Chapter 108: Such a Stunning Figure
“Host, please do not entertain such dangerous thoughts again, or your life may be at risk!” The system’s voice carried a hint of seriousness.
Chu Bing responded lightly, “Don’t worry, I cherish my life very much.”
Inside the room, Old Zhao rambled on at length, every word betraying his dissatisfaction with Li Mohan’s plan to take Chu Bing beyond the frontier.
From beginning to end, Li Mohan remained silent, until Old Zhao sensed the tense atmosphere and obediently fell silent. Only then did Li Mohan lift his gaze to meet Old Zhao’s.
Setting down his teacup, his tone calm and measured, he said, “Hongxiu is my lifesaver. If I say I’m taking her beyond the frontier, I will protect her safely. As for Father and matters of freedom, you need not worry.”
“How could this old servant not worry? The Lord has always favored the Third Young Master, and now you oppose him for a woman. Doesn’t this chill His Lordship’s heart?” Overcome by emotion, Old Zhao impulsively stood, forgetting his place.
Li Mohan paid no mind to such trivialities. Seeing Old Zhao’s stubbornness and inability to be persuaded, he frowned slightly. “If Father’s heart could be chilled over Hongxiu alone, then our father-son bond would be far too fragile.”
Old Zhao seemed about to argue further, but Li Mohan waved his hand. “You needn’t say more. Once I decide on something, I do not go back on it. In the future, you need not be too harsh on Hongxiu. Whether she is good or not, I know in my heart.”
“Young Master!” Old Zhao’s voice trembled with understanding.
Li Mohan showed no intention of continuing the conversation and waved his hand lightly, clearly signaling to see him off.
Helpless, Old Zhao bowed his head and withdrew.
On the rooftop, Chu Bing witnessed every word exchanged between master and servant, her eyes gradually moistening.
No one had ever defended her like this before. In this strange ancient world, only Li Mohan made Chu Bing feel a true sense of trust.
The lights in the room went out, plunging the space into darkness—Li Mohan was preparing to rest.
Chu Bing instantly teleported inside. Standing by the bed, she saw Li Mohan’s eyes snap open—he had been about to close them.
“Who’s there?”
A sharp force shot from his fingertips toward Chu Bing.
She dodged and lowered her voice, “It’s me, Young Master.”
Li Mohan sat up on the bed. “So late, what business do you have?”
Bathed in moonlight, Chu Bing could see the confusion on Li Mohan’s face. She deliberately broke into a bright smile and pounced toward him. “Young Master, I just heard what you and Uncle Zhao were talking about.”
Her arms wrapped tightly around him, her eyes shining as if they could see no one but this man.
Li Mohan was stunned for a moment before reacting. He reached out to push Chu Bing away, but his hand recoiled before touching her.
His entire body stiffened like stone, not daring to move.
Chu Bing held him close, surrounded by his scent, sighing contentedly, “Young Master, no one has ever been so kind to me before. Thank you.”
Her voice was warm and sincere, without a trace of shyness, causing Li Mohan’s ears to flush.
He opened his mouth, voice hoarse, “Hongxiu, you should leave now.”
“I won’t!” Chu Bing refused to let go.
Her burning gaze locked onto Li Mohan, and sure enough, she caught sight of his blush!
Though Li Mohan often wore a stern face, he was the purest of the three brothers.
This discovery excited Chu Bing even more. Feeling her intense stare, Li Mohan’s heart raced; he turned his head away. “A young lady should not casually climb onto a man’s bed. It’s improper. Go back now!”
“Improper?” Chu Bing’s eyes flickered mischievously. She deliberately released him and fell backward with a playful “Ah!”
Li Yuxi’s body reacted before his mind did. Without hesitation, he reached out and firmly caught Chu Bing.
Pulled into his embrace, Chu Bing smiled triumphantly. “Young Master, you’re the one who pulled me back. You brought me onto your bed! You must take responsibility.”
Held within the warmth of his arms, Li Mohan felt the heat rising within him. His mind was a chaotic mess, unable to clearly hear what Chu Bing was saying, his eyes fixed on her lips as they moved, emotions swirling fiercely.
Chu Bing had yet to notice Li Mohan’s change. She trusted him deeply. Having survived so much together, their bond was like life and death. She believed that if anything happened, Li Mohan would go to any lengths to save her.
She stroked Li Mohan’s waist and sighed, “Young Master, your figure is truly impressive.”
Sitting in his lap was already unbearable for Li Mohan, yet she was bold enough to roam her hands over him!
Li Mohan felt as if her little hands were setting his body aflame, nearly burning away all his reason.
In a near-disgraceful manner, he pushed Chu Bing off and quickly jumped from the bed, voice stiff, “Go back now!”
He could hear a hint of shyness and annoyance in his own voice.
Having just vented her gratitude by hugging him, Chu Bing now felt very close to Li Mohan. Without hesitation, she jumped down from the bed, smiling brightly. “Alright, it’s late—I’ll go to sleep too. Young Master, sweet dreams.”
Turning toward the door, she stopped midway and glanced back, catching Li Mohan’s fixed gaze.
Caught off guard, Li Mohan quickly turned his head away. Chu Bing’s laughter echoed in the room, “Young Master, remember to dream of me!”
Li Mohan stared at the closed door, hand resting on his chest.
Chu Bing returned to her room feeling refreshed.
Indeed, the best way to improve one’s mood was to tease Li Mohan.
She closed the door and was about to lie down when she saw a strikingly handsome man on the bed.
He propped his head with one hand, playing with his hair with the other, his voice so seductive it sent a rush of blood through Chu Bing’s body.
“Bing’er… why aren’t you coming up?”
Chu Bing snapped back to reality, her expression changing abruptly as she bolted toward the door!
It was that scoundrel Li Yuxi. He really wouldn’t leave her alone!
Just as her hand reached the doorknob, Li Yuxi’s eyes shifted, his fingers curling slightly. Chu Bing felt something pull her back as she stumbled and fell straight onto the bed—into his arms!
“Bing’er, you’re really naughty, trying to run off the moment you see me.”
Li Mohan’s hand gently stroked Chu Bing’s cheek, his gaze cold, yet deep within lay an unspoken tenderness no one else had ever seen.
Chu Bing held her breath, her face pale with fright. “Big Brother! Why do you always have to make things difficult for me?”
She had just come to Li Mohan’s side, and yet this pervert had followed her here!
