Chapter 303: Two Beauties Side by Side (1/2)
Pei Qingfeng remained calm and glanced at his personal guard. As though he felt a blade pointed at him, the personal guard felt all his hair stand on its end.
In order to prevent his master from sending him to the netherworld then and there, the personal guard knew what he had to do, “Young Lady Luo Chu, don’t be in a hurry. My Master will explain everything to you.”
Bai Luochu felt that Pei Qingfeng was a husband who was caught cheating and was trying to explain to his wife his wrongdoings.
The moment the thought flashed across her mind, she shook her head to get it out of her mind. What the hell am I thinking about?! She was silently shocked that such an inappropriate thought entered her mind.
When Pei Qingfeng saw that his personal guard was helping him, he received a confidence boost and continued, “Luoluo, I know that whatever I say now won’t be able to convince you, but you need to know that I am forced to do it. The relationship between me and that young lady isn’t what you think it is. Please leave it alone and once I can be sure that you won’t be dragged into it, I will tell you everything.”
When the sunlight landed on Pei Qingfeng’s face, a golden radiance enveloped it. Pei Qingfeng, who already had the face of a prideful flower in the mountains, was given an additional divine glow by the sunlight. His pair of black eyes were like the darkness in the night and they portrayed the depth of his resolution. Apart from that, Bai Luochu could see her reflection in Pei Qingfeng’s eyes.
This was the first time Bai Luochu noticed her looks. Moreover, she saw reflection in Pei Qingfeng’s eyes. The Bai Luochu in Pei Qingfeng’s eyes wasn’t the same as the one she had thought herself to be. The Bai Luochu in Pei Qingfeng’s eyes was more womanly and exuded a tender and exquisite aura.
Could it be because of his eyes? Bai Luochu looked into Pei Qingfeng’s eyes again and she suddenly realized this was the first time she saw herself through his eyes. There was a feeling of hope that she would believe him, but there was something else… She wasn’t able to put a finger on it...
Pei Qingfeng’s eyes could only be described with four words... gentle, passion, love, and reluctance. Bai Luochu had seen those eyes before and they were Lu Wenshu’s. There was only one difference, she wasn’t able to see herself in Lu Wenshu’s eyes. Compared to Pei Qingfeng’s eyes which were filled with her, Lu Wenshu’s eyes seemed rather different.
Bai Luochu turned her gaze and knew that if she continued to look into his eyes, something would emerge in her heart. There was a string in her mind on the verge of snapping.
No! I can’t keep thinking about it! Bai Luochu told herself. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths before agreeing, “Fine, I believe you. I shall wait for you to tell me everything. Is that good enough?”
After Bai Luochu spoke, she didn’t dare to raise her head to look at Pei Qingfeng. She was afraid, afraid that she wouldn’t be able to withhold her budding emotions. She was afraid that those thoughts would emerge and bloom into a giant flower. She was afraid that she would be unable to remove Pei Qingfeng from her mind.
Bai Luochu missed out on a beautiful scene because of her fear. A brilliant smile containing the warmth of a thousand suns bloomed on Pei Qingfeng’s face when he heard her agreement.
