Chapter 1289 - 403: Instant Fame and Taking Advantage_3
The Chang’an County Master, angered to embarrassment by the laughter, whipped out her soft whip and slapped it onto the table with a pop, the loud sound startling Mo Yan.
"Gentlemen use their words, not their hands. Don’t you start acting up!" Although Mo Yan knew she would not really whip him, the sight of the dark, thick whip still made him falter, but he couldn’t keep his mouth shut, "I’m saying, have you ever thought about changing, um, this habit of snapping the whip whenever something displeases you?"
Chang’an County Master glanced at Mo Yan and said righteously, "This princess has never used the whip on innocent people, why should I change?"
Mo Yan was speechless. Sure, you haven’t whipped innocent people, but you’ve scared plenty! These two had become somewhat more harmonious than before, but the peaceful days were always too short, and most of the time, they were still quick to fight. Even the Empress Dowager, who wished to arrange a marriage for them, was getting annoyed with their antics.
"That’s not the right way to look at it. How would you feel if someone brandished a big sword around you at every disagreement?"
"Brandish a sword in front of this princess? Who would dare!" Chang’an County Master’s eyebrows shot up, clearly missing the point, "Anyone that dares to do so is either tired of living or challenging me. Whatever the case, he won’t leave in one piece."
Mo Yan couldn’t help but smile wryly, thinking how Yan Junyu had encountered such an infatuated yet temperamental woman. He didn’t know whether to consider himself lucky or unlucky.
"See, you know that if someone waved a sword in front of you, it would be unpleasant, yet you frequently whip it out in front of Young Master Yan, and you’ve even hit him. Is Young Master Yan so deserving of a whipping that you should do it every day?" He’s not a masochist!
Chang’an County Master was startled, apparently, she had never considered this question before. Every time that man made her unhappy, she liked to take it out on him physically, seemingly the only way for him to take her seriously - anger and rage were of no concern to her.
