Empress Running Away with the Ball
chapter-269

Chen Ning was still sleepy. She rubbed her eyes and said, “Why are you here? Have you finished fighting with Xiao Hei and you won’t fight anymore?”

“Un, we’re not fighting anymore.” Chu Shao Bai nodded and said, “Ning’er, does your hand still hurt? It was all my fault last night and I accidentally hurt you. You….Are you angry at me?”

His voice was very careful and his eyes were filled with guilt.

Because of a momentary impulse, he had ended up hurting her. Thinking about it, he really wanted to punch himself several times.

However, he had taken several of Mo Chuan’s fists and there were several places which were bruised. Touching them, he had to grit his teeth in pain.

Of course, he would not say a single word about this to her. In front of her, he would smile like the gentle spring breeze.

“I’m not mad…..” Chen Ning rolled her eyes.

Chu Shao Bai’s heart filled with joy before hearing the tone of her voice change, “…..As if!”

His eyebrows immediately fell down and dejectedly said, “Ning’er, I know that I’m wrong. I…..I also killed the crane in your yard.”

“Ha, ha, ha.” Chen Ning curled her lips into a faint smile while looking at him, “You also killed the fish in my pond.”

“That wasn’t just me, it was also that brat Hei…..” Chu Shao Bai immediately argued, but was stared down by Chen Ning. He slowly said, “I…..I’ll repay you.”

Chen Ning shook her head with a smile. Then she asked in a curious voice, “Did you win last night’s fight?”

Chu Shao Bai’s face turned a little red and after hesitating for a while, he said, “No…..there was no outcome. When it was close to daybreak, that brat Hei suddenly jumped out of the pond. He said he had something to do and we would fight another day before leaving.”

“Leaving?” Chen Ning’s eyes sparkled as she was filled with curiosity.

Mo Chuan’s whereabouts were always mysterious, disappearing without a trace. He would disappear sometimes, but he always appeared when she needed him.

But thinking of his assassin status, she stopped thinking about it.

“He’ll come back later.” She gave a gentle smile.

He hadn’t fulfilled his promise with her, so he would be back.

Chu Shao Bai’s expression changed and in a slightly angry voice, “Tell me, who is that brat Hei? Why did you go out to drink with him? Why was he carrying you home in the middle of the night?”

Chen Ning smiled at him and then with a laugh, she said, “Yi? Xiao Bai, your nose seems a little crooked. Was it hit by Xiao Hei or are you angry?”

Chu Shao Bai’s face turned red, “Nonsense! How is my nose crooked!”

Even though he said this, he couldn’t help looking at the bronze mirror on the table to the side.

“Ha, ha, I’m just teasing you!” Chen Ning bent forward in the bed, holding her stomach while laughing.

She couldn’t help pinching Chu Shao Bai’s cheek. Then she said with a smile, “Xiao Bai, you’re really cute!”

Chu Shao Bai could easily dodge it, but he did not move and allowed her to pinch him. He looked at her with a shy and angry gaze.

“You’re still not telling me who he is!”

“Xiao Hei?” Chen Ning forcefully pinched twice on his smooth face. Seeing her own red fingerprints on his white, jade face, she was filled with satisfaction as she released her hands. She said with a big smile, “He is my bodyguard. After fighting with him, how good do you think his martial arts are?”

“Humph, it isn’t all that great. It’s just so-so!” Mentioning Mo Chuan, Chu Shao Bai’s chest was filled with anger.
