Chapter 68 The Big Money Boss is Very Bad
Mu Junyan frowned slightly.
She was resisting herself from the bottom of her heart.
Especially the bowl of ginseng soup, which made her feel that it was an exchange for her to contribute her body and make him happy.
But the girl's cheeks were flushed with nervousness and shyness.
Especially her lips, which are as red as a ripe cherry, and the skin would break if you kiss them lightly.
Mu Junyan was originally joking to ease her tension, but who knew that after all, it ended up making him angry.
And this fire brought out a bad feeling.
The joy of exchanging with a purpose may not be felt while one is sinking in, but it will make him extremely irritated afterwards.
Who is torturing whom?
Mu Junyan lowered his head and twirled the ring on his finger, removing the faint smile on his face, his eyes grew a little colder.
How about changing the approach and trying again to see if I am simply attracted to the woman, or am I interested in Gu Huan as a person?
"Can you play chess?"
Gu Huan was trying to figure out why Mu Junyan's expression suddenly changed. Suddenly she heard the question and answered subconsciously, "Yes."
Mu Junyan looked up in surprise: "Have you learned it?"
Gu Huan had learned it once or twice. It was Brother Ji who taught her. Brother Ji was very good at chess.
It’s a pity that I don’t have the chance to learn from Brother Ji anymore.
Later, she used the chess manual that Brother Ji gave her and wanted to study it on her own, not wanting to let Brother Ji's efforts go to waste.
But she was too stupid, and there was no one to practice with her, so she made no progress.
Gu Huan's eyes warmed up, and she quickly lowered her head and whispered, "I have only learned the simplest things in the sect school, but that doesn't mean I know it."
"I'm good at chess, I can teach you."
Gu Huan was overjoyed when she heard this, and said sweetly, "Really? You are so nice."
Mu Junyan couldn't suppress the curl of his lips.
Look, the kitten's fawning look is back again.
He actually liked it very much.
"Oh, that's right."
Gu Huan suddenly ran over with her skirt lifted up, pulled out a banknote from her sleeve and handed it over with both hands.
"Master, I will compensate you for the jade pendant."
Mu Junyan raised his eyebrows. He really gave it to him.
He took it without hesitation and put it away.
Gu Huan: “…”
When I looked up, I saw the little girl staring with her eyes wide open and her mouth pouting.
A greedy ghost.
I knew she actually couldn't bear to do it.
Mu Junyan pretended not to notice her depressed look, walked to the bookshelf, and took out a set of chess pieces and chessboard from the drawer.
Sitting cross-legged on the couch, he set up the chessboard: "Come here, choose a color."
Gu Huan was sulking, secretly complaining that the Duke was stingy.
A full one thousand taels, just like that, gone.
She is really not narrow-minded!
Is it her fault?
If she had known at that time that the person she was saving was the eldest son of the Duke of Yong, she would never have dared to lose the jade pendant. She would have worn it all day long, protecting it like her eyeballs.
I couldn't help but glare at him.
Even though he was handsome, he couldn't calm her anger.
"What are you standing there for? Come here quickly."
Mu Junyan turned a blind eye to her anger.
Gu Huan took a deep breath and comforted herself silently.
That's good. If I teach her how to play chess, I won't let Brother Ji down.
Thinking of Brother Ji, Gu Huan suppressed her temper, climbed onto the couch obediently, knelt down opposite him, and pointed at Bai Zi.
Mu Junyan brought the black chess box in front of him: "You go first."
Gu Huan was a little panicked.
"I really only know the basics, do you have any chess manuals?"
She didn't even understand the chess manual that Brother Ji gave her.
Mu Junyan answered simply: "No, you can only learn the essence of chess by playing chess directly."
Gu Huan was extremely alert, trying hard to recall the first move in the chess book that Brother Ji gave her, and carefully placed the white piece in the center.
She felt that the Duke of Yong should show mercy to a beginner like her.
She just plays the game according to the rules in the chess manual and asks if she doesn't understand something.
Unexpectedly, in the first round, in less than half a cup of tea, she was ruthlessly killed without a single trace of armor left.
Her little face turned red with anger.
She let down Brother Ji's teachings and brought shame to him.
no.
Just like Brother Ji said, you must get up where you fell!
Gu Huan bit her lip, sat up straight, took a deep breath, and put down the white piece again.
Mu Junyan saw her unwilling look and thought that she was an enterprising little girl.
Gu Huan never expected that for three consecutive games, Mu Junyan still did not give in at all, which made her stunned.
"Go on." Mu Junyan remained calm.
Gu Huan: “……!”
Fortunately, she felt that he was a kind-hearted man.
How is he kind?
Two cups of tea passed...
"Why are your eyes red?" Mu Junyan tilted his head to look at her.
Gu Huan hummed sullenly, unwilling to say more to him.
What kind of person is this!
I lost seven games in a row.
Mu Junyan raised his hand and stretched it across to the other side, lifting her chin: "Speak, what's wrong?"
Gu Huan could only make an excuse, her eyes full of grievance: "I didn't get enough rest last night."
"Oh? Why didn't you get enough rest? Didn't you sleep alone last night?" Mu Junyan was surprised.
Gu Huan glared over.
Don't you know why?
Even though he was strong and healthy, he still fed her ginseng soup. He was like a vampire. Not only did he drain her dry, he also crushed her bones. Now she feels pain every time she moves.
This morning, Sister Zhou dragged me to study housekeeping.
Although she was very happy, her body couldn't take it. It was already dark, and this man was still asking her to play chess.
Forget about playing chess, she already knew only the basics, but he still wanted to teach others.
But he didn't give her any slack and defeated her eight times in a row.
The little interest she had in playing chess because of Brother Ji was completely extinguished.
Every time Brother Ji played chess with her, he would give her the win and teach her how to beat him. She would be so happy if she could win a game or two occasionally.
But what about him?
He doesn't have any of the manners that a man should have, which is incomparable to Brother Ji.
Besides, doesn't she want to have a good rest?
Doesn't this entirely depend on the lord's preference?
He asked even though he knew the answer.
Very bad!
But even though she was full of resentment, she didn't have the courage to question him in front of the Duke. She could only hum in a depressed tone with a hint of annoyance.
Mu Junyan pinched the black piece, his eyes fell on the bite mark on his palm, and his mood suddenly became happy.
The more I look at the little girl, the more I think she looks like a cat.
When I want to beg him for something, I'll rub my head against him obediently like a hungry cat, trying to please him in every way possible.
Once angry, he will get a little angry.
Well, it bites.
"Then go back and rest."
Gu Huan's resentful expression disappeared in an instant. She hurriedly put the chess pieces into the chess box, climbed down from the couch, and knelt down in front of Mu Junyan.
"I'll take my leave first. My Lord, have a good rest tonight."
"Take this set of chess pieces and study them carefully."
Gu Huan, who was about to turn around, paused and took a look at the chess pieces and the rosewood chessboard.
Lend it to her or give it to her?
Mu Junyan looked at her eyes rolling around, wondering what she was thinking.
"I'll give it to you."
Gu Huan exclaimed in surprise, but then felt that she was being too ungentlemanly, so she quickly stood up and looked at him carefully.
"Did Grandpa give it to me? This chess set seems very expensive."
Mu Junyan nodded calmly.
"My grandfather gave it to me. It was also the reward for chopping off the first enemy's head. The white chess pieces are made of pure Hetian jade, clear and flawless. There is only one set of Hetian jade chess pieces in the world. The black ones are made of imperial jade, also of the best quality."
Gu Huan was stunned.
It was so precious, and it was given to him by the first Duke. She didn't dare to take it.
Akabane, who couldn't help but eavesdrop in the dark outside the door, was shocked.
The master was reluctant to take out this chess set when playing chess with others, but now he gave it to Miss Huan who knows nothing about chess.
I'm afraid that the master really cares about her.
"What? You don't dare to take it now?"
Mu Junyan looked at her.
Gu Huan thought of the one thousand taels of silver.
Duke Yong's family was indeed wealthy, and he was not afraid of Mu An's tricks.
Instead of leaving it to Mu An, it’s better to give it to her.
Gu Huan quickly hugged the chess pieces and chessboard tightly, and raised what she thought was the sweetest smile: "Thank you, Duke."
"Next time, if you lose miserably like this again, I'll take it back."
Gu Huan hugged her tighter: "I will definitely study hard."
This was bought for one thousand taels.
Gu Huan, happily holding her big baby, was only concerned with running back to Yayun Pavilion.
The Duke seems very happy. I'm sure he won't be angry when she leaves the house tomorrow.
Gu Huan, who was only thinking about leaving the house tomorrow, was completely unaware of Mu Junyan's special feelings for her.
