Chapter 144

Chu Mu had a cold handsome face, his amber peach eyes were full of charm, and the corners of his lips curled up into a sneer: "Do you know that you are afraid? Dare to talk nonsense and try."

Qiao Ye blinked: "What did I say?"

Chu Mu hugged her and continued to walk forward, snorting out of his nostrils: "Huh, I don't remember the best. I said that in the next life, if you change to someone who doesn't torture others, you can't be better for my young master? Qiao Ye, let me tell you, If you mess with me, your life, the next life, and the next life are all over, don't even try to find someone else..." Seeing Qiao Ye staring at him, Chu Mu bit her lip with his head: "What are you looking at?! Look again I ate you!"

Qiao Ye bit her lip, turned her eyes away, and said extremely dissatisfied: "Who is so domineering, even in the next life."

As soon as she lowered her body and her feet touched the ground, Chu Mu had already put her down.

"Look up."

Qiao Ye was waiting for Chu Mu's reaction, but saw him smiling with his arms around her shoulders, motioning her to look up.

He raised his head disapprovingly.Startled suddenly.

A dense area in front of you is full of white jade locust trees, and the small snow-white flowers look like little night pearls against the backdrop of the night, hanging in strings on the branches.Even though she had seen the white jade locust tree in Yuncheng for three full years, she no longer found it unusual, but when she saw the scene in front of her, Qiao Ye couldn't help but stare blankly with her mouth wide open.

Chu Mu smiled and asked, "Is it pretty?"

Qiao Ye turned to look at him, nodded, and then walked forward: "I didn't expect there to be so many white jade flowers here, why didn't you tell me?"

Chu Mu followed, bowed his head and smiled slightly: "Didn't you see it today? It's not too late."

In the past, he wanted to bring her here, but she refused, or she was willing, and was interrupted by something that happened suddenly in the middle. Some things were hidden in his heart, and he still dare not bring them up easily.

In a very large garden, except for the green grassland, there are only white pagoda trees, as if with white pagoda flowers, other flowers can no longer be seen.

As Qiao Ye was walking, she suddenly turned her head and said with a smile, "Emperor Chu's birthday will be in seven days. Have you prepared any gifts yet?"

Chu Mu didn't expect that she would ask such a question at this time, startled, sat down on the grass, raised his head and asked, "Why did you suddenly say this?"

Qiao Ye raised her eyebrows: "Aren't you worried about this? Then why can't you sleep at night?"

Chu Mu lowered his head and smiled, but the smile was a little dazed: "I miss you, so I can't sleep."

Qiao Ye walked over, sat down beside him, put his arms around his arm and said, "I'm thinking of a gift."

"What is it?" Chu Mu looked sideways at her.

"I won't tell you." Qiao Ye smiled, resting her head on his shoulder.

Chu Mu let out an "oh" and didn't respond.

Qiao Ye pushed him dissatisfied: "Is this the only reaction?"

Chu Mu immediately laughed, and reached out to scratch her itch: "What's wrong with this reaction? Didn't you say you won't tell me?"

He didn't let her go until she was itching to roll in the grass begging for mercy.

The sky is full of stars, and the white jade flowers in the garden are comparable to the stars, as bright as night pearls, not inferior.

Tired from the fuss, Qiao Ye fell into a deep sleep in his arms. Chu Mu took off his coat and covered her body, changing a comfortable position for her to lean against.Looking down at her peaceful sleeping face, he suddenly felt worried. He reached out to caress her cheek, rubbed it gently with his fingertips, and a wry smile appeared on his lips——

Everything is as unreal as a dream.Even though her person was by his side, he still felt unable to grasp her.

From childhood to adulthood, he has always had a high status. He is the only son of King Qingyi. Even when he was born, his father was still the Emperor of Chu, and he was of course the only heir apparent. There was no rivalry between brothers or court battles.In the eyes of outsiders, everything about him is enviable and beautiful, glamorous and carefree.However, everything in this world is like a person who knows how warm and cold he drinks, but the honey in the eyes of others is a deadly poison to him——

His birth was originally unwelcome, because of his arrival, the mother who was loved by the world left this world so that he could survive.From then on, his father hated him to the bone.

Before the age of 15, ominous, alien, withdrawn, weird, all these derogatory terms can be used on him.

Because of his high position, no one dared to provoke him casually.Because he is born to restrain his mother, everyone avoids him like a snake and a scorpion.Because I was often locked up in confinement, I didn't feel anything even if I was in a place without any light.He has no relatives who love him, no friends who understand him, nothing he likes, and he is obviously disliked everywhere, but he still pretends to like him very much.

On his fifth birthday, he was taken into the palace by the Emperor Chu and rewarded him with a jade pendant engraved with the word "Mu".This was the first time someone gave him a gift on his birthday. At that time, he felt that the person who treated him best in the world was the Emperor Chu, because he did not regard his birthday as a day of mourning like everyone else—never mention, or set up an altar to offer sacrifices to.

However, after returning to the palace, his father saw him, but took the jade pendant away, and told him viciously that in this life, he was just a sinner!I was really young at that time, not only cried, but also rushed up to snatch the jade pendant without self-control.

His father didn't push him or hit him, but mercilessly avoided him by turning his body. As a result, he hit the artificial rock with a burst of force, and the top of his head was bleeding profusely.But at that time, he didn't know the pain anymore, got up, gritted his teeth and continued to grab the jade pendant until he hugged it tightly in his arms and refused to let go.

He forgot to look at his father's expression, forgot to care about the blood flowing from the top of his head, forgot everything, and only remembered the jade pendant in his arms—the first birthday present, which he finally snatched.

Then lose consciousness.

When he woke up, he was already in Yuncheng.

Father is so ruthless, in memory, he has always been so ruthless.The biological son, the only son, if you don't want it, you don't want it, if you say you lose it, you lose it.Since then, until now, the incurable headache has been tormenting him all the time.

Yuncheng was remote, and the second year he went there, the Emperor Chu gave him the entire city.He thought he could escape from everything and live freely, but he didn't expect that the glory in the eyes of others was the crime and punishment he had borne all his life.

"Mom..." The man in his arms suddenly moved, and his hands tightened his clothes.

Chu Mu regained his senses and looked at her again. Her eyes were closed tightly, her long eyelashes flickered, and she didn't wake up.It turned out to be a dream.

Sighing, he tightened the clothes covering her body, and slowly hugged her horizontally. The night was slightly cold, and he might get sick if he slept like this.

The white jade locust trees in the garden, the jade-like locust trees, the secrets he has cherished for many years, are willing to share with her, but he can't tell her about the pain and helplessness, and he doesn't want her to know.

"dad……"

She was still muttering something, but it wasn't his name.

Chu Mu lowered his head and kissed her face, with a slight wry smile on his lips, little fool, you are my lover, but you said, I am your relative - a lover and a relative are different.You know, apart from my mother, I have never believed in my relatives, and I have never had family affection at all, and my mother... is no longer a person in the world.

It turns out that you just want me, but you don't love me.

Early the next morning, on the busiest street in Chudu, a young man dressed in white was walking around, and behind him was an enchanting woman in red.

In front of a shop, the boy stopped, turned his head and said to the woman in red: "I'll go in and have a look."

It is a jade shop.

The woman in red didn't bother to pay attention to him, but still reluctantly followed behind him.

"What do you want to see, the guest officer? There are all kinds of jade in the small shop, which are suitable for gifting to others or for home furnishings." The owner of the jade shop greeted him hospitablely.

The white-clothed boy looked around, and was not in a hurry to speak. After turning around the store, he said, "Do you have suet jade in your store?"

"Yes!" The boss went to a special cabinet, opened the drawer, pointed to the several pieces of jade displayed inside, and said, "The guest officer is really an expert, and this suet jade is the most precious kind of jade. These pieces of jade Guanyin are all The best of the best is mined from the jade fields in Yuncheng and carved by the most famous master. If the guest officer buys it and asks the presiding master of Biyuan Temple to consecrate it, it will be a good product for protecting the town house! "

The young man smiled, noncommittal, but asked: "Then, do you have larger suet jade in your store? It is the kind of jade that has not been carved and has no shape."

"This..." The boss was stopped by the question, glanced at the boy's appearance and clothes, guessed that he didn't come here to make trouble on purpose, such a big customer can't be lost in vain!So, I could only continue to ask: "How much jade do you want?"

The boy thought about it for a while, and said, "It's about the same height as me, and the width should be about the same as your boss."

The boss looked down at his round belly, and could only smile awkwardly: "Master, this is too hard for me, let me tell you the truth, although the small shop is in the jade business, I have seen all kinds of jade. But this mutton fat white jade is so precious that not everyone can afford it. There are only a few jade Guanyin pieces in the small shop, and the largest Guanyin Guanyin is only one foot long and less than half a foot wide. Alas, my son, you If you want such a large jade material, you may not be able to find it even if you search all over Chudu. Moreover, although the jade fields in Yuncheng are of good quality, those mine owners are really tricky and refuse to hand over the good jade material. There's nothing the store can do."

As he talked, he complained about the jade fields in Yuncheng.

The boy in white kept smiling and did not refute him.

"Young master, why don't you take a look at other jades. This black jade is also rare in the world. There are many types of black jade in the small shop, and there are also red jade..." The boss turned to introduce others.

The boy in white looked over one by one. For those who love jade, these are indeed rare treasures, but his purpose of coming today is not for this.
