Pathological Trapping - Chap 80
”I did not mean that!”
”What is that?”
Mu Jian approached with a smile.
Her palm rested on his heart.
He smiled, “Why is your heart beating so fast? Even after all this, you still refuse to admit it. Do you have feelings for me?”
It’s the suspension bridge effect, bro!
Li Dezhuang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he pushed him away and straightened his clothes.
”Your sister likes you very much. Don’t let her, a child alone, see things she shouldn’t see. It will affect her growth.”
Mu Jian narrowed his eyes, “Guard Li is so concerned about others? I’m not very happy.”
Li Dezhuang rolled his eyes at him.
”She is your biological sister, who treats you well and sincerely. There are very few people like her in the palace, and Your Highness should cherish her.”
Mu Jian heard the hidden meaning in Li Dezhuang’s words.
Li Dezhuang asked him to show mercy to the child.
”Has Guard Li met her today?”
”Yeah, I’ve met him once.”
Mu Jian narrowed his eyes and became alert, “Are you in love with her at first sight?”
”She’s just a ten-year-old!”
Mu Jian breathed a sigh of relief, “I’m glad you know.”
”Uh…” Do you think everyone is like you, a psychopath?
Mu Jian hugged Li Dezhuang affectionately and said coquettishly, “You can only have me.”
Li Dezhuang ignored it.
Mu Jian refused to give in.
”Hurry up and tell me that you will only have me. Otherwise, I will drag you out, kiss you, and take off your clothes in front of my sister. Is that okay with you?”
Li Dezhuang was about to suffocate.
”How can you be an emperor like this? You are so licentious and immoral!”
Mu Jian laughed softly, took Li Dezhuang’s hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it gently.
”I’m afraid I’ll become a tyrant. But Guard Li is polite and knows his place, so stay with me and don’t let this dynasty fall in my hands.”
Li Dezhuang: Haha.
It’s none of my business.
My motherland is called the People’s Republic of China!
Mu Jian grabbed his neck and threatened, “Will you tell me or not?”
”Talk about it.” Li Dezhuang was too lazy to argue with him. Anything that could be appeased with just one sentence was not a big deal. “I only have Your Highness.”
Mu Jian smiled and kissed Li Dezhuang’s lips contentedly.
The little princess’ voice outside was getting closer and closer.
Mu Jian let him go and went out to talk to the little princess.
Li Dezhuang thought about it and grabbed Mu Jian’s clothes.
Mu Jian turned around, “What’s wrong? Didn’t you kiss enough? Do you want me to kiss you again?”
”No. I want to ask Your Highness, the child is innocent, can you let this little princess go?”
Mu Jian’s gaze grew colder.
She pulled her clothes back from Li Dezhuang’s hands and gently patted Li Dezhuang’s face, feeling helpless and indulgent.
”Guard Li, I just said that I don’t like you caring about others like this.”
Li Dezhuang was startled.
His lips opened and closed, but no words came out.
Mu Jian smiled and tapped the tip of his nose, speaking with some helplessness and indulgence.
”For the last time, remember. The one you should care about is me, not others.”
Li Dezhuang stood there in a daze.
He heard the little princess’s joyful exclamation after Mu Jian left, and heard their laughter as they walked away. The brother and sister seemed to be having such a good time, but one of them was secretly murderous.
After that, Mu Jian seemed to rarely bring Li Dezhuang with him when meeting outsiders.
In Mu Jian’s words: “I’m afraid you’ll care about someone else, and I’ll be really jealous.”
Li Dezhuang was speechless. He often painted and read books alone in his room. He watched the changes in the palace with cold eyes. More and more important officials came.
The loyalty and fear of Mu Jian among the people in the palace were growing.
After the beginning of autumn, several major events occurred in the court, and several first-rank officials were replaced. And the new officials seemed to be all Mu Jian’s men.
Who could have thought that the child who once lived in the cold palace, hungry and cold, could sit high on the Diaoyutai and easily control half of the court’s connections and power?
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Mu Jian had people prepare moon cakes and various snacks early and put them in the room, waiting for them to be eaten when he returns from the lantern festival in the evening.
Mu Jian specially changed into a set of clothes similar to Li Dezhuang’s and tied a strange knot on his hands.
Smiling.
”This is the knot that my teacher taught me a while ago. You will never be able to break free! This way we can go out and watch the Lantern Festival without any worries!”
Li Dezhuang looked at the knot on his wrist.
What on earth are you learning in your teacher’s class? !
Chapter 63: I will give you everything Zhuangzhuang likes
The streets are indeed bustling during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Crowded with people…
Thanks to Mu Jian and the knot on his hand, otherwise he would have been squeezed to who knows where by the crowd.
He followed behind Mu Jian, stumbling and stepping on Mu Jian’s shoes several times.
Mu Jian turned his head and smiled at him, holding his hand a little tighter. Later, one time, he was accidentally squeezed into Mu Jian’s arms. Li Dezhuang subconsciously hugged him.
Mu Jian started to go wherever there were a lot of people, sometimes walking and sometimes stopping, waiting for him to “throw himself into his arms.”
Li Dezhuang was so angry that his nose was about to become crooked!
”If you want me to hug you, just tell me! Don’t torture me like this!”
Mu Jian held the candied haws he had just bought in his hand and rubbed it gently against his lips, “Do you want to eat it?”
Li Dezhuang didn’t start.
Actions replace answers.
Mu Jian didn’t mind at all, and happily took the candied haws that had just rubbed against Li Dezhuang’s lips into his mouth. After taking two bites, he narrowed his eyes with a smile.
“So sweet.”
Li Dezhuang glanced at him.
Mu Jian then slowly answered what he had just said, “I want you to hug me, will you?”
