After a master of metaphysics severed ties with his family, the whole family was filled with regret!

Chapter 3 Can we share a room tonight?
"I was saying, can we sleep in the same room tonight? We can get to know each other better so we won't become a resentful couple after we get married!"

Luo Chujiu said matter-of-factly.

She and Xiao Beiming were destined for each other, their fates intertwined by an incredibly thick red thread that no one could break!
So, is it too much for her to ask to sleep in the same room as Xiao Beiming?

Seeing Luo Chujiu's innocent and bewildered expression, Xiao Beiming was certain that her statement about sleeping in the same room was simply what it sounded like.

"Nan Ke, prepare a side room in my courtyard."

"Yes, I am resigning."

Nan Ke left the main hall without stopping, afraid that he would hear an even more explosive conversation.

"Aren't we sleeping in the same room?"

Luo Chujiu was particularly concerned about this point.

“Miss Luo, we are not yet married, so we absolutely cannot sleep in the same room. If word gets out, it will damage your reputation.” Xiao Beiming explained to Luo Chujiu in a serious tone the reason why they could not sleep in the same room.

Luo Chujiu seemed to understand but not quite, "But what do I need something as fleeting and ephemeral as fame? Right now, I just want to cultivate our relationship and marry you as soon as possible!"

Luo Chujiu values ​​efficiency above all else, and if possible, she felt that marrying Xiao Beiming tomorrow wouldn't be out of the question.

However, it seems that her prince husband is too shy and a little embarrassed, so Luo Chujiu is willing to give him some time to accept her.

Faced with Luo Chujiu's bluntness, Xiao Beiming was speechless.

"We can discuss our marriage later. The most important thing right now is to contact your father and bring him back to the Luo family. You can stay at my residence for the night. Tomorrow I will take your father to the Prince's residence so that you and your father can meet."

Although Xiao Beiming believed that Luo Chujiu was not lying to him, just to be on the safe side, he still wanted Luo Wanping to verify her identity.

How could the eldest daughter of the prestigious Luo family be allowed to live in the Xiao Prince's mansion without any explanation?
"Okay, so after I meet my adoptive father, does that mean I have to go home with him? Can I not go home with him? I like you more, and I want to live with you."

Luo Chujiu made no attempt to conceal her preferences.

In her mind, if you like someone, you should say it directly, and you should strive to achieve your own ideas instead of waiting for others to arrange things for you.

Xiao Beiming's ears turned red after hearing her words.

How can this girl speak so bluntly? She's not ashamed at all!
"That's naturally not possible. If you want to live in the Prince's Palace, you must wait until you become my Princess Consort."

"That's easy! We'll get engaged after I meet my adoptive father tomorrow. Tomorrow might be too late, so how about we have the wedding the day after?"

Luo Chujiu enthusiastically planned their wedding with Xiao Beiming, as if everything was going to work out.

Xiao Beiming originally intended to persuade Luo Chujiu to take it slow. If they were truly destined to be together, they wouldn't care about the short time. However, she completely defied expectations and didn't follow the usual path.

"Ahem. How can such a major event as marriage be handled so hastily and carelessly? The formal betrothal ceremony and the elaborate sedan chair carried by eight men are indispensable. Don't be in such a hurry. I will be yours sooner or later."

To appease Luo Chujiu, Xiao Beiming even uttered such shameful words, and after saying them, his entire body, from head to toe, turned red!
Fortunately, there was no one else around, otherwise Xiao Beiming would have been mortified!

However, it was this last sentence that satisfied Luo Chujiu.

"Alright then, you're mine, and no one can take you away from me. Anyone who tries to break us up will be struck by lightning."

"No one will break up our marriage, so you can rest assured."

"Your Highness, Miss Luo's room is ready and she can be settled in."

After Nan Ke tidied up the room, he immediately came to inform Xiao Beiming.

"Take Miss Luo downstairs to rest. Dinner can be delivered directly to her room."

Xiao Beiming glanced at Luo Chujiu, then looked at Nan Ke. "Miss Luo, this way please—"

Luo Chujiu looked at Xiao Beiming with reluctance, then moved step by step outside, and finally followed Nan Ke back to the room that Xiao Beiming had arranged for her.

After Luo Chujiu left, Xiao Beiming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When Xiao Beiming saw Luo Chujiu's reluctant look just now, he felt that he almost softened and agreed to let her sleep in the same room with him.

But in the end I held back.

This is against the rules; it's not too late to live together after you're married.
Xiao Beiming was completely unaware that in less than a day, his thinking had been successfully led astray by Luo Chujiu.

The two had only met for the first time today, yet they were already talking about marriage, and Xiao Beiming himself had even tacitly agreed that they would get married in the future.

After arriving in the room, Luo Chujiu threw her bundle onto the table and then lay down on the soft bed.

Nan Ke's lips twitched slightly. He hadn't expected Luo Chujiu to be so unladylike.

"Miss Luo, would you like to take a bath and change your clothes first? There's still quite a while before dinner, you have plenty of time."

Nan Ke subtly reminded Luo Chujiu that she should change her clothes.

His filthy appearance was unbearable to look at, and standing next to his prince, Nan Ke felt as if the prince had been defiled.

After Nan Ke reminded her, Luo Chujiu realized that she should change her clothes.

"Could you please bring in a bucket of hot water for me, young man? I'd like to take a hot shower."

"Miss Luo, you're too kind. I'll make the arrangements right away."

Nan Ke's attitude towards Luo Chujiu changed significantly. After realizing that Luo Chujiu was beneficial to the prince, he wished he could worship Luo Chujiu.

Soon, the maids carried hot water into the room to help Luo Chujiu bathe and change.

The maid treated Luo Chujiu as if she were the mistress of the manor, serving her with utmost care. The bath tub was filled with flower petals, and Luo Chujiu was washed clean from head to toe.

"What kind of hairstyle would you like, young lady?" the maid asked softly.

"Just braid my hair into two little braids, then curl them into a ball and put them on my head, thank you, sister!"

The maid was quite frightened by Luo Chujiu's address of "elder sister" and was extremely terrified.

"You're too kind, young lady. Just call me 'Feiyun' and I'll do your hair right away."

Upon hearing this, Luo Chujiu did not correct her, but silently watched Feiyun dress and groom herself.

With Fei Yun's skillful styling, Luo Chujiu looked at herself in the bronze mirror and felt very playful and lively, quite satisfied with the look.

"Thank you, Sister Feiyun. I really like it. This is my thank-you gift to you!"

Luo Chujiu casually took out a talisman and, regardless of Feiyun's wishes, stuffed it into her palm.

She observed Fei Yun's face and sensed that she was in danger. This talisman could help her get through this ordeal.

"Miss Luo, what is this?"

Feiyun looked at the yellow talisman in her hand, then gazed at Luo Chujiu with a puzzled expression.
