Chapter 1951 - 1535: Noble, Aloof, and a Bit Silly—Style!

Almost the instant that slap rang out, the world-stunning face of Shi Wujue froze, then he immediately turned his head away, unable to bear watching...

It wasn’t that he didn’t dare look, it was just that the place Zhou Mu was hitting was really... a bit ambiguous...

Outside the guestroom door, Yuan Bao, who had been crouched on the doorframe spying together with Black Man Duo Shu ever since Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue entered, reacted even more directly. He let out a low exclamation, "Oh my god..."

Then...

Then Yuan Bao practically fell on his butt in fright and sat down on the floor...

Godfather dear Fourth Auntie Grandma, what did he just see?

Their own lord had actually spanked Lady Changsheng, hadn’t he?

And what’s more, he was spanking her butt, wasn’t he?

For a moment, Yuan Bao’s round, jade-like face no longer knew what expression it should have. His whole person was stunned as if struck by lightning...

This...

Isn’t this just a bit too much, or what?

Yuan Bao, who always wished his master would be full of masculine vigor and firmly uphold the authority of a husband, suddenly didn’t even know whether he should be happy or worried...

"Look how scared you are, haven’t you always been hoping for something like this?" Black Man Duo Shu, hidden under his black clothes, looked at Yuan Bao sitting on the ground, the corner of his mouth twitching...

This Little Eunuch really leaves people at a loss for words...

"When did I ever hope for something like this? I’m just afraid I’ll end up as the unlucky bystander who gets caught in the crossfire, okay?" At these words, Yuan Bao immediately patted his butt and scrambled up from the floor in a panic...

Not good!

This is really not good!

He’d actually witnessed Lady Changsheng getting her butt smacked. With this kind of bedroom-business having been seen, could the two of them, as peeping toms, possibly end up well?

That’s Lady Changsheng we’re talking about!

Southern Emperor Changsheng, you know?

She cares a lot about face!

In Yuan Bao’s heart, the panic was real. Wouldn’t they be the ones she took her anger out on?

If Lady Changsheng got angry, the consequences were seriously severe...

Meanwhile, just as Yuan Bao was clawing at imaginary walls in his heart, not knowing what to do, inside the guestroom, Gu Changsheng’s wails were rising and falling, endless and unbroken...

"Evildoer! Zhou Mu, you evildoer! You actually abuse a sick patient! Do you understand what a sick patient is? I’m a sick patient right now!"

Her poor butt!

Her poor face!

Gu Changsheng had never imagined that one day, her face and her butt would become synonymous!

Damn it, Shi Wujue was still in the room, and this evildoer of hers—what on earth was he doing? Just what was he doing?

Even if she’d been caught red-handed, at least wait until there was no one else around to deal with her!

This way, her 24K golden old face really couldn’t be saved!

In Gu Changsheng’s heart, the tears were flowing like a river...

"So you do know you’re sick? This prince thinks you have absolutely no awareness of being ill!" Zhou Mu snorted coldly. His long, slender hand came down again...

This little woman was honestly far too troublesome!

She was relying on the fact that he had no way to deal with her, relying on the fact that he spoiled her, and that’s why she’d become more and more lawless!

She was ill and still refused to take her medicine, she secretly ate such greasy things, and on top of that she played some beauty trap, and even went on a hunger strike in protest!

Zhou Mu truly was a bit angered by Gu Changsheng’s unreasonable behavior...

"Smack!"

"Aa-wooo..."

With each slap, Gu Changsheng’s body trembled like a flower swaying in the wind; her wails matched the slaps perfectly, one might say down to the beat...

"Evildoer, stop hitting, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, isn’t that enough? We can talk things out, talk things out peacefully..."

In the end, Gu Changsheng surrendered to her own evildoer who’d been truly provoked. She hurriedly waved the white flag and begged for mercy!

Woo...

If she didn’t beg for mercy, this old face of hers really wouldn’t be able to be picked back up!

Her poor butt...

It didn’t really hurt that much, but the psychological damage was massive...

"No more playing beauty trap?" Hearing this, Zhou Mu finally stopped his raised hand. He looked at the little woman lying over his thigh, both hands protecting her butt, his eyes dark and deep...

What he could least handle was her beauty trap!

Even without her using a beauty trap, he already couldn’t handle her; let alone when she was putting on little acts...

It was simply fatal!

"No more, no more, I wouldn’t play it again even if you beat me to death! That beauty trap stuff is totally not my style. I’m going for the noble and aloof style, nothing to do with that kind of coquettish beauty trap..." Gu Changsheng’s eyes were brimming with tears...

Beauty Sai, you’ve harmed me...

Didn’t you say men all fall for that?

How come her own evildoer just wouldn’t take the bait?

From this, one must conclude that her evildoer wasn’t a man at all!

Clearly, he was just an evildoer!

Woo...

To the side, with his back turned, Shi Wujue’s body swayed and he almost stumbled when he heard Gu Changsheng’s words...

Noble and aloof style?

Gu Changsheng is going for the noble-and-cool vibe?

Shi Wujue表示,他真是呵呵了...

"Forgive me for my poor eyesight, but I really can’t see any trace of ’noble and cool’ on you..." Zhou Mu’s mouth twitched at these words, and on that face like a Divine Residence, he had the illusion of being struck by lightning...

Shi Wujue could hold it in, but the annoyed Zhou Mu really couldn’t help tearing her down!

"Ahem..." Hearing Zhou Mu’s words, Gu Changsheng really couldn’t keep her face from collapsing. Lying over Zhou Mu’s lap, one hand covering her freshly-smacked little butt, she timidly lifted her head, looked at her own evildoer whose face still carried a hint of anger, and said awkwardly, "Then how about... I add a bit of silly to it?"

You don’t buy the pure noble-and-cool vibe, fine, but noble-and-cool with a little silly mixed in should be okay, right?

Yep, this is exactly that kind of style, exactly that kind of vibe!

"Shut up!" At Gu Changsheng’s words, Zhou Mu’s face immediately darkened as he snapped coldly.

He had to keep a straight face; he’d just given Gu Changsheng’s butt a spanking. If he burst out laughing because of a few lines from her, that’d be way too embarrassing!

Gu Changsheng is someone who doesn’t care about face, but Zhou Mu is someone who does!

Zhou Mu’s hand lifted again, making as if to come down once more!

"Don’t hit! Don’t hit! I’ll shut up! I’ll shut up!"

Seeing Zhou Mu’s raised palm, Gu Changsheng still felt a bit flustered inside...

She had to admit, Gu Changsheng was very good at reading the situation. Never mind that she was injured right now and absolutely couldn’t beat this evildoer in front of her—Gu Changsheng felt that even if she weren’t injured and they really went at it for real, she might still not be this evildoer’s match!

It’s fine when her own evildoer isn’t mad, but once he does get mad, Gu Changsheng feels she’s instantly out of luck!

A wise man doesn’t suffer a loss right in front of him!

Gu Changsheng felt that she was a smart person!

One hand protecting her butt, the other clamped over her mouth, Gu Changsheng blinked her big eyes and stared at Zhou Mu, whose aura was icy cold, her heart beating a little fast...

Oh my god, how did she end up caught red-handed?

If she were given another chance, Gu Changsheng patted her own 36E chest and swore she would absolutely not eat chicken!

That’s just how it is!

Looking at the little woman in front of him, no matter how big his temper was, Zhou Mu’s anger evaporated in seconds...

He was truly, completely helpless when it came to Gu Changsheng!

"So you’re not going on a hunger strike in protest anymore?" His deep voice like aged wine, Zhou Mu withdrew his hand and sighed.

"Do I still have to keep my mouth shut?" Gu Changsheng asked in a pitiful, delicate tone.

"No!" Zhou Mu replied irritably.

"I’m not going on a hunger strike in protest anymore. For someone like me, who gets starving if I miss even one meal, and gets all jittery if I don’t eat well, a hunger strike protest is just way too hard for me..." Having been given the ****-off order, Gu Changsheng immediately started chattering.

Damn it, she’d never actually planned on going on a hunger strike!

Didn’t you see how happily she’d been eating that chicken?

Off to the side, Shi Wujue watched the two of them, listened to their completely oblivious banter, his eyes lowering slightly. His snow-white hair fell down, hiding the disappointment in his eyes...

These two people seemed to form a world of their own...

So this is what they call mutual love?

It’s a pity that the one she loves is Zhou Mu, and not him...

A pity it’s not him...

And, it can never be him...

His black brocade robe slowly receded into the shadows of the guest room. Shi Wujue suddenly didn’t want to stay here anymore; he didn’t want to watch Zhou Mu and Gu Changsheng interacting...

Even though he knew Zhou Mu and Gu Changsheng weren’t deliberately trying to show off how much they loved each other right in front of him, Shi Wujue’s heart still hurt...

That kind of pain clung to him like a shadow, wearing him down drop by drop...

He slipped soundlessly out of the guest room, leaving all the space to those two. Shi Wujue’s departing back looked indescribably lonely and desolate...

"City Lord..." Black Man Duo Shu watched his own City Lord walk out and called out softly.

Shi Wujue said nothing, just waved his hand to tell him not to speak, then left in desolation...

Yuan Bao blinked his big eyes at Shi Wujue’s suddenly departing figure, thought for a bit, then suddenly saw the light. He felt he’d better run!

If he didn’t run now, he’d be waiting around to be on the receiving end of some venting anger!

But just as Yuan Bao decided to bolt, a tall, slender figure appeared at the guest room door and said in a deep voice, "Yuan Bao!"

Yuan Bao’s body froze mid-escape, and he turned around with a bitter face to look at his master, on the verge of tears. "Master..."

Why call him?

Does he have to let Lady Changsheng inside know he’d been peeking? Sob sob...

"Go take all the food in that room and throw it out!"

Zhou Mu’s low command rang out...

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Changsheng’s wail echoed from inside the guest room. "Evildoer! It’s one thing for you to hit a patient, but you even dock the patient’s meals! Do you have any humanity left! Sob sob..."

Hearing this, Yuan Bao’s mouth twitched. Honestly, he also felt that since his master had already hit her and lectured her, to not let Lady Changsheng eat now was going a bit too far...

After all, Lady Changsheng was still injured, wasn’t she?

Yuan Bao wanted to open his mouth to say a few words in her defense, but before he could speak, Zhou Mu’s words cut him off...

"Go get some light, bland food instead!"

After saying this, Zhou Mu even shot Yuan Bao a particularly accusatory look!

Yuan Bao was really getting more and more out of line; didn’t he know that his Lady Changsheng was still injured, and he still dared to bring her something as greasy as roast chicken?

Feeling his master’s gaze, Yuan Bao shivered sharply, wronged to the core in his heart!

So this is somehow all his fault now?
