Chapter 81: Ningshuang, Why Don’t You Pretend to Be Your Master?
Here, Mingyan came to Yue Ningshuang’s courtyard. He stood at the door but paused.
Mingyan knew that Yue Ningshuang was here, but he didn’t know how to face her…
Of course, Mingyan had no intention of confronting Yue Ningshuang, because now was not a good opportunity. To have a showdown now would only make Ning Mengru feel embarrassed.
And after the embarrassment, Ning Mengru would probably not be willing to see Mingyan again, right?
After all, she was clearly the Queen Mother of the West, but she had disguised herself with another identity and had come to him… in short, this experience, the persona of “Yue Ningshuang” could have, no problem at all, but Ning Mengru could not.
Because Yue Ningshuang was just a Yaochi disciple, while Ning Mengru was the Queen Mother of the West, and also Mingyan’s elder. She also knew that her own disciple, Ning Feixuan, liked Mingyan. In this situation, Ning Mengru’s and Mingyan’s relationship, no matter how one looked at it, could not be brought to light.
But how could Mingyan let Ning Mengru just leave like this?
He had to keep Yue Ningshuang, and he had to make her, with her identity as Ning Mengru, approve of this relationship.
“Why don’t you come in?”
Yue Ningshuang, inside, had long since felt Mingyan’s presence, but she found that he had been standing at the door all along. So she took the initiative to come and open the door, looking at him with a grin.
Mingyan looked at Yue Ningshuang, the corners of his lips showing a smile. He very naturally wrapped his arm around her slender waist. “I was just thinking about some things…”
“What were you thinking about?” Yue Ningshuang looked at Mingyan, her smile lively and agile. Before, Mingyan hadn’t felt anything strange, but since he had learned that she was Ning Mengru, that she was Aunt Ning, he realized that what she was showing now could not be connected with the identity of Ning Mengru at all…
What was Mingyan’s impression of Ning Mengru?
Elegant, generous, mature, dignified, with a gentle temperament like a mother of the world. She was like a respected elder who could only be viewed from a distance and not be toyed with. She and the Yue Ningshuang in front of him were two complete extremes.
It wasn’t that Mingyan disliked Yue Ningshuang. Mingyan also liked Yue Ningshuang very much. He had no resistance to a woman like her. At least, the things she showed were things Mingyan couldn’t resist.
Even if it was an act…
Between Ning Mengru and Yue Ningshuang, besides the fact that they were both from Yaochi and were master and disciple, there were no other similarities to be seen.
Of course, it was very likely that Yue Ningshuang was deliberately acting this way to show she was different from Ning Mengru.
But was that really the case?
How much of her feelings for Mingyan were real?
Mingyan did not think that all of Yue Ningshuang’s feelings for him were a disguise. Even if they were at the beginning, she probably couldn’t tell herself if the fake play had become real, right?
“I just chatted with Feixuan. I finally decided to give her another chance,” Mingyan said.
“Is that so…” Yue Ningshuang was a little surprised, then she chuckled. “Isn’t this a good thing? Believe me, Feixuan will definitely not miss the chance this time!”
This also made Yue Ningshuang a little excited; her own stupid disciple and Mingyan had finally made some progress. But after the excitement, Yue Ningshuang was stunned for a moment.
Because she realized that if Mingyan and Ning Feixuan really got together, then the identity of “Yue Ningshuang” would no longer be necessary. She could let Wang Qingchu help, and together they could make the “Yue Ningshuang” identity disappear.
Before, she had always been looking forward to the arrival of this day. But now that it was really coming, Yue Ningshuang’s heart felt an indescribable subtlety…
Yue Ningshuang, is this identity really going to disappear just like that?
Will there be no chance in the future to show my true heart so unscrupulously?
I have to go back to being Ning Mengru, to go back to that Ning Mengru who has to restrain herself in all aspects…
Am I going to leave… Mingyan?
After returning to the identity of Ning Mengru, the relationship between me and Mingyan will naturally be gone, right?
Does Ning Mengru… really hope for this?
Mingyan couldn’t read minds, but he saw Yue Ningshuang looking a little dazed, her expression a little complicated. He could roughly guess what Yue Ningshuang was thinking…
Because Wang Qingchu had already told him that the identity of “Yue Ningshuang” was just a way for Ning Mengru to help Ning Feixuan. After Mingyan and Ning Feixuan got together, “Yue Ningshuang” would disappear.
So Mingyan had deliberately told Yue Ningshuang that there was progress between himself and Ning Feixuan, in order to observe her performance.
And Yue Ningshuang’s performance made Mingyan’s heart somewhat relieved. With her complicated expression, she must have been thinking about her own future after he and Ning Feixuan really got together.
If Yue Ningshuang had no feelings for Mingyan at all, how could she show such an expression at this moment?
“What’s wrong? You say it’s a good thing, but you don’t look very happy. Are you jealous?” Mingyan held Yue Ningshuang, and they went to the pavilion to sit down. He held her, letting her sit on his lap.
Before, Mingyan didn’t think there was anything wrong with this. But now that he knew that this woman was actually the Queen Mother of the West, Ning Mengru, holding her in his arms always felt a little thrilling.
“How could I… I’m not jealous. I said, I am very supportive of you and Feixuan being together,” Yue Ningshuang came back to her senses and said coquettishly. “I also said in the dream that I can accept other women. Have you forgotten?”
“Then why are you not happy?”
“I’m not unhappy…” Yue Ningshuang pursed her lips and smiled. “I was just sighing a little. After all, Feixuan and your relationship was ahead of ours, but now, she needs my help for it to progress…”
“Are you really not jealous?”
“Really!” Yue Ningshuang nodded vigorously.
“Then what if it’s not just Feixuan?” Mingyan asked with a smile.
“Not just Feixuan? Are you referring to Huang Feiyan? And your senior sister?” Yue Ningshuang asked in return. “Didn’t I already say so? I can accept them.”
Anyway, Yue Ningshuang is going to disappear. It doesn’t matter what she says.
“Then what if… it’s your and Feixuan’s master?” Mingyan leaned close to Yue Ningshuang’s ear and said softly.
Yue Ningshuang’s heart skipped a beat. “Huh…? You, you wouldn’t be interested in my… my master, would you?”
“If it’s your master, will you be jealous?” Mingyan asked with a smile.
“I… of course I won’t be jealous… but I don’t think it’s possible between you and my master…” Yue Ningshuang said with a little guilt.
“How do you know?”
Because I am Ning Mengru… Ning Mengru was a little ashamed and angry in her heart. She hadn’t expected this guy to have that kind of thought about her real identity. This little lecher!
“You don’t really have any thoughts about my master, do you…?”
“Can’t I?” Mingyan said with a smile. You can disguise yourself as Yue Ningshuang to deceive my feelings, so can’t I say in front of you that I like Ning Mengru?
“…” Yue Ningshuang bit her cherry lips. “Of course you can…”
Just you wait to be dealt with by me with my identity as Ning Mengru…
“Hey… Ningshuang, will you play a game with me?”
“…What game?”
“Why don’t you pretend to be your master…” Mingyan leaned close to Yue Ningshuang’s ear and said softly.
After hearing this, Yue Ningshuang’s face turned bright red. “You… what are you talking about… how can you blaspheme my master like this…?”
