Chapter 115: Deceiving Uncle Sheng (12)

Shu Nuan came out of the academy, planning to return to rest at the inn . After all, she had little money left and needed to eat, so she could not afford the accommodation .

However, when she returned to the inn, she was told by the shopkeeper that someone had paid her accommodation fee for the next month .

Shu Nuan thought of Sheng Qianmo . But then she gave a wry smile, as it obviously couldn’t be him .

Since she’d come out of the palace that day, she hadn’t returned to the Shenghe Manor, let alone having seen Sheng Qianmo .

She knew well that, the last time, she’d been trapped in Jing Fei’s house all night, and that had made Sheng Qianmo furious . This time she’d left him without saying a word .

Who was Sheng Qianmo? He was a prince, and invincible . Even the emperor and some of his brothers feared him . Why would such a n.o.ble person put effort to find such a humble slave who didn’t conform to his wishes?

Obviously impossible .

However, Shu Nuan found out the answer soon .

She was startled upon opening the door . Sheng Lingyun sat at the table . She paused and gave him a cold stare .

“Did Seventh Prince enter the wrong room?”

Sheng Lingyun looked at her and said, “This Prince came to see you . ”

He stood up and walked over to her .

“This Prince made an arrangement to provide you with a necessity . You can live at this inn with confidence . If… you feel uncomfortable, I can take you back to the Yun Manor . ”

After staring at him for a while, Shu Nuan turned and left .

Sheng Lingyun rushed up and grabbed her hand . “Before now, you would’ve gone to Fourth Brother… I am not sure what to say, but now Fourth Brother doesn’t want you . You are a little girl . How dangerous is it  to be without a patron? You should follow me . ”

Shu Nuan cast a glance at her hand . “Seventh Prince, please let go . ”

Her voice was soft, with a hint of iciness: a little cold, but pleasant nonetheless .

Sheng Lingyun felt her soft little hand, looked at her lips move, and couldn’t help but clutch the throat . Still, he let go of her hand .  

Then he saw Shu Nuan go inside the room . He thought Shu Nuan’s att.i.tude had eased, so he followed in .

“Don’t worry . After following This Prince, I will treat you better than Fourth Brother . ”

Shu Nuan turned a deaf ear and packed her luggage with indifference .

Sheng Lingyun was delighted, thinking she agreed to go back to his palace . In a moment of joy, he eagerly helped Shu Nuan pack her things . Even when her cold face confronted him, he felt happy .

However, what he didn’t expect was Shu Nuan picking up the baggage and pus.h.i.+ng the door open to leave the inn . She didn’t agree to go with him at all .

Since they were walking on the street, Sheng Lingyun wouldn’t be aggressive in his pursuit . Still, he followed her closely . “Shu Nuan, where are you going?”

Shu Nuan refused to say a word and kept walking with a cold face

Sheng Lingyun sighed and said, “If you don’t want to go back to the Yun Manor with me, then forget it . ”

In any case, the emperor had him under strict watch, and there was his Fourth Brother to worry about . It wouldn’t be good for him to take her back .

Shu Nuan still ignored him and kept walking .

“This Prince didn’t force you, but now you don’t even have a place to go . You… take this,” Sheng Lingyun said, handing a bag of silver he’d prepared beforehand to Shu Nuan .  

But Shu Nuan didn’t receive it . She stopped and glanced at him .

“Thank you for your concern, but I don’t need it . ”
