Zhou Huaijin was also looking at Gu Chaoyan. He was more worried than confused.


    Chaoyan was always a very calm and cold person, and she had been a little impulsive a while ago, whilst he had no idea what caused that.


    He looked at her, looking for the cause.


    Gu Chaoyan caught Zhou Huaijin''s eyes and flushed. Instead of looking at him, she said with a serious tone. "I am back at my room now, you should leave."


    "…"


    "I am going to take a bath and get changed."


    She got up first and started to head to the bathroom, trying to drive away Zhou Huaijin.


    Zhou Huaijin was confused, but he got up as well.


    "Qing, do remember to have food prepared. We had a long day and then we went into the court and ate no dinner. You should eat first before sleeping," Zhou Huaijin said to Qing, fearing that they would not be able to stop Chaoyan from being impulsive.


    Qing nodded constantly, but Gu Chaoyan refused to look at Zhou Huaijin.


    "I am leaving," Zhou Huaijin said with a pampering tone, as he turned around and left.


    Gu Chaoyan turned around and flushed.


    She was in a veryplicated mood.


    She had acted like that outside because Huaijin suddenly swept her into his arms, and she could not resist the heat inside her heart. She liked Huaijin deeply, but she did not like how her body dominated her, thus treating him in that way.


    However, she had no idea how to exin to him, and the moment she wanted to say something, she would think of her true feelings and subconsciously try to drive him away.


    Now that he was gone, Gu Chaoyan started to feel a bit worried.


    He had not made any mistakes, but she treated him in that way just because of her strange feelings.


    Gu Chaoyan felt quite worried.


    She was startled and suddenly thought of something, turning to Qing. "Qing, go and see what they have in the kitchen, prepare a small portion for Lord Huai."


    Having said this…


    Gu Chaoyan thought for a while and liked her idea, nodding. "Yes, that should be a good idea."


    Qingughed.


    She had thought that Lord Huai and Elder Miss had had a fight after the visit to the court, for her to behave like that, but it seemed that she did not need to be worried.


    Qing chuckled and said, "Elder Miss, I understand. I will send the food to Lord Huai personally and tell him that it was your order."


    Having said that, she left with a smile.


    Gu Chaoyan did not think that was a good idea, but before she could catch Qing, she was already gone.


    She sighed and dropped the idea.


    Sword One chuckled behind Gu Chaoyan''s back as they went into the bathroom.


    Elder Miss liked silence and never had many people serving her. So it was always she and Qing who divided the work between themselves. They had the warm water prepared a while ago, ever since Elder Miss came to Xinzhou. They had thought that Elder Miss would want to take a bath.


    Sword One helped her to remove her clothes, as Gu Chaoyan walked into the bathroom.


    "Elder Miss, did you feel hot today, your underwear is wet!" Sword One eximed in surprise. It was quite cold nowadays, so what made Elder Miss sweat? She had always been afraid of the cold.
