Chapter 457: Chapter 316 When Can I Marry You

Gu Changsheng heard this and was momentarily stunned, making himself comfortable in Zhou Mu’s embrace and rubbing against him, questioning in confusion, “No! I’ve been busy all day taking care of Borjigin Nian and Tan Nv. I even performed a surgery for Tan Nv involving a drainage tube. I was so busy, and I didn’t hear any of the kids report someone visiting…”

Zhou Mu, hearing this, slowly exhaled in relief.

Gu Changsheng was quick to react. Zhou Mu’s relieved exhale had not escaped her ears.

Therefore, Gu Changsheng immediately lifted her head and nudged Zhou Mu’s chin, opening her mouth with surprise and doubt, “You evildoer, are you hiding something from me again?”

Hearing this, Zhou Mu showed a helpless smile and remained silent.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng’s doubts deepened, “Or rather, was there supposed to be someone visiting my residence today? Who? Who can make you so wary?”

Did he really think her, Gu Changsheng, to be a fool?

Zhou Mu ran over anxiously to act as her shadow all afternoon and insisted she answer those cheesy questions. This was definitely not normal!

There was a big mystery here!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu helplessly rubbed her head and pressed her against his chest, his long, powerful arms tightly embracing her, murmuring, “Originally, I was somewhat worried, but now I am not worried anymore!”

His Changsheng had already promised him, if he never leaves her side, she would stick with him through life and death–what more is there to fear?

He knew this woman well, who appeared carefree and debonair but was actually exceedingly proud!

Just as Yuan Bao had said, his Changsheng was one to keep her word, a person who deeply valued promises!

Since she had made such a promise to him, for her entire life, as long as he did not fail her, she would never leave him!

This realization made Zhou Mu feel as if he was bathing in a spring breeze, utterly relaxed!

“Ah… Oh my god, you may not be worried anymore, but my little heart is still hanging in mid-air, how can you be so unscrupulous!” Gu Changshun, upon hearing this, immediately pouted and muttered discontentedly.

Dammit! Being with a clever person has its pros and cons!

The good thing is, no matter what you say, he can quickly grasp your meaning. The bad part is, oh my god, he understands, but here I am still in the dark!

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but worry, what if she, the damsel in distress, was sold out by Zhou Mu, the evildoer, and ended up counting Silver for him?

Even though she was usually quite confident in her own intelligence, such confidence was only when facing people like Yuan Bao. But when facing Zhou Mu, this heavenly evildoer, Gu Changsheng felt she was somewhat lacking brain cells!

She just couldn’t keep up with his pace!

An ancient man, and there he was, smarter than her, someone who had lived for twenty-nine years in her previous life and had comprehended the essence of five thousand years of history. This is really…unbelievable!

Seeing Gu Changsheng blink her long eyelashes and her lively phoenix eyes sparkling, Zhou Mu couldn’t help but smile wryly and reached up to tap her nose, “What are you foolishly thinking about?”

“Thinking that you’re not human…” The absent-minded Gu Changsheng responded instinctively.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu’s face darkened, and he promptly bit the tender earlobe within his reach…

The taste was warm and very nice!

He liked it!

Zhou Mu’s expression brightened immediately!

“Ouch!”

Taken aback by the sudden attack, Gu Changsheng shrieked and instinctively leaned sideways.

The soft couch was neither small nor particularly large, and Gu Changsheng’s movement was so abrupt that it far exceeded the bounds of the soft couch!

Consequently, Gu Changsheng’s eyes widened as she saw herself falling out of Zhou Mu’s arms, about to embrace the earth beneath her…

Gu Changsheng’s sudden scream and movement caught the infatuated Zhou Mu off guard. By the time he realized what was happening, the little woman who should have been in his arms was tumbling off the edge of the soft couch!

A sly smile flicked across Zhou Mu’s chiseled, bewitchingly beautiful face…

“Evildoer, save me…”

Dangling in mid-air, Gu Changsheng managed to cry out just in time.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu’s red lips pursed, and his long arms swiftly reached out…

In an instant, Gu Changsheng was back -securely within his robust embrace.

“I’ve saved you, and since a life-saving grace must be repaid like a spring gushing forth, are you planning to repay in kind, or are you planning to repay in kind?” Zhou Mu smirked devilishly, slightly tilting his eyebrows and tapping the nose of the little woman in his arms.

Gasping for breath and patting her chest, Gu Changsheng glared the moment she heard his words.

“Repay in kind? Repay in kind, your big Ghost head!”

Oh my god, that line was originally hers, and Zhou Mu dared to copy it!

That is outright infringement!

Does he understand copyright law at all? Has he any sense of legal knowledge?

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but snort!

She repay in kind?

Two words: Dream on!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu sighed deeply, “It was clearly you who cried out for me to save you, and I did as you wished by rescuing you, yet you turn around and deny it…”

“If I fell, I wouldn’t die!” Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes and huffed.

“But it was still I who saved you!” Zhou Mu persisted in adding.

“If it wasn’t for your darn sudden attack, would I almost have fallen? You’re just making up for your own mistake!” Gu Changsheng fumed, pinching the soft flesh around Zhou Mu’s waist.

Hmm! The feel is not bad, elasticity is quite impressive!

Pinch it with force!

The pain coming from her waist caused Zhou Mu’s eyes to flicker almost imperceptibly!

This woman is really becoming more and more unruly!

“When we first met, I saved you, and you claimed that you would repay me with your own body, eventually, I paid you one hundred thousand taels of silver to forget about it,” he said.

Zhou Mu grabbed the mischievous hand at his waist and held it in his own, his face devilishly handsome as he spoke, “Now, I regret it, my love, I don’t want the silver back, let me repay in kind!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng was instantly tongue-tied and took a while before she regained her voice, “No way! Absolutely not!”

She must be foolish to let him repay her in such a manner!

“So, either I repay in kind, or you repay in kind, choose one,” Zhou Mu said with a negotiable air, embracing her tenderly in his arms.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chang suddenly blushed and looked exceptionally beautiful!

Repay in kind! The evildoer here is obviously driven by lust, getting serious about repaying in kind, is he?

“A small favor, and you dare ask for me to repay in kind!” Gu Changsheng gritted her teeth and spat out decisively, as if making a tough decision, “Maybe I should just throw myself off the soft couch, then you can pretend you never helped me!”

Damn it!

Repaying in kind! That’s physically demanding work! Not to be tried lightly!

Although she was already a mother, in her past and present life combined, she had never truly married anyone!

Talking about this makes one inevitably blush and have palpitations!

Zhou Mu, upon hearing her words, shook his head indulgently and humorously tapped her brow, saying, “How could I bear to let you fall off the couch? If something bad happened to my love, I would be heartbroken!”

“Then why the fuss! How about I give you one hundred thousand taels of silver and we settle this privately, how about that?” Nestled against Zhou Mu’s shoulder, Gu Changsheng rarely let her guard down, bantering with him.

“Not so great! I don’t need the silver!” Zhou Mu retorted with a proud air.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chang’s lips twitched.

Alright then, you rich braggart! You’re loaded!

Who else but His Highness Prince Mu of the Great Zhou, the Undefeated War God, eh!

War profits are indeed the easiest money to make, without a doubt!

If anyone says Zhou Mu is out of silver, Gu Changsheng wouldn’t believe it even if she were beaten to death!

“Alright! You win! I’m at a loss for words!” Gu Changsheng pouted, her words tinged with resignation.

Zhou Mu, upon hearing her words, chuckled and lovingly ruffled her ink-black hair, murmuring deeply, “When will I finally be able to marry you…?”

He had been waiting for a long time, suppressing himself countless times, just to be able to marry her gloriously!

To be able to rightfully cherish her!

Upon hearing this, a helpless smile appeared on Gu Changsheng’s face, “When indeed? I don’t know either!”

“Perhaps, when you no longer bear the title of His Highness Prince Mu of the Great Zhou, when I am no longer at others’ mercy, then we can be together…”

She was once an Abandoned Wife, whereas he was the Undefeated War God exalted above all in the Great Zhou!

The difference between them was as vast as the heavens, with an insurmountable gulf lying between!

Even her prominent reputation in medicine could not bridge this divide!

In this world, without power, you are merely prey to others!

And unfortunately, she was a powerless woman! She didn’t want to remain so forever!

“Ah…” Zhou Mu sighed desolately upon hearing her words.

Upon hearing this, a hint of heartache appeared on Gu Changsheng’s face; she knew full well his protectiveness towards her!

Having someone so deeply devoted, Gu Changsheng couldn’t ask for anything more!

Lifting her hand to gently cover his god-like chiseled features, their eyes met, and a smile curved Gu Changsheng’s lips, “Zhou Mu, some things are inevitable, unavoidable, and must be confronted head-on!”

“Even if the path ahead is full of hardships and thorns, with you by my side, I fear nothing! Retreat and submission have never been in Gu Changsheng’s life dictionary!”

“One day, when I am powerful enough to stand by you, I want to marry you. Even if everyone disagrees, what of it?”

“Even if a million people stand against me, my will shall prevail! Gu Changsheng’s life has always been in my own hands! No one, be it your Imperial Grandfather, everyone in the world, or even all the gods and Buddhas, can interfere with my life! Those who obstruct me, I will slay gods and kill Buddhas!”

Zhou Mu listened quietly, his heart stirring with intense emotions.

His Changsheng, always so rebellious and wildly arrogant!

And she, his little woman, truly had the strength and the guts!

And he adored her for it!

Zhou Mu embraced her tightly, wishing he could meld her into his very bones.

“Even if a million people oppose, I too will marry you, advance and retreat together, in life and in death!”

Gu Changsheng hugged him back fiercely!

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the two embraced tightly, a breathtaking scene…
