"But there's nothing wrong with having homosexual tendencies," she said, feigning indifference.
Fu Rongchen narrowed his eyes. "Nothing?" He suddenly became angry. "Do you know that besides having homosexual tendencies, Young Master Wang also likes to go to brothels?"
Sensing the man's displeasure, Shangguan Yanran was taken aback. "Fu Rongchen, are you angry?"
Fu Rongchen glanced at her, and seeing her carefree attitude, he felt even more irritated. He picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and said indifferently, "What's the use of making others angry if you don't even cherish yourself?"
Shangguan Yanran blinked, feeling that he was quite different from usual today.
He became more talkative, and surprisingly, he even got angry, something he usually doesn't like.
She gave him a scrutinizing look and blurted out, "Then why are you angry?"
"You're overthinking it. I'm not angry," Fu Rongchen denied outright.
Shangguan Yanran suddenly sighed and said with some distress, "But my mother thinks highly of Young Master Wang. Last night she told me how wonderful he is and that he will definitely be a good match for me."
Fu Rongchen frowned deeply. "He's really not a good match. You'll regret it if you marry him."
"Really?" Shangguan Yanran bit her lip. "But my mother wouldn't harm me, would she? If Young Master Wang is really that bad, why does no one know about him? On the contrary, he has a pretty good reputation in the capital."
Fu Rongchen's gaze darkened, and he asked, "Have you met him in person?"
Shangguan Yanran shook her head, "No."
“Since you haven’t seen it, don’t jump to conclusions. Besides, a person’s reputation can be built,” Fu Rongchen said.
Shangguan Yanran thought for a moment and said, "But you say he has homosexual tendencies, but there's no evidence. If I tell my mother, she'll definitely think it's an excuse I made up to avoid meeting Young Master Wang. How about this, you take me to see him. If it's true, then I can refuse to meet him in front of my mother."
Upon hearing this, Fu Rongchen neither agreed nor disagreed. Just then, a waiter brought in the dishes, and the two ended their conversation.
After finishing our meal, we left Wangchun Tower, and it was already late.
Looking at the bustling night market in the distance, Shangguan Yanran felt a little itchy to go. "Fu Rongchen, you go back first. I'll wander around for a bit before I go back." With that, she ran towards the lively area.
Fu Rongchen had already noticed her little scheme and stopped her at the right time, saying, "We can go there another day. Tonight, I'll take you somewhere else."
"Where?" Shangguan Yanran asked, somewhat surprised.
"Do you want to go?" Fu Rongchen didn't answer, but asked in return.
Shangguan Yanran thought for a moment and reluctantly agreed, "However, let me make this clear: if the place you take me isn't fun, you'll have to treat me to dinner tomorrow and the day after."
Upon hearing this, Fu Rongchen recalled how she had devoured everything at Wangchun Tower earlier.
He realized for the first time that although she looked thin, she had a good appetite, unlike typical young ladies who only ate until they were half full.
"Hmm." He nodded, then turned and walked to the side.
Shangguan Yanran was taken aback, and quickly chased after her.
"Wait for me."
Fu Rongchen slowed down and waited for her to catch up.
“Fu Rongchen, I think you’re acting strange today,” Shangguan Yanran suddenly said.
Fu Rongchen glanced at her but didn't say anything. He heard the girl chattering on and on: "You're suddenly being so nice to me, treating me to meals and taking me out. You're not planning to take me somewhere deserted and then sell me, are you?"
