Chapter 467: Chapter 279 Sooner or Later She Will Become His Woman_3

Lu Chen said with a smile, “I’m afraid Princess Junwan guessed wrong; he sat on the stone stool to your right.”

Lu Chen then asked, “May I know what matter brings Princess Junwan to meet with me alone?”

Wu Junwan replied, “The North Prince Faction sent someone to the place where I reside, specifically ordering that my brother sign the trade cooperation document. And now you’re asking what brings me here? Isn’t this asking what you already know?”

With a faint smile, Lu Chen said, “Prince Wu Ming is the second prince of Great Wu, and he has the qualification to succeed the throne. There should be no problem with me having him sign the document, right?”

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Wu Junwan displayed no expression on her face, as she clearly picked up on Lu Chen’s implication that she, being a woman, had no qualification to succeed the throne.

Wu Junwan then remarked, “Does the North Prince truly believe that only a man can become the future Emperor of Great Wu? Great Jue also had an Empress. Since Great Jue had one, why can’t Great Wu have one too?”

Lu Chen responded, “Whether the Emperor of Great Wu is a man or a woman is of no concern to me. Since Princess Junwan wishes to sign the trade cooperation document, you need to show sincerity.”

At Lu Chen’s words, Wu Junwan smiled slightly and then said, “What kind of sincerity does the North Prince wish to see?”

Lu Chen smiled, picked up the teacup from the stone table, took a sip of tea, and then slowly said, “Does Princess Junwan still remember Miss Qian of the Qian Family whom I mentioned during yesterday’s midday banquet?”

At this, Wu Junwan’s brows furrowed slightly, unsure why Lu Chen was bringing up Miss Qian at this time. The situation being what it was, and Lu Chen still putting on an act—the so-called Miss Qian was nothing but a false identity she had created during her last visit to Yan County.

Without delay, Wu Junwan said, “North Prince, at this point, why don’t we speak frankly and directly about our business?”

With a light smile, Lu Chen continued, “Although the Qian Family informed me that Miss Qian has passed away, I’ve learned through some minor channels that Miss Qian is, in fact, not dead but is at the Qianhai Commercial Association of Great Wu. I fell for Miss Qian at first sight, and I quite fancy her. I wonder if Princess Junwan would be willing to let go of such affection and allow Miss Qian to become my concubine?”

Wu Junwan looked serious as she stared into Lu Chen’s eyes, trying to detect from his gaze whether his last statement was a mere jest.

However, with a smile on his face, Lu Chen too gazed into her eyes, showing no sign of jesting.

Wu Junwan remarked, “It is said that the North Prince is a playboy who loves beauty, and I did not believe it at first. Seeing it today, it seems the reputation is indeed well-deserved.”

Wu Junwan had thought that because Lu Chen managed to break through to the Grandmaster Realm at such a young age, he wouldn’t be too interested in the allure of beauty, but here he was, speaking such flirtatious and frivolous words to her, the epitome of a wastrel.

This man actually had the audacity to set his sights on her, the esteemed Princess Wu!

Lu Chen said, “A fair lady is a gentleman’s favourite pursuit. I am not of lascivious nature, but I do like beautiful things.”

Seeing that Lu Chen even compared her to an “object,” her impression of him grew even worse.

Wu Junwan then said, “You should know that Miss Qian is unlikely to marry you, so please propose another condition, North Prince.”

“Princess Junwan has gathered a lot of information about me through the Qianhai Commercial Association, so you should be very clear, the only hobby I have is women. Whatever condition Princess Junwan suggests, in my eyes, none are more valuable than Miss Qian.”

Upon hearing these words, Wu Junwan felt a swirl of anger rising inside her, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

This young man, barely seventeen or eighteen years old, was he truly making his moves on her?

Wu Junwan then stated, “Miss Qian is already in her thirties, which is not quite suitable for the North Prince.”

Lu Chen replied, “Several women of mine are already in their thirties, and one is even carrying my child. My favorite type is mature women in their thirties, just like Miss Qian.”

Coldly, Wu Junwan said, “I kindly ask that the North Prince stop jesting.”

At that moment, Lu Chen spoke indifferently, “Since Princess Junwan is unwilling to give Miss Qian to me, let us drop the matter. You may leave now, Princess.”

Seeing that Lu Chen had dismissed her, Wu Junwan thought to herself, could it be that the North Prince never intended to negotiate terms with her, using this conversation as a ruse?

She knew it; how could the North Prince possibly fancy her for her beauty.

Wu Junwan immediately stood up and left the pavilion. Watching her graceful figure leave, Lu Chen’s lips curled up slightly.

Princess of Great Wu, right? One day she will be his woman.
