Chapter 247: Act as a matchmaker
Empress Running Away with the Ball
Xiao Ru was in a daze from hearing this. She suddenly opened her mouth, hesitating on whether she should say something.
âIf you want to say something, then just say it.â Chen Ning looked over at her.
âThis servant wants to say that Bodyguard Hei is quite good. I heard that he saved the young miss yesterday. His martial arts and character are good, do you want this servant to ask if he has someone, or if he is married......â
Xiao Ru did not even get to finish chattering before Chen Ning picked up one of the eggs that Chu Shao Bai sent over to plug her mouth up with.
âThatâs right, Bodyguard Hei is good. His martial arts and character are good, why donât I act as a matchmaker and marry you to him?â Chen Ning giggled and said.
âWu, wu, wu, wu, wu!â
Xiao Ruâs mouth was stuffed with an egg and she could not say anything. She had a scared look on her face as she shook her head.
âNext time you try to match this young miss with someone, Iâll get some speech impairing medicine and make it so that youâll never be able to say anything else!â
Chen Ning looked at Xiao Ru and then walked out of the room.
Exiting the room, she almost crashed into someoneâs embrace. Quickly stopping, she looked up and found Mo Chuanâs tall figure standing in front of her room, not moving at all.
âXiao Hei, what are you doing here?â
After Chen Ning asked this, she thought that Mo Chuan could have heard everything that she and Xiao Ru said about him, especially that last part. She suddenly began to feel guilty.
âHow long have you been here?â She asked in a probing manner.
âNot long.â Mo Chuanâs voice was cold. His dark eyes were calm, revealing no emotions at all.
How long is not long!
Chen Ning silently shouted.
Although Mo Chuan was wearing a mask and she couldnât see his face, she could guess that he must have heard everything.
Otherwise, he wouldnât have suddenly turned into a large ice cube. He released a cold aura that even the sunâs rays could not penetrate, making his body ice cold.
âEh, have you eaten yet? Letâs go and have some breakfast first. The skills of Chun Tao and Xia He arenât bad, they can make all kinds of congee and desserts. You will definitely love their food.â
Chen Ning continued to talk out of guilt. Her eyes looked everywhere, not daring to look at Mo Chuan out of embarrassment.
She really wanted to bite her tongue off out of regret. Why did she pick him to joke about, even saying that she would marry Xiao Ru to him! He was an assassin that killed people without even blinking, how could she offend him!
Mo Chuan stood there with his arms crossed. His deep, dark eyes stared at her, not moving or saying anything at all.
She was feeling even more embarrassed. She lowered her head as she tried to walk past him.
Who would have thought that after two steps, Mo Chuanâs body would suddenly disappear and appear in front of her, making her hit her head against him.
âXiao Hei, why are you always blocking my way?â Chen Ning rubbed her painful nose and angrily said.
âAsk me.â He suddenly said.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAsk what?â Chen Ning found this strange.
âAsk me if I have someone or if Iâm married. Ask me and Iâll tell you.â Mo Chuan said while looking at her with a serious gaze.
âPu!â Chen Ning almost couldnât hold it in and almost spat all over him. Her face instantly turned completely red.
He did hear everything!
âKe, ke, ke!â Chen Ning had a flushed face as she muttered, âWhat does it matter to me if youâre married or not?â
Mo Chuan did not say anything and he made no movement at all.
She had no choice but to ask, âAlright, then let me ask you. How old are you right now? Are you seeing anyone, or have you married anyone?â
âIâm twenty-four years old. Iâm not seeing anyone and Iâm not married.â Mo Chuan slowly replied.
Chen Ning nodded with a smile, âAlright, now I know. Iâve finished asking, so can you let me go now?â
Mo Chuan still did not move.
âIs there anything else?â
âDidnât you forget something?â
âWhat?â She asked in a confused voice.
âYou said you would be a matchmaker for me.â Mo Chuan calmly said.
