"Master Mu." Lu Qingzhou pushed the brocade box in front of Mu Qianchen and said respectfully, "It was thanks to Master Mu that he asked the Queen Mother for the life-saving pills that my wife's life was saved last time. Today, I have brought my wife here to express my gratitude to Master Mu."
As Lu Qingzhou spoke, he opened the brocade box. Inside lay a night-shining pearl as big as a quail egg. Seeing the night-shining pearl, Gu Yunran took a deep breath.
This is the night pearl that her brother brought back for her from the Northern Barbarians, and it is the largest one. When did Lu Qingzhou take it away? How come she didn’t know about it?
"you!"
Gu Yunran wanted to curse, but Lu Qingzhou glared at her. Mu Qianchen's gaze fell on Gu Yunran's face, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He accepted it without hesitation.
Gu Yunran just felt a tightness in his chest, so he picked up the teacup and drank the tea sip by sip.
For a moment, the room was silent, and the pavilion was stuffy and quiet.
Lu Qingzhou had something on his mind. He felt very uneasy. His palms were sweating and beads of sweat were oozing out of his forehead.
Mu Qianchen's fingers tapped the edge of the table without rhythm, and each tap felt like it was hitting Lu Qingzhou's chest, making his heart beat wildly.
He felt that sitting for one more second was torture.
He kept winking at Gu Yunran, but Gu Yunran didn't want to help him at all and pretended not to see it. Lu Qingzhou became anxious.
After glaring at Gu Yunran, he laughed dryly and said, "Master Mu, it's a bit hot in this pavilion. Why don't we sit by the pond?"
Gu Yunran glanced at Mu Qianchen. She originally thought that he would refuse, but unexpectedly he agreed immediately.
"OK."
He stood up and walked towards the pond, standing under the sycamore tree.
Lu Qingzhou followed Mu Qianchen, and Gu Yunran walked behind Lu Qingzhou. Lu Qingzhou stopped, reached out and grabbed Gu Yunran and pushed her forward.
Gu Yunran was not paying attention and stumbled, falling straight forward.
"ah!"
Gu Yunran screamed, and then there was a splash, and she fell into the pond.
"Yun Ran." Lu Qingzhou was startled and shouted anxiously, "Hurry up and help! Yun Ran can't swim, and neither can I."
Mu Qianchen glanced at Lu Qingzhou with a cold look, and almost at the moment when Gu Yunran fell, he jumped into the pond without hesitation.
When Lu Qingzhou on the shore saw this scene, he was so happy that he almost jumped up.
He hurriedly shouted, "Master Mu, Yun Ran, wait a moment, I'll go get someone to rescue you."
Having said that, he ran away in a hurry.
In the water, Mu Qianchen hugged Gu Yunran and carried her ashore.
"A-choo."
Although it was summer, Gu Yunran still felt cold even though he was soaked and the breeze blew.
The wet hair stuck to her face, making her round face look even more delicate. The wet clothes wrapped around her plump figure, arousing endless imagination.
The clothes we wear in summer are already thin, and now it seems like it’s almost the same as wearing no clothes.
Mu Qianchen swallowed and picked up Gu Yunran horizontally.
"Take you to change clothes."
"Let me go." Gu Yunran pushed him away and struggled to get down. "It's not okay to do this in broad daylight."
“No one dares to come without my permission.”
Mu Qianchen carried Gu Yunran to the ear room next to the study, where there were clothes for him to change at any time, as well as... women's clothes.
Gu Yunran's eyes darkened slightly, and she felt a tightness in her chest. Unable to hold it back, she asked, "Why do you have women's clothes here?"
He didn't answer.
Instead, he walked to Gu Yunran and untied her belt. The familiar smell came over her. Gu Yunran was flustered and she suddenly grabbed his hand.
"what are you up to?"
"What do you think?" Mu Qianchen pried Gu Yunran's hands apart and lifted her chin. "You deliberately fell into the pond and waited for me to rescue you, huh?"
"Buy time for Lu Qingzhou..."
"You know everything?" Gu Yunran swallowed, feeling that breathing had become difficult. She took a step back and said, "Listen to my explanation. Lu Qingzhou deliberately let me fall into the water. While you were saving me, he went... um."
He blocked the rest of the words in his mouth.
Thinking that there was a study next to them, Lu Qingzhou should be rummaging through the drawers at this time, and she and Mu Qianchen were doing this right under Lu Qingzhou's nose, Gu Yunran became flustered.
She could only make a grunting sound and reached out to hit him, trying to push him away.
"Don't move." Mu Qianchen held Gu Yunran's restless hand with his big and powerful hand, hooked one hand around her neck, and kissed her lips, forehead, cheeks... and neck.
Finally having a chance to breathe, Gu Yunran reminded: "Lu Qingzhou is still next door."
"It doesn't matter. He probably doesn't have the energy to care about us now."
"He sent you to me, how can I waste his kindness." Mu Qianchen pulled hard, and the belt fell off, and Gu Yunran's body stiffened.
······
Mu Qianchen took off Gu Yunran's clothes, picked up a set of clean clothes for her to wear, and then carefully tied the belt for her.
"I've gained a little weight recently, so I need to change my clothes size."
"Why do you have so many women's clothes here?" Gu Yunran finally couldn't help but asked the doubt in her heart again. She looked at Mu Qianchen quietly.
Mu Qianchen lowered his head and carefully tidied Gu Yunran's clothes, as if he didn't hear it. He remained silent, or perhaps he didn't want to answer the question.
Gu Yunran took a deep breath and asked with a smile, "These patterns are all her favorites. Did you prepare them for her?"
Mu Qianchen paused and looked up at Gu Yunran, "You have too many questions."
He turned around and walked out with a cold face.
Looking at Mu Qianchen's indifferent back, Gu Yunran felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. So, does that mean she doesn't even have the qualifications to mention that person?
Her eyes turned red and Gu Yunran felt a soreness in her nose. She suddenly wanted to cry, but then she thought about who she was crying for.
She held back her tears and swallowed all her unhappiness.
Suddenly, her heart churned and she began to dry heave. Mu Qianchen paused as he had just stepped out of the doorway and hurriedly turned back to Gu Yunran.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Yunran pushed him away, "You don't need to ask."
"Are you still throwing a tantrum?" He put his arms around her.
"No, let me go, I want..." Gu Yunran's stomach was churning, she felt very uncomfortable, she couldn't speak clearly after that, she just pushed Mu Qianchen with her hands.
However, no matter how hard she pushed Mu Qianchen, he was unwilling to let her go. Mu Qianchen reached out and grabbed her chin, turning her face so that she looked at him. "Don't mention her in front of me anymore, remember?"
Oh, she doesn’t deserve to mention that person, right?
And warned her?!
Gu Yunran didn’t know if it was because Mu Qianchen’s hand was too strong and hurt her, or because he was sad, but she just felt even more uncomfortable in her stomach.
"vomit!"
She couldn't bear it any longer and vomited all over Mu Qianchen.
