Chapter 97: Ambiguous, Deformed

Bai Chun, lying in the rain, was finally persuaded by Xia Zhi and dragged into the building. As Li Hong's confidants, the five girls and the prince lived on the fourth floor. As for the fifth floor, it was naturally reserved for the emperor and empress.

Li Hong watched Bai Chun being dragged away downstairs, and his heart was relieved. It was a lie to say that he didn't care about Bai Chun. Seeing Ren Lao Ren complained, he was also directed by Xia Zhi to other buildings.

Li Hong could finally relax. For so many years, Bai Chun had been by his side, doing his job conscientiously and diligently, and the burden on him was indeed not light. It was exactly as rumored by the outside world, Bai Chun was the prince's clone.

Standing in front of the French window, Li Hong put aside all his worries and began to appreciate the heavy rain outside that was washing over everything in Taiyi City.

After a while, Xia Zhi's anxious voice sounded at the door: "Master, Bai Chun refused to change his clothes and just sat there in a daze."

"Why?" Li Hong did not look back and continued to appreciate the rain outside, but his attention was no longer on the rain scene outside.

"I don't know. She ignored me when I talked to her, like a wooden man. So I came to find you." Xia Zhi said at the end, sticking out her tongue mischievously, fearing that the prince would punish her for it.

"I've spoiled you all over these years. Each one of you is more stubborn than the other." Li Hong shook the ponytail behind his head and walked out of the room first.

Xia Zhi behind him stuck out her tongue mischievously again, and hurriedly followed Li Hong to Bai Chun's room.

...

...

When I entered Bai Chun's room, I saw a wet mark on the floor. Looking up, I saw Bai Chun sitting dejectedly in front of the window. Her cotton shirt and skirt were already soaked, and tightly stuck to her exquisite and proud figure.

Because of the rain, her long straight hair that reached her hips looked like a drowned chicken, but instead of looking disheveled, she looked quite beautiful and sexy in a different way.

Li Hong sighed helplessly and slowly walked to Bai Chun. Even so, Bai Chun sat there motionless. Her beautiful eyes had lost their former color and looked a little dim and sad.

Xia Zhi followed and took a look, then gently closed the door behind him, then stood behind Li Hong, waiting for instructions.

"Don't be sad. It's not that we are beyond redemption. We just need to not make the same mistake of losing the big picture over the small one in the future." Li Hong reached out his hand and gently wiped away the raindrops that had dripped onto Bai Chun's beautiful eyes from her white hair.

Bai Chun remained motionless, staring out the window with lifeless eyes. She seemed not to even notice her beloved prince who was in front of her. At this moment, no one knew what she was thinking.

Li Hong continued to sigh. He knew Bai Chun's character better than anyone else. When he got stubborn, even ten cows couldn't pull him back.

Having no choice, Li Hong took the handkerchief handed over by Xia Zhi, gently held the extremely pure and beautiful face with both hands, and wiped the rain off her face gently. However, the rain under her eyes could not be wiped clean no matter what he did. It kept flowing out after being wiped, and kept flowing out after being wiped.

"No, why are you crying again? Bai Chun, do you think I was wrong?" Li Hong asked curiously as he looked at the endless tears.

Bai Chun shook her head silently and continued to remain silent, allowing Li Hong to hold her beautiful cheeks with her eyes still empty.

"What the hell is going to be done with this? Ah? How am I going to manage it in the future? Ah? I can't even say anything to them one by one. I'll get angry if I say anything. So, you can just be the prince in the future, and I'll be your maid." Li Hong let go of Bai Chun's beautiful face and threw the wet handkerchief in his hand onto the carpet at his feet.

Looking at the place where Bai Chun was sitting, it was already wet. He waved his hand helplessly and said to Xia Zhi, "Go change her clothes. If she keeps wearing wet and cold clothes like this, she will get sick."

"Yes, sir." Xia Zhi responded hurriedly, taking two steps forward, ready to help Bai Chun take off his outer sleeves first.

"Don't touch me." Bai Chun suddenly said coldly, but his expression was still cold and desolate, and his eyes continued to be empty.

Xia Zhi had no choice but to take two steps back and looked at Li Hong helplessly.

Li Hong shook his head helplessly again, alas... this is not a servant, this is my aunt.

"I'm warning you, Xia Zhi. Tell Xiaoxue and the others later that if anyone dares to imitate this lady in the future, I will give you away. Li Xian and Li Zhe have been crying and shouting in front of my mother every day recently, asking me to exchange maids with them. If you dare to imitate them, I will give you away to them." Li Hong made a decision, but after thinking about it, he decided to give Xia Zhi and the others a shot of prevention first, to prevent them from saying something bad in the future.

"Yes, I will remember your words." Xia Zhi said with her head down, and it was unknown whether her expression on her tall face was fear or laughter.

Helpless Li Hong continued to walk towards Bai Chun and signaled Xia Zhi to draw the curtains. The candles in the room had already been lit, and even though it was a rainy day, the whole room was as bright as day.

Li Hong calmly and leisurely put his hand on Bai Chun's shoulder, and deftly unbuttoned Bai Chun's cotton shirt and skirt.

Bai Chun seemed to have returned to her previous state, like a wooden figure, allowing Li Hong's hands to take off her sleeves.

Li Hong threw his shirt to the ground and continued with a sigh, "You are my aunt, I will serve you."

Bai Chun's snow-white neck was unbuttoned and scattered one by one as Li Hong's fingers flew.

Li Hong pulled gently, and Bai Chun was left with only one piece of expensive underwear on her entire upper body. Moreover, it was the underwear that Li Hong had drawn and asked Bai Chun to make based on the underwear of a woman in her previous life.

He reached out and touched her underwear, which was also soaked by the rain. He then placed one hand on Bai Chun's smooth and delicate shoulders. There was a small scar on her snow-white and smooth shoulders, which he pressed down.

The scar was caused by the time when he was careless and his skateboard flew out of control while skateboarding. Bai Chun was afraid that he would get hurt, so he tried to catch him at all costs, but the skateboard hit Bai Chun's shoulder, leaving a small scar.

Li Hong's other hand untied the only string behind Bai Chun's underwear without hesitation.

Bai Chun, with her upper body naked, burst into tears and threw herself into Li Hong's arms, hugging Li Hong's waist tightly.

Li Hong looked up at the ceiling, stroked the pure white hair and said, "Okay, take off your skirt and take a hot bath. There are still many things for you to do tomorrow."

Bai Chun didn't say anything, but just hugged Li Hong tightly, not caring about her beautiful hair. Originally scattered on her bare back as smooth as jade, Li Hong slowly picked up her hair and shook off the rain water on it.

Bai Chun didn't say anything in Li Hong's arms. She just nodded obediently like a cat, then left Li Hong's arms and stood up from her seat.

The skirt, which had been completely unbuttoned by Li Hong, slid onto the carpet as Bai Chun stood up, and an extremely perfect body appeared in front of Li Hong and Xia Zhi.

"Go quickly." Li Hong patted Bai Chun's shoulder with a small scar again.

Bai Chun nodded obediently and walked towards the bathroom, leaving behind a faint, refreshing fragrance.

Watching Bai Chun's back disappear, Li Hong seemed to still smell a hint of the beauty's fragrance at the tip of his nose.

Turning her head, she saw Xia Zhi staring at her own chest, as if wondering whose was bigger, hers or Bai Chun's.

"Bring some hot ginger soup and give it to her later." Li Hong glanced at Xia Zhi who was still thinking and said unhappily.

Li Hong did not leave. Xia Zhi was awakened from her thoughts by Li Hong's words. Her pretty face turned red, as if she was afraid that someone would discover her little thoughts just now.

So he hurriedly responded, picked up the wet clothes that Bai Chun had just taken off on the ground, lowered his head and hurried out.

After a while, Bai Chun came out of the bathroom wearing a white bathrobe. She looked at Li Hong, who was sitting cross-legged in her large and soft bed. He was supporting his chin with one hand as if he was thinking about something.

She sat down beside the bed and said with a hint of sadness in her tone: "Bai Chun knows I was wrong, but I feel very guilty. I failed your expectations and made you lose so much money."

Li Hong sat still on the bed, resting his chin on his hand, shaking his upper body and saying, "Do I care about that little bit of money? What I care about is the reputation of Taiyi City, and your current status in the hearts of Taiyi City, the Tang Dynasty, and merchants from all over the world. That cannot be measured with money."

Li Hong finally moved. He turned half his body while sitting on someone else's bed and said to the beautiful Bai Chun in a serious tone, "To be frank, your name Bai Chun is now much more valuable than the money we lost. Every word you say in Taiyi City will influence and control the decisions of half of the people on the Tang Dynasty's business road, and even determine the direction of the entire Tang Dynasty's economy. As long as you have a good reputation, the merchants of the Tang Dynasty will have absolute trust in you, and they will believe everything you say. But if you deceive them once, you will never get their full trust again. This is more important than anything else, don't you understand?"

Bai Chun nodded silently. Before, she thought that she was just the person in charge and a housekeeper in the Prince's Mansion. But after hearing Li Hong's words and her own thoughts and understanding.

At this moment, she completely understood why the prince was so angry: she knew that sometimes in the eyes of the prince, money was not as important as reputation, and this reputation could not be measured by money. Although the prince's decision this time would lose a lot of money, at least Taiyi City and her Bai Chun's reputation were still the prince's signboards, and they still had an unshakable position among businessmen.

Xia Zhi's knock on the door startled Bai Chun who was in deep thought, as well as someone who was lazily lying on someone else's bed.

Xia Zhi walked in slowly with a maid, holding a bowl of steaming medicine in her hand.

After watching the maid carefully place the medicine soup next to Bai Chun, Li Hong stood up and said, "Drink it and have a good sleep. Maybe you can avoid getting sick."

Bai Chun didn't look at the medicine soup at this time, but stared at **. He actually went to his bed without slippers! No wonder he stayed cross-legged all the time, and no wonder he looked so stiff when he turned around!

"Xia Zhi, run..." Li Hong jumped off Bai Chun's bed, leaving several big black footprints on the snow-white and soft quilt!
