Chapter 177 - What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You

The surroundings of the Marquis's mansion were very familiar to He Yunxiao. Since he wanted to have a conversation in a secluded place, it was natural for He Yunxiao to take the initiative to find one. "Chuchu, over here..." Why did Chuchu's expression seem off? What is she looking at? Oh, she's looking at my hand... Isn't she just...? ?! Damn! There was a suppressed anger in Chuchu's tone. "He Yunxiao, are you also going to exchange skills with your sister?" "It's not..." He Yunxiao had imagined a thousand ways in which the female lead could trigger a battlefield, but he had never thought it would be like this... Originally, the meeting between Nan Zhu and Chuchu was going quite well... even Nan Zhu's excessively intimate behavior had been skated over... but unexpectedly... accustomed to defeat... At this moment, He Yunxiao pondered a lot. Regardless, as long as he arrived on the street with Nan Zhu, he had to hold her hand. The only solution in the current situation was to leave Nan Zhu upstairs and talk to Chuchu alone, then disperse her. He must disperse Chuchu before Nan Zhu went out, otherwise, it would be useless to say anything once they held hands on the street. It was because he couldn't bear to leave Nan Zhu alone that both Nan Zhu and Chuchu appeared on the street at the same time, triggering the battlefield. Alternatively, from the beginning, don't let Chuchu and Nan Zhu meet. Even so, to walk between Chuchu and Nan Zhu, he would have to let Nan Zhu wait alone for a long time. He Yunxiao questioned himself, could he truly bear to leave Nan Zhu alone in an unfamiliar place for a long time? She would be frightened, and he couldn't bear it. Steadying his state of mind, for now, he couldn't consider the past too much; he could only focus on how to pacify Chuchu. Chuchu didn't like keeping too close to other girls, and now, he and Nan Zhu were holding hands, rubbing Chuchu the wrong way. What to do? Standing not far in front of He Yunxiao, Chuchu said indifferently, "You are no longer trying to argue." He Yunxiao was well-known in the city, and their location was right across the street from the Wuqing Marquis Mansion. He Yunxiao, holding a veiled girl's hand, confronting another girl, naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd. In the blink of an eye, a circle of onlookers had gathered. He Yunxiao said, "Chuchu, come with me. Let's find a quieter place to talk." Chuchu coldly snorted, "I'm not moving." Then she turned to the onlookers around and said, "If you want to watch, keep watching. Those who want to die can continue enjoying the spectacle." The onlookers were displeased hearing this. "Why is this little girl so fierce?" "Just watching the show, what's it to you?" "With those skinny arms and legs, I could take on ten of her." "Girl, watch your mouth!" Chuchu had a temperament that couldn't tolerate such things. She immediately retorted, "Want to die? I'll grant your wish." With a lift of her delicate hand, she began to gather internal energy in preparation to strike. He Yunxiao had a bad feeling about this. The onlookers really weren't afraid of death! Did they not know Chuchu's level of skill? He must not let Chuchu lay a hand on anyone. Not to mention what would happen to the onlookers if she did, if Chuchu really killed innocents, He Yunxiao didn't know how he would face her in the future. Releasing his wife Nan Zhu's hand, he held her waist and used light footwork to rush to Chuchu's side, grabbing her hand directly. "Chuchu, calm down and don't take action." Chuchu looked up at He Yunxiao. "I know what I'm doing." "Regardless, don't harm innocent people," He Yunxiao said urgently. "I don't need you to teach me." Seeing that Chuchu wouldn't listen and was about to act, He Yunxiao had to resort to a desperate move. "Chuchu, I'm holding your hand to exchange skills." "I refuse." "Chuchu, you can't back out." "If you don't ask me, I..." He Yunxiao tensed his whole body, held his wife Nan Zhu's left hand a little, letting her lean into his arms, and then took a deep breath. “Fine, I beg you, exchange skills with me. Now." Chuchu stared at He Yunxiao, knowing that he was genuinely angry. Because this was the first time Chuchu had heard He Yunxiao speak with such an unquestionable tone, even when "begging." Even then, he didn't appear to be "begging" at all. Originally, Chuchu had intended to indulge He Yunxiao one more time, considering that she had promised only to be asked by him. However, upon seeing Meng Qingrou close to He Yunxiao, she felt an inexplicable rage, similar to the one she had felt toward Fan Ziruo before. Chuchu said coldly, "Let her go." Meng Qingrou's face was covered by a veil, with only a pair of large eyes visible. Upon hearing Chuchu's words, Meng Qingrou instinctively grabbed the clothes on He Yunxiao's chest. Seeing how Meng Qingrou was, He Yunxiao understood that Nan Zhu was still not accustomed to the outside world of the palace. He explained to Chuchu, "Chuchu, my sister is afraid in crowded places. I can only hold hands with her." Chuchu stared at He Yunxiao. "Do you take me for a fool?" Meng Qingrou then somewhat understood the situation, and she let go of her grip on He Yunxiao's clothes, looking at Chuchu. "Did Chuchu quarrel with her brother because of me?" Chuchu ruthlessly said, "Do you like He Yunxiao?" Meng Qingrou wouldn't have easily admitted it, but facing unprecedented pressure from Chuchu, she surprisingly calmly nodded and said, "Yes." Meng Qingrou then asked, "Does Chuchu also like my brother?" Chuchu immediately denied, "He is not worthy of Chuchu's affection. He is Chuchu's person, and if Chuchu tells him to do something, he must do it. If Chuchu forbids him from being near bad women, he cannot be near them." He Yunxiao, who had initially wanted to use his sister's identity to get through this, felt that he was doomed. Both sides had revealed their cards. It was already a decisive battle. Seeing that Meng Qingrou didn't show any weakness, Chuchu sneered. "He Yunxiao, is this what you call ‘afraid'? He Yunxiao didn't know how to explain. Coincidentally, at this moment, the onlookers began to clamor again. People even began to speculate on the identities of Chuchu and Nan Zhu, guessing who the two of them were, which family's girls they belonged to. Some were saying unpleasant things, speculating on what trouble He Yunxiao, the young lord, had caused. The crowd's chatter and clamor troubled He Yunxiao. Seeing this, Chuchu coldly smiled. "He Yunxiao, take a good look. The person you want me to refrain from harming is treating you like this." Gritting his teeth, He Yunxiao said, "Alright Chuchu, I changed my mind. I'll vent for you. Ma Dekuai!" Ma Dekuai, who had come back after lunch, waiting for He Yunxiao, immediately replied, "Young master! I'm here!" He Yunxiao roared, "You've wanted to show off your driving skills, right? Good, drive along this street! I'll have you floor it! Run as fast as you can! If you can't go fast, I'll have you kicked out of the Marquis's mansion tomorrow!" Ma Dekuai, upon hearing that he'd be driving, was suddenly energized. He immediately drove the carriage and careened along the main street, showcasing his driving skills to the fullest, maintaining the ultimate level of narrowly avoiding but not hitting anything. The onlookers who had been mocking He Yunxiao and Chuchu just a moment before fled in panic, in order to escape Ma Dekuai's carriage, each looking disheveled. They had no more interest in meddling in others' business. When the main street was quiet again, He Yunxiao was finally in the mood to talk to Chuchu. Now that Nan Zhu's wife had admitted her feelings, he directly pushed the situation to the most tense aspect. In any case, the identity of "cousin" could not be lost. He Yunxiao simply said, "Chuchu, I'll lay all my cards on the table. I have found a way to solve the problem with the Soul-biting Pill. Ling Rou is not only my cousin but also a doctor, and she's the one who can solve the Soul-biting Pill for me." Tl. Soothsayer.io
