Chapter 278: 278
“Well, you know, men and women should avoid body contact . If people know that we share the same room and bed, it’ll ruin our reputation,” Murong Xue stressed each syllable slowly as she shifted her glare from him unnaturally .
If her friend caught a man when he walked out of her room in the early morning, it would embarrass her enough even if her friend didn’t make any comment .
The sullen look on her small face made Ouyang Shaochen smile . He slowly buttoned up and walked outwards . “Gong Qianyu is too arrogant to talk to people . Even if he knows this, he won’t tell others!” Ouyang Shaochen said disapprovingly .
A gleam flashed across Murong Xue’s eyes . She reached out to grab him and said hurriedly, “Even so, we’d better keep it from him . You just take a seat here and don’t go out until he leaves . ”
“I have something else to do . I can’t stay here for too long,” Ouyang Shaochen interrupted her casually as he strode ahead .
Murong Xue pulled him back by the arm . She glowered at him and said, “Just a little while . ”
“My time is precious . A little while is too much already,” Ouyang Shaochen took a glance at her and was ready to leave .
Murong Xue turned furious and pulled him back with teeth and nail . “You must sit here before Gong Qianyu leaves . Otherwise, I will, well…”
“Go on . ” With his eyebrows raised, Ouyang Shaochen looked at her in an imperceptibly tricky way .
“I’ll tie you to the bed with the curtain,” Murong Xue threatened him angrily .
“Tie me with the light curtain . You think that’s gonna work?” Ouyang Shaochen said as he took a glance at the light gauze with mockery .
“I don’t care,” Murong Xue snapped when she walked towards the curtain, dragging Ouyang Shaochen .
The minute she reached out for the curtain, a resigned look flashed in Ouyang Shaochen’s eyes . He said lowly, “You have 30 minutes . If you fail to drive him away in 30 minutes, I’ll do that for you . ”
Murong Xue blinked and nodded heavily . “It’s a deal!”
“Murong Xue…” The charming voice was getting closer . It turned out that Gong Qianyu had already walked into the yard towards her room .
Startled by his entrance, Murong Xue got her hand off Ouyang Shaochen . As she strode outwards, she warned, “Don’t you go out in the following 30 minutes . ”
“Got it,” Ouyang Shaochen responded casually . Standing by the bed, he looked at Murong Xue blandly when she slammed the door .
Afterwards, Murong Xue turned round swiftly, only to see Gong Qianyu’s flawless face . It was so close that she could see herself clearly in his dark eyes . Gong Qianyu greeted with a faint smile, “Murong Xue!”
Feeling the warmth on her forehead from his breath, Murong Xue shifted her glare unnaturally . She sneaked sideward and cast a bland gaze at him . “What brings you here?”

“I’d like to see how your stay in this room is,” Gong Qianyu said softly .
Murong Xue responded with a light smile, “Not bad . ”
“It’s hot and dry here in summer, so it might be hard for you to fall asleep . We’ve raised many beautiful lotuses here and they can help to reduce the heat . If you keep some in the room, you can fall asleep more easily . Would you like the guards to bring some for you?” Gong Qianyu said lowly as he looked at Murong Xue with excitement .
“No, thanks . My room is airy,” Murong Xue said with a smile . “There are many plants around the room . It is not stuffy at all . ”
“That’s true . ” Gong Qianyu looked at the plants in the garden and nodded .
Murong Xue felt guilty in a moment . It was kind of Gong Qianyu to consider for her but she bluntly refused him . It could have made him a little sad . Murong Xue intended to say a few words to comfort him . All of a sudden, she heard a man’s voice from the room .
Her face sank instantly . She just talked with Gong Qianyu for a moment, but Ouyang Shaochen already urged her . She would keep her words to persuade Gong Qianyu to leave within the given time .
Looking up at Gong Qianyu, she said with a smile, “Your Majesty, you just returned to your mansion and there must be a lot of things for you to deal with here . ”
Gong Qianyu said, “I am the master in the Crown Prince’s Mansion . Manservants and maids are doing their parts and I don’t need to deal with those trivial things . ”

“I don’t mean trivial things . Do you know how many people around you have been bought over by Gong Qianze?” Murong Xue said heavily .
Gong Qianyu whispered, “I have ordered guards to investigate this matter . ”
“What if your guards have also been bought over and give you false results?” Murong Xue raised her eyebrows and looked at him, obviously disagreeing with his move .
Gong Qianyu frowned, “Then what do you think should be done?”
“You should investigate it by yourself . Only in this way can you find the truth,” Murong Xue said with a smile and glanced at the shadow of the tree to tell the time . It had been over 15 minutes already .
Gong Qianyu wore a frown, “I can’t investigate all my servants and guards by myself . There are too many of them . I’m gonna take this measure to clear all betrayers…”
Suddenly, the slam of the door interrupted Gong Qianyu .
Gong Qianyu raised his eyebrows and asked, “Is there anyone in your room?”
“No, it’s just a naughty pet I raise,” Murong Xue smiled unnaturally . Looking at the shadow of the tree projected on the ground, she was shocked . “Gosh! Time is running out,” she thought .

With the slam, the sound of footsteps also travelled to her ears .
Murong Xue caressed her forehead resignedly . Time was up and Ouyang Shaochen was about to come out .
In the meanwhile, Gong Qianyu looked at the door of the room and frowned, “Your pet is really naughty and many things in the room must have been damaged . Wait a minute, let me teach it a lesson for you . ”
Seeing that Gong Qianyu was about to push the door, Murong Xue hurriedly stopped him . “Don’t worry . It will stop when it gets tired . ”
“I just arrived in this capital city yesterday and couldn’t wait to go out and enjoy the spectacular view . If you have time today, please be my guide,” Murong Xue said with a smile, while grabbing Gong Qianyu by the sleeve and pulling him out .
