Traveling through ancient times, the empress insisted on having a child with me

In fact, Ling Chuan was just worrying too much. Tao Ran would never dare to put drugs in the wine. But when he saw Ling Chuan put the wine down after it reached his lips, Tao Ran still felt a little disappointed.

"It seems that Mr. Ling is still unwilling to forgive Tao Ran. Tao Ran will drink a glass as punishment." Tao Ran poured himself a glass, tilted his head back and drank it, with a tearful expression that made people feel pity for him.

I have to say that Tao Ran is truly a beauty. Just such a simple action can make people feel that not forgiving her is a heinous crime.

Even Ling Chuan, who is well-informed, almost got angry and said, "Miss Tao Ran misunderstood. I just have something important to do later and I don't dare to drink too much."

"Mr. Ling, just drink one glass to quench your thirst." Tao Ran picked up Ling Chuan's wine glass again and handed it to him.

The innocent smile on Tao Ran's face made Ling Chuan unable to refuse, so he simply made up his mind and thought, I have been in the nightlife scene for so many years, how can I be controlled by you?

He simply stretched out his hand, held Tao Ran's little hand and the cup together, and then drank the glass of wine in one gulp.

After finishing a glass of wine, when Ling Chuan let go of his hand, Tao Ran showed panic on his face. He hurriedly put down the glass, lowered his head, and returned to his seat.

Even Lingchuan couldn't tell whether her shy look was real or fake.

"Mr. Ling, please eat." Tao Ran caught a glimpse of Ling Chuan's burning gaze and lowered his head to pick up some food for Ling Chuan.

Ling Chuan also accepted everything and started eating with big mouthfuls. It was just past mealtime and he was really hungry at this moment.

After his stomach was full, Ling Chuan spoke up, "Miss Tao Ran, regarding the singing performance, I have another idea that may get Lord Feng Luan's approval."

In fact, Tao Ran didn't have any difficulties. Feng Luan of the Jiaofangsi had received favors from Tao Ran's grandfather. Who in the Jiaofangsi dared to show disrespect to Tao Ran? Tao Ran's many excuses were nothing more than trying to take the opportunity to get closer to Ling Chuan, at least to make Ling Chuan accept her favor.

After all, Ling Chuan is a married man, and if you want to take him down, you can only do it step by step.

"Mr. Ling, please tell me about it, and I will tell Lord Fengluan later."

Ling Chuan cursed in his heart again, this woman is so fucking powerful, I can't even talk to your boss?

"Okay, then I'll tell you about it." Ling Chuan put down his chopsticks and told him about his plan to replace the glazed windows for the entire Jiaofangsi for free.

Tao Ran was so surprised that he opened his mouth slightly. "Master Ling, do you know how big the Jiaofang Bureau is? Even if it's just to replace the window sashes in the business premises, it would probably be a huge expense."

Ling Chuan naturally would not call this advertising promotion. To be honest, with Tao Ran's fame, the value of a spokesperson far exceeds the cost of these glazed windows.

"I feel that this is in line with Miss Tao Ran's status. If even Master Fengluan were to be fired, it would be hard for him to refuse. Then everyone in the Jiaofang Bureau would have nothing to say, and Miss Tao Ran wouldn't be embarrassed."

Who doesn't know how to say nice things? This routine is easy for Lingchuan to use. Before, Lingchuan was hesitant because he was worried about misunderstandings, but now Lingchuan plans to let go.

What about the three most talented ladies in the capital, or the top performer in the Music Bureau? I don’t care about any of them.

Tao Ran was secretly delighted when she first heard Ling Chuan's words, but she soon came to her senses. This Master Ling was not someone who could be easily dealt with.

"Mr. Ling is indeed a big businessman, so generous. I would like to thank you first. I will definitely do my best to make this happen with Master Fengluan and not let you down."

In just a few words, Tao Ran understood Ling Chuan's background. It would not work just by flirting with him. Since you like doing business, I will cater to your interests and I don't believe that I can't win you over.

Ling Chuan thought that this was right, it would be better for us to handle official business impartially, why bother with that, so he picked up the wine glass and said, "In that case, I'll leave this matter to Miss Tao Ran. I toast to Miss Tao Ran and wish you all the best."

Tao Ran also let go, and gave Ling Chuan a killer wink with her beautiful eyes: "Mr. Ling, the weather is getting hotter. If you have something important to do under the sun, why not have a few drinks to avoid the heat and rest for a while before going."

When talking about taking a break, Tao Ran glanced at the screen beside him. Behind the screen was a couch similar to a Luohan bed. This was not a hint but an explicit statement.

Ling Chuan swallowed his saliva. Damn it, this demon is going to act up again. "No need. Brother Zhao is still waiting for me in the front yard."

Tao Ran then remembered that there was a Zhao Youtang, and he cried out softly, "Oh no, we actually forgot about Master Zhao."

Ling Chuan quickly took the opportunity to get up and say goodbye. As soon as he stepped into the front yard, he saw Zhao Youtang in the pavilion, pulling his collar with one hand, and the folding fan in the other hand was almost fanning out sparks.

However, when he saw Ling Chuan and Tao Ran coming out together, he instantly stopped his movements and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Zhao has met Miss Tao Ran."

Although Tao Ran didn't like Zhao Youtang very much, he was the second son of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion after all, and was brought here by Ling Chuan, so he had to give him enough face: "Tao Ran meets Mr. Zhao, I haven't seen him for a long time, and Mr. Zhao is as elegant as ever."

Last time, Zhao Youtang spent a lot of money to buy a poem and a jade Guanyin, which allowed him to meet Tao Ran, but through a screen.

But today, I met Tao Ran without doing anything, and we had such a close communication. I was so nervous for a moment that I didn't know what to say.

"Well, how is Miss Tao Ran these days?"

"Thanks to Master Zhao, everything is fine."

Zhao Youtang wanted to say something, but after he kept humming and humming for a long time, he couldn't think of any words.

Ling Chuan took the opportunity to bow and say goodbye to Tao Ran, then led Zhao Youtang away quickly, fearing that he would make a fool of himself.

As soon as they left the house, Zhao Youtang complained: "Brother Ling, why are you in such a hurry to leave? I finally get to see Miss Tao Ran."

Ling Chuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Miss Tao Ran will come to sing at your place in a few days. Go back and think carefully about what to say when you see Miss Tao Ran."

Zhao Youtang tapped his folding fan in his hand and said, "Yes, yes, yes, Brother Ling, what you said makes sense... Brother Ling, does this mean Miss Tao Ran agrees?"

"We spent a lot of money, how could she not agree? But she said she still needs to ask Master Fengluan."

Zhao Youtang opened his folding fan in a flash and said, "Ms. Tao Ran has already agreed. How dare a mere ninth-rank Fengluan get in the way of our affairs?"

At this point, Zhao Youtang's stomach began to growl: "Come on, let's go eat. I'm starving."

"..."

Ling Chuan suddenly felt ashamed. He was enjoying delicious food and wine inside, with beautiful women as his companions, but he left her outside to bask in the sun with an empty stomach.

So he quickly nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, I'm hungry too, let's eat first."

The job was done, and Zhao Youtang was so happy that he kept urging people to drink and helping them with food. He was overly enthusiastic. In short, Ling Chuan was very full after the meal.
