Chapter 670 Little Monster As night deepened, the bedroom of the Luo family mansion was quiet and still.
The calming incense burned with wisps of smoke, its faint woody aroma filling the air and making one feel completely relaxed.
On the soft, large bed, Luo Shuling and Shen Qingling lay side by side, covered with the same fluffy silk quilt.
Shen Qingling wore a black silk nightgown. The smooth fabric clung to her skin, perfectly outlining her stunning curves. Her shoulders and neck were beautifully defined, and her skin glowed with a delicate sheen under the warm light.
Luo Shuling was dressed in a cute light pink pajama set, with delicate strawberry patterns embroidered on the cuffs and hem. She looked playful, but if you lifted a corner of the blanket, you could see that her figure was in no way inferior to Shen Qingling's. Her slender waist and full curves created a perfect contrast, making her equally charming.
Neither of the two stunningly beautiful young women spoke; they lay there quietly, their eyes fixed on the exquisite carvings on the ceiling, each lost in their own thoughts, waiting for the other to break the silence first.
The only sound in the bedroom was the faint crackling of burning incense, creating a subtly quiet atmosphere.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Qingling finally couldn't hold back any longer. She turned to look at Luo Shuling's profile, her tone both urgent and solemn:
"So, can you tell me the whole story now?"
"Sure." Luo Shuling turned her head, smiled at her, and said slowly, her eyes filled with a tender, reminiscent light:
"That was eight years ago, in winter... no, it should be earlier, in summer, during summer vacation, when Shuhe and I went..."
She spoke slowly and calmly, recounting her past experiences in detail, from her solo journey to the capital to find her relatives, to her first conversation with Luo Qidong, to Luo Qidong's cultivation of her over the years, the transactions with the Luo family, the various arrangements for the marriage alliance, and the subsequent maneuvers, explaining every detail with great clarity.
Shen Qingling listened quietly, her body slightly turned to the side, her gaze focused intently on Luo Shuling's face.
Her expression gradually became more varied, from initial calm to surprise, then to confusion, and finally even took on a strange look.
It's hard to imagine that this seemingly carefree girl actually has so many thoughts hidden within her, managing such a complex situation so well.
What do you mean by asking the Luo family for power for Shu He's happiness, then acting as matchmaker to bring Luo Liang and Gu Feng together, and finally dragging all the sisters into it?
At first, Luo Shuling really just wanted Luo Shuhe to recognize Gu Luo, but who would have thought that Luo Shuhe was so stubborn in the beginning, and Luo Shuning beat her to it.
Two hours later, Luo Shuling finally stopped talking.
Shen Qingling stood there stunned for a long time before she incredulously reached out and gently touched Luo Shuling's cheek, murmuring:
"Are you a monster? You were only eight years old when you gained Grandpa Luo's approval, were able to negotiate terms with him, and were able to plan out so many years of things to come?"
Luo Shuling blinked her clear eyes, her tone quite frank:
"Yes, when Grandpa first met me, he said I was a little monster."
"......"
Shen Qingling opened her mouth, but found herself unable to utter a single word. She leaned back against the headboard, closed her eyes, and tried her best to process the massive amount of information.
After a long while, she slowly exhaled, opened her eyes, and asked in a deep voice:
"Putting everything else aside, what do you plan to do about the marriage arranged by Old Master Luo?"
If the other party were in ancient times, they would truly be a prince.
Mentioning this, Luo Shuling instantly reverted to her usual carefree demeanor, a sly glint in her eyes, and said nonchalantly:
"Isn't that simple? I'll go sleep with my brother tomorrow. If I didn't have to avoid Aunt Liu's inspection today, I would have already given in."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingling suddenly sat up, rubbing her throbbing temples, her tone tinged with helplessness and worry:
"Can you be serious? You know better than I what kind of person Grandpa Luo is. He doesn't care about family ties. If you do this, it's like slapping him in the face. He'll definitely make trouble for you and Gu Luo."
Luo Shuling was not afraid at all; on the contrary, she laughed even more happily.
She sat up, put her arm around Shen Qingling's shoulder, rested her head on her shoulder, and said with a hint of smugness:
"Don't worry, Aunt Liu's next check-up is next year. I can use the Luo family's resources to pave the way for the whole year. By then, my brother will have grown up, and even if Luo Qidong wants to cause trouble, he'll have to think twice."
She paused, narrowed her eyes, and spoke with a sly honesty:
"That's why I dragged you into this too. More people means more security. If we're tied together, neither the Shen family nor the Luo family can easily touch us."
