Chapter 908
But her heart felt increasingly uncomfortable.
Gu Hanyuan first showed a look of regret,
and then smiled playfully:
"Yes, Brother Shangguan, you ruined a beautiful encounter for me; how should you compensate me?"
Shangguan Haitang's cheeks flushed as she looked at Gu Hanyuan's smiling face.
She averted her gaze as if to cover it up,
and said with feigned generosity:
"At worst, when you go to the capital, I will introduce you to someone even prettier."
The playful glint in Gu Hanyuan's eyes deepened.
He smiled lightly:
"It's a deal."
Shangguan Haitang felt somewhat troubled upon hearing this,
not knowing whether she should really introduce a beautiful woman to Gu Hanyuan.
If she didn't introduce one, it would make her seem untrustworthy;
if she did, she didn't know who to find.
After all, there weren't many whose beauty could compare to Zhen Sushan.
"I can't just send myself over, can I?"
The sudden thought startled Shangguan Haitang.
820 She secretly sized up Gu Hanyuan's handsome face,
and actually felt a faint urge to try.
Then, thinking that she was currently not in control of her own fate,
her expression suddenly became complex.
Gu Hanyuan suddenly asked:
"Brother Shangguan seems to have something on your mind?"
Shangguan Haitang didn't dare to tell the truth,
so she said with a flash of inspiration:
"I went to seek an audience with the Xixia Ruler yesterday."
"You didn't see him?"
Gu Hanyuan had expected this long ago.
Shangguan Haitang said with an ugly expression:
"Yes, the attendant only said that the Xixia Ruler was unwell."
Gu Hanyuan said with an inexplicable tone:
"Being unwell may not be false, but being unable to see people may not be true."
Shangguan Haitang froze upon hearing this,
and asked suspiciously:
"What does Brother Gu mean?"
Gu Hanyuan said with a hint of disdain:
"I found out that Li Yuanhao snatched his son's Crown Princess. He should be busy enjoying the beauty right now; being unwell is just an excuse for his own illness."
Shangguan Haitang was shocked upon hearing this,
nearly crying out in surprise.
Seeing that no one was paying attention,
she asked in a low voice:
"Really?"
Gu Hanyuan said solemnly:
"Absolutely true."
Shangguan Haitang said with an ugly expression:
"I didn't expect Li Yuanhao to be so muddled."
Gu Hanyuan mocked:
"So, forming a marriage alliance with the current Xixia may not be a good thing."
Shangguan Haitang sighed upon hearing this:
"It's a pity that I am under imperial orders, so I still have to try my best."
