Chapter 635 - Sending a Few Pairs of Bracelets to Duke Xings Mansion (1/2)
“Of course, I am in your room. I have to rest even though you have changed your bed with me!” Chu Liuchen looked at Shao Wanru with a meaningful smile.
That was to say, the prince didn’t go out at all just now but hid in her room?
Shao Wanru opened her watery eyes wide and stared at him sincerely. She shouldn’t have been panic just now, for he had been in the next yard the whole time!
She took a deep breath and subdued the rush of anger inside. “Your Highness, since it’s over, I’ll go back!”
“Why are you in such a hurry? Since you are already here, you don’t have to go back so early!” Chu Liuchen smiled sideways at her. He had a pair of beautiful, shining eyes, but a few traces of laziness could be seen in them.
“It’s improper!” Shao Wanru said unhappily with a straight face.
“Why is it improper? Since you’re here, why are you in such a rush?” Chu Liuchen asked with a smile. Noticing the shame and anger in her watery eyes, he quit teasing her. He took out the pair of bracelets from his sleeve and handed one to Shao Wanru. “Take a look. Do you feel anything unusual?”
Shao Wanru had seen this bracelet before. Now since she had to look at it again, she could only do it perfunctorily!
Feeling helpless, she took the bracelet that was stuffed into her hand and looked up at Chu Liuchen’s beautiful and elegant face in confusion.
“Did you find anything unusual?” Chu Liuchen asked.
Shao Wanru shook her head. She really didn’t find anything.
“I’m going to send you the pair of bracelets!” Chu Liuchen suddenly smiled meaningfully and reached out to put the other bracelet in Shao Wanru’s hand. “Take it as your best dowry!”
Shao Wanru blinked her eyes speechlessly. Shouldn’t this so-called best dowry be used as a gift to the bride when a woman got married? Moreover, it was often women who did such a thing. What on earth was his doing?
In the end, Shao Wanru took the pair of bracelets that Chu Liuchen forced to give her back. She had no choice but to take them. When she went back, she asked Yujie to put them away. Such bracelets were not designed for people to wear initially. They were so heavy and solid that no one would wear them!
After Shao Wanru left, Chu Liuchen also got up and walked to the window. Looking at the mountains outside the window, he asked with a smile, “Xiao Xuanzi, what do you think of the bracelets?”
“There’s no doubt that the bracelets are prime, but if they’re kept by Fifth Miss Shao…” After Shao Wanru left, Xiao Xuanzi entered the room. At this moment, he hesitated and paused. He assumed that it wouldn’t be a good choice to have Fifth Miss Shao keep the bracelets. If anything went wrong, something serious would unquestionably happen!
“I can’t ask her to keep the bracelets?” Chu Liuchen glanced at him from the corner of his shining eyes, looking elegant and noble.
“Master, if someone discovers that the Fifth Miss possesses such a pair of bracelets, he’ll be suspicious of her!” Xiao Xuanzi reminded him carefully.
Chu Liuchen’s extremely long eyelashes cast ragged shadows on his face. He looked at Xiao Xuanzi with a faint smile and asked, “So?”
“So… you’d better be cautious!” Xiao Xuanzi replied helplessly. As a servant, he felt he had seen through it, but his master didn’t seem to realize it.
“Of course, I’ll be cautious. She’s my Princess Consort. If I’m not careful, I won’t even have a wife!” Chu Liuchen said casually.
If one listened to these words alone, he would have a feeling that they had a deep meaning, as if they meant something.
Xiao Xuanzi gazed at his master speechlessly, and his face wrinkled. He believed he had made it clear, but his master didn’t seem to get him.
After thinking for a while, he thought he could explain it again, so he reminded his master a second time. “Master, if the Fifth Miss engages in the consort selection, she’s likely to be chosen by other princes!”
Fifth Miss Shao was getting more and more gorgeous now and was no longer the childlike little girl she once was. She was even more outstanding than the First Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion. In Xiao Xuanzi’s view, the top beauty in the capital was none other than the Fifth Miss.
With such striking features, how could those princes not be mesmerized by her the moment they saw her? Even if they didn’t promise her the title “Princess Consort”, they were willing to have her as their concubine!
“How dare they!” Chu Liuchen’s face darkened, and a trace of gloom was floating in his pretty eyes. His previous gentleness and elegance immediately changed into weirdness and coldness.
“Master, it’s not about whether they dare to do it. Although the Empress Dowager has agreed to the marriage between you and the Fifth Miss, it hasn’t been made public. If the other princes make their desire for the Fifth Miss public, it’ll be too late for you to regret it!” Xiao Xuanzi said earnestly and secretly wiped his sweat!
Chu Liuchen landed his cold eyes outside the window and suddenly found the previous beautiful scenery to be not that eye-catching, and he even had an aversion to it. He snorted and said, “If anyone dares to harbor any unrealistic delusions about my woman, he has to see if he can survive my tricks!”
