Chapter 351: Abilities

Then he continued. “How is the Young Duke doing anyway?”

“He is doing fine. He can get back to his feet after having a proper rest.” Gu Chaoyan answered calmly.

King Anqing nodded. He was smiling, but no one could tell what he was thinking inwardly.

Gu Chaoyan had thought that King Anqing would ask her some sharp questions, yet nothing happened afterwards. Instead, he just waved his hand, “Since the Young Duke is doing better, then all will be fine. You have done a great job, and I will ask someone to grant you presents at your home. You can leave now.”

Gu Chaoyan made a goodbye greeting, and then she left.

Gu Chaoyan was confused – she had not expected that the Young Duke’s wellness was the King’s purpose for seeing her.

“Just come out, you both.” King Anqing said after Gu Chaoyan left.

Zhou Huailing and Zhou Huaijin walked out of the internal room.

Both of them were wearing a flat expression on their faces. They kneeled down and greeted the King. “Father!”

King Anqing looked at these two sons of his… Both of them were excellent men. He should not favor either of them, so… “Since you both fell for the same girl, then let’s see who Lady Chaoyan would like to marry. You can court her as you wish, and she will marry the one that manages to get her. I won’t be involved.”

Then he waved his hands, suggesting that they should leave.

Zhou Huaijin smiled briefly. “Thank you, Father!”

“Thank you!” Zhou Huailing added confidently.

King Anqing nodded and said nothing more.

As they walked out of Qianqing Palace, Zhou Huailing and Zhou Huaijin exchanged a look, showing unconvinced looks.

“Since it depends on Lady Chaoyan herself, then I am afraid that you will have to miss her,” Zhou Huailing said confidently. Zhou Huaijin might look handsome, but compared to himself, he was a cold-hearted killer that no girl would like. After all, he was the most popular one in the whole capital.

Therefore, he believed that Lady Chaoyan was going to choose him! He was very confident.

Zhou Huaijin showed a flat expression on his face. “Don’t be overly confident, brother.” Then he left.

He would have left directly, but when he was in his father’s palace. He heard that Chaoyan tripped at the gate and wondered if she was injured.

This silly girl… she was always so calm so why did she get so nervous now and hurt herself?

He hastened his footsteps, then went back to the yard…

Sword One opened the door for him.

Zhou Huaijin suggested that Sword One should not follow before he walked in.

Gu Chaoyan was only wearing her underwear. She stretched her hands when she heard the sound of footsteps. “Sword One, what took you so long?”

She had not intended to get changed, but she got a stain on her dress at the gate of Qianqing Palace, so she had to wear a new one.

Gu Chaoyan was not patient, so she started to ask for her when Sword One was only out for a short while.

Zhou Huaijin turned her around as he saw her skinny back figure. Then he sized her up from head to toes and then lifted her sleeves.

Gu Chaoyan did not expect him right now. She panicked and intended to cover herself, but Zhou Huaijin was stronger.

She looked helpless. “We are not yet married, don’t do this now!”
