Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 247: Chapter 145 Confusion of Feelings_2 Chapter 247: Chapter 145 Confusion of Feelings_2 Gu Changsheng’s palm-sized little face rubbed against his palm, her voice still sleepy, “After all, we’ve known each other for some time, and I’m worried that in a fit of anger, you’d vent it all on him…”

Zhou Mu, upon hearing this, shook his head indulgently, “Does Your Highness see me as such a tyrant in your heart, so unreasonable and overbearing?”

“His name is Du Chenzhi, the son of Du Mingli.”

The moment the name Du Mingli was mentioned, Gu Changsheng could clearly feel Zhou Mu’s hand stiffen.

“Evildoer, so much time has passed since the incident of that year, if you can’t forget it, then you must learn to face it. Let’s start by confronting Du Chenzhi… The knot in one’s heart is the hardest to untie; the incident in the Eastern Palace ten years ago, to instill a fear of fire in someone as strong as Zhou Mu, shows how much it affected him.”

“Changsheng!” Zhou Mu’s voice contained a slight tremble of chill.

Bringing up the past, even after many years, that deep, bone-searing pain still lingered, cold air uncontrollably seeping from Zhou Mu’s entire being, a tide of hatred sweeping in, beyond his control.

Gu Changsheng took hold of the hand on her face and slowly looked up, “Zhou Mu, if this is your nightmare, then you must also try to walk out of it. The lack of compassion in the Imperial Family isn’t for you to decide. Running away and killing, they won’t solve the problem. Trust me, okay?”

Gu Changsheng’s voice was warmer than ever before, like a gentle stream slowly flowing into Zhou Mu’s cold, frozen heart.

“Zhou Mu, your fear of fire prevents you from using it in combat, how many battles could you have won easily with it, yet you refrained?”

“Zhou Mu, you are the Great General of the Zhou Dynasty, the lives of a million soldiers hang on your every thought, you cannot afford to have such a weakness.”

“Don’t dwell on it anymore, it’s all in the past… all in the past…” Holding Zhou Mu’s hand, Gu Changsheng petted it against her face like a tame kitten.

She understood all too well how difficult it is to unravel the knots in someone’s heart, and how painful it was for Zhou Mu to revisit the past.

She had no choice but to sacrifice some of her charm…

Admittedly a novice at this, even if she tried to stay calm, Gu Changsheng still felt very awkward!

Under her gentle persuasion, Zhou Mu’s coldness indeed lessened.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng became even more enthusiastic…

Time passed by, and just as Gu Changsheng was almost unable to keep up the act, Zhou Mu spoke, his voice carrying a huskiness and allure, “With such efforts, are you trying to seduce me?”

Gu Changsheng’s petting head suddenly stiffened, her face turning wooden as she looked up.

“I…”

What was she supposed to say again?

“Gu Changsheng, are you trying to seduce me?” Zhou Mu’s eyes flickered with a burning intensity, relentless.

“Have I been seducing you? You were the one who reached out, how did I seduce you? Besides, do I look like I need to seduce you?” Gu Changsheng suddenly felt duped; why did she feel like Zhou Mu’s reaction just now was somewhat fabricated?

With a quick stretch of his arm, in the blink of an eye, Gu Changsheng found herself in a strong and warm embrace.

Through the fabric, she could feel his heartbeats as chaotic as thunderous drums, and the scorching heat of his body temperature…

“You really don’t need to seduce me, I’ll seduce you instead…”

A shadow swept over her like a gale, and before Gu Changsheng could regain her senses, it precisely attacked those alluring, luscious red lips.

The warm touch, like fire, instantly engulfed them both.

Amid the emotional turmoil, Gu Changsheng felt as if she was about to be completely consumed by the flames…

Suddenly, a pang of pain came from the corner of her mouth, and Gu Changsheng sharply inhaled, pushing away the man who was greedily stealing kisses and seemed addicted to it.

“You evildoer, damn, are you a dog or what? You actually dared to bite me!”

His face, flushed from passion, suddenly showed a trace of bewilderment when he was violently pushed away.

In an instant, she saw Gu Changsheng wiping her mouth.

Zhou Mu’s heated gaze unconsciously narrowed, the very place he had just kissed. His lips still retained her lingering warmth…

“Damn it, you’re definitely a dog! Look, it’s bleeding!”

Gu Changsheng lifted the back of her hand, accusing with a sharp tone.

Zhou Mu followed her motion, and under the hazy light of the night lamp, the several streaks of moisture on her snow-white hand shimmered enchantingly, with something amidst them…

A streak of bright red!

Instantly, the emotional confusion vanished, and Zhou Mu snatched Gu Changsheng’s hand to have a look, then anxiously lifted her chin, scrutinizing her swollen lips carefully, “It really is bleeding, open your mouth and let me see.”

At this time, he couldn’t care less about being the Emperor or not, Zhou Mu was only concerned about the injury on Gu Changsheng’s lips!

Under Zhou Mu’s anxious gaze, Gu Changsheng embarrassingly blushed, swatted his hand away, and covered her mouth, her voice muffled, “Stop your hypocritical concern, you’re a dog, through and through!”

Who kisses by gnawing on someone?

Damn it! This evildoer surely took advantage of the situation to bite down hard!

“Hiss…” Having just said a word, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Wuwu, her lips must be torn!

Who had she even provoked? Indeed, beauty leads to trouble!

“I was wrong; it was all my fault. I will definitely be more careful next time.” Zhou Mu looked at her with a pained expression, raising his hand to try and take down her hands that were covering her mouth.

“Next time? You dare to mention a next time! Evildoer, are you sent by monkeys to tease me? Is this what you call a kiss? It’s more like a dog’s chew!” Gu Changsheng’s face crumpled into a bun, dodging Zhou Mu’s outstretched hands.

It was too embarrassing; she had actually been gnawed on!

“Blame my impulsiveness; I’m not familiar with it, that’s why…” Zhou Mu’s face, like that of the Exiled Immortal, flashed a trace of embarrassment, insistently struggling with Gu Changsheng’s hands that were covering her mouth.
