Chapter 23.1 - There Are Many Problems With This Courtesan House of Yours (1/2)

Previously at the General’s Mansion, even though Luo Qing Luan had heard Nalan Ye speak before, it was merely a few lines and it had been a long time since then. She didn’t keep him in mind.

Now that Nalan Ye was right in front of her, she didn’t know that this person was the famously grim, yet brilliant titled prince, Nalan Ye.

“Is your distinguished self the owner of this Heavenly Dream Tower? Are you the person who wanted to see me?” Luo Qing Luan was not timid in the least as she walked over, her line of sight shifting from Nalan Ye to Nangong Chen.

“I saw everything that happened downstairs with you a moment ago.”

Nangong Yu didn’t look down on Luo Qing Luan because of her young age at all and cupped his hands towards her in a respectful greeting, then smiled faintly. “I am Heavenly Dream Tower’s owner. You can call me Mister Yu. I wonder what is your honorable last name, Just now downstairs, they didn’t show you sufficient respect. I hope you don’t take offense.”

Luo Qing Luan walked forward and sat down facing him with eyebrows raised. “So this means that you don’t plan on reneging your debt?”

If that was the case, she could still look at this person with some respect. Someone who couldn’t take defeat gracefully and want to renege on his debt was someone who she would disdain to continue to speak with.

Smiling faintly, Nangong Yu already took out a banknote from his chest pocket and pushed it towards Luo Qing Luan’s side. “Even though my Heavenly Dream Tower is not a mainstream business, such an insignificant amount of money won’t be allowed to ruin our reputation. Moreover, you won it with your own abilities. I quite admire that and would like to become friends with you.”

Money is here, no need to pretend she didn’t want it. Luo Qing Luan took the banknote after a quick look. Indeed, it’s a banknote for two thousand taels of silver from Myriad Treasures Exchange, convertible into money at any of their branches throughout the country.

Luo Qing Luan put away the banknote and finally said her name. “My last name is Luo, but I’m not any nobility. My family does some small business, that’s all. Naturally, I can’t compare to Mister Yu’s famous Heavenly Dream Tower.”

Originally already suspicious, once Nalan Ye heard this name, he took another quick glance at Luo Qing Ye and a crafty, pretty face immediately flashed in his mind. He sneered. Wasn’t this person precisely the General’s Mansion’s second Miss Luo? She actually dressed as a man and ran here to visit a courtesan house?

Luo Qing Luan did not miss this meaningful glance at all as she turned her head to look. She saw Nalan Ye’s strange gaze and also that cold and detached face, as if everybody owed him several millions in money.

Mr. Yu, is this person a friend of yours?” She knit her brows and asked.

“Heh heh, this is……you can call him Ziqing.” Nangong Yu naturally wouldn’t easily give away Nalan Ye’s identity. Without thinking it through, he spoke this name. In regards to this name of Nalan Ye’s, only people closest to him would know it. Even if he told other people, they wouldn’t associate it with him.

Luo Qing Luan really did not enjoy looking at such an ice-cold face.

With regards to people she did not like, she was simply disinclined to take another look at them. Therefore, she only spoke to Nangong Yu. “Mr. Yu, is it possible that your entire family are in the courtesan house business?”
