Ms. Doctor Divine Chapter 319: Stupid

Chapter 319: Stupid

“Are you stupid!” Gu Chaoyan interrogated with fury, “Is that lantern so important? You just got yourself injured!” she said as she dragged over his hand.

The wound wasn’t serious, but he did bleed a lot. The hidden guards from Shadow Door might not have noticed this, otherwise he would have been stopped from fighting.

She gently rolled up his sleeves, and brought out the ointment she had with her.

She made one extra bottle of the ointment when she was bored a while ago, thinking that it might come in handy someday for Sword One, but now it was Lord Huai who used it before anyone else did. She was feeling very displeased when she thought of how Zhou Huaijin, this dumb-headed man, got himself injured because of a lantern he was holding. The lantern was not as important as his life at all!

Then she dabbed the ointment upon the wound.

When the blood was stopped, Gu Chaoyan was slightly a.s.sured. Then she looked up and saw Zhou Huaijin still smiling.

“What are you smiling for? What if the blade had poison!” Gu Chaoyan snapped.

“But you like this lantern, don’t you?” Zhou Huaijin insisted.

Gu Chaoyan rolled her eyes at him, feeling both angry and comforted. She accepted the lantern after all with a cold expression on her face. “Don’t do this next time.”

“Okay!” Zhou Huaijin answered obediently.

Gu Chaoyan lost interest in staying in the night market, after the incident with the a.s.sa.s.sins occurred. She was worried that such a thing might happen again. So no matter what Zhou Huaijin said, she insisted on returning to the Jiang Mansion.

Zhou Huaijin had to follow her request.

Madame Jiang was already in bed. Even if she was out of bed, Zhou Huaijin would not have mentioned what happened today.

After he took Gu Chaoyan home, Zhou Huaijin returned to Lord Huai’s Mansion with Fu Bao.

The moment he walked into Lord Huai’s Mansion, Zhou Huaijin lost the smiling expression directly. “Find out who did this to us tonight!”

He was trying not to mention such dangerous things in front of Chaoyan. However, unexpectedly, someone dared to make a move at this moment already! His King Father was still healthy on the throne! And they just could no longer wait any more?

What would happen in a couple of years then?

Zhou Huaijin let out a heavy sigh. “Also, go and find that Master of Destiny and ask him what on earth is going on?”

He had not considered what this fortune-teller was saying as something important, but now he had to pay some attention. This man was trying to cause trouble!

Zhou Huaijin breathed in heavily.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gu Chaoyan left the Jiang Mansion for the Gu Mansion. On the day of her departure, Madame Jiang was seeing her off at the door.

“Child, just come and stay here when you have time. The room is yours, always. Just stay there when you are back, okay?” Madame Jiang said as she considered Gu Chaoyan as her own grandchild.

Gu Chaoyan nodded. “I got it, Madame Jiang.”

They waved goodbye to each other and then Zhou Huaijin accompanied Gu Chaoyan into the wagon.

Instead of riding a horse, he shared the same wagon with Gu Chaoyan.

At this moment, Gu Chaoyan brought out a deck of money. “Forgot to tell you one thing. If you have time, please buy a house for me in the capital, alright?”

Zhou Huaijin hesitated, but he still accepted the money.

Although the Jiang Mansion and the Lord Huai’s Mansion were both open for her, she still had her own plan... Alright, it was as simple as seeking a house, he would be fully devoted to that.

The Gu Mansion was not a good place for her to stay all the time.

As they came back to the Gu Mansion, Zhou Huaijin got off the wagon alongside her.
