Chapter 37: Burn with Anxiety
Translator: Beibei Ren
After an hour, Hua Yueling left Tianjiu Tower merrily . For they didnât hire a sedan, she had to return on foot with Ye You, who was taking a large package of superior Biluochun (a special brand of tea) in hand .
âYe You, do you think I am bad?â Noticing the expressionless and silent Ye You who constantly twitched his lips while looking at her, Hua Yueling found it amusing and asked .
âNo!â Ye You hesitated for a while and answered .
âThen, do you think Iâm very bad?â Hua Yueling blinked her eyes and looked at him in a cute way .
âMy Lady, you are sly . â Ye You replied helplessly .
âYou mean I will get what I want by hook or by crook, right?â Hua Yueling stretched one of her hand to touch the Sword of Beauty on her waist and smiled brilliantly .
Ye You found no words to answer her, but his deep eyes had told her the answer .
âHa-ha, do you admire me?â Hua Yueling took the bright flashing in his eyes as kind of praise .
While hearing this, Ye You couldnât help laughing . âYes, I really admire you, My Lady . â Looking at her small head, Ye You was curious that what inside was .
âHa-ha, that means you have a good master . Come on, I have to make a full preparation for tonight . I cannot take any risks . â With wild laughter, Hua Yueling quickened her step because the night was pressing .
On their way, Hua Yueling shopped in some women-only stores . Ye You didnât know what she had bought, but he found she was quite efficient . Generally, the daughter of the officials would hang in a store for half a day, but she had finished her shopping so soon as a cup of tea was stewed .
âMy Lady, what do you want to buy?â Ye You was curious about this woman .
âThe items of women, Ha-ha, well, Ye You, do you think I am a beauty?â Hua Yueling asked him seriously after smile .
Ye You was taken aback again . Looking at her pretty face, Ye You blushed and stammered, âMy Lady, you are beautiful in nature . â
âReally? I suppose so . Ha-ha, so which do you think is prettier, Ouyang Ruyan or me?â Hua Yueling raised her graceful eyebrows and squinted at Ye Youâs handsome face .
âAh!â Ye You exclaimed unconsciously and twinkled his eyes .
âFine, I know . She is prettier than me . â Hua Yueling put on a countenance as if being hurt .
âNo, no, My Lady . In fact, you and she are different with your distinct merits . The most attraction of Ouyang Ruyan lies in her talent, not her appearance . Although she is also a beauty, the beauty of women cannot attract a man for a long time, right?â Ye You said profoundly .
âHa-ha, youâre not a lecher . â Hua Yueling laughed, which made Ye Youâs mouth keep twitching . He was definitely not a lecher .
âTalent? Donât I have talent?â Hua Yueling knew that the owner of her body was born with a silver spoon and versatile in music, chess, calligraphy and painting . Was such a woman worse than a whore?
âWell, your talent is superior but a little bit inferior to her . Have you forgotten your duels a few months ago?â Ye You reminded her .
âI forgot . But this time, Iâm going to take all the four titles of Capital--the most talented woman, the most beautiful woman, the most evil woman and the most base woman, ha-ha!â Upon finishing, she burst into wild laughter, which astonished all the passers-by . But Hua Yueling didnât care at all, she was herself-carefree, unrestrained, arrogant and wild .
Ye You got muddled, and stayed away from her to avoid being misunderstood as a lunatic . However, he couldnât guess Hua Yuelingâs idea . Every time, it must be out of his expectation, which was the biggest reason why he liked to stay beside her .
Hua Yueling returned to the Prime Ministerâs Mansion from the Ministry of Penalty and bumped into her father who was wearing a much worried face .
âLingâer, why are you back so late? Dad has been waiting for you all day . â Hua Tieying hurriedly rushed forward .
âDad! Whatâs up?â Hua Yueling wanted to laugh as soon as she saw him . Hua Yueling handed Ye You the things she was carrying, and asked him to go in first . Then she walked aside and sat down gracefully for tea .
âLingâer, why did you go to the Qinyan Tower in the morning? Donât get me wrong . Thereâs nothing between Dad and her . â Hua Tieying confessedâwithoutâbeingâpressed, âWould you mind not going to her place anymore?â
âAah!â Hua Yueling laughed and said, âDad! Youâre blushing . If you like her, just chase her . Youâre the Prime Minister!â
âDonât think too much . Yun Niang keeps her nose clean . Donât ruin her reputation . â Hua Tieying showed some distress .
"Come on, youâre all flirting with each other . Donât say that you two have no affair? Dad, listen, if you donât marry her right away, or Iâll ruin her reputation! Youâre not young, thereâs no more years for you to cherish . When you dawdle to 50 or 60 years old, you will feel regretful for failing to do it right now! If there was nothing else, I will go in!" Hua Yueling said it like a machine gun, then turned around and left .
"Lingâer, you, donât mess around!" Hua Tieying hurriedly chased after her and caught her, blushing, "My daughter, how can you talk to me with that tone?"
"Dad, cherish the people in front of you . I can see that Yun Niang likes you, too . Why donât you give her some happiness earlier?" Hua Yueling gave him a glance .
"Lingâer, to tell you the truth . Indeed, Yun Niang and I are really in love with each other . Although that will make me feel sorry for your mother, but over the years, I do have the idea of looking after Yun Niang . However, she refused all the time . You know, I canât force her . " Hua Tieying admitted .
"Dad, I wonder if you are my real dad . Canât you even get laid a woman, even the woman who loves you? Since being gentle is impracticable, you just fuck her directly! Women are tenderhearted when they have sex with the one they love! Besides, she does like you and she wonât refuse marring you?" Hua Yueling gave his father a good idea .
Looking at his bold daughter, Hua Tieying was stunned and speechless .
"Dad, to be honest, do you want me to help you? What has been done cannot be undone?" Hua Yueling pushed Hua Tieying a little with her cunning face and blinking eyes .
"No, no . Lingâer, donât you really object to it?" Hua Tieying was a little excited .
"Of course not, neither of Yujin . Dad, just go after her! If you need help, I will be available at any time . Just hurry up! If I am in between you, trust me, both of you canât take it . " Hua Yueling moved up her eyebrows, and her face looked evil .
"Donât . No need . Since you agree, I will succeed this time!" Hua Tieying thought what Hua Yueling said was very reasonable and sensible . Life was short . If he didnât marry her, they would grow old .
"Dad, sharpening your baby âswordâ carefully . Ha ha, Iâm in . " Hua Yueling laughed and entered .
Hua Tieying had a stream of sweat on his forehead . The cold wind made him tremble . When had his daughter been so strong?
"Good! Since being gentle is impracticable, I must be tough! I must have her tonight!" Hua Tieying clenched his fist . Looking at the dark sky outside, his majestic and upright face showed the same evil smile as Hua Yueling did . It would been so long that he couldnât wait .
