Lose My Heart to the Lovely Kitten Princess - Chapter 215

Chapter 215 Redeem Myself by Investigating the Hu Merchants

Cheng Xiaoxiao originally thought that this matter would end here, but Chu Yunshen coldly looked at Xiaowu by the pavilion and faintly instructed again.

“Do you need me to say anything more? Go and receive another twenty flogs.”

Again?

Please spare me!

Even Cheng Xiaoxiao felt her butt ache just listening to it. She was spared anyway. Besides, she had promised Xiaowu to investigate the cream with him, so she couldn’t bear to let him be punished back-to-back.

Cheng Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to grab Chu Yunshen’s wide sleeve and wave it again and again. She blinked hard at Chu Yunshen with her big sparkly eyes, trying to get a trace of Chu Yunshen’s kindness.

Chu Yunshen enabled the cat to act cute to him while continuing to give other instructions.

“The Datura that you mentioned is related to the businessmen of the barbarian merchants of the Hu tribe. Our country has always had a beef with them.”

Chu Yunshen paused for a moment before turning his gaze from Mu Bai to Xiaowu. “This is a serious issue. You must not act rashly.”

Based on Cheng Xiaoxiao’s judgment, Xiaowu looked like someone who had been constipated for days. His expression was extremely gloomy and upset.

“I’ll redeem myself by investigating the Hu merchants.”

Xiaowu was truly unyielding. Even after being punished by Chu Yunshen like this, he was still able to be so proactive in investigating the case.

Just as Cheng Xiaoxiao was about to secretly give Xiaowu a thumbs up, Mu Bai replied to Xiaowu’s remarks, “Of course, you’re going. Do you expect me, a doctor who only knows how to save lives and heal injuries, to do such a dangerous thing? Am I right, Master?”

Mu Bai seemed to be mocking Xiaowu, but in fact, he was speaking up for Xiaowu. Chu Yunshen did not say anything. He simply nodded slightly at Xiaowu and Mu Bai. Then, he carried the cat and prepared to leave Mu Bai’s courtyard.

When Chu Yunshen passed by Xiaowu and walked to the outside of the pavilion, he slightly looked at Xiaowu and faintly ordered, “Receive your punishment after the investigation is over.”

“Yes, Master!”

After Xiaowu bowed respectfully, he was so excited that he kept watching Chu Yunshen as the latter left.

His unconcealable joy spread from his eyes to his entire face. His simple and honest smile was so contagious, even Mu Bai, who stood beside him, and the cat, who was in Chu Yunshen’s embrace, smiled too.

Chu Yunshen only stopped his gaze for a short while. He quickly turned around and took the cat away. Only Xiaowu remained in the pavilion with a wide smile on his face. Mu Bai, who was not far away from Xiaowu, ignored him and went to tinker with the pile of his treasures.

When Cheng Xiaoxiao and Chu Yunshen returned to the room, the fish soup on the desk was already cold.

Chu Yunshen ordered the kitchen to make another bowl. After making sure that Cheng Xiaoxiao finished her food, Chu Yunshen simply ate a few mouthfuls of the porridge and side dishes.

When he was eating, Cheng Xiaoxiao was quietly nestled in his arms. She did not feel bored. Just by looking at Chu Yunshen like this, she could sense a sweet feeling in her heart.

His involuntary flirtation was the most seductive.

It was as if Cheng Xiaoxiao was poisoned, and she was trapped in Chu Yunshen’s beautiful face, unable to extricate herself.

When Chu Yunshen was eating, he was very gentle. It was completely different from the way Cheng Xiaoxiao devoured her food every time. His every movement was indescribably elegant. The nobility that he inadvertently revealed clearly showed that he was different from others.

“Have you seen enough?”

Chu Yunshen gently placed the bowl and chopsticks in his hand on the table. Then, he slowly took out a plain handkerchief from his sleeve and patiently wiped his thin lips.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was still immersed in Chu Yunshen’s behavior while she was clamoring in her mind to take down this handsome man right there and then. Chu Yunshen’s cold voice suddenly resonated in the large and quiet room. Cheng Xiaoxiao was so shocked that she forgot to look away.

Chu Yunshen had already lowered his head and calmly looked at the cat. His thick black eyebrows were like two sharp swords on his handsome and aloof face, slanting to the sides of his hair.

His eyes were like two black jades that seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, making his eyes look hazy and mysterious.

The bridge of his nose was high and straight, and his lips were thin, making him look very sexy.

And now, his profound eyes were seriously looking into the cat’s brown eyes. His slightly raised lips indicated that he was in a good mood.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was instantly attracted by Chu Yunshen’s magnetic glance.

The cat and Chu Yunshen, who were looking at each other, once again fell into a subtle and indescribable atmosphere. It made people panic and embarrassed to the point that they wanted to immediately look away.

But both Chu Yunshen and the cat were reluctant to look away.

This atmosphere persisted even after Chu Yunshen finished bathing the cat and cleaned up his things. In fact, the feelings in the air became stronger.

The servants and maids who came to Chu Yunshen’s room came in expressionlessly and left in disbelief.

After all, no one had seen Chu Yunshen talk to them with a smile on his face. It was as if he was in love. After that, a rumor spread in the residence, saying that His Highness was about to get married, so his attitude changed.

It was night.

The cat was so sleepy that she yawned for the hundredth time in Chu Yunshen’s embrace. Chu Yunshen carried her to the newly made silk bed. Just as he was about to put the cat on the bed, there was a soft and firm knock on the door outside.

It was so late. Who else would come to his door at this hour?

Cheng Xiaoxiao kept yawning, and her big watery eyes became even mistier because of the frequent yawns.

After being taken aback for a short while as if he was thinking about something, Chu Yunshen carried the cat to the bed, tucked her in, and walked to the outer room to open the door. Before he left, he patted the cat’s body through the quilt.

“Don’t worry! I will sleep well!”

The cat gave Chu Yunshen a reassuring look, but when Chu Yunshen walked to the outer room, she quickly jumped off the bed.

Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to see which little slut it was that was still awake and knocked on Chu Yunshen’s door at such a late hour.

“Come in.”

Chu Yunshen’s deep voice surrounded the outer room. Cheng Xiaoxiao once again hid at the door of the inner room, quietly sticking out her head and staring at the door.

The door was quickly opened from the outside, and the person who came in from outside was none other than Xiaowu, who was wrapped in a cold wind.

Xiaowu had been constantly appearing in front of her lately!

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Xiaowu’s frozen lips and shivering body, thought for a moment, and swallowed her curses.

“Master, I’ve already investigated the matter clearly. Those Hu merchants have rented a courtyard in the capital, but there are many people around the courtyard, and the Hu merchants all know martial arts. I did not dare to approach them casually.” After Xiaowu came in, he went straight to the desk where Chu Yunshen was and reported his findings.

Looking from behind the door of the inner room, Cheng Xiaoxiao could not see Chu Yunshen’s reaction from her position as there happened to be a pillar blocking her line of sight, nor could she see the expression of Xiaowu, who had his back to her.

Fortunately, Cheng Xiaoxiao could tell the importance of the matter from Xiaowu’s tone, yet it was difficult to distinguish Chu Yunshen’s reaction since he had always been indifferent and speaking in a monotonous tone.

Sure enough, after Xiaowu finished speaking, an awkward silence ensued for a moment before Chu Yunshen spoke with his leisurely voice, “Check if there are any residence near the Hu merchants that is available for rent.”

“Master, do you want to move nearer to the Hu merchants to wait for an opportunity? I’ll go and make the arrangements right away.”

Xiaowu was about to rush out when Chu Yunshen called after him.

“Look for a larger courtyard, and prepare my disguise.”

As Chu Yunshen was speaking, Cheng Xiaoxiao was no longer content with hiding behind the door and eavesdropping anymore. Instead, she tiptoed to hide behind the pillar that was blocking her line of sight.

This was just right. This pillar didn’t look so unsightly anymore!

The cat sat on the ground behind the pillar in satisfaction. The pillar also perfectly blocked her figure.

However, just as the cat leaped past the door, Chu Yunshen glanced at the snow-white figure in the air without a trace.

“Master, are you planning to personally make a move? But the environment there is chaotic. Most of them are street hooligans.”

Xiaowu raised his head and found that Chu Yunshen was looking behind him. He also turned back to look at the empty hall behind him. He withdrew his gaze, turned his head again, and looked at Chu Yunshen strangely.

“It’s okay. Just arrange as I say.” Chu Yunshen retracted his ambiguous gaze and looked at Xiaowu in front of him again. “Get Mu Bai to prepare the medicine. Bring him with you when you set off.”

“Okay. I’ll arrange it now.”

Xiaowu nodded in understanding. He bowed to Chu Yunshen and was about to leave when Chu Yunshen stopped him again.

“There’s no need to rush. You can go tomorrow.”

Xiaowu suddenly turned around in surprise and looked at Chu Yunshen in disbelief. His current expression was different from the nervousness he had just had.

Cheng Xiaoxiao got closer and saw Xiaowu’s eyes clearly. She sincerely sighed that Xiaowu was really easy to be satisfied. A simple gesture from Chu Yunshen was enough to cheer him up.

Xiaowu had already retreated to the door, and he even closed the door in consideration when he exited the room.

The cold air on his body had not yet been expelled, but he continued to rush about in a diligent manner. However, his heart was warm as he kept recalling what Chu Yunshen had just said to him.

In the room, Cheng Xiaoxiao was still hiding behind the pillar, analyzing the conversation between Chu Yunshen and Xiaowu.

Listening to Chu Yunshen’s confident tone, she deduced that he already had a countermeasure, and he seemed to be prepared in advance when he suggested renting a courtyard to fight a protracted war with the Hu merchants.

However, neither Cheng Xiaoxiao nor Xiaowu expected that Chu Yunshen actually planned to investigate this matter on his own, instead of letting Xiaowu follow through this matter.

It seemed that Chu Yunshen really made up his mind this time to personally solve the Datura case.

She didn’t know if Chu Yunshen would take her this time. After all, Cheng Xiaoxiao was also putting in a lot of effort to help him.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was completely absorbed in her own world, unaware that Chu Yunshen had already approached her step by step, and was almost at her side.

Chu Yunshen originally wanted to reach out to hug the cat, but he found that the cat’s gaze was dull and dazed.

“Ahem.” Chu Yunshen deliberately cleared his throat, trying to break the cat’s thoughts and pull the cat’s attention back.

When Cheng Xiaoxiao heard the sound, she quickly came back to her senses, but when she saw Chu Yunshen standing next to her, she was shocked and retreated a few steps.

If Chu Yunshen had not bent down to block her retreat with his arm, the cat would probably have fallen to the ground again.

“Hehehe, thank you.”
