Chapter 281 (2/2)

”What?!” Not caring that there was a princess present, Ning Errong jumped up. ”Luoqi is pregnant?”

Smiling, Ning Mingjie nodded.

Princess Pengyue twitched her lips. ”As expected, all good men are already married to their beloveds and have children.”

Ji Man was left feeling a bit helpless after Ning Mingjie had thrown out this bomb. Although Ning Mingjie didn't have a main wife, by saying that his woman was pregnant in front of the princess, wasn't he clearly declaring that he didn't want any development between him and the princess?! What was he thinking?!

This was the same as throwing the imperial n.o.ble consort's plan out the window.

Ning Mingjie actually turned around and started to comfort Pengyue. ”There are a lot of excellent men in Great Song. Your Highness, take your time with looking. There's no need to hurry.”

”Alright.” Pengyue swept her gaze over to the wall to look at Ning Mingjie's calligraphy, then she stood up and said, ”This place only has scholars. How about we go somewhere else?”

Ji Man sighed and also got up. She said to Ning Mingjie, ”Young Master, since you're free today, how about accompanying us for a while?”

”En.” Ning Mingjie didn't refused and followed them as they headed out of Luoyan PaG.o.da.

As Ji Man was walking behind Pengyue, she quietly mumbled, ”Such a pity, such a pity...”

Just from his appearance, there were few women that wouldn't feel interested in Ning Mingjie after seeing him. But, if he wasn't willing, no one could force him.

The carriage would inevitably feel a bit crowded with four people, so Pengyue suggested that they walk around the capital instead of taking the carriage.

Ji Man thought; it was really fortunate that she wasn't wearing modern-day heels. Otherwise, her feet would be covered in blisters by the time she went home after walking so much.

After pa.s.sing Zhangning Street, it was Guyue Street. On both sides of the street, all of the doors were closed on the storefronts. It looked quite desolate.

The princess curiously asked, ”Why is so empty?”

Ning Mingjie swept his gaze around the street. He didn't pretend to be proper and straightforwardly said, ”There will be a lot of people here at nighttime. We're in the red light district.”

Pengyue's face turned red, but there were obviously little stars of interest in her eyes. Ji Man hurriedly led them to a different area. She didn't have the audacity to bring a princess to visit a brothel.

”Sir Nie...” Someone's soft and silky voice drifted down from a nearby upstairs room. The three women didn't hear this voice, but Ning Mingjie had heard it with his sharp ears. He stopped walking and glanced upwards.

Translator Ramblings: I love that Ning Mingjie totally ruined Ji Man and the imperial n.o.ble consort's plan XD.
