Good-For-Nothing Young Master 2

Ouyang Xueqing's belly full of anger instantly dosed with a bucket of cold water and dissipated, her heart sank to the pit of her stomach and even her voice was hoarse when she whispered. "W—What? What did you say?"

"Mo Yujian's reputation is infamous throughout the country. With a powerful and rich father, he become the kind of young master that lived his life in wine and pleasure. He is the worst kind of man that loved to visit the brothels regularly even though he has a fiancée."

Ouyang Xueqing was speechless as the image of pure celestial being that had descended from heaven in her mind cracked and crumbled in pieces.

She felt so suffocated that she almost puked her breakfast out.

How could…how could the man that she had owed this debt to turn out to be such a bastard?

His aloof expression, his cold and calm eyes and disinterested demeanor even when faced with the temptation of her grandpa's invitation and gifts, Ouyang Xueqing felt for sure that he must be an upright man which had no desire in mortal's affair!

Huhu, she didn't want to listen anymore…

Ouyang Xueqing's shoulder dropped in disappointment. Suddenly she felt that it was ridiculous for her to be so excited over this kind of person.

Three years, for full three years, she had always put him in high pedestal. She had always imagined about what kind of person he was. Yet, even in her wildest dream, she didn't expect the truth to be like this!

"Do you still want to continue?" Ling Wenfu smiled amicably as he asked. There was something in his smile that made Ouyang Xueqing swallowed back her rejection.

She remembered what Ling Wenfu had said a moment ago. "You said that he is not simple."

"Yes." He grinned and nodded. He knew that the Princess must be devastated by the truth, but she had forced herself to remain calm and keep listening to him with a clear mind.

What should he do? He liked the princess more and more. If only Ling Xiaochen's born a man. Alas…

"The report we received stated that the third young master of White Owl country, Mo Yujian, is a jerk, bastard and salacious man. Because he was born rich, he has always been spending his money freely and indulged in wine and women. His handsome look has gained him much favor that no woman could ever resisted him. He was a lazy and unambitious man that even didn't cultivate properly, making his two brothers shined in return. In short, he is a good-for-nothing young master."

Ouyang Xueqing began to realize the abnormality of his sentences. "Lazy and unambitious? But he could get through Sheng Li's protective array!"

"Yes, he's not like what he's shown himself to public. I have guessed that it was all a farce."

"But why?"

"In the last two years, Mo Shengnian had been afflicted with some kind of incurable disease. It was akin to a slow acting poison that devoured his life until death. Yet, no physician can find him a cure. In this kind of situation, the administrator position is more or less empty. His sons and daughters have been vying for this and secretly tried to get rid of one another. Except Mo Yujian who resumed his lifestyle as if there's no storm brewing in his house."

"But this precise act had got his brothers' and sisters' guard lowered and they were too lazy to deal with him. They just let him be as long as he didn't interfere with the fight in succession."

Ouyang Xueqing lips curled subconsciously as she muttered. "That's his goal, and he succeed beautifully."

"That's right. Mo Yujian's status is the lower in the entire house because his mother was a servant that had him over a one night stand with Mo Shengnian. As soon as she gave birth to him, his mother died of poison and thus left him all alone in the cruel and merciless environment where everyone scrutinized him over every single mistake."

An image of a cold and aloof little boy emerged in Ouyang Xueqing's mind and she felt a surge of sympathy deep in her heart. In the kind of house where there is no warmth nor feelings, how would he live peacefully?

Ouyang Xueqing could somehow understand his stand and decisions. "But why didn't he choose to fight for the position? With his strength, his siblings aren't his match at all!"

"Well, I commend him for that. Think about it, Princess, if you have that kind of strength level, do a mere administrator position still entice you?"

Ouyang Xueqing shook her head. She suddenly felt enlightened. "That's right! Why should he fight for a position in a fifth rank country when he deserve more?"

Ling Wenfu nodded and sipped his tea. "Even I doubted his infamous reputation when I dig a little bit deeper. It all seemed like a plot, a very detailed and well thought out plot. My people even needed a year to get close to his side. He is such a cautious man that even those that served him had to pass through a string of test and be tested in a time period to ascertain their loyalty."

The ever silent Ling Xiaochen suddenly muttered under her breath. "He sounds like a pain in the ass."

Both Ling Wenfu and Ouyang Xueqing were speechless…

Ouyang Xueqing pouted unhappily. "Do you think your An Zhengnan is not a pain in the ass?"

"What?!" She rebuked as if she's the one that got insulted. "An Zhengnan is not that kind of person at all!"

"Yeah yeah." Ling Wenfu picked his ear as he commented dully. "Seduce him first and then we can talk."

Ling Xiaochen's face blushed in deep red. "What seduce?! Who seduce who?!"

Ouyang Xueqing clicked her tongue and stared at her in blatant annoyance. "I have created so, so many opportunities for you yet you couldn't even get him to your bed."

"What?!" Ling Xiaochen acted as if her tail was being stepped on. "A—Am I such a person?!"

Ling Wenfu nodded solemnly: "Yes."

Ling Xiaochen: "…" Damn, old man, am I still your daughter? How could you insult me like that? Even if it's true, you have to keep the secret for me, okay?!

Ouyang Xueqing chuckled as she observed the father and daughter pair. Over the year, she had gotten used to their bickers and fights. Even though it was such a headache at first, yet it all seemed pretty funny and entertaining now.

"T—The point is," She stuttered in obvious panic. "I could never, never done that kind of thing!"

Ouyang Xueqing: "Seriously? Didn't you just kiss him a while ago?"

"What?!" Ling Wenfu exclaimed in shock. His eyes were as wide as saucers and his mouth gaped open in disbelief. Even his bushy beard trembled in excitement as he spoke. "You two finally kiss?"

"Shut up old man!" Ling Xiaochen bellowed in a mixture of rage and embarrassment.

"No. It was Xiaochen that forced that kiss onto An Zhengnan." Ouyang Xueqing cupped her cheeks and sighed. "An Zhengnan is really too dense. If Xiaochen didn't do that, I doubt that he will even realize her feelings."

"Ckckck." Ling Wenfu shook his head with sympathy in his eyes. "Why are you in love with such a blockhead?"

"You are not allowed to talk bad about him!" Ling Xiaochen's red eyes then turned to Ouyang Xueqing. "And you! Stop gossiping about my love affair with my old man as if I'm not here!"

Ouyang Xueqing grinned sheepishly. "I was just giving you an advice ah! If you don't hurry, then Minister Wen's eldest daughter will snatch him away!"

"You think I don't know?" Ling Xiaochen huffed in irritation. "My network information is greater than yours! Of course I know that bitch Wen Qiuying has her eyes on An Zhengnan, she even dared to use his father's position to an engagement!"

Ouyang Xueqing whistled. "This Wen girl is sure gutsy. Why don't you fight her then? Your father is the underground black market's boss. Compare to a mere minister, you have a greater chance to succeed!"

Ling Wenfu stroked his beard as he contemplated. "That's right. Do you want daddy to propose an engagement to His Majesty?"

"No!" Ling Xiaochen stomped her feet, she felt so aggrieved that she wanted to bawl. "I don't want to force him using my background! I want him to love me from the bottom of his heart!"

Ouyang Xueqing looked at her with an incredulous expression. "Such a hassle. Who said that feelings can't be cultivated after marriage? Tie him first then make him submit to you until he can see no one other than you!" She even pumped her fists full of excitement.

Ling Xiaochen's mouth twitched. Is this still the Princess? Why had she become more and more like a bandit? She sighed exasperatedly. "Where did you learn it from?"

"An Zhengnan's magazine of course! It was in the newest edition of short story 'Young Miss, don't stop kissing me' It was really popular, even I had caught An Zhengnan reading it once! He was so embarrassed and even stuttered in panic, hehe, he must have liked that kind of woman!"
