Chi Ge's house was not far from Jinyu Pavilion, and soon a maid brought the silver and delivered it to Chi Zao.
Chi Zao felt a little regretful at this time.
This is 50,000 taels. It is outrageous to spend 50,000 taels to buy a step-shake. Let my mother know that she spent so much money just to buy a step-shake. I wonder if it will break her legs.
Gu Xiyan was not in a hurry to leave Jinyu Pavilion because she was afraid that Chi Zao would regret it after the passionate bidding. Seeing Chi Zao's hesitation now, she knew that she had guessed right.
"Miss Chi, are you going to give me the Bu Yao?" Gu Xiyan said in a cool tone: "That's right, it's normal for Miss Chi to be reluctant, but she just can't afford a Bu Yao. Miss Chi, this
Nothing to be ashamed of."
"Who, who said I can't afford it?" Chi Zao felt that Gu Xiyan was very noisy.
"Xiyan, this step can really complement your beautiful face." Zhou Mu said and said to shopkeeper Yan: "Shopkeeper, please give this step to Xiyan. Only our Xiyan in the whole capital can match it.
Get on this luxurious step..."
"Why? This is the Buyao I bought!!" Chi Zao said angrily.
She delivered the banknote to Shopkeeper Yan, grabbed the well-packaged jewelry box, and held it tightly in her arms.
Shopkeeper Yan's heart was beating fast. She never expected that with just a few words from Gu Xiyan and Mr. Zhou, Jinyu Pavilion would earn fifty thousand taels a day. This was something she had never dared to think about before.
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Zhou Mu said to Gu Xiyan: "That walking stick is very tacky and not worthy of you. I will buy you a better one another day."
Chi Zao:......
Who are these people? Just one mouth makes people want to tear him apart. What’s the use of being good-looking?
If Gu Xiyan marries such a venomous man in the future, she will have a hard time yet.
After Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu left Jinyu Pavilion, others began to talk about Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu.
"You can tell from one look that the two of them have a great relationship. I didn't expect that Gu Xiyan's fiancé is so handsome and even more outstanding than His Highness the King of Qin." One of the noble ladies couldn't wait to express her feelings.
Chi Zao was upset when she heard this. In addition, after spending fifty thousand taels, she regretted a little and was in a bad mood: "It just looks better. Who knows if Mr. Zhou wants to break off the engagement behind the scenes?" p>
"But Mr. Zhou is very gentle to Miss Gu, so it's impossible for him to break off the engagement?"
"What do you know?! It's just a show. Since there are rumors, they must be groundless." Chi Zao said firmly.
Even if Gu Xiyan really marries Zhou Mu, with Zhou Mu's venomous words, it will be Gu Xiyan who will suffer in the future.
Later, Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan walked around the streets and alleys of the capital, leaving traces of them in every silk and satin shop and clothing store.
In addition, they are followed by a group of beautiful maidservants, making them the most eye-catching presence wherever they go.
Soon the whole capital knew that Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan were in a couple. Many witnesses said that Zhou Mu was considerate and considerate to Gu Xiyan and had a good relationship. In addition, the two of them were pretty and beautiful, standing together was very eye-catching.
, there is no more suitable pair of beauties than them.
As a result, the rumors that Gu Xiyan was about to be divorced were self-defeating.
Gu Xiyan was tired after walking around for a long time. After getting on the carriage, she unconsciously leaned on Zhou Mu's shoulder and sighed, "I'm so tired."
Zhou Mu's body became stiff and he did not dare to move.
Because he was so close, his nose was filled with her sweet scent, mixed with the light sandalwood, giving him the feeling that they were connected by blood.
In the past, he wished he could get closer to Gu Xiyan, but now whenever Gu Xiyan gets close to him, it tests his self-control.
He carefully pushed Gu Xiyan away, but the shoulders under his hands were soft and soft. Even though there was a layer of clothing between them, there was a strange numbness in his fingertips.
He secretly rubbed his fingertips, not knowing whether he wanted to retain the touch of her body, or whether he wanted to get rid of the strange feeling.
His throat tightened, and he moved away without leaving a trace. Gu Xiyan happened to look over, and he pretended to be nonchalant and opened his lips calmly: "We are not married yet, so we shouldn't get too close, otherwise it will damage your reputation."
Gu Xiyan wanted to say that he had kissed her so many times, and was it too late to avoid suspicion now?
She looked at Zhou Mu suspiciously, and Zhou Mu said without changing his expression under her gaze: "Good boy, this is for your own good."
Gu Xiyan couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, and couldn't help but joke: "Yeah, we almost broke off the engagement. Although we didn't cancel the engagement this time, as long as we don't get married, the marriage may change. By then, I may not marry the young master, but someone else.
People...um..."
She couldn't finish the rest of her words because her mouth was covered by the man's big palm.
In fact, Zhou Mu wanted to block her mouth with his lips so that she could no longer say these angry words to him.
But he was afraid, so he could only retreat and cover her mouth with his hand.
The moment her soft lips pressed against his palm, he felt his soul trembling.
It's a strange, yet pleasant feeling.
"You can't marry another man! Even if you want to marry, I won't allow you!" Zhou Mu's voice was low.
Gu Xiyan met his dark eyes, his pupils were as dark as ink, as if he was sucking away her soul.
"Do you realize your mistake?" Zhou Mu asked in a deep voice.
Gu Xiyan slapped the back of Zhou Mu's hand to express that she knew she was wrong.
Zhou Mu then reluctantly removed his hand from her mouth and threatened her: "Don't say negative words in the future, I don't like to hear it."
Gu Xiyan nodded like a fool: "No more."
I don't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that the temperature inside the carriage suddenly dropped a lot, and the air suddenly became quiet.
She quietly looked at Zhou Mu, not sure if this person was angry.
At this time, Zhou Mu suddenly looked over, "Who are the other people you just mentioned?"
"Ah?" Gu Xiyan looked confused, not knowing what Zhou Mu meant by suddenly asking.
Zhou Mu guided without leaving any trace: "You said that the marriage has changed. You may marry someone else. Who is this other person?"
Gu Xiyan's scalp was numb due to his sudden sharp eyes. Her brain was a little swollen and her spirit became nervous. She felt that she had said the wrong thing and Zhou Mu might do something to her.
"Is my question so difficult to answer? Who could the other people be?" Zhou Mu's eyes were half-squinted.
Under Zhou Mu's strong pressure, Gu Xiyan became nervous and blurted out: "Master Xu!"
The only young man of marriageable age she has dealt with recently is Xu Yanqing, and all she can think of is Xu Yanqing.
Because of her honest answer, the temperature inside the carriage once dropped to freezing point.
Gu Xiyan looked at Zhou Mu's gloomy face and felt a little scared, so she couldn't help but move farther away from him.
Zhou Mu's eyes darkened slightly when he saw this small detail.
So that dream was not groundless. Did she really want to marry Xu Yanqing?
If he hadn't acted quickly enough last time, Xu Yanqing would have deceived Gu Xiyan.
In that absurd dream, even if he stopped her several times, Gu Xiyan still wanted to marry Xu Yanqing without hesitation.
【Small Theater】:
Brother Mu: Xu San, you are dead.
Xu San: Did I provoke you? Do you have some serious illness?
Brother Mu: You can survive if you mess with me, but you will die if you mess with Xiyan!
