Chapter 181: Chapter 181

Yun Ran was somewhat angry, glaring at him fiercely, "Why do you care? Just tell me, are you him?"

The man curled his lips with grace, "No."

"I don’t believe it! Unless you take off your mask!"

The man scooped a spoonful of porridge, blew on it, then brought it to her lips and said slowly, "Seeing my face means you have to become my three hundred and first concubine, are you sure about that?"

[To hell with your three hundred and first concubine! Damned concubine!]

Yun Ran was speechless, "Just shut your mouth!"

He took the chance to feed her the porridge, his thin lips curling into an alluring smile, "If I’m not Nangong Mo, would you divorce him and marry me?"

"It’s really not difficult to know your identity. I know you’re called Lin Wanyue, and that you’re a savage, violent little spendthrift who uses sacks to store silver and bricks to hit people."

The man looked at her murderous little face and lightly scratched her nose with his finger, "If you’ve thought it through and won’t regret it, I’ll take off the mask for you to see."

Yun Ran was just about to speak but was silenced by his finger lightly pressing on her lips, as he laughed, "Don’t rush to respond, and don’t think of playing rogue with me. If you nod, then from heaven to earth, the ends of the world, you won’t shake me off."

[How did this bastard know what she was thinking?!]

[Originally, she wanted to use a compromise to see his face before deciding...]

Someone: Heh... This grandmaster knows! I know everything!

Raising an eyebrow, the man spoke calmly, "If you plan to trick me into removing the mask then leave, I’ll go kill Nangong Mo and bring you back to my house, locked in the courtyard."

Full of frustration, Yun Ran looked at him for a while, then squeezed three words out from between her teeth: "Die, pervert!"

Unfazed, the man smiled, "Say, if I kill Nangong Mo, will you cry?"

"Won’t cry? You don’t like him?"

The man shook his head with a light sigh, "Women, so heartless!"

Yun Ran looked at him with a frosty gaze, her tone icy, "Yes! Please hurry and kill him!"

"He has guards around him as skilled as clouds, assassinating him might be tricky, better to poison him."

"I can give you a pack of poison; it’s colorless, tasteless, and fatal on contact. As long as you find a way to sneak into the mansion and get close to him, sprinkle it from a distance, and he’ll be gone."

Under the mask, the man’s handsome face stiffened, cold sweat dripping as he slightly twitched a corner of his mouth.

Heartless, dead girl! How thorough she has thought it through!

"Lin Wanyue, you’re inciting murder, plotting to kill your husband!"

Yun Ran coldly laughed, raising an eyebrow, "What if I am?"

"Tell me, have you really shifted your feelings and taken a liking to me?"

The girl’s beautiful face was full of disdain and annoyance, "Even if I shifted my feelings, it wouldn’t be for you."

"Then who do you like?"

Yun Ran looked at his eyes without expression, her red lips curved slightly as she slowly let out three words:

However, he didn’t seem to react much, the mask covered his expression, but his eyes seemed calm? Unlike Nangong Mo, who would grind his teeth fiercely and look intensely red every time he heard Shen Mubai’s name.

Yun Ran slightly frowned, could it be, really not him?

Unbeknownst to her, inside, the man’s heart was stormy, his handsome face furious, yet his eyes remained calm and collected, even showing some disdain:

"Lin Wanyue, your taste is really poor!"

"That Shen Mubai is really no good, his martial arts are so bad it’s unbearable, and you actually like him?"

"Even though Nangong Mo is blind and crippled, not as good as I am, he’s still a bit better than Shen Mubai; though your eyes are pretty, I must say your judgment is terrible."

[Never has she felt so urgently, so strongly, like wanting to kill someone!]

The man coughed lightly, pressed his thin lips, "Come, drink the porridge, it’ll be cold soon, I personally cooked it."

Yun Ran ended up finishing a bowl of porridge, no need to upset her own stomach.

Finally, she gave him a review, "It tastes awful! Even my dog’s cooking is better."

The first time he cooked porridge for a girl he liked, and got this review? Worse than a dog?

The man’s mouth twitched slightly and looked at her somewhat resentfully, "Is your dog a spirit?"

Yun Ran snorted coldly, not wanting to respond. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel★fire.net

"Wait, when I bring over the chicken soup, it’ll make you drool."

When the man reached the door, he turned, a gust of wind flew over and unblocked Yun Ran’s acupoint.

"Don’t move around, be obedient."

In response, Yun Ran grabbed a book from the bedside and threw it at him.

The man raised a hand to catch the book, put it in his chest, shook his head, "Such a fiery little lady!"

Yun Ran gritted her teeth inwardly at his back:

[Bastard, if you don’t take off your mask, I’ll turn Nangong Mo into a dog!]

The man’s step hesitated, the corner of his mouth twisted, feeling somewhat aggrieved.

Why is it that when the dead girl swears, he ends up being the injured one?

Shen Weixi still went to the General’s Mansion to inform them and had someone carry Shen Mubai back from the mountain.

When Mrs. Shen saw the battered and bruised Shen Mubai, she cried tears of distress.

"Which damned bastard beat you ? Do they really think there’s no one in our General’s Mansion?"

Yu Qingyan subconsciously looked at Shen Weixi, only to be frightened back by Shen Weixi’s murderous glare.

She quickly lowered her head, twisting her handkerchief and whispered, "Mother, we encountered an assassin."

Shen Weixi quickly took over the conversation, "Oh yes! That assassin was really fierce! Not only did they have all sorts of strange smoke bombs and poisons, but they could also release snakes and control venomous bugs."

"You see, third brother’s face covered in soot is from the assassin’s smoke bomb, and those injuries on his body are from the assassin."

Mrs. Shen was indignant and heartbroken, "Those damned scoundrels, so vicious! Look how swollen his eyes are, and his face too."

Shen Weixi touched her nose, "Aunt, I’ll go find a doctor to check on third brother, in case any bones are broken."

"Alright, Weixi, you hurry."

Before leaving, Shen Weixi gave Yu Qingyan a warning glare, scaring her into a shiver, she silently shook her head at her, as if saying: I absolutely won’t reveal your misdeeds!

Mrs. Shen sat by the bed, looking at Shen Mubai, silently shedding tears.

"Mubai, I know you’re a good child with strong feelings and loyalty, but from now on, you mustn’t go to the West Mountain to visit Mrs. Bai anymore."

"You are already engaged to Qing’er, and with her, your affinity ends in this lifetime, from now on you should be strangers, with no further ties."
