Chapter 27

Mu Ge stopped in her tracks as well and looked at him in confusion.

That dazed gaze with the clear and slightly cold eyes made Qin Jinhao’s heart skip a beat for some reason, disrupting the disciplined rhythm. It seemed like this face that always looked mesmerized by him was not so hateful after all.

“What’s not so good about that?” asked Mu Ge in confusion. They were just walking on the streets. Was she so ugly that she ruined the appearance of the place or the Kingdom of Qin had a law that stated that Mu family’s Little Lord was not allowed to walk on the streets in broad daylight?

Mu Ge’s rhetorical question made Qin Jinhao recover his senses. He did not immediately answer her, but knit his brows slightly as if he was unhappy about his previous loss of control.

Seeing that Prince Rui was silent, Bai Xiyue’s eyes turned and she inched closer to the duo. She said to Mu Ge, “Brother Mu, do you not remember your reputation in Luo Du?”

Reputation?

Mu Ge’s gaze shifted to Bai Xiyue and she knitted her brows slightly. She said in a mocking tone, “My reputation? That I’m arrogant and domineering? Afraid of the strong and bully the weak? Or that I have a weird temper and I lose it very easily? Perhaps… that I like men?” When Mu Ge mentioned the last point, her gaze seemingly landed on Qin Jinhao.

“Brother Mu, why would you say that about yourself?” Bai Xiyue covered her mouth in shock and a layer of mist filled her eyes, as if Mu Ge was describing her.

Qin Jinhao’s body stiffened when he heard Mu Ge’s last sentence and fury flashed across his cold face. However, he hid it too well and people who did not undergo strict training would definitely not see it.

“Qingge, you’re talking nonsense again. How will an outsider understand our brotherhood? Don’t let some rumors affect our mood.” Qin Jinhao forcefully suppressed his disgust and smiled.

His sentence seemed more normal than ever, but if one thought about it carefully, it could leave one broken-hearted. Luckily she was not the real Mu Qingge who would be secretly hurt by his words that seemed to help the situation.

It was a pity for the devoted lonely soul beside her.

“That’s right! Brother Mu, I wasn’t talking about those disgusting rumors just now. Did you forget Brother Mu? You have the reputation of being the top beauty in Luo Du. Look, everyone has been looking at you once you stepped out. Prince Rui was just worried that you’ll be in a bad mood, so…”

“Are you sure they’re not looking at you? I’m just a rich man’s son, what top beauty in Luo Du? Hah, what a joke,” interrupted Mu Ge impatiently. At the same time, she made Little Green Tea’s eyes filled with tears and she bit her lips in indignance.

Bai Xiyue gently stomped her feet hidden under her skirt, as she bit her lips and coyly said, “Brother Mu, you’re making fun of me. How can I be compared to you? Besides, I’m using a mesh to cover my face. How will anyone know how I look like?” Her natural flirtish look was akin to a flower petal with morning dew, which made Qin Jinhao’s heart tingle.

“You might not know this, but sometimes the mysterious appearance behind the mask can attract someone’s attention even more.” Mu Ge laughed flirtily as she raised her eyebrows towards Bai Xiyue.

Bai Xiyue’s face flushed red and when she looked at the surrounding gazes, they really did seem to be looking at her instead of Mu Qingge.

“The restaurant in front is not bad. Let’s go there to rest. When Qingge decides on what she wants, we’ll head over to get it.” Qin Jinhao suddenly made a decision and walked towards the restaurant at the road intersection first, without letting anyone raise an objection.

Bai Xiyue looked at Mu Ge, before glancing at Qin Jinhao. Finally, she bit her lips and followed them.

Looking at the back view of the two people leaving, Mu Ge asked in an almost inaudible voice, “What’s that about the top beauty in Luo Du?”
