Chapter 234 (1/2)
“Okay, my little ancestor, Madam will let the kitchen cook it now,” Madam Zhang compromised. She was her cash cow right now, what the little ancestor said would be done right away.
When she first knew that Nan Xun was a rice bucket, Madam Zhang was also a little shocked. How could that little belly contain so much food? But Madam Zhang became numb later on; she turned a blind eye to Nan Xun’s huge appetite. As long as she could help her earn money, then she could still afford that little bit of food.
After finishing a big, fat chicken braised in soy sauce, Nan Xun went to the private room to meet that Young Master Qi.
The man in the private room was tall, handsome, talented, and generous; the full package for male protagonists.
If Little Eight hadn’t told Nan Xun about the identity of this person, Nan Xun might still be polite with him, but now that she knew, she really didn’t want to deal with this Seventh Prince of Donglin Kingdom.
Li Yunduo in the original world fell for this Prince Qi Hengqing. For him, she would never balk at going through fire and water, until her last moments when she ended up in such a miserable state.
However, this Seventh Prince clearly knew Li Yunduo’s heart, yet he still let her stab herself for him. Even as the beauty passed away, he only sighed once in regret.
From Li Yunduo’s point of view, this time’s Fated Child was a proper scum man.
Nan Xun swept a glance at the man. She took a seat by herself before he could even open his mouth, picked up a teacup, and started drinking.
Qi Hengqing was startled at first, then he laughed and said, “Lady Qiangwei is really extraordinary.”
Nan Xun slammed her cup on the table and looked at the man opposite her with a smile. “Young Master Qi, what do you want to talk about today? We talked about qin and chess two months ago, and painting and calligraphy last month. What does Young Master want to talk about with me this time?”
Qi Hengqing looked at her as if deliberating about something. After quite a long time passed, he said, “Is it okay to talk about the important things in this Kingdom?”
Knowing his purpose, Nan Xun immediately shook her head and said, “I’m sorry ah, Young Master, Qiangwei is a woman. I’m not interested in any major events happening in these Kingdoms.”
Qi Hengqing’s gaze changed, and he said in a low voice, “Qiangwei is smart. You’re not uninterested in these things, you’ve guessed my intentions early on.”
Nan Xun was too lazy to pretend in front of him, so she just said straightforwardly, “Young Master Qi, you don’t look like a person from Nanyun Kingdom. Madam Zhang always urges me uncharacteristically every time I see you. The owner of this Drunken Moon… isn’t it you?”
Qi Hengqing’s eyes flashed, and he was silent for a long time before he confessed, “Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Lady’s discerning eyes. This Drunken Moon was indeed built by me four years ago to collect information from this kingdom. Actually, I——”
“Shhh~” Nan Xun made a silencing gesture at him. “Young Master Qi, don’t tell me who you are, I’m not interested. Moreover, I’m going to leave Drunken Moon really soon.”
Qi Hengqing’s expression changed slightly. “Lady, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Are there any difficulties that Lady is reluctant to discuss?”
In a bored manner, she played with the wine cup in her hand, and said indifferently, “Young Master Qi thought too much. I entered Drunken Moon because I didn’t have any money, so I had no other way but to choose this road. Anyway, I signed a contract with Madam to make it easier for me to leave.”
Qi Hengqing’s lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back.
He drank his wine alone while Nan Xun poured wine for him in silence.
After Qi Hengqing had drank until his cheeks were flushed, he suddenly grasped Nan Xun’s hand. “Lady Qiangwei, in fact, I——”
Bang!
Nan Xun smacked his face with a fist.
