The Runaway Consort

I shrugged nonchalantly and said: “Let’s wait and see who submits to whom! However, I advise you not to be too confident, or you might find it hard to bear when you lose—”

“You…” Qi Chenxuan was provoked and couldn’t help glaring at me: “Do you dare to make a bet with me?”

I narrowed my eyes and coolly looked him over: “You’re not thinking of betting on who falls in love first, are you? Please, how unoriginal!”

“Who said I wanted to bet on that?” Qi Chenxuan’s disdainful voice came coldly, “Your imagination is truly too wild.”

I’m stunned!

I awkwardly pulled at the corner of my mouth, laughing stupidly: “I was just joking. Go ahead, what do you want to bet on?”

Qi Chenxuan raised an eyebrow triumphantly and said with a smile: “They say men handle external affairs and women manage the household. I want to bet whether you can manage the inner affairs of the prince’s mansion within three months!”

Manage the inner affairs?

Is he asking me to be a steward?

Damn, what a thought…

Betting with me, you’re doomed.

I rolled my eyes directly at him, responding impatiently: “Why would I bet on this? Are you bored? Or are you planning to pay me a salary?”

“Salary?” Qi Chenxuan frowned in confusion.

Oops! I forgot they don’t use that term in ancient times…

“Hehe—” I pulled at the corner of my mouth, laughing awkwardly: “I mean monthly stipend! So, how much are you planning to give me each month?”

Qi Chenxuan looked at me with disdain: “Woman, did you not see money in your previous life?”

I pouted and glared at him: “What’s wrong with that?”

Qi Chenxuan was somewhat impatient: “Forget it, I can’t be bothered arguing with you. Here’s the deal, if you win, I’ll give you double the monthly stipend, and if you lose…”

“What?” I raised an eyebrow and asked.

Qi Chenxuan slightly curled his lips and declared confidently: “This prince wants you to personally serve me for a month!” His expression suggested he was certain he would win!

I shook my head without hesitation…

“You don’t want to bet?” Qi Chenxuan was somewhat surprised!

“Wrong!” I corrected him with a smile: “I’ll bet, but I want to change the terms!”
