Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

[The host means that the male protagonist doesn't like you that much? ]

0001's question made Mu Zhou pause.

She guessed that Chu Jinyao might like her too.

Otherwise, I wouldn't ask for your hand in marriage specifically.

There's just not much love.

He is a mighty general who became famous at a young age and has never lost a battle. He is able to keep a tight control over anyone or anything that has even the slightest interest in him.

This is what Mu Zhou means to him.

Or perhaps he didn't care whether Mu Zhou liked him or not, as long as he was by his side and satisfied what he wanted, that was enough.

If he cannot be made to realize that Mu Zhou is also a flesh-and-blood person with thoughts, it will be difficult for the strategy to have a significant increase in his favorability.

After 0001 got the explanation, he disappeared again.

Mu Zhou was leaning on the couch flipping through a travel book when the nanny knocked on the door and came in.

"Miss, you have to get up early tomorrow to go to the temple to burn incense. Would you like to rest early?"

Mu Zhou then remembered this matter.

There is an unwritten custom in this dynasty that women should go to the temple to pray for blessings two months before their wedding, and men should go to the temple to pray for blessings one month before their wedding.

Tomorrow is exactly two months before the wedding.

Thinking about getting up early, Mu Zhou went to bed early.

*

At dawn the next day, Mu Zhou was gently called by the nanny.

The people serving in the yard were all transferred by Chu Jinyao. Knowing that she was the future general's wife, they all treated her with care and did not dare to neglect her.

After washing up, Mu Zhou quickly ate a few snacks and prepared to go out.

Outside the door, she was about to get on the carriage when she saw Liang Wei getting ready to go out.

The two looked at each other for a moment, Liang Wei hurriedly looked away, and Mu Zhou did not speak actively, but helped the nanny get into the carriage.

In the carriage, Mu Zhou was drowsy when he suddenly remembered Liang Wei's expression just now.

She seemed a little flustered and guilty.

Mu Zhou instinctively felt that something was wrong.

She opened her eyes and looked at the maid beside her: "Madame Li, how many people are accompanying us on our trip today?"

"To answer the young lady, there are four maids, two coachmen, and six guards outside."

The specifications can be said to be very high.

Mu Zhou nodded and felt relieved.

The carriage quickly left the capital.

Mu Zhou got up too early in the morning and had no appetite, so he only ate some snacks. Now that he was more awake, he felt a little hungry.

Nanny Li was good at observation and when she noticed it, she quickly took out some food.

Although the hungry Mu Zhou didn't really want to eat these snacks at this time, something was better than nothing, so he picked up a piece of plum blossom mud cake.

While they were eating, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Then, the curtain was lifted, and a figure jumped onto the carriage. The extremely aggressive face instantly enlarged in front of Mu Zhou.

Mu Zhou still had the plum blossom mud cake in his mouth and subconsciously leaned back to avoid it.

The nanny stepped outside, leaving only the two of them.

*

Since the day he said he wanted to marry her, the two of them had not been alone together.

At this time, Mu Zhou had not swallowed the snack in his mouth yet, and could only vaguely call out "General".

The soft and sticky sound was like the pastry in her mouth, melting easily in her mouth.

Chu Jinyao was very clear about this.

His eyes darkened as he moved forward, raised his hand to touch the corner of Mu Zhou's lips, and gently rubbed it with his fingertips, wiping away the debris.

Mu Zhou was not used to his sudden intimacy and subconsciously wanted to avoid him, but after meeting his inky eyes, he restrained himself and did not move.

He only spoke in a calm voice: "But are you hungry?"

He heard from the servants that Mu Zhou only ate a few bites of snacks in the morning.

Mu Zhou nodded honestly.

Then, he took out something wrapped in a lotus leaf like a magic trick.

Mu Zhou looked around curiously. The more he looked, the more familiar it seemed. When the lotus leaves opened, the fragrance instantly hit him.

She was delighted:

“It’s lotus leaf chicken.”

When Mu Zhou's father was still alive, whenever her mother hunted a pheasant, she would make lotus leaf chicken for her.

The familiar smell made Mu Zhou relax a lot, and he was no longer so nervous and cautious.

Chu Jinyao looked at her expression, and seeing her like this, he felt a little relieved.

He had someone check and found out that Mu Zhou's deceased father was a hunter and she often ate game when she was a child.

That's why he specially hunted some things and sent them to Mu Zhou last time.

But according to his observation, Mu Zhou didn't eat much last time.

He asked someone to check again and found out about the lotus leaf chicken. When he heard that Mu Zhou didn't eat well in the morning, he immediately asked someone to make it and send it over.

Chu Jinyao tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Mu Zhou, then sat down and watched her eat quietly.

She enjoyed her meal and talked about the past with him.

There was a smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and even the strands of hair on his cheeks became lively.

Chu Jinyao was somewhat glad that he was the one who delivered it, otherwise, he would have missed this rare sight of her pretty face.

Originally, because of the discomfort hidden in his heart, he planned to ask the secret guard to make a trip.

The reason was because he heard her conversation with Chu Caiyan at the door that day.

He wanted to pretend he didn't hear it.

After all, no matter how unwilling Mu Zhou was, she had no choice but to marry him.

No one can change this.

So he could have pushed the door open without a care in the world.

But he still left quietly.

Afterwards, he continued to work on the case as usual, attempting to devote himself to his work without distraction as before.

But in the end, he found that he couldn't do it.

He cares.

Care about Mu Zhou's thoughts and every little thing about her.

He couldn't help but wonder if Mu Zhou was as confused and casual as she was now when she married her late husband.

Or is she as nervous and shy as an ordinary bride, or is she full of expectation and longing?

He didn't dare to think about it.

Because as soon as I have the slightest thought of comparison, it feels like there is a fire in my chest, and I can't help but want to destroy everything.

Such bloodthirsty frenzy had only appeared when he was bloodthirsty on the battlefield.

He didn't dare to think about how Mu Zhou and her late husband got along, nor did he dare to ask anyone to investigate.

Just paralyze yourself like this.

But in the end, he couldn't help it.

He came here in person just to let Mu Zhou eat lotus leaf chicken.

But looking at her satisfied and happy look at this moment, he felt that everything was worth it.

Whatever, she is going to marry me after all, so it doesn’t matter if I treat her better.

Chu Jinyao persuaded himself.

Even he himself did not realize how easy it was to indulge in the tenderness in his eyes at this moment.

*

Halfway through the journey, Mu Zhou was full and wiped his hands with a handkerchief.

Chu Jinyao handed the handkerchief to her, and Mu Zhou took it without thinking much.

Her fingers were slender and white, like scallion whites and creamy fat.

The blue-green handkerchief would occasionally wrap around the fingertips and wipe them gently. The delicate porcelain white and the dark handkerchief were vaguely intertwined, which inexplicably made people imagine a lot.

Mu Zhou wiped it carefully one finger at a time. She was so focused on wiping that she didn't notice a burning gaze following her movements.

He didn't fold the handkerchief again until he could no longer feel the grease on his hands.

The handkerchief was dirty, so she had originally planned not to return it to Chu Jinyao. It was just a handkerchief, and he would definitely not need it.

But unexpectedly, he reached out his hand to her.

Mu Zhou was stunned and explained that the handkerchief was dirty.

But Chu Jinyao insisted.

Mu Zhou had no choice but to return it to him.
