Chapter 263 Prince Jin’s Residence (14)

Veins were practically bulging on Su Luo's forehead. She clenched her fists and glared at him, utterly exasperated by this Prodigy in her heart!

"Why must it be me? Your residence is the last place to lack servants. I'm sure with one command from Your Highness Prince Jin, thousands would crawl over to serve you!" Su Luo shot him a glare, stating the facts.

Nangong Liuyun's calm, emotionless gaze swept over the surrounding servants, who were keeping their heads down and eyes averted. It was just a faint, casual glance.

However, to the circle of servants, His Highness Prince Jin's faint glance immediately gave them a chilling sense of desolation, like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

"Your… Your Highness… We shall… shall take our leave first." The circle of servants all knelt in fear and trepidation, trembling all over.

"Mm." Nangong Liuyun propped his head on one hand and let out a soft hum, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"Hey, don't be in such a hurry to leave!" Su Luo stared helplessly. If these servants left, wouldn't Nangong be even more inclined to push his luck?

However, Su Luo's voice was like a death warrant to these servants. At first, they were walking, but as soon as she spoke, they practically started running, vanishing in an instant.

Seeing this, Su Luo was practically on the verge of tears. Speechless, she said to Nangong Liuyun, "Do all the servants in your family know the Lingbo Microsteps?"

They were simply too fast.

"When it comes to saving one's life, potential is naturally limitless." Nangong Liuyun hummed softly, then returned to the topic. "Come here and atone for your sins."

"Nangong Liuyun, don't push your luck." Su Luo stood at a distance, glaring at him unhappily.

Nangong Liuyun lowered his eyes. After a long while, he silently looked up at Su Luo. "Others say a drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring. Can't you even repay a drop with a drop?"

Unable to stand his faint sighs and aggrieved expression, Su Luo conceded. She slowly walked up to him and asked in a low voice, "What exactly do you want?"

Actually, he was right. She really should be grateful to him for hiding in his carriage earlier. If he hadn't appeared just then, she, who had been marked with a Tracking Seal, would definitely not have escaped Liu Chengfeng's pursuit.

Nangong Liuyun looked up at her, his voice carrying a hint of coquettishness. "Stay and keep me company tonight."

This man really was pushing his luck, using a small favor to coerce her, and doing so as if it were perfectly natural.

But how could she agree to stay? Agreeing would represent a certain degree of concession.

If word got out that she stayed overnight at Prince Jin's Residence, what would people think? How would they view her? How could she maintain her reputation? How could she confidently pursue her own happiness in the future?

Therefore, faced with his request, she remained silent.

"Stay and keep me company." He repeated it once more.

"I'm afraid that won't do," Su Luo replied in a low voice, her gaze fixed on him.

Nangong Liuyun didn't speak. Suddenly, after a while, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he gave a wicked smile. "Silly Luo Luo, you're simply too stupid. Without this King's permission, do you think you can leave Prince Jin's Residence?"

In the end, his humble act of playing pitiful and acting cute just now was merely a tactic. Once he decided on something or someone, he would never let go.

"Nangong Liuyun, you're shameless." Su Luo naturally knew this. It wasn't that she hadn't tried to leave, but she couldn't even get past the main gates of the Sleeping Quarters before being stopped right there.

"Shameless? This King can be even more shameless. Do you want to see?" Nangong Liuyun looked at her with a smug smile.
