Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 358: Proposal

Or even worse, told Lady Chaoyan with a very cold expression that she should stay away from him. Whatever the situation was... she must have displeased Lady Chaoyan.

That was why Lady Chaoyan was treating him so coldly today, could it have been because of this matter? Damn, he knew nothing! If he had known about this, he would have apologized himself and made compensation! He should have told her that he was not like that!

However, when could he see Lady Chaoyan again? Maybe on her wedding day?

Was Lord Huai going to marry her as the Princess Consort? Lady Chaoyan seemed to be from a very ordinary family, and she might only have the right to a concubine position. It would be so horrible for her to become just a concubine, she was such a nice girl!

And there would not be any wedding held, if she was going to become the concubine.

Zheng Chenyi felt messy in his mind. He kept thinking about various things, which might or might not happen.

***

Outside the court.

Zhou Huaijin led Gu Chaoyan up into the wagon.

It was not until the wagon started to move forward that he asked, “What happened, did Mrs. Duke North say anything to you to make you so unhappy?”

Gu Chaoyan looked up at Zhou Huaijin with her watery eyes. She was startled. How did he find out? How did he know that she was unhappy? Gu Chaoyan was baffled.

Zhou Huaijin felt her head and said, “Silly girl, I noticed it when you walked in. I believed that Mrs. Duke North must have said something to you for you to get so displeased. I don’t speak with her much, but I know what she is like.”

“Duke North passed away ages ago, and she was the only person that has been supporting the whole Duke North’s Mansion. It is a job that requires a lot of pain, so she would definitely consider it more than others. That might do her some good, because she can always defend Young Duke, but the bad part is...” As he spoke about this, Zhou Huaijin continued, “She might harm Young Duke in this way too.”

Zhou Huaijin was a man with a clear mind. He could see through many things.

Chaoyan knew that he might have guessed what happened. So she threw herself into his arms. Zhou Huaijin’s arms were warm and she felt very secure inside.

“I know that she does all of this for her son’s sake, so I won’t say anything about that. I am just a little unhappy inwardly, but it doesn’t matter, I just don’t want to see her any more in the future,” Gu Chaoyan said.

Zhou Huaijin moved his lips and was about to say something, when he eventually chose to stay silent. He caressed her head softly, then he said with a smile, “I will get the presents ready. I have told the Dean, so you don’t have to be at school these days. Stay put in the mansion!”

It was a cheerful thing that made each of them happy.

Gu Chaoyan nodded and answered. “Okay.”

It was quiet in the wagon as it moved through a noisy street. Gu Chaoyan felt that nothing would make her happier than this.

As they came back to the Gu Mansion...

Zhou Huaijin would have gotten off the wagon first, but Gu Chaoyan stopped him. “Don’t get off now, just leave when I am off.”

Zhou Huaijin threw a look at Gu Chaoyan.

Gu Chaoyan thought for a while and kissed him on his forehead. “I am waiting for your proposal.” Then she hopped off the wagon.
