I am born a beauty, and I am supreme

Chapter 116

Chu Gexing seemed oblivious and continued walking forward.

As they were walking, they heard someone behind them laughing loudly: "Ah, isn't this Lord Chu? What a coincidence! I never expected to meet you here."

Chu Gexing turned his head back.

A figure flashed before his eyes, and the person who said, "I really didn't expect to meet you here," had already nimbly appeared beside him. Her speed was astonishing. And then everything went black. Just as the raindrops were about to wet his shoulders, she opened her umbrella and quickly shielded his head from the rain.

This kind of behavior, so diligent and responsible, is comparable to that of a professional servant.

Chu Gexing watched Tang Leyan without changing his expression, a hint of ferocity gradually appearing in his eyes.

“Hey, don’t look at me so gratefully.” She glanced at him. “Speaking of which, why do I always hold an umbrella for you?”

Chu Gexing was taken aback, then remembered that she had done the same thing at Chu Zhen's residence, giving him an umbrella without saying a word.

Tang Leyan sighed and said to herself, "I just did something very important for our master, and I'm rushing back before dark. I thought I wouldn't run into anyone. You know, we really are destined to meet." As she spoke, she looked at Chu Gexing and smiled.

Chu Gexing was taken aback, thinking that she must have used the Pure Glazed World Fireworks. So it was to do something for Chu Zhen. No wonder she had such a big influence. Humph.

After looking at her for a while and not being able to discern anything, he snorted and said, "You don't need to explain to me."

“Of course not.” She scratched her head and said, “But it’s dark and raining, and the road is long. If we don’t talk about something interesting, we’ll probably get bored to death.”

"You can go back by yourself first," he said calmly.

"Oh dear, you're making me sound like I'm heartless... uh, I mean, cold-blooded. Besides, you're a relative of the Military Commissioner. Now that I've seen you, of course I should take care of you in the Commissioner's place. If you catch a cold, the Commissioner will be worried," Tang Leyan said smugly.

Chu Gexing felt inexplicably annoyed: "Go away, I don't want to hear you talk." He reached out and pushed her wrist away, then stepped forward into the rain.

"What an awkward person." She sighed helplessly, touching her forehead, but followed closely behind.

"Get out of my way!" he hissed, stopping in his tracks.

She laughed and said, "You've known me for a long time. I'll do the things you tell me not to do. What can you do if I refuse to leave?"

Looking at this shameless face, Chu Gexing's annoyance gradually faded, replaced by a feeling of wanting to beat her up. So she couldn't help but sneer and say, "Don't say I didn't warn you, if you keep bothering me, you'll be asking for trouble." Her fists were already clenched, ready to pounce.

"Hey, hey, even though I'm a kind-hearted person, it doesn't mean I'll just accept someone repaying kindness with ingratitude." A panicked expression appeared on her face, as if she was genuinely afraid of him. She still held the umbrella firmly in her hand, shielding herself from the large raindrops, and then gently patted his shoulder twice with her left hand, blinking as she said, "I say, Lord Chu, you're not that kind of person, are you?"

Chu Gexing found it somewhat amusing and watched her silently for a while, but then he loosened his fist and turned to walk forward.

She stayed close by, muttering, "Even though I'm so kind and understanding, you should at least show some gentlemanly manners and hold the umbrella for me once."

Raindrops pattered on the umbrella; outside was a vast, noisy world, inside was a small, bustling one.

Chu Gexing felt his heart slowly calming down. Although the person next to him was talkative, annoying, and noisy, making him feel irritable, this feeling was not the helpless and desperate pain he had felt before. It was a strange change.

"If you're not satisfied, then leave," he said coldly.

"Sigh," she sighed in my ear, "Why am I always helpless when I'm with you?"

Chu Gexing's heart stirred. He suddenly felt that these words... were exactly what he wanted to say in his heart, but had not said aloud.

Dragon and Tiger Fight in the Capital, Chapter 140: So Frivolous

Along the way, Tang Leyan's arm ached from holding the umbrella, and her mouth ached from talking so much, but the other person remained an iceberg, never giving her a glimmer of sunshine.

Although she kept complaining that he was too rude or something, her eyes kept glancing at the expressions of the people around her. She wasn't bothering him for no reason or deliberately picking a fight with him; she just thought that at this special moment, she couldn't leave him alone.

Before it rained, she kept thinking about whether to keep following him or just find some excuse to get close to him.

However, given Chu Gexing's proud and arrogant personality, if he were to discover that I was deliberately following him and had seen through his weakness, he would probably be furious.

Fortunately, he didn't notice.

Tang Leyan thought that as long as she accompanied him through this journey and escorted him into the city, Chu Gexun would naturally take over.

Then her responsibility can be considered to have come to an end.

Therefore, she kept trying to distract him by talking about this and that along the way. To her great relief, her efforts seemed to have some effect. The man, who was originally surrounded by an aura of "don't come near me," had completely transformed back into the former Nine Gates Admiral Chu Gexing by the time they reached the city gate. Although he was still mysterious and gloomy, his aura was no longer so "keep away".

Upon seeing this, the guards hurriedly opened the city gate.

Tang Leyan walked in side by side with Chu Gexing. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing a soldier rush away, she knew that he must have gone to inform Chu Gexun to come and pick up the person.

Feeling relieved, I couldn't help but say, "Without realizing it, I've already walked this far."

Chu Gexing raised his eyes, turned his head and stared at her intently.

Tang Leyan felt uneasy under his gaze. The lanterns carried by the soldiers beside her cast a dim light, but his eyes shone brightly right in front of her. He stared intently at her, as if trying to see something out of her face.

Holding an umbrella in one hand, she pulled out a fan with the other, snapped it open to cover her face, and said with an air of elegance, "What, have you finally fallen in love with me?"

She raised an eyebrow and gave him a flirtatious wink.

Chu Gexing frowned upon hearing this. Then his expression softened, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips: "So what if I said yes?"

Tang Leyan froze.

I'm thinking, this time the answer is a little different, hmm, how should I respond?

But before she could make up her mind, things had already started to move.

Chu Gexing had already reached out and touched her waist.

Tang Leyan held a fan in one hand and an umbrella in the other, deep in thought, making her unprepared for the moment.

Chu Gexing pulled her along and slipped towards the edge of the city gate tower.

Tang Leyan realized what was happening. She cried out, "Chu Gexing, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, she felt Chu Gexing pull her waist forcefully towards him.

Tang Leyan was startled. She closed her fan and pointed it at his chest, intending to push him away. But he clearly took advantage of her needing to hold the umbrella for him, keeping one arm around her waist and the other holding her hand holding the fan. He pulled her to the edge of the city wall.

Tang Leyan was shocked. She looked around and saw soldiers patrolling the nine gates of the city. They were right next to her, and she could hear their voices. What was this person trying to do? Was he crazy?

I looked up and met his eyes.

Chu Gexing's lips curled into a slightly wicked smile, and he pressed her hand against the city wall. The cold rain slid down the wall, instantly soaking her hand and sleeves.

"He really has gone mad." Tang Leyan was startled and no longer cared about holding the umbrella. She let go of the umbrella and was about to resist.

Just as the umbrella was about to leave her hand, Chu Gexing released his grip on her waist. He stretched his arm upward and firmly grasped her hand.

Tang Leyan's hand had just left the umbrella handle when he grabbed it again, and without a word, she took the umbrella back in her hand.

The umbrella covered the two of them again.

In an instant, Chu Gexing gently twisted his hand, and Tang Leyan involuntarily tilted her arm, causing the umbrella to droop lower towards the two of them.

The situation changed in the blink of an eye.

The umbrella moved away from their heads, instead covering their upper bodies.

Under the umbrella seemed to be a new world. Although there were soldiers from the Nine Gates around, they could no longer see what was happening under the umbrella.

In that instant, Chu Ge walked forward and gently pressed his lips down. Tang Leyan was drenched by the rain, and he pushed her body against the city wall. Her hands were completely held by him, and she was about to become a fresh drowned rat. She looked up, wanting to angrily curse him for "repaying kindness with enmity," but she only felt something soft and gentle on her lips as something pressed down on her.

She instinctively closed her eyes, then realized what was happening.

Chu Gexing's lips brushed lightly against hers, and before she could utter a sound of protest, he smiled again and kissed her once more, his tongue flicking out a raindrop that had fallen onto her face.

Tang Leyan froze, never expecting Chu Gexing to be so audacious. People were coming and going around them, and the soldiers of the Nine Gates were extremely affectionate when they saw their former master, holding lanterns and standing by without backing down. But this man used an umbrella to cover himself and did such a lewd thing under the umbrella.

Normally, she would have thrown a punch long ago, but now, with others around and some reservations in her heart, she dared not act rashly for the time being.

Chu Gexing seemed to sense her inner worry, and after a light flick of his tongue, he kissed her again.

Tang Leyan could no longer bear it. She swung her arm, but he pressed it down hard. Her hand and the back of her hand were already wet from the rain. She was probably going to catch a cold. This madman!

Tang Leyan was filled with resentment and vowed never to provoke or get close to him again.

Chu Gexing kissed her lips, deliberately lightly, as if to see how long she could endure.

Tang Leyan was helpless. She could only feel his tongue gently brushing against her lips and probing inwards, so she couldn't help but clench her teeth.

Just when all their cries for help were in vain, they heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping towards them, and someone shouted, "General Tiger Might has arrived!"

Then a young voice called out, "Where is my brother?"

It was Chu Ge who came looking for them.

Surely this madman would show some restraint when facing his own younger brother?

Tang Leyan breathed a slight sigh of relief, her whole body becoming a little relaxed.

But then Chu Gexing laughed, and taking advantage of her moment of relaxation, he released one hand and grabbed her chin.

Tang Leyan cried out in pain and opened her mouth.

But she felt something slippery sneak into her mouth, as if trying to suck her soul out of her body, or as if it were a final burst of energy before death, so forceful and emotional.

A sudden boom went through her mind, and all the Nine Gates soldiers, Tiger General, and even the raindrops vanished without a trace. Tang Leyan felt dizzy and thought tremblingly: Damn it, damn it, could this monster have cast some kind of spell on me?

Chu Gexing seemed to have forgotten the world around him, leaning against her as if he wanted to stick to her and never leave.

Just as I was engrossed in my own world, I heard General Huwei exclaim in surprise, "Brother!"

Tang Leyan was the first to regain her senses. Realizing that the hand holding the fan was now free, she desperately swung her hand and punched Chu Gexing in the face.

Chu Gexing seemed not to have expected her to make a move at this moment. Unable to dodge in time, and with the punch coming at close range, he was immediately hit in the cheek. His delicate face was twisted, and a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Chu Gexing staggered backward, and when he looked up again, a bloodstain appeared, which was then washed away by the rain.

Meanwhile, Tang Leyan, though freed, still felt weak all over. It seemed that her punch had used up all her strength. After knocking him away, the umbrella in her right hand fluttered to the ground and rolled away in the wind. She stood on the city wall in the rain, as if stunned.

Amidst cries of alarm, General Chu Gexun rushed forward and helped Chu Gexing to his feet, anxiously asking, "Brother, brother, how are you?"

He glanced at Chu Gexing twice, then looked up at Tang Leyan and roared, "Why did you hit my brother? Guards, seize him!"

Dragon and Tiger Fight in the Capital Chapter 141 First Plan

Chu Gexun rushed over and, with the soldiers' directions, vaguely saw that his brother Chu Gexing seemed to be standing by the city wall with another person. The umbrella obscured their view, but the two appeared to be talking.

Suddenly, an unexpected change occurred. The man made a sudden move, knocking Chu Gexing off his feet and causing him to fall backward.

Chu Ge Xun felt this was clearly a classic case of a fight breaking out over a mere disagreement, and the one who started it was truly hateful. But he never expected that the two were not at all like he imagined; the one who suffered was actually the one who started the fight, while the one who attacked was actually the one who was taken advantage of.

His parents died early, and Chu Gexing was his only blood relative. He had always respected and loved Chu Gexing. Although he didn't say it on the surface, he regarded Chu Gexing as an inviolable god in his heart. Now that Chu Gexing had been beaten in front of him, Chu Gexing was so angry that he wanted to kill him.

When he looked up and saw that it was Tang Leyan, he was stunned and then gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.

He thought angrily: No matter who you are, you dare to hurt my brother, I'll make you pay!

He was so concerned for his brother that he didn't ask about the truth. Upon hearing the order, the soldiers rushed forward and surrounded Tang Leyan.

Tang Leyan stood motionless in the rain, her red dress completely soaked. When she raised her eyes, the rain-soaked eyes shone brightly in the lamplight.
