Chapter 174: Not Leaving

Instead of moving, Zhou Huaijin tightened his grip of her.

Gu Chaoyan gave him a push subconsciously, but he tightened his grip even more. Gu Chaoyan felt that she was almost choked to death. That did not seem right. He always let go of her whenever she gave him a push before, but today...

What on earth had happened?

As she thought about this, Gu Chaoyan sank her face. “What happened?”

Zhou Huaijin patted her head. “Silly sweetie, why didn’t you tell me you were wronged at the Gu Mansion? Don’t stay here anymore when the Gu Family are treating you in this way. Move in with me to Lord Huai’s Mansion! Let’s get married now, so no one would dare to bully you!”

Gu Chaoyan was startled. Only now did she realize that he was feeling concerned about her.

He must have learned what happened at the Gu Mansion today.

“It is fine! I know what they are like after spending so many years with them. I no longer feel sad about it!” Then Gu Chaoyan passed the apples she harvested from the space and gave it to Zhou Huaijin. “Try it.”

Well... Zhou Huaijin found that this was different from what he had expected, but...

He was going to eat the apple Yan gave him.

He took a bite and found that the apple was different! It tasted much better than the tributed ones.

“What do you think?”

“Very tasty!” Zhou Huaijin said, “Special indeed!”

Gu Chaoyan smiled with satisfaction.

Of course they were tasty. She planted them!

The fruits were definitely going to taste great.

Speaking of that, Gu Chaoyan said happily, “I am going to make liquor out of them. When the brewery works, we are going to open a restaurant with our stores.”

Although Zhou Huaijin had no idea what made her think about opening a restaurant, he felt quite happy to hear the phrase “our stores”.

Zhou Huaijin nodded constantly.

Gu Chaoyan found the whole thing proper as well.

“When do you think you will marry me?” Zhou Huaijin asked.

Well... that seemed to be a very unexpected question, but Gu Chaoyan did want to marry him.

It was just... It was just that the nicer Zhou Huaijin was to her, the less she wanted to disappoint him. At least, she must not disappoint him now.

She took hold of Zhou Huaijin’s hands lightly. “Wait until I deserve you.”

“You already deserve me!”

“But in other people’s eyes. I am not excellent enough to be your wife. I think I can prove myself by changing myself.” Gu Chaoyan said. That was what she was going to do for the original host of this body.

“Okay.” Zhou Huaijin replied.

Having said this, Zhou Huaijin continued to eat the apples.

He finished four of the apples in a row.

It was not until Gu Chaoyan found him getting full that she said, “Aren’t you supposed to go home now?” Gu Chaoyan pointed at the day that was getting darker.

Zhou Huaijin shook his head. “I need to keep you company so that you won’t feel too sad.”

Well... She was not that sad after all.

Before she was able to explain a thing, Zhou Huaijin already asked Sword One to bring a blanket into the room. He smoothed it out and said, “I will sleep here on the floor.”

Having said this, he already sorted out his “mattress”.

Gu Chaoyan had to let him do it.

She got quite tired after the day’s trip. Soon she fell into sleep as she laid down.

Zhou Huaijin could not fall asleep. He kept gazing at Gu Chaoyan sleeping. The moonlight brushed over Gu Chaoyan’s body and left a thin layer upon her raven hair. Zhou Huaijin could not help but raise his hand to feel her hair. It was a warm room, but Zhou Huaijin wondered if Gu Chaoyan would get cold.
