Chapter 435: He’s Good at Coaxing Women
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Lingyue’s heart beat faster. “I have nothing. Even if you want something, I can’t give it to you.”
“No, you can afford it. I want you to call me by my name. Yue ‘er, call me Ah Cheng, don’t call me brother-in-law.” Mu Chengyao looked at Gu Lingyue with a burning gaze, waiting for her response in antic.i.p.ation.
Gu Lingyue’s heart was completely stirred up. She repeatedly pondered over Mu Chengyao’s words and felt that there seemed to be more ambiguity between the two of them.
Gu Lingyue looked at Mu Chengyao, but she could not see any schemes in his eyes. He was so sincere and his words were so considerate. It was too difficult to reject him.
“Well, well then… Ah Cheng, I’ll leave the account book to you. I’ll go and see if my mother has woken up. As Gu Lingyue spoke, she left without looking back like a shy deer.
Mu Chengyao watched as Gu Lingyue left. It was only after Gu Lingyue had gone far away that he retracted his smile and put on a cold expression.
Mu Chengyao fiddled with the thick account book on the table and cleared his throat. Immediately, an attendant who had been waiting outside the door for a long time came in quickly.
“Where’s the thing I want?” Mu Chengyao looked at the attendant and asked.
The attendant respectfully took out a heavy cloth bag from his chest.
There was another account book in the cloth bag. The fake account book looked no different from the real one. Mu Chengyao took the fake account book and handed the real account book to the servant.
The attendant wrapped the real account book in cloth and stuffed it into his arms again.
Mu Chengyao worriedly instructed his attendant, “Take the account book to a safe place and be careful on the way. Don’t let anyone find any clues.”
The attendant hurriedly nodded and quickly left the hall.
After Mu Chengyao was done with all this, he was in a good mood and snorted softly. After he slowly sat down, he picked up the teacup that Gu Lingyue had just drunk from.
There were still lip marks left by Gu Lingyue on the teacup. Mu Chengyao stuck out his tongue and licked the lip marks on the teacup. He then picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea.
Mu Chengyao thought that his plan was flawless, but he did not expect that his every move was actually being watched by others.
The secret guard hiding on the roof of the hall lifted the roof tiles and looked down, and he happened to see everything that had just happened.
Seeing this, the secret guard quickly left, without attracting anyone’s attention, and successfully left this troublesome place.
The secret guard ran all the way back to the prince regent’s residence.
In the study room, Rong Zhan was handling some matters when he heard the sound of a secret guard knocking on the door.
“Your Royal Highness, your subordinate has returned.” The secret guard pushed the door open and reached out to pull off the cloth covering his face, revealing a cold face. It was Liu Yi.
Rong Zhan gave Liu Yi a look.
Without further ado, Liu Yi immediately told Rong Zhan everything that he had seen, word for word. “This subordinate feels that the Mu family actually came prepared. They wanted to take over the Gu family’s property from the very beginning, which was why they emphasized it so much. Especially Mu Chengyao, he’s really good at coaxing women. Gu Lingyue has already been completely smitten by him.”
After Rong Zhan heard Liu Yi’s report, he still did not show any fluctuations in his emotions, as if everything that was said had nothing to do with him.
Liu Yi felt no sense of achievement at all. However, just as he was about to leave in frustration, Rong Zhan suddenly spoke..
