Chapter 53: Wait to be Kidnapped… Mistress!

“Also, he leaves his lover alone and enjoys another woman, a bastard playboy known within the Capital.”

Yun Shu said in leisure as she leaned back on her seat, while the others were astonished aside from Nine, who was already accustomed to her weird ideas.

“No way! You can’t do this, My Lord! It’s not a simple matter, it’s about your reputation!” Both the father and son of the Feng family strongly opposed the idea.

However, Yun Shu’s face was still expressionless as ever as she asked, “Then, do you have any other idea better than this?”

“…”

The table went silent.

“Here no one knows my identity, besides, the person to be in danger is there, not me.”

Yun Shu gestured towards Bai Yunxian as she finished talking, the father and son duo wasn’t able to refute her.

“But still…” Feng Haoran hesitated, but Yun Shu didn’t give them any time to argue as she stood up.

“No buts. Since the criminal doesn’t choose a specific time of the day to murder, we will carry out the operation immediately. Get prepared, I’m going to sit and wait for you guys on the carriage.”

As soon as Yun Shu finished talking, she exited the inn, leaving the three people behind her.

Since Bai Yunxian didn’t have anything to talk with Feng’s, he also stood up as he proceeded to walk out.

“Are you confident? Can you do it?”

“Don’t waste the opportunity given to you by the Lord.”

Bai Yunxian’s movement halted as he turned around.

It seems that to these people, Yun Shu occupied a big portion of respect and admiration in their hearts.

However, no one knew what Yun Shu meant to him.

“I’ll make sure to complete the task given by the lord. I won’t come back empty handed to disappoint him.”

.

.

.

Arriving at the front door, he noticed Yun Shu already in the carriage, glaring ahead.

When their eyes met, he felt uncomfortable, but to keep their cover, they had to leave together. Nevertheless, when clambering into the carriage, Bai Yunxian was grateful that he didn’t lend her a hand.

Bai Yunxian didn’t have the courage to talk while sitting across from her in such a confined space. Instead, he nervously ran his fingers over the bruise from the day before.

When Yun Shu grabbed his wrist all of a sudden, he was so surprised that his heart dropped out of his chest, bounced once or twice on the floor before finally coming to rest inside his throat.

“Stop,” Bai Yunxian said in desperation.

“If I twisted it, I could break it easily.” She mumbled under her breath before giving a shallow smile.

“Remember, we have to act properly in order not to get caught.” Yun Shu said as she rubbed her fingers on his wrist.

Wrenching his hand away from her, he put it out of her reach asking, “Do we have any other leads now that you started the mission? How can the lord be so sure that he would definitely come and try to kill me?”

“I’ll be taking care of that. You don’t need to worry about the evidence since there is a lot of evidence worming around the floor inside the room.” She said, her voice empty of emotion.

This man was seriously…!

So annoying!

Always acting as if he owns this world.

He wanted to yell, but seeing Yun Shu’s serious expression, he held his tongue.

“My man infiltrated their gang last night. The informant already told them about you. They really want to kidnap you now,” She said, a tiny grin hovering on her lips.

“Do they really want to kidnap me?”

Instead of answering, Yun Shu gestured to the driver to start the carriage. With the horses starting to run, a low vibration could be felt throughout his body, as they drove away from the inn.

As the rays of the setting sun fell over half his face, Yun Shu turned to Bai Yunxian, saying, “A few days ago, I got maried to a cute girl in the Capital, I guess you already knew that from my subordinates. But do you know what’s the amazing fact? The girl whom I married, surprisingly, looks almost exactly like you when she dolled herself up with makeup and such.”

“Then, I guess I have a common face. You’re not the first person to say something like that, My Lord.” He said, hoping he sounded convincing.

Scoffing, Yun Shu said, “I just left the mansion the day after we got married, and as free spirited she is, my wife also vanished from the manor in the midnight. Though I have people looking for her. I need to make sure of a few things.”

Unable to avoid her gaze any longer, Bai Yunxian turned to her, his expression outraged.

Yun Shu had a small, albeit twisted, smile on her face. Her usually clear eyes, now a shade darker.

She looked to be puzzling out something internally. Coming to a decision, Yun Shu darted a hand out towards Bai Yunxian’s neck, wrapping her fingers around his throat. His eyes widened in surprise and shock.

Bringing her face closer to him, Yun Shu spoke, “I think you might be that girl, My wife.”

“Are you mad?” Bai Yunxian exclaimed in dismay.

However, Yun Shu’s face was set in stone. This was not a joke.

If so, then, did he know about his plan way before they met here?

***

Yun Shu doubted his story of being a fallen noble from the border, forget about being a courtesan in the brothel. His distrust was evident in his movements, always staying uncomfortably close. to him.

“I’ll take the through explanation from your mouth once we get back, but for now, guess you need to cooperate with me.”

Yun Shu’s face had a cold expression which made Bai Yunxian feel shiver down his spine. He knew that this time, he won’t let things go so easily.

After they got out of the carriage, Bai Yunxian thought he could gain some distance, forcing Yun Shu to give him some space.

He was hyperaware of the naked stares from the surrounding people. Attempting to put the passerby’s out of his mind, Bai Yunxian spoke, gesturing towards the sitting place across the road, “I’m going.”

“Direct encounter maybe dangerous, rather circle around.” Yun Shu said.

“Then, respectfully, your highness, move away from me. No one is going to approach me while you are here and risk the rath of the Playboy rich noble.” Bai Yunxian said with a hint of mockery, his voice not reflecting his nervousness.

Yun Shu stretched out a hand to him, pulling Bai Yunxian towards her, sitting on the nearby bench.

“They are going to kidnap you because they think you’re my lover. I only need to be here for a little while longer, so please try to look like you are enjoying your time with me.” She said in a soft whisper.

“Lover?” Bai Yunxian asked questioningly. “Isn’t it common knowlage that you’ll have more than one lover as a playboy, and you’ll leave your lover to play in the brothels all day long?”

“Well, if I have a lot of lover, then that would make you my mistress.” She said, winking at him.

“Originally, they know that you are my official fiance who couldn’t restrain my playboy nature and stop me from going in brothels. After I left you here, I didn’t came back and went to play again. You are searching for me everywhere, but couldn’t find me out.”

With that, Yun Shu stood up and shoved a piece of paper in Bai Yunxian’s hands as she left and sat on the other side of the road.

Buying a newspaper from a boy selling them, Yun Shu took a seat and started intently reading it. People walking past stared at her, but she seemed not to notice.

Bai Yunxian was stunned as he saw her movements, then opened the paper with curiosity on what’s inside.

“Relax and wait to be kidnapped… mistress.”

It was definitely writeen with an annoyingly teasing tone!

Bai Yunxian scoffed at Yun Shu’s outrageous comment, but he didn’t dared to throw the piece of paper away since he would get punished for nothing. Yun Shu likes to pick on him, and he could take little things into account just to mess with him.

Looking around at the people passing by. His eyes met that of a gentlemen wearing a green but cooling robe.

He looked to be in his twenties, with a neatly cut hair and a gentle demeanor, that of a scholar. Bai Yunxian recognised the guy who was now the top suspect of Yun Shu, since he saw the portrait of this guy in Yun Shu’s room. He luckily did not seem to know who he was. Nevertheless, Bai Yunxian quickly looked away from him.

’Can such a gentle looking man do something so disgusting like this? Killing, raping, cutting a dead body into pieces?’
