Chapter 350 A Joke
"Old Prince, may I be so bold as to ask a question?" Master Lin asked with refined elegance.
Prince Cheng looked at him with a smile, "Master Lin, you are my honored guest today. There's no need for such formality. Feel free to speak your mind. I promise to answer everything I know."
Lin Wanrong nodded, pointing at the charming lady in the center of the hall, he whispered, "Prince, could you tell me why we're trying to make this miss laugh? Does she not laugh normally, or perhaps she laughs too much and has cramped her mouth?"
Prince Cheng was taken aback. Who could think of such a thing like laughing so much that it would cramp your mouth? Only Lin San could come up with such an idea. The Prince laughed heartily, patting Master Lin on the shoulder, "Master Lin, you are indeed witty and humorous. I like you. The guest of honor tonight seems to be none other than you. This miss does not lack the ability to laugh, but she has said her smile is reserved for those she favors. Perhaps it might be you, Master Lin!"
"Is that so?" Lin Wanrong squinted his eyes at the lady in the center, chuckling, "This miss indeed has personality. I like it. Actually, laughter is quite an important matter. Ah, Old Prince, what do you think constitutes success in life?" He voiced the last sentence loudly, making sure everyone in the hall could hear him clearly. Upon hearing Master Lin ready to share his wisdom, the buzzing conversations in the hall ceased, everyone perking up their ears to listen.
"I have yet to contemplate that," Prince Cheng responded with a smile, "I am eager to hear Master Lin's insights."
"Prince, of course, has no need to ponder over this. You were born into wealth and prosperity, a golden spoon at your birth. How can we ordinary folks compare to you?" Master Lin chuckled, "If you ask me, becoming successful is quite simple. Men should always strive for progress, and women should always be ready to laugh. Hehe, Prince, being a wise man, you certainly understand at once."
He was a witty man, and his words carried a flavor of playful banter. There were quite a few witty men in the hall who understood his hidden meaning and couldn't help but burst into laughter. It seemed that Master Lin was quite experienced in the world of high society, capable of delivering such subtle jokes.
