Chapter 725: Lin Lin Shiyin: Young Master Gu, please let me go

Gu Gu Hanyuan’s so-called appointment was clearly a teasing remark.

But combined with what happened yesterday, it was unexpectedly reasonable.

After all, according to common sense, Gu Gu Hanyuan should have been impatient to collect the favor last night.

Yesterday, to save Li Li Xunhuan, Lin Lin Shiyin had to ask Gu Gu Hanyuan for help.

As a result, Gu Gu Hanyuan used the excuse of testing and interest to take advantage of her.

It made her guess that Gu Gu Hanyuan wanted her body to repay the favor.

She returned to her room to bathe and was incredibly flustered.

At the time, Li Li Xunhuan’s situation was critical, and Lin Lin Shiyin had no choice but to agree.

But after calming down, she couldn't help but feel regret.

She still loved Li Li Xunhuan and was Long Long Xiaoyun’s wife.

If she really repaid Gu Gu Hanyuan’s favor, she would be betraying both Li Li Xunhuan and Long Long Xiaoyun at once.

The more she thought, the more hesitant she became.

But she didn't have the courage to refuse Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Just as Gu Gu Hanyuan said, his favors were not easy to take.

If she went back on her word.

Even if Gu Gu Hanyuan wouldn't make a move against Long Long Xiaoyun because of Long Long Xiaoyun,

he could very likely retaliate against Li Li Xunhuan.

He wouldn't even need to do it himself; just changing Li Li Xunhuan’s current three-month deadline to investigate the case would be enough to give him a hard time.

Lin Lin Shiyin dared not go back on her word and dared not run away; it seemed she had no choice left.

She told herself over and over that this was for Li Li Xunhuan.

But this was just consuming her feelings for Li Li Xunhuan in vain.

Even after a long time, a trace of resentment gradually arose in her heart.

As a result, Lin Lin Shiyin waited in hesitation all night, but Gu Gu Hanyuan didn't come.

She didn't even know when she fell asleep, so her face was inevitably a bit haggard.

Simply put, Lin Lin Shiyin had prepared for the worst, but passed the night safely.

This made her mood incredibly complex.

Gu Gu Hanyuan’s teasing exploded her sense of shame, and she was speechless with a flushed face.

That shy look of a beauty was enough to make one’s fingers twitch.

Gu Gu Hanyuan pulled his arm holding Lin Lin Shiyin’s hand.

With Lin Lin Shiyin’s exclamation, he pulled that moving body into his arms.

Gu Gu Hanyuan teased:

"Is the Lady in a hurry to repay the favor?"

Lin Lin Shiyin was very ashamed and stammered:

"I didn't mean that..."

The male scent filling her nose made her a bit dazed.

After all, she hadn't been held like this for a long time.

However, the man in front of her was neither Li Li Xunhuan nor Long Long Xiaoyun.

How could she let Gu Gu Hanyuan hold her like this with peace of mind?

She tried to struggle, but Gu Gu Hanyuan’s arm holding her was like an iron hoop; she couldn't break free at all.

Gu Gu Hanyuan ignored Lin Lin Shiyin’s struggle, and the arm around her waist tightened even more.

Making her moving body press even closer.

Gu Gu Hanyuan teased in Lin Lin Shiyin’s ear:

"But I see the Lady doesn't seem to have slept well; could it be that you waited all night?"

This remark hit the exact spot where Lin Lin Shiyin felt most guilty.

After all, if she admitted it, it would be hard not to let people guess that she was looking forward to Gu Gu Hanyuan’s appointment last night.

Sun Xiaohong thought Lin Lin Shiyin was a promiscuous woman.

In reality, that was just caused by her being too weak.

Deep down, she still had her own persistence.

It was just that because she owed a favor to Li Li Xunhuan, she lacked confidence when resisting.

Lin Lin Shiyin hurriedly denied:

"No, I was just worried about Cousin."

Gu Gu Hanyuan smiled lightly:

"Li Li Xunhuan has a full three-month deadline; isn't it a bit too early for the Lady to start worrying about him?"

Lin Lin Shiyin also knew that this excuse was too clumsy.

For a moment, she was speechless.

Of course, the more important thing was to get out of this embarrassing and ambiguous situation.

But the difference in strength was too great; not only did she fail to break free, but in the process of struggling, her face turned even redder.

Seeing that she really couldn't break free, she had to hold her hands in front of her to avoid being too close.

Fortunately, Gu Gu Hanyuan seemed to be just holding her, without any further action.

Lin Lin Shiyin was unexpectedly relieved.

She pleaded weakly:

"Young Master Gu, can you let me go first? Long Xiaoyun will see."

As she spoke, she looked at Long Long Xiaoyun, who was still immersed in meditation in the distance.

Gu Gu Hanyuan didn't care; instead, his tone became even more playful:

"Does the Lady mean that as long as Long Xiaoyun can't see, it’s fine?"

Such misleading words made Lin Lin Shiyin even more ashamed.

She hurriedly explained:

"I didn't mean that. It’s just that if Long Xiaoyun sees it, she will be sad."

This excuse was a bit more reliable.

After all, if Long Long Xiaoyun really caught her closest mother and her most admired Master together, it would probably be more than just a matter of sadness.

Gu Gu Hanyuan’s eyes flashed slightly, and he said softly:

"Rest assured, Lady; Long Xiaoyun won't wake up that quickly from meditation."

This was not Gu Gu Hanyuan talking nonsense.

After all, he had calculated Long Long Xiaoyun’s cultivation progress.

It would take at least another hour or two to wake up normally.

However, this could not soothe Lin Lin Shiyin.

Instead, she became even more anxious.

Because she had already vaguely felt the heat on Gu Gu Hanyuan’s body.

If things continued to develop according to the current situation.

Wouldn't she have to repay the favor here?

Although she had done a lot of psychological preparation last night, hesitation was inevitable when it came to the moment.

And more importantly, this environment was too challenging for her sense of shame.

Lin Lin Shiyin could only continue to find excuses:

"But Sister Xian'er and Miss Xiaohong."

"This pavilion is not conspicuous; even if they come, I will be the first to know."

Gu Gu Hanyuan said leisurely.

In fact, it was unlikely that either woman would come.

Lin Xian'er was asleep from exhaustion, not to mention.

Sun Xiaohong was also taken advantage of by Gu Gu Hanyuan last night.

After just one night of poetry, she probably wouldn't have the courage to face Gu Gu Hanyuan yet.

Therefore, for a short time, the two didn't have to worry about being disturbed.

And Lin Lin Shiyin was almost crying from anxiety.

That tearful look was pitiful.

Seeing this, Gu Gu Hanyuan comforted her:

"Is the Lady worried that I will collect the favor from you here? You are overthinking it; I just want to chat with you."

This was good news for Lin Lin Shiyin.

But the situation was still not optimistic, especially feeling that the heat seemed to be intensifying.

She said shyly:

"What does Young Master Gu want to chat about? Can you let me go first?"

"I saw yesterday that the Lady is very interested in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry. Why don't we continue chatting about that today?"
