n“Have had betrothal engagement with Brother Eighth?”

nLin Zimo’s smile disappeared immediately, the hand which was holding the tea cup started to shake.

nLuo Qianqian’s eyebrow raised, “I’ll make myself scarce now that I’m not welcome here.”

n

n

nWith that she turned around.

nSomehow she felt a bit uncomfortable seeing this Lin Zimo, but she did remember she and Lin Zimo were barely friends, how come she had this odd feeling for him?

nIt almost felt like she missed something important, or, to be more accurate, it was the real Luo Qianqian who was feeling this way.

nLuo Keer was only too happy to hear that from Luo Qianqian, she wished Luo Yuyan could follow suit.

n

n

n“You mannerless girl!” Prime Minister Luo reproached her.

nLuo Qianqian acted like she had not heard of him and kept walking, she did not know what Luo Yuyan was up to by dragging her here, but she knew she did not want to have anything to do with this Doctor Lin. Thinking about what Xiao Yue had told her, she was more determined to stay at a respectful distance from Lin Zimo.

nShe paced up her steps, Lin Zimo was devastated seeing her receding figure, the only thing that had been in his mind was to coming to this mansion and visit her ever since he came back, he could not even be bothered to inquire about the updates in the capital city.

nHe knew Brother Eighth was engaged deferring to the imperial edict, but was it Luo Qianqian that was going to be Prince Eighth’s princess?

n

n

nHe was devastated! His heart was breaking into pieces.

nHe wanted to stop her, but she was oblivious to him just now! He was so confused, before he left, they had agreed he would come to Prime Minister Mansion and ask Prime Minister Luo’s permission to marry right after he came back.

nXiao Yue, who was following Luo Qianqian could not help but turn her head several times, but she did not say anything.

nXiao Yue noticed her lady did not care for Doctor Lin any more since she was poisoned by Luo Keer the other day.

nLuo Yuyan sneered in her heart, ‘Luo Keer now must be pissed off knowing Doctor Lin is not interested in her at all.”

n“Hmm, you shouldn’t have come to the hall in the first place. Brother Zimo, how have you been? It’s been a year since… …” put in Luo Keer.

n

n

nLin Zimo excused himself and stood up before Luo Keer finished her sentence, “Prime Minister Luo, it suddenly occurs to me I have something urgent to deal with, I’ll visit another day.”

n“Doctor Lin … …”, of course Prime Minister Luo knew that was just an excuse, but he could only take it in a polite way, “All right then, I won’t keep you for long now that you have place to be.”

n“See you next time, Prime Minister Luo.” with that Lin Zimo left the hall, he did not even look at Luo Yuyan or Luo Keer.

n“Brother Zimo, but you just arrived… …” cried out Luo Keer.

nHer eyes turned red seeing how desperate Lin Zimo wanted too leave.

n“Daddy, why doesn’t Brother Zimo like me?”

nNow it was crystal clear that Luo Keer was not the girl Lin Zimo was looking for.

n“Keer, Yuyan, go back to your house.” sighed Prime Minister Luo.

n

n

nHe couldn’t rush on things like this, impatience would only backfire.

nLuo Yuyan lowered her head and said yes.

nLin Zimo wished he could confront Luo Qianqian and ask her why she behaved like a total stranger, why she agreed to marry Brother Eighth.

nMeanwhile Luo Qianqian who was walking to Luo Pavilion now was rubbing her chest, she felt like there was a lump in her throat that she couldn’t breathe.

n“Master, you are lovelorn, aren’t you?” Xiao Bai bantered her in her mind.

n“You found Prince Eighth attractive yesterday, and today Doctor Lin captured your heart, don’t be a player, woman.”

nLuo Qianqian was tempted to give Xiao Bai a good beating, “What nonsense! I’m not in love with anyone!”

n“This is the original body’s feelings, that must be it!”

nXiao Bai stuck out its tongue, “Yeah, sure~”

nLuo Qianqian picked up her pace now, she wanted to get some rest.

nXiao Yue was trying to catch up, she was panting from behind, “My lady, wait for me please, why did you act like a stranger in front of Doctor Lin, you and he had promised each other a lifetime commitment.”

n“That’s nonsense!” she did NOT promised anyone anything!

nRight at that moment, she bumped into a chest, a sinewy chest that made her forehead in pain.

n

n

n“Who is it? Reckless bastard!” demanded Luo Qianqian.

nWell, to be fair, it was kind of her fault for she was not paying any attention on the way.

n“Prince… Prince Eighth… …”, Xiao Yue’s heart was pounding when she saw it was Murong Yun, ‘Has Prince Eighth heard what I just said?’

n‘Will he blame my lady?’

nLuo Qianqian rolled her eyes, ‘What? Not him again!’

nThe man was so tall that she had to raise her head, and raise her head a bit more.

n‘Hmm, that is such a gorgeous face, I guess life is not fair after all!’

nLuo Qianqian’s heart was also pounding now, for a different reason from Xiao Yue’s though.

n“Mu… Murong Yun?” Luo Qianqian stepped back.

nThe man asked indifferently, “Are you all right?”

nWith that he reached out and stroked the bump on Luo Qianqian’s forehead.

nLuo Qianqian could smell the herb aroma from him, she found this man breathtakingly gorgeous amid the sunlight, Luo Qianqian was stunned.

nShe even blurted out, “How beautiful! Like a goddess!”

nHearing that, Xiao Yue was shaking, she kept thumping and kowtowing to Prince Eighth, “Prince Eighth, it’s all my fault! Please pardon my lady!”

nNo man would like to hear “Like a goddess!”

nEspecially when he was respected as General Invincible on the battlefield!

n“What are you doing, Xiao Yue? Stop kowtowing!” Luo Qianqian did not find anything improper, well, she was just being honest.

n“My lady… …” Xiao Yue was terrified.

nLuo Qianqian picked up Xiao Yue from the ground and looked at Murong Yun.

n‘Was that a compliment?’ thought Murong Yun.

n‘Hmm, an interesting way to compliment me, but I don’t mind it due to the way she was looking at me.’

nTherefore, Murong Yun was not mad, he smiled at her, “You like it?”

nLuo Qianqian was dumbfounded, she could not believe what she had just heard.

nXiao Yue was more startled, was… was Prince Eighth smiling?

n“Prince Eighth is such a charming young man, anyone would like you.” Luo Qianqian fawned him because she was guilty for what took place in the herb store.

nMurong Yun chuckled gently, “I’m glad.”

nLin Zimo, who was standing from not afar, had seen it all, he felt he was about to faint.
