Chen Mo gazed at the girl sitting in his lap.
Her eyebrows arched like distant mountains cloaking mists, her eyes were like ripples of autumn waters, below her exquisite nose, a pair of lips glistened invitingly red.
Just in terms of appearance, she was a notch above those dancing girls, a stunning beauty that caught the eye.
What’s more special was the refined elegance and scholarly air about her, typical of ladies from established families, yet her dress was rather revealing, through the thin gauze skirt one could see the pale pink wrap-around chest garment, and the faintly discernible curves beneath.
Close yet enigmatic.
"There are no chairs here, so I’m sitting on the lord’s lap... Am I a bit heavy?" Miss Yu’er asked softly.
Chen Mo nodded, then shook his head.
Indeed, she was slightly heavier than the last dancing girl who flaunted her figure, but it was the perfect kind of heavy.
"Do you recognize me?"
Chen Mo inquired.
Miss Yu’er replied with a smile, "Who in Tiandu City does not know of Mr. General’s great name? I was not supposed to entertain guests tonight, but hearing that General Chen has arrived, I couldn’t contain my admiration and wished to behold the general’s elegance..."
As she looked at his porcelain-like fair complexion, Miss Yu’er’s ears turned slightly red.
Although she had seen Chen Mo’s portraits before, she did not expect the real person to be so graceful and flawless, as immaculate as a fine jade.
Beneath his garments, his muscles were robust and powerful, his strong masculine aura quickened her heartbeat, making her feel weak at the knees.
Those scholars from Scholarly Supervision often penned sour verses to court her, hoping to win her affection, little did they know, at the depths of this noble lady’s heart, what she desired was a powerful man who could conquer her...
Even more so a great hero who vanquishes evil!
"It was that person’s arrangement indeed, but looking at it now, it seems I’m the one who has gained."
Miss Yu’er filled a wine cup on the table, held it out towards Chen Mo with both hands, her voice as enchanting as forest and stream melodies:
"Lord, drink this cup, and then follow me inside to rest."
Facing the beauty’s initiative, Chen Mo found no reason to refuse.
"Eels may be desired, but eventually one finds abalone; this night is indeed not wasted."
Chen Mo took the wine cup and drank it in one gulp.
Then, amid a series of coquettish cries, he swept Miss Yu’er up in his arms and strode towards the inner room.
"Chen..."
Li Yuan’s lips quivered, as if she wanted to call out to him.
But until the two figures disappeared, she couldn’t utter a word.
...
The room fell into a temporary silence.
The guests looked at each other, some not daring to believe what they’d seen.
Not only was Yu’er beautiful and versed in music, but she also had a peculiar identity, being the daughter of the former Minister of War.
And she was a possible candidate to replace Gu Manzhi as the Oiran!
Before her hair was even officially combed, to actively invite a customer to be a private guest... Wasn’t this degrading herself too much?
"Just now I heard her call that man General Chen, could it be..."
The man in the white robe suddenly realized something, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"That’s the top card from Qingya House! Last time I spent thirty taels, and only listened to two songs."
"And our boss spent not a penny, yet won the beauty."
