Chapter 1074

how could she still hold back?

Her beautiful eyes were overflowing with watery autumn light.

Being bullied by Gu Hanyuan once again,

the heat in her heart grew even more intense.

Her original intention to seize the initiative and her remaining bit of reserve were completely thrown to the winds.

Li Qiu coquettishly and shyly scolded:

"Young Master Gu~"

Her voice was so soft and charming that even she herself was surprised.

How could Gu Hanyuan not know Li Qiu's thoughts?

A dark light flickered in his eyes.

A moment later,

a playful smile hung on the corners of his mouth again.

He teased:

"Madam, I will take you to a place."

Li Qiu was startled upon hearing this,

and asked subconsciously:

"Where to?"

Gu Hanyuan did not explain much.

"You will know when we get there."

Having said that, he picked up Li Qiu and leaped into the night.

As for that steed that had endured everything, it snorted several times in succession,

before walking away slowly.

Li Qiu, in Gu Hanyuan's arms, stared blankly at the handsome face inches away.

Under the illumination of the clear moonlight,

it seemed to be glowing with a hazy radiance.

Her heart was pounding.

Seeing that Gu Hanyuan was not returning to the Green Phoenix Pavilion,

but instead heading out of the palace,

such a situation

stirred up a thousand thoughts in her heart.

She assumed Gu Hanyuan had the same thoughts as her.

Her already delicate body became even softer.

To ease Gu Hanyuan's burden,

her pair of fair arms could not help but wrap around his neck,

bringing her whole person even closer,

as if she were rubbing her body into his chest.

Seeing this,

the playfulness in Gu Hanyuan's eyes naturally grew even richer.

With Gu Hanyuan's lightness skill,

this journey was naturally extremely short.

Before long, he landed with Li Qiu in a courtyard.

The people in the courtyard were all startled upon hearing the commotion.

After observing for a moment,

a young girl's crisp and pleasant cheering voice rang out:

"It's Brother Gu!"

Saying this, she was about to pounce on him,

but soon she froze in place.

She asked with a strange expression:

"Brother Gu, what is this?"

The young girl was the innocent and lively Zhong Ling.

Zhong Ling had originally been very happy that Gu Hanyuan had returned safely,

but no matter what, she had never expected

that Gu Hanyuan would be carrying a woman when he returned,

and that this excessively charming woman looked extremely similar to Li Qingluo and her daughter.

It was just that the natural charm between her brows

was enough to make even Zhong Ling, who was a woman herself, freeze in a daze upon seeing it.

She asked subconsciously:

"Brother Gu, did you bring the Princess here?"

It turned out she had mistaken Li Qiu for Li Qinglu.

At this moment, Li Qingluo also walked out with Wang Yuyan and Gan Baobao.

Hearing Zhong Ling's words,

she teased coquettishly:

"Hanyuan, did you bring Qinglu up here to recognize her sisters?"

Li Qiu had already sensed something was wrong when she heard Zhong Ling's voice.

She had a faint, ominous premonition.

Things seemed to have deviated from her expectations.

Gu Hanyuan probably did not intend to satisfy her wishes.

Immediately after, she was mistaken for Li Qinglu.

Zhong Ling's question aside,

Li Qingluo's voice was like a thunderclap on flat ground, leaving her dazed.

She turned her head subconsciously to look,

and seeing that familiar face,

the unique connection between mother and daughter

made her realize Li Qingluo's identity in an instant.

She asked in disbelief:

"Are you A-Luo?"

Li Qingluo, hearing Li Qiu's familiar, charming voice,

was also stunned.

Clearly, the woman in Gu Hanyuan's arms could not be Li Qinglu.

Then who else could look so similar to her?

Li Qiu's mind went blank for a moment,

before she asked blankly:

"Are you Mother?"
