Chapter 97: An Emotionless Facial Expression
Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress
Nangong Ba remembered that Liu Rushuang was waiting for him, so he didnât want to waste his breath any longer. Waving his empty hand, a hint of pink air drifted towards Chu Qingchuan. After he saw Chu Qingchuang had become stupefied, he softly let out just two words. âMove aside!â
Chu Qingchuan couldnât help but listen to his orders, then gave orders to her troops from Donghua. âEveryone, move aside.
However, people of Donghua didnât dare disobey the Fifth Princesa. They all took a few steps towards the right to free up enough space on the left.
Nangong Ba coldly smiled with charm, then turned back around and stepped into the palanquin.
The four men in black lifted the palanquin and continued on to their destination.
Liu Rushuang stared coldly out the window as per usual.
Nangong Ba sat opposite from her and shook his head helplessly.
...
When they reached the most high class street, Liu Rushuang passed many shops but never entered a single one.
âBaby, letâs go in into this shop and have a look-see,â Nangong Ba suggested to Liu Rushuang.
Liu Rushuang glanced at the shop beside them called Auspicious Gold, but didnât say if she was going in. She rarely went window shopping, so it wonât hurt to go in and take a look.
The shop owner saw Nangong Ba and immediately welcomed him. âGreetings young master Nangong. I wonder what the young master is looking for today.â
Nangong Ba didnât reply, but walked up to Liu Rushuang and affectionately said, âBaby, pick whatever you want.â
Liu Rushuang looked at the selection of hairpins, head ornaments, jades, thumb rings, earrings, pearls, agates, and various types of accessories. She pursed her lips. Although these were high quality accessories, she had several crates of them back at the Blood Feast headquarters. She simply didnât need any more.
Nangong Ba turned to Liu Rushuang who looked disinterested and asked tentatively with furrowed brows, âIs there nothing you you like?â
âTheyâre alright, but I already have many. I donât need them,â replied Liu Rushuang flatly after she heard that question. Then, she turned and walked out.
Nangong Ba tensed up and helplessly followed her out. Donât tell me there wasnât anything that could excite his baby?
Liu Rushuang walked out of the shop and continued to walk forward.
Nangong Ba caught up and saw the calm expression on his babyâs face. He knew that there wasnât anything here his baby wanted. It seemed like money wasnât going to capture his babyâs heart.
After some thought, Nangong Ba asked, âBaby, how about we go to the Four Oceans Teahouse and listen to some music?â
âAlright,â replied Liu Rushuang nonchalantly.
Nangong Ba suddenly smirked widely at the thought of getting intimate and advancing their romance whilst listening to some music. So, he sweetly said, âItâs just up ahead. Iâll take you there.â
âAlright,â Liu Rushuang flatly replied, as she shivered at Nangong Baâs sweet affections.
Nangong Ba walked forward with a grin.
After taking a few hundred steps forward, Nangong Ba pointed at the Four Oceans Teahouse. âWeâre here. Letâs go in,â he cried.
The middle-aged manager of the Four Oceans Teahouse wore a light blue outer robe over navy blue garments and a black hat with gold details. When the manager saw Nangong Ba, he smiled suddenly in a way as if he was going to kiss up to him. âYoung master Nangong, welcome to the Four Oceans Teahouse. How may I help you?â He asked flatteringly with a bow, as he walked up to Nangong Ba.
Nangong Ba shot a dull look at the manager and smiled softly. âBring out your best Guqin player. I would like to listen to them play.â
âWhy of course! I promise young master Nangong would be satisfied,â promptly replied the manager of the Four Oceans Teahouse. Then, he reached his hand out and pointed towards the stairs. âPlease allow me to escort the young master Nangong up to our deluxe suite.â
