99 Gentlemanly Behaviour (1/2)

When Ning Fu saw the girl come towards him, he couldn't help but curse his own luck as well.

Why had he agreed to this hair-brained scheme?

Well, it wasn't that he didn't know or see the charlatans in his army but he had always stayed away from them because when he was fighting at the border, the enemies would sometimes send girls to kill the soldiers in the dead of the night.

Since he had seen such scenes from a very young age, it had culled his desire for such frivolous activities but here he was now in an entertainment house and he was sure the girl would try to take some sort of advantage - physical or monetary of him.

The girl also sat alongside him and introduced herself as Changying. She deftly refilled his empty wine bowl.

Her actions irritated him but he couldn't be brusque with her like he usually was with his soldiers so he simply kept his mouth shut and drank the wine slowly.

Since he had to go through with this torture, he might as well just enjoy the food and wine to while away the time till the monarch had his fill and left for the Imperial Palace.

Ning Fu only hoped that the monarch wouldn't decide to spend the night here.

He doesn't know why but his heart gave a twinge at that thought.

When he catches the monarch and the other girl lean into each other and talk softly, he couldn't help but pay more attention to the scene.

He saw as the girl must have said something funny because the monarch laughed and the girl turned away her shyly.

Humph!

Whom was she acting so coy for?

None of the girls in an entertainment house were pure white snow as they tried to portray themselves.

Still, since the monarch seemed to be enjoying her company, he couldn't even say any harsh words to her even though the scene seemed to prick his eyes.

When he saw the girl tuck her arm in the crook of the monarch's arm and nestle into his side, he lost the small amount of patience he had been trying to trudge up in such a situation.

Simultaneously, when he found the girl by his side trying to slide her hand covertly over his leg, he hardly gripped her hand.

Changying wasn't surprised by the strong grip on her hand by the patron. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
