《The Men At Her Feet》Chapter 43: Hidden Opponents.
Advertisement
Fu Si Nian regretted not bringing his life savings to this outing, it was not within his expectation to meet such a strong hidden opponent in this secluded inn.
But nonetheless, he had no choice but to leave this place, the Princess should not be seen after all.
"Fine, we'll do as he says!" He grumbled angrily as he slammed the door, returning to the bed to dress himself appropriately before leaving.
Princess Qing Luan, who had been listening in to the commotion at the door, was already well dressed, she had even put on the gauze hat, looking ready to go.
She was actually thankful to the rich man who had chase them away from here, because if the rich man did not, she would've been exhausted from just the morning event today.
Fu Si Nian walked over to her and grabbed her hand in his, ready to leave the room, but she avoided his hand and shook her head firmly, as she did not want to be seen walking out of a room in an inn hand-in-hand with a man.
Fu Si Nian nodded and walked out of the room, she followed a few moments later. As she left the room, a strange breeze appeared and blew through her silk gauze, flipping it over slightly and unknowingly revealing a part of her face before covering it again.
Unbeknownst to anyone, this scene was witnessed by a man on the top floor, his sharp eyes narrowed slightly as he saw her exposed face. He turned away and walked back into his room as she walked out of sight.
"Here's a present for you, my Princess." Fu Si Nian smiled gently as he placed an exquisite box on her hands.
Princess Qing Luan quickly opened the box as curiosity filled her, what she saw was a jade statue, which looked exactly like her, in the middle of the box. It was obvious whoever made this had perfected the art of jade sculpting as her features were perfectly sculpted on the jade.

"As a Royal Princess, I'm sure you're not lacking anything, so I thought of presenting you a handmade gift, as a gesture of sincerity." He explained patiently as she stared at the jade statue.
Princess Qing Luan was surprised, she had not expected such a man like him to be so experienced in jade sculpting, she wondered how long it took for him to perfect this present.
He stared at her intently, wanting to see her thoughts on his gift.
Noticing his stare, she looked up into his eyes and gave him a warm and sweet smile, as a sign of gratitude.
Fu Si Nian ears turned red slightly as he saw her smile. He sighed and cursed his busy work life as they rushed back into the city, he had many issues to solve and a war to fight, his time with her had ran out after all.
She let out a deep breath as she watched him leave, happy that the first date ended up surprisingly well.
"Ah Luan! Uncle had been waiting for you the whole morning!" She heard a man's voice as she neared her living quarters.
She flipped opened her curtains only to see Xie Lang jumping onto her carriage, "It's your birthday today, what do you want to eat? Uncle will pay for all of your expenses!"
"Then I guess I'll take you up on your offer~" She grinned happily at her uncle's suggestion as it was already noon and her stomach was already growling.

I Totally Don't Have Anger Problems!
Discontinued 7/11/2020 Sorry if anyone was hoping for more updates. It seems I'm losing interest in the character as time goes on - not sure if that's due to miscalculated character development direction or just a limited amount to express in the first place. If I do any writing projects in the future, I'll make sure the premise has a lot of room for long-term, interesting, development before posting anything. Thanks to everyone who gave feedback! I’m Talia Shimada, and my life just got a lot more complicated. One moment I was just doing some regular investigation of an interesting boy from my senior year in high school, and then suddenly, everything went wrong and I was stranded in another world in the middle of nowhere. It’s not my fault he left a clear line of sight to his house keys where they could be photographed and replicated on a 3D printer! Now I’m stuck in the middle of a giant forest with all these annoying creatures that keep attacking me until I SMASH THEM INTO PIECES AND STOMP ON THEIR REMAINS, surviving off of raw meat and, well, other kinds of raw meat. What, am I supposed to know which plants are edible in some far-away wilderness on another PLANET!? This is a planet right? It has to be! What did I do to deserve this? At least that class I got is useful. Now, when something doesn’t do what it’s supposed to, I can keep smashing it until it CAN’T BE A PROBLEM ANY MORE BECAUSE IT’S NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL! If anyone else tries to get in the way of my plans, I’ll just PICK UP THEIR PUNY BODIES AND THROW THEM ASIDE and watch them sail away, never to trouble me again, because I am DONE having people mess with my life and not being able to do anything about it! From now on, anyone who tries will get to briefly realize their error as I SMASH THEM INTO PASTE BECAUSE THEY PICKED A FIGHT WITH THE WRONG WOMAN! I totally don’t have anger problems!
