Chapter 988 - 990 Are You Going to Pay Up_1
"Are you going to pay or not?"
Commandery Princess Dongyang glanced at the dour-faced Mu Shaoling, who was not even looking her way, and the shopkeeper insisting that she pay compensation, but she had no money. After a moment’s thought, she quickly moved to Mu Shaoling’s side. Before he could push her away, she quickly planted a kiss on Mu Shaoling, causing him to freeze on the spot.
A crowd of onlookers froze as well.
Luo Linhao: "My goodness, this is too sensational! Even my Yunyun would check to see if anyone was watching her, but this girl is divine."
Mu Shaofeng: "I think it’s necessary to have a word with my great-uncle to prepare for a wedding feast."
Upon hearing this, Mu Shaoling fixed him with a piercing stare.
Only when Mu Shaofeng looked away, did he turn his attention back to the giggling girl clinging to his arm.
The Commandery Princess Dongyang seemed completely oblivious to the icy aura emanating from him and directly told the stunned shopkeeper, "See? He really is my fiancé, so ask him for the money."
"But but..." the shopkeeper began to protest, feeling it was quite clear to see that the handsome young man seemed to be coerced.
"Oh, come on, no buts," Luo Linhao intervened as he stepped forward, slinging an arm around the shopkeeper and started to drag him downstairs, "That girl is with us. Just add the door fee to our account, and I’ll settle it all when I leave, alright?"
Having remembered that the three of them came together, the shopkeeper naturally had no objections after hearing Luo Linhao speak.
"Right, go ahead and prepare another room too—the previous one obviously can’t be used anymore."
At this moment, whether intentionally or not, the shopkeeper asked, "Don’t we need to open another room?" While speaking, he glanced in the direction of Commandery Princess Dongyang, his implication clear.
Luo Linhao just chuckled, "Old shopkeeper, you really don’t get it. Fiancés are as good as married, so it’s fine for them to stay in one room. If we open two, wouldn’t that be interrupting their good time? Right or not?"
"Right, right, right."
As the shopkeeper nodded in agreement, he only realized his mistake when he reached downstairs, thinking to himself, why would fiancés count as married? They aren’t wed yet, so how can they be considered husband and wife? How can they stay together? What about the lady’s reputation?
No, that’s not right either! The shopkeeper slapped himself on the head and finally thought, why should it matter to him whether they are a couple or stay together? He really was worrying about nothing.
Upstairs.
"What... what on earth are you trying to do?"
Mu Shaoling was utterly exasperated with this girl. Her thick skin was even worse than Yang Chuxia’s. Way over in Funan, Yang Chuxia suddenly sneezed several times.
"Marry you, what else would I want to do?"
"I don’t like you, and I won’t marry you," Mu Shaoling said indifferently.
Commandery Princess Dongyang, not the least bit unhappy, chuckled and responded, "That’s okay. As long as I like you, that’s enough. Whether you will marry me or not is not certain yet."
Commandery Princess Dongyang propped her chin with her hand and thought, If this princess is displeased, I might just ask the Emperor for an arranged marriage. Then we’ll see if you marry me or not.
"Brother Shaoling, I opened up a new room for you, right next door."
It was then that Luo Linhao came back upstairs, seeing Mu Shaoling sitting gloomily at the table with Commandery Princess Dongyang close beside him, yet he hadn’t pushed her away, and he just laughed.
