Chapter 311 - 66 Traveling with Qing Ling
"I need to discuss something with you," Lu Hong heaved a sigh, "Could you please get off me?"
"No, I won’t," Qing Ling said in a coquettish manner, "You don’t know how much I missed you after you left. I definitely won’t let you leave this time!"
Lu Hong bitterly smiled and turned to Earl Bacon, "Now you see why I was afraid to meet her, right?"
"Ha-ha-ha," Earl Bacon laughed heartily, "I’ve watched Qing Ling grow up, but this is the first time I’ve seen her like this. It’s an eye-opener for me."
Qing Ling, get off big brother Lu Hong. It’ll make him uncomfortable," Xiao Hui tugged at her side, regretting ever speaking about Lu Hong to Qing Ling. Her best friend had already shown signs of cheating, and now another bestie was doing the same. Why did every man she slightly fancied end up being snatched away?!
Initially, Xiao Hui only had a slightly favorable impression of Lu Hong, but after two rounds of her best friends’ outrageous behavior, she started to believe she should like him too. Otherwise, why would two of her high-standards friends be intimate with him?
Seeing her daughter unhappy, Earl Bacon curbed his laughter, "Alright, Qing Ling, stop messing around. Now Lu Hong here is a retainer of the Bacon family. You should not be inappropriate. As the Queen of Raoxue, you ought to treat him with courtesy."
"What?" Qing Ling stared at Lu Hong, "Why have you become a retainer for the Bacon family? If you were looking for a place to settle down, wouldn’t Raoxue Castle suffice? Why run off to Kilian West?"
"No, it’s not like that. I’m only representing the Bacon family in the Eagle’s Quest; I didn’t agree to become a retainer," Lu Hong was puzzled, looking at Earl Bacon, "Lord Earl, is there some misunderstanding?"
"No, no," Earl Bacon said, "Since you’re representing my Bacon family in the first seat at the Eagle’s Quest, you naturally become a retainer for my family, with all the corresponding benefits and treatment."
