Chapter 308: Chapter 223: This Servant Will Definitely Cooperate with the Prince’s Inspection !

Just as Wang Qingci was about to step over the threshold of the study, Lu Chen suddenly spoke, “By the way, something just occurred to me.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingci paused, halted her steps, and turned to look at Lu Chen, “Does the Prince have any other matters?”

Lu Chen didn’t immediately answer; instead, he waved his hand, and the study door closed directly.

Wang Qingci was slightly stunned.

In her view, Lu Chen had become more mature, and she believed he would no longer do the things he used to do in the study. The sudden closure of the door by Lu Chen left her bewildered, unclear about what Lu Chen had in mind.

At that moment, Lu Chen said, “Mr. Wang, I’ve noticed that you seem to have some opinions about me recently.”

At these words, Wang Qingci was taken aback once more.

Opinions?

What opinions could she have?

Dare she have any opinions?

Without delay, Wang Qingci replied, “Prince, what do you mean by that? How could I possibly have any opinions against you?”

With a smile, Lu Chen said, “No opinions? If you had no opinions of me, why would you sneakily meet with someone from the Qianhai Commercial Association in private?”

At this, Wang Qingci immediately became flustered.

Indeed, she had met privately with someone from the Qianhai Commercial Association, who wanted to win her over, but she had rejected them. In her view, it was a trivial matter, so she hadn’t reported it to Lu Chen yet.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chen already knew about it.

Now there was trouble.

If she had reported to Lu Chen in advance, perhaps he wouldn’t have given it much thought, but if Lu Chen discovered on his own that she had been in contact with the Qianhai Commercial Association, there was a real possibility he might misunderstand her.

Rushing to explain, Wang Qingci said, “Prince, my private meeting with the president of the Qianhai Commercial Association was for discussing business, and I haven’t done anything to betray the North Prince Mansion or Your Highness.”

Internally panicking, Wang Qingci was afraid of being abandoned by Lu Chen. And now he brought up this matter, could it be that he was about to completely discard her, his female slave?

While Wang Qingci pondered, Lu Chen spoke, “Discussing business? I somehow find that hard to believe. According to the Brocade Guard’s report, you left the Rain-listening Pavilion quietly at dusk without anyone accompanying you. Would you be so cautious in a mere business negotiation?”

“Mr. Wang, it seems you’re not telling the truth.”

Wang Qingci’s face turned deathly pale, and she hurriedly said, “Prince, the reason I did this was to mislead the president of the Qianhai Commercial Association. The president wanted to recruit me, and I was planning to pretend to be swayed, then extract some information. It’s not that I wanted to hide it from you, Prince; it’s just that I hadn’t yet obtained any valuable information.”

“And besides, this incident happened just yesterday, so I…”

As Wang Qingci tried to explain further, Lu Chen interrupted indifferently, “Enough, I do not wish to hear any explanations. It seems Mr. Wang has grown complacent, meeting men in secret is bad enough, but the fact that you did so alone and stealthily, shows you completely disregard me.”

“Unless you are severely taught a lesson, you probably won’t learn. Come here.”

As he spoke, Lu Chen lifted his palm, and the next moment, a force promptly drew Wang Qingci into his embrace.

Lu Chen wrapped his arms around Wang Qingci’s waist and pressed her onto the desk, and as she turned her head about to offer an explanation, she heard the sound of tearing, and then her red lips were sealed.

“Mmmph mmmph…”

In that instant, a mixture of complex emotions intertwined in Wang Qingci’s heart—fear, conflict, shame, surprise, excitement, and worry…

In such a state, Wang Qingci’s entire body became incredibly hot, offering Lu Chen a completely different sensation.

Lin Wanyun was on patrol early in the morning when she passed by the study and heard some noises inside.

“Say it, do you desire to betray me by meeting men alone?”

“Yingyingying, this… this slave… won’t dare again…”

“Won’t dare again? Does that mean you actually had such thoughts to begin with? Hinph… You’re quite bold!”

“Oh no, this… this slave absolutely didn’t entertain such thoughts, alive I am Your Highness’s person, and in death I’ll be Your Highness’s ghost…”

“I don’t believe your words, I won’t let you off until I’ve punished you thoroughly today.”

“Prince… Your Highness, spare my life, I realize my mistake…”

Hearing the conversation coming from within the study, Lin Wanyun stood perplexed.

What was Lu Chen doing in the study so early in the morning?

The voice sounded like it belonged to that Wang woman who had come back.

Thinking of that Wang woman, Lin Wanyun frowned.

There was a time when Lu Chen would daily visit Chen Wanrong’s quarters in the evening to listen to her play the zither, but then he suddenly stopped.

To this day, it’s been almost two months since Lu Chen last visited Chen Wanrong’s quarters for her music, and just when the Love Worm was prepared, Lu Chen stopped coming, which once again foiled their opportunity to implant the Love Worm in him.

Although it’s possible to directly affect Lu Chen with a worm, both being in the inner courtyard and needing only to get close to him, the Love Worm is somewhat unique. It won’t affect Lu Chen unless he harbors affections for Chen Wanrong.

If Lu Chen doesn’t have feelings for Chen Wanrong, then the Love Worm will be ineffectual.
