Grab a Handsome Guy as Strategist - C3
Mu Yizi followed Luotuo Zi to Shen Bai’s room, frowning as she sat on a stool and looked at the crying Shen Bai beside the bed. There was a white ribbon hanging from the ceiling not far away. It hung unsteadily on the house beam.
Since she was young, Mu Yizi had always been surrounded by rough old masters. He had never met a man who could even shed tears. She had thought that only a little girl would like to wipe away her tears when she had nothing to do.
“Enough, don’t cry! [What is a man crying for?] Didn’t they already rescue you? Why are you still like this, acting like a woman! ” He was truly annoyed by Shen Bai’s crying. In addition to the anger from being woken up, Mu Yurou finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and shouted out.
After being yelled at like that, Shen Bai was slightly stunned for a moment. The result was that he cried even harder.
Mu Yizi didn’t know what to do. She really didn’t know how to tease people. She had always been raised like a man. Right now, the Shen Bai in front of her was like a little girl in a hut at the foot of the mountain crying, making her feel troubled.
“If you cry again, then get the hell out of the Qingfeng Stronghold.” Mu Yizi’s patience disappeared even faster than the fireworks in the sky. Furthermore, Shen Bai was not a real girl, and she did not have the mind to try and coax him.
However, her threat really did work. Shen Bai immediately retracted his tears, changing his expression into one of resentment as he looked at Mu Yuesheng silently.
In contrast, Mu Yizi suddenly felt that it would be better to let him grumble and feel comfortable if he stared at her.
“Aiya, okay, what are you trying to do? I saved you from rich Meng. Since the room is not round, you are still innocent. Are you thinking about your so-called eighty-year-old mother? Don’t be ridiculous, you don’t have any eighty year old mother, do you? ”
Mu Yiran really couldn’t stand Shen Bai’s resentful gaze, so she could only tell him straight to the point. In any case, this was Fresh Breeze Stronghold, her territory. She didn’t believe that a weak scholar like Shen Bai would be able to overturn the heavens.
Shen Bai did not say anything as he awkwardly glanced at Mu Yizi, who was standing beside her.
Mu Yizi waved her hand and said to Moyu, “Moyu, you can leave first.”
Muddy Son was still surprised that Mu Yizi knew that Shen Bai’s old mother was lying. But since she told him to go out, he didn’t dare disobey. He could only suppress the doubts in his heart and quickly walk out. He even carefully closed the door for them.
“Alright, your son has left. Now you can clearly explain what you really want to do, right?” After the son of a b * tch left, Mu Yurou leaned against the table, supporting her head with her hands as she watched Shen Bai’s expression change.
This man was definitely not as simple as he looked. But she liked dealing with smart people.
After the Bandits left, Shen Bai quickly put away his crying expression, as if the one who had been wronged was not him.
“What do you think I want to do?” At this moment, Shen Bai squinted his eyes and leaned against the bed, looking at Mu Yizi with his charming eyes.
Although the phrase ‘seductive gaze and silklike appearance’ was really inappropriate when applied to a man, who told Shen Baijie to have such a devilish face? It was no wonder that rich Meng was interested in him. Anyone who saw his face would not be able to hold back, right?
“No matter what you want to do, as long as you don’t touch the people around me, you can do whatever you want to me.” But don’t expect me to wipe your ass. “This time, I’ve already offended Lord Meng because of you. Don’t even think about the next time.”
Mu Yizi never liked it when others were hanging out with her, unless the person who was hanging out with them was her. She stood up and pointed at Shen Bai while speaking indifferently, but the threat in her eyes was clear. With that, she turned around and prepared to leave.
“Hehe, I’m afraid you’ve already formed a relationship with rich Meng. How can you blame me for this?” At this moment, he was like a leopard that was closely staring at its prey. Before he caught it, he was merely teasing it in a bored manner.
Mu Yizi’s interest was piqued after hearing Shen Bai’s words. Hearing the meaning behind those words, not only did Shen Bai know that she changed the appearance of the Qingfeng Stronghold, he also knew that she would usually bully rich Meng.
Generally speaking, the citizens of the Agarwood City only knew that the Qingfeng Stronghold was a place where they stole homes. Only the commoners of the Qingtong Mountain knew that she had changed after taking over the stronghold. Furthermore, she had long ago instructed her brothers to keep their mouths shut about their change in front of the people at the foot of the mountain.
“In the past, I always brought my brothers to ‘pay a visit’ to rich Meng, and also to receive some gifts from him in return. That was just to build a good relationship with Moneybag Meng. After all, Moneybag Meng was also a big family in Agarwood City, so they could not afford to offend him. But today, I snatched you back, and it was in front of so many people. With Lord Meng’s vengeful personality, he might even settle the score with me. Do you think you can blame me for this? ”
Shen Bai and Mu Yiran were acting like they were fighting a primal war. They did not say what their true intentions were, but they were always probing what the other wanted to do. In some ways, the two of them were somewhat alike.
The short silence caused the atmosphere to become inexplicably subtle. Shen Bai laughed out loud, suddenly feeling that something was amiss. He used his sleeves to cover his face with a smile.
“What are you laughing at?” Mu Yizi looked at him, puzzled. She couldn’t understand how he could laugh at such a serious time.
The awkwardness of not being exposed was one thing, but there was actually no panic of having his secret discovered? This caused Mu Youzi to feel very frustrated, and even a bit frustrated. Had she guessed wrongly?
“No, nothing. I just didn’t expect you to be so much smarter than I thought. ” Shen Bai put his hands down and finally sat up straight, admiringly looking at Mu Yizi who was standing on the same spot.
Being looked at like that by him made Mu Zhizi uncomfortable. She sat back down on the chair, poured tea and said, “I guess I’m not that smart, but I’m not an idiot either. Am I just a boor in your eyes? Or perhaps, if I’m really a reckless person who doesn’t know anything, what do you want to use me for? ”
“Mu Yizi, are you really willing to be a tiger-girl in the family of generals and become a weed on this small Qingtong Mountain?” Shen Bai suddenly stood up, walked to the table and fixed his gaze on Mu Yizi. His serious look made her wonder if he had changed.
With a “pa” sound, Mu Yizi slammed the table and stood up to face Shen Bai.
“What do you know?” Seemingly unable to suppress her anger, she raised her hand and grabbed onto Shen Bai’s collar, staring intently at his eyes, wanting to see through it.
“I’m telling you, you’d better not hurt the people around me. Otherwise, I might not be able to guarantee that I’ll do anything to you. This is my last resort! As for the rest of the matters, you can do whatever you want to do. If you want to stay in the Qingfeng Stronghold, you better behave. ”
After Mu Yizi finished speaking, she released her hand, causing Shen Bai to stagger a little, but fortunately, he managed to stabilize himself in time.
After a brief moment of silence, seeing that Shen Bai had yet to speak, Mu Yizi flung her sleeves and left with a cold snort.
Shen Bai pursed his sexy lips as he watched Mu Yiran leave. He placed his hands behind his back and looked at the bright moon that was about to rise, deep in thought.
He had originally planned to bring his brothers to see if the farmers at the foot of the mountain needed any help. After all, they had just returned from their ‘interaction’ with rich Master Meng, and according to the usual practice, they would be going to the mountain to share some things with the villagers.
Standing in front of the door, Mu Yizi stretched her back and took a deep breath of the fresh air as if she was enjoying it. What entered her nose was the fragrance of food, causing her stomach to growl along with her.
Following the scent, Mu Yunji arrived at the kitchen. There was a figure busily working inside, which caused her to be puzzled.
In the past, no one in Qingfeng Stronghold had woken up earlier than her, not to mention the master of cooking in the kitchen.
She quietly entered the kitchen and leaned against the door with her arms wrapped around her chest. She raised her eyebrows and looked with interest at Shen Bai, who was busying himself in the kitchen.
He had thought that Tang Wulin was a scholar who only cared about the Book of Virtue despite being deaf to external affairs. He didn’t think that Chen Changsheng would actually have such a trick up his sleeve.
This person had truly surprised her more and more.
“You’re awake? “Come and try my cooking.” Shen Bai looked up, and coincidentally saw her. A hint of surprise flashed on his face, before returning to normal.
Since he had invited her, why would Mu Yizi treat him badly?
He stepped forward, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and began to taste them. She didn’t expect it to be so tasty. She took one bite after another and soon finished half a plate of food and two bowls of rice.
“Burp!” Touching his stomach, Mu Yizi ignored his image and burped loudly.
“It seems like the food I make is quite to the taste of the chief of the stronghold.” Seeing Mu Youzi acting in such a manner, Shen Bai’s eyes were full of smiles.
Hearing Shen Bai’s words, Mu Yizi felt that something was wrong.
There were so many people in the village, but he had only cooked these two dishes. Could it be that he had made them especially for her?
“It’s not bad, but as the saying goes, one doesn’t come to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. You painstakingly got up early and made me a meal. What exactly do you want to do? ” She smiled at Shen Bai, her lips shimmering with oil.
Instinctively, Shen Bai lifted his hand and moved towards Mu Yizi’s mouth.
Mu Yizi quickly retreated, frowning as she looked at his hand that had stopped in midair, as if she was slightly displeased.
He embarrassedly retracted his hand and coughed lightly, “Your mouth has oil.”
Hearing Shen Bai’s words, she hurriedly wiped her mouth with her sleeve and looked away from him.
“I never thought that the Mu Clan’s chief would have such a cute side to him.”
Lovely? He actually said she was cute? Mu Yurou’s foot was so fast that it was easily dodged.
