Chapter 159: Sad and Depressed (1/2)

After Qianqian was dragged away by her mother, Pei Qingfeng turned to Bai Luochu and sniggered. “Divine Physician Bai is really lucky. You managed to put on such a great show for me!” Pei Qingfeng smiled. He wanted to see how this lass would defend herself after making use of him.

How could Bai Luochu not understand that Pei Qingfeng had already seen through her tiny scheme? Well, no matter what, Bai Luochu wasn’t going to admit her involvement in the plan. She laughed it off, “My cousin is young, slow-witted, and rude. Your Second Highness must be really amused. I am the one at fault for disturbing your rest. I hope that you will forgive me.

Pei Qingfeng sneered and glanced at Bai Luochu. He started to tease her again. “You’re still trying to deceive me… Do you think that I can’t see through your intention?”

Pei Qingfeng wasn’t willing to expose Bai Luochu and she pretended to be innocent. “What does Your Second Highness mean? I don’t understand.”

“Heh, do you think I’m blind? You obviously used me as your weapon. You find Qianqian annoying but you don’t feel like dealing with her personally. You beat her at her own game and made use of me to teach her a lesson. You even made use of her feelings towards me to get even with her. You knew that I would break her heart if I stood up for you… I never expected Divine Physician Bai to be adept at using schemes as well.”

When Bai Luochu saw that Pei Qingfeng was aware of her plot, she didn’t want to waste anymore time. Instead, she replied bluntly, “Since Your Second Highness already guessed it, why did you willingly act out this show? Didn’t you achieve your goal as well?”

Bai Luochu walked over to the table where she used to refine medicine in an unhurried manner. She carefully sorted out the medicine meant for Pei Qingfeng.

“Oh? Is Divine Physician Bai a roundworm in my stomach now? How is my acting?” When Pei Qingfeng saw that Bai Luochu was still so composed, Pei Qingfeng felt rather curious. She was just a young lass. Putting aside the fact that she was able to predict his reaction, she even made him willingly act out a wonderful show for Qianqian.

“Does Your Second Highness wish to know?” Bai Luochu stopped what she was doing and smiled at Pei Qingfeng.

When he nodded, Bai Luochu placed down the medicine in her hand and she helped him onto a chair. “Since Your Second Highness is willing to listen, I can’t hide the truth any longer. After interacting with Your Second Highness for some time, I realized that you hate dealing with women. I also knew about Qianqian’s feelings towards you. I knew that if she were to see you, she would be deeply concerned about your well-being. Furthermore, your injuries have yet to heal and she wouldn’t be able to take advantage of you.”

“Finally… It seems like Your Second Highness is unaware. Every time you fail to take advantage of me, you will vent your frustration on someone else. Am I right?”
