You were taken hostage, why pursue the Enemy's Empress?
Chapter 51 – Let's go home!

Luo Ming was a little confused.

I should have thought of it earlier!

I should have thought of it earlier!

When he asked me to give the "Newcomers Are Not as Good as the Old" music poem to his sister, I should have thought of it.

But who could have thought that his dad, who was invincible in the political arena, had such a peculiar way of thinking when it came to women and children!

Luo Yan was still confused and didn't understand what had happened.

"Wanqiu" curiously looked at Hua Chao.

Hua Chao also looked at Wanqiu with anger in her eyes. She just wanted to smash everything in front of her, but she held back in the end.

She looked at Luo Yan with gritted teeth and said, "Master Xiang, I'm leaving. There are too many people in the Minister's Mansion, and I can't stay here. I won't see Ying Wuji again in the future, but please spare Shangmo Bookstore. Goodbye!"

After speaking, she left directly.

Luo Yan wanted to say something, but heard a mournful voice beside him.

"So I'm just a substitute for that girl's mother?"

"No..."

"No need to deny it. Even if that's the case, I still love you."

"Uh-huh!"

Looking at the woman with black hair and the white-haired Luo Yan gazing at each other affectionately, Luo Ming felt his stomach churning and hurriedly ran out. "Sis! Wait for me!"

He followed her all the way to the gate of the Minister's Mansion.

"Sis! I really didn't expect this!"

"Sis! You understand me. Even if I'm disgusting, I'm not that disgusting!"

"I really didn't know that the 'surprise' at the end would be like this!"

"Sis! You won't ignore me in the future, will you..."

Hua Chao stopped in her tracks. "Enough!"

Luo Ming quickly shut up and lowered his head in shame.

Hua Chao was already crying. "Why does no one want me to be happy? I've been very happy running the bookstore during this time! Just because I'm Luo Yan's daughter, the bookstore can't be opened, Ying Wuji should hate me, and I shouldn't have anyone who sincerely treats me well by my side? Luo Yan is really cruel. Why do I have his blood in my body? Okay, his goal has been achieved, and so has yours. Are you happy?"

Luo Ming felt uncomfortable in his chest. "Sis, what are you going to do in the future?"

Hua Chao turned her head. "What I'm going to do has nothing to do with you. Anyway, I won't see Ying Wuji again! But I don't want to see his hard work destroyed. Otherwise, even if I become a ghost, I won't forgive you!"

After speaking, she left.

Luo Ming stood still, wanting to catch up, but felt that he couldn't face her anymore.

Hua Chao walked quickly. When she approached the gate of the Minister's Mansion, she heard a familiar voice cursing.

"I am the prince of Kingdom Qian. I want to see your prime minister. This is a diplomatic matter. Who are you to stop me, a gatekeeper?"

"Announcement? Then go and make the announcement quickly. You've been standing here doing nothing since earlier. Do you think I'm blind? What's the difference between you and a waiter in a restaurant saying that the food is being prepared?"

"You don't listen, do you? If you keep fooling me, I'll take action. Mr. Gatekeeper, you don't want to be accused of plotting against the prince of a friendly country, do you?"

"Oh... Hua Chao?"

Ying Wuji was at the gate, arguing with the gatekeeper, when he saw a familiar figure come out of the Minister's Mansion and quickly turned around to chase after her.

Hua Chao ran, and he chased after her.

She couldn't fly, but he caught her wrist after a few steps.

Ying Wuji was a little unhappy. "You didn't even say a word and just came to the Minister's Mansion. Don't you know how worried I was..."Seeing the teary eyes of Hua Chao, he paused for a moment before sighing softly, "Let's talk on the carriage, Hua Chao."

Hua Chao didn't know what to say, but she stubbornly looked at Ying Wuji, unwilling to move her feet.

Ying Wuji's heart softened and he spoke gently, "Do you trust me? Listen to me."

The warm look in his eyes made Hua Chao feel inexplicably relieved.

She sighed inwardly and decided to listen to what he had to say.

"Okay!"

The two of them returned to the carriage of the Qian Kingdom Embassy in front of the Minister's Mansion, and they left directly with Bai Zhi driving, away from the prying eyes of others. Hua Chao couldn't hold back her emotions anymore and cried on Ying Wuji's shoulder.

When she had calmed down a bit, Ying Wuji asked, "What happened? Tell me everything that happened since I left the bookstore last night."

"Okay!"

Hua Chao agreed and told him everything that happened, adding at the end, "When we go back to the bookstore later, I will take my things and move back to where I used to live. You should run the bookstore well and don't let other bookstores surpass us."

Ying Wuji smiled, "Okay! But I won't return the money you invested."

Hua Chao felt a little bitter, feeling like she had been taken advantage of. She turned her head away and didn't say anything.

Ying Wuji grinned, "You really believed me? You invested all your money, how will you live?"

Hua Chao replied, "I won't live."

She was clearly acting out of spite.

Ying Wuji held her face in his hands and turned her gaze towards him, "So you went to the Minister's Mansion just because you were worried about me blaming you if the bookstore failed?"

"Okay!"

Hua Chao lowered her head.

Ying Wuji smiled, "If it's because you're afraid I'll blame you, you don't have to suffer like this. But if you're afraid of losing money by following me, then pack your things and go back. Our bookstore is making a lot of money, and I'll return your investment in a few days!"

Hearing this, Hua Chao felt relieved and her eyes regained a hint of a smile.

She lightly spat, "I wasn't afraid of losing money when you swindled me before. Now that I'm about to break even, don't even think about kicking me out."

Just then, the carriage stopped.

Ying Wuji jumped out of the carriage and extended his hand to Hua Chao, "We're home, Hua Chao!"

Hua Chao wiped away her tears and smiled, "Okay! Let's go home!"

As they walked back to the bookstore side by side, Bai Zhi looked at them with a strange expression and followed them into the study.

As soon as Hua Chao entered the room, she saw the books on the table.

"Shan Hui Gui Tan?"

"Lan Ling Sheng?"

She immediately understood Ying Wuji's intentions and lightly spat, "You're so bad to come up with such a trick."

Ying Wuji smirked and didn't say anything else.Hua Chao pursed her lips, flipped through the pages, and quickly finished reading the first story. Her eyes were filled with amazement, "Did you write this?"

Ying Wuji nodded, "Of course!"

"This, this, this..."

Hua Chao was somewhat excited, "Such a wonderfully poignant story will definitely surpass Lan Ling Sheng's works, and the bookstore will be saved!"

At first, she thought Ying Wuji's "I'll pay you back in a few days" was a joke, but now it seemed that there was indeed a chance for a turnaround.

However, Ying Wuji shook his head, "I originally planned to use this story to make a comeback, but now I've changed my mind!"

Hua Chao was stunned, "Ah? Why?"

Ying Wuji smiled, "Because I have an even better story!"

Hua Chao asked, "What is it?"

Ying Wuji directly picked up his brush and wrote three big characters on the paper.

Execution!

Beauty!

Case!
