Bad End

(Sorry State/ Downfall) 

---

Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang’s beautiful face, listening to his gentle voice in his ear, almost about to nod his head. Fortunately, when he was about to nod his head, he suddenly thought of something and immediately stopped his tendency to nod his head.

 

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing who was obviously just about to promise him, but now he suddenly paused, he didn’t quite understand the question: “What’s wrong?”

 

Chen Xing raised his eyes to look at the man in front of him, only to see that he looked at himself with a pure and kindhearted face. His eyes were full of puzzled looks, he seemed to be really confused.

 

Gu Lang saw Chen Xing staring at himself without saying anything, the puzzled expression on his face became deeper and deeper, which made his good-looking face look more and more innocent, “Is there any problem with the question I just asked?”

 

Looking at such innocent Gu Lang, Chen Xing suddenly suspected that he himself was not too sensitive, even if Gu Lang, no matter how much he likes to eat this Xue Mei Niang, it is not possible to sell his sex appeal to let him leave behind this food.

 

Thinking of this, Chen Xing smiled as he shook his head, shortly after that, he looked up to the man who was staring at him and said in a warm voice, “It’s not that, I want to give the rest as a thank you gift to the several helpers in the shop as well as to Liao Gong Zi to thank them for helping us to testify at the court.”

 

Gu Lang heard his words, from his face, it can be seen on the naked eye, appeared a few points of loss, and even turned his head to look at the rest of those Xue Mei Niang; there were still a few points of ‘reluctance to give up look’ in his eyes.

 

Chen Xing began to feel guilty, thinking that if he was too bad, since even Gu Lang only wanted to eat a few Xue Mei Niang, this kind of request, you did not even satisfied him.

 

However, Gu Lang turned his head at this moment, he looked at him again and gently said, “What you said is right, they helped us, we should thank them then. I can wait for the next time you make it again before I eat it.”

 

Gu Lang looked at Gu Lang’s obviously unwilling to give up look, but he was pretending to be willing to give up. He wanted to open his mouth and tell Gu Lang that all these leftover Xue Mei Niang were Gu Lang’s, and he could eat them whenever he wanted, however reason pulled at him as he finally held his tongue but still said, “Then I’ll make more next time, and leave some more for you.”

 

“Hn.” Gu Lang smiled and responded, but in his heart, he silently sighed. Now, he can’t even pretend to be pitiful. Ay, thinking about this dessert that he had not even eaten a few bites of, will soon be taken advantage by those few outsiders and his few incompetent and good-for-nothing henchmen, he had a burst of heartache.

 

PChen Xing, however, after finishing Xue Mei Niang in his hand, with a little bit of guilt towards Gu Lang, he quickly packed up the rest of Xue Mei Niang and asked Qiu Jiu to send those people out.

 

After all this, Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang, who seemed a bit depressed and dejected as he began to calculate what should he make to make Gu Lang happy, even his original anger was completely forgotten.

 

On the other hand, Butler Zhou returned to the Chen family with the young male servant who was still a little bit at loss.

 

Standing in front of the high door with carved beams and painted pillars, thinking of the Chen Old Master he was about to face, Butler Zhou appeared hesitant for the first time.

 

The servant beside Butler Zhou looked at him as he stood still, turning his head to look at him with some confusion on his face, and stood with him for almost an incense stick’s worth of time before he finally couldn’t help but shout, “Butler Zhou, aren’t you going in?”

 

On hearing this, Housekeeper Zhou suddenly seemed to have come back to his senses from his confusion, nodded towards the little servant who was staring at him from the side, then he lifted his feet to walk in.

 

Bypassing the complicated front yard, Butler Zhou arrived in front of Master Chen’s study room. The maid who usually treated him with extremely respect, looked at him with more probing and disdain expression.

 

Noticing the change in the maid’s face, the butler was shocked. His face that originally already solemn, was tense for a few more minutes.

 

“Master, Butler Zhou is here.”

 

Butler Zhou was not ready yet, the maid at the door used a clear voice to transmit a message inside.

 

Immediately after, a familiar low male voice came from inside, “Come in ba!”

 

At the same moment when he heard voice, Butler Zhou’s heart lifted up, hanging high in the air. Although the voice inside him did not have many waves, he could hear the suppressed anger in it, he then knew that he was really finished this time.

 

Thinking that his efforts for so many years will be in vain, Steward Zhou’s underfoot seems to be rooted, no longer dare to take a step forward.

 

The maid who used to be so attentive, as if she couldn’t unable to make sense his expression, showed him a gesture of invitation without any expression, and said with the characteristic softness of the female voice: “Butler Zhou, please come in! The Old Master is already waiting for you inside.”

 

Butler Zhou nodded his head stiffly, and finally raised his feet and walked inside.

 

When Housekeeper Zhou’s figure disappeared behind the door and the door was closed again, the maid guarding the doorway looked up at the clear blue sky above her head and snorted lightly, ‘This Chen Mansion ah, it seems that there will soon be a new housekeeper. This person ah, he can not take himself too important or too seriously. Moreover, how can a slave overpass the master? Beside that, he also took his own initiative to do so many things.’

 

Butler Zhou who was staying inside is not aware of the little maid’s comment, he entered the door and met with Chen old master’s dark eyes. With his heavy heart, butler Zhou immediately kneeled on his knees and looking at the man in front of him and shouted, “Master.”
