Qi Zhiyuan thought Zhou Mu was asleep, but the young master suddenly appeared and asked him to play chess with him.
He knows that the young master's chess skills are unfathomable. Wouldn't he be humiliating himself by playing against the young master?
"Master, why don't you play chess with Miss Gu tomorrow? I really..." Qi Zhiyuan wanted to make a death struggle, but under Zhou Mu's gaze, he had no choice but to shut up.
Well, being abused by the young master is also his blessing.
When the first game was over, Zhou Mu glanced at Qi Zhiyuan: "Why are you so much worse than Miss Gu?"
Qi Zhiyuan remained silent.
Not only did he have to be beaten in the chess game by the young master, but he also had to be verbally humiliated by the young master.
"What, you're still not convinced?" Zhou Mu was in a good mood.
On the other hand, Qi Zhiyuan's mood was not so good: "My subordinate is stupid, so I am not dissatisfied. It's Miss Gu who is too smart. I can't even compare to one of Miss Gu's fingers."
"You don't have any good qualities, but you are self-aware." A smile flashed in Zhou Mu's eyes, and the corners of his lips raised slightly.
Qi Zhiyuan clearly caught his young master's beautiful smile, and immediately shed tears of gratitude: "Young Master said that my subordinates still have merits."
Of course Miss Gu is amazing, she can actually make the young master laugh. He doesn't know how long it has been since he saw the young master's smile.
"Okay, you can make arrangements." Zhou Mu let poor Qi Zhiyuan go.
"I can still play chess with you, I'm not sleepy at all!" Qi Zhiyuan said with great interest.
"I have to be on duty tomorrow. Don't worry, I'm tired." Zhou Mu packed up the chessboard.
Qi Zhiyuan did not dare to object any more. He left the young master's dormitory, closed the door, and rested in the next room.
As for Zhou Mu, he was still thinking about Gu Xiyan after falling on the bed. After thinking about it, he finally felt sleepy and fell into a groggy dream.
That night, Gu Xiyan ran into his dream again. She walked towards him with a gentle smile, hooked her arms around his neck, and confessed to him shyly: "Young Master, I love you..."
When he got up the next day, Zhou Mu raised the corners of his lips, still recalling this sweet dream.
Qi Zhiyuan helped Zhou Mu wash up and clearly saw the smile in his master's eyes.
"What makes the young master so happy?" Qi Zhiyuan was curious to death.
Zhou Mu stopped smiling in an instant and said calmly: "Do I need to report my matter to you?"
Qi Zhiyuan shook his head and replied: "Of course not."
But he was just curious.
The young master couldn't sleep last night. When he woke up, his mood became so good. Could it be that Miss Gu got into the young master's dream?
When Zhou Mu went out, he subconsciously looked at the Hou Mansion next door. He knew that Gu Xiyan would not show up at this hour, but he couldn't help but look forward to it.
Qi Zhiyuan saw through the young master's thoughts and suggested: "Why don't you wait until the young master is ready to play chess before inviting the girl to come over and play chess with the young master."
This will relieve the young master's pain of missing Miss Gu.
"It's not good for a girl who has not yet left the court to always come to see my foreign husband." Although Zhou Mu said this, he was thinking that if he could really meet Gu Xiyan, he would have hope for the day.
Qi Zhiyuan did not dare to come up with any more random ideas and shut his mouth wisely.
Gu Xiyan also got up early in the morning. She first went to Zaohui Hall to say hello, and then returned to Xiyuan. She wrote a letter to Xu Zhener and asked Qiushi to give it to Luo Bin to deliver the letter.
Xu Zhener was very happy when she received Gu Xiyan's letter, but her face fell when she saw the content.
Fortunately, both she and the third brother thought they could invite Gu Xiyan, but they were rejected by Gu Xiyan.
When Xu Yanqing returned home for lunch at noon, Xu Zhener told him about the incident.
Xu Yanqing was originally looking forward to tomorrow, but after seeing the letter Xu Zhener handed him, he frowned: "Miss Gu is cruel, she refused because she didn't want to have any more interactions with me.
"
Xu Zhen'er didn't know how to comfort Xu Yanqing, so she just sighed softly: "How about we forget it, third brother?"
Why should a good man be without a wife? The third brother is so good, there are so many noble girls who want to marry the third brother, why should he worry about someone who doesn't like him?
Xu Yanqing let out a breath, "I only have myself to blame for falling in love with her too late."
Xu Zhener was also a little depressed: "Blame me, blame me. If I hadn't said those words that time, Third Brother wouldn't have been hesitant. Sister Gu had happily agreed to make an appointment with Third Brother, but it was I who said those words that made her
The third brother hesitated and was noticed by Sister Gu, which led to this situation."
Xu Yanqing touched her head: "I'm not determined enough, I don't blame you. It's just that I don't want to give up like this. It's not easy to meet a woman who makes my heart beat. If I miss her, I'm afraid I won't meet the next one in my life."

He didn't want to lose without a fight. Since Gu Xiyan didn't want to come to Qi'an Bo's Mansion, he would go to Wanqing Hou's Mansion.
Recently, I heard that Rong Song stayed outside the Su Mansion every day just to see Su Mei. This matter spread throughout the capital.
It is said that Rong Song was so fascinated by Su Mei that he would not marry anyone other than Su Mei.
People in the capital were spreading the news everywhere, and many people were curious about what kind of beauty the Su girl had to be able to charm a stunning man like Rong Song.
He was wondering whether to imitate Rong Song, and he also stayed outside the Hou Mansion every day to let the world know that he had to be Gu Xiyan.
However, he was also afraid of damaging Gu Xiyan's reputation. Gu Xiyan had just been divorced by His Highness the King of Qin. If he acted in such a flamboyant manner, Gu Xiyan's reputation might be completely ruined by him.
He didn't want to force Gu Xiyan to be with him, but he didn't know what method to use.
"Third brother, aren't you and Mr. Zhou both on duty at the Household Department? Why don't you help me?"
Xu Yanqing was stunned for a moment, Zhou Mu?
He suddenly thought of a good idea. Zhou Mu lives next door to the Hou Mansion, why not take the opportunity to make friends with Zhou Mu, and get the moon first if you are closer to the water tower?
"Master Zhou is not easy to get close to. I think it's better not to take any chances on him." As soon as Xu Yanqing finished speaking, he was stunned.
Yes, he can get close to Zhou Mu.
But if Zhou Mu doesn't let him get close, what should we do?
How about he shamelessly pester Zhou Mu and stay at Zhou Mu's house at night?
"Third brother, please help me. I won't give up until I try." Xu Zhener pulled Xu Yanqing's sleeves and acted coquettishly.
Xu Yanqing pulled back his sleeve: "Then I'll try my best, but the result is unknown, so don't have high expectations."
Then he can use Zhen'er as an excuse, so that he has a reason to approach Zhou Mu.
Xu Zhener's eyes lit up: "Seriously?"
"Since I promised you, I will naturally try my best. But the result is unknown. I have to get close to Mr. Zhou first. For your happiness, I will go to Mr. Zhou this afternoon to establish friendship. Do we have any gifts?
To give away an elegant treasure, for a person like Mr. Zhou, I think I need the best to give it away." Xu Yanqing said in a high-sounding tone.
Xu Zhener believed what he said, "I'll go to my father to ask for it. Third brother, please wait a moment."
