Chapter 27: Further, Fool
"It seems that your family attracts the wind because of its size." Mu Xingci paused for a moment and spoke.
"Maybe!" Yun Wansheng said perfunctorily.
Mu Xingci looked at the woman with her eyes lowered, and couldn't help but feel pity for her life experience. He thought that she was such a young girl who had to wander around with her grandfather. If she had a cowardly personality, she would have been bullied a long time ago.
"Yun Wansheng, no wonder I felt your name was so profound when I first heard it. It turns out you're not the daughter of a poor family."
"My father gave me this name. He said girls should be gentle, generous, elegant and lively." Yun Wansheng said, thinking about the original owner.
"Your father's original intention was good, but unfortunately..." Mu Xingci stopped talking halfway, but Yun Wansheng understood what he meant.
"Does the Marquis like women who are reserved, polite, gentle and considerate?"
"How many men don't like an obedient and sensible woman? And how many men can stand someone like you who is always threatening to hang herself or bang her head against a sword?" Mu Xingci criticized her bad temper bluntly.
Yun Wansheng didn't like what she heard. She raised her eyes and glared at the domineering ancient man: "My Lord, besides the time when I hanged myself, I was not in the right. Can you blame me for the sword collision? If you hadn't forced me to do that, would I have done that?"
This dog marquis is so unreasonable. He doesn't think about the fact that he has gone too far, but wants to put all the blame on her.
Mu Xingci stared at the defiant woman with a stern look in his eyes. He grabbed her pointed chin with his fingers and said in a threatening tone, "Yun Wansheng, I advise you not to force me to punish you when I feel sorry for you."
Yun Wansheng wisely shut up after hearing this. His meaning was very clear. What happened today was over. If she continued to discuss who was right and who was wrong with him, she would be asking for trouble.
Seeing that his threat was successful and the woman stopped disobeying, Mu Xingci raised the corners of his lips in triumph.
At this time, the carriage stopped: "My lord, we have arrived at the villa." Qi Yi's voice came in.
"Get out of the car!" Mu Xingci said, and walked out first.
When Yun Wansheng walked out of the car, she saw Mu Xingci jumped off the car directly without the legendary walking stool.
Seeing him jump out of the car steadily, Yun Wansheng felt that the height was not dangerous, so she jumped down right after him.
But this jump caused her to stagger, causing her to fall forward involuntarily, right onto Mu Xingci who was halfway through turning around. She was afraid of falling, so she instinctively hugged the man.
Mu Xingci obviously didn't expect the woman to suddenly give him a big hug, which made his heart skip a beat.
After a moment of hesitation, he naturally straightened her up with both hands: "Don't jump out of the car again next time. If you sprain your ankle, you will be in trouble." It was easy to guess what happened.
"I jumped because it wasn't high. Aren't you okay?"
"How dare you, a weak woman, compare yourself with me?" Mu Xingci said with disdain and walked into the yard.
Yun Wansheng watched the arrogant man leave and followed him in.
As soon as they came back, Wang Ma hurried in to serve tea. Of course, since the Marquis was here, she only poured tea for him. She couldn't pour tea for the concubine without the master's permission. This was the rule of wealthy families.
Yun Wansheng remembered this time. She didn't sit down, nor did she pour herself tea. She just stood in front of the hall very obediently.
Mu Xingci took a sip of tea, then raised his eyes to look at the woman standing sideways. From the side, he could see that the woman's face was slightly gloomy, and it was obvious that she was very unhappy at the moment.
Thinking about how she used to be a lady from a wealthy family, but now she is a lowly mistress to someone else, and with all kinds of rules restricting her, it would be strange if she didn't feel suffocated.
"Come and sit! You've been singing for a long time, so drink some water." Mu Xingci said naturally, raised his hand, picked up the teapot, and poured her a cup.
Who would want to stand when they can sit? Yun Wansheng didn't act pretentiously: "Thank you, My Lord." After saying this insincerely, she walked a few steps to the table and sat next to the man, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Mu Xingci looked at her beautiful profile, his thin lips raised slightly: "After you finish drinking, sing a song for me."
When Yun Wansheng heard this, she looked at him naturally: "Don't you dislike me singing for you?"
"I thought your songs were just country tunes! There's no point listening to songs like that. Now I realize the songs you're talking about are so unique and beautiful."
"Have you heard the songs I sing?" Yun Wansheng looked at him in surprise.
"Yesterday, I went to the Fanhua Brothel. After listening to the song sung by the singer, I felt that the composer must be a very talented person, but I never thought that person would be you." Mu Xingci said truthfully.
Yun Wansheng chuckled softly, "You've looked down on me from the very beginning. If you hadn't discovered what happened today, you would always think I was a worthless woman."
"I admit that my prejudice against you is biased, but you can't blame me. First impression is very important. From the first time we met, you didn't leave a good impression on me. How could I think you were so outstanding?" Mu Xingci smiled sincerely.
Yun Wansheng listened to his often reasonable remarks, curled her lips, said nothing more to him, and drank her tea quietly.
Mu Xingci drank silently, and the two of them fell into silence for a while.
After finishing a cup of tea, Mu Xingci poured her another cup: "Can I sing now?"
"What song do you want to listen to?" Seeing that he was so attentive, Yun Wansheng didn't say anything.
"There are only two of us in this room, so naturally we want to listen to some songs about love. The more sentimental the better." Mu Xingci said with a teasing tone.
"Okay! Let me think about it." Yun Wansheng agreed cheerfully, then thought for a moment and said, "I'll sing you a song called 'Send My Lover'." As she spoke, she sang Zhang Xiaotang's DJ version of 'Send My Lover'. (Search for it yourself) I'm afraid of being accused of writing too much to fill the word count!
The cheerful and slightly humorous tune made Mu Xingci's lips curl up. He didn't expect that the song could be sung like this, sweet yet affectionate, humorous yet solemn. This was something he had never heard in his life.
After the woman finished singing, he reached out and pulled her into his arms, resting his forehead against hers: "Yun Wansheng, I've discovered that I like you a little."
"You like the song, right?" Yun Wansheng laughed mockingly and tried to push him away.
"No matter what, you have indeed changed my opinion of you. Should we take it a step further?" Mu Xingci restrained the woman who wanted to struggle and said ambiguously in her ear.
"Go further?" Yun Wansheng didn't understand what he meant for a moment.
"Fool!" Mu Xingci cursed softly in a doting tone, then hooked his hand around the back of the woman's head and kissed her with his thin lips.
Yun Wansheng finally understood what he meant by taking the next step. The masculine scent coming from her lips and the tingling sensation prevented her from pushing him away.
