Chapter 376: He’s Not in Time

Chapter 376

Mu Nanfeng's head was buzzing after being hit. He was just about to curse out loud, but when he raised his head and saw Zhao Changdu's handsome face that could kill without blinking, he immediately closed his mouth.

Zhao Changdu's eyes glanced over indifferently, giving people an invisible sense of pressure. With such a strong aura, even the King of Heaven would feel apprehensive in his heart. Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

Mu Nanfeng had heard of his methods in the military. At this moment, he was already somewhat shaken, resenting why he had taken this damn job. Not only did he not make any money, but he also offended this killing god.

Zhao Changdu's tone was flat, but it made people feel a chill. "If you tell me now, I can spare you some physical suffering."

Mu Nanfeng said with a wry smile, "Young Master Zhao, I really don't know her name or where she is from! I only know that she is very beautiful, especially her eyes, they are exactly the same as Madam Zhao's. When she came, she was wearing a veil and I only saw her eyes clearly in the dim light, nothing else! If I'm lying to you, may I be sliced into a thousand pieces!"

Gu Ying frowned. "Where is she from?"

Mu Nanfeng quickly said, "From her accent she sounds like she is from Bianjing. She was with a man in black who was also masked. He seems to be highly skilled in martial arts and was specifically protecting her on the way here."

Zhao Changdu's brows furrowed tightly. "Any other characteristics?"

Mu Nanfeng shook his head. "No, but if there was anything else I wouldn't dare hide it from Young Master Zhao and Young Master Ye. What happened this time was indeed my fault. I guarantee that in the future I will never dare to touch a single hair of Madam Zhao or her sister—"

Ye Qingchi scoffed and kicked over viciously, "There's still a future for you?"

Mu Nanfeng bent over in pain. Looking at Zhao Changdu's cold handsome face, he didn't dare say another word. He only said, "That's all, that's all. I beg Young Master Zhao and Young Master Ye to spare my life. This little brother will definitely leave Bianjing far away!"

Ye Qingchi was surprised. "What?"

Mu Nanfeng pulled at his neck and said, "I didn't dare touch Fourth Young Lady. Young Master Ye can ask Madam Zhao if you don't believe me!"

Ye Qingchi turned to Gu Ying for confirmation. "Ying...Is what he said true?"

Gu Ying nodded. "He did not get the chance."

Gu Ying curled the corners of her lips. "Okay, listen to Du."

Only then did Zhao Changdu's handsome brows relax somewhat.

Mu Nanfeng: "......"

Qin happily watched the loving couple and turned to nudge Ye Qingchi. "Chi, what are you still dazing around for? Quick, get the carriage ready to go!"

That feeling of losing control welled up again. Ye Qingchi's thin lips tightened as he left the woodshed with a tense jaw.

He didn't know why, but his feet brought him to stand outside Gu Shuang's room.

Today was a sunny day. Last night it had rained coldly on Luoxia Mountain for half the night and the ground was still a little damp. A row of green vines hung under the eaves. A lovely oriole perched on a branch, cocking its little head.

The window was slightly open, letting in a wisp of soft light into the room. Without needing to peer in, one could see the red sandalwood dressing table, bronze mirror, rouge and jewelry scattered inside, traces of a young lady everywhere.

This room was specially arranged by his mother for her daughter-in-law. She had bought this manor, and was always nagging him and his father that when he got married, their family of four could come here to relax and enjoy themselves for a few days.

And now, Gu Shuang was staying inside.

Ye Qingchi didn't know what he was thinking. He only knew that in many long sleepless nights, Gu Shuang's shadow had appeared in his dreams.

She was dressed in a red bridal gown, sitting on the big red canopy bed waiting for him, as obedient and sensible as she always was.

Drunk, he staggered into the bridal chamber, lifting her veil under the candlelight.

When her trembling eyes looked up at him, he lowered his head to kiss her soft lips.

She was extremely shy, her gentle doe-like eyes filled with a misty fog, as she timidly raised her hands to untie his belt for him.
