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.
He could tell by a single glance that it would be the case with them. He could also tell that Shi Jie was truly a masochist deep down but Ma Mingli was too scared to take the lead or explore deeper.
'No wonder this girl is a pervert. The genes in the family run wild.'
Noah just shook his head silently and took a sip of the tea to calm himself.
Ma Li did not lift her head up but kept looking at the floor with a tomato red face.
'Why did I say all of that! He would think I am a pervert now!! He will hate me for being a pervert!! Agh!! I want to die!!'
Ma Li panicked and berated herself in her mind as she started thinking of the Image where Noah looked at her with a disgusted look on his face but somehow that look made her feel giddy.
She shook her head removing all the perverted thoughts from her mind and looked at Noah.
"Let me give you a tour of our place while our mothers enjoy their time."
Noah thought and agreed to her suggestion, it was better than to just listen to her awkward conversation and he knew very well that Xin Yan would take her time after all she finally found someone to talk about her gardening skills with.
He could also feel the qi sense locked on their location for a long time.
It was none other than Shi Jie who had been keeping an eye on them while she was with Xin Yan outside. This was also the reason she came at the right time and interrupted her husband as.
She wanted her daughter to deepen her relationship with the boy and Noah naturally could guess that.
"Yes, let's go."
With a smile, Ma Li got up and led Noah towards the exit of the room. She led Noah through the hallway towards different rooms and halls.
She also showed some of the expensive art works in their mansion to Noah. Noah calmly looked at everything and absorbed the information she was telling him.
He did not have any knowledge about artwork or anything like that, call him uncultured or ignorant but he never found them alluring. It's not that he hated or anything, it's just that he did not understand it.
"This is our main hall. Where all the formal meetings are held. This is also the room father attends most of his work or hide form mother "
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!'
