Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1097: Chapter 769: The Room Filled with Enchanting Fragrance

Gu Changsheng heard the words and immediately whipped around, glaring at the man in front of her with her phoenix eyes.

Her hand suddenly empty, the silky hair slipped out of her palm in an instant, scattering down. Zhou Mu chuckled indulgently, shaking his head, ”I told you not to move randomly. The hair I just put up has fallen again! Changsheng, you can’t be thinking of going out with your hair down, right? We’re guests at the Guo Residence right now, not in our own palace!”

”I don’t care about that! What I care about is why you’re in such a good mood?” Gu Changsheng glared, speaking in a huff.

Zhou Mu was taken aback, a flash of incomprehensible confusion appearing on his god-like features, ”Why? Is there something wrong with that?”

Shouldn’t he be in a good mood?

He had known this woman for a long time, but spending time alone, like this journey where they were inseparable, was rare. How could he not be in a good mood?

Zhou Mu blinked, his eyelashes longer than a woman’s quivered. He looked at the woman, confused about what minor tantrum she was throwing, sighed again, and shook his head with indulgence.

Seeing him sigh and shake his head, Gu Changsheng’s expression worsened. She immediately pointed at him accusingly, ”Since we escaped the marriage and left the Capital City, your mood has been great, so approachable, unprecedentedly good! Why? Is it because we escaped the marriage and don’t have to have the grand wedding, so you’re very happy? Didn’t I say, when I said I didn’t want to have the grand wedding, how you agreed so readily, it’s because you yourself didn’t want the grand wedding! Speak! Zhou Mu, have you stopped loving me?”

”My love! How can you say that without a guilty conscience?” Zhou Mu said helplessly, raising his hand to catch a finger waving in front of him, murmuring in a low voice.

Zhou Mu’s voice was pleasing, deep and magnetic, like superior silk woven over the years, stirring people’s heartstrings.

”No guilty conscience! Speak, is it or isn’t it?” Though Zhou Mu’s voice was pleasant, Gu Changsheng, who was in a fevered questioning mood, didn’t care about it, wanting only a single answer.

Both hands clutching the front of Zhou Mu’s robe, Gu Changsheng pouted, her watery large eyes staring persistently, slightly upturned, at Zhou Mu.

In early summer, although the climate in Liaodong of the Northern Country wasn’t hot, Zhou Mu’s Itinerant World attire was far less cumbersome than the Purple Gold Python Robe. Obviously, it was also much easier to tear!

Just with Gu Changsheng’s tugging and pulling, his chest garment already hung open, revealing a sturdy chest underneath, along with lines of scars...

Gu Changsheng was unaware, but Zhou Mu, looking at the countenance close at hand, felt his throat roll as the look in his dark pupils deepened. With a motion of his fingers, the previously open door quietly closed.

”Speak! Is it? Have you stopped loving me? After eloping, you finally felt relieved and in a great mood?” Gu Changsheng tugged again at the garment in her hand, speaking crossly, ”I said, all along this journey, whether stopping for rest or lodging, you didn’t cling to me, didn’t even come close to where I slept. I thought you were turning into a gentleman, but no, you’re not becoming a gentleman, you’re fickle!”

”Evildoer, is it that woman you brought back to Great Zhou, that woman you never let me see, hidden delicately like a precious beauty? Speak!”

Thinking of the woman Zhou Mu brought back from Northern Mongolian to Great Zhou, Gu Changsheng felt even more certain of her guesses. In the Capital City, whenever she brought up that woman, this evildoer always deflected with evasions. Seeing his odd behavior now, it was apparent that there was a hidden matter with strange circumstances!

”My love...” Lowering his head, glancing at his disheveled attire, Zhou Mu’s gaze darkened. Silently calling out two words, he felt his throat tighten, unsure of what to say, being someone not good with words, having spoken throughout this journey as much as he had in the past year altogether.

”I knew it, all men are the same, not a good thing among them! I trusted you so much, and you dared betray me. Zhou Mu, do you have a clear conscience towards me...” Gu Changsheng slapped against Zhou Mu’s chest, her low roar abruptly ceasing as she stared in disbelief at the rapidly enlarging beautiful face...

”Uh...”

Her waist was suddenly confined by a pair of long, powerful arms, and the sudden warmth of lips descending on hers choked off the words she hadn’t finished, unable to utter another sound.

Unable to speak, something else was invading!

”Hmm...”

Through the summer attire, the warmth of the man’s strong body was wielding its tension, causing Gu Changsheng’s hackles to rise, struggling as she patted his shoulder.

”Bang.”

With a crisp sound, the two intertwined figures knocked against the dressing table, sending the bronze mirror placed on it toppling down.

After leaving the Capital City, Zhou Mu no longer used fragrance. Without the familiar scent of ambergris, only the faint fragrance of soap and the masculine aroma assailed her nose. Gu Changsheng suddenly felt the air around them thin, making it hard to breathe.

Heavens and celestial beings, wasn’t she here to demand an explanation?

How did she end up on top of the dressing table?

This was not their palace; they were still guests in someone else’s house!

”Mm...”

Initially retaining some rationality, as their lips and teeth entwined, Gu Changsheng yielded.

Their breaths grew progressively fiery.

Redness quietly crept onto their bodies, the scene growing ever more alluring.

The hands that had been pounding Gu Changsheng had lost strength at some point, the warmth beneath them unresisted. Completely spent, she found a brace from the evildoer’s open clothing, clambering onto his shoulder...

A comb that had been set aside unknowingly rolled off the dressing table, spinning a few times on the ground before coming to a stop.

Yet the two half-sprawled on the dressing table clearly had no time to notice it.

The thin summer shirt was truly easy to come undone; Gu Changsheng’s clothing on her chest had unknowingly fallen open as well, a large hand unhesitatingly covering over it...

The scene here was exceedingly lovely, springtime warmth filling the room, brimming with enticing fragrance...

”Creak”

”Young lady, the meal is...”

Suddenly, the sound of a door being opened accompanied the voice.

The people inside froze, Zhou Mu almost instantaneously shifted, his entire form blocking the scenery on the dressing table.

Gu Changsheng was suddenly pulled back from her confused state by the sound, her whole face flushed deep red like a pig’s liver, while nervously peeking through the gap Zhou Mu was blocking.

With just one glance, Gu Changsheng was thunderstruck and froze in place.

Damn!

She only managed to catch a glimpse of a bulging belly!

Then there was a decisive sound of the door closing, followed by the swift and heavy footsteps of someone escaping outside.

Beauty Sai!

Dammit, to be seen like this by someone!

Gu Changsheng felt as if she was burning up, like she couldn’t bear to live anymore!

”Slow down, slow down! You were just supposed to call that young lady out for dinner, but you’re running away like you’re fleeing a disaster,” Guo Luo’s voice came from not far away.

”Hurry up, hurry up, we’ll eat later!”

”What’s going on? Why isn’t Brother Shui Mu in the guest room?”

”Why are you asking so much? It’s not like you’ll starve if we eat a bit later, hurry up and don’t interrupt their, ahem, nice moment!” said Beauty Sai, embarrassed and irritated.

”What nice moment?”

”What do you mean, what nice moment? What else could it be? Honestly, so impatient, and it’s not even sundown yet...”

”...”

In the guest room.

”Thud!”

Gu Changsheng flopped down onto the dressing table, a look of utter despair on her face!

Damn, how she wished her hearing wasn’t this good! How she wished she couldn’t hear the voices outside...

This...

Warm breaths landed on her neck, someone lovingly kissed it, then their lips moved up, stopping by her ear.

”Now do you know? I dare not...”

A deep, enticing voice tinged with restraint sounded in her ear.

”Huh?” Gu Changsheng was taken aback, a little lost.

What the hell? Dare not what?

The evildoer says he dares not? Is this a sign of a red rain coming from the skies?

Totally forgetting to pursue the previous matter, Gu Changsheng blinked in confusion.

”Ever since, no matter when, we’ve always had attendants by our sides, incited by feeling but stopped by propriety, but now, it’s just the two of us, no familiar people around, I dare not, I dare not overstep, I fear I can’t hold back...” the low voice came again.

At these words, Gu Changsheng’s body stiffened, her heart feeling like it was gently stirred, turning instantly into a pool of warm spring water, tears flowing out, soaking into the soul...

He’s always like this!

Always saying such touching words at the most inappropriate times!

A man’s patience is reserved only for the woman he cherishes the most, and even if Gu Changsheng was thick-skinned, she knew all too well what Zhou Mu had endured for her all this time!

A life of controlling emotions, especially in front of the woman he loves, is certainly a torment for a man!

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but lift her hand, gently wrapping it around his lean waist.

They’ve shared the same bed countless times, sleeping in each other’s embrace, but it always stopped at the final step.

Beyond the rites of Zhou, no consummation.

This was his persistence, his endurance, but more than that, it was his respect for her.

A man’s respect for a woman!

Even in the face of love, it cannot be disregarded!

Gu Changsheng’s lips suddenly curled into a smile, indeed, she was just fussing over nothing with her temperamental princess behavior. This man had shared life and death with her, borne the world’s criticism for her, left home and country for the Southern Border because of her... How could such a man not love her!

”Alright! Quickly tidy up, or we will indeed become the laughingstock!” Taking a deep breath, Zhou Mu stood up, lifting the lazy woman half-sprawled on the dressing table along with him, and lowered his head to straighten her disheveled clothes.

Only then did Gu Changsheng recall where she was and the person who had barged in earlier, her face instantly turned red-black, feeling numb...
