Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1265: Chapter 928: All I Ask Is for You to Stay by My Side

As for Wang Buer catching them having an affair, considering Wang Buer himself has issues regardless of gender, and more importantly, she and her evildoer haven’t really done anything outrageous, on a strict level, this scandal doesn’t hold up. Gu Changsheng decided to be magnanimous and not take it seriously like him!

Of course, the most important thing is, getting caught having an affair, it’s one time unfamiliar, two times familiar, three or four times naturally acquainted. Gu Changsheng can now go from initial panic to barely being able to stay calm!

Hell, who said she has thick skin?

Reality tells us, getting caught having an affair isn’t scary. If you get caught enough times, it becomes a habit and feels natural!

Everyone might as well give it a try!

Zhou Mu’s eating manner carried the graceful integrity cultivated by the Imperial Family. By contrast, while Gu Changsheng’s movements could be considered refined, there was a touch more casualness to them!

”Evildoer, we must get that fragmented map. If Luoh Yurou is correct, being able to gather the fragmented map and piece together the complete geography of the Divine Demise Land, our final journey might be much smoother, with fewer risks.”

Things like not talking while eating or speaking before sleeping, don’t exist in the world of Gu Changsheng!

In fact, she’s used to being carefree, most resistant to being bound by rules!

”Okay.” Zhou Mu nodded upon hearing this, while eating, he skillfully helped Gu Changsheng pick food.

On the side, Wang Buer, who was acting as a Maid, heard Luoh Yurou’s name and the Divine Demise Land, frowned slightly, only to be drawn back by the interaction as the two ate, his gaze on his master was slightly anxious...

”I believe Dowager Empress Xiao is quite knowledgeable. Since this auction can catch her elderly eyes, there must indeed be a few rare items among them. My dear Changsheng, if you fancy something, feel free to bid...” As he gave Gu Changsheng her preferred dishes, Zhou Mu spoke with a tender smile on his face.

”Who’s paying?” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately lifted her head from the bowl, looked at her evildoer with interest, and asked.

”I am.” Zhou Mu, surprised at first, then laughed, his expression more tender, and his chopsticks more lively...

Watching from the side, Wang Buer’s eye twitched!

Her master really has no image at all!

How can she just focus on eating?

Where’s the promised interaction?

At least return a bit of affection!

Unable to hold back any longer, Wang Buer, fulfilling the role of Maid, stepped forward with a look of frustration and said to his master, ”Master, stop just focusing on eating! At least offer a dish in return!”

”Huh?” With a mouthful of greens, Gu Changsheng paused, perplexed, and asked Wang Buer, ”Offer a dish? Offer a dish for what?”

Oh my god, she was just eating well!

Why does it bother Wang Buer?

It sounds like she did something wrong...

”Offer a dish back!” Wang Buer immediately said, ”You’re just burying your head in eating, haven’t you noticed all the dishes in your bowl were given by Son-in-law? Master, what you’re doing is wrong, relationships require reciprocity, you need to offer dishes back. See, Son-in-law gave you eighteen dishes, that, that, that was the dish Son-in-law ate, hurry offer dishes back...”

Wang Buer began showing off his knowledge at the table!

Still biting a vegetable stem, Gu Changsheng’s eyes, following Wang Buer’s movements, moved from one dish to another, feeling a bit overwhelmed...

Godfather!

The problem lies here!

She’s eating, does she really need to make it about give and take?

Gu Changsheng’s brow furrowed slightly, yet Wang Buer seemed to be making so much sense...

She seemed to have truly become accustomed to the meticulous care given by her evildoer, even subconsciously assuming it’s deserved, thus forgetting to reciprocate, to contribute...

”Step back!”

Just as Gu Changsheng was furrowing her brow in contemplation, beside her came a low, displeased voice.

Wang Buer froze at the command, next moment he was about to withdraw...

”Wait!” Gu Changsheng immediately spoke, her chopsticks decisively reached out towards the dishes Wang Buer pointed at, ”Eight treasures dishes, four elements stew...”

While reciting, Gu Changsheng placed the dishes Wang Buer pointed to into Zhou Mu’s bowl...

Watching this, Wang Buer was at a loss whether to follow Son-in-law’s command to step back or to listen to his master’s command to wait...

”Wang Buer, is there more?” With chopsticks suspended mid-air, Gu Changsheng frowned, looked at the stunned Wang Buer, and asked.

”Uh...” Wang Buer cautiously glanced at Son-in-law’s expression, hesitating whether to continue pointing or not.

”Changsheng!” Beside her, Zhou Mu finally couldn’t hold back, reached over, covered Gu Changsheng’s paused chopsticks, and spoke in a deep voice, ”You don’t have to listen to him, I will take what I want to eat myself!”

”But he’s right, when I want to eat something, you will get it for me...” Gu Changsheng turned back to look at her evildoer, her expression slightly stiff.

It’s her fault!

It’s her oversight!

It was her who took his love and care for granted!

After spending countless nights and days together, eating at the same table, she doesn’t even know what her evildoer likes to eat!

She doesn’t know how much he has accommodated her likes and dislikes, doesn’t know how much he has sacrificed for her...

She has been deluding herself, never paying attention, and even less... reciprocating!

People around her always habitually centered around her, never did anyone, like Wang Buer, so bluntly point out that, actually, she was wrong!

While she was happily enjoying the pampering her evildoer gave her, she completely forgot to even give the slightest response...

If this were in modern times, she definitely wouldn’t be a qualified girlfriend!

Let alone in ancient times?

She really doesn’t have the virtues of being a good wife and a loving mother, not even a bit of potential!

Gu Changsheng suddenly felt even more guilty!

Not only did she keep dragging him along with her through wind and rain, and sword and spear, but she also foolishly forgot to love him!

At that moment, Gu Changsheng looked at the deeply chiseled features of the man before her, looked at the pampering in his deep eyes, and suddenly felt her eyes grow a little moist. The feeling of guilt swept through her chest in an instant, tugging at her heart in painful throbs!

”If I wanted someone to serve me food, there are plenty of palace maids and chamberlains at my side, why would I need you?” Zhou Mu saw this and knew exactly what his little woman was thinking. He was such an insightful person, he could read her intentions from her every move, even a look in her eyes, not to mention the guilt and self-reproach so obvious in her eyes!

Zhou Mu couldn’t help but raise his hand and ruffled her little head, speaking tenderly, ”What I’ve wanted from the start is just for you to be by my side. Don’t you often say, everyone has their duties? Don’t take Yuan Bao’s job, otherwise, he will cry when we get back!”

”I...” Hearing her evildoer’s words, the corner of Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched instinctively into a smile, she could really imagine herself serving food to her evildoer, with Yuan Bao on the side helpless and tearless...

Thinking of the usually jolly Yuan Bao pulling that face, Gu Changsheng suddenly found it hilarious, making her want to laugh!

Seeing the smile on her face, Zhou Mu’s expression became more tender, his voice full of warmth as he ruffled Gu Changsheng’s little head, ”Do you still remember your dream?”

”I remember!” Gu Changsheng nodded at his words, bluntly saying, ”To eat a big bowl at a time and sleep for a whole day!”

Alright then!

Her dream was just that grand and ambitious!

Hearing his master’s dream, Wang Buer’s delicate face twisted for a while!

That dream!

Left him speechless!

A Southern Emperor, wielding power over most of the world, and that’s her dream...

This...

Truly leaves one speechless!

”Hmm!” Yet Zhou Mu nodded as though he had known it all along, adding another piece of food, this time not placing it in Gu Changsheng’s plate but directly bringing it to her lips...

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng instinctively opened her mouth, took it in, rolled it with her little tongue, chewed, and swallowed!

”So, you just focus on pursuing your dream, eat well, as you said, you be responsible for being pretty like a flower, and I’ll be responsible for earning money to support the family!” Zhou Mu laughed softly, speaking happily.

”Uh... alright then!” Gu Changsheng thought for a moment, nodded, thinking that if she continued to feel depressed, her evildoer would cry!

She was just that carefree, and it’s not like she just started being carefree yesterday!

Anyway, her evildoer should be immune by now!

Nevertheless, Gu Changsheng still took it to heart, so that whenever her evildoer served her food during meals, she would always return the favor!

This feeling isn’t bad at all!

But on the side, Wang Buer silently grumbled in his heart.

His master responsible for being pretty like a flower? His son-in-law responsible for earning money to support the family?

This...

Isn’t this just saying something pointless?

His master was already extraordinarily beautiful!

And his son-in-law’s fortune, well, it might just last him this life, the next life, the life after that, including several generations to come!

Indeed, these sweet words, though moving, don’t quite hold up upon deeper contemplation...

Especially when these words are spoken by these two, their credibility drops to zero!

Still, he’s learned his lesson and decided just to watch and not say a word!

”Evildoer, in light of how you’ve pampered me all this time, I’ve decided, today I’ll splurge!”
