Chapter 33: What Attributes or Abilities Did She Have!

Proofreader: Prof. Zhu Yuan

Beiming Xuan suddenly turned hostile.

That change of countenance reminded Ruan Jiujiu of her previous disrespectful “flirting” acts. She scolded herself silently for failure to take her itchy fingers away from Beiming Xuan’s chest muscle. Then she put on a fawning smile and said: “My lord, I’m sorry for having caused you so much trouble. It was so ignorant of me not to recognize such a great person like you. A great man rarely harbors grievance against wrongs of a nobody like me.”

Beiming Xuan was not swayed by her clever talk. Ruan Jiujiu looked at her feet as she said in a low voice: “That was because of you.”

“What did you say?” Beiming Xuan’s untamed anger was once again aroused. He glared at Ruan Jiujiu as if he was going to kill her immediately.

Ruan Jiujiu shook her hands and said: “That was because you are so handsome!”

Beiming Xuan hesitated.

Nobody had ever dared to make comments on his appearance. It was so bold of this silly girl.

If someone had the audacity to compliment Beiming Xuan in that way, he was definitely courting his death. However, moved by Ruan Jiujiu’s innocence, Beiming Xuan could not help becoming soft-hearted in front of her.

Was she bad-looking? That would be going too far. However, she was by no means a beauty. Though being all skin and bone, she had good-looking eyes. And the pureness in her eyes touched Beiming Xuan deeply.

Pureness? He couldn’t believe that he might have the opportunity to know what pureness was like from such a slovenly girl. He had been deprived of pureness since he was born.

He felt delighted to get in touch with such pureness.

“My lord, I’m an orphan girl. People in the Ruan Mansion treat me badly. And my only younger sister is very anxious to kill me. I would very much appreciate it if you can take me in.” Ruan Jiujiu spoke in an earnest tone. Actually, she didn’t want to follow Beiming Xuan at all. However, she took careful consideration and found it the best choice for her at present and in the future.

At the moment, only through cheating Beiming Xuan into the belief that she would do no harm could she have the opportunity to survive. In the future, if she returned to the capital, she might encounter all sorts of bad characters due to Beiming Xuan’s complicated social network. However, she could also be protected by Beiming Xuan’s position of strength.

“Why do I have to take you in?” Beiming Xuan squinted his eyes.

By no chance would he let her be free. And if she was of no use, he would definitely kill her.

“I am of big use. I possess medical skills and also do poison research. What’s more, I can wait on you!” Ruan Jiujiu grinned at Beiming Xuan, with a fawning smile on her face.

“Wait on me?” Beiming Xuan cast a glance at Ruan Jiujiu’s leg. It was still hooked to his waist. “Are you serious?”

“Indeed! I came to wait on you, my lord.” Ruan Jiujiu put on a sweet smile while she was cursing silently. With her foot gently caressing his body, she spoke in a soft voice: “Would you like to have a try?”

“Ruan Jiujiu!” Beiming Xuan’s eyes blazed with fury.

The trace of a smile appeared at the corner of Ruan Jiujiu’s mouth. She was satisfied.

Beiming Xuan got enraged, which was exactly what Ruan Jiujiu hoped for. Beiming Xuan was actually pure in thought when it came to sex. As long as she could manipulate his thought, she would definitely escape from being killed by him.

“My lord, the toxin has just been eliminated. You could feel better if I give you a massage and improve your blood circulation.”

“A massage?” Beiming Xuan squinted at Ruan Jiujiu.

Ruan Jiujiu couldn’t help but get furious inwardly. What did he mean by being skeptical?

Giving a massage was such a basic medical practice in traditional Chinese medicine that it required no more than the ability to be familiar with the acupuncture point. It was no exaggeration to say that she excelled both in grasping remarkable medical skills and doing poison research in Group Nine. She was proficient both in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine.

She didn’t give a damn when others spoke ill of her character. However, she would get mad if her professional skills were looked down upon.

“Take off your clothes, and lie on your stomach.”

Finally, Beiming Xuan followed Ruan Jiujiu’s instructions as if his mind was possessed by some evil spirits. Ruan Jiujiu did not talk big. Although not an expert, she could locate those acupuncture points unerringly. In addition, she would concentrate all efforts on her work as soon as she got started.

With Ruan Jiujiu’s skillful rubbing and pinching on his back, Beiming Xuan felt very comfortable. He gradually got used to it, no longer feeling like resisting such physical contact.

Ning Chao and Zou Meng were keeping guard outside the study, deep in inner struggles. Suddenly, they heard Beiming Xuan mumbling something like “Um, that is comfortable” and “to the left…try harder” from inside.

God! What are they doing!

Zou Meng was about to rush in, but Ning Chao prevented him from doing so. Although they stood still, their minds had gone into darker places…

What had their lord done…What attributes or abilities did Ruan Jiujiu have!

“Phew, I’m so tired!” Not knowing how long she had worked, Ruan Jiujiu felt some pain and numbness in her fingers. She breathed a sigh and then stopped.

She gazed at Beiming Xuan who was sound asleep, with his charming back exposed.

She bared her teeth in satisfaction.

She couldn’t believe that she had carefully massaged his back for such a long time, totally oblivious of herself. Ruan Jiujiu stroked her forehead, realizing that it was not easy to change her inclination for hard work

She jumped down from the bed and tiptoed quietly towards the door. When she was about to get out of the room, she turned back and covered Beiming Xuan with a thin blanket.

Beiming Xuan was not woken up by the noise, which would definitely surprise Ning Chao if he was here, since Beiming Xuan would never be off guard.

Then Ning Chao was stupefied. Ruan Jiujiu opened the door, stepped out feebly and said to Ning Chao: “How long it’s been since your lord did that? It was sheer torture for me. I am exhausted.”

What?

Ning Chao paled visibly with shock.

Although he, together with Zou Meng, had failed to curb their wild imagination, they still got stunned by Ruan Jiujiu’s direct answer.

Did the lord really have sex with Ruan Jiujiu?

That was intolerable!

Ruan Jiujiu was completely unaware that her ambiguous term had been misunderstood by others as having sex! Even if she proceeded to make it clear that she was just giving a massage, nobody would believe her.

Ning Chao froze up without knowing what to say. Zou Meng, on the contrary, was calm at that moment. Zou Meng had always been a rough guy. If the lord was truly fond of Ruan Jiujiu, he would simply accept that without realizing the huge discrepancy in their social status.

Zou Meng started to hold a high opinion of Ruan Jiujiu. That little girl turned out not to be afraid of Beiming Xuan, of whom Zou Meng and even the ghosts stood in awe.

He really admired Ruan Jiujiu’s courage. He thought it was so remarkable for a little girl to have courage even greater than he did.

“Miss Ruan, you got tired. Would you like to have a rest?”

Ruan Jiujiu nodded. She was truly tired. For the time being, there was no chance that she could escape, and Beiming Xuan would not kill her. So she might just as well have a good rest.

Ruan Jiujiu saw a figure running towards here as she took the first step.

It was Murong. He came to the study and saw Ruan Jiujiu standing outside. At the sight of that, Murong felt a surge of relief.

After Ruan Jiujiu was “invited” by Zou Meng, he got seized by anxiety, fearing that Ruan Jiujiu would get killed by Beiming Xuan, as she was so reckless that Beiming Xuan could not possibly stand her.

He was taking care of all the poisoned ones. Having confirmed that all of them were entirely out of danger, he hastened over to help retrieve the situation.

It seemed, however, that Ruan Jiujiu was not a silly girl.

“Miss Ruan, are you okay?”

Murong heard a cold voice from inside before Ruan Jiujiu could answer. It was Beiming Xuan. He said: “Is that Murong? Come in.”
