Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good

Chapter 68b: Promissory Note

Regaining his senses, Nalan Ye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Yesterday, this lass said that she was going to start a fire. He didn’t expect that she would really do it. Someone as daring as her, who dared to set fire to his Prince’s Mansion, probably couldn’t be found in the entire capital......no, it should be the entire country of Western Chu. Besides her, there probably wasn’t a second person, right?

A moment ago, when he heard that there was a fire, Nalan Ye’s first reaction was to worry about her, but now, finding out that the fire was actually caused by her, besides feeling relieved, there was additionally a headache coming on. It seemed that obtaining this little lass’ heart would not be such an easy matter.

Seeing that he wasn’t speaking, with an expression that didn’t look so good, Luo Qing Luan felt delight in his calamity as she walked towards him. She directed her raised eyebrows towards him and said, “How’s it, Nalan Ye, does it look good? I’ve already been benevolent enough. Last night, your people blocked me and wouldn’t let me go home. I’m helping you teach them a lesson. Now that the room’s gone, there’s no place to live. Are you still going to force me to stay?”

“Believe it or not......”

Chuckling, how could Nalan Ye not tell that if he still continued to force her to stay, very possibly, it wouldn’t be a few days before the entire Prince’s Mansion would be completely razed to the ground by her.

He didn’t care whether his house was burned down, but some secrets within this mansion could not be allowed to be discovered. It would seem that he lost this match.

Even though he was already prepared to let Luo Qing Luan go home, Nalan Ye didn’t let his intention show on the surface. His expression was indifferent, an appearance of not caring at all. Turning around, he only said three words. “Come with me.”

Sauntering away, he walked in a calm and composed manner, as if he didn’t see the room burning down into ruins.

Within the mansion’s rear garden, where no one was there, just as before, the thick smoke was visible in the sky. Even though it was shrinking, Nalan Ye understood well that when he attended imperial court again, the Emperor would no doubt ask this and that. All of the officials would hear about it.

Let’s not worry about his first. He needed to take care of the matter in front of him before going further.

This lass truly made him feel both love and hate. He couldn’t bear to hurt her, love......sigh, she seemed to hate him with a passion.

“Tell me, Nalan Ye, what do you want? Are you planning to still ask me to stay here for a few more days?” Luo Qing Luan folded her arms as her dark and moist eyes brimmed with a smiling expression. Several days of gloominess had been swept clean. That shining expression on her face made her seem even more quick-witted and alluring. She was full of vitality.

“I know that you want to go home. Since you’re so determined, then I won’t hold you back. However......”

“However what?” She was quite pleased with herself. Looks like she should’ve set the fire earlier, then she would’ve been able to leave already.

Nalan Ye stood with hands clasped behind his back, the edge of his lips displaying a knowing smile. If other people were to see his former icy gloominess swept away from his originally handsome appearance, their jaws would drop.

He was wearing all black, with a jade buckle at his waist. His hair as black as ink was bundled with a jasper crown at the top of his head. His build was tall and lofty, brimming with an intense masculine charm. He gazed at Luo Qing Luan, voice incomparably gentle. “Qing Luan, as long as you agree to a request of mine, then it’s a deal, but a verbal agreement won’t do. Once the agreement is put on paper, then I’ll immediately let you go. How’s that?”

A request, and it even needed to be on paper? Once she heard this, Luo Qing Luan had a feeling that she was being schemed against.

This man facing her looked cultured, but who didn’t know that he was ice-cold and two-faced? During the past two days, he had been crazily changing at any moment. How could she tell if he was plotting something or not.

It’s just that, Luo Qing Luan had also thought about it. She couldn’t figure out what Nalan Ye could possibly do to her. Although she was a general’s daughter, Luo Cheng simply didn’t value her. She merely had a name, that’s all. As for other aspects?

Besides being somewhat favored recently by the empress, she didn’t possess anything else. And this point wasn’t worth Nalan Ye planning anything against her, right?

No matter what, let’s just leave this Prince’s Mansion first and leave these questions for another day. Luo Qing Luan pondered over it one more time, and finally replied. “Fine. Fetch brush and paper. I’ll just write it down for you.”

Once Nalan Ye put away the agreement personally penned by her, a light quickly flashed through his eyes. He had someone send her off, then regained his normally coldly indifferent demeanor. It’s just that, no one else but him knew just how delighted he was at the moment. It wouldn’t be long until this little lass will thoroughly belong to him.

To be able to be together with her, mm hm, this feeling will surely be very good.

......

She originally thought that when she returned home, Luo Cheng would give her quite a piece of his mind. Who would have thought, not only did he not yell at her, Luo Cheng instead praised her abundantly. Luo Qing Luan was totally speechless.

“Heh heh, Qing Luan, looks like Her Highness the Empress really is very fond of you. She surprisingly detained you at the palace for three days in a row.” Luo Cheng was quite pleased with himself. It looked like sooner or later, he’s going to become the country’s future father-in-law. After more thought, he asked ambiguously, “During these past few days, did the Crown Prince come and see you? Did the two of you......”

Luo Qing Luan impatiently broke him off. “Father, I just came home and am very tired. Let me rest first, alright?”

“Tired? Didn’t you stay in the palace just to chat with Her Highness? Why would you be......”

“I’m just tired, leave it be. Father, stop talking about it. In a couple of days, maybe the Empress will come visit our General’s Mansion. Father, you should quickly have people go make preparations, properly clean the place. Don’t slight Her Highness.” After she finished speaking, she just pushed Luo Cheng out of the room without any trace of politeness.

“What? Her Highness is coming in a few days?” Luo Cheng was overcome with joy, and could care less about asking after Luo Qing Luan, and promptly left to look for the steward.
