Zhou Huaijin did not find that sentence nicely. What did she mean that Chaoyan did not have to worry about Zheng Chenyi? Chaoyan did not care for him at all. She was here to save his life! Chaoyan was worrying about herself, not others!
Zhou Huaijin was declaring his dominance. He almost burst out that she was his woman!
Mrs. Duke North was also surprised. She had not expected that Lady Chaoyan and Lord Huai would be in such a relationship. She instantly regretted what she did yesterday. If Duke North could establish a relationship with Lord Huai, then Chen would have an easier life! She should not have said those words to her yesterday.
Now Mrs. Duke North understood one thing – That was why Lady Chaoyan said those words yesterday to put her into such an embarrassing situation.
It was because her misunderstanding towards her intention made her angry. She felt that she was too reckless to behave in this way. She should have made an investigation about her special relationship with Lord Huai. She wouldn’t have said those words, and Lady Chaoyan would not be feeling so weird about Duke North’s Mansion.
She had made a huge mistake. It was probably Chen’s sudden accident that made her reckless.
She had to have a thorough conversation with Lady Chaoyan later.
She was at least going to be a concubine to Lord Huai in the future, since Lord Huai declared their relationship. However, a concubine would have some say about a lot of things.
Zhou Huaijin already sat down at Zheng Chenyi’s bedside.
He took a look at Zheng Chenyi and saw that he was doing well and color had returned to his face even though he could not move. Zhou Huaijin felt assured seeing him in this way. “Didn’t expect that the spies of the enemies had sneaked into the capital! I am afraid that something big is happening in North Q. But don’t worry, just get well. Chaoyan says that you are well, so take a rest and you will soon get back on your feet,” Zhou Huaijin said.
He did not know Zheng Chenyi well, but they were brothers to some degree. That was why he told him those things.
Zheng Chenyi took a look at Zhou Huaijin and then at Gu Chaoyan who was drinking tea by herself not faraway.
He did not want to admit it, but he had to say that they looked very cute together, and they seemed close.
Zheng Chenyi had just made a move to touch the book when he resisted. He smiled. “I got it!”
Then he looked at Zhou Huaijin and Chaoyan. “Lord, are you getting married?”
Zheng Chenyi was very uncertain about this question. A small voice was whispering inside his head, trying to deny this matter.
Zhou Huaijin smiled briefly. “Yes, Father has approved of it. I am old enough to get married, and Chaoyan is very nice.”
Gu Chaoyan smiled briefly instead of looking at Zheng Chenyi. She showed a bashful look after taking a small sip from the teacup.
Mrs. Duke North was panicking. She did not catch what they talked about, except for one thing – “Chaoyan is very nice.”
It seemed that all she had guessed was true. It seemed that Lord Huai was marrying her!
Mrs. Duke North could not sit still any more. She looked at Gu Chaoyan and said, “Lady Chaoyan, the men need to talk, so can I have a word with you too?”
