Chapter 152 - A ‘Bitter’ Plan

Luo Qianqian wasn’t a big fan of Murong Yun’s brooding look, ‘This is the same look when you turned away from me on the street, Mr. Brood. Your are a fool, aren’t you? A fool who only hurts himself! With your martial arts ability, I would have had a few fights to vent anger.’

“Murong Yun, there are so many bad guys in the world, why not capture some and torture tham instead of hurting yourself? Think about it, it’s win-win, you could vent your anger and on the other hand, you would create a better living environment for people.”

What Luo Qianqian failed to foresee was Murong Yun actually carried it out one day, he raked a haunt of villains after he had a row with Luo Qianqian someday. That part of the story would be recounted in the following chapters.

“You just wait here patiently, I will decoct some medicinal herbs for you.” as mad as she was, she still didn’t have the heart to leave Murong Yun’s wound unattended, but she came up with a ‘bitter’ plan.

Luo Qianqian walked out of the door only to find Su Liancheng eavesdropping under the window.

“Hi, it looks like you are leisure, Su Liancheng.” Luo Qianqian said in a sassy way.

Su Liancheng was caught red-handed, he permitted himself a wry smile, “What are the odds? Hehe, I ran into you here.”

‘What lame excuse! Unprofessional eavesdropper!’

Well, Luo Qianqian didn’t argue with Su Liancheng, as a matter of fact, she could really use Su Liancheng’s help at the moment.

She figured she need to teach Murong Yun a lesson, she didn’t like the way that Murong Yun tended to hurt himself after a row had broken out between them.

Misunderstandings would occur, that was inevitable. Murong Yun wounded his hand this day, what would he do to himself next time? No one could guarantee this was their last row.

“Su Liancheng, cut your nonsense, you and Doctor Lin are such close friends, yeah? I’m sure you have some knowledge about herbal medicine.”

Luo Qianqian met Murong Yun for the first time in Doctor Lin’s shop, and she remembered Doctor Lin asked Su Liancheng to mind his shop while he was not in the capital city, so she was sure Su Liancheng must have some basic understanding about eavesdropper.

“Yeah, not too bad I will say. But I need to make it clear now, no way will I enter that room and treat Brother Eighth! I’d rather die!” Su Liancheng warned Luo Qianqian in advance.

“Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to treat him. Do you remember there was a bitter medicine last time in my prescription? I believe it’s called coptis. I need you to add some coptis in Murong Yun’s medicine pot.”

Luo Qianqian walked back into Murong Yun’s room after a while with a bowl of medicine in hand.

She could smell the pungent scent of the herbal medicine in her hand from afar, but Murong Yun didn’t even frown when Luo Qianqian entered the room.

Luo Qianqian exclaimed in her heart, ‘Some endurance you’ve got! I can smell this pungent scent from one hundred meters away, and now there’s not a frown on your face when it’s on your table!’

“Time to take your decoction.” Luo Qianqian put the bowl near Murong Yun’s lips, but Murong Yun didn’t open his mouth.

Luo Qianqian grimaced on just smelling the scent.

“Come on now, be my guest.” Luo Qianqian pushed the bowl closer to Murong Yun’s lips.

“I’m… I’m fine.”

Luo Qianqian was amused by Murong Yun’s reaction, “What are you doing? I used the same prescription when I was wounded, it worked like a charm.”

“Just a minor wound on my hand, I’m really fine.” Murong Yun turned his face away unnaturally.

Luo Qianqian was having so much fun, she knew Murong Yun didn’t like the smell either.

“But you have to, it helps you to heal faster.” Luo Qianqian continued.

“Wait, you don’t listen to me any more? Are you seeing someone else?” Luo Qianqian pretended she was mad because she recalled a joke once she had read, boys needed to coax girls who were mad, but for boys for who mad, all the girls needed to do was to throw a bigger tantrum.

It worked, Murong Yun looked at Luo Qianqian with disbelief, ‘No, I’m not!’

And Murong Yun had to take the medicine like he was told just to appease Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian took a glimpse at the empty bowl with satisfaction, “Great, that will learn it! Let’s see whether you dare to harm yourself next time.”

Hearing that, Murong Yun knew he was tricked, he rose to his feet and walked closer to Luo Qianqian.

“What are you doing?” Luo Qianqian asked cautiously.

‘Why is he acting like this again? Isn’t he impotent?’ thought Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian was lucky Murong Yun wasn’t about to read her mind, otherwise Murong Yun would prove him wrong that night.

Murong Yun didn’t answer Luo Qianqian.

The next second Luo Qianqian found they were locked in a passionate kiss the next second, Luo Qianqian could taste the bitter medicine in Murong Yun’s mouth.

Murong Yun kissed her even more feverishly before Luo Qianqian could push him away, then he stroked Luo Qianqian’s hair, “You are welcome, I know you like the bitter taste of the medicine, don’t you?”

‘Why would I have such a bizarre preference!’

Luo Qianqian now recalled what Su Liancheng had warned her once, ‘Do not mess with Murong Yun, Murong Yun holds a grudge and he tends to seek revenge on the spot! Be it his good looks or his fortune, he would resort to extreme measures to seek revenge.’

Luo Qianqian gulped down a pot of tea before she felt better, ‘it is so bitter!’

“Are you feeling better now? All calm and mollified?” Luo Qianqian put down the pot, “What a fool you are! You have run away before I have the chance to explain, it’s true! Anyways, I won’t use you as wager any more, please forgive me, will you?”

Murong Yun hid his right hand behind his back, “Qianqian… …”

“All right, it’s getting really late, you need to rest.” with that she walked him to his bed, “Plus, I have a solid reason to take the bet. Someone disguised himself as an old man and tried to hurt me, I couldn’t find him on my own, so I took the bet on the condition that Yue Qiqi would ask her father to find that guy.”
