NovelEnglishChapter 626: Afraid
Zhao Yiqiu looked down at Gu Chaoyan.
He was showing no expression and was about to listen to what she was about to say.
Gu Chaoyan was hesitating, but she still spoke. “Mr. Zhao, are you afraid of me?”
Zhao Yiqiu felt shocked. He looked at Gu Chaoyan’s face.
He suddenly remembered that she was just a girl that recently became an adult, one that had no mother and a father who hated her and drove her out of the family directly. She was already scared by what had happened to her, and he probably should not give her too much stress at the moment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHuaijin was Shuang’s child and he did have preference inwardly. He did not want Huaijin to get hurt, that was why he asked her, but he had never thought about being afraid of her.
Lady Chaoyan was calm, but she was still a child, younger than Huaijin, young enough to be his own daughter.
Zhao Yiqiu, for the very first time, started to feel some guilt inwardly.
He looked at Gu Chaoyan and said sincerely, “No. In the Saint Divine Land, or in the Feather Mulberry Land, or even in North Q, there are always many strange things. Even throughout the history of this continent, there have been many strange things happening which we can’t possibly imagine. Like the Phoenix Girl… is it strange that there is something like the Phoenix Girl here? Destiny Monk, however, is right. There is something like this existing, something that can directly affect our country. So you should not be scared. There may be some other explanations out there. The King is looking for Destiny Monk, and we can do that too. Maybe he will give us the proper answer.” Zhao Yiqiu said. He did not deny the abilities of Destiny Monk.
Gu Chaoyan nodded. She felt that Mr. Zhao was quite heart-warming.
“Thank you, Mr. Zhao, give me two days to get ready, then I will tell him,” Gu Chaoyan said. Despite the consolation, she still did not look well.
Zhao Yiqiu was about to say something more, when he found that he could not say anything more. So he stopped putting too much thinking into that.
Gu Chaoyan took Sword One and Qing back to her own room.
When she was in her own room, Gu Chaoyan refused to go out.
The following day, when Zhou Huaijin came to visit her.
Gu Chaoyan said that she had fallen asleep and refused to meet him. On the third day, Zhou Huaijin came again, but he waited for a short while outside the room instead of passing on any more messages.
On the fourth day, Qing could not stand it any more. She told Gu Chaoyan, who turned him down again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn the fifth day, Gu Chaoyan was ready. And she agreed to meet Zhou Huaijin.
On this day, Gu Chaoyan and Zhou Huaijin had no idea how to look at each other. Gu Chaoyan was worried and Zhou Huaijin was concerned that the way he looked at her might stress her out.
Sword One had Wuyi Tea ready.
When the tea was served, the scent went all over the room, which calmed down Gu Chaoyan inwardly. She sipped the tea little by little.
Zhou Huaijin was very concerned about her, and was about to say that he did not have to meet her, he could just watch her from outside every day, that would be enough for him. In this way, she would not be anxious or panic.
He was aware of her small moves. She was usually calm when drinking the tea, and when she kept drinking without caring about the scent, he knew that something was wrong with her, and she was not paying attention to the tea in her hands.
Finally, Gu Chaoyan stood up and said, “Jin, I need to make a confession. I am a person without pulse, and Mr. Zhao says that only the deceased don’t have a pulse.” Gu Chaoyan said with a serious expression on her face.
Zhou Huaijin’s face changed.
