Chapter 201.2 - Eloping with someone

“....” Leng Yichen was so angry he didn’t say anything, his face scrunched up.

After half a moment, he spat out a person’s name, “Xiliang country’s seventh princess, Xiliang Li.”

“En? Xiliang country?” Lou Qingwu’s expression froze.


“What, do you know her?”

“I don’t know her but in a few days, the Xiliang ambassador should be here. I suddenly heard that news, so I thought it was a coincidence.”

“I don’t know what you women are thinking, exactly what does she not like about me? To actually dare to run away from marriage?” Him not running away should’ve been enough for her!

If it wasn’t a marriage that was arranged before birth, he definitely would have remained a bachelor for a few more years.

“She probably dislikes that you’re not gentle enough.” She looked at the cold faced and harsh general, she’d never seen him any differently.


“How can you ask someone with facial paralysis to be gentle? Otherwise, this manor master will get someone to concoct a poison to make you feel how it is to have facial paralysis?” Leng Yichen’s eyes narrowed.


“Alright! I’m wrong, okay? Seeing as the person has already run away, it probably means she doesn’t want to marry you. Just break the engagement then!”

“No! If she was to discuss this with me beforehand, I would’ve considered it. But for her to dare to run away, how can I keep my powerful image in front of my subordinates?” Leng Yichen rejected her suggestion straight away.

He was going to go through with this marriage, “I’ve already sent people to go and find her. They said that she ran away to here, and this capital is only so big so I don’t believe I won’t be able to find her!”

“...” Lou Qingwu lifted up her head to swig some more wine, “Seeing as you’ve already decided, why did you come to find me?”

“This manor master’s mood is bad, play a song for me.”

“Have you drunk enough?” Lou Qingwu looked at him expressionlessly. “I’ve suffered grave injuries and just drinking with you is risking my life. And you want a song played? Why don’t you go to Changle lane, the four great beauties are awaiting your presence.”

“No! I’m bored.” Leng Yichen watched her lazily, “Previously, I heard that you bargained with Yue Ji to give me 80% of the profits? If you play me a song and my mood improves, I’ll give you 30% instead.”

“Really?” Lou Qingwu’s eyes flashed brightly.

“This manor master’s words are solid!”

“Alright, looking up that 30%, I’ll reluctantly play you a song. What do you want to hear, just pick one.”

“Hmph, I just know that you want nothing but profit.” Leng Yichen’s eyes finally held a hint of laughter.

Even though his face was as cold as always, it looked more gentle than before.

Lou Qingwu raised a brow, “As if you’re not a greedy businessman yourself.”

“I can’t beat you with words.”

“Then, why don’t we do 50-50?” Lou Qingwu floated to the zither stand not too far away as she looked up at him, her eyes still bright.

Leng Yichen’s finger traced the edge of his cup before looking at her, “Can you be any more greedy?”

Lou Qingwu shrugged, he really didn’t have a sense of humour.

Her ten fingers rested on the zither before plucking a string, testing the sound.

Then her ten fingers started to play, lightly plucking the strings as a light zither sound quickly filled the air.

It was like a sudden white moonlight in the dark night sky, making a listener’s heart unable to help but feel happy.
