"Girl, the young master is quite good." Min'er lowered her eyes and replied, not daring to look at Gu Xiyan.
She received the news from Qi Zhiyuan that the young master seemed to be unwilling to see Miss Gu recently. He was in a state of despair every day and didn't know what big thing had happened.
She did not dare to come to Xiyuan because the young master did not want to see Miss Gu, which made her feel that she had become a heartless person and could not live up to Miss Gu.
Gu Xiyan was always a sensitive person, and Min'er's eyes dodged after she came in, not daring to look at her. She could see this detail.
In addition, Min'er had not come to Xiyuan to look for her in the past few days, so she guessed that something had happened that prevented Min'er from coming.
"Young Master has made an appointment with me for a trip today. I'm going to see if Young Master is ready." Gu Xiyan remained calm and stopped wasting time on Min'er.
Min'er opened her mouth, wanting to say that the young master doesn't want to see the girl, but can she say this?
Gu Xiyan had been observing Min'er's expression, and she could see the way Min'er hesitated to speak.
She had doubts in her mind and decided to go see Zhou Mu in person and ask questions face to face.
After leaving the Hou Mansion, she went to the door of Zhou's house and found that the door was closed. Not only that, the door was also locked, which meant that Zhou Mu was not at home.
Today is the first time she and him have met for an outing, but he is not at home. Has he already gone out?
She quickly dismissed the possibility.
How could someone as thoughtful and considerate as Zhou Mu not tell her the time and place of the appointment before going out?
The only possibility is that he went out temporarily for something. Or maybe he was avoiding her on purpose.
Thinking that Min'er hadn't been to Xiyuan in the past few days, and Min'er's evasive look just now, she felt that the latter was more likely.
When Hu Die saw the door of Zhou's house locked, she was dumbfounded: "Didn't we make an appointment to go on a trip today? Mr. Zhou, this is too unreliable."
Qiushi noticed immediately that her girl's expression was not right, so she smoothed things over and said, "Maybe the young master has something to do at the moment, so he can't go?"
Hu Die was an outspoken person, so she sneered: "Even if Mr. Zhou has something to do and can't get away, can't he say hello to Xi Yan in advance? And it's right next door. If he wants to, he can just send someone to pass the message..."
At this point, she finally realized something was wrong.
She carefully looked at Gu Xiyan's expression, touched her nose, and softened her tone: "Maybe Mr. Zhou has something urgent at the moment. Xiyan, why don't we go back to Xiyuan and wait -"
"I'll wait here." Gu Xiyan's expression was cold and her pretty face was tense.
No matter what happened or their marriage changed, she didn't care, but she needed Zhou Mu to tell her personally.
"But the sun is too bright today..."
As soon as Hu Die opened her mouth, she was kicked by Qiushi.
Qiushi pointed to the sky. Hu Die looked over and saw that the weather was gloomy. Where did the sun come from?
"What I mean is that the wind is too strong today. If you stand here to blow the wind, you may catch the cold." Hu Die quickly changed her words.
"It's okay, I'm wearing thick clothes today. Xiaodie, you go back first, I'll wait here for the young master to come back." Gu Xiyan was stubborn.
"Yes, but I think it's going to rain. How about we go back first?" Hu Die winked at Qiushi.
Qiushi understood and agreed: "Yes, Miss Hu is right. Miss Hu will go back first, and I will wait here. If the young master comes back, would you like to report to the girl as soon as possible?"
Gu Xiyan glanced at Qiushi, her expression extremely firm: "Don't try to persuade me anymore, I just want to wait for him here."
She didn't care at all about Zhou Xing's coming and going, but Zhou Mu couldn't do that. He couldn't provoke her and then try to get away. If he didn't give her an explanation, she would never be done with him!
Hu Die and Qiushi had no choice but to accompany her together.
In fact, Zhou Mu was in the house, across the door from Gu Xiyan, and he heard the conversation between Gu Xiyan and Hu Die.
He didn't know how to face Gu Xiyan, and reason told him to let go of Gu Xiyan. But he knew that once he let go of Gu Xiyan, he would really lose her completely.
After Zhou Xing canceled her marriage, she hated Zhou Xing deeply and felt nauseated when she saw Zhou Xing. He didn't want to become the same person as Zhou Xing.
So he chose to escape.
But what's the use of escaping? Sooner or later he will have a showdown with this girl.
Qi Zhiyuan locked the door of his house. It was Zhou Mu's order to lock it early in the morning, in order to keep Gu Xiyan out.
Qi Zhiyuan looked at Grandma Yin for help, and Grandma Yin shook her head at him.
Although they didn't know what happened, they could see how painful the young master was in the past few days. The young master had not been able to sleep well in the past few days, and he looked very haggard.
It is clear that the young master likes Miss Gu so much. He was very happy to travel with Miss Gu before, but now he rejects Miss Gu.
After an hour of confrontation between Zhou Mu inside the door and Gu Xiyan outside the door, Zhou Mu was defeated.
He told Qi Zhiyuan to send someone to tell Gu Xiyan that he was out of town. Because he was in a hurry, he didn't have time to tell her.
Qi Zhiyuan did not dare to disobey the order, so he sent a secret guard out of the secret room.
Gu Xiyan waited quietly outside Zhou's house. After waiting for an hour, a man in black clothes came over and said to her: "Master Zhou has something urgent to do and he has left the city. He didn't have time to explain to Miss Gu.
Come down and tell Miss Gu that the young master cannot accompany the girl out today. The young master also said that he will apologize to the girl another day."
Hu Die breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I just said that Mr. Zhou doesn't seem like someone who has no explanation. It turns out that he left the city."
Qiushi also echoed.
Gu Xiyan turned back and glanced at the Zhou family's door, then lowered her eyebrows and said, "I understand."
After returning to Xiyuan, Hu Die found that Gu Xiyan still looked unhappy.
"Didn't Mr. Zhou send someone to pass the message? I have something urgent to do out of the city and I didn't have time to report to you..."
"I know him. He has a big emergency, and he won't leave like this. For him, it's not a big deal." Gu Xiyan lowered her eyebrows.
She trusted her instincts, it was Zhou Mu who was deliberately avoiding her this time.
Maybe he wanted to deliberately give her a cold shoulder and make her retreat? Later, for some unknown reason, he sent someone to send a message to her, asking her not to wait for him.
"Xi Yan, don't think too much. We all think Mr. Zhou likes you very much. The way he looks at you is so different, how could he deliberately avoid you?" Hu Die was worried that Gu Xiyan was taking advantage of others.
Gu Xiyan smiled: "I also hope that I have overthinked it. But I am not very lucky. Even if something happens again, or Zhou Mu cancels my marriage, I will not be surprised."
Hu Die's eyes heated up, "What are you talking about? Mr. Zhou is not His Royal Highness the King of Qin. How could he cancel your marriage? He was so anxious to marry you that he shortened the marriage negotiation process. There is no way he would do what you said.
