1333 Duke North 4

What Duke North asked about were all small stories in the Anecdote of Saint Divine, where different people with different identities were recounted, and that was why she liked it. She had not read through the whole book, but she had read a majority of the book.

The stories inside the book were just telling a small part, without the ending. That was why Duke North asked her these questions.

When she was reading the books, did she think about those questions?

No, she did not. The stories inside the book did not show an end, which was better for her taste.

Looking at him, Gu Chaoyan did not say a word. Duke North smiled with a shy expression. “Sorry, Lady Chaoyan, I love this book and find the stories inside very interesting, thus I studied it for such a long time. Sorry that I forgot to return it to you.”

“…”

“I remember that only you have read the book, so I asked you involuntarily.”

“…”

“I had not gotten a chance to meet you before, thus delaying the return of the book. Lady Chaoyan, now you are in the room, so here is the book.”

“…”

“If we have a chance in the future, can we talk about this book?” Duke North asked seriously.

He looked calm, but he said everything purposefully.

He did not want Lady Chaoyan to know what he was really thinking.

He knew clearly that if Lady Chaoyan learned of his true purpose, she would ignore him. He wished that they could continue to stay in touch.

That was something that bothered him since he woke up.

He could not help but form a fist, waiting for her answer.

Gu Chaoyan looked at Duke North. She was a very slow-minded person when it came to relationships, but she was a very smart person as well. If she had not seen through Duke North’s purpose today, she would have believed what he said, but she had understood what Duke North wanted, so when she looked at Duke North, she could tell that he was pretending to stay calm while telling her everything.

Gu Chaoyan let out a sigh of relief.

She understood that sometimes, she should be cruel enough to reject him, which was better for his sake.

“The prescription is written, and Yinghan will arrange the medicine to be delivered to you accordingly. As for the external wounds, Yinghan has cream that can heal it. So you can use what is given by her. You are basically fine now, so you can rest for another while before going back to the capital.”

“…”

“As for the book, Madame Jiang gave that to me back then and she gave me many. I did not finish all of them, thus not being able to answer your questions. If you enjoy this book, you can keep it. If you finish it and want to return it to me, you can give it to Sword One who can put it away properly.”

Having said this, she looked outside and found that it was getting very late.

As she thought of the unsettled array formation, she said straightforwardly, “I have other work to do, so I need to be off now.”

Having said that, Gu Chaoyan turned around.

Zhou Huaijin had just walked in and said with a smile, “Chaoyan, we need to go now. It has stopped snowing and the air isn’t that cold.”

Having said this, Zhou Huaijin met Duke North’s eyes.
