The Mad and Cool Female Lord - 39

Why did the little girl get shy so easily? 

Mu Shengyan looked at the gentle and adorable young girl in front of her and couldn’t help chuckling. She might as well, since she doesn’t have anywhere else to go. If she really were to accompany this girl, it shouldn’t be too bad, right? 

Su Yanxi finally returned to her senses. She pouted as she replied. “Mother was always this easy to talk to ah.” 

Seeing that expression of “of course” on her face, Mu Shengyan secretly shook her head. She’s afraid that it was not because the mother is easy to talk to, but that she spoiled her daughter too much and was unwilling to go against her wishes?

Whatever, in any case, no matter how they investigate, they could not possibly discover her identity as a princess in the royal palace. 

Just take it as being a refugee or beggar wandering about outside then, Mu Shengyan cheerfully thought to herself. Then, she laughed from her own thoughts. 

“What are you laughing about?” Seeing her reveal a smile, Su Yanxi couldn’t help curiously asking her. 

“I ah——” Mu Shengyan mischievously dragged out her words. It was only under the little girl’s unhappy glare that she leisurely said. “Am happy, naturally because I am able to remain by Miss Yanxi’s side~ “

Su Yanxi rounded her eyes, slightly blinking. “……Glib-tongued!” 

Mu Shengyan started to laugh and play with her. 

As a result, while Su Yanxi did not understand the situation, Mu Shengyan went behind her back to meet with Madam Su, thus smoothly passing this ordeal. She then passed her two-sided days: appearing on the surface to be modestly learning how to be a qualified servant girl and winning praise, while in secret, she is using Su Yanxi as the source of her entertainment. 

As a personal servant girl, she naturally started to gradually learn of Su Yanxi’s condition. She couldn’t help feeling slightly distressed for this little girl who was clearly prone to illness yet gentle and strong. 

She started to think of ways to nurse Su Yanxi’s body. Luckily, she still remembered a few modern medical diets in her mind. When she was responsible for controlling her reasonable diet, Mu Shengyan even had to use the carrot and the stick in an attempt to build up her body. 

Su Yanxi was very confused. Why did she have her run three laps around her little courtyard every morning……

——Although she never completed it QAQ

“Yanxi, do you feel slightly better today?” Mu Shengyan sat on the side of the bed, stretching out her hands to stroke the forehead of the flushed little girl lying on the bed. The never decreasing boiling temperature made her unable to resist being worried. 

“It’s nothing. I’m already used to it.” Su Yanxi weakly smiled at her. She opened her mouth and said in a low, nearly silent, voice.

“Let’s see if you would still not listen to me next time! If you don’t train your posture properly, then this would be the result!” The young girl dressed in blue was distressed and blaming as she glared at her. Whereas before, the corners of her mouth would always be in a bantering curve, right now, they were straightened, as if she was truly unhappy. 

“I do run everyday……” Su Yanxi was filled with many grievance, but you can’t blame her for not being able to do the amount of exercise demanded ah _(:3)∠)_

“You are just lazy, not properly doing what I told you to do. Also——” Mu Shengyan took out the towel dipped in ice from the washbasin, wrung it dry, and placed it on Su Yanxi’s forehead. Her tone was still pretending to be fierce. “If there’s a next time where I discover that you secretly fed the medical food to the plants, then don’t blame me for being mean! Let those plants be, alright? If it’s just those bitter medicines, that’s still fine, but you even fed them the medical food. It’s not easy for them to be alive.” 

Su Yanxi: “……” She, it’s also not easy for her to be alive ah!

As if she subconsciously did it, the young lady patient lying on the bed wittedly blurted out. “That was because those medical food that you made were too hard to eat——”

Mu Shengyan was expressionless. “I’m so sorry ah, that my cooking skills are so horrible.” 

Su Yanxi was slightly regretful that her instinctive response was actually that quick. She couldn’t help stealthily looking at Mu Shengyan. Then, as if she wanted to remedy the situation, she comforted. “Actually, it was not that bad. It was just that the outward appearance was a bit bad, the knife work was a bit bad, the ingredients were a bit strange. The taste was also a bit……just passable……that’s all……” 

Under Mu Shengyan’s narrowed eyes and unfathomable gaze, Su Yanxi’s voice got quieter and quieter. In the end, it was close to being silent. 

Mu Shengyan had a smile that was not a smile as she curled her lips. “And? Even I didn’t know that what I made was that bad. I truly made it difficult for you, Miss, who painfully endured every day.” 

Su Yanxi: “……It’s not troublesome for me haha……”

Mu Shengyan sighed, unhappily grabbing her bright red little face. “Why did you not say so earlier? What was the point of you forcing yourself? Wouldn’t the problem be solved if I just directly went to find a female cook?” 

Su Yanxi protested as she softly “humph”ed. She then stealthily looked at her expression. When she saw that she truly did not seem to be angry, she embarrassedly said in a low voice. “I saw that you were giving it so much thought, so I didn’t know how I should talk about it……”

“So you just casually dumped the fruits of my labor?” Mu Shengyan threatened with her light voice at the end. 

Su Yanxi shifted her gaze away with a somewhat guilty conscience, gazing at the curtains on the top of her head, not daring to make a sound. 

Mu Shengyan looked at her with a laugh, unable to resist pinching the young girl’s nose. Seeing Su Yanxi pout and glare at her, a teasing arc emerged on the corners of her lips. “Seems like you are a bit better, even having the energy to glare at me.” 

As if she suddenly thought of something, her face slightly revealed her sudden understanding. She pinched the young girl’s wrist again, secretly sending her some internal force. She then observed her expression. 

Su Yanxi only felt that there was a warm current suddenly circulating inside her body. In that split second of comfort, she subconsciously moaned. The gentle and sweet sound was like it had been steeped in honey, soft, tender, and crisp; the sweetness oozed into the heart.  

Mu Shengyan was stunned. 

A tender crisp moan filled with affection resounded in the room. Even the soft, smooth, tender and exquisite skin she was stroking seemed to turn somewhat burning hot, making her mouth slightly parched and her heart feel an unbearable itch. 

A layer of charming and ambiguous atmosphere seemed to gradually fill the surroundings. 

Mu Shengyan felt that she must have gone crazy in love with her. She looked at the young girl lying on the bed, soft, tender, powerless, as if one could do as they please with her. When she faced that pair of pure and moist cat-like eyes filled with water, which also seemed to be a whirlpool containing a bewitching power wanting to suck out people’s souls, her brain suddenly turned blank. All her intellect was on the dangerous edge, on the verge of collapsing. She no longer had power to ponder anything else——

“A-Yan, it’s so comfortable……”

That sweet, sticky, tender voice softly sounded in her ears. When the current Mu Shengyan heard it, she only felt that the last syllables had a coquettish and enticing feeling. Her reasoning that was struggling so hard before, was instantly captured by the enemy, her consciousness completely lost, unable to struggle anymore. 

The young girl dressed in blue was expressionless while her eyes were dark as she lightly bent over, skillfully pushing down the tender and boneless Su Yanxi who was only in her underwear. Then, she covered the slightly parted lips that were redder, more gorgeous and delicate than roses, with her own lips. 

She lightly traced the shape of her soft, cool, and elegant lips, suppressing the frenzied impulse inside her heart. She then suddenly pressed the back of her head, not caring about the young girl’s slight struggles. They tossed about on the bed as she ruthlessly delved into her lips. In between her lips and teeth, her licks turned stronger and stronger, tearing them apart more and more. 

Mu Shengyan relied on her body’s instincts as she inched her hands under the covers to clumsily grope for the young girl’s sensitive spots. She was reluctant to part with the glittering soft skin that was like Suet Jade, losing more and more control of her desire despite wanting to stop as she caressed. 

Very quickly, she heard the young girl’s tender, soft, sweet and ambiguous light groan due to her inability to resist. The girl dressed in blue acted like she received encouragement, she poured more and more strength into her hands.

Until she suddenly felt a burst of cool air between their lips, Mu Shengyan lifted her head and saw the young girl’s pair of delicate and slightly red eyes containing tears. It was only then that her brain finally started to slowly clear up. 

She was stunned as she looked at Su Yanxi who bit her lips, crying like the pear blossoms bathed in the rain. She couldn’t believe it as she shook her head. She straightened her body a bit and scooted away from her. 

“Yanxi, I……” She opened her mouth, unconsciously wanting to explain herself, yet found that there were no words that she could use to explain her obsession a bit ago. 

Su Yanxi did not reveal a resentful or nauseated expression like what Mu Shengyan had thought. She only huddled her body, hiding herself under the covers, and quietly sobbed unceasingly.  

Mu Shengyan only felt that her heart was pulled into a knot, feeling pangs and pangs of pain.

She thought: maybe it would have been better if Yanxi had scolded her a few times that she was a beast in human skin, heartless and ungrateful. Even saying that she was disgusting would be better; resenting her or punishing her would also be better. She did not wish for Yanxi to be like this either, for her to be quietly sobbing. Her sobbing made her heart break into pieces. 

Mu Shengyan wanted to embrace her and gently coax her. But she was afraid that she would reject and be afraid of herself. She could only quietly sit on the bedside, blankly looking at that ball of quilt that was slightly trembling. 

Her heart was in a mess, completely unaware of what she was thinking.  

Mu Shengyan was straight——at least before she transmigrated, she was indeed like that. There was no need to doubt that. Even if she transmigrated, she was still more appreciative of all types of pretty men. Even before she came to Su Mansion, she had met few of those men who were to her tastes by chance, already starting to develop a somewhat ambiguous relationship with them. 

Su Yanxi was an exception. 

Even she didn’t know why. If it were normal girls who saw a young girl with lethally good looks like her, even if they were not jealous or uneasy, their hearts should still have a conflicting feeling, right?

But she did not. Not even a trace of those feelings had appeared. 

In the past when she was in school, she had the experience of secretly comparing herself with the campus belle; and also the experience of secretly disliking her white lotus roommate, who always had a charming expression as if somebody bullied her. 

However, in front of this little girl, everything seemed to all become insignificant. 

Perhaps it was because that day, when Miss flower demon was playing the zither under the peach blossoms, she was truly too gorgeous and betwitching, unintentionally making her eyes grow unfocused. In the end, just like that, she had forcibly entered her heart. 

Or perhaps it was because of how the little girl looked at her, too glittering, pure and filled with innocence, containing a gentleness filled with goodwill, causing her to unconsciously lower all her guards. 

Furthermore, it seemed as if as long as she stayed by her side for a period of time, she would find it extremely difficult to not have a favorable impression of her. 

She was clearly a young lady from a big family with a noble identity, yet she was not spoiled nor bossy. She was gentle, soft, considerate, kind-hearted, adorable, innocent, and well-educated. She respected every single person. She was willing to rely on her, listen to her, and act spoiled with her. Even if she had a small temper when she was ill, she still looked extremely cute and enchanting. 

But even if she had a faint favorable impression of her, she just treats Yanxi as her little sister and nothing more. She dotes on her, protects her, and looks forward to when she is able to fully recover, becoming more lively and happy, not having to be confined to her room all the time where she doesn’t even have a single intimate friend that she could gossip or have heart-to-heart talks with. 

That was why she always liked to tease her. She wishes that she would be able to reveal some more lively expressions again. 

She had thought of this before: when Yanxi’s condition permits her to be able to go out, she would definitely earnestly teach her martial arts at that time. Then, she would satisfy her dream, bringing her to the outside world for a nice good look. She would play with her in the Jianghu of legends and make a living away from home. She would definitely protect her well, not allowing her to be injured in the slightest. 

——However, she thought of everything with the sole exception being this: an accidental situation, like now,  that will occur between the two of them.
