Chapter 433 Excellent Acting Skills
“You haven’t reached the age of marriage yet, but we can get engaged first.” Luo Qianmo gave a “I understand” look, but his words almost made Fang Qingyou vomit blood.
Sure enough, once you're entangled with this rogue prince, it won't be so easy to get away.
"Eighth Prince, do you think the Emperor will agree to your request even if this is the case?" Fang Qingyou seemed to be just wondering, but she was actually reminding Luo Qianmo of the difficulties he was facing.
In her opinion, Emperor Mingde had high expectations for Luo Qianmo. If he really wanted to pass the throne to him, he probably wouldn't choose a princess consort with a status similar to hers for him.
The only uncertainty is whether Luo Qianmo will listen to Emperor Mingde.
It's clear that Luo Qianmo doesn't have much respect or affection for his father, the emperor.
“Of course I will agree,” Luo Qianmo said firmly.
Fang Qingyou's lips twitched. She really didn't know where Luo Qianmo got his confidence from. No matter how strong he was, this world would ultimately belong to Emperor Mingde.
Besides, experience is the best teacher; can Luo Qianmo really outmaneuver Emperor Mingde?
"Ugh..." Fang Qingyou suddenly pressed her head, looking like she had a terrible headache.
After all, he was a doctor, and he really made sure to portray his discomfort perfectly.
Unable to argue with Luo Qianmo, he could only pretend to be uncomfortable.
"Youyou, what's wrong?" Fang Qingyou's act was so convincing that even Luo Qianmo was fooled. His expression changed instantly, and his voice became tense.
"My head... my head hurts," Fang Qingyou said, feigning weakness.
"Call Yue Lian over immediately!" Luo Qianmo commanded towards the door.
Upon hearing this, Fang Qingyou couldn't help but laugh to herself. It seemed that her acting skills were really good; she had actually managed to fool Luo Qianmo, who had such sharp eyes.
However, he dared not show a smile on his face.
Yue Lian arrived quickly, and the examination revealed that Fang Qingyou's headache was due to drunkenness. She massaged her for a while.
Fang Qingyou's head had been hurting for a while, but the pain was bearable. After Yue Lian's massage, she felt much better.
Unbeknownst to her, Fang Qingyou's consciousness grew increasingly hazy, and in the end, she unknowingly fell asleep.
After Yue Lian finished massaging Fang Qingyou, she was about to ask her how she felt when she noticed that Fang Qingyou's head was tilted to the side and she looked like she had fallen asleep.
However, it turned out that Fang Qingyou had indeed fallen asleep.
Luo Qianmo had obviously noticed this as well, so when Yue Lian was about to report Fang Qingyou's situation to him, he gave her a disapproving look.
Yue Lian understood Luo Qianmo's meaning and silently withdrew.
Luo Qianmo, however, gently laid Fang Qingyou flat on the bed after Yue Lian left and covered her with a blanket.
His expression was a mixture of helplessness and doting.
He had overheard Fang Qingyou's drunken ramblings earlier, and had just talked to her about marriage; he genuinely wanted to discuss these matters with her.
To his surprise, she fell asleep just as he started talking.
Besides these things, he also wanted to tell her that she shouldn't drink outside anymore, and especially shouldn't get drunk.
She should also be punished for getting drunk this time.
But now it's too late to say these things.
Hearing the even breathing sounds around him, his gaze softened with affection.
It's rare to see this little woman still able to fall asleep under these circumstances.
"Coo-coo—" Just then, a rhythmic bird call suddenly came from outside.
Luo Qianmo's expression remained unchanged, but he glanced at the direction from which the birdsong came, and then turned back to look at Fang Qingyou.
"Youyou, sleep a little longer. I'll be back after I've finished dealing with these things."
Then, Luo Qianmo strode out.
Luo Qianmo left, but Yue Lian and a maidservant stood respectfully outside, waiting for Fang Qingyou to give them any instructions.
In the study, Xuan Zhu reported, "Your Highness, our attack has been launched, and news should arrive tomorrow."
Luo Qianmo nodded slightly; this progress was about what he had estimated.
Turning his gaze, his dark eyes seemed to pierce through layers of obstacles, as if looking all the way to the First Prince's residence.
His deep eyes were filled with ink, like a thick night.
Luo Qianhao, this day is finally coming.
Fang Qingyou, tomorrow, Luo Qianhao will pay a heavy price for the harm he has caused you.
Just wait and see.
When Luo Qianmo finished his work, Fang Qingyou was still asleep, seemingly fast asleep.
She must have drunk the hangover soup to feel much better. As she slept, her brows were relaxed, without a single furrowed crease.
When Fang Qingyou woke up, it was already getting dark.
Realizing this, she was extremely annoyed. She had intended to avoid discussing those topics with Luo Qianmo, but unexpectedly, she ended up falling asleep.
This sleep resulted in her staying in Luo Qianmo's villa for such a long time.
To Fang Qingyou's relief, Luo Qianmo did not insist on taking her back. She was afraid that if he did, the rumors about her and him would spread even more widely.
Although the rumors about their relationship are still circulating, they are both still unmarried, so there seems to be some room for negotiation.
Fang Qingyou finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting into the carriage that returned to the Fang residence.
Although Luo Qianmo did not personally escort her back, he did send Xuanhuang.
After leaving Luo Qianmo's villa, Fang Qingyou first went to Cheng'an Medical Clinic.
After being away for several months, the place is now overflowing with patients and doctors every day.
Seeing the state of the clinic, it seems that expanding the clinic and opening branches should be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, she's not in the right state to discuss these serious matters right now.
She came here to see She Yuyan, but she didn't expect that She Yuyan had already left before her.
Of course, She Yuyan's hangover has subsided.
Fang Qingyou had no choice but to return home.
Fang Qingyou originally wanted Xuanhuang to take her outside the mansion, but Xuanhuang insisted on taking her to the courtyard.
Knowing that this was probably Luo Qianmo's order, Fang Qingyou could only feel helpless.
Xuanhuang is a prodigy with incredible practical skills, but he has one major flaw: he is extremely inflexible.
Simply put, it means they have very low emotional intelligence.
He's perfectly capable in his work, but his personality is such that if his master says one thing, he'll never say another.
Knowing that Xuanhuang was Luo Qianmo's man, Fang Xing'an gave him face and allowed him to escort Fang Qingyou back. He even went out of his way to have someone lead the way for Xuanhuang.
Fang Qingyou inwardly scorned Fang Xing'an. In principle, men were not allowed to enter the inner courtyard at will, but because of Xuanhuang's status, Fang Xing'an made an exception so easily.
