Chapter 97: Secret Revealed

’Just what is—’

However, Bai Yunxian was shocked to lock his eyes with Yun Shu, and even more shocked to see her state.

Drip, drip, drip…

Blood started to flow out of Yun Shu’s nose as she continued to stare at Bai Yunxian blankly.

“Lord Yun!” Bai Yunxian felt horrified as he wanted to jump on Yun Shu and see what happened, but the chains binding him didn’t let him free to do as he liked.

“Wait, wait, ahh… You need to calm down, it’s not what you think it is…” Yun Shu tried to explain herself, but the situation was way too embarrassing that the more she looked at him, the more blood flowed out of her nose.

“Ahh… Lord Yun… why?” Bai Yunxian’s tears didn’t know any bounds as they flowed down.

Again, just again…

When he was prepared to give up everything just for his sake, there he was, descending from the heavens to free him off of all the hardships.

How could he not fall for such a man?

Bai Yunxian was crying, which made Yun Shu flabbergasted.

What… why is he crying? Did I do something wrong?

“Yun Shu cleaned off her blood as she walked closer to him, holding his face with both hands as she made him look at her.

“Look at me, see? I’m not bleeding anymore, it’s just an… old sickness of mine that happens often, you don’t need to worry about it. It’s not your… fault.”

Yun Shu felt guilty for lying, as if she turned into a bad girl lying to him, who looked like an innocent boy staring at her with pure and concerned eyes.

If she saw it technically, then Bai Yunxian was actually responsible for this bleeding.

How could she tell him she had a nosebleed because of his… ahem!

Anyway, Yun Shu sat down by the bedside as she pulled his clothes together and hid his bare chest, it was not appropriate!

After that, Yun Shu looked around to find something more to wrap him with.

The room was almost clean aside from the mirrors on each side of the wall, Yun Shu had a bad feeling as she looked up towards the ceiling.

’Ah, I knew it!’

’That woman sure has a perverted taste!’

Yun Shu’s face slapped herself inside her mind for imagining perverted things. And turning at Bai Yunxian made her think of a more perverted imagination.

Yun Shu shreds the red curtains drawn on the bedside and starts to wrap them around Bai Yunxian’s body.

“What is this?” Bai Yunxian was surprised and became a little nervous at the same time to see how Yun Shu was getting closer to him and wrapping him around.

’I-I can smell his body fragrance!’ Bai Yunxian felt dizzy and ashamed as he blushed crimson red.

“You’ll catch a cold if you wear this thin piece of clothing. I’m helping you to stay warm.” Yun Shu replied in a dry voice, not daring to look into those eyes.

“My lord, you don’t need to do this much, I can take care of it myself. Rather, you should run away before someone gets here.” Bai Yunxian protested as he tried to push Yun Shu away, however, the moment he placed his hands on Yun Shu’s chest, his body froze.

“Don’t you know we are raiding this mansion tonight? I took care of everything that was necessary, now we’ll stay here till they are done with their parts…” Yun Shu’s words paused when she felt something big press against her chest.

’What is this???’ Bai Yunxian’s brain stopped functioning.

’Ah, looks like I got busted.’ Yun Shu thought without any change in her expression.

Watching Bai Yunxian’s panicked and questioning look, Yun Shu found it to be rather fun and interesting.

’Hmm, look how cute he is acting. Should I tease him a little?’

Bai Yunxian freaked out as he snatched his hands away and looked at Yun Shu’s chest, then at her face, then again at her chest in disbelief.

“L-lord?” Bai Yunxian stuttered as he said in a low voice.

My lord is a man, why is his chest so soft? A-and… w-what are those bulging things???!!!

He wouldn’t remember any of this after we go back anyway, it’s alright even if he learns of my gender, right?

Yun Shu wasn’t that worried as she looked around her pocnet and took out the key, unlocking the handcuffs on Bai Yunxian’s hand and feet one by one.

“My lord, please answer me!” Bai Yunxian shrieked out as he begged her.

“Why do I need to say that? Didn’t you realise it by now?” Yun Shu said in a nonchalant voice.

’What does he mean?!’

’Does he mean that, all this time, he… he is actually a she?’

Did he hide his identity on purpose? To deceive me?

Bai Yunxian couldn’t believe his ears as he stared at Yun Shu with a devastated look.

He never imagined Yun Shu as a woman, not even in his wildest dreams.

How it was even possible for hwr to hide this identity when she was directly related to the royal family?

How many people knew this?

Or is it that I was the only one to not know of this?

In an instant, a lot of questions came in Bai Yunxian’s mind which made him question Yun Shu’s disposition, his trust that he placed in Yun Shu and everything.

However, suddenly it occurred to him that he also hid his identity to the outside world for a long time.

Everyone has a secret in their heart that they must cover up.

Was it something of that sort?

If so, why reveal it now?

Was it because she trusted him, or was it some sort of test to confuse him?

A lot of thinsg were going on inside Bai Yunxian’s mind, but Yun Shu didn’t mind it.

Rather, she found Bai Yunxian’s confused and dazed expression really cute that she wanted to pinch his cheeks though stopped her hand at the right moment from an upcoming disaster.
