1334 Duke North 5
Duke North looked quite embarra.s.sed. He had been feeling a bit disappointed but he still had hope in his eyes. However, when he saw Zhou Huaijin, his hope was gone instantly and he turned pale.
He could not help but clench his fists, looking really furious.
His guard was a bit worried as he looked at him. He was fully alert, fearing that Duke North would do something that he shouldn’t.
Zhou Huaijin also noticed Duke North who was lying in bed, when he finished talking to Gu Chaoyan. He tugged at Gu Chaoyan’s hands, whilst looking at Duke North.
!!
Zhou Huaijin had seen through Duke North’s mind ages ago, but Duke North was a person who knew how to control and restrain himself. Therefore, he could hide the real feelings he had inside the heart.
He had gotten married and his wife was a good choice, picked by his mother.
And he should be ready to give birth to children soon.
He had thought that when Duke North got married, he would forget about what was in his mind.
Unexpectedly, Duke North became even more loaded with his past feelings.
He even looked threatening at the moment.
Zhou Huaijin was a very generous, but possessive person. He could ignore some things, but not those that mattered to him. For example, he was never going to allow Chaoyan to be stolen away by anyone else as long as he was present.
He had given Duke North the chance, but right now, Zhou Huaijin could not help feeling very serious. He said to Duke North, “Duke North, if you are well now, just take a break. Apart from Doctor Yinghan, Chaoyan has brought Li Qing and Yu Feng with her, so you can turn to them for help as well, if you need anything.”
“…”
“We have stopped the enemies at the moment, but we can’t relax yet. We need to have more combat against them in the future. Chaoyan is different from the other women, and she may not have time to check up on you with a medical kit as often as before.”
“…”
“Take care Duke North,” Zhou Huaijin said.
Having said that, he walked up to Gu Chaoyan and took her hands. “The day is getting late and the snow has stopped, I will accompany you to check on the array.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded.
It was the best time to form the array, so she needed to take this opportunity.
Duke North was well and as Zhou Huaijin said, Yinghan, Li Qing and Yu Feng were enough to take care of him.
She walked out of the tent with Zhou Huaijin, looking serious.
They had just left when Duke North collapsed in bed. He was no longer as strong as he was a while ago. Sword One glanced at Duke North, who did not seem to have the intention of returning the book. She sighed and left.
Duke North looked at the ceiling of the tent with a pair of tired eyes as if he had not noticed what was going on around him.
He once believed that Lady Chaoyan was different from the other women, thus feeling so different towards her.
He just thought that she was quite different, so he had the intention of speaking with her about the book so that his feelings could be settled.
