Lin Shuang stood there a bit dejectedly, looking up at Zhao Hongyan: "What did she an by that last sentence? What do you an by being wronged? Is marrying such a wrong to you?"
Indeed, it was a wrong. Such a fine young man had to take a fancy to such an unattractive girl with a bad temper; how could it not be a wrong?
Zhao Hongyan laughed heartily, pulling the sulking Lin Shuang into his arms and said in a voice only they could hear: "Not wronged, not wronged at all. How can those diocre people see the beauty of the woman I love? My woman is the most beautiful and best in the world; no one can compare to you!"
Lin Shuang wrinkled her delicate little nose. Was this guy really having a sudden enlightennt? Now, talking sweetly ca so easily to him. Who had he learned from? Why hadn’t she noticed it before?
Wait a minute!
Lin Shuang suddenly ca to her senses: "What about that old woman? Hurry up and chase her! If we wait any longer, we won’t catch any big fish!"
They had specially dressed up for this scene today, just to lure the fake goods dealers and then follow the clues to find their base of operations.
These fake goods dealers are very cunning. Once they make a deal, they leave the Capital city at lightning speed. If they don’t strike while the iron is hot, today’s effort of luring the snake out of the hole would be wasted!
It’s all Zhao Hongyan’s fault, making them both indulge so much in their banter that they forgot about the serious business!
"Don’t worry!"
Zhao Hongyan pulled the nearly exploding Lin Shuang, amusedly smoothing out her furrowed brows, and laughed: "Since the fake goods dealers can exit the Capital city quickly after the deal, it ans soone must be backing them. In that case, can the two buyers here catch up with them?"
Then what should we do?
Lin Shuang’s eyes widened: "Does that an today’s efforts are wasted?"
Of course, it can’t be wasted!
Zhao Hongyan smiled: "Fool! I already had Xiao Luozi take people to secretly guard the alley entrance. As soon as that old woman leaves, soone will follow. Don’t worry, the people I found are skilled, and I guarantee they won’t lose track!"
So, this guy was prepared all along, making her worry for nothing!
Thinking of this, Lin Shuang felt both excited and sweet, lightly pounding her pink little fist on Zhao Hongyan’s chest, her voice even softer and sweeter.
"You, oh you, since you were prepared all along, why didn’t you tell ? Were you happy seeing worry?"
Ever since Zhao Hongyan proposed to her, Lin Shuang felt an inexplicable emotion towards him she hadn’t noticed before. When speaking, it wasn’t as cold as it used to be.
Perhaps it also had sothing to do with Zhao Hongyan’s sudden sweet-talking!
Lin Shuang’s cute appearance imdiately made Zhao Hongyan’s heart itch, and his head briefly overloaded as all the sweet words Xia Zheng and Lin Yuan taught him seed to vanish, leaving him speechless.
Indeed, he had suddenly beco enlightened; Xia Zheng and Lin Yuan spent an entire night forcing him to morize various sweet words.
Even the elderly Eunuch Chang was called over to play Lin Shuang, having back-and-forth scenes with Zhao Hongyan.
The sweet words from Zhao Hongyan’s mouth almost made Eunuch Chang nauseous, but fortunately, persistence paid off, and he ultimately succeeded.,
But now, facing an unforeseen situation, he didn’t know what to do.
"Hey, what’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you speaking? You were quite good at it before; why aren’t you speaking now?"
Lin Shuang noticed sothing unusual with Zhao Hongyan, couldn’t help but look up at him, eyes full of concern.
Could it be that their acting overdid it, frightening the little nerd?
Lin Shuang blinked, imdiately reflecting on herself internally.
But no matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t find anything she had overdone!
"What’s really wrong with you?"
Lin Shuang’s small hand reached Zhao Hongyan’s face, and without her saying a word, he could feel his face burning hot.
Cold sweat was slowly trickling down his back, and his whole body was nearly stiff.
What to do? What to do?
Zhao Hongyan pursed his lips into a line, staring straight at the girl in front of him.
Suddenly, a scene popped up in his mind.
It was sothing that happened before he left after successfully mastering his skills. Xia Zheng had secretly pulled him aside, cheerfully imparting a killer move to him.
"If you don’t know what to say, then it’s ti to do sothing, like holding hands, or a little kiss."
Holding hands? A little kiss?
Zhao Hongyan’s eyes lit up, but he was already holding Lin Shuang’s hand, so did it an he really needed to do the little kiss?
"Hey! Little nerd? Zhao Hongyan? What’s wrong with you? Why do you look so pale? And why, why are you looking at like that? I, I feel a little..."
Lin Shuang couldn’t continue, because she noticed there seed to be two flas burning in Zhao Hongyan’s eyes, turning his face red and making her breathless and a bit restless.
"Um, are you thirsty? How about, how about I get you so water?"
With that, Lin Shuang turned around to escape this sowhat "dangerous" person.
However, Zhao Hongyan didn’t give her the chance to escape.
She only felt a strong hand tightly gripping her slender arm, and in a dizzying mont, she was pulled back by him, bumping into a warm, broad embrace.
The unique masculine scent of the little nerd quickly filled her nostrils; this should be their first ti having such close contact.
Uh-oh! He’s definitely going to do the little kiss! But I still have the Bright Moon Tower’s lip balm on my lips!
Lin Shuang didn’t even have ti to decide whether to wipe off the lip balm before her lips were blocked by his.
She didn’t know how long it was before the stiff-bodied Lin Shuang was released by Zhao Hongyan. Staring at the man across from her with his lips red and swollen, Lin Shuang burst into laughter.
Zhao Hongyan lightly licked the lip balm on his lips and also laughed: "This Bright Moon Tower’s lip balm truly is fragrant and sweet. But..."
"But what? Isn’t it tasty?"
With her lips similarly sared, Lin Shuang looked at him: "I think it’s quite tasty. Don’t worry, this Bright Moon Tower’s lip balm is all-natural, very healthy, and definitely non-toxic to consu!"
Unknowingly, Lin Shuang’s professional habit kicked in again.
Zhao Hongyan, both amused and a bit exasperated, pulled her back into his arms, his warm eyes closely watching her.
"But you applied too much; I only tasted the lip balm, not your taste. What a pity."
Ah?
Lin Shuang’s face imdiately turned as red as a ripe apple. This guy, he really was getting more skilled and was now able to sweet-talk without blushing or skipping a beat.
She never realized before how much of a sly wolf this guy was. What a waste of her pair of bright eyes!
