Chapter 56 [3rd World 13] Life is like a play, it all depends on your acting skills
Lu Xueyan regarded the shameless enchantress from the demonic sect, Ruan Jiaojiao as a thorn in the flesh, itching to immediately strip off her false facade in front of everyone and receive the public’s and Ye Hanzhou’s revile.
On the other hand, Ruan Jiaojiao sat leisurely and contendly under a tree, relishing on a plate of grapes. Her pearly whites bit through a purplish red grape, the sour and sweet juice instantly pervading her mouth, making her narrow her eyes in pleasure.
Ye Hanzhou watched her languid and lovable appearance, her every movement unintentionally revealing a tinge of seductiveness, making him feel somewhat itchy and he stopped practicing his sword, walking towards her. He pinched her nose, the sharp look in his eyes immediately converging, turning into a pampering and gentle look.
Ruan Jiaojiao pulled his big palm, her small, delicate hands stroking Ye Hanzhou’s callused and thick palm. Ye Hanzhou’s throat tightened, his thoughts running amok until Ruan Jiaojiao parted her red little lips and spat out the purplish grape skin and skin onto it, winking at him mischievously and even feeling a bit proud upon carrying out this prank.
Faced with her sparkling eyes, how could Swordsman Ye muster the slightest annoyance? He pinched her dainty chin and covered her ruddy lips with his thin lips. Her mouth still carried the sweet and sour tastes of grapes, tasting so delectable that Ye Hanzhou couldn’t help but desire to swallow her into his stomach.
Such a sweet scene was being looked on by a pair of cold and pitch black eyes. Sensing this, Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t help but shiver.
Qi Shen?!
Aiya, her cute little darling had finally come. She was about to be bored to death, entangling with the male lead.
Thinking that she could finally stop seeing the male lead, Ruan Jiaojiao felt inconceivably excited.
Perhaps because he was wary of Ye Hanzhou’s strength, or because they were at the Free Manor, the enemy’s territory, it wouldn’t do Qi Shen any good to carelessly make a move and inadvertently alert the enemy, hence, he restrained his emotions reasonably.
In the dead of the night, when all the people of the manor were asleep, he finally revealed himself from the dark.
Confronting a cold-faced and gloomy Qi Shen, upon seeing him come out, Ruan Jiaojiao immediately rushed over excitedly, wrapping her arms around Qi Shen’s waist, burying her pretty face in his chest. With a longing and affectionate tone, she complained grievously.
“Brother Qi, why did you only come out now. I nearly thought I wouldn’t be able to see you anymore…wuuuwuuuwuu…” Ruan Jiaojiao’s voice was brimming with sadness and complaint. After saying these words, she immediately burst into tears.
Life was like a play, it all depended on one’s acting skills.
Ruan Jiaojiao mixed truths and lies in her words as she narrated how Ye Hanzhou threateningly captured her away from the demonic sect with teary eyes, how she was bullied by him on their journey and just as she was about to escape, she was struck by poison and narrowly escaped death. In the end, it was only after submitting herself to Ye Hanzhou and thinking of all ways to curry favor with him was she able to survive by the skin of her teeth.
Did Qi Shen believe her?
Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t know, but it felt as though his arm was going to snap her slender waist into two.
“Jiaojiao, do you know how I managed to find you?” Qi Shen’s tone sounded slightly vague.
“Envoy Bai.”
Qi Shen uttered.
Afterwards, Ruan Jiaojiao saw a black-clothed Bai Jingyan leap down from the ceiling beams and she cursed internally.
Fuck!
Now that her white lotus act was exposed, forgetting that Qi Shen was the person she had shared a bed with for many years, how could he believe her weak character act and statement when compared with Bai Jingyan’s confession?
Ruan Jiaojiao’s petite body quivered. Should she pretend to faint right now?
“Brother Qi! I was wrong!!”
Ruan Jiaojiao buried her face in Qi Shen’s arms, immediately carrying out another tactic.
“I’m sorry…”
This time, she did not play any dirty tricks, honestly narrating the events that transpired from when she fled from Qi Zhanfeng’s evil clutches and coincidentally running into Ye Hanzhou, to how she had been kidnapped by a pervert and drugged, thereby losing her virginity to Ye Hanzhou.
“The reason why I lied to you was so that you wouldn’t come into conflict with your father the sect leader, also… due to an unexpected turn of events, I’ve already done the deed with that man surnamed Ye so I…I didn’t want you to be sad.”
“So…did you fall in love with him….Jiaojiao?” Qi Shen’s voice shook a little, his figure quivering slightly as well.
Ruan Jiaojiao was a little hesitant. She bit her lips and raised her eyes towards Qi Shen, unwillingness streaking across her heart.
She opened her mouth and before she could even say a word, Qi Shen captured her lips.
