In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

Upon hearing this, Mu Wanqing slammed her bowl on the table, her face equally ashen, and left without a word.

The atmosphere immediately became awkward.

Duan Zhengchun felt that it was almost certain that something was going on between Gu Hanyuan and Mu Wanqing.

He was looking at her with a menacing expression, as if she were a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Chapter 41: Zhong Lingmu and Wanqing's Night Talk

Gu Hanyuan didn't say anything.

Zhong Ling looked at his mask with some suspicion, as if trying to discern something from those indifferent eyes.

Unfortunately, after looking for a long time, I still didn't get anything out of it.

This solidified my previous belief.

Finally, Zhong Ling suggested that since she hadn't had a proper conversation with Mu Wanqing in a long time, she planned to stay at the Zhennan Prince's Mansion tonight and sleep in Mu Wanqing's room.

Duan Zhengchun naturally wouldn't object to this, and even had a slight idea of ​​trying to win back Gan Baobao's heart by indirectly involving Zhong Ling.

If Gu Hanyuan knew, he would only say, "You're overthinking it."

However, just as Duan Zhengchun was about to find an excuse to let Gu Hanyuan go back alone, Duan Yu spoke up and asked Gu Hanyuan to stay.

After all, Gu Hanyuan had saved him three times, and he was also his brother-in-law, so he wanted to take this opportunity to express his gratitude.

Gu Hanyuan had already considered staying, so he naturally agreed, going along with Duan Yu's suggestion.

Looking at Duan Yu, who was all smiles and enthusiastically toasting Gu Hanyuan, Duan Zhengchun thought that it was better not to have such a foolish son.

The banquet is over.

Duan Zhengchun cleverly changed his room to one close to Mu Wanqing's, ostensibly to have a good chat with his daughters, and if they talked too late, he would just sleep in the new room.

Furthermore, they arranged for Gu Hanyuan's room to be located almost diagonally opposite the Prince's Mansion.

But he didn't even consider that, given Gu Hanyuan's martial arts skills, if he really wanted to do something, would such a short distance really make any sense?

late at night.

Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling finally couldn't stand Duan Zhengchun lingering in the room talking nonsense anymore, so they kicked him out.

In particular, he specifically instructed them before leaving that "if someone knocks on the door at night, do not open it," which left the two speechless.

After kicking Duan Zhengchun out of the room, Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling both breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing each other's expressions, they exchanged a glance and then both burst into laughter.

"Sister Mu, it feels like we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Zhong Ling spoke first.

"Yes."

Mu Wanqing sighed as well, remembering that the last time they met, she was still angry with Gu Hanyuan because of the Mingkui incident, but she never expected that he would be the one she thought about the most now.

Actually, it hasn't been that long, only a few days have passed, but because so much has happened, it inevitably feels like a lifetime has passed.

Before meeting Gu Hanyuan, Mu Wanqing was still thinking about marrying Duan Yu, who had removed her veil.

However, first he was taken advantage of, and then he was completely exposed.

Then her true identity was revealed, and there was no longer any possibility between her and Duan Yu.

Although I was heartbroken standing on the edge of the cliff, I also felt a sense of relief.

After being comforted by Gu Hanyuan, she was certain that he had taken a liking to her.

It wasn't because of something as ridiculous as getting married just because she took off her veil, but because he forcefully barged in.

If she liked Duan Yu, she would never have felt despair when she was locked in the secret room with him.

At that moment, Mu Wanqing made up her mind that if Duan Yanqing and the others really forced her to have anything happen with Duan Yu, she would commit suicide.

For no other reason than that she didn't want Gu Hanyuan to look down on her in the end.

In the end, Gu Hanyuan appeared out of nowhere and saved her again.

Even though he blamed Black Rose at the time, only Mu Wanqing herself knew how moved she truly was.

Just because of Gu Hanyuan's words, "Good elasticity, keep exercising," he hasn't slacked off in martial arts training these past few days, and has paid more attention to waist exercises.

It even led Duan Zhengchun to misunderstand that she was diligent in practicing martial arts.

Although she had known for a long time that Gu Hanyuan and Zhong Ling were a couple, she couldn't help but ignore it. But when she actually saw the two of them come to her door, she was filled with disappointment.

I always feel like I'm a step behind everyone else, and that things always go wrong, as if the whole world is playing tricks on me.

Seeing Mu Wanqing lost in memories and in a daze, Zhong Ling guessed about 70-80% of what was going on.

While inwardly cursing, "Brother Gu is such a bad guy," she couldn't help but ask:

"Sister Mu, you like Brother Wutian, right?"

Mu Wanqing was taken aback by Zhong Ling's sudden sharp question and could only blush as she retorted:

"No way! How could I possibly like that guy?"

Zhong Ling's direct attack style was also learned from Gu Hanyuan.

He rolled his eyes after hearing Mu Wanqing's words.

"Sister Mu, at least don't blush so much before you say something that's even more convincing."

Upon hearing this, Mu Wanqing instinctively covered her face with her hands.

It was indeed scorching hot.

After a moment of silence, she lowered her eyes.

"Ling'er, am I shameless? I knew you two were a couple in love, yet I still fell for him."

"It will not happen."

Zhong Ling shook her head.

"Brother Wutian is a bad person, but he is so bad that you can't help but stare at him, and you want to peel off his cold mask and wonder if he also has a unique gentleness."

Zhong Ling's eyes shone brightly when she said this, because it was a true reflection of herself.

Looking at Zhong Ling's expression and listening to her words, Mu Wanqing felt a deep sense of agreement and even more envy.

The Zhong Ling of the past was innocent and adorable, but actually quite timid. Now, however, she is sunny and open-minded.

Like a fearless forest sprite running towards the sun.

Mu Wanqing suddenly felt a little inferior, thinking that it was only natural for Gu Hanyuan to fall in love with Zhong Ling.

However, she is willful and extreme, and only causes trouble for others.

Looking at Mu Wanqing's expression, Zhong Ling knew exactly what she was thinking.

"Sister Mu, Brother Wutian has mentioned you to Ling'er."

"He certainly didn't say anything nice, did he?"

Mu Wanqing's expression was bitter. After all, he was talking about another woman while talking about his own woman, so how could he possibly have anything nice to say?

"When we first met, Brother Wutian said that Sister Mu was Mu Qinghua, graceful and elegant. At that time, Ling'er was even ashamed that she couldn't compare to Sister Mu in appearance. Later, he also said that although Sister Mu seemed aloof and willful, she was actually tough on the outside but soft on the inside, innocent, pure and kind, and clever and skillful."

Zhong Ling recalled asking Gu Hanyuan in the room a few days ago and teasing him for his strong reaction when Mu Wanqing was mentioned.

Although a very fair evaluation was given.

Then Zhong Ling was severely punished.

Because she remembered the lesson she had learned, Zhong Ling's face was now a little red.

Mu Wanqing was pleasantly surprised and somewhat incredulous upon hearing Zhong Ling's words.

"Wu Tian really said that? I'm not that good."

"Yes, so Ling'er knows that Brother Wutian must have feelings for Sister Mu."

"But why are you telling me all this, Ling'er? Aren't you afraid I'll try to take Wutian from you?"

Mu Wanqing felt both shy and puzzled.

"Because Brother Wutian is a bad person, a really bad one. Ling'er can't stop him, nor can she possess him entirely. But she also doesn't want Sister Mu to regret it in the future. Gaining Brother Wutian's approval is very difficult, much more difficult than you can imagine, Sister Mu. If you can't get his approval, it's better not to fall for him at all."

Chapter 42: Your Highness, you don't want Duan Zhengchun to know that Duan Yu is not his biological son, do you?

Zhong Ling felt that Gu Hanyuan was actually very stingy with his feelings; either you would gain his approval and be loved by him, or you would only become his plaything.

This is the conclusion she reached after observing closely over the past few days.

Gan Baobao has been working so hard lately that Zhong Ling feels ashamed just watching her. In her daily life, she is extremely obedient and takes meticulous care of her.

Compared to his past self, Zhong Wanchou felt that the difference between people was sometimes greater than that between people and dogs.

But it still didn't make Gu Hanyuan take off his mask.

This differential treatment even made Zhong Ling feel somewhat uneasy, wondering if she was really worthy of his trust.
