Chapter 2503: Transaction (4)

He opened the message interface again.

The messages had grown even more numerous.

Zhao Chi continued reading.

He'd look at Li Ruanyu's first.

【Li Ruanyu】:

【Also, I've finished talking with Shangguan Ting. The old grudge between us can't be erased in one go, but for now… it looks all right. At the very least, we'll try to get along peacefully from now on, and not cause you trouble over family matters】

【But Gu Qing and the others on her side still need her to go communicate with and draw closer to on her own. From the look of her… she seems quite confident】

【To avoid any complications arising overnight, I suggest you take her into your room today and get it done】

【It's a bit embarrassing to say… but I still want to tell you — you… are very gifted in that area. I enjoyed every little thing you did… I really can't seem to leave you…】

【So Shangguan Ting will definitely be the same!】

【Once she experiences your… she won't be able to leave you either. It's a kind of insurance, so today let her have a proper taste… though it might be you tasting her…】

【Shangguan Ting's flaws are obvious, but she does keep her word. Once you've taken her in, you can rest easy】

【She can be a bit emotional, but she's definitely not stupid】

【On the contrary, she's very capable. Some things look impulsive on her part, but she's actually weighed and judged them. Sometimes I can't out-calculate her. She'll definitely be a help to you too】

【Nothing else】

【I'm heading back to my territory first. I'll go to the trading point later too, but the timing isn't fixed. You don't need to wait for me】

【Also… I'll come find you tonight. You have to wait for me for this one】

That counted as good news.

If the two of them could get along relatively peacefully from now on, Zhao Chi would indeed save himself a lot of worry.

And also…

She actually said she enjoyed it?

This was the first time she'd been so blunt about it.

He couldn't tell whether she was telling Zhao Chi her own feelings, or really wanted him to use that kind of method to secure Shangguan Ting.

Perhaps both.

But that last line… was already a challenge issued.

Very good.

There was plenty of time tonight.

And she hadn't yet experienced a brand-new Fierce Woman's Lament.

He had to let her have her fill.

Besides, there were still plenty of things to ask Li Ruanyu. Since she was coming tonight anyway, he'd ask her everything then.

Zhao Chi replied 【Understood】

Apart from Li Ruanyu, Shangguan Ting had of course also sent messages.

And a whole string of them at that.

Clearly still riding the high.

【Shangguan Ting】:

【Zhao Chi, we're done talking】

【Where are you?】

【Should I come find you?】

【Don't worry, I won't go looking for trouble with Li Ruanyu on my own from now on, and outside I'll keep my distance from you as much as possible】

【But if we're at home, then I won't let you off so easily. Be prepared to have me stuck to you like glue】

【Quick, quick, quick, tell me where you are, I'm coming to find you!】
