Chapter 1346

She muttered:

"What kind of senior brother pats someone there? Even my father has never disciplined me like that."

However, as her shame and annoyance subsided,

she only felt an extraordinary numbness.

It was so numbing that her heart pounded wildly.

The blush that had finally faded slightly stained her pretty face once more.

Especially when she saw Gu Hanyuan lightly twisting his fingers with a subtle smile,

her heart began to beat even faster.

Gu Hanyuan reached out and pulled Shuang'er, who was silently watching from the side, toward him,

playing with her delicate jade hands.

He watched Li Yuanzhi, who was burying her head in her meal, with a pleased expression.

Shuang'er felt a little shy, but she did not refuse.

She had always strictly kept to her duties as a maid.

She never once spoke to disturb the two of them.

If it hadn't been for Gu Hanyuan's signal earlier,

she would not have even sat down to eat.

Although Shuang'er had not spent a long time with Gu Hanyuan,

she had gained a deeper understanding of him.

Call it youthful romance, or call it lustfulness,

Shuang'er discovered that Gu Hanyuan was very interested in beautiful women.

The Li Yuanzhi before her was clearly his target.

And Luo Bing, who had left early, was likely one as well.

Shuang'er did not mind Li Yuanzhi.

Li Yuanzhi was born charming and beautiful.

It was perfectly normal for Gu Hanyuan to like her.

But Luo Bing made Shuang'er's heart feel slightly bitter.

After all, Luo Bing was already a wife.

Yet Gu Hanyuan was setting his sights on her.

If it hadn't been for the precedent of Pan Suying,

Shuang'er would likely have been even more troubled.

However, she also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, in her perception, Gu Hanyuan had been too high and mighty.

Even though they had had intimate contact, she felt very distant from him.

Now, he felt real instead.

Gu Hanyuan did not notice the change in Shuang'er's thoughts.

But even if he had known, he would not have cared.

He understood Shuang'er's temperament.

Since she served him as her master, she would think for him with all her heart.

The meal passed with Li Yuanzhi finding no taste in her food.

Especially when she looked up and saw Gu Hanyuan playing with Shuang'er's slender jade fingers, her mood became even more complicated.

Gu Hanyuan brought the two women to a residence in the city.

He handed a waist token to the steward for inspection.

The steward immediately and respectfully invited them inside.

This residence had been prepared in advance for them by the "Earth Net."

With sufficient financial support, the "Earth Net" was developing rapidly.

Even in the Qing Guo, where their investment was relatively weak, they possessed quite a bit of power.

Otherwise, they would not have been able to keep a close watch on Wei Xiaobao.

Since Gu Hanyuan had planned to come to Yanjingcheng in advance,

he naturally would not stay at an inn.

Gu Hanyuan said to Li Yuanzhi, who was curiously examining the surrounding environment:

"It is getting late, Junior Sister Yuanzhi, go and rest early."

However, Li Yuanzhi keenly sensed that Gu Hanyuan seemed prepared to go out.

She asked curiously:

"Does Brother Gu have something to do outside?"

Gu Hanyuan was a bit surprised upon hearing this.

He asked with a light laugh:

"How did Junior Sister Yuanzhi know?"

Li Yuanzhi said triumphantly with a coquettish laugh:

"Intuition."

A flash of inspiration suddenly struck her.

She asked suspiciously:

"Brother Gu, you aren't going to look for that woman we saw in the restaurant, are you?"

Gu Hanyuan was even more surprised.

His gaze flickered slightly, and he said frankly:

"I am indeed going to look for her."

Li Yuanzhi said in astonishment:

"You really are going to 'kill the husband and seize the wife'?"

However, upon seeing Gu Hanyuan raise his palm,

she subconsciously covered her little peach behind her and took two steps back.

She scolded coquettishly with a slightly red face:

"Brother Gu, are you planning to take action just because I exposed your thoughts?"

Gu Hanyuan said indifferently:

"Red Flower Society."

Li Yuanzhi was stunned upon hearing this.

She quickly reacted.

She exclaimed:

"That woman is from the Red Flower Society?"

Gu Hanyuan explained:

"She is the eleventh leader of the Red Flower Society, 'Mandarin Duck Blade' Luo Bing, and that man is her husband, the fourth leader of the Red Flower Society, 'Running Thunder Hand' Wen Tailai."

Li Yuanzhi said with sparkling eyes upon hearing this:

"I didn't expect them to be people from the Red Flower Society; it's a pity I couldn't get to know them."

Although Li Yuanzhi's father, Li Kexiu, was a Han general of the Qing Guo,

she was very interested in anti-Qing organizations.

Not to mention the Heaven and Earth Society,

the Red Flower Society had a great reputation due to the deliberate promotion by interested parties.

Many of their deeds had been exaggerated.

Li Yuanzhi lacked the ability to discern, so she wore a filter.

She believed that the people of the Red Flower Society were all upright heroes and great champions.

Hearing suddenly that she had brushed past people from the Red Flower Society, she inevitably felt regret. ===== CHAPTER 1348 =====
