Chapter 108: Getting Along This Time
Ran Min slapped his right hand and burst out laughing.
He laughed until tears almost came out before he would stop.
He tilted his head, not minding the stray hair falling over his face.
Ran Min smiled at Chen Rong saying: “Missy, you’ve quite the gall.” He paused before adding: “And quite the ruthless heart!”
Chen Rong did not answer him. She merely kept her head bowed and her lips pressed together as her tears trickled down.
Ran Min laughed when he saw her appearance: “Hah, you’re ruthlessly scheming against other people yet you’re putting on this grievous look. I’m seeing you in a new light, young miss.”
Chen Rong still wouldn’t raise her head although her face was growing paler and paler.
Ran Min lifted his wine and threw his head back for a swig. When he next placed the cup down, he said, “It’s a deal.”
Only now did Chen Rong look up at him. There were accusation and grievance in her eyes, as if she was miffed that he had called her ruthless.
She lowered her head again to accord Ran Min ceremony before walking back to her seat and slowly sitting down.
Ran Min laced his palms together as he shouted, “One of you come in here.”
“Aye.”
An advisor came in.
Ran Min turned his gaze to Chen Rong and ordered: “Tell him where that route is.”
“Aye.”
Chen Rong rose, dropped to another curtsy, and described the route in detail while the advisor laid out his paper.
