Chapter 1506 - 1501: Impossible to Be With You (Third Update)
"Did you make a mistake? I don’t know your master! I’m a maid at the City Lord Mansion, and I’m here to make a midnight snack for the lady because she’s hungry!"
Mu Shuangshuang thick-skinnedly refused to admit she was caught.
"Miss, you’d better come with me!"
"..."
"Who’s your master? Shen Feng or Ye Fantian?" Mu Shuangshuang asked.
"I cannot casually say the master’s name; miss, you’ll know when you’re there!"
Go to hell, you tell me to go, and I just go? How embarrassing would that be?
Mu Shuangshuang glanced at the window, calculating the likelihood of throwing away the food box and escaping.
The man seemed to know Mu Shuangshuang’s thoughts.
"Miss, I advise you to abandon those ideas in your mind! The entire City Lord Mansion is heavily guarded. If you jump out, our elite Da Wei soldiers will surely surround you.
At that time, not only will you fail to escape, but you’ll also end up suffering!"
The words of the man in black enlightened Mu Shuangshuang.
She indeed couldn’t cause a commotion; if something happened here, Fengzi and Xing Beichen would definitely risk their lives to save her.
They are people of deep emotion and loyalty; even if a blade were placed at their necks, they wouldn’t leave!
Mu Shuangshuang followed the man in black, taking twists and turns, until they arrived at a secluded little courtyard.
Before stepping inside, she heard the sound of someone playing the zither.
The zither music was beautiful, much better than anything Mu Shuangshuang had heard in various settings in her previous life, whether on TV or in films.
But playing the zither so late at night, isn’t it scary?
Inexplicably, Mu Shuangshuang thought of horror movies!
"Miss, go in yourself; I’ll be standing guard outside!"
The man in black told Mu Shuangshuang.
Seeing the man’s firm attitude, Mu Shuangshuang picked up the food box and a jug of wine, and walked in.
Actually, she didn’t need to guess; she knew who the person inside was, she just wasn’t willing to admit it in her heart.
Mu Shuangshuang freed a hand and knocked on the door, immediately hearing Shen Feng’s voice inside.
"Come in!"
His voice was as cold as always, and once Mu Shuangshuang entered, the music stopped abruptly.
There were several candle lamps in the room, making it very bright.
Upon seeing Mu Shuangshuang, Shen Feng’s expression softened for a moment.
But soon, it returned to normal.
"Why did you call me here?" Mu Shuangshuang asked directly.
"Do you like this zither music?" Shen Feng didn’t answer Mu Shuangshuang’s question but instead asked about the zither music.
"There’s nothing to like or dislike! Not annoying when someone plays it, but I wouldn’t play it myself!"
Mu Shuangshuang said.
"So you don’t like it," Shen Feng said, lightly plucking the zither string with a "thump" sound.
It was a bit grating, Mu Shuangshuang frowned.
"I don’t like it either! I don’t like anything from your Ning Dynasty! Except for you!"
While Shen Feng spoke, his eyes stared straight at Mu Shuangshuang.
"The Ning Dynasty has many good things: foods, toys, even lots of beautiful women. Why focus on a village woman?" Mu Shuangshuang didn’t like the way Shen Feng spoke.
If given a choice, she’d rather have the silent Shen Feng from back then.
In the escort agency, not one escort master treated him kindly.
He never minded.
Even when gnawing on hard bread daily, he never complained.
But this alone should have made Mu Shuangshuang realize his identity.
There are only two kinds of people treated unequally: the weak and the naturally privileged who can tolerate what others cannot!
But knowing it back then wouldn’t help.
She couldn’t foresee what went on to happen.
"You’re not a village woman!" Shen Feng said more seriously.
"You’re the future Crown Princess Consort, perhaps even Empress of Da Wei!"
"..."
When Shen Feng finished speaking, Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t help but put the food box aside and clutch her stomach, crouching down to laugh heartily.
"Shen Feng, have you forgotten to take your medicine? There are lunatics in ancient times too? I can’t hold it anymore..."
"..."
Mu Shuangshuang often spat out strange words, Shen Feng was used to them, but this time, he felt these weren’t pleasant words.
His gaze unconsciously fell on Mu Shuangshuang laughing uncontrollably on the ground.
The young girl wore a coarse cloth garment, her face free of makeup, with bright eyes and shining teeth, her delicate little face full of vitality.
She looked truly simple, without any valuable thing on her.
But it was precisely this simplicity that made Shen Feng see something other women did not have.
Her confidence, strength, and audacity!
At least, no one else could be so unrestrained before him, knowing he is the Second Prince of Da Wei!
Shen Feng oddly liked this about Mu Shuangshuang.
What others dared not do, she dared!
"You can’t get out!" Shen Feng said.
"So, the Second Prince plans to imprison me as your slave when love fails?" Mu Shuangshuang’s face hardened.
Her gaze toward Shen Feng grew more murderous.
She wasn’t sure she was necessarily Shen Feng’s match.
But only by doing this could she break through!
"I don’t want to fight you, unless you want those two men to suffer!" Shen Feng suddenly said.
Mu Shuangshuang frowned, her voice suddenly rising, "You dare—"
"Shen Feng, if you’re truly my friend, let us go!
Two armies as enemies, you can entirely rely on your strength to compete with Wen Nantian, why kidnap his daughter and ask him to bring the city defense map?
Didn’t you say that thing was useless to you?"
Mu Shuangshuang stared at Shen Feng, her eyes filled with determination, endurance, and emotions Shen Feng couldn’t understand.
"Shen Feng, liking someone doesn’t mean possessing them, doesn’t mean plundering.
If you’re willing, we can be friends for a lifetime. I can cook for you when you’re hungry, just like in Xing City.
If you feel tired, Fengzi and I can arrange a room, so you can stay long-term!"
Mu Shuangshuang was playing the sentimental card.
She knew Shen Feng wasn’t easy to deal with.
Yet, it wasn’t entirely hopeless.
After all, they’d been together for so long.
To say the least, she had saved him!
"That’s not what I want!" Shen Feng’s face was unpleasant.
"But that’s all I can give you! Besides this, I have nothing!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
"You..."
Just as Shen Feng was about to speak, shouts erupted from the City Lord Mansion.
"There’s a fire..."
"There’s a fire..."
"The study’s on fire..."
"Quick, put out the fire..."
(Sorry, there was a power outage last night, so no update... However, there will be a burst update next month, at least a hundred thousand words, planning to save this much draft, no need to make up for yesterday’s update, hope to focus on storing drafts, kisses!)
