But it was only used to threaten someone like Bai Weiwei, who was wicked on a small scale but never wicked in a proper manner.

Qi Chimu was afraid he’d regret it.

He wouldn’t like her.

He couldn’t like her.

Even if he went insane, he could not like her.

He wanted to eradicate the Bai family, and she was one of the murderers who killed him in his previous life.

After eradicating the Bai family, he would keep her by his side.

It was merely to see her in pain but unable to die, tormented under her enemy’s body, powerless to struggle, that was all.

This was his plan for revenge.

When Bai Weiwei heard what he said, she froze, her face growing pale.

She clenched her teeth. “Reputation, what reputation. If you care about your damn reputation then go ba. Get off me.”

Qi Chimu wordlessly began to tear open her clothes.

Bai Weiwei struggled desperately, like a stubborn donkey.

“Qi Chimu, if you like your reputation so much then why don’t you sleep with it! What are you coming to me for?”

“Go away, go away! Don’t you feel uncomfortable being with a woman you don’t like?”

Uncomfortable.

Qi Chimu trembled, his gaze even a bit apprehensive, but it was hidden in his dark expression.

He repeated softly, “How could I be jealous, I can’t…”

【Ding! Male lead’s favorability: 70.】

After this event, Bai Weiwei began a cold war.

The cold war lasted for several days. She would mock and ridicule Qi Chimu, as well as ignore and disdain him.

Qi Chimu didn’t know whether or not it was guilt.

But he didn’t dare to press too hard.

Their positions3 seemed to be reversed.

The system finished kneading the instant noodles before it finally remembered that it had a host.

“What’s wrong? Why are you still acting hostile?”

Bai Weiwei leisurely painted her nails. “Isn’t it just teaching Qi Chimu the three obediences and four virtues2 he should have as a husband? I don’t lash out, I don’t protest. Does he understand how hard it is for me to be lively and sweet?”

Men. Only when you’re cold do they know how to love.

The system went silent.

‘Lively and sweet.’

Wasn’t that ‘making trouble and being unreasonable’?

The host always has a perfect misconception of her position.

When Qi Chimu went out, he deliberately encountered the third prince and successfully played a game of chess with him.

The third prince was unexpectedly easy to get along with and seemed to have a good impression of him.

But halfway through the game, the third prince casually brought up Bai Weiwei.

His heart immediately froze over by more than half, and he promptly grew vigilant.

Why was he asking this?

Could it be that he had fallen for Bai Weiwei?

When Qi Chimu thought this, he even thought of beating up the third prince.

Fortunately, the third prince only expressed envy for the deep love between husband and wife.

He also said that the two people who could love with such affection were definitely good-natured and pure people who could be trusted.

Bai-Vicious-Selfish-Weiwei.

Qi-Scheming-Dark and Twisted-Chimu.

Good-natured and pure-hearted?

Were the third prince’s eyes blinded by something? How could he see something like that?

Even a person as proficient in forbearance as Qi Chimu couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth, nearly exposing his true colors.

The lord he served in his previous life had an eye for people that so perfectly missed all the right answers…

Whatever ba, this was the emperor he chose. He would kneel and hug this big thigh to death.

Perhaps because of the mention of Bai Weiwei, but while brushing up favorability with the third prince, his mind was distracted the entire time.

She had ignored him for five days.

Before, she would at least boss him around, scold him, disdain him, and even beat him with her delicate little hands.

1: 强弱的局面: lit. strong or weak situation. Basically, before this, Bai Weiwei used to be the one who could only go along with whatever Qi Chimu said. Now, it’s the reverse, where Qi Chimu doesn’t dare to force Bai Weiwei to do things she doesn’t want to do, so now the one who has the upper hand has been reversed.↩

2: It’s supposed to be funny, because the three obediences and four virtues are a code of conduct for women. Basically, women are supposed to be obedient to the men in their household and speak and behave with modesty and virtue.↩
