Holding Onto My Man Chapter 21 part3

The sudden stop of his struggle woke Qin Shitian up a bit. He who was only intimate to his disciple actually kissed another boy, and it even felt pretty good. This left him somewhat baffled and vexed.

Although he’s bloodthirsty, ruthless and sinister, he’s in fact very passionate and will only focus on one person.

Otherwise, it’s impossible for him not to have a single concubine in the back courtyard with his identity as Mozong’s sect leader. He liked Mo Haige for so long, it’s impossible that his feelings will change* just from a kiss that was pretty good.

*change of affection, shift of love (idiom)

To fall in love with someone else

The anger dissipated and he became clear minded again. Looking at Gu Bai who’s gasping with flushed cheeks, he found out that some part of his body was as hard as iron and stood tall. He pushed him away with a stiff expression.

Gu Bai was immersed in the familiar feeling just now and didn’t pay attention, he accidentally fell to the ground. Qin Shitian looked at him and his heart suddenly tightened. He wants to help him but forced himself to hold back. His head is slightly messed up at the moment.

He caught sight of the jade pieces that he prepared to give to Mo Haige fall out of Gu Bai’s bosom. His body turned rigid and he pursed his lips.

”Why did you pick up the broken pieces of the jade pendant?”

Gu Bai regained his conscience at this moment. He looked at that man’s sullen face and couldn’t gauge his current mood. He bowed his head and spoke softly.

”This was personally hand carved by sect leader, it’s the most precious thing in the whole world, I want to stick it back together….young sect leader will understand sect leader’s heart one day!”

At the end, he added another sentence. Qin Shitian is temperamental, but Mo Haige is his weakness when it comes to bootlicking. There won’t be any faults as long as Mo Haige is used in the talk.

But who knew that man would be so strange today. The flatter became an offence*, that sentence instantly brought back the fury that Mo Haige provoked before. Qin Shitian couldn’t help but crush the broken pieces on the ground into powder with one strike and spoke in anger.

”Don’t bother with broken things!”

”……..”

Gu Bai didn’t speak, Qin Shitian is emotionally unstable right now, even the weakness to Mo Haige is no longer useful. If he says something wrong again, the other person might kill him.

But his heart bled in pity looking at the jade pendant that turned into powder. Big bro, that’s a Eternal Jadeite, it’s still a treasure even though it’s broken….

He caught a glimpse of the expression on his face that seemed to be distressed over the jade pendant. There was an odd feeling in Qin Shitian’s heart. He thought of the sentence that Gu Bai just said, ‘This was personally hand carved by sect leader, it’s the most precious thing in the whole world’ and his heart became burning hot for a moment.

”You withdraw, starting tomorrow, you go do things at the weaponry hall, no need to come over to benzun!”

He secretly clenched his fist and suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, striving to maintain a calm appearance.

When he made this decision, he completely didn’t expect how regretful he will be in the future. He pushed out the fat from the corners of his mouth*, regretful and resentful everyday for countless times.

*is this supposed to be a pout? pursed lips? puffed cheeks?

_(:ì」∠)_

Seeing his gloomy expression and also at the height of his anger, Gu Bai naturally didn’t dare to stroke his bad luck. He responded with “Yes, sect leader*” and quickly withdrew.

*遵命 Yes, sir/obey your command/do as you say
