Chapter 108B: Wife sings and husband follows
Night time’s Heavenly Dream Tower was completely different from the day. Human traffic flowed continuously and it was extraordinary bustling as lamps after lamps of decorated lanterns illuminated the night sky as though it was day time and numerous luxuriously dressed rich young masters and wealthy merchants complacent voices mixed together with the ladies’ laughing, turning the Capital’s most expensive money squandering establishment bustle extremely lively.
A bevy of ladies chattering together pleasantly as the cosmetics on their faces gave off a subtle fragrance. Behind this image of luxury life was based on innumerable currency piling up with one hand throwing money as though it was mud and the other hand raking in the gold.
Luo Qing Luan was dressed up as an unremarkable green robed scholar at the door and looking at the bustle in front of her, she was almost able to confirm that the new programme which would be launched in Heavenly Dream Tower a few days later, would probably create another new climax? Probably a few hundred thousand of taels would be raked in again!
The doorkeeper who was welcoming guests suddenly saw Luo Qing Luan as his gaze sparkled.
By now, quite a number of Heavenly Dream Tower’s waiters and ladies already knew about Luo Qing Luan and although quite a number of them were still not aware that Young Master Luo was actually a lady, but they knew that Young Master Luo and their boss Young Master Yu were on very good terms. When the doorkeeper saw her, he immediately went up to welcome her with a beaming smile, “Oh my, Young Master Luo is here, this way please.”
Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly and was just about to enter when she caught sight of a familiar figure at the corner through her peripheral vision, standing now too far away from her.
Nalan Ye, he actually followed her again?
Seeing Nalan Ye for that instance, her heart seemed to leap with joy for that one second but she had immediately intentionally brushed over it. Her expression was indifferent and Luo Qing Luan acted as though she had not seen Nalan Ye who was walking towards her, as she turned around and walked into Heavenly Dream Tower immediately.
Mama Du was just swirling her silk hanky around to serve the guests and the minute she saw Luo Qing Luan appeared, she immediately led her to the fourth floor respectfully.
“I happened to see Young Miss Luo when I was upstairs so I hurried over.” Nangong Yu smiled as he ushered Luo Qing Luan to take a seat and asked, “Are you here to take a look at Yan’er and the others?”
“Mn, there’s just another two days to the official launch of the belly dance so I’m here to ensure that everything is on tip top condition.” Luo Qing Luan smiled.
“Alright, I’ll let Yan’er and the others prepare themselves.”
Speaking to this point, Nangong Yu looked at Luo Qing Luan who was dressed in man’s clothing and his expression turned slightly strange, “Right, Young Miss Luo, haven’t you just got married… forget about the past because you and Ziqing are not related but now that you’re already married, would Ziqing be willing to let you come to Heavenly Dream Tower?”
Saying that, his gaze shifted as he was already looking at the staircase and immediately laughed, “I was just say, so you two indeed came together. You’re really in rapport with each other.”
He followed her again? Luo Qing Luan turned her head when she heard that and indeed saw Nalan Ye walking upstairs.
He really was indeed a piece of sticky candy which could not be casted away! She calmly retracted her gaze and didn’t say a word as her expression remained unchanged. So what if he came? It wasn’t her first time coming to Heavenly Dream Tower and not as if he didn’t know about it. Even if they were married, he could not control her!
Nangong Yu totally didn’t notice the oddity between the two of them and had thought that since the both of them were married, they were really one family. He smiled as he stood up and walked towards Nalan Ye, teasing and laughing at the same time, “Ziqing, I thought that Young Miss Luo came alone. She’s here to see Yan’er and the rest, don’t tell me you are too? I’ve already seen the style of Yan’er and the others new dance and after you’ve seen it, you’d probably be smitten as well. Aren’t you afraid of Young Miss Luo getting jealous?”
The minute he walked upstairs, Nalan Ye’s eyes were filled with Luo Qing Luan only so he calmly replied, “My eyes are only on Qing Luan, the other women have nothing to do with me.”
“Look at you, speaking as though it was the truth!”
Nangong Qing heard that and laughed heartily, “Ziqing, you’ve just got married so why are you so obedient towards Young Miss Luo?” He leaned closed to Nalan Ye and showed him an ambiguous expression as he said softly, “Ai, you were never like this in the past, since when have you turned into a wife slave?”
He thought that Nalan Ye would at least rebuke him with one sentence but who knew that he totally ignored him as he walked towards Luo Qing Luan and sat down in front of her. His peerless face naturally brought along a nicely set smile as even the expression in his eyes turned gentle, “Qing Luan, you’ve walked really fast, are you tired, drink some tea?”
Saying that, Nalan Ye picked up the teapot in front of him as he poured a cup out and placed it in front of Luo Qing Luo, “Come, moisten your throat.”
Luo Qing Luan took a look at Nalan Ye as she said, “I’m not thirsty.” She couldn’t even be bothered to say anything more to him. She directly asked Nangong Yu to let Yan’er and the others come out quickly. She wanted to see how was the effect of the newly designed costumes was with the performance.
Somehow feeling that the two were acting a little strange, Nangong Yu really wanted to ask but the minute he recalled Nalan Ye’s temper and character, the words by the side of his mouth were forcibly suppressed. Forget it, it was best that he minded his own business, as long as there was money to be earned.
Waiting for Mama Du to get Yan’er and the other ladies out, Luo Qing Luan took a look at the ‘belly dance costume’ which she drew out already dressed on them, it was only the appearance and outlook which was different from the first time they did this. There was a new sense of allure and had also increased the amorous feel, as a single smile or scowl was extremely alluring.
When Yan’er led the ten over ladies to dance the revised Wild Dance, the arms which moved as the bells tinkled, chains of beads on snow like skin made one’s eyes follow the postures of their bodies as it moved, making Luo Qing Luo unable to not smile.
That’s right, this was the exact effect!
Currently, Luo Qing Luan felt a fiery hot gaze looking straight at herself as she turned her head and saw Nalan Ye! He actually wasn’t watching Yan’er and the others dancing, not even turning his gaze away as his eyes had been on her all the while. His gaze was not only filled with a smile, but also intoxicated with an intense love and bewitchment, totally different from the past cold and aloof him.
Luo Qing Luan’s heart skipped a beat as she couldn’t help but turned angry and ashamed, “Nalan Ye, why are you staring at me intently for?”
