Chapter 312: Ample Charred Taste (1/2)
Pei Qingfeng became even angrier after seeing Bai Luochu’s expressionless face and could no longer control himself. “Oh?! I didn’t know that First Brother had such a great understanding of Divine Physician Bai. It is no wonder the two of you are one the same private boat.”
Pei Qingfeng’s words had the same impact as sacrificing 800 of his own men to kill 1000 enemies. If Pei Rumo was boating on the lake because of his close relationship with Bai Luochu, Pei Qingfeng wouldn’t be able to explain why he was doing the same with Ling Xian’er. It was obvious Pei Qingfeng wasn’t able to think straight because of his jealousy.
Even though the jealousy in the air was obvious, Bai Luochu’s brain seemed to be damaged as she ignored Pei Qingfeng’s words as she turned to leave.
A single action from her caused a huge problem.
Bai Luochu was used to walking casually in her casual outfit and she usually walked with large strides. Because of her current getup, she stepped on the hem of her dress and staggered when turning around. After losing her balance, she almost fell off the private boat.
“Luoluo!” When Pei Qingfeng saw Bai Luochu in danger, he disregarded Ling Xian’er and immediately called out his intimate nickname for Bai Luochu. He got ready to charge over to save her but luckily for everyone, she didn’t fall into the water.
Even though there was a distance between the two private boats and Pei Qingfeng had formidable movement skills, she was on Pei Rumo’s boat. With Pei Rumo standing a step or two away from her, he simply reached out to prevent her from falling.
Bai Luochu felt a sense of foreboding when she stepped on her dress. If she fell into the lake, hypothermia would be the least of her worries. She cursed in her heart: This is all Cai Ling’s fault! If not for her insistence to dress me up, I wouldn’t trip over myself!
Before Pei Rumo heard Pei Qingfeng’s intimate address, he already noticed something wrong with Bai Luochu. However, he moved half a second late and barely managed to catch her before she fell overboard. Luckily for him, he was agile and he managed to pull her back in time. Due to the large inertia, he fell backwards after pulling her back.
Bai Luochu prepared to face the chilly water but she felt her head spinning before falling back onto the deck. When she felt that she fell on something soft, she couldn’t help but doubt herself.
Bai Luochu opened her eyes and used her hand to prop herself up. After pushing on the soft ground several times, she realized that she was pressing down on Pei Rumo!
Bai Luochu looked down and saw Pei Rumo’s mocking smile. A wave of embarrassment washed over her and she tried to stand up. Too bad for her, Pei Rumo held her tightly, preventing her from standing up.
Bai Luochu wasn't used to seeing Pei Rumo like this and immediately asked, “How long more does Your First Highness want to lie on the deck?”
