The Emperor Wants To Marry The Doctor

2514 Side Story 18: Midnight

Yan Qing flicked his arm away and strode forward.

Her footsteps were steady and windy, but her figure was quite thin, with a hint of coldness.

Yu Mo staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Lady Shi’er asked softly, “Right Divine General… are you alright?”

Yu Mo rubbed his face. “It’s fine! Let’s see how long this kid can be stubborn. Hmph!”

Lady Shi’er was confused. “What… do you mean?”

Could it be… the Left Divine General and Eighth Sister…

“But weren’t they… acting previously…” Lady Shi’er’s voice became softer and softer.

Yu Mo flicked her forehead lightly. “Stupid, have you never heard of a fake show being real?”

Lady Shi’er rubbed her head. It didn’t hurt, but Yu Mo’s words made her care even more.

Yu Mo smiled mysteriously. “Do you think he’s willing to support any girl?”

The Left Divine General’s reputation wasn’t for nothing.

Then, he suddenly thought of something and felt sour and heartbroken. “Damn it. I’ve been his brother for so many years, but he has never been gentle to me when I was injured!”

Tsk, all he cares about is the fairer sex!

Lady Shi’er looked at him silently. “Lord Right Divine General, do you really want the Left Divine General to be gentler to you?”

Yu Mo said, “…It was a slip of the tongue. Don’t mind it.”

What a joke! I still want to live a few more years!

“Oh.”

…

Xiao Ba finished washing up and sat in front of the bronze mirror to dry her hair.

The beauty in the mirror was charming, but her eyes were a little out of focus at this moment, as if she was deep in thought.

How could that be… Xiao Ba thought in a daze. When did I have designs on the Left Divine General?

Initially, she didn’t think so. But when she heard Lady Shiyi’s question in the courtyard today, that face actually appeared in her mind first.

Although she had never interacted with any man seriously and didn’t have much experience in relationships, she understood what this meant.

In the past, when many people expressed their feelings for her, they would say that they missed her all day and night and couldn’t sleep. Now, she…

Xiao Ba covered her face in frustration. I’m insane! There are so many men. Why do I have to like him?! If it were anyone else, it would’ve been fine—there would be no need to worry at all. I could just hook my fingers, and everything would go smoothly. But now?!

I just pulled him into a big show and turned around to clarify our relationship in front of everyone! What should I do now? Isn’t it too embarrassing to go back on my words?

No, that isn’t right. He was never mine.

At the thought of this, Xiao Ba’s anger intensified. It was unknown if she was angry at Yan Qing or herself.

Piak!

She slammed the hairbrush on the table and glared at herself in the mirror.

She felt that she really had poor taste. What was so good about that iceberg face?

He was old-fashioned, strict, and uninteresting.

She would probably suffocate to death if they stayed together for a night.

He was especially ruthless.

At the thought of this, she lowered her eyes and looked at her waist. What’s so good about a man who doesn’t know how to have tender, protective feelings for the fairer sex!?

She gritted her teeth, but she was even more frustrated. If that person had any thoughts about me, he would definitely not have hit me so hard that day.

She gritted her teeth even harder. “I’m so beautiful. I’ve been hanging around in front of him for so long, but—”

He didn’t even look at me!

She looked outside.

It was already late at night.

It was very quiet.

Apart from herself, there was no one else.

Ever since she drew the line between her and Yan Qing in public some time ago, she hadn’t seen him until today.

It had been so long!

Although the Fantasy Divine Palace was huge, as long as one wanted to see someone, they would definitely be able to.

But no!

She was injured and couldn’t go out. If Yan Qing really wanted to see her, how could he not have a chance?

This meant he didn’t want to see her.

However, she didn’t realize that even if anyone wanted to visit in the middle of the night, they wouldn’t choose this time.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

A cold breeze suddenly blew in from outside the window.

She stood up and walked over, planning to close the window. However, she didn’t pay attention and suddenly tripped over something!

She twisted her feet and fell to the side uncontrollably.

Crash—

The things on the dressing table were swept to the ground, and bottles and jars shattered.

And she herself fell hard to the ground.

“Si—” She gasped in pain. What kind of bad luck is this?!

She widened her eyes in anger and looked at the culprit—her shoe.

It was still her favorite pair of shoes with broken jade beads and colorful drawings.

She had just finished showering and only tidied up briefly before coming out. She hadn’t put on her shoes properly.

In the end, she accidentally sprained her ankle.

When she saw the shoes, she suddenly remembered that this was the one Yan Qing had leaned over to help her put on.

In the past, she didn’t think much of it. Now that she thought about it, she only felt even angrier.

Even this shoe had been touched by Yan Qing, and he had already betrayed her!

Xiao Ba grabbed her shoes angrily and threw them outside. However, she didn’t hear anything fall.

She frowned and looked out the window.

The door suddenly opened.

When she heard the sound, she was shocked and turned around.

When she looked, the thin and tall figure beside the door with a cold aura stunned her even more.

“Yan Qing?!”

Yan Qing couldn’t sleep.

He had been busy with some matters recently and was finally free today. He should’ve had a good rest, but he couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.

The words of Yu Mo and Lady Shi’er during the day kept echoing in his ears.

He simply got up again, and even he didn’t know when he arrived at this place.

Xiao Ba’s movement pulled him back to his senses. Only then did he realize what he was doing—he had silently arrived outside a girl’s door and stood there for a long time.

When he reacted, the tips of his ears seemed to be on fire in the deep night. This… is really inappropriate.

He knew that he should leave immediately, but he hesitated, unable to take that step.

Then, he heard a loud bang from the house.

That voice sounded wrong. He wanted to come in directly, but he felt that it was really inappropriate in the middle of the night.

But after waiting for a while, there was no movement inside. Only, she threw out a shoe.

Under the night sky, he could see the appearance of the shoe very clearly.

He was worried and finally decided to come over and take a look.

When he pushed the door open, he was stunned for a moment.

She must have just washed up—her hair was still half-dry. It scattered around her casually, making her look even more pitiful.

She was only wearing a thin and soft shirt, but even so, her hair fell over her body, easily outlining her exquisite and enchanting curves.

There were also strands of hair on her cheeks that were half-wet. Water droplets fell down and sank into her snow-white collar.

She was like a spirit that swam over from the sea in the middle of the night.

Xiao Ba looked at him and suddenly thought of her current appearance.

Her eyes flickered. Just as she was about to speak, she felt her vision darken.

Yan Qing threw a cloak and covered her tightly.
