Transmigrator meets Reincarnator

Ch. 16 Petty

The young girl who had just come of age was petite and soft-looking. Her head was pillowed on one arm. After sleeping on the chair, her black hair had already come loose; a few strands were lying on her slender, rounded shoulders.

Her eyelashes were long and dark, like two little fans casting shadows over her eyes, setting off a pretty picture. Her skin was practically flawless, smooth and white to match her petal-plush lips. They moved in a pattern along with her shallow, long breaths. She looked exactly like a sleeping kitten, giving watchers the urge to pull her into their arms, pet her little head gently, and coo to her in a soft voice.

Upon seeing such a defenseless Chu Lian, the showering scene that he had saw that day popped into He Changdi's mind.

He had to admit that she was indeed beautiful. Because she was young, even if she didn't put one bit of makeup on, her face still looked like a beautiful painting. Perhaps this was one of the perks of being a main character!

He Sanlang blanked out for a good two seconds. Then, his face contorted.

He berated himself fiercely, scolding himself for fantasizing about that wicked woman. How could he be so silly as to think that she was good and harmless?

He Changdi took a deep breath in, letting the cool night air wake him up. He reached out to push Chu Lian with force, saying in a cold voice, "Get up!"

Chu Lian was in the middle of a beautiful dream of eating a huge feast in the modern era. After getting pushed by He Sanlang, the book in her hands fell to the ground with a loud plop. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes as she woke up. Without looking properly at the person by her side, she asked, "Momo, is it time to eat? I'm hungry."

He Changdi's face was reflecting his inner turmoil. Upon hearing Chu Lian's words, it immediately turned as black as a pot.

Eat, eat, eat! All she knew was how to eat all day! Had this wicked woman suddenly became a foodie in this lifetime?

"You're still thinking of food? The kitchens already burned down! Don't think you'll get anything to eat tonight!" He Sanlang couldn't hold back his anger as he shouted at her.

The moment Chu Lian heard his voice, any dregs of sleep were immediately shaken off by her fright.

With a pair of watery, big eyes, Chu Lian glared up at the man standing tall beside her.

Her almond-shaped eyes were moist because she had just woken up. There was a faint blush on her cheeks. She looked completely like a harmless, tender young woman. Even if someone listed off all the wicked deeds that she would come to do in the future, there would probably be a grand total of zero who would believe them.

Her eyebrows furrowed when she looked clearly at the frosty look on He Sanlang's face. She looked listless as she turned her head and leaned back against the chair once again. "Husband, how are the servants in the main kitchen now? Are there any who were hurt badly?"

Her voice was soft and pleasant to the ear, however, when He Sanlang heard it, his temper rose for no reason.

"Heh! Don't you know perfectly well whether anyone was hurt or not?"

This wicked woman was probably the one who had ordered someone to set off the fire in the first place! Didn't she feel that she was being very fake by asking about it?

Chu Lian found it weird. She puffed up her cheeks like a squirrel. "Well, I wasn't the one who set the fire off. How would I know?"

Conversely, He Changdi sneered in response. Her words had clearly angered him. He felt that he couldn't continue living with this wicked woman for a second longer. His chest was about to explode from the amount of rage bottled up inside. He really just wanted to strangle her to death right now!
