Chapter 282: I Understand, I Understand Everything
Qi Sheng clutched his chest. He was so angry that his breathing was becoming unsteady and his face was turning pale. Ning Shu, being the naive little sweet girl she was, didn’t notice that Qi Sheng was about to die from exasperation and said in a very touched manner, “Young Master, you’re really such a good person. This servant won’t be going later then.”
Then she headed back to her room. Rather than going out at night, it’d be more cozy sleeping in the blankets.
This time, Qi Sheng didn’t call out to stop her. He was probably too furious to do so.
Tch, who asked you to pretend to be gentle? Let’s see how long you’ll be able to keep up the act.
Yue Lan followed Ning Shu into the room and said in approval, “Miss’s choice was perfect. That guy is obviously not a good person.”
Qi Sheng never brought up a lantern festival again after that. However, his facial color remained poor. He was probably still angry, so Ning Shu continued acting as if she didn’t notice anything.
In the end, Qi Sheng couldn’t take it anymore and said to her in a helpless tone, “Haa, you troublesome little girl.”
The sweet doting affection contained in his tone caused Ning Shu to shudder. Fuck, it was so gross that she was covered with goosebumps.
This scenario had occured too suddenly. There was no solid development that had occured between them, so why was he speaking to her in this tone!?
She used her confused panda eyes to look at him. Was there something wrong with his head?
Qi Sheng reached out to take Ning Shu’s hand, so Ning Shu took the initiative to grab his hand first. Qi Sheng immediately felt a sensation like he had been grabbed by a block of lard. That sticky and oily sensation was gross beyond words.
Qi Sheng yanked his hand out of her grasp and hastily wiped his hand with a handkerchief. He didn’t dare to try to grab her hand again after this shocking experience.
Ning Shu looked at him with a bashful expression as she asked, “Young Master, what’s wrong?”
Qi Sheng used a gaze filled with understanding, sympathy, and concern to look at Ning Shu, which caused Ning Shu’s hair to rise up on end. What the fudge? If he had something to say, he should just say it! Was there a need to look at someone in such a creepy way?
“I already know about your identity. You’ve truly suffered a lot,” said Qi Sheng as he continued projecting the words ‘I understand, I understand everything’ with his eyes.
Ning Shu: Oh my fucking god, speak the human language.
She used a confused and very dumb naive angel expression to say, “This servant doesn’t understand what Young Master is saying?”
Qi Sheng shook his head with an ‘I’m hurt’ expression and said, “You still don’t trust me? Do you feel like I’m untrustworthy? You’ve been with me for quite a while already now, could it be that you still don’t understand what kind of person I am?”
Ning Shu found this string of questions baffling. They’ve only interacted for half a month at most.
“You’re still not willing to tell me the truth? I know that you’re the daughter of Prime Minister Mu, Mu Yanmeng. As of now, Situ Qingyu and the prince regent are scouring the city for you, so your cautiousness is also a good thing,” said Qi Sheng understandingly.
Ning Shu stared at Qi Sheng in confusion. “This servant doesn’t understand what you’re talking about? Who’s Mu Yanmeng? This servant is Xiao Hong, this servant’s name isn’t Mu Yanmeng.”
Qi Sheng frowned but his brows soon smoothed out again. “Your cautiousness is good. In the future, when other people ask you, you should deny it just like now. However, you can trust me. Your young master is reliable.”
Ning Shu nodded and said with a grateful expression, “Although I don’t know what you’re going on about, I still thank you, Young Master.”
“Yanmeng, can you show me your true appearance? This young master wishes to be able to remember your true appearance,” said Qi Sheng with passion in his eyes.
Aaand he finally got to his true motive.
