Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

Chapter 148: Visiting Chongyang

Rest day -

Today is the Double Ninth Festival. Ran Qianxi woke up from Yun Shuang's bed, still sleepy.

Five days ago, he promised Shu Han that he would go find him, so he clumsily put on his clothes before he was fully awake. Unexpectedly, the noise of getting out of bed woke up Yun Shuang.

He woke up slowly, but still felt sleepy. Under his pajamas, he looked tall, strong, graceful and upright.

"Leaving now?"

After years of contact, the prince fell more and more in love with her.

"I also made an appointment with a friend today."

Yun Shuang got out of bed reluctantly, a look of worry on his handsome face.

"What kind of friends are they? You always say that. Young Master Qian and Young Master Shang are both staying in the flower room. Why are you so anxious to find them?"

Ran Qianxi turned around and helped him back to the bed. The pleading look in his eyes was as sharp as torches.

"Hello Yunshuang, today is the Double Ninth Festival. You and your friends can go boating on the lake. I will come over in the evening."

After saying that, he took out a stack of banknotes and put them into Yun's hands.

"Take the flowers first. If you don't have enough, go to Sui Xue's house."

Yun Shuang looked at the banknotes in his hand and smiled sadly and sarcastically.

"You really treat me like a whore for others to have fun with."

His voice was light and Ran Qianxi was getting dressed so she didn't hear it. She resolutely threw him into the greenhouse.

"I'm leaving~"

Yun Shuang did not respond, and Ran Qianxi turned back.

"Why don't you speak?"

He looked up and Ran Qianxi suddenly felt a chill on his back.

"Am I qualified to speak?"

Ran Qianxi stood there awkwardly, not daring to coax him. He seemed to be in a state of panic today.

"Forehead……"

Yun Shuang slowly stood up. She stared blankly. At this moment, it seemed as if there was something wrong with her breathing.

"Thank you for the reward, Miss Ran Er. Since you are busy, I won't give you any."

Ran Qianxi grinned at a loss. Yun Shuang had already walked to the back room, but the banknotes were left on the bed untouched.

She had no idea that she had incurred another debt of love because of her momentary impulse.

She picked up the banknote, placed it on the dressing table, and walked out of the greenhouse half-comprehendingly.

Yun Shuang put on her clothes and came out. Looking at the banknotes on the table, she got angry and smashed the dressing table with one palm!

A 'pop' sound was heard, causing Ran Qianxi, who was not far away, to shudder all over...

"Oh my God, what happened to him? He slipped away..."

Jianyu came over upon hearing the noise and immediately knelt down upon seeing the situation.

"Your Highness, calm down."

Yun Shuang turned back slowly.

"Arrange matters as soon as possible and return to the royal court at the end of the year."

"Yes!"

As Ran Qianxi walked on the road, she became more and more confused. She had no idea why Yun Shuang suddenly got angry.

Just as he was frowning, Shu Han came towards him.

"Why are you here?"

Shu Han took a step forward, his eyes filled with longing and happiness.

"I guess you must have gone to the Moon Catching Tower last night. I'm afraid you might be stuck there and can't come to accompany me today."

Ran Qianxi smiled and put her hand on his shoulder.

"Haha, don't worry, although I am a playboy, I am still trustworthy."

Shu Han smiled faintly, his eyes filled with her beautiful face.

"Yes, I know. Breakfast first?"

Ran Qianxi readily agreed.

"Okay, let's go."

After breakfast, the two of them paraded side by side in the streets, but they ran into Shang Zijun and Ke Nian.

On the long street, among the flowers, she went out with the gentleman, and Shang Zijun reluctantly passed by them.

Shu Han turned around and looked at Shang Zijun's back. He had already investigated everything about Ran Qianxi.

"A gentleman's bearing is extraordinary. He speaks his mind with deep emotion."

Ran Qianxi frowned and looked at Shu Han in surprise.

"Speak human language..."

Shu Han smiled.

"In short, it's a pity that you didn't have a happy ending with him."

Ran Qianxi rubbed her brows helplessly. It turned out that the scholar's speech was like singing an opera, and she could only listen to the noise.

"Have some tea first?"

Shu Han smiled and smoothed her long hair.

"Listen to you."

Ran Qianxi nodded in response, and just as she arrived at the door of the teahouse, she saw Cheng Mo and Jiang Rumei drinking tea in the West Room B on the second floor.

"Mom...what day is today..."

Shu Han glanced at Cheng Mo, who was elegant and quiet, and somewhat gentler than Shang Zijun.

"Then let's change one?"

Ran Qianxi went upstairs calmly and walked into Jiazi Tianhao, and Dr. Tea came over attentively.

"No, this is my private room. The view of the Imperial City from here is the best."

Shu Han sat down as well. Cheng Mo turned his head and couldn't help but sigh when he saw him.

"Meilan is a talented person. Her standards are always so high."

Jiang Rumei followed Cheng Mo's gaze and looked over there. She was jealous of Ran Qianxi's appearance again.

Shu Han looked back again when he heard the voice. Their eyes met and he took the initiative to bow.

"Be polite."

Ran Qianxi was ordering a variety of snacks and gave him a confused look.

"What are you doing?"

After saying this, Cheng Mo bowed in return.

"Same ceremony."

Ran Qianxi looked back and gave Jiang Rumei a fake smile.

"Wow, look at her smile, it's so fake."

As time passed, she understood that Shang Zijun felt regretful, but Cheng Mo was unwilling to give up.

"You don't know. He said he loved me to death. He even bought me snacks in the pouring rain. But I protected his dignity in the snow. He dumped me when he became an official. Did you know that?"

Ran Qianxi drank a glass of water angrily.

"Damn it, this is the first time I've been dumped!"

"Hahaha."

Shu Han laughed a few times, with a hint of embarrassment in his smile.

"Hey! What are you laughing at?"

"Haha, from what I hear you don't love him, you just don't want to."

Ran Qianxi ordered osmanthus cake and phoenix leaf tea, and waved her hand for the tea doctor to leave.

"Yeah, I just can't accept it. I've never been dumped since I was a kid."

Shu Han laughed a few more times. Men can always see through other men.

"So he married someone who loved him."

Ran Qianxi was speechless and put down her raised finger again.

"I won't tell you much, all men are the same."

"Haha, don't be angry. Anger is bad for your health."

Ran Qianxi raised her eyes and glanced at Shu Han.

"So do you marry the one you love, or the one who loves you?"

Shu Han looked at her seriously, with love in his eyes.

"If it was you, I would definitely not care whether you loved me or not, and I would definitely marry you into the County Marquis's Mansion."

Ran Qianxi slammed the table and stood up, unable to hide her excitement. She finally found a resonance.

"Yes, if you are not blind, you will definitely marry me!"

When Cheng Mo heard the voice, he immediately turned to look at Ran Qianxi. After a moment, he turned his gaze back in impatience.

"let's go."

Jiang Rumei stood up softly and helped Cheng Mo up.

"Let's go, husband."

Watching the two people leave, Shu Han turned his eyes and smiled again.

"Will you marry him then?"

"Forehead……"

Ran Qianxi was suddenly speechless and stagnant when faced with a question that touched her soul.

"Won't…"

Dr. Tea brought the tea and Shu Han picked up a piece and handed it to her.

"That's right. He knows you won't marry him. Instead of making him sad by rejecting him with all your might, it's better for him to take the initiative to give you an answer."

Ran Qianxi didn't believe it at all. It was clearly his cowardice, and it was never love. Instead, it was a kind of vanity. He manipulated him to prove to everyone that the poor scholar was worthy of the rich girl in the eyes of others.

"Tsk, that's so pompous. You talented scholars are the best at speaking."

evening-

The two of them strolled around Chongyang for a while, then checked into the inn and didn't plan to leave until the evening.

Shu Han's hug today was more stingy than usual, and it was all affection in bed.

"You seem different today..."

Shu Han couldn't bear to let go and kept touching her, his love was out of control.

"What's the difference?"

"Hmm... I can't tell... it was different just now..."

Shu Han hugged her deeper into his arms.

“My skills have never been good.”

Ran Qianxi slowly crawled out of his arms, and Shu Han kissed her deeply on the forehead.

"It feels like it's getting worse, but it makes me feel good."

Shu Han took her into his arms again, smiled faintly and said nothing.

From the first time to now, he was deeply aware that Ran Qianxi had given her status to Wei Jiguo, and he was even more confident and sober, knowing that the two of them could not achieve a happy ending, but now he wanted to make a desperate effort to propose to her.

"Okay, let's go back. I have something to do tonight."

"it is good."
