Gu Chaoyan was extrely smart, but she was slow about so things. For example, when it ca to soone else liking her. She would not understand romance unless Zhou Huaijin told her about it personally. She was not aware of how differently she was treated by soone who adored her.
However, when it ca to the book, everything seed so clear and straightforward, so even Gu Chaoyan realized that sothing wasn’t right.
If he just forgot to return the book, then it was probably because he did not pay much attention, but Duke North was holding the unimportant book to his chest even when he was deeply injured, it basically ant that the book was of great importance to him.
Gu Chaoyan was engaged, and Duke North was engaged too.
!!
So the whole thing started to beco very embarrassing.
Sword One was very surprised and amazed by what happened, so she just said it frankly without realizing what was going on, but when the atmosphere suddenly turned so quiet, she seed to realize that she must have said sothing or done sothing wrong. She seed to realize that she should not have just said it like this. It would be very embarrassing for both Duke North and Elder Miss in the future.
However, she had not thought about that a while ago.
Honestly…
Who would be able to understand what Duke North was thinking?
Embarrassed, Sword One had no idea how to change the topic.
The guard in the room finally realized what was going on. He had been working for Duke North for a long while and knew Duke North well.
Duke North had had the book with him all this ti, and he had no idea when Duke North got hold of it.
He did not dwell on that before – he assud that it was only because he liked reading this book.
It was not until now that he realized that the book belonged to Lady Chaoyan.
Everything seed to make sense now. Duke North seed to behave so unnaturally in front of Lady Chaoyan, that was because… but he was forbidden to like her. There was no possibility between them.
If they kept the whole thing quiet there would be no trouble later.
The guard said with a smile, “Duke North loves reading this book. It’s probably because he loves it so much that he has it with him all the ti. Duke North has read a lot of things since childhood, but those books are all too traditional for him to like, and this kind of book attracts him more.”
“…”
“When Duke North wakes up, we can ask him about this.”
“…”
“Also, when he first got injured and had nothing to clench to, he had to grab this book instead. He was calling his wife’s na too.”
“…”
“I thought that it was given by his wife, but it turns out to be a borrowed book,” the guard said with a smile.
Gu Chaoyan, who had a cold look on her face, could not help but throw an appreciative look at this guard after hearing what he said.
She nodded. “Yeah, it is just a book.”
Without showing any expression, she continued to work on the needles.
The poison in Duke North wasn’t serious, and the acupuncture went well.
One hour passed, and Gu Chaoyan put away the needles. “Done, he should wake up tomorrow.”
