"Master, the largest flower boat has been prepared, Miss Nuannuan is ready, would you like to board now?"
The attendant asked solicitously.
"Wait a mont!"
Chen Xuan looked toward Moran City and said indifferently.
"Alright! Waiting for that gentleman from last ti, I presu?"
The attendant asked with a smile on his face.
Chen Xuan turned his head slightly, furrowed his brows, glanced at him, and said, "Be quiet, your reward won’t be lacking!"
"Ah!"
The attendant was montarily stunned but quickly reacted, nodding repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Master! It’s my mistake!"
Then quickly bowed his head.
"Today’s master seems to be in a bad mood!"
The attendant thought to himself.
"Hey, I wonder if there’ll be a reward today!"
He sighed quietly.
Knowing that his monthly wage at the dock was a re five taels of silver, if it weren’t for the extra rewards, he would have quit long ago.
Half an hour later.
A figure slowly approached in mid-air.
A mont later, appeared in front of Chen Xuan.
"What business do you have that must be discussed here?"
Qin Ying frowned sowhat discontentedly, as she didn’t like this place. Could he not tell?
"Hehe!"
Chen Xuan finally broke into a smile.
"The environnt here is pleasant. We haven’t t in a long ti; this place is just right!"
"Besides, soone must serve us, right?"
But even as he said this, Qin Ying looked displeased.
"Enough, let’s go! I’ve arranged everything."
Chen Xuan did not waste words; he directly took her hand and headed toward the flower boat.
"Hmm?"
The attendant found the scene sowhat strange.
"Two grown n... this close?"
Thinking about it made his skin crawl.
"I’ve long heard that those with money and power have peculiar habits; clearly, it’s true!"
He smirked mischievously.
Once aboard, Chen Xuan tossed a bag of silver to the attendant.
"Thank you, Master, enjoy yourself!"
The attendant caressed the money pouch, beaming with joy, and promptly expressed his gratitude.
The flower boat’s second floor.
Nuannuan had everything prepared. Upon seeing Chen Xuan and Qin Ying, she imdiately ca to greet them.
"You two gentlen haven’t visited in ages; Nuannuan missed you dearly!"
She struck flirtatious poses, thinking herself very alluring.
But—
"Leave, we’ll call if we need you!"
With Qin Ying’s simple utterance, Nuannuan was montarily dumbfounded.
What does this an?
Didn’t the flower boat exist for revelry?
And why did this person look at her with such disdain? Disgust?
"Gentleman, this...?"
Nuannuan looked at Chen Xuan awkwardly.
"Go down first, we have matters to discuss; you’ll get what you’re due!"
"Okay, okay! That’s fine!"
Nuannuan suddenly realized, so that’s how it is.
She was the headline act here after all, and thought perhaps she lacked appeal to n.
Moreover, as things she was rightfully owed would still be given.
So she complied, slightly curtsied, intentionally revealing a hint of allure, and sweetly said, "You two gentlen take your ti; Nuannuan will withdraw now."
As she left, she didn’t neglect to cast a seductive glance at Chen Xuan.
"Hehe!"
Chen Xuan nodded with a smile.
Watching the flirtation between them, Qin Ying felt a wave of nausea.
With a flick of her sleeve, she entered the room, sat down with a hint of anger.
"Uh—"
Chen Xuan was slightly stunned, looked at the already seated Qin Ying, and then smiled and approached.
"What’s wrong? You seem in a bad mood today?"
Chen Xuan slowly sat down, took the wine flask, filled a cup, and gently placed it before her. "Drink, and speak your mind!"
"Discontent? Hehe!"
Qin Ying sneered.
For being deceived for so long, her heart was full of discontent toward Chen Xuan.
She really wanted to beat him up right now.
It was simply outrageous.
Chen Xuan maintained a gentle smile, then poured himself a cup of wine, downed it in one go.
His smile faded, replaced by a look of helplessness, "Sotis, circumstances are beyond one’s control!"
He earnestly looked at Qin Ying across from him, "These things you might not understand!"
"Ha!"
Qin Ying coldly chuckled again, being deceived for so long, and now was he playing the victim before her?
She impatiently asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"I’m sorry!"
Chen Xuan said sincerely, then released the aura of the Dao Realm, but imdiately restrained it.
"I’ve always hidden my strength, truly unavoidable, but I can assure one thing: I’ve never harbored any ill intent toward you!"
"Besides, I consider you a true friend!"
When Chen Xuan said the word ’friend,’ Qin Ying’s expression softened sowhat, though... she felt slightly peeved inside.
Just a friend?
Or did he not know she was female?
"What is your relationship with the Ning Family?"
At this point, Qin Ying spoke out her curiosity without reserve.
"She is now my wife!"
Wife... that explains it!
Previously, she thought he was a descendant of Marquis Ning.
"One more question!"
At this mont, Qin Ying stared intently at him.
"Ask, I won’t hide anything!"
Chen Xuan promised.
Today he ca prepared to confess; as long as it didn’t touch his bottom line, he would speak.
"Did you intentionally approach our palace?"
This was very important to her.
Her conflict these days revolved around this.
If Chen Xuan had indeed deliberately approached her, then... she really would do sothing.
"No! I swear by the heavens, absolutely not, and rember, when we first t, wasn’t it you who reached out?"
