“What’s wrong? Little sister still hasn’t made up her mind?”
Seeing Meng Xiaoyu standing alone at the door, struggling for a long time without reaching a conclusion, Yan Rumei couldn’t help but ask.
After all, it was getting late, and more and more guests were arriving at “Wuchun Pavilion.”
It wasn’t good for such a pretty little thing to just stand at the door!
“Um, I’ve thought it over. I agree to your conditions, but I have a request as well.”
Hearing Yan Rumei’s words, Meng Xiaoyu lifted her head and replied.
“Okay, what is your request?”
Yan Rumei was curious about what kind of request this little one would make.
“My request is simple: you must let me personally acknowledge that the person you bring me to see is a beauty. Otherwise, I won’t agree.”
Meng Xiaoyu stated her terms to Yan Rumei.
“Alright, no problem. Come with me, little one!”
After saying this, Yan Rumei headed straight for the second floor of “Wuchun Pavilion.”
Hearing that Yan Ru agreed to her request, Meng Xiaoyu secretly made a V sign behind her back and then followed Yan Ru up to the second floor.
At the same time, she couldn’t help but praise her own cleverness in her heart, “Hehe, I’m so smart! This way, no matter what kind of beauty she brings me to see later, as long as I don’t acknowledge her as a beauty, then the condition of performing on stage for half a month won’t hold. By then, not only will I have seen the beauty, but I also won’t have to perform on stage. Hahaha, how am I so clever?”
“Hey, are we there yet?”
After following Yan Rumei for a long time without seeing any beauty, Meng Xiaoyu couldn’t help but ask.
Originally, she thought that the great beauty Yan Rumei mentioned would be in one of the rooms on the second floor, but unexpectedly, after circling the entire second floor with Yan Rumei, they ended up back in the lobby downstairs.
Just as Meng Xiaoyu was puzzled, Yan Rumei led her to a small courtyard behind “Wuchun Pavilion.”
“Alright, here we are,” Yan Rumei said, pointing to a room in front of them.
Upon hearing Yan Rumei’s words, Meng Xiaoyu looked up and immediately lost her composure.
“What the heck, are you messing with me? I saw this room shortly after you brought me to this courtyard. Then you took me wandering around this courtyard for ages, passing by this room at least three times. Now you tell me the beauty you want to show me is in this room? Were you just leading me around for no reason?”
Meng Xiaoyu shouted angrily at Yan Ru.
“Ah, little sister, don’t be mad! I just wanted you to get familiar with the environment! Otherwise, when you live here, you might get lost because you’re not used to it,” Yan Rumei said cheerfully, looking at Meng Xiaoyu’s furious expression.
“Live here? Why would I live here? I’m not one of the girls in your brothel,” Meng Xiaoyu replied, confused by Yan Rumei’s words.
“Did you forget the condition you agreed to?”
Yan Ru said with a smile.
“I haven’t forgotten, but I also said that I must acknowledge that the person is a beauty for your conditions to be valid,” Meng Xiaoyu retorted, seeing Yan Rumei’s mischievous smile.
“Hehe, I haven’t forgotten either,” Yan Rumei said with a smile before turning around and pushing open the door to walk inside.
“How rude! You didn’t even knock before going in,” Meng Xiaoyu muttered to herself after seeing Yan Rumei push the door open and walk into the room, then followed her inside.
“Wow, what a simple setup!”
After entering the room behind Yan Ru, Meng Xiaoyu noticed that aside from a table and four stools, there was nothing else, and she couldn’t help but exclaim.
After her exclamation, Meng Xiaoyu curiously asked, “Where are the people?”
“In there,” Yan Rumei said, pointing to the inner room.
Hearing Yan Ru’s response, Meng Xiaoyu noticed there was another room separated by a curtain.
She walked over, lifted the curtain, and looked inside.
She saw two women, one with her back to her and the other facing her, sitting at the table, engrossed in a game of chess.
Meng Xiaoyu first examined the woman facing her, who was wearing a light yellow dress.
With an oval face, willow leaf eyebrows, apricot kernel eyes, a straight nose, and a cherry blossom mouth, she thought, “Hmm, she’s quite pretty.”
“How is it? I didn’t lie to you, did I?”
Yan Ru leaned closer to Meng Xiaoyu and asked.
“Um, it’s okay,” Meng Xiaoyu replied casually while stretching her neck to look at the figure of the woman in white gauze who had her back to her.
“Okay? So does that count as a beauty or not?”
Yan Ru asked playfully.
“Not really,” Meng Xiaoyu answered decisively.
“Oh! So neither of them counts?”
Yan Rumei exaggerated her tone.
“The one in yellow doesn’t count, but the one in white, I don’t know,” Meng Xiaoyu replied.
“Why not?”
“I only saw her back, not her face, so I don’t know,” Meng Xiaoyu answered honestly.
“What’s wrong? Is this silhouette not beautiful enough?”
Yan Rumei raised her voice and said.
Hearing Yan Rumei’s question, Meng Xiaoyu rolled her eyes in disdain and replied, “The silhouette of a flower is still beautiful! But isn’t it true that she has a face that could make the heavens collapse?”
“Oh! Who is this flower? Has she really become so beautiful that the heavens are collapsing?”
Yan Rumei deliberately twisted Meng Xiaoyu’s words.
“Yes! Not only is she beautiful enough to make the heavens collapse, but she’s also beautiful enough to provoke the wrath of both gods and men!”
Meng Xiaoyu said, rolling her eyes.
“In that case, how should we handle our agreement?”
“Handle it? Of course, it’s null and void.”
“Oh… can you explain why it should be null and void?”
“I mentioned before that I must personally acknowledge them as beauties, but look at these two now. One, while quite pretty, doesn’t qualify as a beauty, and the other one, I can only see her back. I have no idea if her face is beautiful or ugly, so our previous agreement is null and void.”
After saying this, Meng Xiaoyu took a step forward and walked toward the door.
She had a very bad feeling since she saw that woman in white with her back turned.
It kept reminding her to leave quickly.
So, without even seeing the woman’s face, she planned to leave.
“Hey… aren’t you going to take a look at her? She’s really very beautiful!”
Seeing Meng Xiaoyu about to leave, Yan Rumei immediately grabbed her.
“No, I don’t want to look anymore, so I’m leaving. Bye, see you!”
After saying this, Meng Xiaoyu tried to shake off Yan Rumei’s grip on her sleeve.
“I say, little sister, what’s wrong with you?”
Seeing Meng Xiaoyu’s anxious expression, Yan Rumei said with a smile, yet she still didn’t loosen her grip on Meng Xiaoyu’s sleeve.
Seeing that Yan Rumei’s hand showed no sign of letting go, Meng Xiaoyu couldn’t help but feel anxious.
The bad feeling in her heart was growing stronger.
She needed to leave quickly and return to the inn to find her sisters, Rubing and Rushuang, even though she didn’t know if they had returned to the inn.
Just as Meng Xiaoyu was thinking about going back to find the Han sisters, a joyful voice reached her ears.
“Xiaoyu, you’re back!”
Then Meng Xiaoyu saw a white figure flash by, and the next second, she was tightly embraced by that white figure.
