As soon as Zhang Mu entered the room, Gu Qingqing immediately stood up, bowed respectfully, and even kissed the back of his hand with reverence.
Then, with a cheerful smile, she said, "Master Zhang Mu, I successfully won the election today and have also passed the Empress's interview. I am now officially the Chief Prosecutor."
"And the Empress is very pleased with me. She even invited me to attend next week’s court banquet."
Hearing Gu Qingqing's words, Zhang Mu, who was careful to play his role as the villain, naturally responded with a sharp tongue, "Good job. You didn’t disappoint me."
"A court banquet? Go ahead and attend. I’ll likely be there too."
"But don’t think that just because you’ve earned the Empress’s favor, you can escape from my protection."
"I am your master. Do you understand?"
Gu Qingqing immediately smiled and replied, "Qingqing understands."
"Qingqing will always, always be your loyal dog, Master."
As she spoke, Gu Qingqing knelt down and began licking the back of Zhang Mu’s hand.
‘I really want to try what it feels like to put Master’s finger in my mouth.’ Gu Qingqing thought to herself, unable to resist glancing up at him with a hint of desire in her seemingly pure and innocent face.
She couldn't help but ask in a humble tone, "Master, Qingqing did very well today. Can Qingqing get a reward?"
Seeing Gu Qingqing’s familiar, enticing yet scheming expression, Zhang Mu’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. He instinctively asked, "What kind of reward do you want?"
"Your finger, your finger!" Gu Qingqing quickly replied.
Zhang Mu was stunned, "?!"
'What the heck!'
'Gu Qingqing!'
'It’s only the beginning, and you’re already showing your true colors?!'
'You’ve just established a relationship with me, and you already want to torment me by cutting off my finger?!'
Zhang Mu immediately became furious and shouted, "How dare you make such a request!"
Seeing Zhang Mu’s anger, Gu Qingqing quickly prostrated herself on the ground, trembling as she begged for mercy. "Master, I was wrong! I was too bold! I’m so sorry, Master! I dared to make such an outrageous request as licking your finger—please forgive me!"
"I deserve to die! Please forgive me!"
Seeing her apologize, Zhang Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Alright.
Even though wanting to cut off one of his fingers was excessive, this kind of harmful intent and behavior was exactly what he expected from her.
"Wait a minute! You said your reward was to lick my finger?!" Zhang Mu suddenly realized.
"Y-Yes... I was really out of line, too shameless! Please punish me, Master!" Gu Qingqing knelt on the ground, speaking with regret.
Looking at Gu Qingqing in this state, Zhang Mu’s pupils contracted. He took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Unbelievable.
This life’s Gu Qingqing was far too humble. Her behavior and acting were incredible.
She really seemed utterly loyal, as if she was genuinely in love with him.
If he didn’t know better, he might have believed it.
In his previous life, he had indeed let Gu Qingqing lick his finger once. It was later on, when she wanted to show her submission, that she offered to do so. But despite her apparent submission, Gu Qingqing secretly defied him, and all her actions were just an act.
However, to progress through the plot, Zhang Mu naturally agreed to this deeply humiliating gesture, treating it like teasing a pet cat or dog. But in this life, it hadn’t been long, and Gu Qingqing was already proactively asking to lick his finger.
This was a show of submission. But it seemed far too early for this. She was going to great lengths to win his trust.
But then again, it wasn’t surprising for someone destined to become the future Prime Minister. She was no less than the legendary Han Xin, who had endured humiliation under someone’s legs.
Since the heroine was performing her role so diligently, Zhang Mu decided he ought to play along.
"Lick it." Zhang Mu said coldly, extending his finger.
Then, with a cheerful smile, she said, "Master Zhang Mu, I successfully won the election today and have also passed the Empress's interview. I am now officially the Chief Prosecutor."
