Chapter 4 (1/2)

”Luo Gongzi's family is big and powerful.  This Hua person doesn't dare to climb up so high socially to be a friend.  Moreover, if I do really intend to beat you, I will be able to do so.  Just that, with your Father's position as the Prime Minister of the country and if he is to find out his son is using his important status to threaten others, I wonder what he will think.”

”Don't talk to me about this!  Are you going to marry me?  If you are not going to marry me, then give me money as mediation fees.  Otherwise, the Hua Family will have to stop doing business in future!”

Luo Ji Cai took a step nearer to her and did not intend to be polite any longer.

”Don't you understand what I'm telling you?!  I have said it over a hundred times!  I am not giving you any money!  I am not marrying you and stop pestering me!”  She clenched her hands into fists and held them up, at the same time, she roared out loud.  ”Scram! ! !”

Luo Ji Cai was so scared by her roar that he unsteadily retreated several steps and nearly fell down.  The black-dressed guards immediately rushed forward to support him.

She threw them a look of disdain, turned around and strode away.

Luo Ji Cai who was looking at her retreating back suddenly gave a loud scream and shoved the two guards away.  With a distorted expression, he pounced forward, grabbed her veil and pulled it down......

Hua Ming Zi was caught by surprise and her veil fluttered to the ground instantly.

”Dangjia!”  Gu Yu hurriedly stepped in front of Hua Ming Zi but it was already too late.

Hua Ming Zi did not expect Luo Ji Cai to be so impolite.  She glared at the stunned Luo Ji Cai for a moment, then immediately bent down to pick up her veil before turning around to put it back on.

Staring at ber back, Luo Ji Cai thought of that fleeting glimpse of the beauty and unconsciously stood in the same spot with an astonished expression.

Who would have thought that being as fierce as a tiger, she would be as beautiful as a G.o.ddess!  Those apricot eyes, that jaded nose, that pinkish skin, that flower-like lips......even in the palace, it was difficult to find.......

”Beautiful......very beautiful......really very beautiful!   I must have you for my wife!......”   Luo Ji Cai stared fixedly at her and then chased behind her.  ”I will tell my Father to immediately send people to propose a marriage......”

”This is for your impertinence!”  Hua Ming Zi turned around and with a flick of her hand, she threw on him some powdery substance which she uses to defend herself.

”Ah! ! !”  Luo Ji Cai felt a sharp pain in his eyes and involuntarily let out a loud scream.  ”You poisoned me!  I'm blinded!  Come, guards!  Hurry!”

Luo Ji Cai's two guards quickly stepped forward to support him.

”Where is the antidote?!”  Luo Ji Cai felt so painful that he crouched on the ground and he could only feel his eyes burning like they were on fire.

”You can buy the antidote at the Ying Medical Halls.  Tell them the antidote you want is the antidote for the pepper powder that women use to defend themselves against robbers.”

Hua Ming Zi looked at the two people who were supposed to be guards but who looked more like dogs and she sneered.  ”I heard that if the antidote is not used within half an hour, it will result in blindness......”

”What are the two of you doing?  Hurry, get this Young Master there!”  Luo Ji Cai yelled.

The two guards immediately lead Luo Ji Cai to the carriage and clumsily supported him up.

As soon as Luo Ji Cai sat down properly, immediately he shouted out of the carriage.  ”Hua Ming Zi!  I am going to tell my Father, I want to marry you!  I also want the people in the whole capital to know that whoever wants to marry you, will be opposing my Luo Family! ! !”

”That is not a problem!  Today, I will inform Luo Daren* about the shameful things you are doing outside so that you will be so busy dealing with it that you won't have time to propose marriage.”  She rolled her eyes and strode through the door of Hua Ji Restaurant.

(Daren means Lord or Master.)

Luo Family is a political family and even the daughters of merchants are not accepted into their family, not to mention she is only just a businesswoman.

However, everything in the world is unpredictable.  Who knows if the Father of Luo Ji Cai suddenly gets an attack of knotted brains, he might even agree to allow Luo Ji Cai to take her as his wife.  So, it would be better to get herself married off in the shortest time possible.

She turned back to look at Gu Yu who was still in a state of shock.  He was staring at her, unable to forget the face that he glimpsed just now.
