Chapter 11, Marriage Proposal Visit
As the sun sets, the cloudscapes were dyed in red. Within the study of Luo Shangshu’s residence, Lord Luo was trying to advise the Luo family’s second young master, Luo Yu, without rest. “How many times does your pa have to tell you before you’ll grow up? The Chen family’s second young lady, Bao’er, is both talented and pretty, what about her can’t you agree with?”
Luo Yu scratched his ear that was nearly chewed off by his father impatiently. “Forget it pa, you’ve been talking about how good Chen Bao’er is for the whole day, but that’s all cause you’re coveting for the Chen family’s money. So what if she’s talented and pretty? You’d force me to marry her even if she’s a super ugly girl with no arms or legs! A spoiled girl like her doesn’t fit my appetite at all!” After saying that, he curled his lips with disdain.
Luo Shangshu refuses to believe that he won’t be able to convince his son. He knows his son best, Luo Yu’s the type of young master who can’t be forced, but can be coaxed. So, you could say that he had already conformed to his aims of being morally compassionate and resisted the urge of losing his temper. He picked up the fine porcelain teacup and took a sip to calm his anger before saying, “Then tell your pa, which young lady do you fancy? Your pa will knock on their door right now and ask for a proposal of marriage!” After saying that, he picked up his teacup again and took another sip. Luo Yu looked at the old Lord Luo who was drinking tea non-stop but just wouldn’t get angry and thought to himself curiously: was his pa trying to change his style and go for the merciful father route instead? He couldn’t help getting gutsy and responded, “Pa, your son doesn’t want to marry a noble lady, I just want to take Chen Bao’er’s slave girl, Tao’er, as my wife!” As soon as he mentioned Tao’er, the corners of Luo Yu’s lips rose subconsciously, forming a very intoxicated expression on his face.
“Pff─” Lord Luo spat out all the tea he had just drank and went, “You─mph─cough cough, cough─” Lord Luo was just about to get into a fit, but he accidentally choked on his tea. Luo Yu quickly came over to pat Lord Luo on the back to help him ease up.
“You─” After calming down, Lord Luo was just about to start roaring again. But recalling that he absolutely must not get angry today, lest he waste all his previous efforts, he quickly persuaded him in an earnest tone. “Yu’er, you’re not young now either, so I’m sure you’re very clear even without your pa telling you. You know what the consequences of taking a lowly slave girl as your legal wife is. If you don’t want to think for pa’s sake, then at least think for the Luo family’s sake. Of course, it’s not like your pa doesn’t care about your feelings, but if you married the Chen family’s Lady Chen Bao’er, then her slave girl would naturally come with. In the future, you can find a suitable date, then pa will let you keep Tao’er as a waiting girl. That should satisfy you, right?” Luo Yu never thought that not only did his pa not get angry, he would even think for his sake and compromise with him. He couldn’t help but give old Lord Luo a hug. “Pa, your son has always made you angry in the past, I’m really too unfilial. From today on, I’ll do anything you say! Pa, you really treat me too well!”
Lord Luo gave Luo Yu a pat and said, “Silly child, you’re the only son pa has, and your older sister has long been married off. Who am I going to dote on but you? Alright, quickly go and tell your ma that you promised to marry so she can be happy as well!”
Luo Yu let old Lord Luo go. “Alright, pa!” Lord Luo watched the figure of his handsome child opening the door in high spirits, and getting further and further as he sauntered off. He actually felt his eyes starting to turn red. Even though it was just a play, his fatherly love for him was real. Lord Luo raised his hand to wipe away the tears that were about to fall, and he couldn’t help but laugh at himself for going a bit too overboard on his acting. But after all, he managed to convince his son and that was half of the work done. Tomorrow, he will have to visit the Chen residence to ask for a proposal. With the relationship he had with Lord Chen, he definitely would not refuse him.
At noon the next day, Lady Bao’er was pacing anxiously around her room. Of course, she would never be able to guess that the brat who had not found her pleasing since they were young would come proposing just so he could get at her slave girl, Tao’er. So, when she heard that Luo Shangshu brought Luo Yu, that overbearing brat, over to propose for marriage, she wore an expression of disbelief as if she had just been struck by thunder. She had already taken fancy with the Prime Minister’s sixth child, Ning Xi, so of course she did not want to get married to Luo Yu. And why hasn’t Tao’er whom she had sent to inquire about the news not come back yet? She was almost worried sick!
Tao’er hid quietly under the carved wooden windows outside of the Chen residence’s great hall and eavesdropped on Lord Chen and Luo Shangshu’s conversation. When he heard Lord Chen agree to marry the Young Lady to Young Master Luo, she couldn’t help but be shocked. She had just wanted to turn around and rush back to tell Lady Bao’er, she was caught by Luo Yu who had been standing right behind her since who knows when!
Luo Yu pulled her forcefully to a corner and held her tightly in his arms.
“Young Master Luo…Mph…” Just as she was about to open her mouth to speak, her lips were quickly sealed by Luo Yu’s hot kiss.
Luo Yu kissed her madly as if he wanted to swallow her down into his belly, and his tongue was exploring and raveling inside of her mouth without rest, constantly sucking on the sweetness of her mouth…
“Mh…” Tao’er struggled to push him away with all she could. This felt so very shameless to her. Wasn’t he going to marry the Young Lady? how could he still lay his hands on her!
Luo Yu clamped Tao’er’s two hands behind her back and secured them there with one of his large hands so that her soft body could stick even more closely to his own firm chest.
Only until Tao’er was about to run out of breath did Luo Yu finally end the kiss. Tao’er was gasping madly and her chest was fiercely undulating.
“Tao’er, do you know how much I want you?” Luo Yu gasped slowly by her ear and said with deep passion.
Tao’er’s body turned stiff, and she disdained him in her Lady’s place. “Young Master Luo, can you let this slave go now? Young Lady Bao’er is still waiting for this slave to return and report to her!”
With the sting of pain in his chest, Luo Yu let Tao’er go. He never thought that his enthusiasm would be returned with cold indifference. “Sure, then tell your Young Lady that I’ll definitely marry her. And you…”
As soon as Tao’er was freed, she immediately rushed towards the Young Lady’s room without waiting for him to finish.
Luo Yu watched Tao’er fleeing figure and couldn’t help but put on a bitter smile. But instantly, his firm gaze was lit up with burning passion. “Tao’er, you’re mine, and I won’t let you escape…”
