Beiming Xuan suddenly turned hostile.

That change of countenance reminded Ruan Jiujiu of her previous disrespectful “flirting” acts. She scolded herself silently for failure to take her itchy fingers away from Beiming Xuan’s chest muscle. Then she put on a fawning smile and said: “My lord, I’m sorry for having caused you so much trouble. It was so ignorant of me not to recognize such a great person like you. A great man rarely harbors grievance against wrongs of a nobody like me.”

Beiming Xuan was not swayed by her clever talk. Ruan Jiujiu looked at her feet as she said in a low voice: “That was because of you.”

“What did you say?” Beiming Xuan’s untamed anger was once again aroused. He glared at Ruan Jiujiu as if he was going to kill her immediately.

Ruan Jiujiu shook her hands and said: “That was because you are so handsome!”

Beiming Xuan hesitated.

Nobody had ever dared to make comments on his appearance. It was so bold of this silly girl.

If someone had the audacity to compliment Beiming Xuan in that way, he was definitely courting his death. However, moved by Ruan Jiujiu’s innocence, Beiming Xuan could not help becoming soft-hearted in front of her.

Was she bad-looking? That would be going too far. However, she was by no means a beauty. Though being all skin and bone, she had good-looking eyes. And the pureness in her eyes touched Beiming Xuan deeply.

Pureness? He couldn’t believe that he might have the opportunity to know what pureness was like from such a slovenly girl. He had been deprived of pureness since he was born.

He felt delighted to get in touch with such pureness.

“My lord, I’m an orphan girl. People in the Ruan Mansion treat me badly. And my only younger sister is very anxious to kill me. I would very much appreciate it if you can take me in.” Ruan Jiujiu spoke in an earnest tone. Actually, she didn’t want to follow Beiming Xuan at all. However, she took careful consideration and found it the best choice for her at present and in the future.

At the moment, only through cheating Beiming Xuan into the belief that she would do no harm could she have the opportunity to survive. In the future, if she returned to the capital, she might encounter all sorts of bad characters due to Beiming Xuan’s complicated social network. However, she could also be protected by Beiming Xuan’s position of strength.

“Why do I have to take you in?” Beiming Xuan squinted his eyes.

By no chance would he let her be free. And if she was of no use, he would definitely kill her.

“I am of big use. I possess medical skills and also do poison research. What’s more, I can wait on you!” Ruan Jiujiu grinned at Beiming Xuan, with a fawning smile on her face.

“Wait on me?” Beiming Xuan cast a glance at Ruan Jiujiu’s leg. It was still hooked to his waist. “Are you serious?”

“Indeed! I came to wait on you, my lord.” Ruan Jiujiu put on a sweet smile while she was cursing silently. With her foot gently caressing his body, she spoke in a soft voice: “Would you like to have a try?”

“Ruan Jiujiu!” Beiming Xuan’s eyes blazed with fury.

The trace of a smile appeared at the corner of Ruan Jiujiu’s mouth. She was satisfied.

Beiming Xuan got enraged, which was exactly what Ruan Jiujiu hoped for. Beiming Xuan was actually pure in thought when it came to sex. As long as she could manipulate his thought, she would definitely escape from being killed by him.

“My lord, the toxin has just been eliminated. You could feel better if I give you a massage and improve your blood circulation.”

“A massage?” Beiming Xuan squinted at Ruan Jiujiu.

Ruan Jiujiu couldn’t help but get furious inwardly. What did he mean by being skeptical?

Giving a massage was such a basic medical practice in traditional Chinese medicine that it required no more than the ability to be familiar with the acupuncture point. It was no exaggeration to say that she excelled both in grasping remarkable medical skills and doing poison research in Group Nine. She was proficient both in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine.

She didn’t give a damn when others spoke ill of her character. However, she would get mad if her professional skills were looked down upon.

“Take off your clothes, and lie on your stomach.”

Finally, Beiming Xuan followed Ruan Jiujiu’s instructions as if his mind was possessed by some evil spirits. Ruan Jiujiu did not talk big. Although not an expert, she could locate those acupuncture points unerringly. In addition, she would concentrate all efforts on her work as soon as she got started.
