Chapter 569: Evil charming

Chen Ning gave a faint sigh .  She passed through a moon shaped gate and passed through a garden, walking in the direction of where she lived .

She knew that Chu Shao Bai would come find her, but she did not know what she should say to him when he came .

Should she thank him or apologize to him?

She was walking forward in a daze when she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind .

“Ning’er . ”  The voice was gentle and cool, sounding very nice in the night .

Chen Ning stopped moving and slowly turned around .

She then saw Chu Shao Bai .

He was standing under an apricot tree, with his white robes looking like frost and the apricots looking like flames .  There was a lantern hanging in the trees, shining light down onto his handsome face, making it look gentle and hazy .

“Ning’er . ”  He called again as he looked at her with a faint smile .

His face was picturesque and his eyes were clear and abundant as jades .  The apricot flowers blooming like flames was overshadowed by his smile .

Chen Ning gave a faint sigh .  She already knew that he was evil and charming, but with this smile, his face was even more so .

She slowly walked towards him .

“Xiao Bai . ”

His eyes sparkled as he looked at her .  He suddenly raised his hand and stuffed something into her hands .

“Ning’er, look at what this is . ”

She didn’t need to look down and could tell what it was just by feeling it with her hands .  It was the decree he had worked hard to get for her .

Her heart was moved and her eyes filled with tears .  She looked at him and said, “Xiao Bai, thank you . ”

“You already know?  Ai, ai, ai, it must have been Ye Ting Xuan that told you, right?  I knew for sure that brat would have told my royal aunt . If I wasn’t delayed by something, I would have been the first one to tell you this good news!”

Chu Shao Bai regretfully stomped his feet and his face was filled with pure innocence .

Chen Ning suddenly realized that she did not need to say anything .  He understood anything and he did not blame her . He treated her the exact same as before .

A large stone fell from her heart .  She was really worried that after he found out about her and Mo Chuan, he would hate her and blame her .

On his face, she did not see any pain, anger, resentment, or hatred .  His smile was was as clean and gentle as usual .

Perhaps the love he felt for her was just that simple and without a trace of impurities .

“Xiao Bai, you’re that sure I can win against the East Qin Crown Prince?  He is the smartest person in the world and I am just an unknown little woman .  Have you ever thought of what happens if I lose? Wouldn’t I become a sinner in West Chu?  The citizens will surely hate me . ” She blinked and deliberately revealed a pained expression .

He thought about it and seriously answered, “I have never thought that you would surely win, but you have a higher chance of winning compared to me .  I hope you can win and you can grasp this hard to obtain opportunity . If you can’t win, then I don’t think anyone in West Chu will be able to win against the East Qin Crown Prince .  The citizens won’t blame you, so don’t be pressured . ”

“But, how do you know that I know how to read steles on horseback?  I’ve never practiced this before!” She spoke the truth .

She was the king of memorization in the modern era, but she knew that there was always someone better in the world .  That East Qin Crown Prince is the smartest person in the world and had an identical memory like her, so his memorization skills was not normal .  Adding in the fact that this competition topic given by the East Qin envoys tested memorization abilities as well as how well one’s vision was .
