Chapitre 53

Pang Wan dared not reply, but just pursed her lips and gazed at him tenderly, her cheeks flushed and her eyes sparkling, occasionally chuckling.

After Gu Xiju wiped her face and hands clean, he repeatedly told her not to get out of bed before getting up to leave.

No sooner had he turned his head than a "smack" landed on his buttocks.

"Wanwan!" He turned around angrily, only to see the person on the bed with their eyes closed and limbs stretched out, seemingly fast asleep and oblivious to the world.

Unfortunately, her slightly trembling eyelashes, like butterfly wings, betrayed her.

"I told you not to disobey!" Gu Xiju suppressed a laugh and pretended to slap her.

Just as the large hand was about to land on his pink cheek, the person on the bed suddenly leaped up, grabbed his shoulder, and shouted in his ear, "Horse! Giddy up!"

Before Gu Xiju could react, Pang Wan had already fallen back onto the bed, covered her head with the blanket and started giggling. The blanket trembled like a silkworm cocoon, and without even lifting it, one could tell that the little rascal inside was laughing so hard she was doubled over.

Neither anger nor scolding was an option, so Gu Xiju looked at her helplessly and pursed his lips.

Pang Wan laughed for a while without any movement, so she couldn't help but pull down the blanket and cautiously peek outside.

That glance was all it took; he met a pair of dark, enigmatic eyes that seemed to be both smiling and not smiling.

"You finally decided to come out? I wasn't holding back, were I?" Gu Xiju deliberately scolded her with a stern face.

Pang Wan then felt the air was much better and quickly puffed out her chest to take two deep breaths: "I was so suffocated!"

"It's already midnight and you're still making a fuss?" Gu Xiju almost burst out laughing, but he had to forcefully keep his face straight. "Go to sleep right now!" he scolded her seriously.

Pang Wan twisted and turned and lingered for a while but still couldn't get what he wanted, so he had no choice but to close his eyes in frustration.

Gu Xiju sat by the bed watching her, tucking her in from time to time.

The person on the bed gradually calmed down, as if they had truly fallen asleep.

He waited a while longer, leaned down and stole a kiss on her face, then left.

The moonlight was like water, and two small dimples quietly appeared on the girl's fair cheeks.

No one knows whether she had a good dream or if she hadn't slept at all.

Author's Note: The theme song for Pang Wan's little friend: Are you my happiness?

Shameless!

Pang's bent foot was almost fully recovered after only two days of rest.

Aunt Rong once said that the Holy Maiden was born with extraordinary bone structure and was a tough and resilient material.

However, she still claimed to the outside world that she was unable to move around easily. On the one hand, she hoped that Gu Xiju could come to see her. On the other hand, she did not want to face the Southern Barbarians for the time being, because the existence of the Southern Barbarians would constantly remind her that there was a huge gap between her and Gu Xiju, and it would be difficult for them to have a good ending.

One is the leader of the martial arts alliance, and the other is the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect. No matter the background, these two identities would make for a shocking and tragic love story. Whenever Pang Wan thought of Nan Yi's knife-like eyes, she couldn't help but feel scared.

If the Southern Barbarians knew that Pang Wan and Gu Xiju were in love, they would definitely use a knife to peel off her skin first, and then bury the poison into her internal organs. Because for the Moon Worship Cult, Pang Wan's behavior is called betrayal, and he would be sent to hell to be fried in oil.

—In any case, the road ahead is long!

But no matter how painful the love was, Pang Wan was determined to persevere.

Just kidding! Do you really want to continue living that miserable life where the male lead doesn't care for you and the second male lead doesn't love you? People in the Mary Sue world live for love and passion. They can live without the mundane necessities of life, but they absolutely cannot live without romance!

With her Mary Sue spirit burning brightly, Pang Wan is now in full battle mode, determined to pave the way for her and Gu Xiju's future at all costs—faking death, amnesia, changing identities—these tropes are child's play for any seasoned noblewoman! Gu Lang, rest assured! Your wife will never hold you back! Let's create a glorious future together!!

When she felt like having fun, she would pull up a small stool and sit by the door to bask in the sun. As a Mary Sue character with no ambition but only the desire to date handsome men, she felt that her previous life had been far too miserable. She was constantly disliked and rejected by this person or that person, and her life had become nothing but bitter remnants. But now, things were different. The highest leader of the continent—the leader of the martial arts alliance—had fallen for her, and she could almost foresee a glorious future where she would be showered with love and affection.

To hell with Sang Chan and Mei Wu! Gu Lang is mine now, he will be mine in the future, and he will always be mine! Hahaha!

Just as they were feeling blissfully ecstatic, a maidservant came to announce that a guest had arrived.

She lay lazily on the bamboo chair and responded, not quite understanding why anyone would come looking for her. She didn't seem to have made any friends in the capital.

"That explains why you didn't come to our place to learn. Were you hurt?"

A voice as melodious as a nightingale's song rang out, and a beautiful woman with a graceful figure swayed toward her, glancing at her fake bandaged ankle as she walked.

Pang Wan finally realized—the newcomer was Jin Buyao.

What brings you here?

She quickly sat up to serve tea to this stunningly beautiful woman and instructed her maid to prepare fruits and pastries.

"You seem to be doing quite well here," Jin Buyao said with a slight smile, watching her gesturing as if she were surveying the world.

Pang Wan's little scheme of pretending to be the head of the household was completely extinguished by Jin Buyao's charming and bright smile.

"Are you teasing me, Granny?" She pursed her lips shyly and asked, "Why did you decide to come see me, Granny?"

What she really wanted to ask was, "How did you know I live here, Granny?" But she felt that this question was not very meaningful, because He Qinglu was obviously a powerful and influential person with a strong background, so finding out her address should be a piece of cake.

Jin Buyao smiled enigmatically and glanced towards the door.

Pang Wan followed her gaze and glanced outside. She saw a guard that Jin Buyao had brought over. He was tall and had an ordinary face. He was holding a large sword at his waist, his back straight, and he was looking around the courtyard with a look of fearlessness.

Could something be about to happen? Pang Wan was completely confused, so she leaned closer mysteriously and asked, "Does Granny have any secret to tell me?"

Jin Buyao smiled, picked up the cup, and took a sip of tea.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just saw you leaving the manor in a hurry a few days ago, so I followed you and found that the young master had accidentally knocked over his tools." She paused here, "Did something happen between you two?"

Pang Wan thought to herself that they were there to mediate a civil dispute, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head: "It's nothing."
