Chapter 20 I'm sorry, I scared you
Gu Jingchu curled his hands to one side and clenched them tightly.
Just as he was about to step forward, he was blocked by Gu Huailing.
The overwhelming pressure that was as high as a mountain dissipated at this moment.
Gu Jingchu never dared to move forward.
"thump--"
There was a loud bang in a corner where no one cared.
Lin Wanyin fell off the boat into the lake at some point.
"Help--"
"Help--" Lin Wanyin stretched out her hand, flapping her hands on the lake surface, struggling continuously.
She kept looking at Gu Jingchu.
If Chen Yuan had distanced herself from the matter before, Gu Jingchu would never have stood by and watched him die if he fell into the water.
If they had physical contact, she would definitely marry him and become the Crown Prince's wife!
The cry for help attracted everyone's attention.
But no one went into the water to save her.
"Cousin—help—" Lin Wanyin struggled desperately, her heart sinking little by little.
But the more she struggled, the deeper she sank.
Just as Gu Huailing signaled the secret guards to rescue him, a figure resolutely jumped into the water!
It turned out to be Shen Yuan.
Chen Yuan grabbed Lin Wanyin's hair, preventing her from moving, and swam desperately towards the boat.
"Sir, rope, cloak." Chen Yuan shouted at Gu Huailing.
Gu Huailing understood what Shen Yuan meant immediately.
"Get your things ready and turn around." Gu Huailing's voice was terribly deep.
Chen Yuan dragged Lin Wanyin up with great effort.
He raised his leg and kicked her.
Lin Wanyin was shivering in her cloak, glaring at Shen Yuan angrily.
Chen Yuan sneered, "Why are you glaring at me? I jumped into the water to save you, so what's wrong with kicking you?"
"You idiot, trying to use your life to exchange for a man's heart, Lin Wanyin, you are really hopeless."
"If you do that again, I'll just drown you!"
Chen Yuan was really angry and kept chattering.
She was about to curse, but the next moment Gu Huailing picked her up and carried her down to the boat.
Inside the carriage, Gu Huailing's face was terribly gloomy.
Without saying a word, he used a handkerchief to wipe Shen Yuan's wet hair.
"I don't know what Gu Jingchu was thinking. He can obviously swim, but he didn't go down to save people and asked me to jump in."
Gu Huailing continued to move his hands, "When did you learn how to swim?"
Chen Yuan thought for a moment and frowned, "That year, I fell into the water and was rescued by Gu Jingchu. Since then, I have learned how to swim."
Gu Huailing suddenly stopped moving.
It turned out that she had always thought that the person who saved her was Gu Jingchu.
Then, everything made sense.
Gu Huailing's eyes were dark, and a feeling of depression was accumulating in his heart.
He thought he was no longer controlled by his emotions.
But now it seems that is not the case.
Noticed Gu Huailing's abnormality.
Shen Yuan looked up at him, "Sir, what's wrong with you?"
The light inside the carriage was dim, and Gu Huailing's eyes fell on her face.
The woman's skin was fair, even softer than the finest mutton-fat jade.
Gu Huailing's eyes darkened. "It's okay. I was just worried about you."
Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but thinking of what Gu Jingchu had said before, she decided to explain.
She sat up straight, looking straight at Gu Huailing, "Don't take what Gu Jingchu said today to heart, sir."
"Since I have promised you, sir, I will not get involved with others. Will you trust me?"
Her eyes were too clear and without any impurities.
It was wet, as if it was filled with water.
Gu Huailing suddenly couldn't help it.
He put his hands on Shen Yuan's waist and pulled her onto his legs with force.
"Sir." Shen Yuan said in a panic, looking at Gu Huailing in astonishment.
Gu Huailing stared at the woman's lips.
At the moment of the kiss, he raised his hand to cover the woman's eyes.
The moment their lips touched, Shen Yuan's whole body tensed up.
"Hmm..."
Her breathing was completely blocked, and Gu Huailing's kiss was strong and overbearing.
Shen Yuan wanted to dodge, but his lower back was completely held by him, leaving him with nowhere to retreat.
At the moment when Shen Yuan was about to suffocate, Gu Huailing finally let her go.
The Prime Minister, who has always been dignified and self-possessed, and as brave as snow, now has red eyes.
"Gu Huailing, you!" Shen Yuan hadn't even uttered a word of accusation.
Gu Huailing's kiss fell again.
Shen Yuan felt very uncomfortable at the moment because of his grip. Not only was her hair disheveled, but even her clothes were wrinkled.
Shen Yuan raised his hand and tried to push him!
But the man bit her lightly as a punishment.
"Brother." At this moment, Gu Jingchu's voice suddenly sounded outside the carriage.
Chen Yuan was startled, and with strength from nowhere, she pushed Gu Huailing against the wall of the carriage with a dull thud.
Gu Huailing's face was gloomy.
A corner of the carriage curtain was blown open by the wind, and Shen Yuan quickly shrank into the corner.
Gu Huailing put his hand on the car curtain and looked at Gu Jingchu with a cold gaze, "What's the matter?"
Being stared at by Gu Huailing, Gu Jingchu's words seemed to be stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down.
He tried to look inside the carriage, but was blocked by Gu Huailing.
"It's nothing. I wanted to tell Yuan'er to remember to take medicine when you get back to avoid catching a cold." After a while, he found his voice again.
Gu Huailing chuckled, his tone cold and contemptuous, "Is it related to you?"
After saying that, he lowered the curtain.
A deep and cold voice came out, "I will take care of my people."
After saying that, his gaze fell on Shen Yuan. Looking at the woman in the corner, a dense feeling of pain rose in his heart.
Is she so afraid of being seen by Gu Jingchu?
You clearly didn't promise me, so why are you hiding behind me?
Gu Huailing closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, all his emotions were suppressed.
He looked at the person in the corner, an apologetic look on his face, "I'm sorry, I scared you."
Chen Yuan noticed that Gu Huailing was in a bad mood, and slowly shook her head without saying anything.
When they arrived at Qingshi Lane, Chen Yuan was carried all the way back by Gu Huailing.
"What happened?" Taozi looked at Chen Yuan being held by Gu Huailing, thinking that her daughter was injured. She asked anxiously.
"Boil some more hot water and make her a bowl of ginger tea. Your daughter fell into the water, don't let her catch a cold."
Chen Yuan jumped into the water to save someone today, and was bullied by Gu Huailing in the carriage.
My mind was in a daze at the moment. After taking a hot bath, I fell into a deep sleep as soon as I touched the bed.
Shenduyuan, deep in the bamboo forest.
All the secret guards stood in the corner in silence.
Thousands of bamboo leaves rustled. Gu Huailing held a soft sword in his hand and vented all the suppressed anger in his heart on the green bamboo.
Yaoyao was running around excitedly, howling from time to time.
An hour later, Gu Huailing retracted the soft sword.
Looking at the stupid dog lying on the ground, motionless, his eyes were dark and unfathomable.
He snorted and walked around Yaoyao and headed out.
After all, I still can't let her go. I have to go and see her in person to feel at ease.
Gu Huailing was shivering as he galloped on his horse late at night.
Before reaching Qingshi Lane, I saw Taozi running in a panic.
His heart sank, he tightened the reins and asked, "What happened?"
Taozi panted, "The young lady has a high fever, and the young master is not at home. I will go and ask Mr. Chen to come."
Gu Huailing dismounted and said, "Sanjiu, take Taozi to Huichun Hall."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared into the darkness.
