Chapter 130: Heart Throb Aura
When she saw Yun Wan Ye sprawled across the bed while Mo Yuan Hao was bent over a low couch, her expression turned rather complicated.
[Uh… why is Second Brother sleeping in Prince Qi’s manor tonight? And sharing a room with Prince Qi?]
[Is he here for Su Qian Xue, or did he come specifically to see Prince Qi?]
Yun Wan Ye’s actions had left not only Su Qian Xue baffled, but Yun Wan Ning as well. Unable to figure it out, she decided not to waste the effort.
[Well, I’ll admit, Prince Qi is quite good to Second Brother. He even gave up the bed for him, sleeping on the couch himself.]
[Also… what’s with this “cold resist mode” and losing life points?]
[It sounds a bit strange—life points being deducted just feels ominous.]
[Still, the system’s abilities seem more varied than I thought. I used to think that without points and level-ups, it was useless.]
[Looks like I really underestimated it.]
After checking the dialogue log, Yun Wan Ning closed her eyes and went to sleep.
…
In Prince Qi’s manor, Yun Wan Ye woke to find it already midday. He stretched lazily and sat up, noticing that the couch by the window was empty.
“You’re awake?”
A low voice came from behind the carved sandalwood screen. Turning, he glimpsed a figure seated there.
“Mm.”
With a lazy reply, he got out of bed, slipped on his shoes, and walked over to see Mo Yuan Hao, dressed in dark purple robes, seated at a desk and looking through memorials.
“Good morning, Your Highness.”
He leaned casually against the screen, arms folded. Mo Yuan Hao glanced up briefly, then returned his gaze to the documents.
“The washing set is ready. Freshen up first. Once you’re done, I’ll have the meal brought in.”
Yun Wan Ye chuckled softly, eyes narrowing: “Does Your Highness intend to keep me here?”
“Why not?”
His tone was unreadable as he kept his eyes on the page.
Yun Wan Ye’s brows lifted slightly. He was now certain that Mo Yuan Hao had neither met with Su Qian Xue yesterday nor kept her in the manor—otherwise, he would not be attending to him like this.
Had he guessed wrong? Perhaps Su Qian Xue had never managed to sneak in at all.
“No need, I wouldn’t dare keep occupying your bed.”
Smiling, he went to wash. After breakfast, he took his leave.
…
The moment he left, the system passed the news to Su Qian Xue.
[Host, good news—I just detected Yun Wan Ye leaving Prince Qi’s manor.]
Her eyes lit up.
[Great! That clingy nuisance is finally gone.]
[There’s less than twelve hours left before the task deadline. System, give me Mo Yuan Hao’s location—now.]
[This time, no matter what, I must complete the task.]
[On it, Host. I’ve marked the male lead’s location for you, as well as every place with hidden guards. Make sure to avoid them.]
[Got it.]
Opening the map, she saw the route to Mo Yuan Hao was covered in tiny glowing dots. She almost fainted on the spot.
[Why are there so many? Are all these dots guards?]
[Congratulations, Host, that’s correct—each dot is one hidden guard.]
“…”
Over twenty of them.
[With that many guards, there’s no way I can slip past. System, give me another invisibility talisman.]
[You’ve already received your item pack, so there’s none left. But I can activate invisibility mode for you.]
[That’ll drain life points, won’t it?]
[Yes, Host.]
[Forget it. I’ll manage on my own.]
She browsed her remaining items: a disguise pill and the Heart Throb Aura. Turning them over in her mind, she decided on the latter—after all, it was advanced, and advanced had to be better than basic.
Using the aura, she crept toward Mo Yuan Hao’s location, but still caught the eye of one hidden guard.
The black-clad man stepped out to block her. Tensed and wary, she considered making a loud scene to draw Mo Yuan Hao out—only for the guard to gaze at her with an oddly infatuated look.
“Miss, are you a new maid? You look a lot like someone the Prince detests…”
“…”
His eyes were practically heart-shaped. Could this be the aura’s power—making people stupid on the spot?
“Yes, I’m new. I need to see the Prince. Step aside.”
“I can’t. You look like someone he hates. If he saw you, he might get angry—and hurt you.”
Was it possible she was that “someone”? Apparently, Mo Yuan Hao’s dislike for her was public knowledge.
“I’m not afraid. I have important business with him. If you don’t move, I’ll shout.”
But he stood unmoving. Frustrated, she shoved at him—without effect.
So she planted her hands on her hips and yelled: “Mo Yuan Hao! Come out here! Give me back my book!”
The guard stiffened, but before he could act, a tall, imposing man emerged from a nearby doorway, sunlight gilding the side of his face. His features were already dangerously handsome, and the light made them almost unreal.
She swallowed hard.
Damn, the male lead was truly in a league of his own.
“How did Miss Su sneak into the manor?”
He frowned at her, yet for some reason found her oddly… compelling.
Hearing his voice made her knees weak. Was this destiny’s pairing at work?
“Don’t worry about that,” she said, holding out her hand. “Give me back the book I sent last time. If you won’t cooperate, I’ll find someone else to carry out the plan.”
His gaze dipped to her hand, a strange heat in his eyes.
“You’ll never get the book back. I admit I was wrong last time, and I can apologize, but the book stays with me. And don’t think to share its contents—especially not with your father. If any of it leaks, you’ll regret it.”
A chill slid down her spine. He meant every word.
[System, why do I feel like the aura isn’t affecting him?]
[It is—but he’s the male lead. The effect is minimal unless you can spark some genuine favor from him.]
“…”
“Fine,” she said softly, “I’ll work with you alone—but on one condition.”
“Presumptuous. I am Prince Qi. Do you not understand rank and decorum?”
“Names are for calling, aren’t they? If you hate people using yours, why have one at all?”
He was briefly speechless.
“This time I’ll let it go, but remember: my name is not for you to use.”
Grinding her teeth, she shot back: “Fine, who cares. Earlier you said you’d compensate me for last time—how?”
“I’ll send it to your residence.”
“If I’m not satisfied, there’s no deal.”
He studied her for a moment. “Then tell me what you want. If it’s reasonable, I’ll have it prepared immediately.”
“Well, should we really discuss this standing here? I’m tired, Your Highness. Could we talk inside?”
Her plans required privacy, after all.
His fist clenched, instinct saying it was unwise—but the thought of the book made him hesitate. Finally, he nodded.
“Come with me.”
As he turned, her face lit with triumph. First step complete. Now for step two—she would give it everything she had and make sure she won him over.
