"West Duke, why are you giving Mei 'er the cold shoulder? Is it because Mei' er isn't pretty enough?"
Tang Chenyi glanced sideways at Mei 'er and pulled his sleeves back. "Go take a shower first. Come here later to serve me."
With that, Tang Chenyi left.
He had left.
Mei 'er curved her red lips. She knew that no man in the world could escape from her grasp.
At this moment, her cell phone rang. She had an incoming phone call.
Mei 'er looked around to make sure that there was no one around. She picked up the call and said in a small voice, "Hello, East Duke."
The East Duke's voice came through the phone. "Lady Mei, how are things on your end? Did West Duke take the bait?"
"He took the bait. I'll be able to get my hands on him later. I'll make him die under my body!"
"Lady Mei, West Duke is a shrewd and ruthless man. Don't be fooled by his good looks!" the East Duke reminded her.
Mei 'er gave a cold laugh. "No matter how shrewd West Duke is, he's still a man. Moreover, he's a man who has just experienced love. He won't be able to resist my charm."
"Lady Mei, be careful!"
…
When Jun Xiqing returned to her tent, she blushed at the thought of what West Duke had just done.
Hooligan!
She wanted to take a shower.
But was there a place to take a shower?
Jun Xiqing opened the tent. Fan Men, West Duke's most trusted aide, was standing outside. He was as cold as a poker face.
Actually, Fan Men was the Young Master of Jiu You Prison. Jiu You Prison had a high reputation in the underworld and they specialized in grooming assassins.
Three years ago, West Duke had a duel with Fan Men and Xi Zhu. Fan Men had been defeated, so West Duke had become his elder brother.
In these three years, West Duke had led Jiu You Prison to become famous.
Previously, Fan Men had even tried to kill her.
"Hey, blockhead!" Jun Xiqing suddenly called out.
Fan Men, who was patrolling outside, stopped in his tracks. He looked at Jun Xiqing expressionlessly. "You called me?"
"Is there a third person here?"
"… What's the matter?"
"I want to take a shower. How do I do it?"
Fan Men wanted to speak, but at this moment, a set of steady footsteps approached. "Brother Qing, I've already asked someone to prepare hot water."
Jun Xiqing glanced sideways. It was Tang Chenyi.
Seeing this hooligan, Jun Xiqing snorted and entered the tent, ignoring him.
Very quickly, the tent was opened and Tang Chenyi walked in.
Looking at the boy's angry expression, Tang Chenyi walked forward and put his arm around Jun Xiqing's shoulders, pulling her into his embrace. "Are you still angry?"
Jun Xiqing froze when he suddenly pulled her into his arms. She had never been hugged by a man before and she immediately struggled. "Let go of me! Don't touch me! "
Tang Chenyi pressed the back of her head and chuckled. "Be good, stop fooling around!"
There was a hint of teasing in his low voice, as if he was coaxing a little fox.
Jun Xiqing harrumphed. She was small in size and wasn't as strong as him. Now that he was holding the back of her head, she couldn't move at all. Her face was pressed against his chest and she could feel his heartbeat, steady and strong.
Jun Xiqing's face turned even redder.
"King." At this moment, Fan Men opened the tent and saw the scene inside. Tang Chenyi was hugging Jun Xiqing. Fan Men's expression changed.
Jun Xiqing promptly pushed Tang Chenyi away.
Tang Chenyi looked at Jun Xiqing and realized that her face was red. A little boy could actually be shy. It was interesting.
Two underlings walked in and filled the wooden tub with hot water.
Jun Xiqing's eyes lit up. She could finally take a bath!
"You may leave," Tang Chenyi said.
"Yes."
Everyone retreated.
Jun Xiqing ran to the wooden tub and reached out to touch the hot water. At this moment, she turned her eyes and saw Tang Chenyi unbuckling his belt.
"West Duke, why … why are you taking off your clothes?"
Tang Chenyi threw his belt on the bed and took off his shirt. He replied matter-of-factly, "To take a bath."
What?
Jun Xiqing was stunned. "This is my tent. Shouldn't I be the one bathing?"
Tang Chenyi's cold almond-shaped eyes looked at Jun Xiqing with a spurious smile. "Then let's bathe together."
"…"
Jun Xiqing turned around and ran away.
The little boy was teased away by him. The smile on Tang Chenyi's handsome face gradually disappeared. His thin lips curved into a cold smile.
…
Jun Xiqing cursed Tang Chenyi a few hundred times in her heart. With nowhere else to go, she went to Tang Chenyi's tent.
She would wait for him to come back from the bath before going back.
But somehow, she felt her eyelids getting tired as she waited. Soon after, she fell asleep.
She was in a daze when she suddenly felt a cold knife against her neck. "West Duke, it's time for you to die!"
Jun Xiqing instantly opened her eyes. Under the flickering candlelight, she saw the face on top of her. It was Mei 'er.
Mei 'er's knife was against her neck.
"Elder Sister Mei 'er, what are you doing?"
Mei 'er's expression changed. "Little brother, why is it you? Where's West Duke?"
At this moment, there was a flurry of footsteps outside. The tent had already been surrounded. Soon after, Tang Chenyi's low voice could be heard. "Lady Mei, how dare you collude with the two dukes of the Southeast to murder the godson of the President of Country Z. You'd better let go of my Brother Qing!"
Jun Xiqing's expression changed. Something flashed past her eyes. She knew that she had fallen into a trap!
This was all Tang Chenyi's scheme!
Tang Chenyi already knew that the two dukes of the Southeast had sent Mei 'er to assassinate Tang Chenyi. He was just playing along.
He had even dragged her into this.
No, the person he really wanted to drag into this was Uncle Jun. He wanted to make use of Country Z's power!
Tang Chenyi had pushed her to the edge of death.
Jun Xiqing smirked coldly. She had underestimated this West Duke!
West Duke wasn't willing to let his mother, Madam Xuanji, marry Uncle Jun. But he also wanted to make use of Country Z's power. As long as she was killed by Mei 'er today, Uncle Jun would definitely join forces with the West Duke to take revenge for her. The West Duke wanted to use her corpse to walk on his path to power.
So ruthless!
Mei 'er's face paled. Oh no, she had been discovered. "Little brother, don't blame Elder Sister. Elder Sister has no choice but to kill you!"
Mei 'er gritted her teeth. She wanted to kill Jun Xiqing.
"Elder Sister Mei 'er, if you dare to kill me, I guarantee that the next person to die will be you!"
Mei 'er froze. Her eyes met Jun Xiqing's. The little boy had opened his eyes. His gaze was even more dazzling than jade, piercing straight into one's heart.
