Chapter 89 - It’s Rusty, Can It Still be Used? (2/2)

Jiang Shaocheng glanced around indifferently. The noise was making him frustrated. “He met them all at the exhibition, so I don’t think this counts as being popular.” If he had known that Yin Shulai would be hosting such a tedious gathering, he wouldn’t have brought Tang Qiu here at all.

Hearing his unfriendly tone, Tang Qiu was puzzled. “Do you know Yin Shulai well?”

“No.”

“Oh.” Her husband was probably uncomfortable in this lively atmosphere, but it would be rude of them to leave after being extended a courteous invitation by Yin Shulai. “Why don’t we go out for a walk and admire the flowers?”

“Okay.” Jiang Shaocheng nodded.

Tang Qiu got up and pushed him to the garden. He Lei, who was standing at the back, saw them leaving and was about to follow when he was stopped by Yin Shu.

“Your young master still hasn’t abandoned his charade after getting a wife? Does he still know how to fight after not being in battle for decades?”

His insinuation was hardly subtle. He Lei wanted to retort, but an idea struck him. He plastered a look of doubt on his face. “It’s hard to say. I intend to get some props and films for my young master to watch and learn.”

Yin Shulai was amused. “Your young master is given to cold abstinence, and not much else. I’ve always wondered if ice runs in his veins in place of blood. He wants to live a married life after the wedding, so he’s sharpening his spear at the last minute. It’ll only hurt his pride if his skills aren’t up to standard, so you need to pay extra attention to this matter. If all else fails, I can give him a lesson.”

The sheer audacity made He Lei facepalm.

Yin Shulai placed his arm on his shoulder and asked curiously, “What does your young mistress look like, to be able to tempt Jiang Shaocheng?”

“My young mistress is indeed attractive, but I think what makes her so special is that her mind just operates differently from everyone else’s. She’s even willing to kiss my young master when he has his human skin mask on. I admire her mental fortitude,” He Lei said with admiration.

Yin Shulai clicked his tongue, his curiosity heightened. “Why don’t I do him a favor tonight… for his pleasure?”

“I doubt that’s a good idea,” He Lei replied skeptically.

“It won’t be anything that hurts your young master. I have a few things lying around here that can let him remember what it was like to be a groom again.”

“Mr Yin, if you have any ill intentions, I advise you to stop now. You know how terrifying my young master is when he’s angry.” The thought alone made He Lei shudder.

Yin Shulai pursed his lips. “I’m helping him. Why should he be angry?”
