160 Extra Chapter Part I

I want to be Qin Wang Fei when I grow up!

Xu Peipei had been reciting those words before she even knew their meaning. Ever since she could remember, her brother, mother, and father all expected her to become Qin Wang Fei. Xu Peipei was a beautiful and obedient lady, so she wholeheartedly believed them and aspired to become Qin Wang Fei!

After she could understand what ‘Qin Wang Fei’ was, she knew what she had to do to accomplish that dream. It was not overly difficult or complicated since she herself quite liked the title. Her brother and her parents told her that Qin Wang was a handsome man of good lineage, a perfect match for her. Furthermore, the prince would help her Xu family prosper further.

It might be because of shyness that Qin Wang rarely spoke to her. Still, Xu Peipei was never discouraged from remaining near him. She was happy every time Wangye talked with a calm, emotionless tone which, reflected the quality of royalty who must keep their emotions under control. Her Qin Wang clearly excelled at this!

She grew up possessing both grace and beauty. Her most prized feature was the first rate, and not even that silly Bai miss could compare: Her overflowing bosom!

Her brother had told her that this would make her a good broodmare, so Xu Peipei proudly displayed it without feeling embarrassed.

Qin Wang never cast a glance toward her fullness at all, but that was because he was a well-mannered gentleman! Instead, her rival for the title of Qin Wang Fei, Miss Bai Yu, kept staring at it. That must be a sign of her victory.

Eventually, the stupid Bai Yu gave up because she could not compete with her bosom. Heh!

Xu Peipei felt that Bai Yu was a foolish woman for letting go of Qin Wang. And for the sake of her foolishness, Xu Peipei was kind enough to go on a little excursion with her. For the better or worse, they were good friends in the eyes of the public. However, it was strange that her brother enjoyed spending time with that dumb woman. Xu Peipei had nothing else to do, so she tagged along. Though sometimes unwilling, she was generous enough to talk to her former rival.

.....

In order to be the perfect Qin Wang Fei, she must be as generous as the size of her bosom! “Hi! Little sis.”

“Weirdo.” Xu Peipei grimaced at the Bai miss, who had taken to using strange words lately.

“I want you to teach me how to sew,” Bai Yu said to her brother.

“Isn’t your needlework already fine enough?” Her beautiful brother replied sweetly.

“I want to make it look as good as yours.”

“Impossible,” she immediately blurted out. Even if she spent her whole life practicing, a stupid woman like Bai Yu could never come close to her brother. No, she could not even compare to her.

“Your skill is not that much better than hers, Pei-er.”

“Brother!”

——————

She must have patience, as her brother had told her to so that she could be ready for her title as Qin Wang Fei, even though the training that ensued was highly demeaning to her pride.

“Why do I have to do this?!” A high-pitched voice was heard as she plopped down next to the bed of the sleeping person. The corner of her mouth curved down into a clear grimace, uncaring whether someone would see her acting this unladylike… She was bored! Training martial arts until her legs gave out was better than taking care of a patient who could not speak nor talk!

“Sleeping like this must be much better than staying at the border, huh?” Bored, she turned to complain to the unconscious person. “…I want to go to the border too, but Brother said the sunlight there would damage my skin. I’ll be a fool if I go there,” Xu Peipei continued, completely ignoring the fact that the man next to her could not give a single reply… She could talk to herself just fine!

“But look at your skin!” She quickly took his wrist, thinking nothing of her action as she had helped wipe his body many times already. There was no longer embarrassment or shyness. Furthermore, this man was not Qin Wang, and he was unconscious. She had no need to maintain her manner. “…Much darker than mine.” Then, she put her arm next to his to compare the skin colors… Obviously, hers was much lighter.

Indeed, Bai He was a soldier who trained under the sun, unlike a sheltered young lady like her.

Even with the perfect argument, Bai He could say nothing. How could a sleeping person say anything? “Should I apply some herbs to help with your skin?”

“…”

“Your sister and my brother are busy with the new line of clothes. I’ve already done my part, so I don’t have to get involved with them. I’ll play with you instead.”

Her big brother loved beauty above all else. He had a mountain of herbal skincare. Giving some to Master Bai would not be too troublesome. Xu Peipei was a generous woman. Feel my gratitude, stupid Bai Yu.

——————-

“Little sis, what are you doing?” The question came in an unnaturally high-pitched voice from the owner of this building, which she had invaded.

“Have you washed your face yet?” Xu Peipei knew that it was her brother’s voice, but she refused to answer and refused to look at his face for fear that she would be faced with the face with no make-up that had scared her silly once.

“No.” Xu Luanle stared at his sister. Xu Peipei turned to glance at her brother before going back to focusing on the herbs in front of her. “So what are you doing in my place?”

After regularly going to Bai Yu’s place, it had been a while since Xu Peipei last came here, yet today his obedient little sister was rummaging through his herb stash.

“I’m finding some herbs for skincare.” The invader did not look at the owner’s face. “Brother has lots of herbs that can help with skin problems. I’m taking some of those.”

Xu Luanle’s eyes widened as he watched his sister take a handful of herbs out and put them in a neat bundle. This again! This kind of situation… “You!”

“Brother is a man! What do you need these herbs for?” Xu Peipei ignored all of her brother’s protests. She turned around to face Xu Luanle, her hand holding up the fabric bundle containing the herbs she had selected herself. “…Please share these with me.”

In truth, her claim was flawed. These herbs were going to be used on a man, too. Still, those words came out of habit. No matter what she asked for, Xu Luanle always stood by and never stopped her.

Her brother might like to tease her a lot, but he would always spoil her in the end.

——————-

Getting to know Bai Yu with Xu Luanle as the middle person further confirmed Xu Peipei’s suspicion that Bai Yu was not a bright woman. When put next to her, Miss Bai was completely overshadowed. That was why Xu Peipei showed her kindness yet again by not participating in the Meihua Lady competition since she would no doubt win if she competed.

“Why are you here?” Her ex-rival asked her.

“And why are you?” Xu Peipei would never back down.

“You should be at Xu Mansion.”

“And you should be at Bai Mansion.”

“Xu Peipei!”

“Bai Yu!”

“Ugh! Sis!” Xu Luanle snapped his fan shut and knocked it on the two women’s foreheads. That hurts, brother! “What are you bickering for? Come help me sew!”

“You too!” Bai Yu could not win against her, so she changed the target to her brother. Laughable. “I’ve moved back to Bai Mansion and you never showed up there. Who would’ve known you’ve been cooped up here?!”

Xu Luanle shrugged. “Can’t help it. The atmosphere’s good. The security’s great. Especially when you’re not here, everything is very peaceful.”

“Then why don’t you stay at your own house?!”

“I’m the one who asked Le-er and Pei-er to stay here.” At Bai Furen’s words, Xu Peipei lifted her chin, feeling victorious… Stay a loser, Miss Bai.

Bai Yu had moved back to Bai Mansion, though she still frequently came back. Truthfully, she should not be here without Bai Yu, but her brother still remained in Yue Mansion and told her to continue training herself. The training, which she had almost forgotten that the objective of taking care of Bai He was to build her patience.

On top of forgetting her original purpose, Xu Peipei also felt a strange feeling. The first time was when Bai Hua said that there was a way to treat Bai He. She was elated and fully willing to tell that woman everything about the unconscious man’s condition. And she could explain it in such precise detail that she surprised herself.

The second time was when she saw the closeness between the female doctor and the sleeping patient. Xu Peipei was frustrated, even though this was a part of his treatment. She could not help feeling angry at the sight of Bai Hua coming close to Bai He.

“How long is she going to stay here?!”
