Chapter 799: Helpless Chaoyan
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Chaoyan’s eyes were large, bright and crystal clear. She always seemed to feel like getting close to Zhou Huaijin the moment she saw him, especially when she had not seen him for a few days.
Zhou Huaijin felt that his heart was melting as he saw her in front of him.
Gu Chaoyan had always been calm and quiet. Even when she was facing him she was mostly quiet. You would need to feel and notice the love she showed. When you noticed the love with your heart, you would feel extra warmth and sweetness.
Zhou Huaijin took hold of her hands and pinched her face. “What is going on, you seem to have lost too much weight.”
Zhou Huaijin’s sudden actions made Gu Chaoyan flush. They were in the yard and everyone was watching them. She subconsciously turned around, gave a light cough, picked up her tea and drank from it, then she answered. “I may have gotten too busy at Xinlin Clinic to take a good rest. Sword One has
been taking good care of me, and I will get better soon.”
She said that because she wanted to stop Zhou Huaijin from thinking that Sword One wasn’t doing a good job, but Sword One did not think of any of these. She lowered her head and chuckled.
‘When he heard her words, Zhou Huaijin gripped Gu Chaoyan’s hands. He said carefully, “Chaoyan, I have to confess something to you.”
Gu Chaoyan had gone to drink some tea when she heard what Zhou Huaijin said. He looked serious.
That was the first time for him to look so serious, and she believed that something must have gone wrong.
Well
Before Zhou Huaijin said anything, Gu Chaoyan did not think too much. She did not like making strange guesses. All she needed to do was to hear him out.
However, she would not cry over some so-called things. She would deal with the situation rationally based on the situation, if the other party had made a mistake.
“Tell me.” Gu Chaoyan sounded calm.
“Father has been hosting the selection of new girls these days, and apart from those selected for himself, new girls are added to the mansions of different princes. Father just asked me to meet him in the court, where he told me about the arrangement of new girls.” Zhou Huaijin looked helpless.
Gu Chaoyan more or less understood what was happening.
The King must have granted some maids to Zhou Huaijin.
She was someone with her own principles. Zhou Huaijin was just the lord, and he had to accept many things. She could forgive him for accepting the maids, but if he ever fell for someone else, Gu Chaoyan would leave him.
She did not believe that a man could have feelings for two women at the same time.
Gu Chaoyan nodded and was prepared for what he was about to say.
“T failed to turn down my father, so I took in two maids. Father has given them to me as serving maids, but you don’t need to worry, I will get them to work somewhere else, when they are delivered to us.” Zhou Huaijin promised.
Gu Chaoyan’s face twitched. She looked at Zhou Huaijin with a complicated look on her face.
She had thought that he took in two princess concubines, but it was just two maids. So why was he being so serious?
Gu Chaoyan ma.s.saged her temples and said helplessly, “I got it, don’t worry, I won’t blame you for that.”
She patted Zhou Huaijin’s hands, looking very serious.
Zhou Huaijin laughed and felt a.s.sured.
Gu Chaoyan’s face became even more complicated.

At the Qianging Palace, the King was waiting for De Fu’s message.
‘When De Fu returned from the town, one day had already pa.s.sed.
The King asked at the sight of De Fu, “How is it? Is the Queen doing better?”
