C103 A Little White Lie
“It’s the middle of the night, why are you still awake?” Zhan Tianming could not hold in his laughter.
“Humph!” Feng Wushuang glanced over at Zhan Tianming.
“Beauty, don’t be this way. I’m just thinking for you.” Zhan Tianming gave her a look that said ‘I’m doing this for your own good,’ and laughed. “Just to let you know, according to the latest scientific research, the skin rejuvenates itself during the night and your blood supply is also the most abundant during sleep.”
“While you sleep, the body’s muscles and internal organs will be resting, while the skin and blood vessels will be working overtime. Your blood will be circulating to your skin, providing it with sufficient nutrition and oxygen. With this ongoing blood flow, the skin undergoes a process of repair and rebirth on its own, which will prevent and delay the aging of the skin.”
“So, beautiful skin is due to a good night of sleep.”
“If you don’t sleep well, this will cause your skin to be dry, rough, dark and wrinkled.”
Hearing Zhan Tianming’s explanation, Feng Wushuang’s hands immediately flew to her face.
Her pair of bright big eyes stared straight at Zhan Tianming, completely amazed that Zhan Tianming was knowledgeable of such things.
Finally, she looked away and said, “Although I have no idea what you’re talking about, it does make sense.”
“Haha.” Zhan Tianming was grinning from ear to ear.
These were all things he had seen online while browsing the web in the past.
Take note of this when you have some time on your hands and need to take care of your female friends around you.
And why not?
After all, the difference between success or failure was determined by details.
The boys who paid attention to these details would always get the girls.
At least, this was always to Zhan Tianming’s thinking.
However, he didn’t know what went through the girl's minds when he offered these details.
Just as Zhan Tianming was feeling happy over his little trick, Feng Wushuang suddenly leaped from her seat and said, “If there’s any truth in what you just said, then I better head to bed early. Alright, you should leave already. This Princess needs her beauty sleep.”
Feng Wushuang lifted her hand and pointed it in the direction of the door.
“Not yet, I still have some things I need to go over with you,” Zhan Tianming said.
“What else do you need? What’s more important than this Princess treating her skin right? Quickly, leave at once.”
With that, Feng Wushuang prepared to kick Zhan Tianming out.
“Hey, hey, hey, Beauty, I really have something very important to talk over with you.”
“Whatever it is, we can go over tomorrow.”
Feng Wushuang made another attempt to push Zhan Tianming out.
“No, let me say something.” Zhan Tianming made his final struggle.
Feng Wushuang was at a loss and she could only stare at Zhan Tianming with a displeased expression on her face and said, “Alright then, I’ll hear you out, but you have to promise me to concoct a Beauty Pellet to help me repair my skin.”
“Fine, fine, fine. I promise you,” Zhan Tianming said, feeling helpless.
Feng Wushuang was obviously careless, yet she acted like those jade-like young ladies of rich families, selfish to the point of death.
Will you die if I don’t?
However, Zhan Tianming kept those words to himself.
Otherwise, being scolded was considered to be light punishment.
It would be weird if he didn’t get kicked out of her life.
After thinking for a while, Zhan Tianming said in a solemn voice, “Do you think that County Princess Wanyou should be pitied?”
Feng Wushuang frowned, then decided to nod her head after a moment of thinking. “En, she’s a little pitiful.”
“Just a little?” Zhan Tianming wanted to confirm.
Feng Wushuang at first didn’t want to admit things, but with Zhan Tianming staring down at her for so long, she finally said in an unhappy tone, “Alright, alright, I do admit her current situation has made her rather pitiful, but I have already given up making things difficult for her. What else do you want me to do?”
Hearing her answer, Zhan Tianming could not help but laugh.
This Feng Wushuang didn’t sound like a genuine County Princess at all.
However...
Her temperament was rather cute. At least compared to the County Princess characters in those TV series she came off even more adorable.
Then, Zhan Tianming said, slowly guiding her up to this point, “Since we both agree that she’s pitiful, shouldn’t we do something to help her out properly?”
A pout could be seen on Feng Wushuang’s red lips.
A pair of bright big eyes stared directly at Zhan Tianming, without flinching.
“Humph! Could it be that this soon to be dead Zhan Tianming has taken a fancy to that ugly monster?”
With contempt in her heart, Feng Wushuang’s face revealed her deep hatred for her foe.
Although she admitted that Zongzheng Wanyou did seem pitiful, she had no clue how to help either.
Finally, she thought to ask, “How do you suggest we help?”
On Zhan Tianming’s face was a grin.
Haha...
The moment I was waiting for.
Then, Zhan Tianming continued in a solemn voice, “So it’s like this, didn’t I promise you previously that I would act out a play for you? Right now, there is still one more day until the deadline is up. However, you already know Zongzheng Wanyou is in such a pitiful state and is even facing danger, right?”
Feng Wushuang glanced over at Zhan Tianming, as if sensing something inexplicable from the latter’s eyes.
Unfortunately...
Nothing.
In the end, she could do nothing but nod in dissatisfaction, saying, “That right, I’m fully aware of those things.”
After she finished, Zhan Tianming immediately continued saying, “So Housekeeper Luo has asked me to escort County Princess Wanyou to another place to hide in the meantime, and it’s already late at night, but I’m a man who keeps his word. I haven’t even fulfilled my promise to you yet, so how can I abandon our plans like this?”
“Look, on one hand is my promise to you, and on the other is the safety of County Princess Wanyou. I am at a loss at what to choose.”
“So, I want…”
“Alright, alright, alright.” Feng Wushuang waved her hands around impatiently.
Then, the big eyes locked with Zhan Tianming’s gaze.
“Zhan Tianming, be truthful, do you have feelings for that ugly bastard so you agreed to Housekeeper Luo’s request?”
Zhan Tianming’s heart skipped a beat in his chest.
Damn it!
On the surface, she didn’t appear too smart, but the truth of the matter was, he knew what this Feng Wushuang was capable of.
This was not a simple woman.
But you can’t outrightly say yes, can you?
It depends on whether I admit things or not.
“Cough, cough…”
After coughing twice, Zhan Tianming made his excuse, “Beautiful girl, it seems that you, a beauty who possesses both personality and a benevolent heart, can not get along with her. What do you make of me? Do you really think I would go behind your back and like that County Princess Wanyou? Do you really think I’m that useless?”
Hearing him say those words, Feng Wushuang could not help but feel flattered.
Although she was surrounded by people who praised her every day, it was still the first time someone undulated her with praises in this way.
Very new and very interesting, indeed.
She couldn’t help but feel happiness overflow in her heart.
However, she pretended to act disdainfully and lightly snorted. “Hmph, at least you’re being honest.”
After he heard this, Zhan Tianming was sweating in his clothes.
However...
Indeed, he wasn’t being dishonest.
Feng Wushuang’s personality and companionship were both truly very enjoyable.
Besides, even if he was lying, the lie would only be a white lie.
“Okay, tell me what exactly you want me to do,” Feng Wushuang said.
Zhan Tianming could not hide his elation, and said, “It’s all very simple. Just say the word that the agreement between you and I has already been fulfilled. This way, I will be able to peacefully escort County Princess Wanyou without a guilty conscience.”
Feng Wushuang expressed a little dissatisfaction, but in the end, she still curled her lips and said, “Alright, the agreement between you and I has already been completed.”
Immediately, the notification system sound that Zhan Tianming was waiting to hear sounded out in his mind.
“Ding dong…”
