206 Side Story: Matchmaking III (2/2)
Her head hurt as she struggled through the endless pages. What worried her most was not progress and performance but a stack of twenty pages at was different from the rest.
These contained one page that Mingyue Jian wrote for each of her directors as well as one page each that the directors wrote about him. They all followed her commands and put down what they truly felt into words. It was her way of finding out if there was a suitable match among her directors.
Mingyue Jian was diligent and filled each page with many words. The man liked to beat around the bush a lot but his ultimate intention towards each woman was clear. On three of the pages, he left the stamp of a bright red rose. The reports from opposite side were less verbose but five of them also had red roses.
This was quite surprising. Lin Qingcheng did not expect that so many of her disciples were interested in the crown prince. She was hoping that there would be a single clear match but there were now three 'matches' with both sides indicating their interest.
”Master?” She said.
”Huh?” Chen Wentian answered from the bed.
Lin Qingcheng took the six special reports and crawled onto the bed. She laid down next to Chen Wentian and gave him the papers. She snuggled into his chest while he read them.
”Hmm… Qin Yan, Chen Wangyin, Yuan Qiaochu? Are you having trouble deciding between the three?”
She mumbled her assent.
He chuckled, ”One woman from each group, this crafty crown prince likes to hedge his bets. I bet you that there is one among the three that he likes the best but he's just being coy. However, it's also important to see if any of these three women like prince the most… Chengcheng, you want them to be happy, right?”
”Of course.”
”Then let the three of them go on some private dates with the prince.”
”Dates? How should they date.” She asked, confused.
”Let's see… something romantic, something exciting, something where they can bond with each other.” He said, ”The first one, they can have a private dinner party at the royal palace. The second can be romantic getaway to another province, perhaps Blazing Mountain, Glacier, and Cloudy Mountain. The third would be visiting each woman's family. With three dates each, hopefully they can all come to a conclusion.”
Lin Qingcheng nodded in understanding before climbing on top of Chen Wentian with playful smile. She leaned down and nibbled at his bare chest while sending her hands down towards what she wanted.
”Master… where is my romantic getaway?”
