He gazed at Gu Chaoyan with a pair of furious eyes, looking displeased.

He was displeased because Gu Chaoyan took him as the bet – wasn't he important in her heart?

That was what Zhou Huaijin was thinking.

Gu Chaoyan understood that he was really p.i.s.sed and that she should not have treated this matter like a joke. She stopped laughing and said to Zhou Huaijin in a serious tone, with her eyes widely opened. “If I lose, I believe that you will still speak with me. The bet is that if I lose, I am not allowed to speak with you, not the other way around.”

Zhou Huaijin's face twisted…

These words… Truly made sense. He had no idea how to counter her.

Then he looked at Gu Chaoyan, showing helplessness and love. “County Princess Anxi is not going to win when she is in a bet with an evil woman like you.”

“Oh really, you are concerned about County Princess Anxi?” Gu Chaoyan pursed her lips, pinching his arm with displeasure.

Zhou Huaijin shook his head.

How could that be possible!? County Princess Anxi was n.o.body in his eyes. Of course he was not concerned about her!

Uncle Zhou did not stop County Princess Anxi from entering Lord Huai's Mansion, not because she was someone special, but because she was n.o.body in his eyes.

However, from now on, she was forbidden to enter the mansion.

Lord Huai's Mansion had a mistress now. Those who had no business were not allowed to enter the mansion as freely as they wished.

He released the arms holding Gu Chaoyan. He had been too anxious to be aware of her wound a minute ago. He should not have behaved in this way.

Zhou Huaijin's eyes sank as he saw the wound on her.

“Didn't you say that you are sleepy? Go and take a break. I will wake you up when dinner is ready.” Zhou Huaijin said with gentleness.

Well… Gu Chaoyan was not actually sleepy. She was using that as an excuse, but that was a truth she did not dare to tell. She nodded slowly. She had just realized that with her consciousness, she was able to get to know more about the magical water, so she decided to give it a try.

She did not have much power in this society, but she was equipped with magic, which should be used properly. It might come in handy in the future.

When she thought about this, Gu Chaoyan laid down in bed. “Go and take a break too, you. Look at the black rings under your eyes!”

As far as she remembered, Zhou Huaijin was next to her when she woke up. He might not have gotten a good sleep either. So he should take a rest too.

Zhou Huaijin nodded. He did have something else to deal with. He called Qing. “Take good care of your Miss, just tell Uncle Zhou if you need anything.”

Qing nodded constantly.

Zhou Huaijin left.

He had punished every person who had harmed Yan…

However those who were not at their position so Yan ended up being in such a situation should be punished too. They ignored his order and worked carelessly. He had to punish them before something more serious happened in the future.

He came to Qingfeng Hall.

Rong Chuxuan kneeled down at the sight of Zhou Huaijin.

Rong Chuxuan had been on a holiday at Qingfeng Hall these past few days.

Seeing Zhou Huaijin, he thought that he was no longer grounded. Pleased, he said, “Lord, it was my fault, I am sorry. From this day on, I will definitely take great care of the Miss of the Gu Family!”

Zhou Huaijin threw a lethal and cold look at Rong Chuxuan.
