Chapter 88: Insufferably Arrogant
Nangong Ba heard the commotion outside earlier, so he just picked up his teacup and took a casual sip. “Go invite that lady in,” he said with a more melodic voice than the Guqin[1].
“Yes,” replied Xialan.
Xialan stepped outside and caught up to Liu Rushuang, who was just about to step into the room. Then, she reached her arm out to block her path and said, “My master would like to meet you.”
Liu Rushuang grinned. She wanted to see who was so condescending, so she turned her heels and followed Xialan.
Qing’Er blinked with distrust. Who could be rich enough to reserve the fourth floor? I also really wanted to meet this person! She thought, smiling as she followed from behind.
Liu Rushuang followed Xialan into a room, where she immediately saw a man sitting at the table. However, he had his head slightly lowered, so she couldn’t quite see their face.
Liu Rushuang and Qing’Er drew a few steps closer.
Nangong Ba took a sip of tea with a silent grin, then looked up at the person who dared cross him.
Liu Rushuang was stunned when she saw Nangong Ba. This was the first time she saw such an incredibly beautiful man.
Qing’Er couldn’t help but become love-struck with the beige glow of his exposed chest. Every part of his skin looked elegant. Also, that face! He had a perfect oval face, long sharp eyebrows, and beautiful long, narrow eyes that looked flawlessly drawn on. His nose bridge was tall, he had slightly thin lips at an alluring angle, and his hair was all tied high up with a silky, top-quality ribbon. He had side swept bangs which covered the right side of his face and fell to his neck.
Thinking back to when she last met Han Moze, Qing’Er suddenly envied how lucky Liu Rushuang was to meet handsome men.
One can’t blame Qing’Er for being infatuated. Anyone who saw that mighty, bold body and that perfect, picturesque face would be envious.
Liu Rushuang was also astonished, but just for a second. So what if he was incredibly handsome? That had nothing to do with her! And so, she immediately asked, “Mister, I wonder why you have requested a meeting with me?”
Nangong Ba knocked the table and loudly asked, “Miss, don’t you know who I am?”
“No,” answered Liu Rushuang flatly without the slightest hint of hesitation.
Nangong Ba’s face tensed up. Perhaps this woman’s not from Beiming?
“Miss, do you know who’s the master of Wulin?” He continued to ask.
“Yes. I hear it’s still the top business man of Beiming,” Liu Rushuang flatly answered.
Nangong Ba stared at the girl who didn’t seem infatuated with him. Then, grinned and loudly cried, “I am the master of Wulin.”
Qing’Er’s eyes suddenly shot wide open. She never imagined that the master of Wulin was so young.
Liu Rushuang didn’t change the look on her face, but coldly replied, “And so what? If you have no business with me, than I shall take my leave now.”
The expression on Nangong Ba’s face fell, as he instantly couldn’t keep up his sinister and proud demeanor. There was actually someone who looked down on him? He wanted to teach this woman a lesson! How couldn’t he just let her leave?
“Of course, I have business with you. You injured my maid, so you should pay compensation. Also, I reserved the entire fourth floor. Miss, don’t tell me that you don’t understand the concept of ‘first come first served’?” He exclaimed.
“That’s because your maid deserved it. Who told her to contest me? Besides, there are many empty rooms on the fourth floor. If you don’t use them, then why won’t you let other people use them?” said Liu Rushuang coldly.
Nangong Ba grinned an incredibly beautiful smile, then bluntly exclaimed, “That’s right, I won’t allow it. I am noble and have the wealth of a nation. I absolutely have the right to do what I want. I am unwilling to share this floor with others. I’m just not willing to do so, and what can you do about that?”
Liu Rushuang’s eyes burned with flames of fury. “You are truly insufferably arrogant! I don’t want to speak another word with someone like you. I’m leaving and that’s that!” She shrieked.
