Chapter 429: Chapter 293: Understanding and Reasonable Girlfriend Chapter 429: Chapter 293: Understanding and Reasonable Girlfriend Hit him, scold him?

Gu Changsheng couldn’t do it!

What she wanted was only one thing, and that was Huo Shuixian’s life!

Zhou Mu looked down at the beloved in his arms whom he yearned for day and night, a trace of helplessness flickered in his eyes as he softly called out, “Changsheng…”

“Hmm?”

Gu Changsheng, nestled in his arms, instinctively responded.

This night had been terrifyingly thrilling; she was truly exhausted!

Usually, when Zhou Mu got handsy with her, she would treat it as harassment, but now she suddenly felt a sense of dependence…

The embrace filled with the faint scent of ambergris gradually calmed her restless heart…

As Gu Changsheng thought about this, she couldn’t help but shake her head, certain it was because she hadn’t seen Zhou Mu, the evildoer, for several days that she had such a misperception!

Indeed, distance made the heart grow fonder!

Dammit, her superficial obsessive disorder was acting up again!

Zhou Mu looked down at the changing expressions on her face, a trace of struggle flashing through his eyes.

He didn’t want to do anything against her wishes…

Because he knew that even though his Changsheng was willful and unrestrained, making decisions with arrogance, she was always sensible and never acted unreasonably or threw a fit without cause!

Huo Shuixian! She was no longer the kind and innocent girl from his memories. He didn’t know what had happened over the years to turn the person from his cherished childhood memories into the ruthless and cunning figure she was today…

To harm his Changsheng, Huo Shuixian deserved to die a thousand times over!

“Changsheng, can we put aside the matter with Huo Shuixian for now?” Zhou Mu’s voice was grave, cherishing the warmth in his arms, and after much hesitation, he finally spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately sprang from Zhou Mu’s embrace, her face full of shock and disbelief as she looked at the man before her, “What did you say? Put it aside for now? You’re actually protecting her?”

The warmth in his arms suddenly gone, Zhou Mu’s hands still maintained the posture of embracing Gu Changsheng. Seeing her reaction, Zhou Mu shook his head.

As expected, he knew she would still be angry…

“Zhou Mu, tell me why!” Gu Changsheng, her face darkening, demanded forcefully, “I don’t care what you’re really up to, Xiao Chengwen’s people hurt my Han Qiu, and I wiped out his clan! The Futu Demoness sent by Huo Shuixian has injured everyone around me, now your junior sister and Tan Nv are still lying in the tent!”

“Zhou Mu, they ended up like this because they tried to save me. I, Gu Changsheng, have always taken revenge for wrongs against me, and I am fiercely protective and value my relationships!”

“Huo Shuixian must die! Without her death, my rage cannot be quelled!”

Gu Changsheng said this while decisively waving her hand, her willow brows tightly furrowed, and a trace of anger in her eyes.

Because of Zhou Mu, she inexplicably provoked Huo Shuixian, a romantic rival. If it were just an ordinary rival, that would be one thing, but this Miss Huo was not easy to deal with!

“Ah…” Zhou Mu looked at the woman before him, brimming with anger, and sighed helplessly.

At the sound of the sigh, Gu Changsheng’s brows shot up in anger as she said, “Zhou Mu, she has repeatedly caused trouble at my medical hall, and I have not taken it to heart because of the affection you had for her during your youth. But she had the intent to kill!”

“Do you not understand if it had not been for Nian and Tan Nv protecting me at the cost of their lives, the one lying in that tent right now could have been me! Me, Gu Changsheng!”

“Zhou Mu, tell me why you must protect her. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being heartless and demanding a life for a life!”

The more Zhou Mu listened, the more furrowed his brow became, until it was a tight line.

“Changsheng, in this world, anyone who hurts you will not be spared by this prince!” Zhou Mu declared coldly, an ominous glint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

He would not let off those who had harmed her! He would make them pay a terrible price and live to regret their actions!

Gu Changsheng shook her head, disappointment flickering in her eyes, “Zhou Mu, you talk prettier than you sing, but you still want to protect her, right? Even if the person she sent almost killed me, you still want to protect her! Ha…”

Thinking of Huo Shuixian’s devastating beauty, and the inherent instincts of a man, Gu Changsheng began to doubt her longstanding conviction…

Zhou Mu, the man before her who protected and treasured her at every turn, was actually protecting a woman who nearly took her life!

In that moment, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt a twinge of injustice…

That feeling of being forgotten, abandoned, and neglected suddenly enveloped her heart, making her feel an unexpected weight…

Yuan Bao, hiding on the side, watched as Lady Changsheng suddenly became emotionally downcast and immediately sensed an ominous premonition in her heart!

Godfather! Trouble was brewing!

“Master! Shouldn’t you just tell Lady Changsheng?” Yuan Bao crept forward, tugging at her master’s sleeve and whispering.

Seeing Lady Changsheng about to truly misunderstand, if things weren’t clarified, how would they cope with the aftermath?

Lady Changsheng had said before, once the seed of doubt is planted, it grows like a rolling snowball until it turns into an avalanche!

This analogy sounds a bit scary, but when you really think about it, it makes total sense!

Yuan Bao had never thought that keeping Lady Changsheng in the dark was a good decision, for with Lady Changsheng’s intelligence, she would eventually find out the truth! Instead of struggling to keep the truth hidden now and adding to misunderstandings, it would be better to clear things up as soon as possible. Otherwise, without external threats being eliminated, internal chaos would ensue, which would be truly fatal!

Lady Changsheng is indeed His Lord’s fatal weakness!

If Lady Changsheng really misunderstood his master, Yuan Bao estimated that his master would definitely be thrown into disarray!

Zhou Mu looked at the woman in front of him, who was lost in thought, with a cold expression and sighed helplessly as he explained, “Changsheng, I have never lied to you. There are some things I do not tell you because I do not want you to worry unnecessarily!”

“Huo Shuixian cannot be touched right now, not because I have any personal feelings! She dared to harbor the intent to kill you, and that makes her destined to die!”

“You want her life, I grant it to you! However, you should hold back your anger for now and leave her life in my hands for the time being. When the right moment comes, I will not interfere in this matter. Whether you want to kill or mutilate, it’s all up to you!”

“Dear Changsheng, I once promised that my life would be dedicated only to you. So even if I were to die, I would never break that promise!”

Zhou Mu’s words were neither light nor heavy, like a stream of clear water flowing through Gu Changsheng’s heart, making her suddenly see the light!

Gu Changsheng angrily knocked on her own head.

Damn it, has she gone mad?

Given Zhou Mu’s cold and proud character, if he really had something with Huo Shuixian, how could he meticulously dig such a big pit?

“Evildoer, doing something so degrading, you’re really losing your standards more and more!” Gu Changsheng said while shaking her head.

She felt that no matter how you looked at it, Huo Shuixian was the one being used by the evildoer!

If it were said that Zhou Mu betrayed her, Gu Changsheng herself wouldn’t believe it. Just now, she had indeed been bewitched!

But Zhou Mu was obviously unfeeling towards Huo Shuixian, yet insisted on acting as if he had transferred his affections, showing an image of profound love with her. To whom was this grand drama being played?

In the Four Kingdoms, how many could make Zhou Mu willingly play the role of an actor?

The more Gu Changsheng thought about it, the more it gave her a headache!

Hearing the familiar title, the frown on Zhou Mu’s brow softened a bit, and he spoke with indulgence, “I do so for a reason!”

To protect her, let alone being tasteful or tasteless, he was willing to bear any cost alone!

“Fine! Look at you, noble and dignified, speaking righteously, who knows what kind of trouble you’re really cooking up?” Gu Changsheng said disdainfully, her previous sadness gone, and she reverted to her carefree demeanor.

Seeing her like this, the indulgence in Zhou Mu’s eyes was evident, and he shook his head helplessly, pretending to be angry, “Indeed, a heartless creature. Despite my deep concern for you, you’re just enjoying the good show I put on!”

Gu Changsheng heard what he said and helplessly shrugged her shoulders, “The play is of your own choosing, not something I forced. If there’s free entertainment, I wouldn’t miss it for the world!”

She had already taken notes in her little book, just waiting for the day she could turn the tables and sing her song!

Hehe…” Zhou Mu shook his head with a bitter smile, helpless.

His Changsheng, always feigning naivety yet so carefree, made him always feel as if he were hitting a cotton ball, unable to get any response at all!

Seeing his expression, Gu Changsheng could roughly guess what he was thinking and immediately mocked with a twist of her mouth.

Damn His Highness Prince Mu, you’re really overthinking it!

I, Gu Changsheng, am not heartless. I’m quite narrow-minded! I’m keeping a careful tally in my heart!

Now you can jump around energetically, but we’ll settle the score later. Let’s see if you can still jump then!

Catching a weak spot on Zhou Mu, if she didn’t grasp it well, Gu Changsheng herself would feel she was letting herself down!

“Evildoer, let’s leave Huo Shuixian’s life with you for now. Make sure you keep it for me because I want to personally send her to meet the Futu Demoness!” Gu Changsheng spoke with hatred.

Damn it, a gentleman can seek revenge for ten years, but she really, really doesn’t want to be a gentleman!

It’s better when the villains have their way!

But killing Huo Shuixian now would clearly mess up the evildoer’s grand drama!

Look, they’re playing their double act so cheerfully, with the appearance of a loving couple. If she insisted on menacingly storming over there now, wouldn’t she be turning the evildoer’s double act into a solo performance?

Gu Changsheng thought, anyway, she and the evildoer are considered family, right? It’s somewhat improper for one family member to sabotage another. If he loves playing the actor and wants to put on a show, then he can go ahead! She’s too lazy to get involved; she’ll just wait and collect the net!

Gu Changsheng would never admit that she’s actually a lazy person!

Any clear-sighted person could see that Zhou Mu is being so secretive; clearly, the matter is very serious!

She is a clever person and wouldn’t find trouble for herself for no reason!

“Alright! You should be lovey-dovey with your little sister Shuixianer now. It’s not quite appropriate for you to appear in the home of a character who has been abandoned from start to finish! Everyone should return to their own homes, to their own mothers!” Gu Changsheng said as she waved her hand and walked downstairs.

Oh my god, she really is the most understanding girlfriend in the world!
