Chapter 937: Gu Hanyuan, the gentleman?

Gu Hanyuan looked at the distracted Huo Qingtong,

and a flash of satisfaction passed through his eyes.

He asked with concern:

"Miss Huo, what is wrong? Is there still some residual poison?"

Huo Qingtong listened to Gu Hanyuan's concerned words

and finally came back to her senses.

Remembering that she had actually stared blankly just now,

she instantly turned bright red.

She lowered her head shyly and said:

"Thank you for saving me last night, Young Master Gu. I am already fine."

Gu Hanyuan smiled gently:

"That is good. This kind of drug easily harms one's consciousness. I took a shortcut last night; if that caused Miss Huo any aftereffects, I would feel uneasy in my heart."

Gu Hanyuan's smile was warm,

and combined with the soft sunlight,

he appeared even more dazzling.

Huo Qingtong had a tendency to stare blankly again,

but fortunately, she came back to her senses in time.

Her wonderful eyes were filled with autumn waves,

and she said softly:

"Young Master Gu, what are you saying? In that situation last night... Young Master Gu is a gentleman; Qingtong admires you."

Huo Qingtong couldn't believe she actually had such a gentle voice,

with no trace of her usual heroic spirit,

but her face became increasingly rosy.

Gu Hanyuan smiled bitterly in embarrassment:

"Miss Huo is as delicate as spring flowers and as beautiful as the morning glow. Last night, I endured with great difficulty; I truly do not deserve the name of a gentleman."

He wasn't lying either.

In that situation last night,

Huo Qingtong, who was already beautiful as a flower, changed her usual image,

becoming soft and charming.

The strong contrast was even more soul-stirring,

so even Gu Hanyuan had to silently recite the "Ice Heart Art" to endure it.

But he had also accumulated quite a bit of hot emotion.

Fortunately, Li Qingluo helped him extinguish the fire last night,

otherwise, Gu Hanyuan might have regretted it halfway through.

Huo Qingtong didn't expect Gu Hanyuan to express his favorable impression of her so frankly,

and a feeling of joy surged in her heart.

She said shyly and softly:

"Young Master Gu, just call me Qingtong."

Huo Qingtong was quite shy in terms of emotions,

and taking the initiative to propose changing the form of address was already her greatest courage.

Fortunately, Gu Hanyuan did not let down her intentions,

and smiled gently:

"Then Qingtong, don't be so distant with me either..."

Huo Qingtong's beautiful face could not hide her joy,

and she called out somewhat cautiously:

"Brother Gu?"

The two were of similar age,

but after the experience of last night,

in Huo Qingtong's eyes,

Gu Hanyuan's image became tall.

Seeing Gu Hanyuan nod in agreement,

her heart was even more joyful,

and she was not as nervous anymore.

Seeing Huo Qingtong get rid of her maidenly shyness,

Gu Hanyuan's eyes flashed,

and he asked in a deep voice:

"Qingtong, what happened last night? Why were you poisoned by Fu Kangan?"

Hearing this, Huo Qingtong's expression also sank,

and she told the whole process of being tricked into forming an alliance last night without reservation,

not even hiding the difficult situation of the Hui Tribe.

Clearly, she trusted Gu Hanyuan extremely.

Huo Qingtong sighed faintly:

"Fu Kangan has achieved great military success. It is widely rumored throughout the Qing Guo that he is capable in both literature and martial arts, has an imposing appearance, and is a humble gentleman. I didn't expect him to be so shameless."

This had the same effect as Gu Hanyuan building his reputation,

except that Fu Kangan's was the result of years of propaganda by the Qing Guo. ===== CHAPTER 939 =====
