As Zhang Mu felt the soft, moist touch of Gu Qingqing’s lips against the back of his hand, he was genuinely stunned.
This little brat Gu Qingqing was becoming quite unsettling.
The once proud and exceptionally talented future Prime Minister was now playing this role to such an extent just to gain his trust. It was almost as if she had lost her mind!
In their previous life, she had already gone to great lengths—initially acting humble, only to later trample him underfoot, torturing and manipulating him to her heart’s content.
But in this life?
She was even more submissive than before!
Unbelievable.
She was probably already plotting how to grind his bones to dust.
Although Zhang Mu couldn’t help but admire and acknowledge Gu Qingqing’s 'dark' and 'twisted' behavior, knowing it would help him finish the plot and return to reality to enjoy life, there was a limit to everything.
He didn’t want her to replace Ye Feng, the main protagonist, and start tormenting him instead.
After all, his role was to highlight Ye Feng’s righteousness and purity, not to become Gu Qingqing’s p.laything.
Even though something felt a bit off, Zhang Mu couldn’t be bothered to worry too much.
As long as the plot continued smoothly and allowed him to finish the story and go home, that was all that mattered.
So, regarding Gu Qingqing’s pledge of loyalty, Zhang Mu waved his hand dismissively and said, “Alright, alright, I believe you. You’re just a little girl—how could you possibly betray me?”
“Go on, remember that you must win the Chief Prosecutor’s selection this afternoon! Don’t disappoint the trust I’ve placed in you. You should know how much I’ve sacrificed to support someone like you, a commoner! You were born different from us! Always remember your lowly status and the sacrifices I, your master, have made for you!”
Playing the villain to the end, Zhang Mu had to fully embody his role as the evil villain, just like a tank in an online game, keeping the heroine’s hatred firmly focused on him.
'Oh, my foolish future Prime Minister, hate me. Remember this humiliation well, and when you’ve grown stronger, take your revenge on me. I’m counting on you to send me back home.'
But despite Zhang Mu’s extremely harsh words, Gu Qingqing only curled her lips into a slight smile, laughing softly like the gentle chime of silver bells. “I will not disappoint you, my most esteemed Young Master Zhang Mu, my… master!”
Before leaving, Gu Qingqing again lifted Zhang Mu’s hand and, with a deep reverence, kissed the back of it before finally turning and exiting the room.
As soon as she was gone, Zhang Mu immediately pulled out a tissue and wiped his hand.
He thought, "Damn it. What’s up with the future Prime Minister today? Swearing loyalty is one thing, but why does she keep kissing me? Unbelievable.”
…
Meanwhile, after leaving the room, Gu Qingqing couldn’t help but pause for a moment outside the door.
She enjoyed breathing in the air that carried Zhang Mu’s scent.
After taking a few deep breaths, she extended her jade-like fingers to gently rub her crimson lips, then ran her tongue over them in a slow circle.
Despite her simple and modest appearance, which made her look like the innocent and friendly neighbor girl, Gu Qingqing’s actions were irresistibly seductive and alluring.
It was as if a thousand-year-old fox spirit, disguised as a young girl, was struggling to hide its true nature.
In truth, Gu Qingqing had barely managed to restrain herself just now.
She had almost lost control and extended her tongue toward Zhang Mu.
The temptation he posed to her was like fire to a moth, like honey to an ant.
