What Bad Intentions can the Yandere Crown Prince have?-Chapter 273 - 269: A Kiss

This little girl looks like she might only be around ten years old.

Her small, round face, and round eyes give her a somewhat innocent and charming look.

She is quite a pretty child.

But this child...

Why does she seem more and more familiar the more I look at her?

"Don’t you think she looks a bit familiar?" Qin Rong asked her as well.

Tang Xiaobai nodded and asked, "Have we met her somewhere before?"

Qin Rong could not help but laugh, "Haven’t you realized who she looks like yet?"

Tang Xiaobai was about to take another look when Li Mu arrived.

He seemed to be in a bit of a hurry; before he even came to a stop, he frowned and spoke, "Didn’t I tell you to take her to my place?"

His words were directed at Qin Rong, and his brow was furrowed in a cold anger that was quite unfriendly.

Qin Rong was naturally unafraid, letting out a light laugh as she was about to speak, but was cut off by the usually soft-natured Miss Tang: "Why take her to your place?"

As soon as she spoke, there was an unexpected hostility in her voice.

Qin Rong was stunned and turned to look at Tang Xiaobai.

She saw her expression was cold and indifferent, with a hint of arrogance in her charming, round eyes.

This girl rarely throws tantrums like this...

Qin Rong became interested immediately, happily closing her mouth, ready to watch the show.

But Li Mu did not give her this chance.

He was momentarily stunned, said nothing, and directly went forward to drag Tang Xiaobai away with him.

Qin Rong wanted to step in to stop him, but was pushed back by the palm wind from Mo Huan.

"Why do you always meddle in the affairs of our Young Master and the Second Miss?" Mo Huan looked at her inexplicably, reminding her as he left, "Keep an eye on this little girl!" meaning the small girl from the Turkic Camp.

Qin Rong looked at the girl, and upon meeting her eyes, her heart unexpectedly softened. She smiled at her and said, "Are you hungry? Let me take you to get something to eat!"

...

Tang Xiaobai was pulled into Li Mu’s tent.

She was furious inside when she shook off Li Mu’s hand.

But when she looked up and saw him smiling at her, her anger dissipated instantly.

"What are you smiling at?" she asked in a deliberately harsh voice.

Her voice was naturally soft, so even when she tried to sound harsh, Li Mu found it irresistibly adorable.

"Ah Jiao still owes me three gifts," he said with a childlike smile, "Can I have one now?"

Tang Xiaobai turned scarlet red in an instant.

It’s broad daylight, and there’s nowhere to hide her blushing face.

Tang Xiaobai rubbed her face in embarrassment, glaring at him fiercely, "No! You can’t ask for it yourself, I’ll decide what to give!"

He’s getting spoiled enough to bully her now!

Li Mu, however, was in an extremely good mood, "What will Ah Jiao give me?"

Tang Xiaobai huffed lightly, "I haven’t decided yet."

"Then take your time, no rush," he said kindly.

Clearly last night he insisted that after midnight wouldn’t do, yet now, for some reason, he had become so agreeable.

Tang Xiaobai was still mindful of her embarrassing actions last night and didn’t dare to delve deeper, so she seized the chance to change the subject, asking coldly, "Why did you bring that little girl along?"

Originally, she didn’t need to worry about a ten-year-old girl like she did with Chen Xiaolian.

But bizarrely, that little girl bore a fifty or sixty percent resemblance to her!

The moment Tang Xiaobai realized this, she had already conjured many novel plots she had read before.

And upon hearing that Young Master wanted to keep the person by his side, she couldn’t take it anymore.

She is right here, why play this substitute game?

And a ten-year-old substitute at that, isn’t it disgusting?

"I’m not planning to keep her by my side, I just found her appearance unusual and wanted to question her personally," Li Mu explained.

Tang Xiaobai’s expression softened, but her tone was still slightly cold, "I want to be present during the questioning!"

"Alright," he said with a smile.

Tang Xiaobai blushed again as he smiled, "Be serious with me!" Why smile so meaningfully?

However, the more she scolded him, the happier Li Mu’s smile became.

His eyes curved with laughter, a rare display of youthful sunshine radiating from him.

This was the look Tang Xiaobai most wanted to see, but definitely not at the cost of her own dignity.

She stood on tiptoe, raised her hands, and pressed them on his face, "Stop laughing!"

His face was held in place, yet his eyes continued to gleam with laughter.

When he wasn’t smiling, he was a cold and aristocratic young man, but when he smiled, he was like a tame and luscious puppy, every sharp edge softened, leaving her with no trace of temper.

"Stop laughing," Tang Xiaobai said weakly.

He "hmm"-ed and, indeed, stopped smiling, lowering his head to gaze at her.

Tang Xiaobai originally had to stand on her tiptoes and stretch her arms to press his face, but now as he lowered his head, it was as if he was offering his face to her, presenting it into her hands.

She unconsciously applied less pressure, more like she was cupping his face.

"Can I have Ah Jiao’s gift now?" he asked softly.

It was the first time Tang Xiaobai heard him speak in such a gentle voice.

He used to soften his voice when speaking to her, but it always carried a hint of coquettishness, making her feel amused or entertained.

But now, his dark eyes felt like a fallen starry river, slowly rotating, gentle and dazzling, leading one into bewilderment.

Tang Xiaobai usually had little resistance to tenderness, and now was no different.

Being looked at by him like this, she felt as if her whole body turned to mush, both inside and out.

She struggled for a long time but couldn’t escape.

After a few attempts to speak, she finally said, "You...close your eyes..."

Li Mu’s heart skipped a beat at once, catching a glimpse of retreat in her eyes, he hurriedly closed his eyes, lowering his face even more to accommodate her.

With his eyes closed, his sense of touch became even clearer.

He felt her hand move slightly on his face, gently brushing across his face and mask, trembling lightly as if she was nervous.

He couldn’t help but feel nervous as well, his fingertips quivered slightly, not knowing where to place his hands.

Should he hold her arms or shoulders?

Just as he was about to raise his hand, he suddenly sensed her breath, warm with a hint of milky scent, brushing past his nostrils.

She got a bit closer, then retreated slightly.

Like a newborn cub cautiously approaching a human for the first time.

Li Mu dared not move hastily, fearing any slight movement might scare his little cub away, so he let his hands stay frozen in mid-air, holding his breath, awaiting her approach.

She paused within inches, seemingly hesitating.

Perhaps hesitated for a brief moment, or maybe for a long time.

Li Mu gradually clenched his fists, admonishing himself to be patient.

But patience can always be exhausted.

When her hand suddenly withdrew from his face, Li Mu felt his patience run out.

Every hunter must learn to wait patiently.

But more importantly, they must know when to take the initiative.

He held her shoulders, just as he was about to open his eyes, when suddenly, he felt her draw closer.

Warm and sweet scent brushed past his jaw, brushed past his lips.

Softly, gently, like the touch of clouds.

Planted on his face.

"One down!"

Tang Xiaobai touched him lightly for just a moment then withdrew, holding up her index finger, smiling sweetly at the stunned boy, indicating "one."
