Gu Han Yuan didn't react.
Zhong Ling looked at his mask with suspicion, as if trying to find something in those indifferent eyes.
Unfortunately, she couldn't find anything after looking for a long time.
But it did solidify her previous thoughts.
Finally, Zhong Ling suggested that she hadn't had a good chat with Mu Wan Qing for a long time, so she planned to stay at the Zhennan王府 tonight and sleep in Mu Wan Qing's room.
Duan Zheng Chun naturally wouldn't object to this. In fact, he had a slight intention to use Zhong Ling indirectly to win back Gan Bao Bao's heart.
If Gu Han Yuan knew, he would only say, "You're thinking too much."
But just when Duan Zheng Chun was about to find an excuse to let Gu Han Yuan go back alone, Duan Yu stepped forward and asked Gu Han Yuan to stay.
After all, he had been saved by Gu Han Yuan three times, and he was his brother-in-law. He also wanted to express his gratitude during this opportunity.
Gu Han Yuan had already planned to stay, so he naturally agreed to Duan Yu's suggestion.
Duan Zheng Chun looked at Duan Yu, who was full of smiles and enthusiastically toasted Gu Han Yuan, and thought that it would be better to forget about having such a foolish son.
The banquet ended.
Duan Zheng Chun was cunning and changed rooms for himself, getting closer to Mu Wan Qing's room. He claimed he wanted to have a good talk with his daughters and if the conversation went late, he would just sleep in the new room.
He also arranged Gu Han Yuan's room almost diagonally across the mansion.
But he didn't think, with Gu Han Yuan's martial arts, if he really wanted to do something, would this small distance really matter?
Late at night.
Mu Wan Qing and Zhong Ling finally couldn't stand Duan Zheng Chun staying in the room and talking about nothing. They directly chased him out.
Especially when he went out, he specifically instructed them, "If someone knocks on the door at night, don't open it," making them both speechless.
After kicking Duan Zheng Chun out of the room, both Mu Wan Qing and Zhong Ling felt relieved.
Seeing each other's expressions, they looked at each other and both laughed at the same time.
"Mu Jie Jie, it feels like we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Zhong Ling spoke first.
"Yeah."
Mu Wan Qing also sighed with emotion. She remembered the last time they met, she was still resentful towards Gu Han Yuan because of the Ming Kui incident. Unexpectedly, the person she thought about the most now was him.
Actually, not much time had passed, only a few days. But because so much had happened, it was inevitable that it felt like a lifetime ago.
Before she saw Gu Han Yuan, Mu Wan Qing had been determined to marry Duan Yu, who had removed his veil.
However, she was first taken advantage of, and then she was completely exposed.
Then her identity was revealed, and she was no longer a possibility for Duan Yu.
On the cliff, although she was very sad, she felt relieved.
After being comforted by Gu Han Yuan, she was certain that she had a shadow of him in her heart.
It wasn't because of the ridiculous idea of getting married just because he took off her veil, but because he had forcefully and strongly entered her life.
When she was locked in the secret room with Duan Yu, if she had liked Duan Yu, it would have been absolutely impossible for her to have thoughts of despair.
At that time, Mu Wan Qing had made up her mind. If Duan Yan Qing and the others really forced her to do anything with Duan Yu, she would commit suicide.
For no other reason than she didn't want Gu Han Yuan to look down on her in the end.
Then Gu Han Yuan descended from the sky and saved her again.
Even though he blamed it on the Black Rose at the time, only Mu Wan Qing knew how touched she really was.
Just because of Gu Han Yuan's words, "Good elasticity, keep training," she hadn't slacked off on her martial arts practice these days, and she had paid more attention to training her waist.
She even made Duan Zheng Chun misunderstand that she was diligent in her martial arts practice.
Although she had long known that Gu Han Yuan and Zhong Ling were a couple, she unconsciously ignored it. But when she really saw them come to visit, her heart was filled with disappointment.
She felt like she was always one step behind, always missing out, as if the whole world was playing tricks on her.
Zhong Ling saw Mu Wan Qing's lost and dreamy expression and guessed about eight out of ten of what she was thinking.
She secretly cursed in her heart, "Gu Ge Ge is really a big baddie." At the same time, she couldn't help but ask:
"Mu Jie Jie, do you like Wu Tian Ge Ge?"
Mu Wan Qing didn't know that Zhong Ling would suddenly ask such a sharp question. She was startled and flustered, and could only blush and retort:
"How could I? How could I possibly like that guy?"
Zhong Ling's straight ball approach was also learned from Gu Han Yuan.
Hearing Mu Wan Qing's words, she rolled her eyes.
"Mu Jie Jie, you should at least stop your face from turning so red before you say this. It would have some convincing power."
After hearing this, Mu Wan Qing subconsciously covered her face with both hands.
It was indeed hot and burning.
After a moment of silence, her eyes lowered.
"Ling Er, am I shameless? Knowing that you two are a loving couple, I still fell for him."
"No, you're not."
Zhong Ling shook her head.
"Wu Tian Ge Ge is a bad guy, but he's bad in a way that makes you want to look at him, makes you want to peel off his indifferent mask, and makes you curious if he has his own kind of gentleness."
When Zhong Ling said these words, her eyes shone brightly, because this was also her true reflection.
Looking at Zhong Ling's expression and listening to her words, Mu Wan Qing felt incredibly in agreement and even more envious.
The previous Zhong Ling was naive and cute, but she wasn't actually very brave. But now she was sunny and cheerful.
She was like a forest elf running towards the sun without fear.
Mu Wan Qing suddenly felt a little inferior, feeling that it was only natural for Gu Han Yuan to like Zhong Ling.
And she was stubborn and unreasonable, only causing trouble for others.
Zhong Ling saw Mu Wan Qing's expression and knew what she was thinking.
"Mu Jie Jie, Wu Tian Ge Ge has talked about you to Ling Er."
"He definitely didn't say anything good, right?"
Mu Wan Qing had a bitter expression. After all, he was talking about another woman to his own woman, how could he possibly say good things.
"When Wu Tian Ge Ge first met you, he said that you were as elegant as a willow, and as graceful as the clear morning air. At that time, Ling Er even felt inferior because her looks couldn't compare to yours. Later, he also said that you may seem arrogant and willful on the surface, but you're actually tough on the outside and soft on the inside, innocent and cheerful, pure and kind, intelligent and clever."
Zhong Ling remembered asking Gu Han Yuan in the room a few days ago and making fun of his strong reaction when he mentioned Mu Wan Qing.
Although he gave a very fair assessment.
Then Zhong Ling was severely scolded.
Because she remembered the scolding process, Zhong Ling's face was a little red now.
Mu Wan Qing was pleasantly surprised and a little unbelievable when she heard Zhong Ling's words.
"Wu Tian really said that? I'm not that good."
"Yeah, so Ling Er knows that Wu Tian Ge Ge definitely has feelings for you."
"But why are you telling me all this, Ling Er? Aren't you afraid that I'll compete with you for Wu Tian?"
Mu Wan Qing was both shy and confused.
"Because Wu Tian Ge Ge is a bad guy, a very bad one. Ling Er can't stop him or monopolize him. But I also don't want you to regret it in the future. It's very difficult to gain Wu Tian Ge Ge's recognition, much harder than you imagine. If you can't get it, it's better not to fall for him."
