TFDC Chapter 77.2


Chapter 77.2 - Playing matchmaker for two people




He was first shocked before thinking of his own image, looked alertly at Lan Bai.


He looked her up and down before glancing at her ears.


Then, he suddenly giggled.


“Ah, it’s another person, this one’s more handsome than the last! He’s really not bad, really not bad!”


Lan Bai hadn’t first understood his meaning when he first spoke but Xiahou Liuyun’s gaze was too brazen, she suddenly covered up her ears.


She glared at him angrily, “Master, who is this?”


Meeting someone for the first time and staring at them like that, a shameless and vulgar person!


Lou Qingwu turned around, unable to help but curl her lips, looking at him unsmilingly.


“Gentleman Liuyun, is that okay if you stare at my Lan Bai like that?”


Xiahou Liuyun’s handsome face reddened, “I was just curious. She’s actually a girl!”


He thought that Miss Lou had actually found a handsome servant, because that would mean she’d be easily charmed.


Then what would his second brother do?


Thinking of his intentions to matchmake the two people, his eyes immediately curved into crescents, “Come, come, come, second brother, Miss ….”

“Gentleman Liuyun can call me Gentleman Mu.”


“Good! Gentleman Mu, second brother, quickly come and take a seat. To be able to meet here, it must be fate!”

As he finished speaking, he dragged Xiahou Rui to sit beside Lou Qingwu.


His eyes had already curved as he saw the two people’s figures in the bottom of his eyes, he became even happier.


Lou Qingwu lifted up her eyes, “It’s not a coincidence, I came here on purpose to find second gentleman.”

“Ah?” Xiahou Liuyun heard this and laughed slyly.


He elbowed Xiahou Rui, “Second brother, she came “on purpose”.”


He put emphasis on “on purpose”, his voice full of teasing.

Xiahou Rui also froze for a bit, his dark eyes looking at Lou QIngwu.


His eyes were motionless but his hand to the side was slightly clenched from how anxious he was.


Lou Qingwu looked at Xiahou Liuyun for a moment before placing two boxes on the table.


“I did indeed come on purpose. I prepared these two things, I believe second gentleman will like them.”

“Oh?”


Xiahou Liuyun’s hopeful face, when he saw those two boxes, flashed disappointment quickly but he didn’t show it on his face.


Long fingers lifted up the long box that was covered with satin.


They unravelled the satin before lifting open the box.


Then he quickly closed it.


His dark eyes were brimming with lights as he suddenly turned towards Lou Qingwu, “You …”

Lou Qingwu beamed at him as she sipped some tea, “It seems that second gentleman does like them.”


Xiahou Rui’s eyes grew deeper as he stared at Lou Qingwu.


His thin lips moved slightly, bringing a sense of emotion that couldn’t be read, “Not just like.”


This was sending someone wood during a snowstorm.


But how could she have these two things?


Thinking of her meticulous dealings, he thought, her identity probably wasn’t as simple as to only be Lou family’s eldest miss.


Thinking of how there was more to her that he didn’t know, he suddenly felt the disappointment in his heart grow.


His heart was empty and hollow, there was a bit of disappointment but more than that, there was gratitude.


“Gentleman Mu, Rui will definitely not forget today's help."


“Then that’s good, I hope that once our aims are achieved, I won’t ask anything else of second gentleman. Just that, I hope second gentleman doesn’t involve himself in any of my affairs.”

Now that she’s firmly decided to support him, then she’d support him step by step onto the path of the throne.


In this lifetime, she won’t easily believe anyone, even if it’s the person in front of her who’ll she support onto the throne.


But as long as it could make Xiahou Qing want to die, she … wouldn’t care.


Anything that Xiahou Qing wanted, she would destroy them, one by one!

TL note:


Xiahou Liuyun looks at Lan Bai’s ears because only girls had their ears pierced.


So Lan Bai had piercings which revealed she was a girl.

  1. Ah, thanks for the note, was wondering why he looked at her ears.

    I can hear the sound of Rui's heart beating faster because of her presence.... then turning completely cold when he realizes why she's there. :P

    3. LQW would have to be a seriously devastating beauty to be able to bait a man all the way to the throne 😳😳

      (totally disregarding that the throne is alluring enough)

    1. His eyes are so gentle 😍

      LQW is a total savage and I feel like LQW knows a bit at least. XHR's a little teensy tiny bit obvious πŸ™ˆ

      Thanks for reading πŸ’—

    1. Her ex just gets baffled by her sudden hatred (I would too) 😢😌

    2. Because she knows his black heart in advance.

    3. LQW's too tied to her previous life 😫😫

  4. I just wonder about this as well. However, it seems her enemies' personalities don't change much from her previous life so I think XHQ's black heart still remains the same.

    1. I think they'll change with the addition of LQW. She's acting much more differently in this life, which I think, has some further consequences for the other characters around her. XHQ gets changed a bit too πŸ€”πŸ€”
