"The main story is complete"
[Mad, twisted general] vs. [Grudge-holding, headstrong young lady]
“I won’t kill her. I’ll punish her.”
The person he had protected for ten years had recklessly rushed to stop that man’s carriage. Mu Rong Qingyi couldn’t explain why he was angry, so he ordered Shangguan Baili thrown to the wolves.
It was the lightest punishment he could think of.
“What? He can touch you, but I can’t?”
Looking at Shangguan Baili’s flushed cheeks and bright red earlobes, Mu Rong Qingyi was inexplicably compelled to bite her soft, tender flesh.
“Get away from me!”
Shangguan Baili snarled furiously.
With both hands bandaged up like radishes, she couldn’t move. Otherwise, she would have put all her strength into beating him to death.
“Look, A Li. You only show me even the slightest emotion when I keep you locked up. It doesn’t matter if it’s a bad one. Go ahead and hate me. That’s better than forgetting me.”
Shangguan Baili had been the one to approach him first.
She’d pestered him to play, asked whether he wanted to drink Tusu wine, brought him snacks, and taken him to set off firecrackers.
Mu Rong Qingyi never expected a six-year-old girl to remember him, but how could she throw herself into another man’s arms?
“What a loving pair you make. Don’t worry, you’ll see him soon.”
Mu Rong Qingyi gripped Baili’s chin. “Take a good look. This is your dear master.”
