39 Drinking with Prosititutes, Thats within Expectation (2/2)

At places of entertainment, there was no reason for one to introduce his own name and family to the other party. As old saying states, ”We're people who're only seeking for enjoyment, so it doesn't matter if we were strangers before this encounter.” The young man did not ask for Ning Que's name either, but laughed and joked with him. After a few cups of wine, Ning Que felt more at ease. That was when he realized that he was also someone who could chat and joke a lot. After conversing for a while, the people sitting at that table had instantly become rowdy.

The young man seemed to be in a good mood. He took a side glance at Ning Que from head to toe, as he generously commanded to the steward. ”Arrange two ladies for this lad here. Age and nationality do not matter. I just need someone who can entertain and serve the customer well.”

Ning Que silently thought in his heart, ”Does that mean age gap is not a problem, and nationality is not an issue?” He never thought that the people at the Chang'an were so open-minded about such things. As he was enjoying his time, he suddenly understood the true meaning behind the invitation. He could not help but feel shocked at his realization, as he quickly gestured his hands and rejected the offer.

”It's really fine... and no need to be modest,” the young man said as he laughed softly. His laughter was unusually cunning. He continued, ”Young brother, if I'm not wrong, I guessed you're still a virgin?”

Ning Que was so embarrassed that he frowned his brows and the freckles on his cheeks suddenly became more vivid. He thought quietly to himself, ”surely now is not the time for me to gesture my hands and exclaimed to him, 'What a good judgment you have!'.”

The steward squinted his eyes, which caused the wrinkles on his face to gather together, and laughed before telling the young man not to worry and he would arrange as per requested. The young man noticed the shocking look on Ning Que's face, as he slightly frowned and guessed. ”Or is it that my young brother here does not like old mama-like women, but prefers young and sexy ladies?”

Ning Que sat there like a block of wood, and his mind seemed to be drifted elsewhere. All of a sudden, he smiled politely and said with determination, ”To be honest, I still prefer ladies who're of the similar age as me.”

”Good, good, that's how a man should be like. Honest and straightforward.”

The young man tapped his fan as he praised. He then raised his brow, giggled and said, ”Lad, if you want someone your age, her experience would be lesser. I never expect my young brother have such a light taste.”

Ning Que raised his brows. As he was about to brag about a large amount of experience he had in his years of imagination, a young maidservant suddenly came hopping and running down the stairs. She walked to their table without any expression on her face and said with a crisp voice, ”Sir, Mistress Jian would like to see you.”

Ning Que was finally able to enter this new age under the sponsorship of this kind young man, but yet suddenly, this young maidservant came to interfere their conversation. As he was getting slightly nervous, he instantly recalled the storylines from various legendary stories. Whenever the main male lead was having a good time at the brothel, accidents would always happen and in the end, it was often being interrupted. These accidents or planned incidents included the burning of brothel, the fight between the experts, that young lover became jealous, or that the fierce wife at home suddenly appeared...

With these thoughts in mind, he started to feel extremely anxious, even to the extent of feeling hopeless. He did not even wonder who was this Mistress Jian that wished to meet him, but yet at the mention of this name, many customers at the lobby revealed a surprised and confused look, as they looked jealously at Ning Que.

The young man was stunned as he jealously patted on Ning Que's shoulder and laughed loudly. ”What a good life you have.”

Ning Que was somewhat awakened by the young man's pat on the shoulder, which was filled with heavy resentment. He then noticed the looks on everyone's faces in the lobby. He was taken aback and started to feel curious about this Mistress Jian, of course, with several fanciful reveries on his mind.
