Everything moved in a blurred mode for Jiang Ying Yue. Just how fast was this guy?
But, Jiang Ying Yue didn't know why, being his arms again, she felt secure. Like she could face everything in this world with him by her side. Why was this?
She had always been a strong, independent woman, be it her last life or this life. So why did she feel this way now?
Mu Shao Qing's hands were strong and his chest was hard and muscular. She wondered how sexy it must've been under the black robe?
'What am I thinking now imagining his sexiness. Since when am I a pervert?' She shook her head slightly and raised her head.
It was then she saw his face clearly.
Up close, under the sunlight, he looked otherworldly. His skin was flawless, no scar and he was almost poreless. She could see his pink sexy thin lips, his tall nose and his focused eyes. This guy, was too good looking. A good looking pervert.
An evildoer.
'En. His nickname is evildoer from now on.' Of course, Jiang Ying Yue didn't realize that she had given Mu Shao Qing an intimate nickname and this nickname would follow the man for the rest of his life.
Suddenly, Mu Shao Qing's eyes fell on her. It was then she saw his icy-blue eyes that drew her in them.
"Like what you see?" His voice drifted into her ears.
Still absentminded, she nodded her head. "Yea. Hey evildoer, you are so handsome."
Evildoer? Where did she get that from? Well this was good too. He had a nickname now. Ha! It didn't matter the nickname was bad or not. He didn't care.
Usually, Mu Shao Qing would've hurt the girl who look at his face and even call him handsome, but not this one. In face, he felt quite good that he could see only his face reflected in that ink-black eyes of hers.
Just like that, two persons had a silent staring competition. Mu Shao Qing looked at Jiang Ying Yue's face closely. Her cute tall nose, her phoenix eyes, fair skin and that small red lips of hers was inviting him to kiss her.
Without him knowing, Mu Shao Qing bowed his head down to capture the lips.
Jiang Ying Yue who was still lost in Mu Shao Qing's eyes saw his face enlarging and she immediately broke out of her trance.
She hurriedly turned her head to the side and uttered, "No." Her voice was cold.
Mu Shao Qing paused and only then did he realize what he was doing.
What did he do? He almost kissed her!
Jiang Ying Yue saw that she was already at her courtyard and luckily no one was here.
She tried to struggle to get down but that man was just too strong!
"Put me down." She said, still with that cold voice.
Instead of listening to her and putting her down, he held her even tighter. He saw her immediate changes the moment he was about to kiss her.
Her cold tone was filled with loath. He did not miss the hurt in her eyes too.
"Look at me, Ying Yue." He said in a gentle voice. Even he didn't know that his voice could be that gentle.
Jiang Ying Yue didn't know why but she almost wanted to listen to him.
Seeing the little tigress not listening to him, Mu Shao Qing directly entered Jiang Ying Yue's room with her in his arms.
His kicked open with his long legs and entered her room. He flicked his finger and the door closed.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Ying Yue frowned in displeasure.
Mu Shao Qing didn't answer and he just brought her in and directly sat of her bed before adjusting her position so that she would sit on his lap.
Again, Jiang Ying Yue tried to struggle but to no avail. Mu Shao Qing didn't hold her that hard but he was just really strong.
Jiang Ying Yue could feel that he was gentle with his touch but still her puny strength was nothing against him.
"Stop struggling. Look at me, Ying Yue." His voice sounded firmer this time which made Jiang Ying Yue listened to him and stopped her struggle.
She looked at him with a huge frown on her forehead.
"What do you want?" She asked.
"Me? I want to court you." He deadpanned.
Jiang Ying Yue was dumbfounded. Turned out this guy was serious about liking her. But why?
"We barely know about each other and we just met. Why me?"
"Because I just like you. I know that I can tell you my real identity for now because it is not the time yet but just know that I told you my real name. And my real appearance is what you saw last night. "
"Shao Qing, you don't like me. That is just a crush. It'll go sooner or later. You'll meet a more wonderful woman than me in the future."
She knew it best. Maybe, to him, she was different than others or he just found her pretty which made him like her, but that was it. She wouldn't believe that he genuinely liked her.
Despite her showing a calm expression on the surface, her eyes betrayed her.
Mu Shao Qing could clearly see the pain, disappointment and hurt in her eyes when she said those words to him. Who hurt her to the point she wouldn't believe him liking her?
He was being honest. No woman had ever moved his heart eversince he woke up 20 years ago. But this woman, yes she was really beautiful, but her attitude was that moved him.
When she beat the guys up not wanting them to violate her, when stepped poisoned them, when she kicked the little him, when she tried her best to remain strong despite the pain she was in, he liked everything about her.
He felt alive around her presence but clearly, even if he explained everything, she wouldn't believe him. So, he just prove it with his actions instead.
"Ying Yue, I do like you. It's fine if you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you through my actions."
"What? Through kissing me? No thank you."
Being reminded of that, he almost wanted to smack his head. "Ying Yue, I was lost when I looked at you. I am sorry for that. It won't happen again. I won't kiss you without your permission."
He sounded so sincere that Jiang Ying Yue believed him. Based on his clothing, the power he had and everything she had seen about him, she could see that he was a man with superior identity. She knew that he had already lowered himself down to apologize to her.
"It's fine. I believe you for now. Don't ever do it again."
By this time, Jiang Ying Yue had already forgotten that she was still sitting on Mu Shao Qing's lap and her hands were still hanging on his neck.
And the guy in question, didn't even bother letting her know as he himself was feeling all happy inside that the woman in his arms was so close to him.
A man, who was known as someone ruthless and cold, dislike woman, feeling all giddy inside just because the woman he liked in his arms might cause an uproar in the entire Night Palace if his subordinates knew about this.
Who was the one who cut of a woman's limbs just because she climb into his bed in his palace? Who was the one who gauged a woman's eyes just because the woman looked at him with lustful gaze?
As if reminded of something, he directly asked Jiang Ying Yue. "Ying Yue, who was the one who hurt you till you become this way?"
