Chapter 107 Shy

Mu Junyan glanced at her, placed his small clothes, a dry towel and a large robe on the stone block, moved the charcoal stove closer, and turned his back.

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Gu Huan could only slowly walk out of the hot spring pool along the stone steps.

He stared at his back and reached for the towel to dry himself.

The wound on her wrapped hand felt stinging and she couldn't exert any force. The towel was too big and difficult to carry, so she could only wipe it roughly and quickly put on her clothes.

The moisture on the body wet the thin silk, making it stick tightly to the body.

Gu Huan felt very embarrassed when she looked at her body, and quickly picked up her robe to take a look.

It's men's clothing.

It should be Mu Junyan’s.

It can cover her entire body.

Gu Huan had no choice but to put it on because there was no belt, and the robe looked like a child wearing adult clothes.

Helplessly, he had to hold the collar of his clothes tightly with one hand and lift up his robe with the other to avoid stepping on it.

Her face flushed, and she whispered, "Master, I'm fine."

Mu Junyan turned around. She looked even weaker in the long robe she was wearing.

The wet long hair stuck to the head, and the water drops on the forehead flowed down the snow-white cheeks.

Gu Huan faced his gaze and took a step forward, but her foot stepped on his robe. She let out a cry and fell into his broad arms.

Mu Junyan opened his arms and embraced the person.

Gu Huan wanted to bury her head in her clothes.

It's so embarrassing.

Then, the person was wrapped in a thick cloak, like a big dumpling.

Gu Huan quickly raised her head, and her body was instantly suspended in the air, with her buttocks firmly supported by someone.

Mu Junyan held her in his arms like a child.

Gu Huan: “…”

It's so embarrassing.

Before she could finish being embarrassed, her head was pressed into a warm neck.

God, her hair was still wet.

"It's windy outside, you'll get cold."

Gu Huan had no choice but to stay still.

After entering the bedroom, Mu Junyan took off the cloak and robe that wrapped her, his eyes fell on her exquisite body, and immediately looked away.

"My clothes are wet, take them off before sleeping."

After Mu Junyan finished speaking, he left the blushing girl behind him, turned around and went out to close the door.

There was a charcoal stove burning in the room, making it warm.

Gu Huan quickly took off her wet clothes and pants, and just as she was about to get under the quilt, she heard a knock on the door.

"Are you ready?"

Gu Huan quickly slipped under the quilt and wrapped herself tightly in it: "Alright."

Mu Junyan came in with a box and placed the things on the low table beside the bed.

"Put your hand out."

Is he going to change his medicine?

Gu Huan obediently stretched out her arm, hanging it and trying to stretch it as straight as possible, to make it as convenient as possible for Mu Junyan to help her change the bandage.

Mu Junyan looked at the ostrich who had tucked her head into the quilt. He grabbed her hand and placed it on his thigh. His arm was trembling, but he remained firm and did not retract it.

He lowered his head and focused on removing the wet gauze for her, gently cleaning the wound and the powder paste.

Gu Huan wanted to curl up her fingers in pain, but she felt something was wrong, so she opened them wide and her little hands were shaking.

Mu Junyan whispered, "I changed to another kind of medicine powder. It doesn't hurt so much. Cry if you want to."

"I don't want to cry." Gu Huanmeng was lying in the quilt, humming a tune with a crying tone.

There was a hint of smile on Mu Junyan's lips.

Oh, what a delicate little girl. I don’t know how she managed to endure when she was bullied by Aunt Pei and Gu Wanru, and when she was kidnapped by criminals.

After cleaning the wound and applying the medicine powder, Gu Huan felt that it was not so painful. Half of her head was exposed from the quilt.

With a heavy nasal voice: "It doesn't hurt much."

Mu Junyan looked at her misty eyes, subconsciously raised his hand to touch her scarlet eyes, squeezed out the tears in her eyes, and skimmed away the water droplets with his heavy fingertips.

It's not that he hates women, but if he has a woman but cannot guarantee that the relationship will last forever, it may even cause her to become a widow. In addition, the palace was eyeing the Mu family army with covetous eyes, so he gave up this idea and endured it for decades.

He didn't care much about the woman's innocence, but he understood that innocence was important to her.

In order to make a living, the little girl tried her best to please him in bed. He did not restrain himself and even enjoyed it.

But at that time he felt it was a deal between two willing parties.

He was also willing to help the girl, after all, she was so pitiful.

But after this period of contact, he found that the girl did not just want to depend on men, but had greater ambitions of her own.

He wanted to take her as his concubine, thinking that she liked and needed it.

But if she really doesn't want to, he won't force her.

Mu Junyan quickly re-bandaged her arm and stuffed her arm back into the quilt. When he retracted his hand, he touched a soft lump.

The two of them froze at the same time.

Mu Junyan quickly stopped and packed up the medicine bottles and other things, "It will be dawn soon, let's take a rest."

"Thank you, sir."

The little girl's murmur came from behind. Mu Junyan didn't look back, but went straight out and closed the door.

Gu Huan was too tired, so she took a hot spring bath. After relaxing her whole body and mind, she soon fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes again, I was met with two pairs of concerned eyes.

"The girl is awake!" Donghua shouted excitedly.

"I'll go see if Miss Shen's medicine is ready." Dong Qing immediately turned around and ran out.

After a while, Shen Li came in with Dong Qing and a bowl of medicine.

She immediately glanced at him and said, "He's been causing me a lot of trouble all day long."

Gu Huan blushed and dared not say a word. She drank the medicine obediently.

It’s so painful, but I dare not say it.

Shen Li frowned and looked at her, "Not bitter?"

There is a particularly bitter medicine here, but for the sake of its efficacy, no sugar can be added.

Gu Huan finished drinking and almost vomited. She swallowed hard and opened her mouth with a bitter taste.

"I finished drinking it, it's not bitter."

But that little face was wrinkled like a chrysanthemum.

Shen Li rolled his eyes and stuffed a bayberry into her mouth.

It's sour and sweet, just the right amount to counteract the bitterness.

Gu Huan chewed happily while letting the two maids help her to dress and dress.

Mu Junyan's men had already prepared the carriage and were waiting for it. Mu Junyan carefully carried Gu Huan into the carriage.

Gu Huan wanted to say that she could leave.

But, I dare not say.

"Have a seat. Let's go home."

Gu Huan pulled his sleeve and said, "Duke, you don't want to get in the car?"

Mu Junyan looked at her trembling hands, which must still be painful, and felt distressed, but he couldn't get in the car and drive around with her.

He patted her hand gently and said comfortingly, "I'll be on horseback, following the car. Don't be afraid. The three of them will be with you."

Gu Huan uttered an "oh" and suddenly clenched her fists again, whispering, "I heard them talking about the young master and the prince. The person who kidnapped me... could it be Prince Jiang?"

She couldn't say that she was reborn, knowing that it was Prince Jiang who met Gu Wanru that night.

She had originally hoped that last night's meeting would result in a deal like in her previous life, where she would take advantage of the information gap to save the Pei family and completely cut off the Pei family's supply to Aunt Pei and Gu Wanru.

I didn't expect that I would end up being harmed and nothing happened.

Therefore, she had to remind Mu Junyan to keep an eye on Prince Jiang and be wary of the possibility that the military winter clothing had been swapped.

Mu Junyan naturally guessed it.

"Okay, I'll find out who's behind this. Just don't worry."

Gu Huan still didn't want to let go, but she had to, so she had to sit back obediently and wrap herself in the blanket.

That night, she experienced life and death again, and finally found that Mu Junyan was worried about her from the bottom of his heart. She felt indescribably complicated.

Donghua and the other two got in the car.

When they entered the city, the streets were already very busy.

The onlookers were talking about it.

The news of the kidnapping of the young lady of the Duke of Yong's mansion had spread throughout the capital. At this moment, the Duke of Yong rode a horse and brought his carriage back to the city. The Inspection Office also came back with him and stopped the first investigation in the city. Of course, the person was found.

Everyone was wondering how the Duke's Mansion would deal with the young lady who had been kidnapped overnight.

Similar things have happened before, when women from aristocratic families were abducted, and without exception, they either had their hair cut to become nuns or hanged themselves.
