Chapter 168 She was almost suffocated to death by him
At this time, Mother Shen came over and answered, "Did you go somewhere to play with Miss Su Er?"
Chunhua received Shen's mother's look and immediately retreated behind Shen's mother.
When Nanny Yin saw this, she knew that she couldn't get anything out of the question, so she had to give up.
That night, Gu Xiyan was so busy that she couldn't go home, so she was escorted by Hu Die back to the Hou Mansion. Because it was too late, she asked Hu Die to stay at the Hou Mansion tonight, and Hu Die agreed.
When entering the Hou Mansion, the concierge had a strange expression when he saw her, as if he had something to say. But because it was too late, she was afraid that Shen's mother and Chunhua would worry, so she hurried to Xiyuan.
As soon as she entered Xiyuan, she felt something was wrong.
There was a tall man standing in the courtyard. He was as tall and tall as a pine tree, standing with his hands behind his back.
As if sensing her gaze, the man with his back turned to look at her. Under the dim light, his eyes were darker than tonight's night...
Many thoughts flashed through her mind at this moment, until Shen's mother stood behind Zhou Mu and winked at her. She quickly returned to normal and asked nonchalantly: "Why are you here, Master?"
Zhou Mu said nothing and just looked at Gu Xiyan quietly.
Thanks to Gu Xiyan's good mental quality, her legs were not weak.
"Young master has been waiting for the girl for an hour. He hasn't had dinner yet. He insists on waiting for the girl to have dinner with her." Mother Shen stepped forward to break the deathly silence.
Gu Xiyan groaned secretly.
She didn't know that Zhou Mu would come over. If she had known that he would come, she would have rushed back no matter how busy she was.
"Young master must be hungry, shall we eat first?" Gu Xiyan felt that she was wrong, her eyes were evasive, and she did not dare to look at Zhou Mu.
Zhou Mu looked straight at Gu Xiyan and still said nothing.
Gu Xiyan was most afraid that he would not speak, so she could only liven up the atmosphere with a dry smile: "Are the dishes cold? Mom, go and heat up the dishes."
Mother Shen quickly agreed and brought the dishes back to the small kitchen.
Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Hu Die and the others stayed away from Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu.
Aunt Yin was afraid that the two of them would quarrel, so she smoothed things over and said, "Young master, if you have something to say, tell the girl. The girl must be tired when she comes home so late. She must sit down for a while."
Gu Xiyan thought to herself that Zhou Mu looked like this, and she didn't dare to sit down.
"Everyone, stand down." Zhou Mu gave the order lukewarmly.
Nanny Yin and Qi Zhiyuan ran the fastest. Hu Die, who was hiding not far away and was peeping, did not dare to look any further and hid back in the hall.
Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan were the only two people left in the courtyard. Gu Xiyan was a little nervous facing Zhou Mu alone. She wanted to say sorry for making him wait for her for an hour in vain.
"After I got off duty, I heard that you went to Su's house, so I waited for you there for an hour. Later, when I asked, I found out that you had never gone to Su's house, so I came to Hou's house to wait for you, and waited for you for another hour." Zhou.
Mu's voice was faint, and no emotion could be heard.
Gu Xiyan lowered her head, "It's my fault that I let you go all the way in vain. Don't be angry, master."
"Do you know why I'm angry?" Zhou Mu asked.
Gu Xiyan must have been angry because he caught her lying and made him wait for so long?
"Should I lie?" Gu Xiyan asked cautiously.
Zhou Mu looked at her steadily, his eyes far away.
Gu Xiyan immediately understood that she had guessed wrong: "I shouldn't have returned home too late and made the young master wait for so long?"
Zhou Mu's eyes became complicated, and he said helplessly to Gu Xiyan: "I'm worried about your safety. Please tell me, who did you go to see today? Is it a man or a woman?"
Gu Xiyan suddenly realized: "I didn't go to meet someone alone. I was a little late today because I had something to do. I wouldn't normally. It was just a coincidence that I was bumped into by the young master."
Zhou Mu suddenly realized that he didn't know this girl very well. What kind of lady would go out all day and not come back until midnight?
Zhiyuan once said that there were many unexplainable coincidences in Gu Xiyan. Of course he knew that, but he was very sure that this girl had no ill intentions towards him, so he let her go.
Only this girl's temperament was different from what he thought. She was not that docile, and she was very independent.
"Don't worry, sir, I will be fine with Xiaodie protecting me." Gu Xiyan just wanted to change the subject: "I'm hungry, can we have dinner first?"
Zhou Mu didn't answer, so she grabbed his sleeve and shook it, murmuring softly: "Young Master, that's all right. Let's have dinner first. I'm really hungry."
Zhou Mu's eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly felt powerless.
He knew clearly that this was her beauty trap, but he still fell in love with her. Judging from her attitude, she didn't intend to tell him where she had gone.
He turned to hold her soft little hand and said, "Well, let's go have a meal."
No matter how angry you are, you can't starve her, right? Since she doesn't want to say it, then she won't say it. When she completely trusts him, she will naturally say it.
Gu Xiyan was actually not that hungry. After all, she had eaten a lot of snacks today. But Zhou Mu must be hungry by now after waiting for her. She was worried about his stomach.
During the meal, Zhou Mu stubbornly held her hand and refused to let go. She struggled several times to no avail, and finally had no choice but to accept her fate and be held by him.
After dinner, it was getting late and it was not easy to stay too long in the evening.
Gu Xiyan walked him to the gate of Xiyuan, and Zhou Mu stared at him and stopped moving.
"Young master, please go back and arrange things early." Gu Xiyan tried to drive them away.
Zhou Mu looked at her steadily for a while, then suddenly stepped forward and hugged her into his arms: "No matter what you do in the future, you must take care of your own safety first. If it doesn't work, I will give you Min'er."
…”
"No! Min'er belongs to the young master, and I will not take away the young master's favor." Gu Xiyan muttered in Zhou Mu's arms.
Zhou Mu suddenly increased his strength, almost suffocating her to death, and her face turned red.
She struggled in Zhou Mu's arms, and Zhou Mu finally let her go for a while, allowing her to breathe freely.
"Such a thing happened today. For your safety, I could have arranged for secret guards to protect you, but I knew you were unwilling, so I gave up." Zhou Mu opened his lips calmly.
Gu Xiyan laughed dryly: "Young master will not send someone to monitor me."
Even though she said this, her palms were filled with tears, and she was really afraid that he would send someone to watch her every move.
Zhou Mu saw through Gu Xiyan's worries at a glance: "I don't want to control you, I'm just worried about your safety. That's all, if you don't want to, I won't force you, but the premise is that you have to protect yourself and don't let me worry.
"
"Yes, yes, whatever the young master says is right." Gu Xiyan responded hurriedly.
Zhou Mu's dark eyes as thick as ink looked at Gu Xiyan, making Gu Xiyan feel guilty.
She accompanied her with a smile: "Master, walk slowly."
Zhou Mu couldn't help but pinch her smooth and tender face, turned around and walked away.
He was worried that if he didn't leave, she might drive him away with a broom.
When Qi Zhiyuan turned around, he could no longer see Gu Xiyan, so he whispered: "Sir, I just said there is something wrong with Miss Gu."
He left home early in the morning and didn't return home until this hour. There was no problem with him writing upside down.
Zhou Mu glanced at him lightly, "Then tell me what's wrong with her?"
