Clouds and Moon Shadow

After being patted hard on the shoulder by Gu Qingyue, Mu Yun Chu lowered her head, a gentle and doting smile appearing in her eyes. When she looked up again, she remained indifferent as ever.

"Hmm, not bad," Mu Yun Chu openly looked Gu Qing Yue up and down, and said, "The clothes fit well, cough cough-------but you need to tie your hair up in a bun, it won't do if you leave your hair down."

He wanted to say that even with this dress on, he didn't dare look at her figure too much. Just one glance was enough to tell how graceful, delicate, and light the girl in front of him was.

Even now, his heart is still pounding like a deer.

He turned away to cover his embarrassment and said, "Go and get your hair done, I'll wait for you."

After speaking, there was no movement behind her. Mu Yun Chu was puzzled and turned around, only to be met with a magnified, jade-like face. "Are you joking?"

Gu Qingyue's voice turned cold.

"What?" Mu Yun Chu was confused.

"If I knew how to style my hair, would I need to come to you with my hair down?" Gu Qingyue was very arrogant. She was about to get angry, and this big jerk was definitely faking it.

"Heh------", Mu Yun Chu finally understood. So that's why the woman in front of her had such an angry face earlier. It turned out she didn't know how to tie her hair up.

Mu Yun Chu pondered for a moment, then naturally raised his hand to touch the top of the woman's hair. It was soft and smooth, with a faint fragrance. He picked up a strand of hair that had been blown by the wind and gently tucked it behind the woman's ear. His heart began to pound wildly again, and the tips of his ears turned slightly red.

"Go back first, I'll find someone to help you," the voice said in a clear and gentle tone.

Gu Qingyue raised her eyebrows in suspicion. Mu Yun Chu could be so gentle. He was always indifferent and aloof, his tone cold and detached, unlike ordinary people. Sometimes, he was even as cold as a frozen pool, keeping people at arm's length.

Is he only gentle to women?

It seems I'm at an advantage being a woman, haha, being treated so gently by such a man is definitely worth it.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyue stopped arguing, nodded, gave the other person a look that said, "You're quite sensible," turned around, and walked briskly towards the backyard.

Watching the woman's graceful figure, free and easy, drifting away like the wind, gradually disappear into the distance.

Mu Yun Chu's heart was in even greater turmoil.

At 1:15 PM, Gu Qingyue, with her hair styled in a beautiful cloud-like bun, adorned with a white jade butterfly hairpin and a matching tassel dangling from her forehead, boarded the carriage with Mu Yun Chu.

Mu Yun Chu sat upright, watching Gu Qing Yue idly playing with the ends of her hair, and couldn't help but steal another glance at her face.

The woman's face was exceptionally beautiful, with a touch of childishness, yet also a hint of cuteness and cunning; her eyes sparkled like a lively elf.

Mu Yun Chu forcefully suppressed the turmoil in her heart, coughed, and attracted Gu Qing Yue's attention.

When Gu Qingyue saw him looking over, she nodded naturally and gave a faint smile, revealing a shallow dimple on her cheek. This made Mu Yun Chu, who had just calmed down, feel his heart pound again.

He was born into a noble family and had seen countless noble ladies. If judged only by appearance, there were many beautiful women, but the woman in front of him had a natural beauty that revealed a free spirit, a bright and cunning look, or an occasional aloofness that he had never seen before.

She can be as unrestrained as a man, as clever and cunning, or even as cold and sharp. He has been deeply attracted to her in every way since long ago.

Meanwhile, Gu Qingyue was looking forward to her first mission in this other world.

She wondered what questions the other party would ask and how she should respond.

Although Mu Yun Chu had briefly introduced the siblings' situation and asked him to follow her and act according to the situation, she still thought in advance about possible accidents and how to deal with them. She was a meticulous and serious person when she did things.

Gu Qingyue thought for a while and couldn't help but ask Mu Yun Chu, "What kind of personality does that person have? What about his sister's personality?"

Her voice was clear and warm, unlike her usual male attire.

"A typical businessman. I've heard his sister is very clever and shrewd. Be careful not to fall for her tricks..."

Mu Yun Chu patiently explained the two people's situation and family background to Gu Qing Yue.

Outside the carriage, Mu Nan sat on the carriage shaft, listening to the two people inside talking in hushed tones, acting as the coachman.

For the first time in his life, he began to doubt his own eyes.

That should clearly be a man!

But who was the woman in the long dress who greeted him behind his master at the gate of the mansion?

Is he really the same person as that carefree, easygoing boy who always carried a medical kit?

He wanted some peace and quiet.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Fenghua Tower, Mu Nan parked the carriage, lifted the curtain, and Mu Yun Chu strode down, turning back to wait for Gu Qing Yue to come out.

Mu Yun Chu disguised herself today based on Lin Shao Zhong's appearance. Since she was using his name, she naturally had to disguise herself as him.

Gu Qingyue gathered the hem of her skirt and bent down to get out of the carriage.

Upon seeing her long dress, Mu Nan suddenly realized he needed to get the dismount stool from the back of the carriage. However, as soon as he turned around with the stool, he watched as she jumped off the carriage.

The next moment, he stared wide-eyed.

It wasn't that Gu Qingyue fell down, but rather that the moment she jumped down, Mu Yun Chu, who was originally going to help her off the carriage, instinctively reached out and pulled the woman into his arms.

Gu Qingyue: ......

Mu Yun Chu: ......

Mu Nan: ······

It was very sudden.

The three of them were startled.

Gu Qingyue shifted her body, feeling a little uncomfortable being held so tightly by the man. No man had ever held her like this before, neither in her past nor present life. Her face suddenly turned bright red, catching Gu Qingyue off guard.

Mu Yun Chu thought he must be hallucinating. He hadn't planned to be so intimate with her so soon. He knew he had a lot of feelings for her, but he didn't want to do it in public. Besides, he didn't want to scare Gu Qing Yue.

His face turned red to the roots of his neck, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to look.

"Cough cough------Let me go first," the two faced each other, so close that they could hear each other's breath. Gu Qingyue felt that her face must be hot enough to fry an egg. She lowered her head uncomfortably, her eyes darting hard at the gold thread on Mu Yun Chu's chest.

"Oh, oh oh--------" Mu Yun Chu still had one arm around her waist, tightly, the two of them pressed close together. The woman's waist was slender and soft, as if it would break if you broke it. Because he was too nervous, when he heard Gu Qing Yue's words, he subconsciously hugged her even tighter.

Gu Qingyue: ......

She felt that the man must have done it on purpose, but seeing his equally nervous and helpless expression, she felt that she had wronged him.

Just as I was about to remind him to let go, a mocking male voice came from the entrance of the restaurant.

"Oh, is this Young Master Lin? What brings you here?"

It was obvious that the man had seen the sign on Mu Yun Chu's carriage. It was very conspicuous, and Mu Yun Chu had deliberately put it up so that they could be easily recognized.

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance, then quickly stepped back to keep their distance.

Because Mu Yun Chu withdrew her arm so quickly, Gu Qing Yue almost lost her balance.

She quickly steadied herself, lowered her head, and gritted her teeth in annoyance. That damned, stinky man!

I'll settle the score with you when I get back!

"Young Master Zhang, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Mu Yun Chu switched to an indifferent expression in an instant, cupped her hands in a respectful bow, and became serious and solemn.

"Who is this?" Zhang Junqian was stunned when he saw Gu Qingyue's face clearly. This woman was extremely beautiful and had an otherworldly temperament. Although she was embarrassed and annoyed just now, she was now calm and composed. He could not see the shy look she had just had. Such a woman could not have been taught by a mere merchant. He had doubts in his heart.

"My fiancée," Mu Yun Chu replied calmly.

What?! She's his fiancée again?! Yesterday they were husband and wife, this morning they were siblings, and now she's his fiancée? What's going on?

Gu Qingyue raised an eyebrow and looked at Mu Yun Chu's serious and handsome face. She really wanted to go up and punch him in the face to teach him a lesson for pretending!

Ignoring Gu Qingyue's dissatisfaction, Mu Yun Chu naturally stepped forward, took her hand, nodded to Zhang Junqian, and walked into the restaurant.
