Chapter 155: After you pass the door
“Damn you, bastard! Despicable scumbag! How could you use such a dirty trick?!”
Qian Wanjin was hopping mad. “I’ll go back and tell Grandpa and Grandma!”
The corners of Feng Qingbai’s smile stiffened, “…”
“Just wait and see! Hmph!” Qian Wanjin tipped his chin up and felt a tiny dab of triumph when he passed by Feng Qingbai.
He lost, but that didn’t mean he lost the battle. He couldn’t lose momentum in front of His Highness.
Isn’t it just bluffing? Who can’t do it?
Go back and write a plan. List out all the things that will add chaos to Feng Qingbai and arrange them one by one!
Bullying me and trying to pick up girls. Hmph! We’ll see who’ll be anxious in the end!
In the last moment before Liu Yusheng lost consciousness, Feng Qingbai was still exploring tirelessly between her lips.
When she opened her eyes again, she was already in her bedroom, and the light was pouring in from the windows.
She didn’t know when she fell asleep and how she got back.
Only a slight tingling on her lips reminded her that what happened last night was not a dream.
It also affirmed her thought that Feng Qingbai was a real beast.
She got out of bed and took a closer look in front of the mirror. She could still see the swelling and redness of her lips, and the skin on one lip was torn.
Recalling last night’s intense lip and tongue kiss, Liu Yusheng’s face quickly reddened and her heart thumped once more.
The beast…
I wonder what he’s doing now.
“Aunt Liu! Aunt Liu! Are you up yet?” Knoc-knock. Someone tapped on the window, and then came Feng Mohan’s shouting.
Liu Yusheng rushed to pull the window open, and was greeted with an overly bright smile of the boy. There was a touch of flattery in his smile and a streak of worship in his eyes.
“…Why are you here?” Liu Yusheng felt a bit disconcerted. She always had this feeling that he could see through the secrets of her heart.
Does this guy know?
Did Feng Qingbai tell him?
“Aunt Liu, you haven’t finished the story the other day. I came to hear it! Go on, continue telling me!”
“No, I have to go to the convention today. I don’t have time to tell you…”
“No need to go. Your companions have already left and asked me to tell you to get some sleep. Today, they can go by themselves!
Besides, didn’t you see what time it is? It’s almost noon!”
The boy waved his hand and spoke like a small adult.
Liu Yusheng looked up at the sky, “…” Blush.
This was the first time she woke up so late, and the first time she slept so late.
Last night, it seemed that she couldn’t hold on any longer and slept while he was kissing and kissing her.
“Auntie Liu, what’s wrong with you? Your face is so red. Are you hot?” The boy through the window feigned surprise, but had a narrow smile in his eyes.
Liu Yusheng was sure that he definitely knew something!
“I’ll wash up and get something to eat. You can come back later.”
“I’ll wait for you here. I have nothing to do anyway. Uncle is busy and no one cares about me.”
As soon as she heard this news, her heartbeat that has just calmed down thumped again. Shyness was oozing out of her heart mixed with a hint of sweetness.
In the past, she didn’t understand why men and women in love would smile so much at the mere mention of each other. All that was left was to write love all over their faces. Now, she was getting the hang of it.
The boy didn’t leave and just propped his chin on his two hands outside the window to watch her, without a hint of boredom.
His eyes flashed like X-rays and kept circling around her, making Liu Yusheng extraordinarily uncomfortable.
“Ahem, why don’t you tell me about you and your uncle? What usually keeps him…you guys busy?”
Feng Mohan raised his eyebrows and smiled secretly. Tut, if she wanted to know more about his uncle, she just had to ask him. She needn’t beat around the bush to find out.
He cleared his throat and sat on the window sill with his hands propped up. “Since you want to know, let me tell you.”
Liu Yusheng: “…”
“I’m not going to tell you anything about me, and I’m sure you don’t want to know anyway,”
The boy’s little adult-like I-know-it-all look made someone’s hands itchy.
“As for my uncle, he’s busy.
He has endless things to deal with every day from morning till night. So, two or three hours a day is more than enough.
But my uncle is awesome. As long as he has decided to do something, nothing is impossible.
Anyway, he’s good at everything, but he has a nasty temper. He’s always mean to me, and he often punishes me at every turn!
Auntie Liu, when you pass through the door, put in a good word for me with Uncle so that he’ll treat me better.”
Liu Yusheng: “!” Blush.
This kid really knows everything!
How many people know about it?
The big continue to chatter, "With Auntie Liu, I won't have to ask Auntie Zheng for help from now on. Auntie Liu's words are much more powerful than Auntie Zheng's."
Liu Yusheng was bewildered. “Auntie Zheng? Who is she?”
“Oh, I forgot to tell you. Auntie Zheng is Uncle’s maid. She’s called Fu Yuzheng. She takes good care of me. When Uncle punishes me, she would often plead for me.”
At this turn, the boy scratched his nose a bit. “One or two out of ten of her plea for leniency however, gets successful.”
Maid?
Liu Yusheng knew very well that homes of the rich and powerful have people to wait on them such as slave maids, manservants, housekeepers, maidservants, etc.
However, hearing that Feng Qingbai also has a maid to serve him, and that the boy seemed to be quite close to her, Liu Yusheng felt some discomfort deep within.
Even though she knew that those were normal, she still minded.
The boy also proficient at judging facial expressions, so when he noticed that anomaly on Liu Yusheng’s expression, his heart secretly screamed, Oh no! He panicked to explain.
“Auntie Liu, don’t get me wrong. There’s nothing between Uncle and Auntie Zheng! It’s only because Auntie Zheng saved Uncle when he was young, and Uncle is thanking her for saving his life. That’s why when she was sent to the house, Uncle kept her. He made her a maid and gave her a place to stay. Uncle has never been close to her, really!”
“She saved your Uncle? What’s that all about?”
“I don’t know exactly what happened. But my youngest uncle lived among the masses when he was young and stayed in Xuzhou for several years.
That’s when he met Auntie Zheng and they got along with each other for a while.”
The boy didn’t dare to say that his uncle had a fever when he was young and mumbled called Auntie Zheng’s name in his sleep.
If he uttered a word of it, it would be terrible. His Uncle would skin him alive!
Seeing the boy’s anxiety to clarify, Liu Yusheng felt herself blushing for her short-sightedness.
“I didn’t say anything. Look at how anxious you are. She’s just a maid, right? She’s just taking care of your daily needs. Your uncle is usually so busy. Even if he had the heart, he wouldn’t have the time to worry about such trivial matters
himself.”
The boy nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes that's right!"
Liu Yusheng laughed. After washing up, she walked out of the room and said to the boy, "Come on, let's go and have something to eat first. Then I'll tell you a good story afterwards."
“Okay!” The boy jumped off the ledge, smiled mysteriously, and walked out of the courtyard door with the lady.
Before stepping out, Liu Yusheng froze.
At the gate, a man in a dark purple robe was standing with his hands behind him. His tall, straight back was like an orchid. Just a shadow of it made her heart beat faster.
