Chapter 217.2 - Shameless
“Who was that woman? Didn’t they say that the Night Prince and Lou residence’s eldest daughter were close? Why is another one cropping up?”
“Who knows, maybe it’s just rumours …”
“......”
All around them, people were muttering as Lou Qingwu’s brows furrowed deeply.
This was the first time that she’d thought of having sharp ears as a type of punishment.
She soundlessly looked away.
Leng Yichen moved his eyes away from Feng Yege and looked at Lou Qingwu again.
His face was expressionless as he asked, “What, your heart feels uncomfortable?”
“En? No.” Lou Qingwu looked up at him, also expressionless, “You’re thinking too much.”
Leng Yichen bared his white teeth but he didn’t laugh out loud so it looked a bit strange, “How did you know what I was going to say?”
Lou Qingwu side-eyed him, “Are you feeling cocky?”
“Am I?” Leng Yichen felt that he was very innocent.
“Next time when we do business, maybe you should talk alone next time, en?”
“... Alright, I was wrong.”
“En, very good.” After speaking, Lou Qingwu stepped away towards the second floor.
Her figure was slim but for some reason, made Leng Yichen feel very pressured.
Why did he make friends with such a bad person, constantly finding opportunities to threaten him.
He shook his head and also felt like he’d been flirted with.
Thousand Face followed Lou Qingwu.
Yue Ji and the others all looked at each other before leaving their own separate ways, going back to do what they were doing before they came.
On the second floor, a door had opened some time ago.
A figure leaned on the railing and looked down, and had planned to head back after watching that good action.
But when his eyes fell on Lou Qingwu, his eyes narrowed.
That girl’s figure looked very familiar.
And that male figure, also looked very familiar.
Wasn’t that one of the two men who poisoned him on the pleasure boat?
Xiliang Mubai’s eyes were about to spit fire, if he found one, wouldn’t it be only a matter of time before he found the second?
His expression grew even more furious as he glared at Leng Yichen who was approaching him.
Just as he was about to dash forward and stop him, he’d only reached halfway before his shoulders brushed past Lou Qingwu.
A gust of wind then just flew from the window, lifting up Lou Qingwu’s facial veil and revealing a beautiful profile.
Xiliang Mubai’s feet completely froze.
What a beautiful girl!
This was the type of face that befitted the role of his wife, not that whoever ugly monster from the Lou family!
Lou Qingwu didn’t think that she’d meet Xiliang Mubai here but she continued to keep walking forward.
But when that gust of wind blew at her face and lifted up her facial veil, she caught Xiliang Mubai’s expression and instantly narrowed her eyes.
Leng Yichen saw Xiliang Mubai’s eyes and his face completely darkened.
He immediately stepped in between them, blocking Xiliang Mubai from seeing Lou Qingwu.
Xiliang Mubai moved his head to keep his eyes on the beauty but after half a moment, he suddenly thought that this beauty also looked very familiar, very, very familiar …
Almost exactly like the gentleman who gave him the ‘impotent’ medicine.
His mind then clicked, if she dressed as a man … his mind exploded.
“You! Stand there! I’m talking about you! The one in the front! Did you poison me?!” Xiliang Mubai immediately sprinted towards Lou Qingwu, stopping her as he stared at her.
Lou Qingwu’s innocent face instantly appeared, playing ignorant, “This gentleman, what are you saying? I don’t understand?”
“Stop playing stupid, were you the one who gave me that medicine to ‘not get hard’?”
Lou Qingwu’s eyes lowered, sweeping a look at his lower half, “Can’t get hard?”
“Yes! Am I unable to get hard because of you! Do you admit it or not?” Xiliang Mubai roared.
The girl in front of him, her eyes twinkled.

TL note:
Can’t get hard is so much more elegant in chinese - ‘bu ju’ - ‘doesn’t raise’
I finally caught up on season 2 of Westworld. It was amazing and now I’m feeling withdrawal symptoms.
Leave a comment and because Leng Yichen is a great friend xx
