He looked like an angel in the sunlight.
Mu Zhihuan felt as though she was about to cry from being touched. Look at her! Handsome, rich and powerful! And so meticulous.
If it was in the modern world, he would be the domineering CEO!
"Why?"
Noticing Mu Zhihuan's burning gaze, Gu Mingxuan asked doubtfully, "Aren't you guys hungry?"
Mu Zhihuan quickly waved her hand, "No, no, no, no! I'm just a little touched. Thank you for saving my life. "
Seeing Mu Zhihuan's serious expression, Gu Mingxuan slightly raised his brows, "Let's go, the food should be cold by now."
When he saw the table full of delicacies, even Qing He, who had always restrained himself from being rude in front of his master, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Mu Zhihuan found a spot to sit down and began to wolf down the food and drink to her heart's content. The wonderful feeling of eating chicken, duck, and fish meat was simply irresistible.
After a hearty meal, Mu Zhihuan slumped onto a chair and burped in contentment.
Awesome!
"Drink some tea and try to get used to it."
A cold voice sounded from the side, and a cup of hot tea was casually handed over.
Mu Zhihuan chuckled. She cast a sidelong glance at Gu Mingxuan and said, "Truly virtuous and virtuous. Whoever marries you will surely die of beauty."
Gu Mingxuan retracted her gaze, a complicated look flashing across her eyes. "Zhihuan, you're flattering me. If I'm really that good, then why would I leave her?"
Mu Zhihuan felt a little embarrassed when she saw that she had mentioned someone else's sad thoughts.
She scratched her head. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to tear off your scar."
Gu Mingxuan waved his hand, "No worries, I know you're a straightforward person."
Since they had already spoken up to this point, Mu Zhihuan became a little curious. "Speaking of which, why hasn't the marriage of the Great Yin Prince been announced to the world? There's actually no news about our Great Wei."
The fact that he had a wife and children was too much of a shock to Mu Zhihuan.
Gu Mingxuan didn't expect Mu Zhihuan to ask him more directly. Helplessly, he pursed his lips and said, "We're not married. It's just that some things happened after our fortuitous encounters, and she left by herself."
For some reason, as Mu Zhihuan looked at Gu Mingxuan like this, an inexplicable feeling rose in her heart.
He patted Gu Mingxuan's shoulder and comforted him, "It's alright, I'll definitely find it!"
"Then I'll be counting on your blessings." Gu Mingxuan cast a sidelong glance at the hand on his shoulder. The place where his slender finger landed was as numb as a feather.
After another torrential storm of work, it was finally the time for the shop to close. There were a few young girls who were reluctant to leave after a long time.
After ensuring that she could open the door on time tomorrow, Mu Zhihuan tiredly closed the door.
If she had known that this show would be so effective, she would have hired a few more people to help.
Qing He couldn't help but find it funny when he saw Mu Zhihuan's immobile appearance.
This wangfei was really different from an ordinary master. She did not have any airs of arrogance, and she did many things herself:
"Master, leave this to us. Go back and rest."
Although Mu Zhihuan wanted to help out a little longer, she was too tired. She could only support herself on the table and nod her head tiredly, "That's fine. I'll be going first then."
Just as she opened the side door, Mu Zhihuan unexpectedly saw Gu Mingxuan. She asked doubtfully, "You haven't left yet?"
"Naturally, I'm waiting for you."
Under the moonlight, Gu Mingxuan's white clothes flapped under the night breeze, and his black hair flew along with the wind. His cold face was covered by a layer of cold moonlight, making him seem even colder than before.
Seeing how much of a gentleman she was, she knew it wasn't safe for a girl to be late to go home alone, and even took the initiative to send herself off.
Mu Zhihuan's eyes shone brightly. "Thank you for returning Qing He to me while I was so busy."
Noticing Mu Zhihuan's strange expression, Gu Mingxuan smirked. "Qinghe is yours to begin with. Why would I return it to you?"
"Anyways, thank you. I even joked that if someone brought food to us, I would marry Qing He and Wu Miao to him. Who would've thought that you would come right after I said that?"
Laughing mischievously, Mu Zhihuan walked over to Gu Mingxuan's side and nudged him with her shoulder. "How is it? Have you taken a fancy to it? "I can help you pull the line for the media ~"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Zhihuan suddenly shivered. She looked at Gu Mingxuan, who was still fine a moment ago, and her expression immediately changed.
"Let's go, I'll send you back to your residence."
After he finished speaking, Gu Mingxuan was the first to board the carriage.
"Wait for me, come to the capital, and send me on my way."
Mu Zhihuan stared blankly for a moment before quickly climbing onto the carriage. As soon as she sat down, she could feel the chilly atmosphere within the carriage.
Mu Zhihuan rubbed her nose and apologetically said to Gu Mingxuan, "Alright, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't give you another woman even when I know that you only have your wife in your heart. I was just joking. Don't be angry ~ It's my kindness and revenge."
Gu Mingxuan withdrew his face and sighed in an indiscernible manner, "I don't blame you. I don't know if it's good or bad for you to be so straightforward."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'm just casually saying it in front of you. In front of others, my mouth is tightly shut."
Knowing that he was worried about her, Mu Zhihuan narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"After I finish these few days, I'll bring Ran Er here to play with you. It's been a long time since we've last met, so this little guy misses you."
"Alright."
Gu Mingxuan had always spoken very little, but Mu Zhihuan felt that staying with him was unexpectedly very comfortable.
Just like how he had been friends for so many years, he did not need to bother finding a topic or purposely trying to curry favor with them.
"Zhihuan, do you still remember General Mu's incident back then?"
General Mu? Mu Zhihuan reacted for a second before realizing who it was. "I … "I don't remember. To be honest, I only have this month's memories. I don't remember anything else."
"I can't remember …" "Sure."
Gu Mingxuan's eyes narrowed, and he tossed out a sentence that had no meaning to it. This caused Mu Zhihuan to be confused.
"Do you know what happened that year?"
Gu Mingxuan was the crown prince of Great Yan Dynasty, so how could he know about General Wei?
"I've heard that General Mu and I have met several times at the border and fought. General Mu is a righteous man and does not seem like he would embezzle."
"So you're saying that there's something fishy about our general's estate?"
Mu Zhihuan was not a fool. Since Gu Mingxuan had purposely mentioned this, then he must know something.
"General Mu is not someone I can judge easily. Be careful with everything you do. If you encounter any trouble and I am able to help you, please remember to tell me. It can be considered as repaying General Mu's favor."
