Chapter 147: Chapter 147: MA LI!!!
Seeing the man walking out of the room like a deflated balloon, Noah could not help but turn to look at Ma Li and ask in concern.
"Is he going to be alright?"
"Him, oh! Don't worry about him. He is just like that, he will be fine in a few minutes otherwise mom will make it up to him at night."
As she said those words Ma Li realized what she had just spoken and covered her face hurriedly.
Ma Li got so engrossed in her conversation that she forgot that this was the first time she had met Noah. Talking about her parents' nightlife in front of a stranger that too a boy made her blush hard.
"Ho~ so you peek at them?" Seeing that expression, Noah could not help but tease her with a wide grin on his face.
Ma Li panicked and looked around to see that the servants were not there in the room anymore and sighed in relief.
"Don't say that! I don't peek! I am not a pervert!"
She refuted with a sharp glare trying to scare Noah but unlike her father Noah was not a wimpy guy who would be dazed by a mere glare.
Ma Li could not maintain her composure, seeing his sharp and composed look. She looked down at her feet while she started to spill all of the beans.
"I heard father and mother once I passed by the city hall."
Noah, who was simply playing with her, did not think that she would really sell out her parents like that, that too in front of someone she just met.
"Father was groaning and mother seemed to be enj-"
"Stop!"
Seeing that the girl kept going on like a broken record Noah realized even though this girl acted proper and cold, she was a true pervert. Even though he did not know the level of her pervertedness, he knew it was not low.
He hurriedly stopped her not wanting to hear about other people's sex life. Had he not stopped he might have regretted learning too many details about her father being a masochist while his mother being dominatrix.
Hearing the familiar voice of her daughter coming from the outside, Ma Mingli looked up from his work towards the door. Hearing the last sentence he could not help but feel his lips twitch in annoyance.
'Isn't she talking too much in front of an outsider.'
How could he not sense that she deliberately increased her voice so he could hear her.
"That is my Incompetent father.." Upon entering the main Hall, Ma Li made a sarcastic remark that made the city lord to clench his grip on the brush he was holding.
*Crack*
Not being able to bear the strength of the grip, the brush snapped into two. He looked up to meet the gaze of his 'filial' daughter smiling 'warmly' at him.
Feeling the sharp gaze of her father, Ma Li showed him her tongue before pulling Noah outside the room.
"Let's go or we might be punished by the weeping whip as well."
Ma Li's bell-like laughter echoed in the hall, showing her childish nature, Ma Mingli was surprised to see his cold and unapproachable daughter like that with an outsider.
A smile appeared on his face, seeing her genuinely happy face.
'I will tolerate her words for now.'
Shaking his head, he looked down back at his work.
"..."
"MA LI!!!!"
Seeing the ink spread all over the important document, the city lord roared in anger. Gu Jin stayed in his place beside the city lord holding his breath.
'I am air, don't look for me. I am air!'
