Gu Baizhi didn't hear the servants' words clearly, only vaguely hearing who Qin Muxue was going to marry and why. It was normal; after all, a powerful woman like Qin Muxue, with such illustrious military achievements, was the only one who would marry someone else. This might not mean much to others, but for Gu Baizhi, it was incredibly good news. At least she knew Qin Muxue's sexual orientation was normal. Then Qin Muxue's previous inappropriate behavior towards her might simply be due to the influence of her alluring charm.
As long as Qin Muxue's sexual orientation is normal, even though she has a master-slave contract with her, as long as she suppresses her seductive nature and doesn't let Qin Muxue lose her mind when she sees her, her most important asset—her chastity—can definitely be preserved while she's by her side. Besides, since Qin Muxue is going to marry someone else, she certainly won't have the time or energy to control her with the master-slave contract. Therefore, the master-slave contract becomes meaningless.
Gu Baizhi felt even happier immediately, her mood instantly improving. For the first time in many days, she smiled. Servants around her noticed her smile and were instantly captivated, their gazes fixed on her. Gu Baizhi, however, paid no attention to them, calmly and peacefully eating her breakfast. Although she was in a female body with a male soul, Gu Baizhi's movements as she ate her rice were incredibly elegant, every gesture alluring.
Just as Gu Baizhi finished breakfast and was about to go back to her room to rest, a maid stopped her.
"Miss Gu, Princess Qin has instructed that you will be in charge of her daily life from now on."
"Ah... okay..."
Gu Baizhi was speechless. She was a married woman, yet she was being made to personally take care of her daily needs. Wouldn't it be better to let her own husband take care of her and strengthen their relationship? But speechless as she was, she had no choice but to do it, given that she had signed a master-slave contract with Qin Muxue.
Gu Baizhi arrived at Qin Muxue's room and gently knocked on the door.
Qin Muxue responded from inside the room, saying, "Please come in."
Gu Baizhi pushed open the door and entered. Qin Muxue had already gotten out of bed, wearing only a bodice and a gauze undergarment that outlined her stunning figure. Gu Baizhi blushed and her heart raced at the sight. Similarly, Qin Muxue required the servants to dress Gu Baizhi up every day. Seeing the exquisitely dressed and incredibly beautiful Gu Baizhi made Qin Muxue's heart pound wildly.
"How would you like me to take care of your daily life?" Gu Baizhi asked.
Qin Muxue simply smiled, then put her legs down on the bed and gently swayed them along the edge. She then got out of bed, stood up, and slowly walked towards Gu Baizhi.
What do you want to do?
Gu Baizhi was a little scared at this moment and took a step back.
The more Gu Baizhi retreated, the closer Qin Muxue moved, quickly cornering Gu Baizhi against the wall. Qin Muxue ruffled Gu Baizhi's hair and stroked her slender waist.
"I didn't expect you to accept it so quickly," Qin Muxue said as she gently placed her hand on Gu Baizhi's face.
"What do you mean by accepting or not accepting? I will never accept you forcing me to sign a contract," Gu Baizhi said, blushing.
"I don't care whether you accept it or not, but I told you before that you can only use one title when you see me. Have you forgotten?" Qin Muxue said with a hint of sarcasm.
"You're forcing me..." Gu Baizhi's voice trailed off.
"I've said you're mine, and I can do whatever I want with you."
"Hmph, even so, I won't call you that," Gu Baizhi said, turning her head to the side with a hint of arrogance.
Qin Muxue didn't force the issue. After all, she was already satisfied to see Gu Baizhi recover from the grief of signing the master-slave contract yesterday and to see her pet canary become lively again. As for the canary still being so disobedient, Qin Muxue wasn't in a hurry, since she had plenty of time to train it later. Qin Muxue released Gu Baizhi, walked to the bed behind her, and sat down, exposing her back to Gu Baizhi.
"Help me comb my hair," Qin Muxue said coldly.
Gu Baizhi slowly approached Qin Muxue from behind. Just as she picked up the comb, Qin Muxue turned around.
"What's wrong? Didn't you say you were going to comb your hair? Why are you turning around?"
"Come to the bed and comb your hair."
One sentence left Gu Baizhi speechless. She hadn't expected that combing her hair would be so difficult. But she couldn't do anything about it, since she was currently living under someone else's roof, not to mention the shameful master-slave contract.
Gu Baizhi took off her shoes, slowly climbed onto the bed, and came up behind Qin Muxue.
"Can I comb it now?" Gu Baizhi asked, trying to calm herself down.
"Can"
Gu Baizhi gently lifted Qin Muxue's white hair with her hand. Qin Muxue's hair was of excellent quality—glossy, smooth, and beautiful—and quite long. Although it wasn't as long as Gu Baizhi's, reaching past her waist, it gave off a dignified aura. Picking up a comb, she gently combed downwards. The soft, delicate texture made combing the hair very comfortable for Gu Baizhi, and soon Qin Muxue's hair was smooth and silky.
"Help me change," Qin Muxue said coldly, seemingly casually, but it was actually something she had planned all along.
Gu Baizhi froze for a moment. Although she had expected Qin Muxue to ask her to help her change clothes, she was still a little embarrassed and wanted to refuse when she was actually asked to do it.
"You can change it yourself, you're not a child anymore..." Gu Baizhi said, blushing.
"Are you disobeying your master's orders?" Qin Muxue asked with a slightly amused tone.
"You...you're going too far," Gu Baizhi said, blushing and feeling wronged.
"I'm just bullying you, so what? So, are you going to switch or not?"
The familiar tone sent a shiver down Gu Baizhi's spine, and in the end, she chose to give in. She got out of bed, walked to the wardrobe, opened it, and was surprised to see the dazzling array of clothes, shoes, and jewelry inside. She looked at Qin Muxue helplessly.
"Just pick a few items," Qin Muxue said casually.
Gu Baizhi didn't think much about it and just picked out a dress at random.
"What about undergarments and bellybands?" Qin Muxue asked playfully.
"This...do you want me to help you change it too..." Gu Baizhi said shyly, her face flushed.
"Well, I'm used to having servants help me change, and I hope you can get used to these procedures too, since this will be your job from now on." Actually, Qin Muxue wasn't allowed to help change her undergarments and bodice, let alone watch. Having Gu Baizhi help her was purely to see her shy and adorable expression.
Gu Baizhi blushed as she took out her bodice and undergarments. She slowly walked back to the bedside and gently came up behind Qin Muxue.
Gu Baizhi's face was flushed crimson, almost radiating heat. With trembling hands, she removed Qin Muxue's undergarment and set it aside. Then, her hands, still trembling, touched the knot of Qin Muxue's bodice. She froze, completely stunned, as if rooted to the spot, hesitant to take the next step.
Unbeknownst to Gu Baizhi, the room was already filled with her innate alluring fragrance, and Qin Muxue's consciousness was gradually blurring because of this fragrance.
"How about this belly..."
Before Gu Baizhi could finish speaking, Qin Muxue pinned her down. Qin Muxue lifted Gu Baizhi's chin, the posture appearing extremely ambiguous.
"What...what do you want to do?"
