Chapter 362: The Lady Boss’s Tease (1/2)

When Pei Rumo returned and walked over from far away, he saw the current situation: Bai Luochu was standing in front of the tea stall feeling rather embarrassed. She had a frenetic expression as though she was trying to explain something. As for the lady boss of the tea stall who treated outsiders with hostility, she had the expression of a senior who was trying to enlighten a muddle-headed junior.

Pei Rumo felt that Bai Luochu was truly a capable person. She would be cold like ice normally but she would somehow be able to allow others to ease up around her.

He casually used this reason to explain how he fell for her in the first place. When Pei Rumo saw how embarrassed Bai Luochu was, he quickly went over and asked with concern, “What happened? Is something wrong?”

Bai Luochu heard the familiar voice and immediately turned around. She never expected for Pei Rumo to be standing so close to her and she nearly bumped into him. Pei Rumo could even feel Bai Luochu’s lashes gently shivering as they brushed across his cheeks. His heart trembled and he felt as though there were ten thousand butterflies fluttering about in his stomach.

Bai Luochu was aware that they were standing too close to each other and she quickly took a step back. After stabilizing herself, she greeted respectfully, “Your Highness.”

Pei Rumo was rather disappointed by Bai Luochu’s actions. However, he quickly managed to regain his composure as he asked, “You have yet to tell me what happened...”

The lady boss was someone who experienced much of life and she was able to accurately sense the surge of feelings between the two individuals. Even though Pei Rumo was trying to force his way into the relationship, the feelings between them existed.

“Oh? Your little lover is back. An old and faded lady like me shall not disturb the two of you any longer. Goodbye.” Finishing her statement, she went back to boil the tea.

When Pei Rumo heard this, he immediately guessed the situation between Bai Luochu and the lady boss. The lady boss’ misunderstanding made Pei Rumo rather happy and a smile slowly formed on his face.

Bai Luochu didn’t know what to do when the lady boss exposed Pei Rumo’s feelings in front of them and now that Pei Rumo was staring at her, she became even more flustered. She couldn’t help but to cough before changing the topic, “Cough cough, the lady boss is just speaking nonsense. She must have misunderstood something. Since Your First Highness is already here, let’s not delay it any longer. I managed to find something related to the campaign.”

Pei Rumo wanted to make fun of Bai Luochu, but when he heard that she had some important information to report, he turned serious. He took the initiative to retrieve Bai Luochu’s horse before heading back to the inn.

Bai Luochu silently guessed that the mysterious man must have recognized Pei Rumo’s face. If that was really the case, the Desolate Region was filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Bai Luochu couldn’t decide whether or not to tell Pei Rumo about the mysterious presence.
