Pei Yin remembered the emperor's words before.

He couldn't help but asked tentatively: "Your Royal Highness, has the Emperor ever told you anything?"

"No." Shen Ningning quickly denied it.

Pei Yin tried to see some flaw in her face, but the girl's eyes were dark and bright.

She looked at Lu Shaoyuan, who was running towards her in the distance.

Shen Ningning's voice was very calm: "Maybe my brother and I have had many opportunities to get together since childhood, so everyone thought we should be together."

"But no matter what you think, the person I like is Lu Shaoyuan. I married him voluntarily and was not forced by anyone."

"Master Pei, I'm sorry."

After saying that, Shen Ningning took the initiative to meet Lu Shaoyuan. The two of them were smiling and talking under the sun, really like a couple.

After talking to Pei Yin, Shen Ningning decided to buy the house.

She took out the banknote she had prepared and planned to pay the deposit first, but was pushed back by Lu Shaoyuan.

"Wouldn't it be too shameful to ask you to pay while I'm here?" Lu Shaoyuan said, taking out a thick wad of banknotes from his sleeves.

Yaren's eyes widened when he saw it.

Lu Shaoyuan was very proud: "There is also a piece of gold here, which is a benefit for you to run errands today. You are really lucky. Our princess likes this house, otherwise I would not pay so happily."

Yaren smiled so hard that he almost couldn't see his eyes. He held it up with both hands to thank him, took the banknotes, and counted them on the spot.

Shen Ningning secretly tugged on Lu Shaoyuan's sleeve: "Why did you give him so much all at once?"

Lu Shaoyuan's eyebrows were sharp and he smiled handsomely and cheerfully: "It doesn't matter. I thought you wouldn't like this house, but I didn't expect that you like it as soon as you see it. There is nothing more important than this."

Shen Ningning pursed her lips: "Then at the end of the year, I will give you an extra 20% of the store's dividends, and you will treat it as my investment in this house."

What she thought was that after they reconciled in three years, she could let Lu Shaoyuan sell the house. After all, the house was in a good location and she would not lose money if she sold it in three years.

Lu Shaoyuan's smile paused. Of course he didn't want Shen Ningning to tell him so clearly.

However, he planned to follow her wishes and not make things difficult for her.

"It's all up to you, whatever you say will be whatever it is."

Lu Shaoyuan even whispered: "Actually, what you taught me just now is right. I won't spend money so lavishly next time. Now I am just in charge of half of the family's business, so I can't be too squandered."

"Since we have to live together in the future, I have to behave a little bit, but this time, please allow me to make an exception."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of gold from his sleeve and gave it to Yaren again.

Just listen to Lu Shaoyuan say: "You run your errands quickly, go to the teahouse in the city, and book a private room with the best view. Second Master, I want to entertain the princess, Miss Qi, and Lord Pei for tea."

Then, he added: "Remember to order the plate of osmanthus cream cake in the teahouse in advance, the princess loves it."

Yaren was busy.

Lu Shaoyuan turned around, bent down and whispered to Shen Ningning: "This is the last waste, mainly because I have brought you here for so long. You must be thirsty, right?"

"I think about the hard work of you, oh, and Miss Qi and Master Pei, so I invite you to have a sip of herbal tea."

Shen Ningning chuckled and said helplessly: "Okay, let's not do this next time."

Lu Shaoyuan immediately nodded: "It's a deal!"

Qi Xiuwei watched the interaction between the two with a smile.

Pei Yin stared at him silently for a moment, then stepped forward and handed over his hands: "There are still things in the palace, so I have to take my leave first. Thank you so much, Mr. Lu, for your kindness. I will definitely treat you to dinner another day."

After saying that, he left.

As soon as Pei Yin left, Lu Shaoyuan said: "Qi Xiuwei, you haven't forgiven him yet?"

Shen Ningning gently slapped his stomach with her arm to tell him to stop talking nonsense. Instead, Qi Xiuwei chuckled in relief: "Whatever I didn't forgive is all in the past."

Lu Shaoyuan held his stomach, pretending to be in pain, but still had a happy smile on his lips.

Shen Ningning became closer to him, and she was even willing to beat him with her own hands!

Lu Shaoyuan was in a good mood, so he said directly: "Actually, I think Pei Yin intends to make peace with you. He didn't need to come in person today. He just had to give orders to Yaren, but he still came by himself."

Shen Ningning glanced at him: "What can that prove?"

"It proves that he wants to find opportunities to get in touch with her!" Lu Shaoyuan crossed his arms and said with determination: "Men know their thoughts best. If you like someone, you will create countless opportunities to get close to her."

Qi Xiuwei smiled and said nothing, and Shen Ningning held her arm.

"Xiaowei, let's go to the teahouse to drink tea. Don't listen to his nonsense."

Lu Shaoyuan chased after him: "I'm not talking nonsense, really, I used to be..."

Shen Ningning looked at him. Lu Shaoyuan was timid for a moment and didn't dare to say anything.

He coughed lightly: "Whatever you want to eat later, I'll buy it."

Qi Xiuwei laughed: "You two really look like that."

Shen Ningning stamped her feet: "Xiaowei, don't talk nonsense like him!"

"I don't have one." Qi Xiuwei smiled gently.

Shen Ningning was her best friend. At first, when she heard that Shen Ningning was going to marry Lu Shaoyuan, Qi Xiuwei had the same idea as everyone else, thinking that Shen Ningning had something to hide.

However, Qi Xiuwei began to believe that Lu Shaoyuan was considerate and attentive to her these days.

Shen Ningning chose the person who loves her instead of the person she loves. Perhaps, this is the key to a happy life.

Over there, Pei Yin returned to the palace and went directly to the study room of Zichen Palace to report what had just happened to Mo Lingwei.

"His Royal Highness the prince made a mistake. The princess did not reject this house, but expressed her liking for it. Therefore, the second young master Lu did not say anything more and directly paid the deposit. Presumably, construction will start soon to prepare the wedding room for the two of them. ."

Mo Lingwei was reviewing the memorial. When he heard this, the Taihu pen in his hand broke.

He raised his head, his thin eyes sharp and cold: "She really didn't refuse?"

Pei Yin nodded.

Mo Lingwei dropped the broken pen and pinched his brows with a deep breath.

Shen Ningning is so nice that she actually wants to build a new house with others.

What she bought was Pei Yin's house. Wasn't she worried about his reaction when he found out?

Or is it that she doesn't care what he thinks at all? Is she now so preoccupied with the joy of her upcoming engagement that she has no time to think about what he should do?

Mo Lingwei stood up and walked to the window with his hands behind his back to calm his mind.

"She is so heartless." He whispered, somewhat gritting his teeth.

Pei Yin didn't feel comfortable commenting, so he didn't say anything.

Theoretically speaking, he is not Mo Lingwei's confidant. His superior is Lu Fu. Instead, he should be towards Lu Shaoyuan.

However, Mo Lingwei was the monarch he would follow in the future, so he did whatever Mo Lingwei asked him to do.

As for anything else, it is not within the scope of his obedience, so naturally he will not comment much.

Suddenly, Mo Lingwei turned around and said, "Go and tell them that you won't sell this house."

Pei Yin was startled: "But they have already signed a contract with Yaren."

"How much money do you have to pay? I'll give it to you. You can't sell the house to them."

He couldn't accept that Shen Ningning had to plan with others how to arrange the home after marriage.

Just thinking about it made Mo Lingwei feel like he was going crazy.
