Adjutant Zhang nodded, looked ahead and drove seriously.

When the car arrived at the Governor's Mansion, Mu Yichen and Adjutant Zhang went to the study to discuss military affairs. Gu Shiyao returned to her room. She found the long mahogany box that Mu Yichen had given her before, with ten golden gold bars lying inside.

She rummaged through the cabinets and found a gold bar wrapped in red silk. Then she took the eleven gold bars in her hand and went to the study to find Mu Yichen.

She stood at the door of the study, knocked twice, and then walked in.

Gu Shiyao stretched his head inside and saw that Mu Yichen was the only one in the study, and Adjutant Zhang had left long ago.

Mu Yichen leaned lazily on the sofa, his fingers slightly hooked, his meaning was very obvious.

Gu Shiyao closed the door and came to him.

She placed the box and red silk in her hand next to Mu Yichen.

She said seriously: "Mu Yichen, did Adjutant Zhang just mean that there was not enough money? These are the gold bars you gave me before. Now they are all given to you. You can use them."

Mu Yichen sat up straight and said that he would be lying if he said he was not moved. If he had left it at someone else's house, he would have run away with the money.

His boss Gu always noticed some small details. She could guess from Adjutant Zhang's words that he was short of money and there were indeed many places where he needed money.

Mu Yichen was sitting on the sofa. He leaned forward and hugged Gu Shiyao's waist. He put his head on Gu Shiyao's abdomen.

He said: "Boss Gu, thank you, but I can't use these gold bars."

"It's already here, how long are you going to be stubborn? Buying arms is the most important thing. Without equipment, do you want the soldiers under your command to rush to die?"

Mu Yichen shook his head. He naturally hoped that all the soldiers under his command would live well.

He raised his head and looked at Gu Shiyao: "Boss Gu, if I accept this money from you, I won't even be able to give you the betrothal gift in the future."

Suddenly, Gu Shiyao laughed. Mu Yichen was thinking too much. He even thought about the betrothal gift.

She blinked and suppressed the strange feeling in her heart: "Don't worry, don't you want to wait until Yunzhou City is settled before marrying me?"

Mu Yichen nodded. He couldn't tell when Yunzhou City would settle down. The situation was changing rapidly, and he couldn't tell which day he would go to the battlefield.

He hugged Gu Shiyao on his lap, Gu Shiyao hooked his neck, and she kissed him on the forehead.

"Do you and I still need to talk about this? Mu Yichen, your safety is the most important thing. Besides, you don't have enough money. I still have a cheongsam shop. Yuese and Yueji still have a lot of money in their accounts. I can withdraw it. Give you all."

Mu Yichen put his head on Gu Shiyao's shoulder. He tilted his head and glanced at her, and his original depressed mood disappeared instantly.

"Are you going to let Boss Gu support me in the future?"

Gu Shiyao put his hand on Mu Yichen's back and patted it repeatedly. She smiled and said, "I'm very happy. In fact, it's not bad to have a warlord."

Mu Yichen chuckled. I am afraid that Boss Gu will dislike him by then. He is the only one in the world who dares to say such things as raising a man.

Mu Yichen admired Gu Shiyao's courage in speaking and doing, and her character and temper suited him very well.

At this time, Mu Yichen was so excited that he met Gu Shiyao's gaze and asked directly: "Boss Gu, can you kiss me?"

Gu Shiyao felt that Mu Yichen was the person with the highest IQ.

She chuckled and said nothing.

Mu Yichen likes to guess Gu Shiyao's thoughts. He is very good at attacking people's minds: "If Boss Gu doesn't say anything, then it's okay by default."

The next second, Mu Yichen lowered his head and kissed Gu Shiyao softly. He began to outline the shape of her lips, slowly and softly, and he was unusually gentle to Gu Shiyao. After the kiss, Gu Shiyao leaned in his arms and said with a smile: "Overseer, have you healed your scar and forgotten the pain? I just slapped you today, and it seems you haven't remembered it yet."

Mu Yichen quickly placed Gu Shiyao on the sofa, and then retreated to a separate sofa.

He pretended to cover the half of his face that was beaten: "Boss Gu, I'm still in pain."

"Does it hurt? I think you still want to be beaten."

Mu Yichen took out a clean cup. He bent down and poured a cup of tea for Gu Shiyao, then handed it to her with both hands: "Boss Gu, drink tea."

Gu Shiyao took the tea cup and took a sip: "It's cold."

Mu Yichen was surprised. Is the tea really cold?

Boss Gu was not the kind of person who liked to make things difficult for others. He touched the temperature of the teapot and whispered, "I'll make you another pot."

Gu Shiyao waved his hand, and Mu Yichen's surprised look was very strange to her. A deep meaning flashed in her eyes: "I lied to you, the temperature is just right."

"When did Boss Gu learn to lie?"

After Gu Shiyao drank a cup of tea, she put the teacup on the table and said calmly: "I learned this from you, don't you know?"

Mu Yichen carefully recalled his previous words in his mind. It seemed that he had not deceived Boss Gu.

Boss Gu is most likely thinking of the wrong person.

"I think Boss Gu may have misunderstood me. Are you sure you're not talking about Adjutant Zhang?"

Gu Shiyao thought about it and seemed to be unable to come up with a reason. In her eyes, Adjutant Zhang liked to joke with her, but Adjutant Zhang had never lied to her.

"I don't think it's Adjutant Zhang. It's you, the Overseer, who talks to me the most."

Mu Yichen curled his lips. It seemed that Boss Gu relied on him. He felt that he was wronged.

Quickly, he changed the topic: "Boss Gu, do you have time now? If you have time, we can go to the arsenal now to take a look at the latest batch of arms."

Gu Shiyao thought to herself that she had stayed in Licheng for many days, but she couldn't forget that she was still the shopkeeper of a cheongsam shop.

She rejected Mu Yichen: "I haven't gone back to check out the Yueji Cheongsam Shop for a long time. I'll wait until I finish calculating the accounts and designing some artwork."

Mu Yichen threw out a bait: "Say more? If we don't go today, we won't have this opportunity."

"Overseer, I'm not interested in this."

Mu Yichen raised his eyes. He had just said some nonsense to Boss Gu. How could Boss Gu, a delicate beauty, be interested in this?

It's he who thinks too much.

Gu Shiyao walked out of the Governor's Mansion and called a rickshaw to Yueji Cheongsam Shop.

When he arrived at Yueji Cheongsam Shop, Gu Shiyao found that business was good here, people were coming and going, and the shop assistants were almost exhausted.

She walked to the counter, and before she could open the account book, the second shopkeeper came over.

"Shopkeeper, you finally showed up. I thought you..."

The second shopkeeper paused for a moment. He glanced around and lowered his voice: "I thought you were silenced by the warlord because you didn't show up for so long." (End of Chapter)
