Addicted To Boundlessly Pampering You Chapter 34

Chapter Thirty Four Indescribable Trust

By the time they returned to their room, all three of them had already eaten breakfast. Mu Yalun sat down on the circular, wooden chair. The light smile on his face caused everyone to feel much more comfortable.

"How have you fallen to this state Xue gongzi? What of your ling xiong [1]?"

"This…" Gu Weiyi stilled in her speech. She didn't wish to lie to Mu Yalun, but she didn't wish to tell him about gege's affairs either. Although he was someone that she held trust in, this matter was something huge. And, currently, he was nothing more than a familiar stranger to her.

But Mu Yalun saw that Gu Weiyi looked awkward and wasn't speaking any longer, so he no longer showed interest in the topic. Everybody had their own secrets and he would never be the person to force someone else to divulge their own pains. Instead, he diverted the topic to something else. "Then, what are Xue gongzi's future plans?"

Plans? Gu Weiyi was somewhat at a loss. Naturally, she wished to find gege, so that they could resume happily pa.s.sing their days by. But what could the current her do? Should she tell Mu Yalun her secrets and ask him to help her find them? And even if she said this, would he agree to help? After all, they had only met two times. He had no obligations to help her and neither did she have any grounds to ask him for help. Thinking up to here, Gu Weiyi suddenly hung her head and shut her mouth.

"I don't know."

When Mu Yalun saw Gu Weiyi's dispirited appearance as she hung her head low, he couldn't help but reach out to comfort her. "Don't worry. As long as you don't dislike me, Xue gongzi can follow me back to my humble home."

When Mu Yalun said these words, they sparked Zhuang Sheng's surprise, and he immediately opened his mouth to protest this. "Young Master, impossible! How can a strange enter into the stronghold? If any information is leaked out, then…" When he reached this point, Zhuang Sheng seemed to have realized what he was saying and stopped himself. "In short, Young Master, Xue gongzi cannot follow us back!"

"Zhuang Sheng! It seems like I've indulged you too much. Have you forgotten who the Master is?" Mu Yalun immediately reprimanded him, his usually soft face suddenly turned cold, it was as if he was a completely different person from the soft person he normally was. Zhuang Sheng looked in disbelief at his Master who was emitting anger and killing intent. Then, he turned his head to resentfully shoot a glance at Gu Weiyi, before he bitterly hung his head and stiffly said, "Subordinate doesn't dare."

When she saw this scene, Gu Weiyi felt embarra.s.sed. She didn't wish to be the person who tore up others' friendships. To them, she was also a stranger. How could she be so easily trusted? She didn't blame Zhuang Sheng for his discontentment and cold actions at all. After all, everyone was like this, the desire to protect oneself against others was indispensable.

"Mu gongzi, please do not make things difficult because of me. After all, I'm a stranger that just arrived, I can't be so easily trusted. Xue appreciates gongzi's kindness." Opening her mouth to tactfully decline him, Gu Weiyi's face carried sincerity, and honesty laced her tone.

Faintly smiling again, Mu Yalun, once again, resumed his previous expression. It was as if his previous anger had never existed, his entire person was as gentle as the spring wind and rain. Mu Yalun's fondness towards Xue Wushuang, this spirited person, sprouted from his heart, his trust in her didn't have any particular reason. It was a subtle feeling, he wanted to see him to stay by his side. From the first time they encountered each other at Intoxicated Fragrance House, he had these thoughts. It was very strange. He always felt as if they were connected by fate and his feeling was extremely intense. Perhaps they would, one day, become intimate friends. And regarding Zhuang Sheng's rudeness, he had been angry about it all along. He disliked how he judged others on appearance alone, and disliked how he felt that he was superior above others. He had followed him for so many years, yet he remained so stubborn, refusing to change. But his anger didn't mean that he wished to issue an excessive action against him. Although he was stubborn, his loyalty was unquestionable. Moreover, over all of these years, he was fortunate enough to have Zhuang Sheng constantly by his side, being responsible and diligent regarding his own health. He was someone who could tell right from wrong. No matter how gentle he was, he also had a side of him with a bad temper.

"Xue gongzi, don't be suspicious. My family's slave has offended you, let me apologize again. I very sincerely wish to invite you to be a guest at my house, please, Xue gongzi, give me this honor."

On the surface, these words seemed pleading and mild. However, they carried an undercurrent of threat, suggesting that, if she didn't go to his home, it would mean she despised him. Gu Weiyi felt somewhat helpless. She hadn't expected that a person so easy to get along with would be so underestimated. His words were soft, yet firm, it left people to be unable to refuse them. But she knew that he did this just to protect her honor and dignity, nothing more. Mu Yalun was such a thoughtful and considerate person, he had such a good character. She didn't know which woman would be fortunate enough to receive this man's love. However, although she thought this way, she didn't feel any envy. Because, as long as she found gege again and returned to their side, she would become the happiest person.

"Since it's like this, Xue won't decline anymore."

By the side, Zhuang Sheng looked at Gu Weiyi with ruthlessness in his eyes, as if he were looking at an enemy. This youngster was so handsome, he was even able to cause Young Master's usual wisdom to fade away. But it was uncertain whether or not this youngster only entered their lives because a sect had paid him to come be a spy and deliberately seduce Young Master!

If Gu Weiyi heard the words in Zhuang Sheng's heart, just now, she would probably erupt into laughter. She was currently disguised as a male, how was she supposed to seduce his Young Master? Don't tell her that Mu Yalun was a h.o.m.os.e.xual, this Zhuang Sheng's way of thinking was truly too amusing.

"It's rare for our fates to intertwine, wouldn't it be better if we called each other brothers? How about I call you Xue di and you call me Mu gege?"

Gu Weiyi hiccuped, feeling like she was about to let off cold sweat. Xue di and Mu gege? She played with her fingers and uneasily said, "This doesn't seem good. It would be better if you call me Wushuang and I call you Mu xiong!" Directly calling each other names was still close, but they must not call each other the names that he had just mentioned.

After muttering to himself for a second, Mu Yalun looked at Gu Weiyi with a smile. "This way is also good. I'm going to be honest with you Wushuang, I'm the master of Blue Snow Stronghold. At this moment, I'm going to be returning back to the stronghold to attend to some matters."

Blue Snow Stronghold? She hadn't heard it before, but she saw the proud expression on Zhuang Sheng's face. Could it be that this was a well-known faction? Gu Weiyi shook her head at Mu Yalun. "To tell you the truth, Mu.. Mu xiong, I spent my entire childhood deep in the mountains. Regarding the outside world, I'm unclear of many things. So, I don't know where Blue Snow Stronghold is, asking Yalun to not take offense, ah!"

So it's like this, ah! Mu Yalun's heart moved when he heard his words. No wonder he looked as if he didn't know anything and seemed so pure. In reality, it was because he was a piece of fine jade that hadn't been polluted by the filthy, outside world. In his heart, an even bigger fraction of pity raised for Gu Weiyi. However, by the side, Zhuang Sheng still hadn't come around. The gaze he looked at Gu Weiyi with was one that someone would look at a country b.u.mpkin with. He cast Gu Weiyi a disdainful glance, as if he wanted to say: Ignorant! But, he completely forgot that he was just thinking that a certain person was a spy. He believed that Blue Snow Stronghold was so well known that everyone under the heavens knew of it and wished to enter.

This person, Gu Weiyi had long since known that he was the same host of the carnival at the lantern festival that night. Then, Mu Yalun must be the person who created the twin lanterns, and he must also be the master that Zhuang Sheng kept mentioning on that night. Unexpectedly, the male that seemed so competent on that night was actually such an overly suspicious, petty person. You really couldn't judge a person based on their appearances. She didn't wish to mind him, but then a thought spun around in her mind: On that night, the killers appeared during the time that Zhuang Sheng went to get the twin lanterns. Gege would definitely send people to follow him. So perhaps she would get some news of gege when she entered Blue Snow Stronghold.

She definitely had to enter this Blue Snow Stronghold before she would be a.s.sured.
