Chapter 55

55 When you were there, benwang couldn’t see you as well Part I

Ouyang Feilong frowned. And Bai Yu became even more enthusiastic.

A beauty is still a beauty even with a frown!!

It was common for an international actress like her to have met countless handsome men before. That was the reason why she did not feel anything for good-looking men in this world. Whether it was Ouyang Mingxian who was a bad boy type or the angelic Ouyang Wenrou, their appearances could not make her heart flutter.

But from today, Ouyang Feilong would be the only exception!

With the devastating beauty that even the number one beauty like her had to step aside, with the golden eyes that hid violence beneath calmness, a trademark of the black dragon, Bai Yu could only say one word.

He’s a bottom!

And not any normal bottom.

A power bottom!

Before making her breakthrough from the big-budget Chinese TV series, when Bai Yu was still an actress who was only well-known in Thailand and China, she had starred in many Chinese BL series. It was impossible for her to not know what the ideal image of a ‘bottom’ was. First and foremost, a beautiful face was a must!

.....

“You fool, what are you daydreaming about?”

Bai Yu frowned. This was clearly a low voice of a man. Still, it was as smooth as it was deep. Forgivable!

“Ouch!”

Her forehead was flicked by the beauty. Bai Yu cried out and immediately covered her forehead. Her heavy head gave her no chance of evading.

Why did this beauty not understand a fellow beauty? “You’re also a beauty, then why don’t you know how to treat beautiful women more gently?!”

“There’s no need for benwang to be gentle with a beauty like you.” His nonchalant words were a cruel stab to her heart. Still, the fact that he did not deny that she was a beauty made Bai Yu regain her liveliness again.

“So what is it with a beauty like me, then?”

“Only skin-deep.”

“But my hair is also beautiful.”

“Are foolish words like this something a beauty would say?”

“So you’re judging beauty on the basis of words?”

“Of course I would judge from your face and manner...” Golden eyes looked her up and down. Bai Yu suddenly sensed goosebumps, not sure if it was the cold wind or this gaze that made her feel this way. “...But if I consider your words, you’re still a fool all the same.”

“If you consider words, then you’re not a beauty too!” Bai Yu tried to hypnotize herself that she had to forgive him since he was a beauty.

“But benwang admires beauty that comes from the face and manner more.”

He was riling her up again!!

“Even if I’m less beautiful than you, I’m still the number one beauty.”

“And who did you buy that from?”

He was still a foul-mouth!!

But...but he was pretty. So she would forgive him.

“Stop daydreaming and follow benwang.” He ignored the strange gaze and odd remark from her. Ouyang Feilong walked forward, leading the woman who he had to accept that she was exceptionally beautiful today, though he had outwardly denied that she was not a beauty.

Ouyang Feilong had intended to speak to Bai Yu only a few words, after noticing her being unusually quiet after her performance ended. This was their first time meeting after he took off the mask that he had put on since he was twelve. He rarely took it off in front of other people, he even wore it to the battlefield.

What he wanted to conceal was not his beautiful appearance. Rather, it was the appearance that had a substantial impact on the court. And even so, Ouyang Hongxian, the Emperor and his brother, liked it more when he did not wear the mask.

He had been wearing it because he knew his mother did not want to see this face. Every time she looked at her youngest son, hatred would well up inside her.

The older he became, the more that hatred grew. Empress Dowager Wei had told him when he was a child that this beautiful face was a hateful sight!

Ouyang Feilong never understood why his mother hated his face. But Ouyang Hongxian knew everything best, and he never objected to his brother wearing the dragon mask. Even he had hoped that with Ouyang Feilong’s face covered up, their mother would summon him more. In the end, the mask never helped.

What happened before his return to the border forced Ouyang Feilong to face the harsh truth that whether it was his face or his dragon mask, his mother hated to see them all the same!

It was as if the black dragon was freed from the unattainable dream.

Today, Ouyang Feilong no longer wanted to wear a mask. Thus, Empress Dowager Wei did not come to this banquet.

It was unsurprising to see Bai Yu change from calmness to astonishment when she saw the face under the mask. Still, how she ended up with that strange gaze and demeanor was a mystery to Ouyang Feilong.

The commander general knew that he was more beautiful than normal men. But there was also no one who was brave enough to praise his appearance to his face before. The sternness in his golden eyes could shut them up before the first word could be uttered, even when the other person had yet to know his identity.

But these eyes did not work on the woman in front of him. She still could openly admire him without a trace of shame!

“Walk properly.” The foolish woman walked like she was going to crash into him again. Her face changed between a peculiar grin and a neutral expression. Where did the gracefulness that Miss Bai Yu has always shown to the public go?

“What do you use to take care of your skin?” Despite being a man, his skin was smooth. If she got skincare tips from him, she could guarantee that everyone in the capital would become a beauty.

“I guess kneeling in her room for one shichen was not enough for Miss Bai.”

Big brother! What did you tell this man?!

“Yu-er was rude. Wangye please be merciful” The wiles and charms that he so hated were immediately put to use by her. Ouyang Feilong silently thought that it was too late, and Bai Yu herself also knew that.

A while ago, there was no way for her to know who he was. The smooth skin and clear, pretty face had captivated her, who was obsessed with beauty and made her forget putting on the act of a refined young lady. Although Bai Yu had made up her mind that she would follow her mother’s lesson when she got punished, that she would be soft and reserved in front of Ouyang Feilong. But at the moment they met, she was rude to him again!

Bai Yu deeply inhaled, calling forth bravery and shamelessness. She straightened her back and put her hands over each other in a mannerly pose. Her face slightly lowered as she used a sickly sweet voice to speak. She looked almost like a different person from the one who was pointing at Ouyang Feilong moments ago.

“Wangye ordered me to come here, is something the matter?” She suppressed the urge to glance at that beautiful face of Ouyang Feilong which now returned to indifference. She feared that she would unconsciously call him ‘pretty Wangye’ and cause problems again.

“So you don’t want to know a secret trick from benwang anymore?” He raised his brow.

She wanted to! But with that kind of look, who would be shameless enough to continue asking. She could only act innocent and continue to change the topic, not caring how Ouyang Feilong seemed to be satisfied to see her changing her personality back and forth.

“It was Yu-er’s momentary lapse of judgment. Wangye please do not mind.” Now that he gave her a chance to fake it, she would continue to do so. Faking was her specialty, even though it would result in being mocked or seen as a joke by him.

“What kind of woman are you, really?” The light golden eyes studied the woman who always acted refined and graceful despite often being foolish, childish, and stubborn in front of him.

“Obviously, Yu-er is Yu-er, Your Highness.” She did not know what kind of answer he wanted from her. But she was who she was; if he had a problem with that, would he want her to be his instead? Hehe.

“Forget it.” He flatly ended the conversation, though still irked by the strange smile from Bai Yu. “You come stand beside benwang.”

Bai Yu walked toward him as if in a daze. In fact, she was in a daze. The villainess was imagining the beautiful Wangye and her kind big brother. The two fighting side-by-side in battle...

“Miss Bai” The deeper voice signaled the black dragon’s patience nearing its limit.

“Yes, Your Highness,” Bai Yu drawled before moving away from him. A while ago she was so preoccupied with her thoughts that she stood too close to him. She straightened her back to stand stably next to the other person. His beautiful face turned the other way, toward where the banquet was being held.
