Chapter 953: Once He Courted Death Enough

Xuan Hongyu was attracted to Shangguan Qingrou so much that he couldn’t extract himself. It had already turned into a sort of persistent obsession.

However, normal people wouldn’t be able to take such intense possessiveness. It’d only feel suffocating and make them want to flee.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, Xuan Hongyu seemed like a madman. The moment something involved Shangguan Qingrou, he’d become a madman.

It was no wonder Shangguan Qingrou had kicked Xuan Hongyu away without hesitation to get together with the fifth prince.

I’m a woman of the modern era! How could I possibly accept these inhuman conditions?

I belong only to me, not to you or anyone else. I have my own thoughts. I’m a person with dignity, not an emotionless toy.

Ning Shu really wanted to pull Xuan Hongyu back and stop him from running further on the path of courting death.

Master, please calm down. Please don’t court death.

Xuan Hongyu closed the book, then said mildly, “Very good. Continue recording like this.”

Ning Shu expressionlessly replied, “Many thanks for your praise, Master.”

After a moment of hesitation, she said, “Master, since you like Miss Shangguan, shouldn’t you marry her?”

That way the fifth prince wouldn’t snatch the chance first and he wouldn’t had to eye someone else’s wife while gnashing his teeth.

Xuan Hongyu glanced at Ning Shu coldly as he berated sternly, “Presumptuous!”

Ning Shu helplessly dropped to a kneel on the ground and said, “Master, please forgive this subordinate for speaking out of turn.”

Xuan Hongyu was angry with her for giving her opinion. They weren’t people of the same status, so it was out of turn for her to even give an opinion.

Ning Shu had also internally given up trying to get Xuan Hongyu and Shangguan Qingrou together. Working hard on practicing martial arts was the true way to go. She just had to save his life once he courted death enough to be destroyed.

“Remember your own status.” Xuan Hongyu’s expression was very cold as he tossed the book to Ning Shu. Ning Shu put the book away, then headed back to the director’s residence to protect Shangguan Qingrou.

She just had to do what a hidden guard should do. There was no point getting involved in other things.

The storyline should just develop however it wanted to.

However, this mission wasn’t relaxing at all. Shangguan Qingrou liked to participate in gatherings a lot since she really liked to play and try new things. Hence Ning Shu was always running to follow Shangguan Qingrou.

At every gathering, Shangguan Qingrou would attract the attention of a bunch of men. Even if she was just on the streets or in a restaurant, she’d still encounter handsome men.

This story was simply just a collection of beautiful men.

Furthermore, these men always had favorable impressions to some degree towards Shangguan Qingrou. Even if they didn’t like her, they thought of her as a friend.

Perhaps it was because Shangguan Qingrou’s causal and unpretentious manner made these men feel that she was very novel. In this era, whenever men and women met, they were always courteous. Women were always reserved in front of men and abided by etiquette in order not to do anything lacking in manners.

Shangguan Qingrou was completely different. Her liveliness made people feel that she was very unique and she completely disregarded the difference between men and women. She’d often reach out to slap a man’s shoulder and call him ‘bro.’

That was why wherever Shangguan Qingrou went, regardless of what gathering she attended, she’d still be able to talk with men she knew.

Ning Shu felt that Shangguan Qingrou just enjoyed being surrounded by beautiful men. She enjoyed being pursued this way. Before she transmigrated, she had been an ordinary girl who wasn’t that attractive, but the moment she transmigrated, she gained the charm to attract beautiful men.

It was normal for her to be in high spirits.

Ning Shu recorded all of these things, then handed the book to Xuan Hongyu. When Xuan Hongyu saw what was recorded, a black aura seemed to emit from his body. His pupils trembled slightly. It was clear that he was very angry.

Ning Shu was inwardly filled with schadenfreude, but on the surface, she maintained an expressionless face.

As Shangguan Qingrou got to know more and more men, every time she met a guy and spoke with him, Xuan Hongyu would become unhappy. The unhappy Xuan Hongyu would go to pick faults with the men. If that man’s status wasn’t high, he’d directly do something to make that man suffer.

If his status was high, Xuan Hongyu would just quietly cause trouble in the shadows.
