Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

“West Duke, why did you neglect Mei’er? Is it because Mei’er is not pretty enough?”

Tang Chenyi glanced sideways at Mei’er and nonchalantly retracted his sleeve. “Go and shower first. Come back later to serve me.”

With that, Tang Chenyi left.

He left.

Mei’er curved her red lips. She knew that there was no man in this world who could escape from her hands.

At this moment, her cell phone rang.

Mei’er looked around the surroundings to make sure there was no one. She picked up the call and spoke in a soft voice, “Hello, East Duke.”

The East Duke’s voice was heard over the phone. “Lady Mei, how is it over there? Has West Duke been baited?”

“Yes he has been hooked. I will kill him tonight!”

“Lady Mei, the West Duke is a very unfathomable person and his methods of handling things is very vicious. Don’t be bewitched by his good looks!” The East Duke reminded her in a low voice.

Mei’er gave a cold laugh. “No matter how unfathomable the West Duke is, he’s still a man, not to mention, he’s a man who hasn’t experienced romance. He won’t be able to resist my charm.”

“Lady Mei, you’d better be careful!”

…

Jun Xiqing returned to her tent. Her face blushed as she recollected what the West Duke had done.

Big scumbag!

She wanted to shower, but was there a place to shower?

Jun Xiqing opened the tent and saw Fan Men standing outside. He was the most trusted man of the West Duke, and his demeanor was very aloof and cold.

Actually, Fan Men was the Young Master of Jiu Yu Ge, which had a very respectable reputation in society and specialized in training killers.

Three years ago, the West Duke and Fan Men had sparred with each other and Fan Men conceded defeat, thereby regarding the West Duke as his Master.

These three years, the West Duke had led Jiu Yu Ge to resounding success. Fan Men had even wanted to kill her previously.

“Hey, dumb head!” Jun Xiqing suddenly called.

Fan Men was patrolling outside and he stopped in his tracks. He looked at Jun Xiqing with a face devoid of emotion. “You called me?”

“Is there anyone else here?”

“…What’s the matter?”

“I want to shower. Where can I find one?”

Fan Men was about to reply when there was a flurry of steady footsteps. “Brother Qing, I’ve already asked someone to prepare warm water.”

Jun Xiqing glanced sideways and saw Tang Chenyi. Upon seeing this ruffian, Jun Xiqing gave a snort and promptly entered the tent without any regard for him.

Soon later, the tent was pried open and Tang Chenyi entered.

Tang Chenyi saw the boy’s angry expression and walked ahead. He put his arm around Jun Xiqing’s shoulder in a hug. “Are you still angry?”

Jun Xiqing stiffened at being embraced by him suddenly. She had never been hugged by a man before and she struggled immediately. “Let go! Don’t touch me!”

Tang Chenyi pressed the back of her head and gave a low laugh. “Be good, don’t make a fuss!”

His deep, rich voice had a teasing note to it, as if he was coaxing a little fox.

Jun Xiqing gave a snort. She was physically smaller and weaker than him, and now she could not move at all with him pressing on the back of her head. Her face rested on the area where his heart was and she could hear the man’s steady and strong heartbeat.

Jun Xiqing’s face blushed a little.

“Duke.” At this moment, Fan Men pried open the tent and saw the scene inside. Tang Chenyi was still embracing Jun Xiqing. Fan Men’s eyes seemed to glint.

Jun Xiqing promptly pushed Tang Chenyi away.

Tang Chenyi looked at Jun Xiqing and realized that his face had actually turned red. It was interesting to see a little boy being so shy.

Two assistants walked in and filled the wooden bucket with warm water.

Jun Xiqing’s eyes lit up. Finally, she could take a bath!

“You may leave,” Tang Chenyi said.

“Yes sir.”

Everyone left.

Jun Xiqing ran to the wooden bucket and splashed the water. At this moment, she looked around and saw that Tang Chenyi was undoing his leather belt.

“West Duke, you… why are you removing your clothes?”

Tang Chenyi threw his black leather belt onto the belt and removed his top. He replied in a matter-of-fact manner, “I’m going to bathe.”

What?

Jun Xiqing was stunned. “This is my tent. Isn’t this for me to bathe?”

Tang Chenyi’s cold almond-shaped eyes looked at Jun Xiqing. “Then let’s bathe together.”

“…”

Jun Xiqing turned around and ran.

The little boy had run away from his teasing. The smile on Tang Chenyi’s face gradually disappeared. He curved his thin lips and his smile was cold.

…

Jun Xiqing cursed Tang Chenyi a few hundred times in her heart. She had nowhere to go, and thus she arrived at Tang Chenyi’s tent.

She would wait for him to finish bathing before she returned.

But she waited and waited until her eyelids felt so heavy that she soon fell fast asleep.

As she was drifting in and out of unconsciousness, she felt the cold blade of a small dagger pressed against her neck. “West Duke, it’s your doomsday today!”

Jun Xiqing opened her eyes instantly. Under the flickering flame of the candle, she could clearly see the person’s face. It was Mei’er.

The dagger in Mei’er’s hand was pressed against her neck.

“Elder Sister Mei’er, what are you doing?”

Mei’er’s expression changed. “Little Brother, why is it you? Where is West Duke?”

At this moment, there was a flurry of footsteps and the tent was surrounded. Soon later, Tang Chenyi’s deep and rich voice reached their ears. “Lady Mei, it seems you have some nerve. You dare to be in cahoots with the Dukes of the South and East to kill the godson of President Jun of Country Z. You’d better let Brother Qing go!”

Jun Xiqing’s expression changed and there was a glint in her eyes. She knew that she had been tricked!

This was all plotted by Tang Chenyi!

The Princes of the South and East had sent Mei’er over to kill Tang Chenyi. Tang Chenyi had known of this earlier on and he was merely beating Mei’er at her own game.

He had even involved Jun Xiqing in his plot.

No, the person he really wanted to involve was Uncle Jun. He wanted to borrow the power of Country Z!

Tang Chenyi had pushed her to the brink of death.

Jun Xiqing smiled coldly. She had underestimated this West Duke!

The West Duke did not wish for his mother, Madam Xuanji, to marry Uncle Jun but he wanted to make use of the power of Country Z. If Jun Xiqing was killed by Mei’er today, Uncle Jun would definitely join hands with the West Duke to take revenge for her. The West Duke merely wanted to use her death to his own advantage.

He was too vicious!

Mei’er blanched. Damn it, she had been discovered. “Little Brother, don’t blame Elder Sister. I have no choice but to kill you now!”

Mei’er clenched her teeth and was about to kill Jun Xiqing.

“Elder Sister Mei’er, you try killing me. I guarantee that the next person to die will be you!”

Mei’er froze and looked at Jun Xiqing’s eyes. The little boy had opened her eyes, which were even brighter than pearls and they were extremely captivating.

Jun Xiqing raised both hands in surrender. The sharp knife blade was still pressed against her neck but she shook her head calmly. “Elder Sister Mei’er, Ah Jiao’s room has never been involved in political battles all these years. Why are you so foolish to be in cahoots with the Dukes of the South and East?”
