Chapter 51 Big misunderstanding
Gu Chaomu embellished the story a bit as she recounted what happened last night.
“Last night, I went to rescue her. We both fell down the slope. But she got angry and lied to me that she was injured, telling me to go find someone to pick her up first.”
But when I returned, she was nowhere to be found. I worried about her and searched for her all night. But it turned out she had already returned to the camp and was lying comfortably in the carriage.
Is this going too far?
Since she's alright, why didn't she think to tell me she was back? When I, Gu Chaomu, travel the world, time is the most important thing to me.
She not only wasted my time, but also my energy. She's so spoiled, so I have to teach her a lesson on behalf of her father.
Otherwise, if they continue to act so recklessly, who knows when our team will even reach Anqi City!
"... "
After hearing Gu Chaomu's explanation, Zhong Shi felt a little disgusted.
That's it?
He was furious over such a trivial matter.
Is pushing a woman to the ground what he calls chivalrous behavior?
Perhaps it's true, Gu Chaomu is just being a bit too petty.
not to mention,
The things Gu Chaomu said were all fabricated by him.
But in reality, the woman on the ground was innocent.
Last night, when the young master brought the woman back, she was already unconscious.
Where would I find the time to tell him I'm back?
Zhong Shi looked at the weak and helpless Qiao Wanwan, his head slightly lowered.
A faint pink blush spread across half of her small face.
His eyes were wet, and it looked like he was about to cry at any moment.
She bit her red lips pitifully.
"... "
Which man wouldn't feel sorry for her after seeing that?
Zhong Shi wanted to step forward and help explain, but then he thought of something else.
He then glanced at the young master beside him.
The young master merely frowned slightly, without making any statement.
So Zhong Shi became bolder.
He stepped forward and explained to Gu Chaomu:
"Young Master Gu, this is truly a misunderstanding."
"??"
Gu Chaomu listened to Zhong Shi's words with a puzzled expression.
Zhong Shi shook his head.
"Oh dear, Young Master Gu, you've misunderstood Miss Qiao. I found her in the woods last night. When I saw her, she was already unconscious."
My foot was still injured, and I felt it was extremely dangerous. So, I brought Miss Qiao back. I had no idea that Young Master Gu was looking for her.
So this isn't Miss Qiao's fault. Come to think of it, it's my fault for not having someone wait for Young Master Gu to return and inform you of this news.
"No, no, no, how could I dare blame Butler Zhong..."
Gu Chaomu's face turned ashen as he listened to Zhong Shi's explanation.
Is what he said true?
Does that mean I really blamed Qiao Wanwan wrong?
Zhong Shi finished recounting the matter in one breath, and even secretly glanced at his master.
As usual, her expression remained calm, and she did not express any dissatisfaction with his help to Qiao Wanwan.
I knew it in my heart.
Young Master should be standing beside Miss Qiao now, right?
He took it upon himself to walk over.
He gently helped the woman up from the ground and offered her a word of concern.
“Miss Qiao, you are still injured. How can you sit on the ground? Come, let me help you up.”
Qiao Wanwan felt cared for, and tears welled up in her eyes as if by physiological reaction, almost uncontrollably streaming down her face.
Fortunately, I managed to hold back.
That's why I didn't cry in front of everyone.
They were all in awe:
Butler Zhong is so nice.
Not only did they save her last night.
Now, even though she's being misunderstood by the male lead, he's still helping her out of that predicament.
She was very grateful.
"Thank you, Butler Zhong."
"You're welcome, Miss Qiao."
Xie Ze's eyes were deep and unfathomable as he watched the situation being resolved.
He didn't say a word the whole time, he just watched quietly.
"... "
At this time,
When Chunxia returned from outside, she saw Zhong Shi helping his young mistress up.
He rushed forward, took Zhong Shi's place, and asked the young lady with concern:
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine..."
Before Qiao Wanwan could finish speaking, Gu Chaomu interrupted, warning her:
“Since Butler Zhong has said so, it is indeed my misunderstanding. Wanwan, but you must remember that this cannot happen again. Otherwise, I will not save you again. You are not so lucky every day to meet such a kind person as Butler Zhong.”
"... "
Qiao Wanwan was speechless.
That jerk misunderstood her and didn't even apologize.
They're still blaming her!
"I know without you saying it. And please, Young Master Gu, don't target me in the future."
When the man heard what she said, he even changed how he addressed her, which told him that she was still not convinced.
Slightly breached, he said:
"I am a chivalrous hero, why would I target a weak woman like you? Don't slander me."
"Whether it's slander or not, everyone can see it clearly."
"... "
Gu Chaomu glanced at the stares directed at her and felt somewhat uncomfortable.
He had a feeling that everyone around him seemed to agree with Qiao Wanwan's words.
His face turned pale.
He hesitated, then looked slightly embarrassed and his face fell.
Meanwhile, Zhou Xinyue, standing beside her, watched as Qiao Wanwan misunderstood Gu Chaomu.
She quickly explained with a smile:
“Sister Wanwan, Brother Gu did this because he cares about you. You should try to understand him.”
Qiao Wanwan pouted, her heart filled with disdain.
What a perfect pair of Zhuge Liang and Feng Chicks, a match made in heaven.
I snorted at them and stopped wasting my breath.
Gu Chaomu looked at Qiao Wanwan now.
The affection she once held for him was completely gone from her eyes.
Now all I see is that unpleasant feeling of disgust.
He had been pursued by Qiao Wanwan for several months.
Seeing the woman now giving him this expression.
I don't know why, but I feel a little empty inside.
It seems that Qiao Wanwan is slowly drifting away from his plans.
He couldn't figure out this woman's heart either.
Like a fish, it jumped happily in the net he was pulling in.
Gradually, it broke through his control...
but,
But in his heart, he felt that he had not done anything wrong.
Everything he's doing now is for Qiao Wanwan's good.
Her father entrusted her to him.
It's only right that I teach her myself.
The man felt empty inside, but he was also full of confidence.
Looking at the angry woman in front of him, he thought to himself:
I just hope she won't be so ungrateful, that she'll grow up quickly and understand how to treat her well, so that everything I've done for her won't be in vain.
...
However, Chunxia, who wasn't present at the scene, was completely baffled by their conversation.
She had no idea what had just happened.
But she could also clearly sense that Young Master Gu was staring at her young lady with ill intent.
She then took a step.
With her hands on her hips, she blocked her young mistress's view of Gu Chaomu.
He shielded his young mistress behind him, protecting her.
She glared back at the young lady.
"... "
Knowing she was in the wrong, Gu Chaomu stopped looking at them.
Xie Ze, who had been waiting silently for a long time, finally clapped his hands, breaking the awkward atmosphere and reminding everyone:
"Alright, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, let's hurry on our way. Let's reach the town tonight and rest for a couple of days to replenish our food and supplies."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Then let's go tidy up first."
"it is good."
Before leaving, Gu Chaomu glanced at Qiao Wanwan, her face showing no kindness.
Zhou Xinyue, who was behind him, also followed him away.
However, Xie Ze and his servants were still there and did not leave immediately.
The man in the wheelchair suddenly turned his gaze toward Qiao Wanwan.
"???"
As Qiao Wanwan prepared to leave, she caught a glimpse of the other person's unfathomable gaze out of the corner of her red eyes.
Looking back,
It landed right on his ethereal, snow-white skin.
But the man still acted as if he didn't care.
Their gaze wasn't even on her.
He merely gave a cold reminder to Zhong Shi beside him.
"Return the carriage."
"Yes, Master."
"... "
Qiao Wanwan was inwardly groaning!
The way she treated the male lead today...
Could Xie Ze's affection for me have also plummeted?
No!
She hasn't even won over anyone yet, and she's already got a negative score?
Then wouldn't she die an even more tragic death later?
