C139 basil (2/2)

As for Mo Qingcheng and her wife, they had long felt too embarrassed to stay any longer. They obediently packed their stuff and left, not forgetting to go to the kitchen to steal two roast ducks as well.

When Shangguan Li heard the news, he did not think much of it. He would not have issued the wanted order for the two roasted ducks.

Young Master Luo had a huge hobby — lechery.

He was overjoyed to see a beauty.

Therefore, his love for Shangguan Min could be considered love at first sight.

”Young Master Luo, unfortunately, we are going down the mountain.” Shangguan Li cupped his hands.

Actually, everyone knew what kind of heart he had for Shangguan Min. However, Second Miss was too arrogant and cold, as if she didn't put men in her eyes.

It was more difficult to chase after a woman who was restrained.

It was precisely because of this that the challenge became even more challenging.

”I've just come up from the foot of the mountain, so I won't be accompanying you. Please forgive me.” There was a trace of regret in Master Luo's voice.

The hem of Luo Leyan's clothes had become a lot more wet as she held up the umbrella. In her hands, she held an exquisite embroidered box.

Yun Luo noticed the thing in his hand and joked, ”Is this a present for Second Miss? ”You sure are considerate.”

”Does Miss want to see it?” Luo Leyan brought the box to her face.

Yun Luo quickly refused, ”That's not good, right?”

After all, it was something he had spent so much effort to give Shangguan Min that he had seen in advance.

Nangong Yu held onto his umbrella, feeling that this woman was a little laughable. He was clearly extremely curious, yet he still pretended to be like this. Could a fox spirit not be more sincere?

Luo Leyan was magnanimous and said, ”It's alright. I don't know what a lady is thinking. It just so happens that I need your help to take a look.”

After all, the Second Miss wasn't an ordinary girl. If she didn't like what he gave her, then the one who would lose face would be herself. How could he lose face in front of the one he loved?

”Alright then.” Yun Luo took it over and opened the box. Inside was a hairpin, red in color and extremely stunning.

Shangguan Li nodded repeatedly. ”Second Sis likes red. If Brother Luo gave it to her, she would definitely like it.”

Yun Luo also agreed, ”That's right, this hairpin looks noble and generous, just right for the second miss' cold and elegant temperament.”

”Then, I'll have to thank the princess and the young lady for their blessings.”

After a simple farewell, Luo Leyan excitedly went up the mountain and arrived at the long corridor that Shangguan Min had to pass through.

”Second Miss, may I have a few words?”

Shangguan Min raised her head arrogantly and said coldly, ”I'm sorry, I still have things to do.”

”Just a few words.” Luo Leyan refused to give up. After all, she had not yet given away the item and there was no reason for her to give it up halfway.

Shangguan Min saw the brocade box in his hand and guessed something, but she still didn't look happy. ”I can't accept your intentions.”

His words were resolute and decisive without the slightest hesitation.

”Why?” Luo Leyan felt quite disappointed in her heart.

Shangguan Min waved her sleeves. ”I can't marry a man who only likes his looks.”

”But I …” Luo Leyan was about to explain something when Shangguan Min interrupted him.

”No buts, if I cut my face right now and ruined it, are you sure you like me?” Shangguan Min smiled contemptuously. Having a good background, she naturally had the right to choose.

Even if she was born from a concubine, she was still the Old Princess's only daughter.

”Everyone loves beauty. It's not my fault.” Luo Leyan explained his reasoning.

Is it sinful for a man to pursue a beautiful woman? Did he have to find an extremely ugly woman to spend the rest of his life with, in order to show how pure his character was? This was too bizarre.
