Maid's Diary: Devil Master, Please Behave - Chapter 185
Chapter 185 Fortune-telling
“President Gu, the planning of the sub-group has been completed. When will you come to the company to inspect it?”
This was probably the most irresponsible time for Gu Yu Ze. He was clearly the mastermind behind the establishment of the China Branch Group, but from beginning to end, he hadn’t even seen a single person. Poor Wang Jing had been busy all day.
On the other end of the phone, Gu Yuze raised his eyes to look at the tightly shut bedroom and casually said, “You and Qing Yu can handle it. I’m very busy right now.”
Wang Jing choked. She had the urge to pull Gu Yu Ze out of the screen of her phone.
“President Gu, be a shopkeeper and pity us–”
“I’m giving you a chance,” Gu Yu Ze interrupted Wang Jing and smiled silently. “Qingyu has been away all year. This time, having him plan a branch with you gives you a chance to be alone.”
Wang Jing cleared her throat, and her pretty face flushed. She secretly glanced at the handsome man on the desk not far away. Wang Jing pretended to be serious and replied, “Yes, President Gu. Don’t worry, this branch construction plan will be perfect.”
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yu Ze got up and walked towards the bedroom.
He knocked on the door and asked loudly, “You haven’t packed yet? You’ve been in there for half an hour, or are you not going out today?”
Mu Nan’s clear voice came from the bedroom, “Wait a moment, it will be ready soon. Leave me a portion of the bread on the table. Don’t eat it all by yourself!”
It was rare for Gu Yu Ze to see Mu Nan being so bashful. He woke up early in the morning. He dawdled in the bathroom and didn’t know what he was doing. After he finished, he ran into the bedroom like lightning and bolted the door. He didn’t know what he was doing.
Gu Yu Ze patiently waited and took the computer to deal with some group affairs.
Wait, another half an hour.
The bedroom door didn’t move at all. If there wasn’t a sound inside, Gu Yu Ze would have almost kicked the door in to see what this little fox was up to.
As time passed, Gu Yu Ze finally couldn’t restrain his curiosity and twisted his ankle to kick the door.
As soon as he walked to the door, the bedroom door seemed to feel something as it slowly opened. A pretty “strange” girl appeared in front of Gu Yuze.
Gu Yu’s Ze’s heart suddenly pounded.
It was spring and April, and it was warm and cold.
She wore a white middle-sleeved short shirt with a shallow V-neck, revealing a clear and beautiful collarbone. A knee-length, light gray skirt with small pleats made her legs slender and tall. He wore a red rope on his wrist, and on it was a snow-white ornament that resembled a wolf fang. He had black leather boots on his feet and small slope heels.
Ear-length hair was reasonably trimmed, fine black hair landing on the forehead, delineating a beautiful arc. Her skin was fair and her cherry lips were extremely attractive.
It was about the first time he wore a woman’s dress, and in front of him was Gu Yu Ze. Mu Nan was a little uncomfortable. His hands were nowhere to be found, so he simply stuck them in his pockets. She raised her head and smiled at Gu Yu Ze, revealing her beautiful teeth. Her eyes curved as she looked at Gu Yu Ze with her spiritual energy eyes.
Mu Nan did not intend to be beautiful. He had a sense of beauty mixed with heroism and elegance. It was completely different from her usual indistinguishable attire. Her exquisite spring clothes combined with her undulating figure made it almost impossible for people to move their eyes away.
“Cough cough, let’s go.” Mu Nan uncomfortably cleared his throat. After putting Gu Yu Ze’s stunning expression into his pocket, he was slightly pleased with himself.
Then, he pretended that nothing had happened and strode towards Gu Yu’s Ze.
A man of honour gives his life for the one who appreciates him. And a woman adores herself for her lover.
Mu Nan thought, he couldn’t let Gu Yu Ze treat her like a man. Occasionally, he would restore his women’s clothes and wash his eyes.
In the end, before she could even take two steps, Xiao Po’s leather boots weren’t suitable for her footsteps. Mu Nan tilted his foot and almost fell to the ground.
Gu Yu Ze held her arm with a muffled smile, “Be careful. Wear these shoes and you will fall easily.”
Mu Nan raised his smooth chin and smiled, “I didn’t stumble over my beauty. Am I like a girl today?”
Gu Yu Ze tightened his grip on her palm. His phoenix eyes looked up and down for a few times and nodded, “It looks like, except for a few small flaws, everything else looks like a normal woman.”
Mu Nan grinned and followed Gu Yu Ze’s gaze to his heaving chest. His face immediately collapsed and he hatefully pinched Gu Yu Ze’s fingers and questioned, “Do you really like that kind of woman with big breasts?”
It had to be admitted that there were some conditions that Mu Nan would not be able to achieve perfection in a single morning. For example, this chest, she had been disguised as a man for so many years, and her small chest was especially slow to develop. Even if she stuffed cotton into it, it would be useless…
Gu Yu Ze shrugged his shoulders and revealed a regretful expression, “I can’t help it. I like whatever type of person you are.”
These words were well-behaved, with a little pampering and a little ambiguity. Mu Nan’s children’s shoes were filled with indignation as she stuffed bread into her mouth to feed her hunger.
The temple fair is on the southern outskirts of A City.
Rows of bright red lanterns lined up, and ancient and brilliant civilizations glowed with new vitality in this simple and ancient place.
The streets were filled with people, fashionable and beautiful young men and women, old vendors dressed in simple clothes, old and old traditional things, and shouts of all sizes.
Mu Nan was naturally fond of liveliness. A dazzling variety of new things entered his eyes. For a moment, he was extremely excited as he grabbed Gu Yu’s Ze hand and wandered around.
“This is called the Flowerface Mask. This is Cao Cao, this is Zhang Fei, and this is Guan Yu!”
Mu Nan put the flower mask on Gu Yu Ze’s handsome face. A living white-faced Cao Cao was truly in line with Gu Yu Ze’s treacherous and fierce nature.
“Wear this red one. It suits you very well.” Gu Yu Ze stretched out his hand and buckled the red-faced Duke Guan on her pretty face.
“Why the red one?” Mu Nan frowned and obediently allowed Gu Yu Ze’s fingertips to land on his face.
“I’m afraid that you’ll boast too much and blush.” Gu Yu Ze said this in return for Second Master Guan’s big eyes.
Actually, he didn’t want Mu Nan’s face to appear in front of everyone, so that those dirty gazes wouldn’t think of this beautiful fox.
The two of them wore masks and continued to stab into the crowd.
“Wow! That stuffed dog looks like the Caucasus! I want this!” Mu Nan pulled Gu Yu Ze to a shooting range.
Dozens of balloons were hung on the big wooden board, and the model guns were buttoned to the side. The middle-aged boss stroked his moustache and smiled at the two “masked” faces in front of him.
“Guys, 100 yuan for 10 rounds. You can choose a toy after breaking eight balloons. You can try one. Try the feel.” The boss squinted his sharp eyes and two more young men who had no money to spend came.
Mu Nan sized up the model gun with his fingers and keenly noticed the maliciously loose safety bolt.
She didn’t say anything. She glanced at the moustached little boss and poked Gu Yu Ze with her arm. “Help me bring that toy dog over. What is this?”
Gu Yu Ze was so shrewd that he reached out and dotingly rubbed Mu Nan’s short hair.
The boss was puzzled, “Ah? Young man, you haven’t broken it yet-”
Before he could finish speaking, a series of cracking sounds could be heard.
As soon as the boss turned around, the balloon exploded in a neat row…
The next test of shorthand required several complex graphs to be drawn within ten minutes.
Mu Nan looked at the white porcelain cup in the prize and patted Gu Yu Ze’s shoulder.
Very quickly, the white porcelain cup fell into Mu Nan’s hand. Mu Nan pointed at the abyssal pattern on the cup. A small black abyssal held a small fork and said with a smile,
“Look at this, it looks like you.”
Gu Yu Ze raised his eyebrows and didn’t agree, “Why do I feel like you’re more like this little nigger?”
“I don’t have it! I’m white! Gu Yu, Ze, tell me clearly, where am I black?”
“Uh–”
In the crowd, he lowered his head and kissed the corner of her disobedient lips.
The temple fair was noisy. The two of them clasped their fingers together and crossed the crowded streets. The sunlight was faint and the small city under the blue sky was peaceful and beautiful.
Mu Nan wore Duke Guan’s mask, and when he smiled, he could see her fair and tidy teeth through the cracks. The happiness that flowed out of his eyes silently warmed Gu Yu’s Ze’s heart.
He swam with her like all ordinary lovers, happy and part of millions.
In a daze, it seemed like a beautiful dream. However, the feeling in his palm finally calmed him down.
Yes, Mu Nan had really returned to his side.
He stopped and ate and drank all the way, but he didn’t enjoy himself till dusk.
Mu Nan and Gu Yu Ze arrived at a corner where the flow of people was slightly sparse. They looked around and finally looked at a fortune-telling stall on the street.
The big word “Li Banxian” floated on the tattered flag. On an old table, there were a few thick gossips. Beside them sat an old man with a white beard. He narrowed his eyes as if he was sleeping.
Mu Nan’s eyes lit up and he immediately pulled Gu Yu Ze to sit down there.
“Hey, old man, are you still alive?” Mu Nan knocked on the table.
This was the first time Gu Yu Ze had come into contact with the ancient Chinese fortune-telling culture. He was curious about this strange old man and asked Munan, “Look at him. He doesn’t look like an adept. Does he know how to use Tarot cards to fortune-telling?”
Munan smiled mysteriously. “This is a mysterious power from the East, different from the Tarot card from the West. Let’s count the marriages and see how we live in the future.”
Gu Yuze snorted coldly with disdain. His marriage to Mu Nan was counted as a martial artist in Jianghu? The future is naturally a happy marriage, children in groups, love each other until old age.
The white-bearded old man opened his eyes and looked mysteriously at the man and woman in front of him. He stroked his beard and looked like a fairy.
“The two bones are astonished. They don’t look like ordinary people. They must have great origins.”
Mu Nan blinked his eyes and curled his lips into a smile, “You do the math. How is my marriage with him?”
After saying that, he reported Gu Yuze and his birth date and added, “He is not Chinese. Why don’t you ask a god like Cupid from the West?”
Actually, Mu Nan didn’t believe this at all. He was purely curious about the origin of the fate between her and Gu Yu’s Ze.
The white-bearded old man shook his head mysteriously and looked back and forth at the two of them. His voice was hoarse like an ancient history book, “In fate, the male is Yang, the female is Yin. The male is Gengchen for Gold, the female is Gengchen for Wood, and the female is Ginkgo; the female is Gengchen for Yang, and the female is Gengchen for Yin.”
Mu Nan was confused when he heard this, and Gu Yuze beside him was even more puzzled.
“The two of you are born to be a couple. Your destiny is extraordinary.” The old man stroked his beard and said kindly, “Miss, you have a balanced yin and yang. You have an indistinguishable appearance. You are heroic and stubborn. You have a hard destiny, and you have great luck in peach blossoms.”
After listening for so long, Mu Nan finally understood that peach blossom luck was lush…
Gu Yu Ze glanced sideways at Mu Nan’s handsome face. Sure enough, he was uneasy.
“As for this gentleman, his facial features are distinct, and his eyebrows are sharp. He looks like a genius of the entire world, rare in a hundred years. Naturally, his peach blossom luck is also abundant.”
On the side, Mu Nan glanced at Gu Yuze’s outstanding demonic face. Indeed, he was uneasy.
The fortune-teller continued in an ancient voice, “The two of you will naturally have a happy marriage. After separation, you will meet again. After all the twists and turns, you will return together. You will cherish the person before you. In the future, the woman will encounter great twists and turns and experience life and death.”
Gu Yu Ze grabbed Mu Nan’s hand and said with a rare nervousness, “Life and death? Is she going to encounter a disaster in the future?”
Mu Nan blinked his eyes and comforted, “What are you worried about? These fortune tellers like to talk about unnecessary calamities to make money. Don’t take it to heart, even Chinese fortune tellers are very evil.”
The fortune teller looked at Munan with displeasure and stroked his beard. “Don’t take it lightly, young lady. You are in dangerous jobs, and you are in danger anytime and anywhere. A slight carelessness can also endanger your lover. If I’m not mistaken, your lover has almost been in danger recently because of you.”
Mu Nan suddenly remembered the bank robbery case. Gu Yu’s Ze almost…
If you don’t believe in materialism when it comes to fortune-telling, everything will be fine once you hit the soft spot in your heart.
Mu Nan shook slightly and asked tentatively, “Then what should I do to prevent anything from happening to him because of me?”
The fortune-teller pretended to pinch his fingers and then shook his head with narrowed eyes. After a long while, he replied,
‘”There is always someone who gives up in a marriage. Lady, you are uncertain about your decision. Let me advise you that you should marry this gentleman as soon as possible. Always be with him and have a precious son. Your profession is too bloody, filled with resentment, and unsuitable for marriage.”
To put it bluntly, it was to give up the profession of Special Forces, stay away from danger, and return to Sheng Hua with Gu Yu and Ze.
Mu Nan pursed his lips and didn’t say anything. Twilight light shone on the ground, dim and pale.
The days she spent with Gu Yu Ze were gradually shortening. Soon, they would part ways again. One would return to the army, the other to Sheng Hua. Even if they loved each other in their hearts, the future was far off.
Eight years ago, what separated him from her was his helpless life and death.
What separated him from her now was the reality they faced.
Mu Nan took out a hundred dollar bill from Gu Yu’s Ze pocket, patted it on the wooden table, and pulled Gu Yu’s Ze away.
The white-bearded fortune-teller smiled and put the hundred-dollar bill on the table into his pocket.
After a while, butler Qian, dressed in casual clothes, walked into the corner and patted the old man on the shoulder. “Well done, I’ve already put the money on your account. I’ll give you a share of the money when Young Master and Xiao Nan get married.”
The fortune-teller said, “Well said and done. The two of them are destined to be married by heaven. Don’t worry.”
