The bustling sidewalk were filled with walking people. The hawkers were offering and selling different product to them while using the most enticing voice they can muster just to earn. Some people stopped in the stalls because they were interested or because they want to buy or just see what's going on.
This was what Li Yun saw from the viewing mirror of the car he was now seating while trying to keep calm from the man seating beside him while it passed the streets. He can't help but remember that things that happened yesterday.
" Xiao Ning, in the bag, that's the things you will need for becoming me... You'll know what it is once you opened it. You should wear them because any day from now,... *cough* Mr. Mu will visit our home to fetch you that become me."
Li Yun opened the bag and what appeared were silicone breast, a bra, a pencil skirt, a blouse, a purse with a lipstick, eyebrow pencil and foundation and an auburn colored wig.
" S-Sister, are you really sure what we're about to do?! How abou my schooling? I'm about to graduate in a few weeks, ah. "
Bai Xuan's eyes were soon filled with tears. She disappointingly noddedand with her weak visage, she said with determination, "If you want to help our family, you know what to do... *cough* I promise that once this ends, I'll let you be anything that you wanted to be, Xiao Ning. "
As if to stop Li Yun's airheadness, Mu Zi Lei coughed to get his attention which he successfully got.
" Ms. Bai, were almost there."
The car suddenly stopped and as if in a cue, Mu Zi Lei got off from the car, get on the other side and opened Li Yun's door. He offered his hand and Li Yun quickly grasped it as if he was a lady with a fine lineage.
System: "..." A lady with a fine lineage?! Ahahahaha.~
Li Yun was now surrounded by maids and butlers. They were neatly lined up as they greet the man in front of him that was exuding his manliness in every step, Mu Zi Lei.
" Ms.Bai, are you now...all right? " Mu Zi Lei asked with concern as he 'worriedly' held Li Yun's hands.
Li Yun smiled and gently nodded. He was balancing himself on the two inch high heels that he currently wore. He was now itching to undress himself and get free from the white blouse and pencil skirt he was wearing.
Yes, he was cross-dressing as Bai Xuan. It was said that he didn't follow the Plot God's wishes by showing himself here.
According to the real storyline, he should not be bothered with Bai Xuan and just continue to live as himself. He should also graduate from the university and worked on his dream job as an accountant and while he was on the way for promotion, he was suddenly fired at the company he was working because of Qing Yue that was pulling strings from the background. He tried to find another job by being a warehouse clerk and was accepted, but he suffered greatly because of unreasonable orders by his co-workers. It even came to a point that his lecherous general manager harassed him. He had no choice but to resign and go to the company his father wanted him to manage but unfortunately, the company that he should inherit from his father after graduating from who knows when was bankcrupt! It was because of the unreliable person his father entrusted to take care of the company by his behalf by selling the company secrets to the competitor and its corrupted members so he decided to sell it and it was unknowingly bought by Mu Zi Lei in a low price as a gift for Qing Yue.
As months passed by, his sister recovered from her attacks by using the money he earned by selling the company but soon, Bai Xiao Ning's situation turned into worse because they heard that his father who was currently visiting a country to invest as their last hope to get out from this messwas killed on the way.
If only Bai Xiao Ning agreed to cross-dressed and swallow his manly pride, nothing bad will happen to their soon to collapse family business and their beloved father.
Li Yun: Ha...Ha...
Qing Yue who was currently fondling the roses stopped when she heard that Mu Zi Lei was now back. She gazed at the other ladies who was enjoying the flowers and smiled at them.
The ladies stiffened and stopped on their business. They were laughing and chatting earlier but the atmosphere greatly change because of her dazzling smile.
A smile that was not a smile.
They know that Qing Yue was a schemer and a back-stabbing b*tch. She made her friend, Bai Xuan suffer asthma attacks by putting lavender flowers on her flower basket on a certain day. They were all aware that Bai Xuan was allergic to it but the b*tch reasoned out to the handsome Master, Mu Zi Lei that she didn't know it. She said that it was very pretty and decided to give some to Bai Xuan. The Master merely smiled and let it slide. They were all thinking to properly back-out from this and willingly have their memories wiped out by hypnotism.
They were elite ladies that were approached secretly by Master Mu's men. They can concede defeat and return to their families by reasoning out that they only had a vacation, break or an all girls camping that taked them long to come back. They know that they can't attain the wealth and power of Mu Clan because of Qing Yue. They were ten wife candidates but as the days passed, one by one, other ladies were disqualified because of being arrogant, troublemaking and being egoistic. The three turned their head to each other and reached a consensus. Later, they will all concede defeat and returned to their rich and normal lifestyle. This place was a living hell but the prizes were alluring. You don't only get a fake husband, you can also use your identity as his wife to control the wealth and power of the clan. But what is wealth and power if their lives were at stake?
Yes, someone died three days prior. The cause was the victim fell from the terrace but the suspect didn't know someone saw it and kept the secret with her other two friends. She told to her friends that Qing Yue was the one who pushed the lady at the terrace and after doing it, she saw her chilling smile.
The other two once they heard it made up on their minds that their life was more important than to attain the prizes on this fake wife position.
The three: *sigh*
Li Yun arrived at the fabled rose garden with Mu Zi Lei. The garden was very beutiful and it was also where once many beautiful ladies where once chatting and laughing until it was reduced one by one.
Bai Xuan was a cold person but once you know her, she was very warm unlike Qing Yue, she was very warm to you when she had motives but once she attained it or you don't have use for her anymore, she will disposed you for her own good.
Li Yun was now left alone at the entrance of the garden after being left by Mu Zi Lei because of his important business. He know that once he entered the fudging garden, the female lead will be shocked by his appearance so he decided to went to the music room. He let an idle maid lead him to the room to escaped the "warmth" of Qing Yue.
Why the music room?
If you asked Li Yun about it, he will grab a banana split and throw it at your face while saying:
"Are you serious?! " Of course, it was to lead that man out of his den and let the ship progress forward!
What kind of reader will Li Yun be if he didn't know that the so called important business of Mu Zi Lei was just to look at some sketches of a cute young bun adorned with smiles on his study?
FYI, that Chapter 38 reference of «Cherry and Plum Blossoms» manhua for you!
Li Yun grabbed a zither and put it at its stand. He sat and plucked a few strings while hoping that the male lead will passed by according to the script and once getting the right rhythm and momentum, he played a piece that reminds him of his real world.
Mu Zi Lei, contrary to his serious expression was a lover of ancient chinese music particularly a zither performance. He occasionaly went to the same music room and played zither by himself.
On the same time, Qing Yue was going to the music room because she knows that the general often went there at the exact same time everyday to play zither but she was stopped by the head maid because Mu Zi Lei was going inside.
Qing Yue pouted because her first plan failed on near completion for having a fated accidental meeting with the commander near the music room. Well, there was another plan which impressing the commander with her zither playing skills and by doing that, she will surely get his attention and soon adoration and thinking of this, she quickly erased her frown with a smile while walking away.
' Mu Zi Lei, you'll be mine! Bai Xuan, you suffering attacks was just the beggining. I'll soon make your family pay because your father harrased my mother! '
[System, did the fudging girl leaved?]
----[Yes, host.~~ Continue with your performance~. I didn't thought the skills you acquired from the last world was still in you.~~]
Li Yun smiled while continuing to plucked his desired notes. He know that this event was originally Qin Yue's... But sorry, for his dear life, his Lapiz, his BL goodies, his friend and campus prince, he will do anything to complete his mission -for him to return to the real world as soon as possible.
[ I still wondered... why put some effort just to find a fake wife? Mu Zi Lei can made a random woman be hypnotized and be his fake wife instead, right? or made a deal out of convenience to her? ]
System: "...." Ask him not me, okay?
