Chapter 89b: Nangong Chen Turned Up Uninvited
Coming even closer, Nangong Chen became even more moved by Luo Qing Luan’s lucid and elegant, stunning appearance. Once he thought of the possibility sometime in the future of embracing a pair of beauties at his chest, that kind of pleasure simply excited him endlessly. He was even somewhat impatient to speak.
“Today, This Prince especially came to find Younger Sister Qing Luan. How could I have taken a wrong turn?”
Nangong Chen smiled elegantly and gracefully, even taking out a folding fan that he prepared ahead of time and flipped it open before lightly fanning himself with it. “Just now, I heard Sister Qing Luan’s heavenly music, really like a celestial was playing, truly hard to come by. It’s no wonder Her Highness the Empress praises you so much.”
Such disgusting compliments. Just listening made Luo Qing Luan nauseated again. Her complexion darkened as she was going to leave. “I’m sorry, but there’s something I need to do, not free to greet you. Fifth Prince, please don’t stand on ceremony.”
“Sigh~~” Nangong Cheng’s figure moved and blocked in front of her, smiling. “What’s the rush, Sister Qing Luan, actually, I looked for you to talk about an important matter. Can’t you stay to hear me say what I need to say?”
“Fifth Prince and I seems to have nothing to talk about, right?” Speaking to this point, Luo Qing Luan suddenly said, “Can it be that Fifth Prince knows that I’m getting married soon, so you prepared to send me congratulatory gifts ahead of time? That’s good. I wonder what Fifth Prince has prepared to send, and how much?”
Her time was so very valuable. Since Nangong Chen won’t let go, and it’s also not possible for her to having someone beat him away, then there’s no harm in using this point to stop him then. If he’s got no other business, then he could scram, otherwise, he could obediently spit out some money.
Even though he was a bit surprised that Luo Qing Luan would say that, not only did Nangong Chen not mind, his eyes shone instead.
He was only afraid that he didn’t know how to move Luo Qing Luan. As long as she had any requests, he would surely satisfy her, to say nothing of a bit of money? What he did not lack the most was this.
Nangong Chen agreed without the slightest hesitation. “Sister Qing Luan is getting Since This Prince is your brother in law, I naturally will prepare a very big congratulatory gift.” Speaking to this point, he couldn’t help but laugh and took two steps forward with hand extended, unexpectedly lifting up Luo Qing Luan’s chin. “I just don’t know what kind of gift Sister Qing Luan would like?”
Fortunately, Luo Qing Luan was on guard to some extent and immediately stepped back to avoid him. Her complexion darkened as she replied angrily. “Fifth Prince, please have a bit of self respect. Don’t think that as my brother in law, you can get fresh with me. Please pay attention to your dignity. Men and women should maintain physical distance!”
He didn’t even get a chance to touch her before she avoided him. Nangong Chen felt very regretful, but the more he couldn’t get her, the more he was tempted.
Watching Luo Qing Luan’s angry yet pleasing appearance, almost opposite to the extremely fawning, obedient Luo Qing Shuang, he felt his heart itch unbearably. Nangong Chen wasn’t angry in the slightest and continued to smile like before, “Heh heh, I merely treat Sister Qing Luan as family, that’s all. Since you mind, then I’ll just stand farther away. This is better now, right?”
“Since there’s nothing else, then I’ll get going.” Eyes chilly, Luo Qing Luan was no longer in the mood to waste time with him.
“There is something. Sister Qing Luan, don’t be in such a rush.” Again blocking Luo Qing Luan from the front, Nangong Chen finally put on a serious face. “However, this matter is not ordinary at all. I’d like to trouble Younger Sister to come with me alone to a suitable place for us to properly talk about it? Oh right, when I return to my mansion later, I’ll make sure to have your congratulatory gift sent over. Does Sister Qing Luan feel that precious stones jewelry is good, or do you like antique calligraphy and painting? Or how about jade bracelets or rubies, pearls, these kinds of things are also possible, as long as you like them.”
She knew that if she didn’t make herself clear today, Nangong Chen most likely wouldn’t give up. Luo Qing Luan was also not afraid that he could do something. He wasn’t an expert like Nalan Ye. Forget about getting fresh with her, with a bit of her black out powder alone, Nangong Chen should be easily taken care of by her.
“Then fine. Since Fifth Prince is being considerate, let’s have a chat.” After she finished speaking, Luo Qing Luan turned her head around to command, “Dai Yue, go bring paper and brush. Write down all of the congratulatory gifts Fifth Prince is sending over, so as to avoid errors and negligence later on.”
Dai Yue, who was watching by the side with endless hate, was unable to say anything and was already unable to hold back. She answered immediately, bringing paper and brush with lightning speed. “Fifth Prince, please.”
He really to write down everything as proof?
Nangong Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Sister Qing Luan, I’ve already said that I’m sending you gifts so I’ll surely send them. There’s no need to so seriously list everything in black and white, right?”
Luo Qing Luan smiled unenthusiastically, “A kind of matter like congratulatory gifts, and even something from Fifth Prince, how can it not be considered a serious matter? If Fifth Prince said that you’re sending something, but in the end a servant stole or hid a couple of items, or maybe make an error, wouldn’t I suffer losses? Therefore, it’s still better to write them down, what does the fifth prince think?”
Knowing that Luo Qing Luan wanted to extort him, it’s not like Nangong Chen wasn’t willing. In order to catch a fox, one can’t be afraid of running, nor be afraid of buying shoes (TN:Be willing to pay the price to get what you want.) He lacked many things, but what he lacked the least was money. To be able to use money to exchange for Luo Qing Luan and her heart, everything was worth it.
Very quickly, Luo Qing Luan listed a big long list of things, all kinds of precious pearls and stones, antiques, paintings, including the most vulgar gold and silver. She didn’t care.
Nangong Chen wrote these down to the point his hand started to tremble. They added up to nearly five hundred thousand taels of silver, before Luo Qing Luan let the matter drop.
Putting away the paper that Nangong Chen personally wrote and signed, Luo Qing Luan was finally satisfied. An additional smiling expression appeared on her face. “Thank you, Fifth Prince. You truly deserve to be rich and imposing. In the future, if I run out of money, I can’t do without looking for your assistance.”
Nangong Chen’s heart pained endlessly, but still didn’t reveal it in his expression. It was only with great difficulty that he entered the pavilion in the back yard with Luo Qing Luan. There was not a soul in sight in their surroundings. Nangong Chen looked in every direction and finally relaxed.
“Tell me, Fifth Prince, what in the world did you want to say to me by coming to the General’s Mansion today?” Luo Qing Luan sat down slowly, then asked him.
“This Prince has one question to ask you.” Nangong Chen’s expression changed, releasing all of his grandeur without concealing it at all, as he said word by word, “If one day I become the crown prince and sat on the throne, I wonder if Sister Qing Luan is willing to become my empress?”
