Chapter 189: Seducing Him

Even in the middle of this chaos, Bai Yunxian couldn’t help but notice the lipstick smeared on Yun Shu’s lips, which seemed to match her appearance more than other pretty women. Though he knew it wasn’t possible, Bai Yunxian could picture Yun Shu as a beautiful woman…

But his train of thought broke completely when he felt that he was carried up by Yun Shu, taking him somewhere inside the room.

’What? Don’t tell me… he couldn’t help it anymore and wants to cross the limits?!’

Even if Bai Yunxian wouldn’t mind, rather quietly looked forward to it… it wasn’t the right time to do that! Not when he had a schedule to go to the Palace!

“My lord! Please let go! We can’t do that!” Bai Yunxian flailed his hands and feets, trying to get off of Yun Shu.

However, Yun Shu didn’t let him down, nor said anything before she reached the powder room and set him down in front of the mirror, holding a smirk on her face.

“What were you thinking we were about to do? I was only taking you to redo your makeup. Looks like my wife has quite a wild imagination, huh?”

Bai Yunxian stared at the mirror for a while, taking in her words before blushing once again.

’What was I even thinking?! Am, am I really… thinking about doing such things…?!’

’But then…! What was that? Why did he have to carry me all the way over here???’

Just as he saw the smirk and teasing face in the mirror, he already realized what he did. From the very first, Yun Shu’s plan was to make him fall for a trap and embarrass himself!

And he… he actually fell for it! Shame!

Bai Yunxian hid his face in his hands, trying to hide the blush from Yun Shu. though it didn’t matter to her as she took his hands off of his face effortlessly.

In a fit of shame, Bai Yunxian tried to take his hand away from Yun Shu, but the grip on him didn’t come off in the slightest, even if Yun Shu didn’t put a lot of pressure.

“Don’t throw a tantrum now, be a good girl and let me put on the lipstick for you. Or else I will tease you for real, in front of my brothers…!” Yun Shu couldn’t finish her words as Bai Yunxian snatched his hands away and covered her mouth with both hands, looking at her with pleading eyes.

“I’ll do as you say, don’t talk about this to anyone, Husband!”

His words tickled her heart as Yun Shu stared down at Bai Yunxian, swallowing her words that were about to come out.

’What the… this man is a total seductor.’

“Ahem! Well, fine. I won’t say that, now stay still and let me apply the lip rouge.” Yun Shu coughed to distract herself on purpose as she carefully put on the make up on Bai Yunxian, taking her time.

Her skills in putting on makeup was quite good, and it made Bai Yunxian curious about how he was so good at it.

’Did he put it on for someone else before? How is he so skilled in it?’ Bai Yunxian felt a hint of jealousy in his heart, staring at the mirror on his reflection.

“Since I was little, my mother had a wish to get a daughter. Unfortunately, no girl was born into our family, so my mother dressed me up as a girl often, putting on makeup and such. You seem curious, so that’s the story behind my skills on putting on makeup, I know how to braid hair too.” Yun Shu smiled at Bai Yunxian which he could see through the reflection on the mirror.

’He could tell what’s on my mind so easily? Am I really that readable?’

Bai Yunxian wondered as he touched his cheek subconsciously, causing the grin on Yun Shu’s face to widen.

Yun Shu took the chance to tease him again as she leaned closer to Bai Yunxian’s ear, whispering in a low and seductive tone, “Don’t worry. It’s not that you are too readable, it’s that you can’t hide your thoughts from me, your supposedly husband.”

“…!!!”

Bai Yunxian jumped and stood from his seat as he grabbed his ear, staring at Yun Shu in disbelief.

Is this man for real?

Why was he being this flirty?!

“What? Are you shy after making advances? Don’t worry since I don’t plan to stop it soon.” Yun Shu tugged his hair behind his ear as she stared at Bai Yunxian deeply, her eyes not leaving him.

“Let’s go, we’ll be late to get the seat.” Since it was almost time, Yun Shu let him go as she turned around and left, leaving the confused, shocked and embarrassed Bai Yunxian behind.

***

Royal Palace, Great Hall.

Everyone was enjoying themselves after taking their seats and welcoming both the Emperor and the Empress, when the situation was different for Yun Shu.

Especially the deadly stare from the Empress who seemed to be checking on her was hard to ignore.

Empress Yun, also Yun Shu’s Imperial aunt, was a woman especially known for her beauty across the continent. There was gossip even among the commoners that she was able to seduce Emperor Yun with her beauty and secure her position as the Empress; though they knew the truth very well.

Empress Yun was a woman of remarkable wisdom, talent and virtue aside from her beauty, and she was quite strict at maintaining it.

Becoming the main reason for fear for Yun Shu…

All the Yun brothers of the Yun household took their etiquette lesson from the Empress who showed interest in this aspect. And since she knew that Yun Shu was actually a girl, she made sure to put an extra harsh lesson for Yun Shu only, which made Yun Shu dislike her. Not that she ever showed it outside.

So Yun Shu tried her best to avoid meeting Empress Yun. but today, there were many other faces on standby that she really didn’t wish to see.

Yun Si’s sunken face was quite a good sight to see, but at the same time, the foxy smirk of Mo Ling Yuan ticked her off.

’That damn bastard is doing it on purpose, isn’t he?’

Yun Shu knew that Emperor Yun arranged for him to go together with Bai Yunxian in this mission to the East, but she wasn’t sure about leaving him alone with that bastard, nor did she plan to do so.

“A toast for the heroes of our Empire.” MO Ling Yuan toasted Yun Shu on purpose, but her composure, neutral expression, and cool performance was almost otherworldly.

“Thanks for caring so much about us, Chancellor of the State. You are quite remarkable yourself.”

Yun Shu smirked in the corner of her mouth as she finished the cup of wine in her hand, showing off with grace.

Mo Ling Yuan’s face twitched at the brilliant performance as he shut his mouth, not saying anything further.

Originally, Mo Ling Yuan always took Yun Shu as a rival, even in the plot. So there was nothing new for him to oppose her at every turn. Instead, he turned his attention to Bai Yunxian on purpose, who was sitting right next to Yun Shu.

“Please don’t mention it, Lord Yun. I would rather be pleased with your remarkable works within the Empire. Honestly, you did much more work than me to improve the Empire and its peoples well being.” Mo Ling Yuan’s eyes roamed over Bai Yunxian for a bit before returning back to Yun Shu again, “However, I didn’t expect your wife to be so talented as well.”

’Bastard…’ Yun Shu had no intention to play word games with Mo Ling Yuan, that disgusting pervert, so she turned him down in one move.

“It’s just how it is. If she is my wife, you should expect her to be remarkable in things.”

Mo Ling Yuan couldn’t refute her words as he only smiled to finish the conversation, the warm and friendly smile was sweet, yet a deadly poison that worked just fine. Beneath that kind and warm facade, there was a cold blooded snake living for ages, waiting to poison its enemy at any time.

While he maintained a cheerful and kind exterior, from inside, he is a crazy, sadistic, and twisted pervert from inside who enjoys snatching other men’s wives or women.

Many girls in the Capital have fallen for this deadly smile and went crazy over it, even becoming toxic fans. Not that it applied to Yun Shu though.

Bai Yunxian watched the interaction and small exchange of words between them.
