Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

Chapter 266 Shu Han's Love Changes Again

The banquet had not yet begun, but it was already lively and the whole yard was filled with the shy laughter of women.

Ran Qianxi was eating melon seeds helplessly. She didn't know Shu Han was waiting for her in the room, and she didn't even know where her seat was.

After a quarter of an hour, Shu Han, who was waiting anxiously, still didn't see her shadow. He was extremely anxious and looked for her quickly.

As the ultramarine figure appeared, the atmosphere at the table became lively. Yuhe shyly waited for him to greet her, but was ignored.

Sui Xue: "Second Miss, the young marquis has come out."

"Ow."

She lay on the table, peeling melon seeds without raising her head, and did not take his presence seriously.

Shu Han, with his sharp eyes, found her after just one look around, so he walked over with big strides.

"Why are you sitting here?"

"What else? They have reserved the area in the front and won't let us sit."

Although she gave the due response, she was still peeling melon seeds. Because of this, Shu Han, who was ignored, felt even more anxious.

"You can't sit outside, either."

"It's not easy outside, and I still dream of sitting inside. Who knows, one of your ambiguous beauties might challenge me again."

Shu Han sneered and pulled her up.

"I do have a beauty, but you are the only one I have an ambiguous crush on."

Ran Qianxi raised her eyes and looked at him, obviously not believing it.

She glanced sideways at the hairpin on the lady sitting next to her and rolled her eyes.

"You never gave me a hairpin."

Shu Han looked over in confusion, not knowing what she meant.

"You want hairpins? I'll take you to buy as many as you want now."

Ran Qianxi: "What are you talking about?"

"Why don't we enjoy the flowers first? After dinner, I will ask all the hairpin craftsmen in the city to send all the unique hairpins to the palace."

"Where on earth did you get so much money? Could it be from smuggling or people's money?!"

Shu Han smiled slightly and was not angry.

"It's all Prince Shen's money, not mine."

Ran Qianxi peeled the last handful of melon seeds, put them on a handkerchief and handed them to him. She grasped the invisible teasing just right and easily captured a pair of affectionate eyes.

"Are you peeling them all for me?"

"Yeah, don't you like eating melon seeds?"

Shu Han kept looking at her with flattered eyes, took the handkerchief and held her in his arms.

"Okay, Asa."

"Hi~"

Hearing her cry of pain, Shu Han nervously let go of her.

"what happened?"

She pretended to shake her hands, but said nonchalantly, "It's okay, my hands hurt a little."

After saying this, Shu Han felt so distressed that he took her hand and blew it gently.

"Are you feeling better?"

She smiled reluctantly and took her hand back.

"A trick you learned to pick up girls? Blow it and it won't hurt?"

"No, that's how my mother played it on me when I was a kid."

She rubbed her fingertips with a smile on her face. Shu Han looked at her lovingly, held up the melon seeds with one hand and lifted her up with the other.

The ultramarine robes create a landscape amidst the white snow, adding another image to the gentleman’s painting.

"Don't peel it anymore. I'll eat it with the skin."

When they passed the first buffet table, she smiled secretly and raised her little finger, and the girls made sour faces one after another.

Epiphyllum is not cold-resistant, and winter is definitely not the normal time for it to bloom. In order to keep the air temperature constant, a tall house is surrounded by braziers with charcoal fires burning continuously. It is summer all year round, and the Epiphyllum grows very well, with a rich and intoxicating fragrance.

"Wow~"

A few girls with special privileges followed in. As there were too many people and the room was full of Epiphyllums, only a few people could come in at a time, so they had to take turns to admire the flowers.

Looking at the Epiphyllum in front of her, she thought of Shu Han’s romance in her previous life at this time, and perhaps he fell in love with her in this life as well.

Shu Han smiled and waved his hand, and a basket full of Epiphyllums was brought up by the servant.

"Let Asahi carry it for fun."

The servant respectfully placed the flower basket in her hands. Looking at the basket full of white flowers, she smiled sincerely.

With her gentle makeup, this charming woman had a new look that made Shu Han's heart beat wildly.

"Like it?"

"like."

After the flower viewing was over and before the banquet began, the servants gave each girl a flower basket, but there was only one Epiphyllum in their baskets. There were mostly lilies and roses, except for Ran Qianxi's basket, which had so many Epiphyllums that it overflowed.

The girls who received the flower baskets were obviously in a bad mood.

"What? That's really unfair. Why do they only give us one?"

"That's right. How can a woman like her who is so unfaithful to her husband have so many?"

When it comes to being unfaithful to one's husband, they are not much worse than Shu Han. It's just that one of them got favored by Shu Han after sleeping in his bed, while some of them are still trying to climb into his bed.

For Ran Qianxi, the two of them were just having fun together, but for them, they were thinking of marrying him and climbing up the ladder of wealth. How could a real socialite from a prominent family lower herself like this?

It was almost dusk after dinner. The sky was dark and light snow was falling. The girls were still playing games in the yard, hoping to win Shu Han's favor.

A charming female voice was heard from beyond the high walls of the palace. Just like the Moon-catching Tower, this place seemed like a brothel that never closed.

With a bang, a sea of ​​fireworks ignited in the sky. Fireworks of various shapes and colors hung in the deep sky, attracting the eyes of everyone present.

"Oh my god, look, whose house is setting off fireworks?"

Shu Han endured the swollen shoulder from her slapping and held her wrist with a grimace.

"Could it be my house?"

Ran Qianxi looked back in an instant, and the distance between them was so close that their hearts were touching each other, and in an instant, each other showed endless love.

"You set it off? It's not even Chinese New Year yet, are you going to confess your feelings?"

A pair of burning eyes suddenly stared at her, and she was sensitive enough to sense the unusual atmosphere immediately.

"That look in your eyes..."

Shu Han's eyes kept looking at her, and the person who was stared at started to feel uncomfortable again.

"Haha, stop messing around..."

"I'm not making a fuss. Didn't you take my flowers?"

Ran Qianxi glanced at the slowly closing Epiphyllum in Sui Xue's hand, and suddenly felt like she had fallen into a trap.

She asked in surprise: "You want to confess to me?"

"Why are you surprised? I've been yours for a long time, haven't I?"

"hehe…"

She laughed awkwardly a few times. No matter in this life or the previous one, she had never thought of marrying him. She thought he would have a good life and no trouble, and he could see things clearly and not be twisted. But it turned out that he was just a romantic man.

"Don't be so serious, you... you, didn't you say that we would only talk about ambiguity and not about feelings? Why did you change your mind?"

"This is really the first time I've fallen in love with someone so impulsively."

Listening to the love words that she knew by heart, Ran Qianxi frowned.

Looking at his unbridled and handsome face, she couldn't believe it at all.

"Why do your words sound so familiar to me... I also said the same thing to the top performer of Buyue Tower..."

Shu Han was visibly stunned for a moment.

"This is the first time I've done this to a girl."

Hearing this, Ran Qianxi curled her lips even more helplessly.

"Stop it, it sounds more and more familiar."

"How can you trust me?"

Ran Qianxi smiled gently, hugged him and kissed him, because at this moment she just wanted to end this topic quickly.

"I already believe you, let's go back to the room."

She hurriedly turned around and left but couldn't pull Shu Han away, and was pulled back by him with a little force.

With his sleeves flying out, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply.

"Uh-huh~"

Shu Han's Adam's apple slid up and down vigorously, and she also stood on tiptoe and tried her best to cooperate. The eyes of the whole audience were focused on her, and the fireworks seemed to be hanging alone in the sky with no one to appreciate them.

Constrained by her height, her ankles were almost cramping.

Shu Han could clearly feel that her lower body was a little unstable, so he picked her up and carried her on his waist and went back to the room, adding another chapter to the picture of the gentleman playing with the beautiful woman.

The girls in the courtyard left one after another, each of them looked dejected. Sometimes the more you want something, the more you will lose it.
