Chapter 125: Lord Huai Not Happy
Zhou Huaijin’s face sank totally.
So this woman took him as the bet? And she was happy about that?! And she was asking him to be the witness of the bet?!
No way!
Seeing her Brother Lord Huai’s darkened face, Princess Xunyang was not sure what caused that. However, she knew pretty well that if she let County Princess Anxi stay here, she would be blamed too.
Realizing the situation, Princess Xunyang said happily, “I can be the witness, definitely!”
Having said the words, she looked at County Princess Anxi. “County Princess Anxi, we have spent too much time here, let’s go home!”
As she said the words she took her away.
County Princess Anxi was about to say something when Zhou Huaijin said with an upset expression, “Leave now.”
“Please stay, Uncle Zhou.”
As Lord Huai said the words, his men quickly saw Princess Xunyang and County Princess Anxi off, but...
Gu Chaoyan blinked, sensing that something was wrong.
She coughed, took up the tea cup and started to sip the tea, as she threw a sympathetic look at Uncle Zhou.
Zhou Huaijin glared at her, making her lower her head and stuff a snack into her mouth. She chewed in peace, trying to leave herself out of the issue.
“Uncle Zhou, you have been working for us for many years, be careful about whom you let in. You understand pretty well what our rules are.” Zhou Huaijin said with a serious tone, face darkened. He was extremely displeased.
“But didn’t County Princess Anxi...” Uncle Zhou wiped his sweat. County Princess Anxi used to visit Lord Huai’s Mansion before, which was never a problem for Lord Huai. He had thought that Lord Huai allowed that to happen. Anyway, County Princess Anxi was the daughter of the Eldest Princess, so Uncle Zhou did not dare to say anything more.
If Lord categorized County Princess Anxi as “someone”, then he was not going to let her in any more.
Seeing Uncle Zhou getting the point, Zhou Huaijin waved his hand, suggesting that he could leave.
Uncle Zhou was so relieved that he left quickly.
After Uncle Zhou left, Gu Chaoyan felt that the air around her turned extremely cold.
She let out a dry laugh. “The snacks are very tasty, want to have a try, Lord?” She said as she placed the tasty snack in front of Zhou Huaijin’s lips.
Zhou Huaijin did not turn her down and ate it up.
Seeing that he was done Gu Chaoyan took a look at the table and poured another cup of tea. “Drink tea, please.”
Zhou Huaijin finished the tea calmly.
After he was done, she could sense him staring at her with a pair of heated eyes. Gu Chaoyan felt that the situation was wrong, so she got up and said, “I feel a bit tired now, I need a small break. You can get back to your business, don’t mind me any more.”
Having said the words, she was about to dash off.
However... The next second, she was grabbed.
Zhou Huaijin lowered his head and stared at Gu Chaoyan with heated eyes. “If you lose the bet, you are not speaking with me any more?”
Gu Chaoyan finally realized what was wrong. That was what he was upset about, right? Gu Chaoyan laughed. “Don’t worry, I won’t lose the bet.”
Zhou Huaijin was still not happy.
He tightened his grip upon her.
