Chapter 175: Again and Again (2/2)
“Who did you see earlier?” Pei Qingfeng couldn’t ignore the visitor whose family name was ‘Lu’.
“Lu Wenshu was here. He came to apologize empty handed and didn’t seem sincere at all. I got rid of him after a short conversation. I have lots of things to do right now. I’m not going to waste my time talking to him.” Bai Luochu’s hand didn’t stop as she picked out Pei Qingfeng’s medicine.
Pei Qingfeng glanced at Bai Luochu and grunted, “Heh. I’m afraid someone is chasing him away but is secretly overjoyed in her heart. Tsk tsk tsk, isn’t he someone you admired back then? Why don’t you express your admiration for him properly?”
Bai Luochu suddenly thought of the excuse she used in order to hide her understanding of Lu Wenshu. Now that she thought about it, she dug a huge pit for herself and she managed to bury herself deep inside.
“Why do you sound so sore? Those who don’t know might think that your wife found another man. Your head is filled with too many indecent thoughts for a prince. Is there a reason for me to keep him around? I have lots to do and my head is starting to hurt. Stop interrupting me and allow me to focus on your wound.” Bai Luochu saw Pei Qingfeng’s bitter face and she teased.
Bai Luochu originally thought that it was over but she never expected Lu Wenshu to be so stubborn. He would deliver medicinal ingredients and rare treasures to the general’s residence every other day.
Bai Luochu started off by rejecting them but she didn’t imagine that a disciple of an immortal sect would stand at the entrance of the general’s residence like a hoodlum. He said that if she didn’t accept the gifts, it would be the same as rejecting his apology. Since she wouldn’t accept his apology, he would stand under the scorching sun for an entire day in order to express his sincerity
Bai Luochu initially thought that Lu Wenshu wasn’t being serious. However, he took it for real. He stood in the sun from dawn till dusk. As Bai Luochu didn’t want him to obstruct the entrance of the residence, she had no choice but to accept the gifts.
When Lu Wenshu saw the rare treasures turning into gifts, he walked away happily. There wasn’t a trace of sadness on his face.
Looking at how Lu Wenshu was acting, Bai Luochu shook her head silently and lamented at the fact that there were too many madmen in the world.
“Here. Young Master Lu said these are all for you.” Bai Luochu asked someone to carry the gifts into the secluded courtyard. She dumped everything onto the ground like they were trash and she didn’t even glance at them.
“Did he specifically give it to me?” Pei Qingfeng glanced at the items on the ground and asked.
“Nope. But you’re the only injured one around here. Of course it’s for you.” Bai Luochu frowned slightly as though she couldn’t understand Pei Qingfeng’s question.
Pei Qingfeng wasn’t a relationship numbskull like Bai Luochu and he knew that he was using these gifts to improve his relationship with her.
This simple-minded lass... she might even be sold off without even realizing it.
