The General's Daughter Doesn't Want to Get Married!-Chapter 123: A Forbidden Love

"Let’s say. It’s half right. I did come to see his face, but that’s none of your business. Besides, I didn’t expect you to be such a shameless guy, making another guy a topic of fun to others." Zhu Zhengting already saw everything that happened during the banquet, and contrary to what happened in reality, he was having the wrong impression.

Of course Yun Shu understood what he meant, but she felt too lazy to explain. She smirked to provoke him, "You are wrong, Young Master Zhu. Of course it’s my business to oversee the person who came to meet my wife, as for the rest of the information, please retreat for tonight. You can have a conversation with him in the morning, leave him for now. He needs rest."

’Ha! Look at this bastard, brimming with confidence!’ Zhu Zhengting thought Yun Shu was just showing off her power to him, because he didn’t know the inner story yet.

"I’ve been plenty respectful and polite till now because you are his family, that doesn’t mean I’ll let you do as you please. Nine, see him out."

"Please, Young Master." Nine was swift in his movements as he bowed towards Zhu Zhengting, showing him the way out.

"I’ll come back tomorrow. Oh, by the way, I do have a good news for Young Lord." Zhu Zhengting smirked as he turned sideways towards Yun Shu. She could tell what this good news meant.

Obviously, it was bad news for her if he said it’s good news!

"The Crown Prince will enter the County tomorrow at noon. Guess we’ll be seeing each other a lot from now on, Lord Yun."

Yun Shu frowned as she furrowed her eyebrows, this bastard of a man really had no manners, provoking people left and right.

No wonder he didn’t have any friends, making foes everywhere and dying prematurely. He deserved that!

After Zhu Zhengting disappeared into darkness, Yun Shu ordered the subordinates to get prepared to welcome the Crown Prince with proper measure.

Her sleep was gone for the night as she stood by the balcony, looking into darkness of night blankly as she stood there in silence.

The next morning,

Bai Yunxian woke up after a peaceful sleep, refreshed and at the same time a bit dizzy.

"Ugh! Did I drink too much? My head feels so heavy." Bai Yunxian mumbled as he leaved the bed, stumbling while walking, finally took a shower.

Just as he was about to come out and leave the room, Bai Yunxian froze.

Zhu Zhengting was sitting on the chair beside the bedside table, sipping on his tea cup gracefully as he waited for him.

"Finally done your deed, brother?"

"W-what are you... doing here? When did you...?" Bai Yunxian was afraid as he freaked out after seeing Zhu Zhengting, fearing he might get into a fight with Yun Shu after they met, considering their previous encounters when they met as the Crown Prince’s assistant and the Clan leader of Jianghu.

"If you are worried that he and I will fight, then it’s safe to say that we already met last night. There wouldn’t be anything out of the ordinary, though I think you need to clear some things with me." Zhu Zhengting said with an expressionless face as he sipped on the tea, calmly observing Bai Yunxian’s expression.

’From his looks, anyone might mistake him for a beautiful glass doll, a pushover that people can rip off easily. However, no one would see through that innocent face, there is actually a witty devil hiding underneath.’

Zhu Zhengting thought as he was reminded of the contents in the letter sent by his Dear. Younger. Brother!

Dear Big brother,

I do not have any time to exchange pleasantries with you, rather, why don’t we have a conversation face to face? I’m going towards Sheng County, come and help me take care of some matters, or else I’ll accidentally slip my hand and reveal to the Clan Leader that you were secretly making a black market deal in the Empire!

From,

Your dearest Younger Brother!

"Dear young brother? More like a snake raised outside!" Zhu Zhengting mumbled as he looked up at Bai Yunxian, who was taking a look at his face, only to get shocked by his expression.

"T-this...! What is this?! What did I do... last night???" Bai Yunxian felt dizzy after his brain started functioning so well, making a slow motion picture out of the details of what he did last night.

Bai Yunxian thought everything that he was remembering so vaguely must be some kind of unholy dream he had about Lord Yun after fantasizing him so much and getting drunk, he wouldn’t have believed if this little piece of evidence wasn’t there.

In his lower lip, it was definitely... a b-b-b-bite mark!!!

He could clearly remember how Yun Shu kissed him, rough and with force, but at the same time, so gently and... passionately.

Bai Yunxian touched his lips lightly, as if the warmth from the kiss was still left there, the warmth of his body, his hands, his chest...

The mirror fell from his hand with a crashing sound, and Bai Yunxian crouched down to hide his face in shame that was red like dripping blood, pulling his hair with both hands.

A feeling that spread through his chest, slowly reaching his entire body.

"What’s there to overreact like this when the did was already done?" Zhu Zhengting said lightly as if it wasn’t that much big of something, only to get a piercing and cold glare in return from Bai Yunxian.

"Whatever, you wouldn’t understand it anyway, but to me, spending even one second with Lord Yun is like a reward for this life that I owe him." Bai Yunxian’s words were plain, but sincere. Zhu Zhengting could feel the little bit of sadness hidden within too.

’Is he really... in love with that guy?’

This is a problem.

It’s a forbidden courtship, if he really is thinking of doing this...
