Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass - Chapter 442
Chapter 442: In the Auction House 7
“Li Ruoxuan, don’t think that you’re the only smart person.” Jiang Yeqian reminded him leisurely. “That woman is definitely not someone that you can mess with.”
He wanted to see what Li Ruoxuan would do since he had said that he liked her.
Anyhow, with Qi Qingyao’s character, she would never like someone like Li Ruoxuan back.
Thus, he might as well wait for the complete joke surnamed Li to continue making a fool out of himself.
Jiang Yeqian could even kick him when he was down if he bided his time well.
Li Ruoxuan’s eyes were covered in snow and frost, and he squinted down at him as if superior. “What if I insist on messing with her?”
Do not think that he did not know that Jiang Yeqian was purposely provoking him to make a complete joke out of him!
‘He’s doing exactly the opposite of what he said. He wants to pretend like he did not like Qi Qingyao and even gave me a false blessing.
‘He wants to force me to stop pursuing her!
‘If I really stop pursuing Qi Qingyao, that’ll really be what the Head Grand Secretariat wants.’
Li Ruoxuan thought to himself, ‘Head Grand Secretariat, oh, Head Grand Secretariat, what expression will you wear if I really pursue her?’
Jiang Yeqian reminded him calmly. “That is flirting with the edge of a cliff. Beware of falling into the abyss and far beyond redemption.”
…
…
The scene between Lu Yan, Li Ruoxuan, and the little maid had coincidentally been witnessed by Ling Luoyan, who had been watching them all along.
Ling Luoyan said in a deep tone, “That was the State Preceptor just now, right?”
Cuiping nodded.
Ling Luoyan said, “Why did the State Preceptor go over to greet Lu Yan?”
Cuiping said, as if it was nothing strange, “Miss, Master Lu is the young master of the top chamber of commerce in Northern Liang. Master Lu has also gotten close to that mysterious Lady Qi recently, so it’s not strange for the State Preceptor to go over and greet him, right?”
Ling Luoyan caressed her fair chin and said, not understanding, “But why did that little maid I liked just now suddenly pounce on the State Preceptor?”
“Maybe she wants to be a social climber but failed and scared off the State Preceptor.” Cuiping’s heart was full of contempt. That little maid looked down on her Miss yet later turned around and tried so hard to suck up to the State Preceptor. It was really…
Ling Luoyan chided in a low voice, “You dummy. I offered up a hundred thousand taels, and an unscrupulous businessman like Lu Yan still refused to let her go. So even the State Preceptor wouldn’t be shown any respect by that guy.”
“What Miss means is…” Cuiping did not quite understand.
“She did it on purpose.” Ling Luoyan said to the silly Cuiping, “If her attitude had been too ordinary, I think, the State Preceptor’s would definitely want her. After all, he’s a smart person like me, and great minds think alike. So she acted like she wanted to be a social climber, and scared off the State Preceptor. That should be what she intended.”
“Miss, could it be that you’re overthinking?” It was just a little maid, did Miss need to look so deeply into it?
Ling Luoyan pointed over there. “You’re so dumb. Look over there now. She’s sitting with Lu Yan and watching the auction item on the stage so seriously.”
“?” Was there a problem with that? What was she going to look at, if not the auction? Cuiping could not keep up with her Miss’ thoughts.
Ling Luoyan said, “Here’s the problem! If she had really wanted to be a shameless social climber just now, after the State Preceptor left, I think Lu Yan would definitely scold his little maid for being too shameless. He might even scold her away. But the two of them are still happily watching the auction together after the State Preceptor left.”
More so, if she read it right, Lu Yan’s expression was a little smug and he was sniggering.
It clearly was an expression happy with a plan gone right.
Cuiping’s eyes suddenly widened. “…”
That little maid had purposely angered the State Preceptor until he left her alone?
