ATBLM [QT] Chapter 150.2

In the evening, Liu’s family entertained Ling Yuan. After Jiang Rui had dinner, she passed the time in the courtyard alone. When the moon was rising very high, Ling Yuan came back. It was Liu Xingfeng who sent him back.

There was some apology on his face: “My father admires Brother Ling very much and drank a few more drinks with him. Sanniang, there are people keeping vigil outside the courtyard at night. If Brother Ling needs anything, just ask them to do it.”

“Brother Liu, don’t worry, I’m not drunk.” Ling Yuan said. His face did not look drunk, but his eyes were a little brighter than usual, and he smelled of alcohol. His expression was still gentle when he spoke, and his thoughts seemed clear.

Liu Xingfeng felt relieved when he saw this and said a few more words before leaving.

The servant from the Liu Mansion sent Ling Yuan into the house and brought him hot water to wash up, but he was also sent out soon.  He did the same when he was in Mingshan Village. He did not need anyone to serve him closely.

Jiang Rui stood in the courtyard and looked around, but she did not enter Ling Yuan’s room.

Since she came out of the cliff, because Ling Yuan always kept her by his side, others thought she had become his personal maid, and some even thought that she had been taken over by Ling Yuan. But in fact, in Jiang Rui’s view, the current relationship between the two of them was somewhat ambiguous.

Ling Yuan said that he wanted her to stay with him, but it was really just by his side. She had also tried before whether she wanted to serve him as a maid, but he said she didn’t have to do this.

So, she really didn’t do anything. Although she lived in the same courtyard, she wouldn’t even enter his room without Ling Yuan’s approval.

She was thinking about what had happened recently, Ling Yuan’s words and deeds, and his seemingly pleasant touch in the afternoon, and her thoughts about him gradually became clearer.

She guessed that he wanted her to be obedient, with no betrayal, and under his control.

In the room, Ling Yuan washed his face by himself and then sat in the hall, not knowing where he was looking.

Jiang Rui could tell that he was indeed a little drunk. Considering his cautious temperament, he would get drunk at Liu’s house, most likely to cope with Martial Arts Alliance Leader Liu’s actions. And when no one was around, he should wake himself up.

She guessed right, Ling Yuan was indeed doing exercises and was about to push out the alcohol in his body, but when he saw Jiang Rui probing in the yard, he broke the internal force again.

Her guess was correct.

Ling Yuan was indeed practicing his martial arts, preparing to force out the drunkenness in his body. However, when he saw Jiang Rui poking her head in the yard, he dispersed the internal energy again.

Now there were only him and the obedient little cook in the yard. He had already checked it out and there was no one else, so he suddenly had an idea and wanted to see how obedient the little cook would be.

If he were completely sober at this moment, he would obviously not do such a thing, but the drunkenness made the toxins in his meridians ready to move, and the depressed side of him couldn’t help but want to show up.

He beckoned to Jiang Rui.

Jiang Rui put her thoughts away and walked over quickly, “What orders does the Owner have? Do you want to ask me to make hangover soup?”

Ling Yuan smiled and said, “No need.” He stretched out his hand to Jiang Rui, palm facing up.

Jiang Rui looked at the hand with confusion and looked at him again, but Ling Yuan didn’t speak, so she hesitated for a while and put her hand up tentatively.

Ling Yuan slowly closed his palms, held her wrist, and circled it. Then, he shook his head and said: “Too thin.”

He motioned Jiang Rui to sit next to him and then looked directly into her eyes.

She was a little confused at first, but soon, she quickly became shy and didn’t dare to look at him.

Ling Yuan smiled, and a small amount of the poison spread to his throat, so he asked in a hoarse voice: “Are you afraid?”

Jiang Rui was startled, but because of his voice, she said nervously: “What’s wrong with the Owner’s throat? Did you eat something irritating?”

Ling Yuan didn’t answer and asked again: “Are you afraid?”

“What am I afraid of?” She asked uncertainty.

He fixedly looked at her for a while, smiled, and shook his head. Then, he reached out to touch her earlobes, cheeks, and hair as if he was touching a gift that suited his own liking.

Jiang Rui only lowered her head slightly.

The hand reached to her chin again, hooked it up, and asked again: “Will you always be so obedient?” Compared with just now, his voice was a little weirder.

The part of him who was still sober knew that the toxins were spreading faster and wider in the body. But he didn’t see fear in the eyes of the little cook, only doubts and worries.

“What’s wrong, Owner? Do you want to ask the doctor to take a look?”

Ling Yuan heard himself laughing. At this time, even his laughter was unpleasant, “It’s okay, I’ll be fine tomorrow. Are you afraid of me looking like this?”

He saw the little cook shaking her head without hesitation, “I’m not afraid.”

“Be good.” He said, touching her face.
