Chapter 121: Chapter 85: Do you have any strange habits?_3

Translator: 549690339

“Hmph, whose side are you on to actually help outsiders bully me…”

Lu Miaohuan’s rosy lips pursed slightly as she spoke in annoyance.

“Second Miss, it’s best to forgive and forget. Continuing this fuss isn’t good for you, so let’s just let it be.”

Lu Changsheng spoke in a gentle voice.

“Enough already, you’re about the same age as me, yet you talk like you’re my father, all long-winded.”

Lu Miaohuan bit her lip and said impatiently.

Then, she put down the gown in her hands, not caring for it any longer, and strode out of the shop with long, determined steps.

“Truly has the temper of a young lady.”

Lu Changsheng watched Lu Miaohuan’s retreating graceful figure, shaking his head and feeling as if he’d asked for the annoyance himself.

But in that situation, he couldn’t just watch Lu Miaohuan get hit by the fireball.

After all, he was protected by four magic artifacts and was unafraid of such ordinary spells.

And it was unknown whether Lu Miaohuan had any protective magic artifacts on her.

Though it was highly likely she had them, what if she didn’t?

Lu Changsheng gave the Shopkeeper a slight bow and then left the shop too.

Stepping out of the shop, he saw Lu Miaohuan standing on the side, waiting for him with an aloof and noble air.

“Lu Changsheng, what are you doing here?”

Lu Miaohuan asked as soon as Lu Changsheng appeared.

“I just happened to be passing by, and when I heard you were arguing with someone, I took a longer look.”

Lu Changsheng replied off-handedly.

Hearing this, Lu Miaohuan, remembering her recent disdainful demeanor being witnessed by Lu Changsheng, felt somewhat embarrassed.

She then placed her hands behind her back and gently swayed her body, whispering in a low voice, “Thanks for just now.”

She was aware that if the situation had really escalated, it would have been difficult to settle things without either side giving in.

And she felt somewhat touched by Lu Changsheng appearing to shield her from the Fireball Technique.

Although she did have a protective artifact, the sudden appearance of Lu Changsheng, standing tall in front of her, stirred some emotions within her.

“Hm?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

He hadn’t expected the Second Miss to actually thank someone, to thank him.

He moved a bit closer and teased, “What was that, Second Miss? Your voice was so soft, I didn’t hear clearly.”

“Hmph, if you didn’t hear it, forget it.”

Lu Miaohuan huffed and quickly walked away.

She wasn’t someone who easily thanked others.

But considering how she’d never shown Lu Changsheng a friendly face before, and how he’d still stood in front of her in a dangerous moment,

and even apologized to Zheng Yongshan on her behalf, she felt that saying thanks wasn’t too much.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng knew that the Second Miss thanking him must have taken some courage.

He couldn’t help but smile, catching up with her and saying, “I heard it, I heard it, I just thought I might have heard wrong. I wanted to confirm it, but if you’re going to say thanks, shouldn’t you show a little more gratitude?”

“What do you want?”

Lu Miaohuan asked, her face cool and dignified.

“It’s nothing much, just improve your attitude a bit and call me ‘brother’ as a sign of thanks.”

Lu Changsheng said jokingly.

Lu Miaohuan was stunned by his words.

She bit her lip slightly, her clear eyes showing surprise.

A delicate blush spread over her exquisite, cold features, like that of a bashful young girl. She shot Lu Changsheng a glance and uttered three words: “In your dreams!”

Then, those long legs wrapped in black silk stockings, stepped in slender high heels, quickened their pace, her figure swaying enticingly.

Lu Changsheng was amused by Lu Miaohuan’s half-annoyed, half-charming reproach and couldn’t help but smile.

He found teasing this seemingly aloof and noble Second Miss quite amusing.

“Hm?”

At that moment, Lu Changsheng noticed that after walking briskly for a stretch, Lu Miaohuan’s pace had slowed down again.

She even walked slower and slower, at a pace well below that of a normal person.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng’s lips couldn’t help but curl up slightly, revealing a trace of a smile, and he too slowed down his pace.

He watched Lu Miaohuan move at such a slow pace, admiring the graceful and lithe figure of her from behind.

It had to be said, the second miss’s figure, especially those long legs clad in black silk and high heels, was truly stunning.

Only Feng Jiuniang of the White Jade Tower could compare.

But such things, everyone has their own flavor.

Lu Changsheng already had so many wives, maids, and concubines, especially the maids purchased from the White Jade Tower not long ago, who all had looks and figures that were top-notch, but in his eyes, compared to this second miss, they certainly lacked that certain flavor.

When it comes to physical appearance, after a certain point, it’s all about status, temperament, and other aspects.

Lu Miaohuan walked slowly for a while, and upon seeing that Lu Changsheng didn’t catch up to coax her, she immediately felt some displeasure.

She had walked away without paying him any attention, yet he didn’t know to come and apologize.

After walking slowly some more, Lu Miaohuan couldn’t stand it any longer and decided to outright ignore Lu Changsheng, promptly walking away at a normal pace.

Seeing that Lu Miaohuan had resumed her normal speed, Lu Changsheng immediately quickened his steps and in an instant came up beside her, giving her quite a scare.

“All I wanted was for you to say thanks with a better attitude, but if you don’t want to, that’s fine, why get angry? It’s not polite at all.”

Hearing Lu Changsheng’s complaint, Lu Miaohuan felt so irritated that she didn’t know where to vent her anger, thinking it was too annoying, and again she thought about ignoring him and walking away.

But she also felt that it might not be very nice, indeed it wasn’t very polite.

Lu Miaohuan felt that even though she really disliked Lu Changsheng, according to her usual temperament, she wouldn’t be concerned about what’s not so nice or polite, yet she subconsciously didn’t think about why she was behaving this way.

She was also somewhat afraid to consider why she was acting so out of character.

“Lu Changsheng, why on earth did you decide to move out and live by yourself?”

Lu Miaohuan asked as if it was no big deal.

“Every time you see me, Second Miss, you look disgusted and displeased, so I thought it over and decided to move out and live by myself.”

Lu Changsheng then said.

“Do you even know how to speak?”

Lu Miaohuan huffed, her tone anything but pleasant.

She remembered that at the initial meeting for the arranged marriage, Lu Changsheng was actually very eloquent, making conversations very comfortable. Yet now, he was so irritating.

“Isn’t that what you asked me? Why I moved out? I’m just telling the truth,” Lu Changsheng said with a shrug, looking helpless.

“Well then, to express my gratitude for today, from now on, I won’t be disgusted by you.”

Lu Miaohuan snorted softly, speaking with a face of cold and noble beauty.

“No worries, feel free to be disgusted if you like, don’t make yourself sick over it.”

“And having seen it so many times, I’ve gotten used to it, I actually think you look pretty cute when you’re disgusted.”

Lu Changsheng said casually.

He felt that when chatting with a miss of such a temper, one has to do the opposite; playing along with her was absolutely out of the question.

Anyway, he didn’t have too many pursuits regarding this second miss. If he did fancy anything, it was her body, so he was very unconcerned.

“Are you sick in the head?”

Lu Miaohuan, infuriated, kicked Lu Changsheng right away.

She felt that she was being very patient in speaking to Lu Changsheng, yet every sentence he spoke was irksome.

Lu Changsheng dodged lightly, and as he looked down, he saw Lu Miaohuan’s delicate feet adorned with a pair of elegant crystal shoes, the exposed skin wrapped in a layer of black sheer stockings.

The little feet in the high heels seemed to merge together, the curves flowing smoothly without showing a trace of abruptness, utterly captivating.

As her small foot kicked out, the shapely calf peeked out from underneath the skirt hem through the thin-as-wing stockings, showing the skin’s pale delicate texture.

Simply ‘leg-play’ year series material, irresistible to fantasize about cradling those jade feet and lovely legs in one’s hands and thoroughly enjoying them.

“What are you looking at?”

Seeing Lu Changsheng looking down at something, Lu Miaohuan also lowered her head to look.

She even lifted the beautiful and icy, silver-shining stiletto heel back and forth, checking for something, but found nothing out of the ordinary.

The next moment, as if realizing what Lu Changsheng was looking at, she felt a hint of secret satisfaction and pride, and her mood improved a lot.

Then, glancing at Lu Changsheng with a bit of scrutiny, she spoke coldly, “Do you have some kind of strange fetish or something?”

PS: Sigh, it was supposed to be just a short segment, but as I wrote, I couldn’t stop, and now I don’t know how to end it. I’ll try to write less of this kind of plot in the future. Let’s see if I can crank out another chapter today; if not, there will definitely be two updates tomorrow!
