Looking at Gu Hongfe's handsome face, Yu Ronglou face suddenly felt hot. Why was God so unfair to her? Giving a man this handsome look is really unfair. Why? Cause she could not eat him. At least, not right now.
"Ehem. Ehem." Yu Ronglou cleared her throat.
Gu Hongfe took an empty cup, poured some tea on it, and placed it in front of her. "Here, drink some."
"Thanks." Yu Ronglou accepted the cup and drank it. "This tea is good. You must've pulled some connections to get this one." She commented.
Gu Hongfe didn't miss the recognition in Yu Ronglou's eyes. At this point, He knew that she had incredible connections and information too. Why else would she recognize an extremely rare tea that only the monarchy could drink? Plus, its not even from the Xu Kingdom but the Zhou Kingdom.
He didn't answer her and instead gave a question back. "What are you doing here in the Academy? I don't believe that you're only here to train. You could've asked my help if that was the case."
Yu Ronglou looked at Gu Hongfe in between her long lashes. "Nothing really escapes your eyes, Young Master Gu." She shifted her body before continuing, "Indeed, I had other business to attend to. Plus, I didn't wanna trouble you anymore."
"No trouble at all but what would your purpose be? If you don't mind sharing?" Gu Hongfe was intrigued. For the time that they had been apart, He had already found her after two weeks. Just that, he was preoccupied with settling his siblings and making sure that their enemies would not be able to locate them. It took him a month to finally be free to look for her.
"Nothing much. I believe I would hear some news soon. When I hear from them, then I'll let you know." Yu Ronglou gave a beautiful smile.
*thump thump*
Gu Hongfe couldn't help but gulp down his reply. Even wearing a tight martial art robes didn't hinder her beauty. In fact, It complimented the curves on her body. Giving a much ethereal look. No wonder she was crowned as the most beautiful and talented woman in the Capital of Xu Kingdom. No other young noble misses could compete with her. Especially with her wits and guts.
"Well, are here just to ask me this question?" Yu Ronglou set her cup down. Even though she knew Gu Hongfe on her previous life, they weren't that close. They only connected through a deal. He needed help locating his siblings while she needed help with outside information. Being the Empress, she hardly had the time to go out of the Palace. Also, It hard to find loyalty and trust as well. You would never know if those servants were spies from those different wrenches inside Xu Fengxin's Harem.
"I had time. Now that I found my siblings, I wanna accompany you on your journey. You are not out of danger yet. I have heard a lot of news from the capital that the Crown Prince has still not given up on finding you." Who would?, he thought.
"Hmm.. He could try all he wants. Even if he stood right in front of me at this moment, I would never marry him. Enough of me. How bout you? You're already on your 20's, isn't time for you to settle down?" Yu Ronglou teased.
*Cough Cough Cough*
The tea that he was drinking entered in the wrong pipe. He didn't expect that question. He really hadn't thought about settling down before. He thought that he needed to find his siblings first and settle old debts before thinking for his own future.
"Hahahaha... you didn't have to react like that. Aren't men always dreaming about sleeping with 3 thousand women on their harem, like the emperor?" Yu Ronglou smirked and drank her tea again.
Gu Hongfe glared at Yu Ronglou. "Who wants to have that many women in their life can have it! Pui! Pui!"
"Hahahaha!!! Good answer! Hahahaha..." Yu Ronglou laughed so loud. It had been a while since she laughed pretty good. Her Master's wasn't fun to tease with. So far, she loves teasing this handsome man; Gu Hongfe.
