A Gentleman's Defense

【Su Qianmo had always maintained an aloof and elegant image in public, but now she had a shy and tender expression that made me feel great pity for her.】

【Damn it! Seeing Su Qianmo like this, how could any man resist?!】

Hearing these words, Su Qianmo's delicate body quivered slightly. She bit her lips and stole a glance at Gu Chenan.

But Gu Chenan firmly shook his head the next second.

【No, absolutely not. I must not do anything inappropriate with Su Qianmo.】

【If we did anything here, then the marriage would be set in stone!】

Huh?

Gu Chenan's inner voice rang out again.

Su Qianmo was stunned.

As long as something happened here, then the marriage would be finalized?!

She was overjoyed.

Of course, why didn't I think of that sooner?!

In an instant, the shyness in Su Qianmo's eyes greatly diminished, replaced by a cunningness resembling that of a fox.

"Young Master Gu," she said in a low voice.

Gu Chenan, who was struggling with his thoughts, heard Su Qianmo's voice and quickly put on his role: "What's the matter, Qianmo?"

He had just finished speaking when he heard the sound of high heels falling under the dinner table.

Then, he felt a soft and warm sensation on his calves.

Gu Chenan looked down and was stunned.

He saw a small, black silk-clad foot slowly moving up from his ankle to his knee.

【???】

【Miss, don't do this. If your feet are itchy, go spray some foot powder. Don't rub them on me!】

【My mind is already chaotic. How could you make such a move?! 】

Hearing Gu Chenan's inner voice, Su Qianmo felt both angry and shy.

Who said my feet were itchy? Isn't my intention obvious?

"Qianmo, what are you doing?" Gu Chenan asked.

"I’ve been walking all day in high heels. My feet hurt," Su Qianmo pouted.

Damn!

Are you trying to get me to massage your feet?

No, you're obviously seducing me!

Although Gu Chenan knew Su Qianmo was acting deliberately, his character setting made it impossible for him to refuse.

He sighed helplessly under his breath and reached under the table to take Su Qianmo’s black silk-clad little feet into his hands.

“Let me rub them for you.”

“Okay.” Su Qianmo bashfully looked away, not daring to meet his eyes.

Touching Su Qianmo’s black silk-clad beautiful feet, waves of warm, smooth sensations passed through his fingers.

Although separated by the silk stockings, Gu Chenan could still feel the lubricated elastic skin on Su Qianmo’s beautiful feet.

Gu Chenan’s fingers gently exerted force.

Su Qianmo’s body visibly trembled, and her breathing grew heavier.

Gu Chenan held Su Qianmo’s feet and massaged them for about five minutes. During this time, Su Qianmo didn’t say a word.

She just kept facing the window, her face flushed to the extreme.

"Is it better now, Qianmo?" Gu Chenan asked.

"No, not yet," Su Qianmo murmured shyly.

【Damn! It's been five minutes and she says it's still not better. My fingers are sore from massaging!】

Left without a choice, Gu Chenan squeezed out a smile. "Then I’ll keep massaging until you’re satisfied."

【Son of a bitch, this vixen Su Qianmo obviously just wants me to go wild groping her sexy nylon-clad feet!】

【Humph! No way girl, don't be silly. 】

【My self-control is harder than iron!】

After massaging for another five minutes, Gu Chenan lifted his head again and asked, “Is it good now?”

Su Qianmo was embarrassed beyond words. She did intend to take things further with Gu Chenan through this behavior.

But from Gu Chenan’s inner voice, she realized that he had already seen through her scheme.

If she let Gu Chenan keep massaging, it would be too obvious.

Su Qianmo nodded lightly. “Yes, fine now.”

"Phew~"

Gu Chenan breathed a long sigh of relief and put Su Qianmo's beautiful black silk-clad feet down.

【Damn, my hands are exhausted.】

"Let's eat, Qianmo. The food will get cold soon," Gu Chenan urged.

"Okay." Su Qianmo gently dabbed her oily mouth with a paper napkin.

The blush on her face gradually faded, returning to her usual fair complexion.

From Gu Chenan’s thoughts, she realized that he had no intention of doing anything with her today at all.

This made her very puzzled. If he didn’t plan on doing anything, why invite her to a romantic restaurant like Mingyue Night?

With this doubt in mind, the two started eating.

......

About an hour later, the two had mostly finished their meals.

Gu Chenan pulled out a paper napkin and handed it to Su Qianmo, then wiped his own mouth.

"Want anything else to eat?" Gu Chenan asked.

"No need, Young Master Gu. I'm full," Su Qianmo said as she gently dabbed the oil from her lips.

"Good then." Gu Chenan stood up. "Let’s go."

"Huh?"

Su Qianmo was shocked.

Although she had already realized earlier that Gu Chenan had no intention of doing anything with her, she still found it unbelievable that he would finish eating and leave right away.

That would be normal behavior at other restaurants, but this was Mingyue Night!

Leaving immediately after eating at Mingyue Night was like cooking noodles but washing the bowl without eating them.

Su Qianmo didn’t want to leave, but as a young lady she didn’t know how to articulate it.

At this time, her gaze fell upon the round water bed next to them.

"Wow, a water bed!"

With an exaggerated acting style, Su Qianmo spread her hands and threw herself onto the water bed like an excited little girl.

Naturally, Gu Chenan's eyes drifted down to gaze at Su Qianmo’s plump bottom under her wrap skirt.

He immediately frowned slightly.

【Safety shorts?】

【Damn, what's with people nowadays, even gentlemen take precautions? 】

【The world is not what it used to be!】

Just then, Su Qianmo turned her head and beckoned to Gu Chenan. "Young Master Gu, the bed is so soft. Do you want to try it?"

Gu Chenan sucked in a breath of cold air.

What was the female lead doing?

She did that on purpose, right? It must have been on purpose!

【Try it? If I try I’ll die!】

【Just coming to Mingyue Night is extremely risky. If I dare get on that bed, I might as well jump from the third floor and restart this story line. At least then Dragon King would kill me quicker and put me out of my misery!】

"Qianmo, let's go. You still have work this afternoon, right?" Gu Chenan urged.

Unexpectedly, Su Qianmo's face turned red and she lightly shook her head. "Before coming, I already told Little Chen I won't be going back to the company this afternoon."

Damn!

Those two bastards Qin Feng and Wang Yang must have somehow persuaded Su Qianmo.

She even informed the company beforehand so that we could... all afternoon?!

Thinking of this, Gu Chenan's scalp tingled intensely.

【I've got to hurry up and get out of this creepy place!】

【If Qianmo suddenly says she wants to take a shower, I'll truly be doomed.】

With this thought, Gu Chenan pretended to check the time and sighed, "Oh no, how could I have forgotten something so important?"

"What's the matter, Young Master Gu?" Su Qianmo was ready to see what story he would make up next.

Gu Chenan clicked his tongue and shook his head with an expression of distress. "It's the seventh day memorial service for my second aunt's third nephew's wife's younger brother's father's uncle. I have to go burn paper offerings."

Su Qianmo: "?"

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
