Chapter 64.2 Fifth Kiss

“You’re awake.” His voice sounded a little faint.

He was a middle-aged man.

His features would be considered handsome, but his face looked sallow, and he had two large bags under his eyes.

Not only that, he had a sixty percent resemblance to Chu Cong.

Yan Mu almost instantly recognized the identity of the person in front of her.

This person would be Yu Yuan’s whetstone towards the end of the book—— the Eldest Prince, Chu Hui.

Yan Mu pretended to be calm and said, “Who are you? I don’t know you, why did you kidnap me?”

But the man didn’t immediately reply to Yan Mu, and instead just carefully observed her for a while.

Thus, without thinking properly, Yan Mu added another attribute to the Eldest Prince—— he likes other people’s wives.

Yan Mu knew that her face was quite beautiful.

She was afraid that the Eldest Prince would take a fancy to her.

Yan Mu was anxious inside, and she quickly thought of a plan.

She wasn’t married, so she wasn’t someone’s wife.

Next, she just needed to find the right moment to show love and admiration for the Eldest Prince, and she would succeed in making him feel disgusted with her.

Yan Mu hung her head while she thought and didn’t speak. 

Seeing that Yan Mu ignored him, a spark of interest in Chu Hui suddenly surged up.

“You hate me?” Chu Hui’s tone sounded both happy yet cold. 

Yan Mu shivered in fear and automatically said, “You brought me here out of nowhere, I naturally wouldn’t like you.”

As soon as she said that, she felt like biting her tongue off.

Because she noticed that Chu Hui’s excitement seemed to have increased.

F**k.

She didn’t want him to take a fancy to her.

She was the author, so she knew how much of a lunatic he was towards women.

She didn’t want her heart and kidney to be gouged out.

Yan Mu broke out into cold sweat.

“I wonder what your identity is?” Yan Mu tentatively asked.

Chu Hui didn’t hide it and frankly said, “I’m the Eldest Prince, Chu Hui.”

In the dim light, the dragon pattern embroidered with golden silk vaguely shimmered.

He stood up and slowly came to Yan Mu’s side.

He didn’t open his mouth to speak, but he bent down to get closer and closer to Yan Mu.

Cold sweat broke out on Yan Mu’s forehead.

She didn’t know what Chu Hui wanted to do.

Her mind quickly turned, thinking of countermeasures.

Recalling Chu Hui’s sc*mmy and cheap personality traits, Yan Mu spoke up first, “Did Your Highness capture me because you took a fancy to me?”

Sure enough, at her words, Chu Hui frowned, and his body unconsciously moved slightly away from Yan Mu.

“If Your Highness likes me, just say so,” Yan Mu laughed and said. “Becoming the concubine of the Eldest Prince is something that many women would wish for²求之不得 (qiúzhī-bùdé) – lit. seek but fail to get (idiom); fig. exactly what one’s been looking for.”

“Is that so?” Sure enough, Chu Hui’s tone turned cold.

He straightened up his body with some disinterest.

Then, he mercilessly pulled out Yan Mu’s hairpin.

“Wuu……”

The hair stuck on the hairpin was yanked hard, and Yan Mu tightly bit her lips from the pain.

Her eyes filled with tears, but she held them back from falling.

Chu Hui held up the hairpin and coldly asked Yan Mu, “Where did you get this hairpin?”

What Chu Hui was holding in his hand was the hairpin that Ah Yu had given her.

Could Chu Hui know that this hairpin was a keepsake from Xiang Wangfei?

Yan Mu’s heart thumped.

She calmed her mind and said, “This hairpin was given to me by His Second Highness at the bookstore opening.”

“Is that so? You even seduced my second brother.” Chu Hui sneered, “You really are a lecherous woman.”

You unfilial son, how dare you scold the author!

Yan Mu dared to be angry but didn’t dare to comment aloud.

In the future, when Yu Yuan turned the tables and became the master, she’d have to give Chu Hui’s *ss a few kicks.

Yan Mu was extremely angry inside, but on the surface, she still looked obedient.

Just when she thought she had muddled through, Chu Hui suddenly asked, “Do you know the origin of this hairpin?”

“I don’t.” Yan Mu pretended to be in fearful trepidation.

“This is a keepsake of the deceased Xiang Wangfei.” Chu Hui snorted, “You’d better explain to this king why Xiang Wangfei’s keepsake is in Chu Cong’s possession.”

“His Second Highness never told me about all this,” Yan Mu said.

“Right.” Chu Hui glanced at her contemptuously and said, “You’re just a lowly maidservant, you don’t deserve to know all this.”

!!!!!

Yan Mu’s fist tightened.

This insult, I’ll remember this.

Yan Mu weakly opened her mouth and asked, “Is Your Highness mistaken? There are many similar hairpins in this world.”

“Are you curious as to why this king would know?” Chu Hui laughed and said, “This hairpin, was made in this king’s shop for Xiang Wangfei when she was still alive.”

“……” Yan Mu was speechless.

It seems like I can’t get myself out of this today.

“Do you know why this king wants to capture you?” Chu Hui maliciously said, “Because King Xiang and his wife were burned to death by this king and my wife. Since you have this hairpin in your hand, it means that Chu Cong already knows about it.”

His tone was grim like a venomous snake.

“Why is Your Highness telling me all this?” Yan Mu’s back was covered in cold sweat.

Combining Chu Hui’s misogynistic and insane character, she had a bad premonition in her heart.

Sure enough, Chu Hui said, “Because this king has no intention of letting you out alive, so I want you to understand when you’re a ghost.”

After speaking, he threw the hairpin on the ground as if throwing away a piece of garbage.

Chu Hui took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped his hand.

After wiping, he threw the handkerchief to the ground.

The bad premonition in Yan Mu’s heart was getting stronger and stronger.

Chu Hui turned around and walked towards the exit.

Just when he was about to walk out the door, he turned to Yan Mu and said, “Since you were fortunate enough to receive the honor of wearing Xiang Wangfei’s hairpin……”

He laughed and stretched out his words maliciously, “Then die the same way as Xiang Wangfei. It’d be a great honor for a lowly maidservant like you.”

After speaking, without a hint of lingering, he walked out and closed the door.

The wooden door was closed with a creak, then Yan Mu vaguely heard him say, “light the fire”.

Her breath hitched and her eyes instantly widened.

Yan Mu desperately wanted to struggle, but the rope was too thick, and she simply had no way out.

Chu Hui, this person, is really such a cheat.

If she’d won Chu Hui’s favor, her heart and kidney would’ve been dug out by him; but if she hadn’t, she’d be burned alive by him, like now.

If I die, Yu Yuan will be very sad, right?

As Yan Mu’s vision grew dark, Yu Yuan’s face appeared in her mind.

I still haven’t accompanied Yu Yuan through the plot.

I can’t die.

Yan Mu started to struggle again.

Smoke was rising, and the flames were getting hotter and hotter.

Yan Mu felt like she was in a big oven, and even her sweat was about to evaporate.

The temperature in the dilapidated warehouse grew higher and higher.

Yan Mu really couldn’t struggle anymore.

She looked at the ceiling, which was red from the reflection of fire, in despair.

I really want to see Yu Yuan one last time before I die.

She still hadn’t seen enough of such a handsome face.

——————————————————————————————————————

The author has something to say:

I remember a little cutie commented before: Will Yuanyuan be very sad if he knew that Ah Mu kissed him just to replenish her lifespan?

Of course not hahaha, Yuanyuan would be very happy-_- He feels like if so, Yan Mu can’t leave him anymore.
