Zhou Mu looked at Gu Xiyan steadily, which made Gu Xiyan feel a little guilty.
She is obviously right, why should she feel guilty?
"Young master, because you are falling..." Gu Xiyan suddenly stopped talking.
She wanted to say that Zhou Mu had no idea about male and female defense because he grew up in Fallen Immortal Temple.
Fortunately, she reacted in time, otherwise she would have exposed the secret and exposed the secret that he grew up in the Fallen Immortal Temple.
"It's not possible anyway. Didn't the young master tell me to get married as soon as possible? I can't ruin my reputation." Gu Xiyan defended herself.
Zhou Muzhe looked back at Xi Yan and held her hand without her being prepared.
Gu Xiyan's eyes widened, she couldn't believe that Zhou Mu would do such a rude thing to her.
"We were very close when we first met, weren't we?" Zhou Mu looked calm on the outside, but in fact he was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
He wanted to say that in fact, her innocence had been destroyed by him a long time ago. Last time she was drugged and they kissed on the carriage, but she didn't remember anything.
How could he say such a thing?
"That, that was an accident and cannot be compared." Gu Xiyan's pretty face was stained with a red cloud, and she did not dare to recall the embarrassing situation that happened in the wooden cabinet when they first met.
If possible, she would never remember it for the rest of her life.
"Even if it was an accident, it happened before. Miss Gu, have you ever..." Facing Gu Xiyan's face, all Zhou Mu's words were stuck in his throat.
He wanted to ask her if she regarded him as a man, and if she liked him at all, the way a woman likes a man.
When the words came to his lips, he just couldn't ask.
"Young master, if you have anything to say, you might as well ask directly." Gu Xiyan saw Zhou Mu struggling and felt worried for him.
She took the opportunity to withdraw her hand.
Zhou Mu turned around in frustration and turned his back to Gu Xiyan. It took him a while to calm down: "Is there anyone you want to get in touch with recently?"
Gu Xiyan was worried about how to meet Xu Yanqing again. This letter was sent back and forth, but Liu Junyan intercepted it. It would be better to facilitate this through Zhou Mu.
"Yes, I think Mr. Xu is a good candidate." Gu Xiyan replied briskly.
Zhou Mu's heart tightened, and he turned back to look at Gu Xiyan, and met her smiling eyes. The smile in her eyes could not be hidden, did she actually like Xu Yanqing?
Gu Xiyan's smile froze on her lips. Zhou Mu looked at her with something wrong, sharp as a knife. It was the first time she saw such a sharp expression on his face.
"What's the matter? Is Mr. Xu bad?" Gu Xiyan asked cautiously.
Zhou Mu took a deep breath and suppressed the jealousy in his heart. At this moment, he just wanted to kill Xu Yanqing.
"What's good about Xu San? He's not clear with Miss Liu San, and he's brought so much trouble to her. What's good about him?" Zhou Mu's voice came out from between his teeth.
Isn't it because of this that Gu Xiyan excluded Xu Yanqing in the first place? How could this woman say one thing and do another?
Since she wants to push Xu Yanqing further away, she should push Xu Yanqing as far away as possible.
Gu Xiyan's expression was a bit awkward, and she weakly defended Xu Yanqing: "It can't be explained clearly. It's the third sister who is shouldering the burden, but Mr. Xu has no such intention towards the third sister..."
"Have you forgotten Miss Liu Er? At first, King Qin was the girl's fiancé. At first, King Qin didn't take Miss Liu Er seriously, but later he pried King Qin away from the girl? Does the girl remember to eat and not to fight?
!" Zhou Mu spoke faster and faster.
Gu Xiyan felt depressed after hearing this.
This was her sore spot, but Zhou Mu poked her there.
"But Mr. Xu is not a person like King Qin. I believe in Mr. Xu's character..."
Zhou Mu suddenly increased his volume: "Xu San can't do it!!"
Gu Xiyan was startled. She had never seen Zhou Mu in such an emotional state, which overturned her understanding of Zhou Mu.
Zhou Mu also noticed his gaffe. He took a deep breath, grabbed Gu Xiyan's hand, and dragged her to him: "I said, Xu San can't do it, do you hear me?"
Gu Xiyan looked straight at Zhou Mu, her clear almond eyes full of confusion: "Why can't you, Mr. Xu? I don't agree with the reason Mr. Xu just said."
Zhou Mu couldn't answer for a while.
Just because he secretly doesn't want her to marry another man. It's not that Xu Yanqing can't do it, but that men other than him can't do it.
When he was twenty years old, he had never wanted something or a person so much. She was the only desire he wanted to have.
He couldn't watch her fall into the arms of other men.
"I think Mr. Xu is quite good. He was a little frivolous at first, but later he explained it clearly to me. Even if I regard him as a candidate, he has no complaints. In terms of family background, all the nobles in the capital have no complaints.
Among the young men, he is the best. He is now the head of the Household Department. He is still young and has a bright future. Speaking of the back house, he has not yet had any concubines and has never spread rumors with women. Speaking of which, it is me.
"My reputation is bad because I am not worthy of Mr. Xu. He is so good, so why should I, a down-and-out noble lady, be the one to choose him?" Gu Xiyan refuted each of them logically.
It is obvious that she is not worthy of Xu Yanqing, it is obvious that she wants to push Xu Yanqing away, and she wants to associate with Xu Yanqing when she wants to get married. She is the willful and selfish person.
Seeing Gu Xiyan protecting another man like this, Zhou Mu felt extremely complicated: "In the eyes of girls, is Xu San so good?"
So good that you can’t fault it?
Gu Xiyan was about to reply that it was indeed good, but as soon as she raised her head, she saw Zhou Mu's eyes that were so cold that they could freeze people. For a moment, all the words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them out.
She avoided Zhou Mu's cold eyes, feeling that Zhou Mu's mood today was not quite right.
Did Xu Yanqing do something to offend Zhou Mu?
But Zhou Mu has no selfish desires. Zhou Mu should value and like people like Xu Yanqing.
With doubts in her mind, she hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Did Mr. Xu offend Mr. Xu?"
Zhou Mu was holding a fire in his heart and did not want to talk to Gu Xiyan.
Gu Xiyan saw Zhou Mu's thin lips pursed into a straight line and her jawline tightened, so she knew that Zhou Mu was angry.
Zhou Mu rarely has mood swings, so his expression is obvious when he is angry.
"Young Master, are you angry with me?" Gu Xiyan was a little frightened: "I didn't mean it. If I say or do something wrong, please don't hold it against me."
Zhou Mu wondered what was wrong with her?
It was obviously him who pushed Xu Yanqing to her, and he was the one who fell in love with her. She didn't even know what he was thinking about her.
"The girl did nothing wrong, it was my fault. But I still said that Xu Yanqing is not suitable for the girl."
Zhou Mu secretly thought that it would be useless even if Xu Yanqing and Gu Xiyan were compatible, he would not allow them to be together.
It was also at this time that he realized that he possessed all the greed and weaknesses of human nature, and it was Gu Xiyan who brought out the worst and darkest side in him.
