The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

It wasn't that she wanted to follow Xiaoyaozi, but rather that she didn't want to be with Luo Qianmo.

Before she could even take a step, Luo Qianmo said, "Miss Fang, may I have a word with you in private?"

Fang Qingyou gave Luo Qianmo a strange look. Now, apart from her, everyone else here was his person. Was there anything she couldn't say to his face?

Also, it doesn't seem like his style to ask for her opinion first.

His style is to do what he wants to do regardless of whether she wants to or not.

Fang Qingyou originally wanted to tell him that the Demon Shadow Palace might be the culprit behind the plague in Lingnan City, but then she thought that She Ruifeng and the others must have already told him these things.

By now, he should already know what he needs to know, so saying anything more would be pointless.

Therefore, she instinctively wanted to refuse.

He asked her if he could speak to her in private, but she refused.

We're still in the Cold War, what's there to talk about?

However, before she could utter a word of refusal, Luo Qianmo added, "News has arrived from the capital."

Fang Qingyou was taken aback. If it were just ordinary news, Luo Qianmo wouldn't have used it as a bargaining chip to talk to her.

Could it be news about the Ren family, or perhaps news about Cheng'an Medical Clinic?

Last time, there was news that Ren was doing quite well at the Fang residence, and Cheng'an Medical Clinic was packed with patients. Chen Zhongjie wanted to recruit a few more doctors and apprentices, but he wanted to wait for her to return before making a decision.

Luo Qianmo saw the confusion in Fang Qingyou's eyes, but he wouldn't answer her questions. If she already knew, would she still want to talk to him alone?

While she was still confused, Luo Qianmo turned away indifferently, refusing to say another word to her.

Watching Luo Qianmo's tall figure recede into the distance, Fang Qingyou gritted her teeth in resentment. This bad man was clearly waiting for her to catch up.

If he hadn't brought it up, she could have resisted thinking about the Ren family and Cheng'an Medical Clinic. But now that he'd mentioned it, she had no idea what the news was, whether it was good or bad, and she felt both worried and nervous.

Therefore, she couldn't possibly let this information go.

"Luo Qianmo, you bastard!"

Knowing full well that she cares about these kinds of messages, he used them to lure her!

Well, he did it on purpose because he knew she couldn't resist temptation.

That's terrible, absolutely terrible.

She cursed Luo Qianmo in her heart several times, but she still had to obediently follow him.

Otherwise, how would she know this information?

Luo Qianmo led Fang Qingyou to his courtyard, leaving only the two of them in the hall while the others kept watch from a distance, ensuring they couldn't hear a single word they said.

As soon as she sat down, Fang Qingyou adjusted her mood and tried to make her voice sound calm.

"Eighth Prince, you mentioned earlier that news came from the capital. What news is it?"

She asked the question bluntly, intending to slip away as soon as she got the answer she wanted.

Luo Qianmo naturally knew what she was thinking, and of course he wouldn't let her get away so easily. He hadn't even said what he wanted to say yet, so how could he let her slip away?

Instead of answering her question, he asked with a slight smile, "What's wrong, Miss Fang? Are you in a hurry?"

Fang Qingyou was taken aback. Was her reaction so obvious?

She had clearly tried her best to suppress her emotions, so how could he still see through them?

She rolled her eyes speechlessly. She had underestimated him. This man was incredibly shrewd, as if he had X-ray vision. He could see right through her every time.

Well, this time will probably be no exception. She overestimated her acting skills, or rather, underestimated the man's shrewdness.

Now that she had been seen through, Fang Qingyou was no longer willing to pretend, so she said directly, "Eighth Prince, I still have things to do, so I was thinking that after we finish talking here, I can get to work as soon as possible."

"Is Miss Fang busy with the plague? As far as I know, Physician Xiaoyaozi has handled it very well."

Fang Qingyou: "..."

She did have things to do, but did Luo Qianmo really need to ask such detailed questions?

"The master did handle it very well, but I could have gone over to help him."

Luo Qianmo glanced at Fang Qingyou sideways, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Is that so? So, Miss Fang and the Divine Physician Xiaoyaozi have gotten along so well now?"

Fang Qingyou: "..."

Is it obvious that there is a rift between her and Xiaoyaozi?

She wanted to say that she and Xiaoyaozi had always had a good relationship, but seeing the ambiguous smile on Luo Qianmo's lips, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

With Luo Qianmo's shrewdness, how could he not see that she was wary of Xiaoyaozi? That's why he made her be extra careful around Xiaoyaozi, and that's why Luo Qianmo had Xuanqing keep an eye on Xiaoyaozi.

Fang Qingyou was extremely depressed. Dealing with people who are too smart is so tiring; nothing can be hidden from them.

"No matter what, can't I help my master?"

"Yes." Luo Qianmo's smile deepened and softened.

The slightly aggrieved look on the little woman's face softened his heart, and even the gloom of the impending cold war seemed to vanish instantly.

"But, Miss Fang, don't you think news about your mother is more important?"

Fang Qingyou's gaze suddenly turned to Luo Qianmo. What news about the Ren family? What happened to her?

As expected, she guessed right. The news coming from Kyoto did indeed contain information she cared about, which is why Luo Qianmo was so confident.

Seeing the expectation that instantly appeared in Fang Qingyou's eyes, Luo Qianmo's dark eyes smiled deeply: "Miss Fang, do you want to know about your mother?"

Fang Qingyou naturally wanted to know, but seeing Luo Qianmo's smug expression of having her figured out, she could only say no. However, she couldn't do that, because she knew that if she really said that, Luo Qianmo would never mention Ren's matter to her again, and would never say a word about her.

Having known Luo Qianmo for so long, I still haven't fully understood him, and I even feel that my understanding of him is only the tip of the iceberg. However, I do know his temperament.

This is a domineering man who means what he says.

Therefore, all she could say was that she wanted to.

"Eighth Prince, what are your conditions?"

"Conditions? Do you think we need to discuss conditions given our relationship?"

Fang Qingyou silently complained to herself, "Luo Qianmo, could you be any more hypocritical?"

If there's no need to negotiate, why don't you just tell me about the Ren family directly instead of going around in circles for so long?

Putting all that aside, it's precisely because of their relationship that we need to ask in advance, because who knows if he might make any unreasonable demands later.
