Luo Ruanruan was having the worst luck, all because of her unreliable master.
The whole journey was one disaster after another, with assassins popping up constantly. What a thrill!
That taciturn man even looked at her with open disdain. She knew perfectly well what he thought of her!
Still, for the sake of her own life, she could swallow her pride and play along. She could pretend to be blind, but she held grudges!
“I want rose syrup, and lotus-leaf crisps...” Luo Ruanruan knew she was a great contributor now, important enough to do whatever she pleased, so she made all sorts of demands.
“Lord Duke, Miss Luo wants...” The housekeeper, frazzled by her endless requests, reported each one to his master. How could such a delicate young lady have so many whims?
“Give her whatever she wants!” Si Qiheng didn't even furrow his brow. He waved a hand and sent someone to take care of it.
Oh, so she suffered, saved someone, and still had to keep having bad luck?
Were they all going to pick on her? Did they think she was a little lamb anyone could bully?
Just wait until she brings out her secret weapon!
Release Si Qiheng! Hmph!
Watching the little girl stand with her arms crossed, looking smug and haughty as she gave him a pointed look, Si Qiheng felt a hint of amusement enter his usually icy eyes, along with the faintest trace of affection.
A little scene:
“Lord Duke, this humble woman must return to her hometown. My family sent word that they've arranged a marriage for me, so I have to go back.” Luo Ruanruan bowed to him with impeccable manners, looking every inch a refined young lady.
“Thank you for putting up with me all this time.”
“All right.” The sight before Si Qiheng was too painful to bear, and her words grated on his ears. He gritted his teeth and strode away.
