Ling Xin initially wanted to say, "What does it matter to you who I marry?" But when she met his gaze, she felt a chilling intensity in his eyes that gave her the illusion that any rebuttal would lead to her doom. Yes, it had to be an illusion! How could this frail scholar possibly have any hold over her?
"Uh, fine, I'll give it a try," she admitted, lacking the courage to refuse. This Pei Xiuping was too twisted; if he were to create some embarrassing scene in public, she would lose all face and have no way to survive in Fengcheng County.
Pei Xiuping was quite pleased with her response. He turned to Lou Yuxiao and said, " mister Lou, it's getting late. You should head back. Starting tomorrow, Ling Xin will assist you with your treatment." Lou Yuxiao wanted to ask more, but before he could utter a word, he was already pushed out of Yiming Pavilion by Pei Xiuping.
Ling Xin let out a long sigh of relief and then perked up again, puffing her cheeks indignantly as she declared, "Hmph! I intend to use medicine on you so that you'll never be able to perform again!"
She recalled how she had merely been trying to help him when Lou Yuxiao had repeatedly teased her. Unable to contain her anger, she impulsively decided to slip him some medicine.
But would this medicine really last for three years? She found herself doubting it.
Pei Xiuping's brow furrowed slightly as if he were contemplating something. After a long silence, he asked, "You drugged him?"
That gaze was terrifying. Ling Xin quickly defended herself, "Uh, don’t worry! I didn’t drug you."
"That won't do; I need to confirm," Pei Xiuping insisted. He certainly didn’t want to be left impotent due to her recklessness.
"How can you confirm—"
Before she could finish her sentence, his lips sealed hers.
His lips were warm and carried a strange yet unsettling aura. They were soft and sweet beyond Pei Xiuping's imagination. He had only intended to punish her slightly, but upon touching her lips, he found himself lost in the sensation, reluctant to pull away.
Ling Xin's small face flushed bright red, tears glistening in her eyes. Embarrassed and angry, she pushed him away forcefully, slapping him across the face with a resounding "smack." "Ugly Monster, who gave you permission to kiss me?"
The words "Ugly Monster" struck Pei Xiuping like a sharp blade, piercing his heart and leaving him wounded. A man who relied on his looks for a living was actually being despised by her!
However, when he looked into the bronze mirror that night and saw his bandaged face, he was taken aback. Even his own mother might not recognize him in this state.
Pei Xiuping didn’t spend too much time wallowing in self-pity before he was interrupted by Lou Yuxiao, who buzzed around Yiming Pavilion like an annoying fly.
After finishing her consultation, Ling Xin brewed a large pot of medicine and called out to Pei Xiuping, "You need to help him with a massage to enhance the medicine's effectiveness."
"Why should I?" Pei Xiuping immediately protested. He would do anything for Ling Xin, but serving that wild man Lou Yuxiao was absolutely out of the question! He refused to go!
"You have to!" Ling Xin insisted firmly. "Or do you want me to go myself?"
Pei Xiuping glared at her, thinking that unless he were dead, he would never let her go! But the idea of serving Lou Yuxiao left him feeling deeply reluctant.
With her face still flushed, Ling Xin hesitantly confessed, "Well, what if I go… something bad might happen, really! I might not be able to control myself…"
This was her greatest flaw; just seeing a handsome man's naked body made her heart race and led her to think wild thoughts, even act recklessly…
She cautiously glanced at Pei Xiuping and noticed his displeased expression, quickly lowering her head again.
But Pei Xiuping suddenly asked, "Then why did you have no reaction when you saw my body?"
This was what he cared about the most! She had seen him inside and out, yet she showed no reaction at all! Pei Xiuping's pride was once again wounded.
"Uh, you're not even handsome!" Ling Xin said with an air of certainty, her tone unapologetic.
Pei Xiuping: "..."
He silently reminded himself not to get angry! Not to get angry!
"Pei Xiuping, are you going or not?"
Pei Xiuping squeezed out two words through gritted teeth: "I'm going!"
How could he possibly not go? He would never allow her the chance to see another man's naked body, nor would he let her delicate fingers touch anyone else.
