Chapter 7 (2/2)
“This person? Guess.” Du Jing lifted a wine cup and spoke.
“Silly, I can’t guess!” The women’s plump chest shook as she spoke with a voice that was comparable to Lin Chi-Ling, causing Lin Shan to have gooseb.u.mps everywhere.(1)
“This is Song Clan’s Second Young Master, Song Luo.”
What? Song Clan’s Second Son, isn’t that the Prince Consort? Husband of Ming Yue Princess?
In a blink of an eye, all the ladies surrounding Lin Shan retreated.
No way! Lin Shan face turned into an 囧. Can you guys not be so obvious? You’re killing me here!
A young lady awkwardly laughed: “Prince Consort hasn’t been married for long, yet you already sneaked to our Leaning Vermillion House, could it be that there are some problems?”
“Ming… Princess Ming Yue will be very angry if she finds out.” A different girl jumped in.
“Prince Consort should return early.” A girl spoke out with sincerity.
Lin Shan quietly cursed in mind: “Du Ming Yue, what kind of reputation do you have that can cause everybody to shake in fear like this?”
“Men going out to have fun is a perfectly normal matter, why is everyone so nervous?” Du Jing spoke up, “Come, come, Song brother, I will buy you a drink. I still feel regret that I couldn’t drink with Song Brother on the day you got married. Come now, Little Red, quickly pour wine for the Prince Consort!”
Little Red’s body shook as she picked up the wine bottle and poured Lin Shan a drink. She then quickly pulled back out of fear.
Lin Shan pretended to be shy and said: “I thank the Third Prince. Unfortunately my const.i.tution isn’t very good, I hope I can drink this tea in place of the wine.”
Du Jing frowned: “How could Song brother say that? On your wedding day, your drinking ability was astonis.h.i.+ng!”
Astonis.h.i.+ng your head! On that day this old grandma only drank water. Lin Shan was planning to continue rejecting the drink when the Manager of Leaning Vermillion House appeared, her smile reaching up to her ears “Third Prince, Bai Lian lady has come!”
Bai Lian? Lin Shan became curious. Could it be some sort of special character?
Of course, following behind the Manager was a super beauty!
A girl wearing a light blue uniform, bringing with her a gentle and fragile beauty with soft white skin, her flowing black hair s.h.i.+ning. Bai Lian was a person just like her name, a dazzling white lotus that makes everything around it pale in comparison.(2)
Everybody, no matter who they were, could appreciate beauty. Lin Shan was the same, a one of a kind beauty like Bai Lian make her cannot help but stare.
Suddenly, Bai Lian lifted her head and said: “Bai Lian greets Third Prince and Lian Young Master…”
Lin Shan has once again been thrown to the side. =.=
“Lian brother, let me introduce you, this is the number one beauty of Leaning Vermillion House – Bai Lian lady. She has admired you for a long time… Little Lian, come and pour wine for Lian Guardian.”
Bai Lian softly walked towards them, her lovely demeanor enough to cause countless men to go crazy and all women to be jealous.
But Lian Feng act like nothing has happened. He continue to sit there with no reaction.
“Lian Young Master, have some.” Bai Lian’s sweet voice rang out, causing people’s heart to melt.
Lian Feng remained unmoved by her voice. He didn’t even turn to glance at Bai Lian once. Bai Lian’s hand that was holding the wine cup froze in the air. She had no idea what to do next while being so embarra.s.sed.
Seeing Bai Lian’s eyes beginning to turn red from tears, Du Jing tried to smooth things over: “Lian brother, you shouldn’t act like that, why are you ignoring the good intentions of Bai Lian lady? Give me face and have a drink.”
Hearing Du Jing, Lian Feng could only take the wine cup. He downed it in one gulp and then slam the wine cup down determinedly with a “clack”.
Bai Lian planned to keep offering him wine, but seeing Lian Feng’s decisive actions, her arms stiffen. She felt extremely aggrieved, tears were already overflowing from her eyes.
“How pitiful!” Lin Shan shook her head while sitting on the side. Definitely a beauty with a poor fate. The person who likes you, you don’t like, but the person you love wouldn’t even give you a look. Beauty, you must wake up soon, lower your standards a bit, and find a more appropriate crush, as no matter what it would be better than getting yourself mixed up with the royal family’s matters.
While Lin Shan was still shaking her head in complaint, Lian Feng’s face suddenly changed, his sharp eyes shot towards Bai Lian and he coldly spoke:
“What did you put inside the drink?”
(1) Lin Chi-Ling is a Taiwanese supermodel and actress, well known as being the spokeperson for China airline and Longines. [Her Voice]
(2) Bai Lian literally translates to White Lotus.
