The princess is so sweet and charming that she can't escape if she offends the prince.

Chapter 24 Marriage?You think so
Xiao Lan walked into the room in a dusty state. He didn't understand what the emperor was going to say at first, but after seeing Ruan Ning's expression, he immediately realized what he was saying.

Ruan Ning's face was full of rejection, and she shouted in her heart: Say no, tell me you don't like me.

However, the next second, Xiao Lan said in a deep voice: "Miss Ruan is beautiful and smart, she is a rare good girl."

Ruan Ning's legs went weak and she almost fainted. Is this Xiao Lan sick? If I didn't take this opportunity to explain clearly, why would I say such ambiguous words?

Zhou Yuan laughed "haha" twice and joked: "It's rare that the girl you like will be able to enjoy your wedding wine soon."

Xiao Lan lowered her eyes and said in a calm tone: "My parents ordered the matchmaker to say that getting married is not a trivial matter and requires long-term planning."

Zhou Yuan smiled and nodded: "Okay, Miss Ruan is leaving the palace. You can put your things down and go out with her. Let's cultivate more relationships."

*
As soon as they walked far away, Ruan Ning grabbed Xiao Lan eagerly and said, "The explanation of this matter is unclear. What if His Majesty really grants a marriage?"

Xiao Lan glanced at the sleeve that was pulled by her, and pulled it back impatiently: "Didn't you hear that we should consider the long term and grant a marriage? What you think is a good idea."

Ruan Ning suddenly realized that she had no time to pay attention to Xiao Lan's ridicule, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, although she coveted Xiao Lan's face and body, she was afraid that she would not be able to eat it if she really let her eat it.

Seeing how Xiao Lan dislikes her, he will probably end his relationship with her soon after the limelight passes.

Thinking of this, she walked much more briskly.

When walking, Ruan Ning kept holding the emperor's inscription to his chest, looking quite proud, and his steps were windy.

Xiao Lan felt that she was a little silly and unconsciously stayed away from her.

Ruan Ning didn't realize it at all. When he saw Xiao Lan walking far away, he came over and said, "Your Majesty, the business is opening tomorrow. Would you like to come and have fun too?"

Xiao Lan looked forward, not knowing what he was thinking of, and suddenly asked: "I heard that your store spent a lot of money, where did the money come from?"

Speaking of money, Ruan Ning thought of the gold medal and her eyes dodged: "My family is a Hou Mansion after all. This little money is nothing."

Xiao Lan looked at her calmly and said quietly: "That's it. I heard that you were doing some crowdfunding with the girl from Baihualou, and I thought you were short of money."

Speaking of money, Ruan Ning suddenly had an idea: "Although I have money, it is not too much. My lord, do you want to become a shareholder? There will be dividends at the end of the year."

Xiao Lan looked at her deeply when he heard this. Although he said nothing, there seemed to be clear words written on his face: You think beautifully.

*
When walking out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Ruan Ning was holding the letter in one hand and the skirt in the other. He was not walking steadily, so he took two steps slower.

Looking at Xiao Lan who was walking like the wind in front of her, Ruan Ning curled her lips. He really didn't have any gentlemanly demeanor at all. No wonder he can't get a wife now.

As soon as the slander fell, Xiao Lan suddenly stopped and looked back at her. He stretched out his long arm and held her wrist. Although it was only gentle, it still played a very good supporting role for Ruan Ning.

Xiao Lan cherished the words and said, "Let's go."

The corner of Ruan Ning's mouth curved, okay, she took back what she just said, this person still knows how to be compassionate.

As soon as the slander fell, a gust of wind suddenly flashed in front of him. Then, a girl dressed in a flashy dress stood in front of Ruan Ning and said in a bad tone:

"Are you the vixen who hooked up with brother Xiao Lan?"

After scolding Ruan Ning, the man seemed to change his face, and immediately said to Xiao Lan with a smile on his face: "Brother Xiao Lan, you have been back for so long, why don't you come to see me~"

Ruan Ning knew the person in front of him, Zhou Linrong, the prince's sister, and had been in love with Xiao Lan for a long time.She glanced at Xiao Lan's hand holding hers, threw it away, bit her back teeth and muttered: Dog, man, man, actually using her to block his love.

Zhou Linrong's eyebrows were filled with autumn, and she said in her voice: "Cousin, the flowers in Xiangshan Mountain are in bloom these two days, so why don't you go with me, okay?"

Xiao Lan still had that straight face and said expressionlessly: "I'm busy, I can't get away."

Zhou Linrong didn't believe it, pouted and said, "What are you busy with? You've been busy socializing recently, so you don't have any time."

Ruan Ning finally understood that Luo Hua was being ruthless on purpose, and Xiao Lan probably didn't want to talk to Zhou Linrong. However, Zhou Linrong was persistent enough, and even though he rejected her so clearly and still pressed her up, he didn't know if it would be possible to get through it.

The next second, Xiao Lan suddenly turned around and looked at Ruan Ning, showing a gentle expression. He even touched her head and said quietly: "It's too clingy. I can't help it."

Ruan Ning:? !

At the same time, Zhou Linrong looked at her as if he wanted to kill her with a thousand cuts.

Ruan Ning secretly said: You can do it, right?

She hugged Xiao Lan's arm very cooperatively and said softly: "Yes, the store will open tomorrow. Your Majesty just said you would come to support me, right?"

Ruan Ning gave Xiao Lan a wink, gentle on the surface, but gritted his teeth in reality.

Anyway, she has offended people, so this is not the worst. If Xiao Lan uses her, she can also use him in the opposite direction. If she can trick him and let people know that she has King Wu'an as her backer, business will be better in the future. Make some.

Xiao Lan didn't expect that Ruan Ninghui would lead him. He calmly put his arms around her shoulders, put pressure on his fingertips, and uttered one word with his thin lips: "Yes".

Ruan Ning was hugged by him, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated for two seconds. She struggled but could not break away from Xiao Lan's iron palm. She could only look up and glare at him.

Xiao Lan lowered her eyes, the warning in her eyes was clear, hinting her not to do anything bad.

In Zhou Linrong's eyes, this scene became a naked expression of affection.

*
Zhou Linrong was still unwilling to give in. He twisted his handkerchief angrily and said arrogantly: "Brother Xiao Lan, don't you know that her identity as the daughter of the Hou family is fake? Moreover, she has been with the third brother. How could you fall in love with her? , what’s good about her.”

Xiao Lan's eyes were still on Ruan Ning. He knew that with Zhou Linrong's character, he would not give up until he got the answer, but what did he like about Ruan Ning?Smooth-tongued, lying without blinking an eye, acting unruly...

After two seconds of silence, Xiao Lan could only hold back two words: "Good-looking."

*
Zhou Linrong's face turned from red to white, and then from white to green. She could find fault with anything Xiao Lan said, but this one, her eyes quickly turned red, and she sobbed: "Brother Xiao Lan, I didn't expect you to be with another man." Just the same, he is also such a superficial person!”

After talking about Xiao Lan, she pointed the finger at Ruan Ning: "What about you, you were fighting for the third brother before, and now you are hooking up with your cousin. It's just for power. You don't like him at all! Cousin, you Don’t be fooled by this woman.”

Ruan Ning hurriedly clarified: "Don't talk nonsense, I am not the kind of person who is greedy for vanity."

Zhou Linrong was aggressive: "Then what makes you fall in love so quickly? You just fancy his family background."

Ruan Ning glanced at Xiao Lan's face, put her fingers on his strong arms, and spoke softly like a feather crossing her heart: "No, it's because he is good-looking."

Zhou Linrong: ...ah!
