Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 456: Chapter 315: Do Not Leave This King

Gu Changsheng, upon hearing those words, felt a mysterious softness in his heart!

His arms gradually tightened, responding to Zhou Mu’s tight embrace!

Feeling her response, Zhou Mu’s already flushed face turned an even deeper red!

He groaned and hurriedly moved his lower body away!

Zhou Mu, using all his self-control, turned his head away and buried his face in Gu Changsheng’s shoulder, breathing heavily!

“Changsheng my love,” Zhou Mu said in a moment of passion, “promise me, no matter what, that you will never leave me!” He still remembered his most pressing worry and, feeling unsure, he asked again.

Gu Changsheng, while soothingly patting his back, tried to regularize her own breath and upon hearing his words, couldn’t help but curve her lips into a smile, which grew wider and eventually spread across her face.

She liked him! She liked how he was nervous and careful around her! She liked his silly concern for her!

When you like someone, everything that person does is adorable!

That was exactly how Gu Changsheng felt!

Although she loved him deeply, Gu Changsheng still held him tightly and asked in confusion, “Evildoer, what’s wrong with you? Why are you suddenly asking this? You’ve been acting strangely these past few days, were you frightened by the matter with the Futu Demoness?”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu, still buried in her shoulder, shook his head almost imperceptibly.

“It’s not that? Then why? You’re acting so paranoid that it’s making me paranoid too! If something’s troubling you, just say it. With your mouth shut tight like a clamshell, how am I supposed to know what you’re thinking?”

Their long hair intertwined with each other, and Gu Changsheng unconsciously nudged Zhou Mu’s head, quietly asking.

“You don’t need to know my thoughts. I don’t want you to worry!” Zhou Mu shook his head again and said, “Leave everything to me. The incident with the Futu Demoness will never happen a second time! I will not allow anyone to harm you!”

“Changsheng my love, all you need to tell me is that you will never leave me! Never ever!”

As he spoke, Zhou Mu raised his head.

As their eyes met, they breathed the air exhaled by each other…

This position was indescribably ambiguous, the gesture evocative of many thoughts…

But Gu Changsheng, rather anticlimactically, rolled her eyes, withdrew one hand, and tapped on Zhou Mu’s forehead, saying irritably, “Why would I leave you? Am I foolish?”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu’s eyes immediately sparkled like stars, extraordinarily bright and radiant…

Her meaning was all too clear!

She had said it! She said she would not leave him!

A surge of joy instantly filled Zhou Mu from head to toe, and he felt as if he could clearly hear the sound of a huge stone falling from his heart!

His Changsheng would not leave him!

This realization pleased him, giving him a sense of relief like never before, combined with unprecedented peace of mind!

Gu Changsheng hadn’t finished speaking; she curled a strand of Zhou Mu’s hair around her finger and leisurely continued, “Look at you, you’re tall, and with a face that’s hard to fault. Saying you’re handsome would be an understatement. I often feel that you’re like a naturally charming evildoer, born into a good family with substantial wealth–you truly are the epitome of tall, rich, and handsome!”

Zhou Mu, upon hearing this, slowly formed a smile, and his chest began to heave gently.

He was very happy! Even winning great battles had never made him feel this joyous!

Changsheng, with just a few words, could always make him genuinely happy!

“Tell me, looking across Great Zhou, no! Looking across the Four Kingdoms, could I find a man more perfect than you? Taller, more romantic… for instance, Flower Peacock, which I definitely cannot handle!”

“The man I want must pamper me outrageously and be faithful to me alone! Do you think others can be as devoted as you? Zhou Mu, men of this world are often fickle, but to have met you and received your undivided love and deep affection, for me, Gu Changsheng, there is nothing more I could ask for in this life!”

“If you can promise me your exclusive love for this lifetime, then I can promise to never leave you, to be with you in life and in death! This is my promise!” Gu Changsheng said, raising her hand to cover his strikingly attractive face.

Watching his smiling face, momentarily stupefying the city, Gu Changsheng was momentarily distracted.

The man she fancied was extraordinarily handsome!

Sometimes, his looks were even capable of undermining her usually strong and formidable self-confidence!

This fact made Gu Changsheng feel slightly aggrieved!

“Changsheng my love…” Zhou Mu, his face completely devoid of its usual cool aloofness, called out tenderly, full of affection.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng immediately raised her hand to block his face, the mischievous part of her tempted to disrupt his cheerful expression, “And most importantly, you’re Zhou Mu, the Undefeated War God known across the Four Kingdoms! Wealthy and powerful, can there be a more dominant attractive man in all four kingdoms?”

“As the saying goes, it’s good to cool off under a big tree, and such a marvelous tree is hard to find. I finally found such a tree, and if I were to leave, would you think I’m foolish?”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu first froze, then suddenly burst into laughter, collapsing on Gu Changsheng in a fit, shaking like the branches of a tree…

“Thud!”

A very loud falling sound came from the staircase.

Zhou Mu immediately regained his composure, flashing into action, he completely shielded Gu Changsheng with his body.

In the heat of those passionate moments, Changsheng’s clothes seemed disheveled…

“Sir… Sir?”

Si Xi lay awkwardly on the ground, his face stricken as if he had been struck by lightning, struggling to swallow several times before he could barely speak.

Was this his master?

Had he just heard that heart-felt laughter coming from his master?

Having followed his master from a young age, Si Xi had never seen him laugh so openly!

At this moment, Si Xi was utterly shocked!

Zhou Mu, hearing Si Xi’s voice, regained his composure, and his expression immediately darkened.

Gu Changsheng poked his head out from beneath Zhou Mu’s sleeve, blinking his large eyes at the disheveled Si Xi on the ground, a flicker of confusion passing through his eyes.

Was she so engrossed in her conversation with Zhou Mu, or what, that she didn’t feel Si Xi approaching?

“Si Xi, you swooped into the room like a whirlwind; what exactly are you here for? To catch a cheater?”

Gu Changsheng, holding onto Zhou Mu’s sleeve, asked with narrowed eyes full of suspicion.

Upon hearing this, Si Xi immediately froze, kneeling on the ground!

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng immediately glared!

Dammit, she had actually guessed right!

This little Si Xi really had come to catch a cheater!

He had been attending to Borjigin Nian all afternoon, naturally unaware of the evildoer’s arrival, and then hearing Zhou Mu’s laughter, he naturally thought otherwise…

Gu Changsheng watched the kneeling Si Xi with fiery eyes, feeling a tempest raging in her heart!

Was it necessary to be so brain-dead?

The one trying to catch a cheater ended up scared enough by the supposed cheater to fall flat on the floor; it was truly too humiliating for her!

Gu Changsheng didn’t feel that her current position with Zhou Mu was at all romantic; she actually treated Si Xi, the little eunuch, just like she treated Xiao Cui and the other girls, and indeed Si Xi had dressed as a pretty young girl.

With Zhou Mu’s support, Gu Changsheng casually sat up, leaning on his shoulder teasingly, “Evildoer, you should really laugh more often. Look, your laugh has even scared Si Xi, who has followed you for years. It just shows how much you usually look like a big block of ice!”

Lying on the ground, Si Xi heard this and broke out in a cold sweat but couldn’t help nodding.

Exactly! His master should indeed laugh more!

This misunderstanding truly wasn’t his fault! Even though he had followed his master for many years, he had never heard him laugh like this. Hearing it suddenly, it was only natural to think the wrong thing!

Who could blame him when his master was usually so taciturn and cold, not to mention laughing, even a slight smile was rare to see!

Si Xi now understood why Lord Yuan Bao always marveled whenever he talked about his master interacting with Lady Changsheng!

It was his first time seeing them together like this, and he was scared too!

This… this just didn’t seem like his master at all!

Not to mention the intimacy of their current positions, just the laughter of his master alone sufficiently proved the extraordinariness of Lady Changsheng!

For the first time, Si Xi deeply realized that Lady Changsheng must surely and certainly be his mistress!

His master had really recognized her!

As Zhou Mu helped Changsheng tidy the hair he had tousled, he glanced at Si Xi with impatience and said, “What are you still doing standing there? Withdraw now!”

“Yes, yes, yes! Si Xi will withdraw now, withdraw!” Si Xi immediately fled with a face as joyful as if he had been granted a great pardon.

Godfather! His master hadn’t even punished him!

He hadn’t even uttered a word of reprimand!

Out of breath, Si Xi reached the bottom of the stairs, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and couldn’t help but exclaim, “With Lady Changsheng here, the master’s mood really is good indeed! Lord Yuan Bao was truly not deceiving me!”

“Si Xi and Yuan Bao are both spoiled by this king; my love will inevitably have to bear more in the future!” Zhou Mu said, pulling Gu Changsheng to his chest, resting his chin on top of her head, and speaking contentedly.

Gu Changsheng shook her head, “No, I think they’re all quite good! They don’t have too strong a sense of servility and have not lost their true selves; I quite like them!”

At her words, Zhou Mu smiled amusedly.

“By the way, evildoer, you still haven’t told me why you were so distracted?” Gu Changsheng looked up at Zhou Mu’s perfectly curved jaw, asking curiously.

“Cough, cough!” Zhou Mu, his face flushing, coughed twice and turned his head away, “You don’t need to worry about that. Now that you have promised not to leave this king, I will naturally recover!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes.

Were her words medicine? A few words from her and he was all better?

That answer was seriously evasive!

But Gu Changsheng wasn’t one to nitpick, so if he wouldn’t say, she naturally wouldn’t ask.

“My love, did anyone come to visit your manor today?”
