"Bo... Boss... save me..." The little chubby boy who burst into the elegant room stared at the knife tip pointed at his own throat, his eyes almost crossed, and his round belly quivered beneath his brocade clothes.
Who are you! Save you?
Mu Ge's gaze silently shifted to Mu Qingge.
"Shao Yueze, also known as Fatty Shao, his father is a Capital Commandant. He is also one of Luodu's playboys, considered my... friend, I guess." Mu Qingge explained in one sentence.
Mu Ge raised her brows slightly and said without showing any emotion, "Fatty Shao, why are you here?" After speaking, her eyes shifted to Qin Jinhao.
The one holding the knife was Qin Jinhao's guard, who naturally only listened to his orders. Now, since the latter had a request for her, granting such a small favor was not a difficult thing.
Sure enough, receiving Mu Ge's glance, Qin Jinhao gave a subtle nod to the guard.
Clang—!
The sharp blade instantly returned to its sheath. The guard retreated to his original position, as if he had never moved.
Mu Ge glanced calmly at the guard, the fleeting green light letting her know his level. If even a guard was a Green Realm expert, then what would Qin Jinhao's own level be?
"Oh my! If I had known Prince Rui was discussing matters with Brother Mu, I wouldn't have dared to intrude so presumptuously." Fatty Shao fawned with a grin towards Qin Jinhao, then trotted over to Mu Ge's side, asking, "Boss, I heard you went to the Sunset Wilderness? Isn't there a war going on there? Are you okay?"
"If something had happened, could I be sitting here having tea with Prince Rui?" Mu Ge swatted away Fatty Shao's intrusive hand, rolling her eyes.
"Hehe, true." Fatty Shao scratched his head, then sneaked a glance at Qin Jinhao, seeing that he didn't pay him any attention, he leaned closer to Mu Ge and whispered, "Brother Mu, you're just in time. I just heard that Flower Picking House is auctioning off something special tonight, why not come with me to check it out. Having tea here is no fun." After speaking, he raised his eyebrows, amusement sparkling in his eyes.
Flower Picking House?
Upon hearing this name, Mu Ge needed no explanation from Mu Qingge to guess what kind of place it was.
Initially, she wanted to refuse, but when her eyes met Qin Jinhao's cold gaze, she suddenly changed her mind. Patting the dust off her clothes, Mu Ge stood up and clapped a hand on Fatty Shao's shoulder, saying, "Lead the way."
Fatty Shao's heart leaped with joy, and he instantly stood straighter.
"Qingge, you..." Qin Jinhao frowned and said. He had heard the conversation between Mu Ge and Fatty Shao. Knowing Mu Ge was heading to a red-light district, he felt both displeased and slightly disdainful.
Indeed, a playboy remains a playboy.
Bai Xiyue also showed displeasure. She had accompanied Mu Qingge out, and if the latter left halfway, what would she do?
Mu Ge curved her lips into a smile and casually cupped her hand in a gesture of politeness towards Qin Jinhao: "The matter Prince Rui mentioned, I will inform my grandfather about it." Then she looked at Bai Xiyue with an amused smile: "I have some business to attend to, so I'll trouble His Highness to escort Sister Xiyue back to the Mu Mansion."
Upon hearing Mu Qingge's arrangement, Bai Xiyue was both shocked and unexpectedly delighted.
She couldn't believe that the usually disapproving Mu Qingge, who never liked her meeting with Prince Rui, not only brought her out today but also created an opportunity for the two to be alone.
This...
The surprise was so sudden that Bai Xiyue's eyes brimmed with bashful joy, exuding a charming allure.
Just as Qin Jinhao coincidentally looked over, seeing this captivating scene, he nodded unconsciously. When he snapped back to his senses, he realized that neither Mu Qingge nor Shao Yueze were still in the elegant room.
