Chapter 97: An Emotionless Facial Expression
Translator: Paperplane
Nangong Ba remembered that Liu Rushuang was waiting for him, so he didn’t want to waste his breath any longer. Waving his empty hand, a hint of pink air drifted towards Chu Qingchuan. After he saw Chu Qingchuang had become stupefied, he softly let out just two words. “Move aside!”
Chu Qingchuan couldn’t help but listen to his orders, then gave orders to her troops from Donghua. “Everyone, move aside.
However, people of Donghua didn’t dare disobey the Fifth Princesa. They all took a few steps towards the right to free up enough space on the left.
Nangong Ba coldly smiled with charm, then turned back around and stepped into the palanquin.
The four men in black lifted the palanquin and continued on to their destination.
Liu Rushuang stared coldly out the window as per usual.
Nangong Ba sat opposite from her and shook his head helplessly.
…
When they reached the most high class street, Liu Rushuang passed many shops but never entered a single one.
“Baby, let’s go in into this shop and have a look-see,” Nangong Ba suggested to Liu Rushuang.
Liu Rushuang glanced at the shop beside them called Auspicious Gold, but didn’t say if she was going in. She rarely went window shopping, so it won’t hurt to go in and take a look.
The shop owner saw Nangong Ba and immediately welcomed him. “Greetings young master Nangong. I wonder what the young master is looking for today.”
Nangong Ba didn’t reply, but walked up to Liu Rushuang and affectionately said, “Baby, pick whatever you want.”
Liu Rushuang looked at the selection of hairpins, head ornaments, jades, thumb rings, earrings, pearls, agates, and various types of accessories. She pursed her lips. Although these were high quality accessories, she had several crates of them back at the Blood Feast headquarters. She simply didn’t need any more.
Nangong Ba turned to Liu Rushuang who looked disinterested and asked tentatively with furrowed brows, “Is there nothing you you like?”
“They’re alright, but I already have many. I don’t need them,” replied Liu Rushuang flatly after she heard that question. Then, she turned and walked out.
Nangong Ba tensed up and helplessly followed her out. Don’t tell me there wasn’t anything that could excite his baby?
Liu Rushuang walked out of the shop and continued to walk forward.
Nangong Ba caught up and saw the calm expression on his baby’s face. He knew that there wasn’t anything here his baby wanted. It seemed like money wasn’t going to capture his baby’s heart.
After some thought, Nangong Ba asked, “Baby, how about we go to the Four Oceans Teahouse and listen to some music?”
“Alright,” replied Liu Rushuang nonchalantly.
Nangong Ba suddenly smirked widely at the thought of getting intimate and advancing their romance whilst listening to some music. So, he sweetly said, “It’s just up ahead. I’ll take you there.”
“Alright,” Liu Rushuang flatly replied, as she shivered at Nangong Ba’s sweet affections.
Nangong Ba walked forward with a grin.
After taking a few hundred steps forward, Nangong Ba pointed at the Four Oceans Teahouse. “We’re here. Let’s go in,” he cried.
The middle-aged manager of the Four Oceans Teahouse wore a light blue outer robe over navy blue garments and a black hat with gold details. When the manager saw Nangong Ba, he smiled suddenly in a way as if he was going to kiss up to him. “Young master Nangong, welcome to the Four Oceans Teahouse. How may I help you?” He asked flatteringly with a bow, as he walked up to Nangong Ba.
Nangong Ba shot a dull look at the manager and smiled softly. “Bring out your best Guqin player. I would like to listen to them play.”
“Why of course! I promise young master Nangong would be satisfied,” promptly replied the manager of the Four Oceans Teahouse. Then, he reached his hand out and pointed towards the stairs. “Please allow me to escort the young master Nangong up to our deluxe suite.”
