Chapter Seven: How about offering yourself in return?



Not only was his allowance cut off, but Minister Luo also captured the man, intending to secretly dispose of him without attracting attention.

It was Gu Jingchun who arrived in time and saved the man.

Luo Ziqian still remembers the scene when he first met Gu Jingchun.

She was dressed in a light-colored dress and carrying an oil-paper umbrella, walking slowly in the rain.

Raindrops fell from the oil-paper umbrella in front of him, and as the umbrella was tilted slightly upwards, her stunningly beautiful face was revealed.

She looked at him, her eyes brightening.

"Young Master Luo, I saved your beloved. How do you plan to repay me?"

Luo Ziqian only rushed out of the mansion through the dog hole after learning that Meng Lang was in danger.

And because they were running so fast, they inevitably ended up covered in mud.

This made him feel somewhat ashamed when he faced Gu Jingchun's bright eyes.

He was lost in thought for a moment, unconsciously wiping his body with his hands, before immediately bowing and saying:

“Your kindness is beyond measure. I have nothing to repay you with except some money and a little power in my family. I will do whatever you ask.”

After Luo Ziqian finished speaking, he looked up and saw that Gu Jingchun's bright eyes had curved into a smile.

"Is that so? I had no idea that the eldest son of Minister Luo only had a little bit of power?"

Luo Ziqian looked at her in surprise, then heard her continue:

"Then why don't you repay me with your body?"

At that moment, Luo Ziqian's mouth was half open in surprise, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Gu Jingchun, however, continued to smile.

“I know that you, Young Master Luo, do not like women, but the Luo family has only had one son for three generations, and Minister Luo holds a high position. He will certainly not allow you to be with a man.”

However, after we get married, I can provide cover for you, so you can be a couple and fly together side by side, how about that?

"Of course, I can also make sure the man is settled in during this time."

Luo Ziqian was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up and asked her.

"I like men, don't you find that... disgusting?"

Gu Jingchun smiled, a smile so bright it made her body tremble and her eyes sparkle.

"How could this be?"

"It's simply a matter of personal desire; who is more noble than whom?"

Luo Ziqian's eyes widened in shock, and he remained silent for a long time.

Luo Ziqian was very tempted by this offer.

Gu Jingchun also believed that he would not refuse.

However, several days passed without him taking any action, which led to today's meeting.

After the two were seated, Gu Jingchun got straight to the point.

"I have settled you in. Your injuries have healed considerably, and you will be back to your old self in less than half a month. You can rest assured, Young Master Luo."

As for the other thing…

As Gu Jingchun spoke, he pushed an exquisite box in front of Luo Ziqian.

Luo Ziqian opened the box with a puzzled look and found a stack of silver notes worth a thousand taels inside. He stared at her in shock.

Gu Jingchun explained:

“I heard that Young Master Luo has been a little… strapped for cash lately, which is why I prepared some small gifts.”

"Moreover, I have also heard that Young Master Luo is good at business, and I, though not very talented, have some family wealth."

"After we get married, I can provide you with financial support to help you with your business."

Luo Ziqian's eyes lit up.

"You...don't you think doing business is shameful?"

Gu Jingchun was still smiling.

"Young Master Luo is joking. I come from a business background, so why would I think doing business is shameful? On the contrary, I find it endlessly enjoyable!"

Luo Ziqian nodded.

"I think so too. I enjoy the fun of money making money, but..."

He sighed softly as he spoke.

"But my father won't agree."

Gu Jingchun patiently guided him.

"Is Mr. Luo worried that Minister Luo will disapprove of our marriage, or that he will disapprove of your business ventures?"

Before Luo Ziqian could speak, Gu Jingchun continued:

"If it's the former, Young Master Luo, there's no need to worry. Now, as long as you say you want to marry me, your mother will surely come to propose in less than three days."

"If it is the latter, Young Master Luo, you need not worry. After we get married, Minister Luo will certainly not restrict you like he does now."

"Even if Minister Luo truly disagrees, I will certainly help you cover for him."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ziqian's eyes shone even brighter, and Gu Jingchun followed up by asking, "Does Young Master Luo have any other concerns?"

Luo Ziqian hesitated for a moment, then looked at Gu Jingchun with some embarrassment.

"I'm just wondering, why would you... want to marry me?"

He was also aware that his reputation was not good.

Now everyone knows he's gay, and noble ladies avoid him like the plague. He can't understand why Gu Jingchun would help him so much. Could it be because she likes him?

Luo Ziqian always felt that things were not simple, which is why he couldn't make up his mind.

Gu Jingchun breathed a sigh of relief and explained:

"I'm sure Young Master Luo is aware of my situation."

I grew up in the countryside and am a widow raising a four-year-old child alone. No one in the capital's elite families wants to marry me.

"And I was also in a difficult situation in the Yong'an Marquis's mansion."

"I'm not afraid to tell you, but my mother, the Lady of Yong'an Marquis, brought me back so that I could marry the Third Prince in place of Gu Yunjin."

"What!"

Luo Ziqian exclaimed in surprise, his face showing a hint of resentment.

"How could they be so cruel? You're their own daughter! How could they let you marry that idiot..."

Luo Ziqian realized he had misspoke and quickly covered his mouth, his eyes darting around warily before he gave an awkward laugh.
