“Haven’t thought of it yet, next time! Maybe next time I see you, I’ll make my little Lingier my little wife!” Brother Chu laughed mischievously, his eyes revealing an inexplicable smile, feeling like he had her in his grasp.
“Brother Chu, if you really do that, I’ll just go ahead and slam into a wall!” She definitely didn’t want to marry this guy, who was never seen properly. Just thinking about it gave her goosebumps.
“Tsk tsk, don’t resist so fiercely. Maybe you’ll fall in love with me soon! But don’t fall in love with me; I’m someone who likes the new and dislikes the old!” Brother Chu touched Lan Lingier’s cheek, amused by her skin quality. What top-grade rouge and powder did she use?
“Ugh, disgusting! Your face is thicker than a wall!”
“Remove your obscene hand; this young lady is not to be bullied!” He appeared proper yet acted shamelessly, unworthy of that black cloth.
“Alright, since the bet is settled, I’ll take my leave. Goodbye, my little Lingier…” Brother Chu smiled and vanished into the twilight.
“What speed! Genius!” Lan Lingier admired Brother Chu’s voice but felt dejected, realizing she would need a few days to recover from her internal injury.
The Mingjun Wang Mansion was festive, adorned with red ribbons. Today was the day Mingjun Wang was marrying Miss Mu Rong, and the entire mansion was joyfully preparing in an orderly manner.
Opening the door, he was met not with floral fragrance but the scent of books. He did not particularly enjoy reading but had grown accustomed to isolating himself in this room when he had no one to talk to. Over time, his knowledge expanded, and his father, the emperor, began to value him more, though he still felt empty inside.
“Knock knock!” The closed door opened quietly.
“Nanny, is there something?” He lowered his head, sitting at the desk, aware that no one could enter without his permission except for his nanny.
“Your Highness, the bride has arrived. Please welcome the bride-to-be!”
Gui Nanny smiled softly, her eyes brimming with tears. She had not disappointed the lady, having raised the prince and helped him marry the noble Miss Mu Rong, which moved her deeply.
