Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 290: The Contest

Zhou Huaijin was still staring at Gu Chaoyan motionlessly.

It was a cool day of early spring, and Gu Chaoyan felt heat arising inside her. She felt a little warm. Even though she was in a close relationship with Zhou Huaijin, she was still not feeling that comfortable with him so close.

“I am sorry.” Gu Chaoyan gave up. “But don’t stay so close to me.”

She was so nervous that her eyelashes were shivering.

Seeing the way she behaved, Zhou Huaijin did not continue, but caressed her cheeks gently and withdrew, putting his hands back where they belong.

They had spent quite a lot of time together these days. So he had a pretty clear understanding of what Yan was like. She never made promises that she could not accomplish. She was not like other ordinary girls. She was proud and she wasn’t someone who hid behind him. He was just a little bit concerned about her. He did not want to interfere with her private life.

He took hold of her hand that was hanging down, then he said seriously, “I will compete with you.”

Gu Chaoyan was still flushing. Hearing that he insisted on competing, she thought for a while and nodded whilst whispering, “Just do as much as you can.”

Zhou Huaijin nodded.

The wagon pulled over and they had arrived at Yellow Crane.

Zhou Huaijin got off the wagon, offered her his hand and helped Gu Chaoyan off the wagon. Then Princess Xunyang came to her and saw Gu Chaoyan’s strange behavior. “Chaoyan, what happened to you? Are you feeling unwell? Why is your face so red?” She said as she tried to feel Gu Chaoyan’s forehead.

Gu Chaoyan took hold of Princess Xunyang’s hands and said as she avoided her gaze, “It’s fine, just a little hot in the wagon.”

Hot? Xunyang checked the thick outfits she was wearing. It was autumn and the weather was getting colder and colder at the Saint Divine Land. Why was it hot in the wagon? She was there too, and she didn’t find it very hot.

Xunyan followed them with a confused look on her face.

Zhou Huaijin, on the other hand, was quite pleased. He kept smiling along the way.

At the sight of Manager Song, Zhou Huaijin was still wearing a smile on his face. Manager Song touched his eyes and thought that he had not seen it right. He was only assured when he saw his master showing a bright smile at him, but Elder Miss was standing next to him in silence.

Manager Song seemed to have understood the reason.

If the Lord was here, the bet with Restaurant Jixian would not be a problem any more. He was definitely going to find a solution.

They were just discussing when a proud pageboy from Restaurant Jixian came running, urging them. “What are the Yellow Crane staff doing here? Are you too afraid to do the contest?”

The page boy was blocked outside the restaurant, so he did not know what was inside.

Gu Chaoyan looked at Zhou Huaijin who nodded. Then they started to go out with Sword One and Fu Bao, startling the proud pageboys. They were all startled by Zhou Huaijin’s appearance. They never knew that Lord Huai was there as well

“Let’s go,” Gu Chaoyan said coldly.

They were just shivering when Fu Bao stopped them. “Lead the way.”

The pageboys walked forward with their heads lowered.

Restaurant Jixian was not very far away.

County Princess Anxi was very glad at the sight of Gu Chaoyan. She thought that she would be able to do anything to her, as long as she was here. However she had just taken a few steps when she spotted Zhou Huaijin and her expression changed.
