Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 246 - 246 may the best man win



She looked at the box of ointment and then at Zhai Heng who was watching her put the ointment on her skin, she thought that he was waiting for her to hand the ointment back to him which was why she immediately closed her fingers around the box of cooling ointment and then looked at him with slightly stubborn expression as she said, ” This is going to be mine now. Since you have given it to me oh so generously, I will keep it.”

Zhai Heng looked at the woman who was not only stealing from him but she was doing it with a bandit-like confidence, were all women like this? He thought but then he shook his head and then refuted his own notion after all there was no way there was any other woman like Liu Hui Ying.

” You can keep it if you want your majesty, I have many ointments like these if you want you can always ask me to send some more,” Zhai Heng did not even know when he ended up acting so generously all he knew was that one second he was chasing after Liu Hui Ying because he wanted to confront her and then the next second he was offering her all the ointments that he had in his store.

Was his brain rotten? One box of this ointment was more than fifty taels!

” Really, you are really going to hand me all of your ointment?” Liu Hui Ying did not think much at this juncture all she saw was that she will be able to get a solution to these annoying rashes that broke over her skin every time she touched a man, though she was in no mood to touch a man but at least having a backup to avoid any sort of problem like this was still better than nothing!

” I can,” It was already too late for Zhai Heng to say that he will not be handing the ointments to Liu Hui Ying which was why he could only nod and agree with her. What was up with him? Why was he playing according to the tune of the queen? Why was he not going against her? Were his brains flooded or was he the one who was getting fooled by the queen?

He did not have anything to say at the moment, all he could do was simply stay silent and watch the queen direct the course of the conversation in a manner he simply did not expect it to go at all!

.....

He was being led around by the nose so easily that if Zhai Tianyu was there he would have called his big brother for being too much of a dog and fought with him.

This man was acting all high and mighty in front of him but when he was alone with Liu Hui Ying, he was caring for her by handing her a cooling ointment. Why don’t you just bark for her?

Fortunately for Zhai Heng, his brother had no idea about what he was doing and thus, he was able to escape the label of ‘dog’ being stuck in his head.

Liu Hui Ying was very happy when she heard that she will get an endless supply of ointment even Zhai Heng who looked like a big bad wolf with a scar on his face turned a bit … good-looking in her eyes.

“Let’s go,” she turned to look at Zhai Heng who was standing next to her, earlier she was thinking of getting this man away from her but now that he has offered her some of this good ointment that he carried with him, she will give him a chance to learn how to investigate cases from her.

The fact that he and his team couldn’t even investigate something so small as Zhai Chenguang’s case it was simply too…. Pathetic.

??

It was better for them to learn from an expert like her!

Zhai Heng did not know that the reason Liu Hui Ying was bringing him along with her was that she thought his investigation skills were too poor, he only thought that she was bringing him with her because she wanted to rely on him a little, he was immediately gratified and agreed with what she said and complied to her orders as he followed her as she left the courtyard.

Li Gang who was watching the man leave with Liu Hui Ying was stunned, his mouth dropped open and then turned to look at Jia Li and Grandma Lan Fen as he said, ” Are you two not going to stop this? Whatever this is?”

He was a man and even though he was a man who died without a girlfriend, he was very much eager to find one and taste the sweet fruit of love, so of course he understood the gazes with which Zhai Heng and Zhai Tianyu looked at Liu Hui Ying.

He never once expected that someone like Liu Hui Ying who was so boorish and rude would get two men chasing after her like dogs who were salivating over bones. He stretched out his hand and then pointed to Zhai Heng and exasperatedly said, ” I thought that you two were rooting for that Emperor guy? Is he not good enough for you two now?”

Jia Li looked at him like he was an idiot and said, ” What can a straight guy like you even know? It’s all about slow burn and passion, the more passionate one will win!”

” That’s right, may the best man win,” said Grandma Lan Fen as she took out a packet of rice crackers and looked at Jia Li with a smile. ” Would you like rice crackers? I have popcorn too.”

‘ May the best man win? You two are clearly taking this entire thing as a drama!’Li Gang the straight man suddenly realized that women were ruthless.
