Chapter 276 Am I beautiful?

Chapter 276 Am I beautiful?

Ning Jiewei slowly opened her eyes, and saw the gentle sunset casting a colorful light. Her pretty face was hazy, lonely but still handsome.

When she first woke up, she was still confused. As consciousness returned, she gradually saw the man in front of her. She was stunned and then shocked, then astonished and then panicked.

"Master Lin?!"

"Is this your bedroom? Why am I lying on your bed? What...what do you want to do to me?"

"Although my beauty is enough to make people all over the world drool, but you are engaged, how can you do this?"

Lin Mu's eyes were filled with surprise, and he stepped back in fear.

"Miss Ning Si misunderstood. I...I didn't do anything. I just gave you medicine."

Ning Jiewei bit her lower lip lightly, grabbed a corner of the quilt and slowly pulled it off, revealing her charming neck, as enchanting as rouge.

"You've already given me medication, and you're saying you didn't do anything?"

When she asked the question, her eyes were full of charm. Seeing that she was dressed neatly and nothing was wrong, she couldn't help but feel puzzled.

“When will the drug take effect?”

Lin Mu retreated all the way to the door, as if he was ready to escape at any time.

"The medicine has taken effect."

Ning Jiewei is as beautiful as a peach or plum, and her heart is filled with tenderness.

"Then why don't I feel anything?"

"Is your appearance not to my liking? Or are you too far away?"

"That's so bad, how could you do this to me?"

Lin Mu was filled with fear and explained hurriedly.

"No, no, Fourth Miss Ning really misunderstood. The medicine I was referring to is just a heart-clearing pill. You can wake up after taking it. It is definitely not a medicine for evil intentions."

Ning Jiewei's smile faded, she couldn't believe it.

"Qingxin Pills?"

"I was already unconscious, and you just wanted to wake me up?"

Lin Mu avoided her gaze a little and never dared to look her in the face.

"Yes."

Ning Jiewei raised half of her body, shook her shoulders, and started to act coquettishly.

"Why? Am I not beautiful enough?"

Lin Mu looked embarrassed, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"I... Miss Ning, please forgive me, I have a fiancée."

Ning Jiewei was confident and enjoyed herself, and continued to act coquettishly.

"What do you mean?"

"I just asked you a simple question, and you're delusional. I want to marry you? Why do you mention your fiancée? You just need to tell me the truth. Am I beautiful?"

Thinking that he shouldn't be too rude, Lin Mu reluctantly chose a nice word.

"generally."

Ning Jiewei refused to admit defeat. She got out of bed, put on her shoes, and walked closer.

"So, my beauty is not enough to move you? In fact, her delicate figure is more endearing than my appearance. Lord Lin, would you like to see her?"

Seeing this, Lin Mu turned around and ran away without caring about etiquette.

"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Ning Jiewei stopped him in time and threatened him.

"Don't leave. If you run away, I'll yell that you're molesting me, and even if you talk like a jerk, you won't be able to explain yourself."

Lin Mu had no choice but to stop, frowning deeply.

"Why is Fourth Miss Ning in such a dilemma?"

Ning Jiewei smiled leisurely.

"I just want to hear the truth. Am I beautiful?"

Lin Muman said what she wanted to hear reluctantly.

"Yeah, beautiful."

Ning Jiewei was overjoyed and continued to ask questions.

"Am I the most beautiful woman in Yuesheng?"

Lin Mu couldn't hide his disgust and nodded.

"Yes."

Ning Jiewei tilted her head, creating a delicate and moving picture with alluring beauty.

"If you don't have a fiancée, will you marry me?"

Lin Mu kept a safe distance and his tone was cold.

"I don't want to."

Ning Jiewei looked displeased.

"Why not? Think about it again."

Lin Mu still looked away, keeping people at a distance.

"I really don't want to."

Ning Jiewei curled her lips in disdain.

"Forget it, it happens that I don't want to either."

Lin Mu regained some courtesy.

"Thank you, Fourth Miss Ning, for your kindness."

Ning Jiewei then looked around, confused.

"Where is this?"

Lin Mu answered calmly.

"The guest room of Prince Chen's Mansion."

Ning Jiewei was stunned for a moment.

"Prince Chen's Mansion?!"

“Isn’t this the Lin Mansion?”

Lin Mu gave a brief explanation.

"I have been ordered to treat the patients with the epidemic in Prince Chen's Mansion. I will stay here temporarily until the matter is completed."

Ning Jiewei was a little dazed from sleep.

"Then why am I here?"

Lin Mu always paid attention to distance and observed etiquette carefully.

"Lord Su ordered someone to bring you in with a sedan chair, saying that you had accidentally come into contact with someone from Prince Chen's mansion and might be at risk of contracting an illness, so he asked me to examine you. Fourth Miss Ning, please rest assured that everything is fine. The drowsiness is caused by the drugs, so just wake up and it will not harm your body."

Ning Jiewei was confused and puzzled.

"I went to Tongshitai to look for Lord Xu, how come the transfer ended up in Lord Su's hands?"

After asking, she thought of Qiu Bi and became flustered.

"Oh no, Master Gao is still waiting for me in the mansion."

Lin Mu took the initiative to ask.

"Which Mr. Gao?"

Ning Jiewei replied.

"It's Qiu Bi."

Lin Mu was worried and couldn't help but show concern.

"Why is she waiting for you? What happened?"

Ning Jiewei's face was shy.

"Why do you suddenly care about me so much?"

Helplessly, Lin Mu subconsciously rolled his eyes.

"Fourth Miss Ning has misunderstood again. The person I care about is not you."

Ning Jiewei was immediately angry.

"You can't do anything except spoil the fun. You're just as mediocre as your elder brother. Why did Mr. Gao fall for you?"

Lin Mu nodded in response and continued to show concern.

"Miss Ning Si is right. I am indeed incompetent. May I ask what happened, Miss?"

Ning Jiewei recounted the whole story with dissatisfaction.

"That's it."

"I was clearly at the Tongshitai, why did I wake up and end up here? Could it be that Lord Xu personally handed me over to Lord Su?"

Hearing that Qiu Bi was safe, Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief and kindly asked her a question to clear up her confusion.

"It's not Lord Xu, it's your brother Lord Ning. Unfortunately, the young lady was tricked by him."

Ning Jiewei suddenly understood and finally figured it out.

"You mean, he first used drugs to make me sleep, and then went to the Tongshitai and pretended to take me back to the palace. Lord Xu saw that he was my brother, so he was not on guard. As a result, after he took me away, he sent me directly to Prince Chen's Palace?"

Lin Mu nodded slightly.

"Ah."

Ning Jiewei lowered her eyes in frustration.

"Then can I still leave?"

Lin Mu's face was calm and peaceful.

"With Lord Su here, even if I say that you are not infected and can leave, he will still be able to keep you here."

Ning Jiewei looked slightly worried.

"Where do I live then?"

Lin Mu waved his sleeves to signal.

"This room is prepared for you."

Ning Jiewei asked tenderly.

"Then where do you live?"

Lin Mu turned around and pointed.

"The third guest room across the street."

Ning Jiewei changed the subject without any warning.

"When will you marry her?"

Lin Mu was unable to react in time.

"what?"

Ning Jiewei repeated it.

"I'm asking, when will you marry Mr. Gao?"

Lin Mu was puzzled.

"What does this have to do with you falling into the trap?"

Ning Jiewei shook her head and smiled leisurely.

"It's not related. Since I can't get out, I'm just curious, when are you going to marry her?"

Lin Mu's face fell into helplessness.

“The time is not right yet.”

Ning Jiewei blinked.

"What time?"

Lin Mu didn't think about it and answered directly.

"This is about the political situation, it's a little complicated, maybe Fourth Miss Ning can't understand."

Ning Jiewei was furious again and insisted on getting serious.

"Who are you looking down on? I'm sure I understand!"

Lin Mu realized it later and changed his statement.

"I blame myself for being speechless. It's not that Fourth Miss Ning doesn't understand, but I'm not good at words and can't express myself."

Ning Jiewei expressed her dissatisfaction.

"Then tell me, can my elder brother understand?"

Knowing what she wanted to hear, Lin Mu said what she wanted.

"He is a mediocre person, not as good as Fourth Miss Ning, so naturally he can't understand."

Ning Jiewei shook her head, looking very proud.

"That's good. It doesn't matter if you don't want to listen. The affairs of the court are boring anyway."

Lin Mu twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you, Fourth Miss Ning, for your understanding."

"I still have something to do, so I'll take the first step."
