Chapter 537: His Highness Duke of Qin’s been tamed (2/2)
In response, Han Yunxi steeled her heart and actually stood on her tiptoes to grab Long Feiye by the neck and pull his face down. Then she firmly locked her lips over his.
Long Feiye was stunned motionless…
This wasn’t the first time this woman had chosen to be proactive, but he found himself completely helpless to resist her. The same man who controlled everything and remained calm in all situations found himself at a loss in this situation, even when it concerned himself. Actually, all Han Yunxi did was capture his lips. She didn’t even probe any deeper, but he was already frozen in shock, allowing her to do as she wished.
“Long Feiye, are you still angry?” she murmured with their lips locked.
“I’m…not angry,” he said, extremely obedient.
“You bullied me on purpose!” she accused him.
“I…” he actually fell silent in agreement.
“Jerk!” Han Yunxi cursed him. She was about to push him aside when Long Feiye’s hand rested on her back and drew her closer. This time, he was far gentler than before when he kissed her, so she didn’t struggle.
Their kiss was fine, exquisite, and drawn out, filled with tender feelings like water and the perfect willingness of both parties. Stormy emotions spoke of passion, but peaceful feelings like this were a different realm of enjoyment enough to make one forget oneself.
Finally, Long Feiye left a light kiss on Han Yunxi’s forehead before he stopped, even though she refused to let go of his neck. The two of them met gazes, her bashful and amused, he helpless yet finding it all laughable. His arm settled around her waist before he said, “Let’s go.”
She recalled how docile he’d been just a moment ago and suddenly discovered a secret: actually, it was very simple to make this man obedient! Thinking up to here, she snorted in laughter.
“What are you laughing about?” Long Feiye was already less docile than before.
“I’m happy!” she admitted openly, before silently committing the secret to memory. Long Feiye, if you bully me again next time, I won’t let you off either!
On the way back, Han Yunxi bought a face veil to cover up her swollen lips so she could lift her head normally again. The first people they saw upon reaching their room was Tang Li and Chu Xifeng standing guard at the doors.
“Your Highness, Gu Qishao and Lady Lianxin are both inside,” Chu Xifeng said in a low voice.
Gu Qishao had already been waiting for ages, while Lady Lianxian had only arrived recently. Long Feiye long guessed that Lady Lianxin would show up for Mu Yingdong’s sake, but there was no need for Gu Qishao anymore now that the Grand Medicine Testing Convention was over. As for the rerun of the competition, Wang Gong would definitely give Long Feiye an invitation too.
Once they entered the room, Long Feiye had hardly opened his mouth before the black-robed Gu Qishao asked, “Poison lass, what happened to your face?”
“I’ve caught a chill, so I’m sheltering from the wind.” Han Yunxi tugged on the veil that even covered up her nose.
Lady Lianxin stood up. Compared to before, her haughty attitude had diminished significantly. She had to ask them for help, after all; moreover, now that Han Yunxi was the Pill King’s disciple, the differences between them in the medical world was incomparable.
“Your Highness Duke of Qin, esteemed wangfei, this one has a matter to discuss with you. I respectfully ask that…” Lady Lianxin trailed off without saying it outright, but it was clear that she wanted Gu Qishao gone.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qishao simply sat grandly off to the side with a cold laugh. “You’re simply here to ask for favors and plea mercy for Mu Yingdong. What does that count for?”
Lady Lianxin was greatly alarmed. Does Gu Qi Sha know something? Or did Han Yunxi already found out what happened in the past? Mu Yingdong had said that Han Yunxi was the one who took away Mute Granny, but Mute Granny didn’t know much. When the old woman was in contact with Mu Xin, she couldn’t read, so she found a servant girl to help her with the letters. That was how Mu Yingdong had found out about the things Mu Xin told her servant. Still, Mu Xin had found her, Lady Lianxin, after she went missing. Mute Granny knew nothing of the happenings between them.
Even Mu Yingdong had no idea of her current secret. Mu Xin was already dead, but she knew that Mu Xin was none other than Tianning capital’s Lady Tianxin. She had gotten into a liaison with the Poison Sect’s young clan head and married Han Congan. For the sake of helping Han Congan gain a position as director, Mu Xin gave her a secret letter, allowing Lady Lianxin to track down her location and new identity.
Han Yunxi and Long Feiye took this chance to sit down. Gu Qishao knew quite a lot of things, so Han Yunxi didn’t mind having him present. Long Feiye, on the other hand, knew it’d be useless to protest in any case. Gu Qishao had grown up in Medical City since he was young, so he would know far more than Long Feiye to begin with.
The relationship between Mu Xin and the Poison Sect, Han Yunxi’s father’s true identity, and other matters—these were all things that Gu Qishao could help them find out so they wouldn’t get tricked by Lady Lianxin. In addition, with Mute Granny dead and the Shadow Clan still, he didn’t need to worry about any leaked news regarding the West Qin imperial heir.
When Lady Lianxin witness Long Feiye and Han Yunxi’s attitudes coupled with Gu Qi Sha’s disdainful look, she began to grow nervous. It looks like it won’t be so easy for me to lie today.
“Lady Lianxin, speak as you will,” Han Yunxi said politely.
Lady Lianxin hesitated, but it was only for a second. Under these circumstances, she should get to the truth quickly. After all, no matter the price, she had to save Mu Yingdong and the Mu Clan!
