Chapter 298: Chapter 298 - 298 Minister under the Skirt (20)

Xie Shu clearly thought that Chuzheng had intentionally put the medicine in there for him to eat.

Chuzheng was furious.

She turned over, got off the bed, and picked up the porcelain bottle.

“What are you doing?”

“Didn’t you say I made you eat it?” Chuzheng opened the porcelain bottle.

Then I might as well make your claim a reality.

So you dare say it was me!

If I really wanted you to eat it, would I have waited until now?

Stupid chicken brain, are you sick?

Xie Shu seemed to guess what she wanted to do; his complexion turned extremely poor as he shrank inward.

“[Miss,]” the voice from King’s Account was no longer roaring, and the tender voice became weathered, “[this is your Good Person Card, and if you keep this up, he’s going to show you his dark side right away.]

If he turns dark, so be it.

I can just lock him up.

That’s no excuse for him to frame me!

From 15 Feb 2020, Coins spent on books that aren’t selected will be refunded within 30 days. However, Fast Passes will not be refunded.

The selected book will have a mark on the corner of the book cover in 30 days to indicate continuation.

Xie Shu, leaning against the wall behind him, had a mix of gloominess in his eyes, like a fierce beast caged in darkness, about to break free of its shackles.

“Knock knock…”

“Young lady, young lady, your bird is almost tearing my room apart.”

Chuzheng glanced at the door and pinched Xie Shu’s chin to kiss him: “I didn’t drug you.”

She handed him the medicine bottle, turned over to get off the bed, put on her coat, and went to open the door.

The door only cracked open, she slipped out sideways and closed the door behind her.

Only after the room quieted down did Xie Shu’s tense body suddenly relax.

He collapsed onto the bed like a drowning man who had been rescued, gasping for fresh air.

Just a moment ago, he truly thought she was going to make him swallow that medicine.

— I’m telling you, Xie Shu, even if I don’t feed you medicine, you can’t run from whatever I want to do.

— I didn’t drug you.

Xie Shu clenched the porcelain bottle in his hands.

He couldn’t trust her.

He couldn’t trust her.

Xie Shu sat on the bed for a while before finding his clothes.

Yao Ye suddenly pushed the door and entered. “The lady asked me to come check on you…”

Yao Ye stopped at the entrance, his gaze falling on Xie Shu’s shoulder.

Xie Shu quickly pulled his clothes over and turned to look at him: “I’m fine, you don’t have to…”

Bang—

The door slammed shut with a snap.

Xie Shu didn’t even catch a glimpse of Yao Ye’s expression.

He felt the spot of the birthmark, a vague unease in his heart.

–

Yao Ye stood outside the room, as if he had seen something terrifying; he paced a couple of steps and immediately returned to his own room.

Chuzheng was scolding Wu Di, threatening to stew it into soup.

Yao Ye came back, closed the door, and looked at her with blazing eyes.

Chuzheng: “…”

Why does it look like he’s seen a ghost after checking on Good Person Card?

What did Good Person Card do?

It didn’t run away, did it?

Chuzheng grabbed Tianjin Mouse and Wu Di and headed for the door.

Yao Ye stood at the entrance, blocking her exit as he saw her leaving.

“Miss, I have a question.”

“Did the person run away?”

“?” Yao Ye was taken aback for a moment: “No, he’s fine. I just have another question I want to ask you.”

Good that he didn’t run.

“Ask.”

Yao Ye swallowed: “Do you know who that gentleman is?”

“He’s mine,” Chuzheng said confidently.

“…”

Yao Ye was almost made to forget what he planned to ask by this answer.

He took a deep breath, “Miss, have you seen his birthmark here?”

Yao Ye pointed to the position behind his shoulder, exactly where Xie Shu’s birthmark was.

“…”

Chuzheng’s gaze was somewhat cold as she looked at him.

“Do you know what that birthmark is?” Yao Ye did not notice Chuzheng’s expression. He paced back and forth, “Do you know who he is?”

“Is there a problem?” Chuzheng asked.

“Do you really not know?”

“I don’t know.”

“Have you heard of the Heavy Snow Night Moon?” Yao Ye asked again.

Chuzheng remembered that Xie Shu had asked her this question once.

Chuzheng shook her head just the same.

Yao Ye murmured softly, “Heavy Snow Night Moon, he is from the Xie Family of Heavy Snow Night Moon, where every member of the Xie Family has such a birthmark.”

Chuzheng remembered, she never told Yao Ye what Xie Shu’s name was…

“What is the Heavy Snow Night Moon?”

Yao Ye looked deeply into Chuzheng’s eyes for a moment, his usual noisy demeanor gone, and now he appeared somewhat more composed.

“The Heavy Snow Night Moon is a place where the moon hangs high in the sky even during the day. Snow falls there all year round, but the trees and plants are just like those outside. The snow doesn’t pile up. The sky is always filled with snowflakes, yet there is only a thin layer of snow on the ground, just like an Immortal Realm. That place is called the Heavy Snow Night Moon.”

“The family that controls this place is the Xie Clan.”

“Five years ago, the Xie Clan met with ruin, and the entire Heavy Snow Night Moon collapsed. Dongyuan experienced snowfall for three whole months in the scorching summer.”

As Yao Ye spoke, he seemed to have lingering fears.

Su Jiu with his cleanly bandaged wrist lay on the bed with newly changed bed sheets.

His memory of yesterday’s events were blurry and he could not remember some of it as he felt dizzy at the moment.

But he knew who he was with now.

Su Jiu sat up on the bed and peeled the blanket off before taking a look. ‘Very good, he still had his pants on.’

His pants were a little wet so she had probably dragged him out of the bathtub and then thrown him on the bed.

That meant… she had not done anything to him.

Su Jiu let out a small sigh of relief.

He looked around and found his folded clothes on the side which even had a note on it. ‘Was it sent for dry cleaning?’

Su Jiu quickly wore it. He had not found his shoes thus he could only go out with his bare feet.

The girl sat on the sofa located in the living room and looked at him sideways.

Her eyes were calm as though the quiet spring in the forest. It was cold and clear and exuded aloofness.

The young man stood at the doorstep as his pale face had a vague sense of vigilance. “Who are you?”

“Chuzheng.” Chuzheng paused for a moment before adding on. “Gu Chuzheng.”

Gu Chuzheng…n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He had never heard of that name.

Su Jiu asked again. “Why did you bring me here yesterday night?”

Chuzheng looked away and spoke with an indifferent yet sweet voice. “If I didn’t do that, you would have woken up in another person’s embrace.”

Su Jiu was speechless. “…”

He remembered that when he left, he had already felt unwell. It must be caused by the glass of wine Gao Xueyun gave him.

Thinking back, that woman would never let him off so easily.

Previously, although she had cut off all his promotional activities and tried her best to pester him, she had never used such underhanded tactics.

Never had he thought…

Su Jiu glanced at the girl and his cautious eyes had a hint of curiosity. “Aren’t you afraid of offending Gao Xueyun?”

Gao Xueyun was the young lady of the wealthy Gao Family. Even if Gao Xueyun had no real skill, nobody dared to oppose her.

“Gao Xueyun?” Chuzheng reversed the question. “Who is she?”

Su Jiu’s beautiful eyes flashed through a hint of curiosity. ‘She did not know her? Or was she pretending not to know her? Or was she just not scared of Gao Xueyun?’

Su Jiu’s curiosity lasted for an instant before his expression slowly softened. He placed his hands behind his back and walked to Chuzheng’s side. “Thank you.”

The young man’s voice was pleasing to hear and when it landed on the tip of one’s heart, it was as though a feather had brushed past, soft and ticklish.

Chuzheng gave a “Hmm.” The room then went silent for a few seconds before she asked, “Where do you stay?”

Su Jiu gripped his hands tightly behind his back yet his expression was like an innocent white rabbit. He blinked his large eyes and softly asked, “Are you going to send me home?”

Chuzheng nodded her head.

Su Jiu’s red lips curled up slightly as his tone became softer. “You don’t have to go through all that trouble, I can go home myself. You helped me once so if there is a chance in the future, I will not forget to repay your kindness.”

No matter what, he managed to dodge the bullet because of her.

No matter what her motive was, he had to repay her kindness.

“Take your things, let’s go.” Chuzheng stood up and took her things before walking to the entrance.

Su Jiu was speechless. “…”

She was not even listening to him.

–

In the end. Su Jiu still sat in the car with Chuzheng. She refused to let him talk or find a chance to escape and she forcefully pushed him into the car.

The chauffeur drove for quite a distance before Su Jiu gave an address.

Buzz…

The vibration of the cell phone abruptly rang in the silent car.

Chuzheng fumbled around before fishing out her phone. As Su Jiu saw her taking the call, he cautiously glanced at her.

“I’ve got something on.”

“I will come back in the afternoon.”

“Hmm, Okay.”

Chuzheng looked sideways and met Su Jiu’s sneaky gaze. Su Jiu frantically looked away as though he was a cat caught for doing bad things and turned his attention to outside the car.

“Phone.”

Su Jiu looked at the thin and beautiful hand in front of him and instinctively took out his phone, but his phone had already shut down.

He looked towards Chuzheng and innocently said, “It’s out of battery…”

Chuzheng reached over and took the phone. Su Jiu wanted to snatch it back, but was frightened off by Chuzheng’s cold demeanor.

Chuzheng pressed on the phone’s power button and there was a reminder of low battery, but it could still be sustained for a while. Following that, it was the message notification ring which only stopped after a while.

She entered her cell phone number into his phone before throwing his phone back to him. Su Jiu clumsily caught his phone and the screen showed a new contact name – Chuzheng.

The first letter was C and thus she was placed first in his contact list. In the next second, the cell phone vibrated and shut down.

A cold voice rang beside him. “You can call me when you’re in trouble.”

Su Jiu bit down his lips and asked in a deep voice. “What do you want to do to me?”

“To make you think that I’m your friend.” ‘This stupid set-up! Don’t ever let her have something on bastard because if she does, she would kill it!’

[…]’It made the system so afraid! I must watch my tail!’

Su Jiu was stunned. “…” ‘A friend?’ His hazy memory from yesterday gushed up. Although she had not done anything to him, her actions had not seemed friendly either.

But he had dared not to ask too much.

Su Jiu’s living area was not considered good as it was not even considered as a neighborhood.

“Thank you for sending me home.” Su Jiu had a warm expression with a lovely voice which was totally different from yesterday.

Chuzheng was shocked. “…”

‘Was this weakling bipolar?’

“You’re welcome.”

“Su Jiu!”

A coquettish voice rang. It belonged to the woman wearing a red skirt and high heels who aggressively walked over.

“…”

Yao Ye was silent for a while, “My surname is Shen, but rest assured, Miss, I won’t tell anyone about this matter. I actually don’t have much to do with the Shen Family.”

Yao Ye swore with a raised hand.

Chuzheng got up and walked to the door. As she was leaving, she looked back, “My surname is Jun.”

Yao Ye: “…”
