My Lady Always Lacks Ambition
Chapter 290 - 289: She Hit Someone and Just Left

Chapter 290: Chapter 289: She Hit Someone and Just Left

Mu Xi had not seen her since the last time he was angered at Qin Liuxi’s place. It was nothing special; he had always been a cherished and pampered individual from childhood. But now, someone was not pandering to him, even clearly drawing a line, and he felt upset about it.

However, this time his upset was different, nobody came to coax or pamper him, so he had to endure the frustration silently.

There was no way around it, he could not reclaim his stance!

Mu Xi did try to seek her out, making excuses to visit Qingping Temple twice, but he was unable to see Qin Liuxi or know her whereabouts. Meanwhile, in the capital, he received a letter every day urging him to return, as the cold weather made the road back to the capital difficult, and it would only get harder if he delayed further.

Yesterday’s letter, even more critically, was from the Empress herself, stating if he did not return, she would send the Phoenix Guard to fetch him personally.

Mu Xi had no choice but to leave, knowing his elder sister was capable of that. After all, the ultimatum was set because his parents had gone to the Palace crying.

From the moment he set out until he left the city gates, Mu Xi was listless, unable to lift his spirits, even if someone came to meet him, he remained listless.

What ghost is Xiao Zhanrui from the governor’s mansion?

Mu Xi lazily lifted his eyelids, hearing Xiao Zhanrui’s greetings from outside once more, he kicked open the door to look out, waving his hand: "Xiao Zhanrui?"

"Yes, it is I."

"I know." Mu Xi impatiently went to shut the door, but his glimpse unintentionally swept over the nearby pavilion, and his eyes widened.

He rubbed his eyes, clearly seeing the person sitting cross-legged, and suddenly scrambled up from the carriage, jumping out and striding over.

Seeing him approach, Xiao Zhanrui clasped his hands and bowed long, then straightened up with a smile on his face and walked towards him: "Princely Heir..."

However, Mu Xi pushed him aside as he stumbled, rushing towards the pavilion in three quick steps.

Xiao Zhanrui: "???"

He turned baffled, only to see that the renowned playboy Little Overlord now resembled a beloved dog scampering towards its master, eagerly wagging its tail.

Xiao Zhanrui’s jaw nearly dropped.

Mu Xi excitedly ran to the pavilion, seeing Qin Liuxi with closed eyes meditating, he cleared his throat with hands behind his back.

Qin Liuxi did not open her eyes.

Mu Xi coughed loudly again, but she still didn’t respond.

Doing it on purpose!

Mu Xi directly walked up to her, leaning in close, his face almost in hers, and before he could fully face her evenly, she swung a fist.

"Ouch." Mu Xi clutching his eye, stepped back two steps, angrily shouted: "You, little God Stick, dare to be so bold!"

Qin Liuxi opened her eyes, saying, "Oh, it’s you. I was wondering why in a good sleep I suddenly felt a lion-dog’s breath on my face, which triggered my reflex."

Mu Xi was furious: "Are you calling this Princely Heir a dog?"

"I did not!"

"You did! You just said it, lion-dog!" And what exactly is a lion-dog?

"So, it was you who got close to my face? Trying to ambush me?" Qin Liuxi glared at him.

"I!" Mu Xi was at a loss for words, choked with anger.

Xiao Zhanrui cautiously approached the pavilion, calling out: "Princely Heir?"

"What are you calling for." Mu Xi turned around, venting all his anger on Xiao Zhanrui: "So annoying!"

Xiao Zhanrui noticing his eye was bruised, gasped, overcome with concern, rushed forward, trembling: "Princely Heir, your, your eye?"

He then looked towards Qin Liuxi, disbelief written all over his face: You hit him?

Isn’t that fresh mark evidence enough?

You really dare, do you know who he is?

Xiao Zhanrui felt the future looked bleak, fearing Qin Liuxi might drag him down, he said: "Master, this, this person is..."

"Don’t need you to say, we know each other!" Mu Xi snorted coldly, touching his eye, hissing in pain: "It hurts so much, you need to treat it now."

Qin Liuxi looked at his swollen eye and chuckled, saying, "Do you have an egg? If you have one, boil it and roll it; if not, just spit some saliva on it."

What, saliva?

Not to mention the noble Mu Xi, even Xiao Zhanrui, the son of the official, would widen his eyes, hardly believing his own ears.

"Saliva?"

"Uh-huh, saliva disinfects and reduces swelling..."

"Ugh!" Mu Xi almost vomited.

Xiao Zhanrui didn’t know what to say.

Mu Xi pointed at Qin Liuxi: "If you dare to make me use that dirty thing, I, I will..."

"Use it or not."

Qin Liuxi stood up, propped a hand on his eyebrow bone, and said: "The carriage is here, we should go."

It really doesn’t matter anymore.

Seeing Qin Liuxi ready to leave just like that, Xiao Zhanrui was stunned.

Isn’t it, you hit someone and can just assertively say to leave?

This is the widely admired Heir Mu after all!

Xiao Zhanrui’s legs felt a bit weak.

Mu Xi also snapped out of his daze, grabbing Qin Liuxi’s sleeve: "Where are you going?"

Qin Liuxi looked down at his hand, pinched his wrist, and Mu Xi felt a wave of soreness and weakness in his wrist, releasing his grip, looking at her with even more aggrieved eyes.

Hitting him and then pinching him.

Mu Xi glanced at Xiao Zhanrui, remembering he just called someone Master, an idea flashed in his mind, and he asked Xiao Zhanrui: "What, did you invite the little god stick to treat a disease or to perform an exorcism? Who is in trouble?"

Xiao Zhanrui’s mouth bulged, the sister’s affair is something he wouldn’t dare to leak, he hesitated and said: "My mother isn’t feeling very well, we heard the master’s medical skills are exceptional so we sincerely came to invite him."

Oh, it’s about the Ningzhou Governor Mansion.

Mu Xi coughed once, lifting his chin and asking, "Is the governor’s mansion fun?"

Xiao Zhanrui: "?"

"Forget it, seeing as you’ve specially invited me, this Princely Heir will reluctantly go to your house to play for a bit." Mu Xi saw Qin Liuxi was already a bit away, threw down those words, and chased after him.

Xiao Zhanrui stood there somewhat bewildered.

Where is he, what is he doing, what did he say?

Oh, Heir Mu says he’s going to his house to play.

Xiao Zhanrui blinked, oh no, the Little Overlord is going to his house.

His legs went weak, nearly collapsing to the ground, he looked up to see Mu Xi walking alongside Qin Liuxi, following her every step, still talking up a storm, just like a little brother.

Xiao Zhanrui understood suddenly.

Heir Mu had no idea that he was the son of a governor, talking about going to play, but he was actually just following Qin Liuxi wherever she went.

Moreover, Heir Mu seemed very indulgent of Master Buqiu, not holding Qin Liuxi accountable for hitting him, but rather eagerly flattering!

Xiao Zhanrui’s steps were unfocused as he walked out of the pavilion. It wasn’t until the guard approached that he came to his senses and said to the guard, "Go back to the mansion on a fast horse, tell them that Heir Mu is coming to the governor’s mansion to play and they should prepare early, don’t offend him!"

He paused, seeing Qin Liuxi standing in front of the carriage, and added, "Also, instruct the lady to make sure everything is well-prepared to accommodate the Master, absolutely do not show any negligence."

This Master, has an even bigger demeanor than he had imagined, must not be offended!
