Luck Reliant Beauty – CH 096

Chapter 96: Oh No! Oh No!

Seeing the once imposing and arrogant young master coughing like this, Jiang Mi cautiously observed him, thinking to herself, “This man had an extraordinary air about him, but I did not expect him to be so frail.”

After coughing for a while, the young master turned around and met Jiang Mi’s expressive eyes. And at this moment, those eyes were filled with pity as they looked at him.

The young master was taken aback, but being a clever man, he immediately understood what Jiang Mi was thinking.

Instantly, the young master’s face darkened.

However, in a flash, he met that familiar serious expression on her face, which had clearly grown much older and more beautiful, now possessing six tenths of the former world-renowned Lady Huarui’s beauty. Remembering what she had just said, he could not help but want to laugh again.

Forcibly suppressing a laugh, the noble young master slowly walked up to Jiang Mi, staring down at her for a moment before saying in a low voice, “I never imagined that Young Lady Jiang was actually the wife of an old friend. My apologies, my apologies!”

Seeing that her prediction was spot on, Jiang Mi became smug. She smiled, her almond-shaped eyes narrowing, and said, “It’s alright, it’s alright. It does not matter since Young Master knows now.”

The noble young master nodded, speaking gently, “Young Lady, my surname’s also Cui.”

Jiang Mi was even more delighted. She exclaimed joyfully, “So, Young Master and my Young Master Cui are of the same clan?”

For some reason, Jiang Mi sensed a smile in the man’s eyes after she said, “My Young Master Cui.” After a moment, seeing Jiang Mi staring at him, the noble young master coughed lightly and replied, “Indeed, we are of the same clan.”

Jiang Mi relaxed. However, just in case, she cautiously asked, “So, what does Young Master intend to do with me?”

Young Master’s voice chuckled as he said in a low voice, “Hmm. Cui Zi Xuan and I have always been inseparable… Since Young Lady Jiang is Cui Zi Xuan’s beloved, then she’s also my beloved!”

Was there such a thing?

Jiang Mi’s eyes widened.

Because what this person said was so unexpected, she remained stunned for a long time, staring blankly into Young Master’s eyes.

After a long while, Jiang Mi came to her senses. At this moment, the smug smile on her face had completely faded. Staring blankly at the tall, imposing man opposite her, Jiang Mi stammered, “Master, Young Master, something seems off…”

Young Master interrupted her gently. “Nothing’s wrong!” He leaned closer to Jiang Mi, wickedly blowing a breath into her ear before softly saying, “With Cui Zi Xuan, it’s either me or him. It’s either him or me…”

Oh no, oh no! He was her enemy! And a deep-seated one at that!

While Jiang Mi stood there, pale-faced and dumbfounded, Young Master continued to whisper in her ear, “Hmm, you understand now, right? Young Lady Jiang, from now on, you are mine, understand?”

Jiang Mi did not understand at all, and she did not want to understand.

Seeing her standing there, stunned and bewildered… The noble young master smiled faintly, then turned and walked towards the bed. As he walked, without turning back, he said in a low voice, “Since you’ve become my captive, you’d better behave yourself and uphold your wifely duties.” He then added casually, “It’s getting late. I’m tired today, so I will let you go for now. You can rest here.” As soon as he finished speaking, a rustling sound came. When Jiang Mi cautiously looked up after a while, she saw that the bed curtains were drawn, and the breeze blowing in from the window was making the mask hanging on the bedpost sway.

…Jiang Mi had thought she would not be able to sleep that night, but to her surprise, she slept soundly until dawn the next day.

Upon waking, Jiang Mi rubbed her eyes for a while before gradually remembering everything that had happened yesterday.

Where was that noble young master?

Jiang Mi looked around but found the cabin empty. Listening further, she heard the sound of splashing water and whispers outside.

Jiang Mi quickly stood up. Beside her, her maids had already laid out her toiletries. Jiang Mi quickly washed and dressed.

However, just as she was about to leave the cabin, she saw the two maids who had served her bath the night before enter. The two maids approached Jiang Mi, pressed her down on the couch, and one of them combed her hair while the other applied her makeup.

These two were experienced in serving people, and they made her feel comfortable. Jiang Mi let them do as they pleased for a while.

A moment later, Jiang Mi was about to stand up when her eyes glanced sideways at the bronze mirror in front of her. She froze, stammering, “What, this woman’s hairstyle?”

The maid on her left looked at her suspiciously and said irritably, “You are Young Master’s person now; do you still think of yourself as a maiden?”

The other maid was noticeably more amiable. She smiled gently and said, “Young Lady, you do not know; this was Young Master’s order. He said when he got up just now that you are his person.” Seeing Jiang Mi’s eyes suddenly become blank, the maid thought her expression was quite vivid and could not help but look at her twice. After a moment, she continued, “Being in a foreign land, it’s inevitable to encounter some shady characters. Young Lady is exceptionally beautiful. This hairstyle and formal recognition will make those people think twice!”

Actually, Jiang Mi was no longer bothered by it at this point!

As a prisoner, her most important thing was to preserve her life and chastity. As for the hairstyle, it was a minor matter; let that person do whatever he wanted.

After dressing up, Jiang Mi, accompanied by two maids, happily left the cabin.

Almost immediately upon stepping out, Jiang Mi saw the sun high overhead and the magnificent city appearing on the opposite bank of the river.

Squinting slightly from the sunlight, Jiang Mi said somewhat embarrassedly, “I overslept today.” It was already noon.

Behind her, the good-natured maid smiled understandingly. “Young Master mentioned before he left that Young Lady had worked hard last night and would be getting up late this morning. He even had the servants keep the food warm…”

Worked hard? What hardship?

Jiang Mi turned around abruptly.

The two maids’ smiles were jarring. Jiang Mi understood their suspicions, and she stammered, “No, it’s not like that.”

As she spoke, Jiang Mi met the maids’ gazes and thought again, “What is the point of explaining to them?”

Turning her head, Jiang Mi looked at the crowd pacing on the deck and the cheering crowd on the bow, facing the approaching city, and thought despairingly, “With that one sentence and this hairstyle… even if I explained my innocence, no one would believe me!”

After a while, Jiang Mi suddenly asked, “Is your Young Master Cui of the Cui Clan of Boling or the Cui Clan of Qinghe?”

Behind her, a maid laughed, “Naturally, the Cui Clan of Boling!”

It was all over!
