Chu Yunshen did the unexpected!
Cheng Xiaoxiao felt a headache coming on and wanted to pull Chu Yunshen’s robe in protest. Sadly, she was in Wan Xia’s arms and was some distance away from him.
Chu Yunshen was completely unmoved. His thin lips parted as he spoke.
Stop! Stop talking!
When did Chu Yunshen become such a talker? Why couldn’t he just shut up already!
Cheng Xiaoxiao was worried Chu Yunshen would end up not giving her a single bite of osmanthus cake if he went on talking. He might just confiscate the two pieces of cake hidden in Wan Xia’s sleeve altogether.
Fine!
It was a deal!
“Meow!”
The lion cat raised her paw to her face and moved it slightly.
Cheng Xiaoxiao was mimicking a fortune cat. She felt she ought to have done a good job. Even if she did not look as innocent as the fortune cat, she should at least look cute.
The lio
Cheng Xiaoxiao was wondering what the alarm was for. She got such a shock that she did not even dare to breathe hard. It turned out she had simply forgotten the lunch box.It was no big deal at all! Wan Xia could go back for it after Cheng Xiaoxiao was done eating. Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't expect Xiao Yue to be even more anxious. She promptly urged Wan Xia to go back for it right away.“Miss Wan Xia, why don't you go back for the lunch box first? What if you get into trouble?”Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Yue quizzically. She found Xiao Yue’s logic inconceivable.Chu Yunshen was alone in the room and he was not the sort of person to punish a woman for something as minor as this.Wan Xia’s face turned even paler when she heard what Xiao Yue said. She hurriedly wanted to leave with the lion cat. “I wouldn't be as scared if it were anyone else. I didn't clean up and take the lunch container and His Highness is
If it were any other day, Chu Yunshen would have turned around to dodge her. He would have also punished her severely for this audacity.For some reason, he did not want to resist. Instead, he let Wan Xia gradually come closer to him.Wan Xia bent over and came close to Chu Yunshen’s ear before she said softly, “Your Highness, is the lion cat the only thing you want to see?”Chu Yunshen’s breathing quickened as he inhaled Wan Xia’s fragrance. Even though he was holding his breath, he kept wanting to inhale more.Wan Xia’s voice sounded mesmerizing and kept tempting Chu Yunshen. He remembered of the young woman dressed in blue whom he had encountered several times. He kept thinking about her warm embrace and sweet melodious singing…Just thinking about it made his body suddenly feel hot.Chu Yunshen knew something was definitely wrong, but he couldn't stop himself.Wan Xia didn't get angry when
Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t go for the chicken since she had plenty of other food to eat. Also, she had promised Wan Xia she would be quick, so she couldn’t make Wan Xia wait. Thanks to Xiao Yue’s minor interruption, Cheng Xiaoxiao finally noticed something amiss with her jade pendant. Since Cheng Xiaoxiao’s movement was large, the jade pendant hidden under her fur inadvertently showed up. The jade pendant vibrated slightly as it hung from Cheng Xiaoxiao’s neck. Since the vibration was minor and Cheng Xiaoxiao was focused on food, she only noticed it now. Was there a ghost?Also, was it right here?Cheng Xiaoxiao was eating the osmanthus cake, but she promptly slowed down. She kept her eye on Xiao Yue as she chanted to activate her third eye. “Hear my order, jade pendant, and open my eyes!”Cheng Xiaoxiao lowered her head and pretended to pick food as she narrowed her eyes and look
Xiao Qin kept saying Wan Xia was pretty and Xiao Qin didn’t want to come back before she died. Now it seemed that those weren’t the words of a crazy woman. Also, Cheng Xiaoxiao recalled Xiao Qin looking at the plaque at the pavilion…Cheng Xiaoxiao recalled the words “Twilight Chases the Wild Duck” written on the plaque. Was Xiao Qin trying to hint Wan Xia had something to do with this since Wan Xia’s name meant twilight?Cheng Xiaoxiao would have assumed it was a mistake based on Xiao Qin’s words alone. Time and time again, all signs were telling her that her dear friend Wan Xia wasn't as simple as she seemed.However, Wan Xia had never harmed Cheng Xiaoxiao or Xiao Qin, so perhaps there was more factors involved. Even at this stage, Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to defend Wan Xia.Cheng Xiaoxiao was not stupid. She was simply siding Wan Xia because she was her friend.Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to ask
Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to turn and leave when she detected something amiss with the room. There seemed to be someone in the room…Cheng Xiaoxiao could faintly hear someone moaning. It was so faint that it resembled a kitten’s meowing.She pricked her ears and listened carefully. Other than the thunderous palpitation of her heart, she could clearly hear the sound of a man gasping deeply in the room. Cheng Xiaoxiao naturally recognized this sound. She had watched plenty of movies. Also, she knew the voice well since they were together all the time. Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t have the same kind of courage as she did when she interrogated Xiao Qin earlier. Now, she didn’t dare to move at all. This was simply strange. She was terrified of going into the room and didn't dare to confirm the thoughts running through her head.She ought to run in and interrogate the people inside the room, but she did
In a split second, Chu Yunshen recalled a pair of cunning contrasting eyes and hurriedly lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms.The contrasting cat eyes emerged in his mind and overlapped with the pair of bright beautiful eyes he had been thinking of. The only problem was, this woman in front of him didn't resemble the woman he was thinking about.In that case, who was she?Chu Yunshen felt as though his mind was about to explode as he kept his eyes on the woman wrapped in the blanket. It felt as though he was about to stare a hole right through the woman.The moment Cheng Xiaoxiao saw Chu Yunshen looking at Wan Xia lovingly, she could not bear staying here.Just when she was about to leave, Chu Yunshen finally reacted.Chu Yunshen lifted his foot and kicked Wan Xia off the bed altogether before covering himself with a blanket with only his head showing.Cheng Xiaoxiao was stunned
Cheng Xiaoxiao was spot on. Xiaowu didn't even bother to ask Xiao Yue how she knew about this since it was completely redundant.“Miss Wan Xia, my apologies, but I really need to ask. The lion cat should have been inside His Highness’ room. Why did you take her out? Also, why did you leave the cat outside to play on her own after taking her out?”“The lion cat wasn't alone. I was with her all the time.”Wan Xia kept crying, so Xiao Yue hurriedly made an excuse on her behalf. However, no one caught the vicious look in Wan Xia’s eyes as she lowered her head and used her handkerchief to wipe the tears from her face.When Wan Xia raised her head, she reverted to her pitiful act again. It was impossible for anyone to turn a blind eye when they saw Wan Xia crying. “I simply lost consciousness, but I didn’t lose my memory.”Chu Yunshen finally glanced at Wan Xia, but he was looking at her like she was a rat and
Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't know how to wrap her mind around this. Also, she did not know how to feel about this.For instance, Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't know whether she should be happy or sad now.Although Cheng Xiaoxiao ought to feel glad that Wan Xia was innocent, they were unable to make headway of what happened between Chu Yunshen and Wan Xia. Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't know how to face them and how they would face each other from now on.Cheng Xiaoxiao contemplated as she sat beside the baby bird's cage. Mu Bai and Chu Yunshen continued discussing the matter.“Although there is no poison, I have never encountered such a fragrance before. Why don’t we ask her more?”Since Mu Bai already knew this fragrance was poison-free why did he suggest interrogating Wan Xia? Why was he so interested in a woman's fragrance?After Mu Bai had interrupted Cheng Xiaoxiao’s thoughts she looked at him quizzically. She did not underst
