1488 Different Chaoyan 2
Chaoyan used to be chubby and ugly, ignored by all the men. She was not strikingly beautiful at the moment, but she was slender, fair in skin and had a wonderful air about herself. She looked distant from all strangers, and she was pure in body. She had a very scary birthmark on her nose, but that was nothing compared to what she had in other areas.
Moreover, she was the Phoenix Girl. Which was an outstanding merit.
She could be his future Crown Prince Consort. And even Junyi believed that she was better than Gu Ruxue. So what more would he ask anyway.
Zhou Huailing had been thinking a lot since Gu Chaoyan came to the hall and sat down.
When she was seated, he smiled brightly and turned to Gu Chaoyan. “It is okay that I drop by Gu Mansion all of a sudden, isn’t it? But my father needed to speak with me in the court, so I left the court just now, and I headed directly to you. Sorry for the disturbance, Lady Chaoyan.”
Zhou Huailing smiled brightly and spoke in a very gentle voice, telling Gu Chaoyan that he was still the King’s favorite son so he could get closer to Gu Chaoyan in this way.
Within a short while, Zhou Huailing seemed to have changed himself completely.
He seemed to have included her in his own family, but Gu Chaoyan did not care about any of these. She spoke coldly, ignoring Zhou Huailing’s speech. “What do you want, Crown Prince?”
She seemed as if she were talking business with someone, which made Zhou Huailing feel slightly embarrassed.
He had lowered himself in front of Gu Chaoyan, and had thought that Gu Chaoyan would feel grateful to see his change, but she was still acting so coldly.
Zhou Huailing was very displeased, but he was reminded of Gu Chaoyan’s engagement with his Eighth Brother, so it might take a while before she agreed to break off the engagement and marry him.
So he pressed down his anger and still said with a smile. “Nothing important, just…”
Gu Chaoyan frowned and cut in, before he could say another word. “Nothing important… then why was I asked to be here?”
Having said that, she heard the sound of footsteps before Zhou Huailing could give an explanation. It was Gu Ruxue who had rushed in. She was dressed in red and her hair was unkempt. She had not changed before she came.
Gu Chaoyan quieted down upon seeing Gu Ruxue here.
Gu Ruxue’s face changed when she saw Gu Chaoyan in the hall.
What was Gu Chaoyan doing here?
The Crown Prince was here to see her, not Gu Chaoyan, but she was even faster and came to the Crown Prince sooner than she did!
She had been waiting in the Gu Mansion for the Crown Prince to bring her home. So she was extremely happy to hear that he was finally here, but…
Gu Ruxue was reminded of the misery she had been through these days, so she pointed at Gu Chaoyan and shouted furiously, “What are you doing here?”
