Chapter 33.1 - Toying Around and Toying Back (1/2)

It turned out that he came here to give her money?

Luo Qing Luan calmed down a little bit, but she still maintained her guard as before.

“You stand further away. We’ll continue to speak after I’ve gotten dressed.” She certainly wasn’t willing to talk to Nalan Ye the way she was dressed now. She looked at the clothes stand by her bed where her outer clothes were hung. She had to put those clothes on.

Following Luo Qing Luan’s line of sight, Nalan Ye cast a glance, but he not only didn’t distance himself, instead, he walked towards the side of the bed. In a blink, the distance between the two of them was less than three feet. The cold wind outside blew in through the window, blending with a chilly breath. Immediately, Luo Qing Luan felt a mountain of pressure.

Eyes narrowing, she subconsciously retreated as she shouted in a low voice. “What are you doing? I asked you to stand further away. Did you not hear?”

“Am I supposed to just listen to whatever Miss Luo says?” Nalan Ye uttered coldly. A strange light flashed through the pair of bright eyes hidden in the dark.

[Shameless. Bastard!]

Luo Qing Luan couldn’t help but curse a few times in her heart, then opened her mouth to say, “Weren’t you going to pay me money? Just put it on the table. I’ll return your jade piece to you. Leave quickly after you take it.”

After saying this, despite exposing her secret hiding place, she still turned around and took out the box from the secret compartment. She opened it and took out that jade piece to give to him.

This man came to pay money in the middle of the night? There must be something wrong with him. No matter what, it’s best to just quickly get rid of him.

Nalan Ye’s gaze moved to look at the item in Luo Qing Luan’s hand and suddenly smiled. He actually sat down. Luo Qing Luan had been staring fixedly at his actions and resisted speaking out with great difficulty. However, the fact was that the hand which she hid under the blanket was already prepared.

“This Prince should examine the jade first before doing anything else. What if you’ve dropped it…..”

As he spoke, he reached out his hand, as if he truly wanted to examine it seriously. Luo Qing Luan creased her eyebrows. Why was this man so full of suspicions? But her concentration barely lapsed when suddenly, she saw Nalan Ye move extremely quickly and already grabbed her hand.

Her entire small hand was grasped in the palm of his hand, and she immediately felt a strength holding her tightly. Luo Qing Luan was startled and promptly withdrew her hand, but the other person exerted even more strength, so she surprisingly wasn’t able to pull her hand back.

“Let go!” Luo Qing Luan clenched her teeth as she shouted. She just didn’t shout very loudly. Were it not for this time and place being wrong, she would’ve screamed loudly. How could she not worry about drawing people here only to incur misunderstandings?

Nalan Ye didn’t say anything and also did not let go. Instead, he just stared straight at her. “What, is Miss Luo nervous?”

“Shameless. Let go, do you hear me?”

“But……”

The hand holding her moved subconsciously as Nalan Ye faintly uttered, “This Prince suddenly recalled how Miss Luo forcibly kissed me last time. I felt that the taste was not bad. I didn’t expect that these hands are also just as tender and delicate. As if exerting a little of my strength will break it.”
