Chapter 525: The Price
Seeing the excitement on Song Qingshu’s face, Huang Rong couldn’t help but scoff, “Why are you so excited?”
“Uh…” Song Qingshu was momentarily speechless. He couldn’t very well admit that he enjoyed being in the company of such a beautiful woman.
Huang Rong’s expression turned serious. “Young Master Song, I stated clearly before that I stayed here to learn your military tactics for potential use in Xiangyang City. Please, do not get any wrong ideas.” She then left directly, leaving Song Qingshu stunned on the spot.
‘What does she mean by asking me not to get the wrong idea? Clearly, she’s the one overthinking, right?’ Song Qingshu couldn’t help but grumble inwardly.
“She’s already gone, but you still can’t let go?” Zhou Zhiruo’s teasing voice quickly reached his ears.
Turning around, he found several women watching him with half-smiles. Song Qingshu awkwardly chuckled, “What do you mean ‘can’t let go’? I was just pondering something.”
“More like pondering which girl to pursue first,” Zhou Zhiruo quipped, prompting Ah Jiu to join in. Though generally more magnanimous, she couldn’t help but feel uneasy seeing Song Qingshu flirt with so many women.
“The most beautiful among the Red Coat Army is this little sister. If Brother Song doesn’t mind, I can keep you company,” Ah Jiu imitated Yang Miaozhen’s demeanor flawlessly, then spat in disgust, “That woman really has no shame!”
“Yang Miaozhen grew up among outlaws, surrounded by coarse men. Naturally, she lacks the reserved nature of someone like you, Ah Jiu, a true lady of noble birth,” Xia Qingqing, who had remained silent, now joined in on teasing Ah Jiu, seeing that no outsiders were present.
