Chapter 361 – Drinking Vinegar (4) (2/2)
Ning Xuemo swiftly turned around and no longer paid attention to him. Her sight landed on Brother Meng’s face. “Brother Meng is as elegant and at ease as a jade tree, a giant among men…”
Brother Meng’s face became ashen. He pretended to laugh. “Marquess Ning is overpraising me. This one doesn’t deserve it.”
“You do deserve it. I have never seen a person who was as unusually handsome as you.” Ning Xuemo’s intelligent eyes made contact with Brother Meng’s asymmetrical eyes. “Brother Meng, why is it that the more I look, the more you seemed to stand out from the masses?”
Brother Meng, who possessed a large and a small eye, became white as paper. “This humble one… This humble one…”
“No need to be modest Brother Meng. Later I, Xuemo, will certainly speak a few words of praise for you in front of the emperor…”
She was not yet done speaking when Brother Meng quickly withdrew as his face turned green. “This humble one cannot afford it. I am a flawed person. Marquess Ning just doesn’t know…”
“Ha? What flaws do you possess?” Ning Xuemo took two steps forward. Her big eyes blinked.
“I-I snore and grind my teeth in my sleep! A-and my feet smell!” Brother Meng blurted out in one breath all of his shortcomings. When he was done, Ning Xuemo stayed expressionless, but the other girls couldn’t refrain themselves from backing away and moved a bit farther from him.
Ning Xuemo observed him before speaking softly, “Snoring and grinding one’s teeth are such manly things. As for the smelly feet… With frequent washing, it couldn’t be considered as a big shortcoming.”
Brother Meng simply wanted to cry. He took his courage and said, “I have a farting problem…”
This time, not only did the young ladies distanced themselves from him, even the other young masters followed suit.”
Ning Xuemo sighed lightly, “How unfortunate…” She finally let him off.
Brother Meng and the now recovered Brother Huang both revealed expressions as if they had escaped from life-threatening danger. They glanced at each other. Brother Meng wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, wishing to continue fooling around with the Prime Minister’s daughter who he was infatuated with.
