Chapter 301: The Sect Leader Wakes Up Grumpy Every Day (49)

You Yi secretly glanced over and also called her “Madam.”

The door opened, and a graceful man in white walked out. His handsome face bore a gentle smile. “Young Master.”

Noticing the girl’s gaze, he smiled again.

Shen Mubai had always been curious about his identity and couldn’t help but take another look.

A cold snort came from beside her as her hand was gripped even tighter. Jun Jiuling gave the man in white a cold glance and then pulled the girl away.

Gu Huaiyuan’s smile froze, and he looked somewhat aggrieved as he glanced at a few people who were looking at him with sympathy.

He asked, “Is the Young Master in a bad mood?”

They all shook their heads vigorously.

Gu Huaiyuan thought for a moment and finally noticed the intimate way the Sect Master had been holding the girl’s hand earlier. Helplessly, he said, “He’s really jealous.”

They all nodded in agreement.

You Yi felt particularly wronged: “I just looked at Cuihua a little longer today, and the Young Master got angry.”

The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. “Now Cuihua can’t even cook for us anymore.”

Yun Niang knocked on his head. “What Cuihua? You should call her Madam. Madam is supposed to cook for the Young Master, not for you.”

You Yi burst into tears, hugging the strategist’s leg for comfort. “From now on, we’ll rely on you for our meals.”

Gu Huaiyuan ruthlessly pried him off.

“No way. I have so many tasks to handle; it’s good if I can come back a few times a month.”

Thinking about his future life, You Yi couldn’t help but feel a bit that there is no more love in life.

Meanwhile, back in their room, Jun Jiuling pulled Shen Mubai to sit on the bed and stared at her intently, his expression very gloomy.

“Do you like the strategist?”

Each word seemed to come out through clenched teeth.

Shen Mubai was utterly bewildered.

“Who’s the strategist?”

Jun Jiuling’s face was dark.

“That’s the man who looked so ugly when he smiled just now.”

Shen Mubai, “…..”

Only then did she realize who he was talking about, but the man’s smile wasn’t ugly at all.

Of course, she didn’t dare say that out loud. Seeing Jun Jiuling looking like he wanted to kill someone, she quickly clarified, “Who said I like him?”

Jun Jiuling let out a cold laugh. “Then why were you staring at him?”

Shen Mubai felt wronged: “I was just curious about his identity.”

Hearing her explanation, Jun Jiuling’s expression softened a bit.

“From now on, don’t stare at other men.”

Shen Mubai felt the conversation was taking a strange turn. Why did it feel like she was appeasing a jealous lover? She quickly dismissed that frightening thought, coughed, and changed the topic.

“Sect Master, are you hungry?”

Jun Jiuling nodded at her question, “I am a bit hungry.”

Shen Mubai quickly said, “Then I’ll go cook for you.”

“Wait.” Jun Jiuling pulled her back.

Shen Mubai fell back onto the bed. “Sect Master, is there something else?”

Jun Jiuling stared at her and said, “Don’t call me Sect Master from now on.”

Shen Mubai asked, “Then what should I call you?”

Jun Jiuling’s lips curled into a pleased smile, his long eyes deep and dark. In a low voice, he said, “Ah Ling, or husband.”

Shen Mubai, “…..”

She took a deep breath, her hands clutching her sleeves nervously. “Sect Master, I can’t marry you.”

Jun Jiuling’s face darkened immediately, and he stared at Shen Mubai for a while. Finally, he said nothing more and just said flatly, “You can leave now.”
