She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 491 - 490: In public, she’s the lady, but in private, she’s the miss.

Chapter 491: Chapter 490: In public, she’s the lady, but in private, she’s the miss.

Seeing Xiao Pingfeng about to leave, Chu Qi hurriedly called out to stop him.

"Last time, Brother Xiao didn’t speak to me like this. You said that the prettiest girls in the Capital City could all be found here at Lanxiao Square."

Xiao Pingfeng turned around, wanting to scold him.

In front of Wanwan, what nonsense are you spouting?

Caught off guard, someone pinched the soft flesh on his waist from behind.

He only heard that clear and beautiful voice, "The prettiest girls are all in Lanxiao Square?"

"Oh, sister-in-law has arrived too." Chu Qi, eager for a good show and not afraid of a big scene, started off with a laugh.

Yan Wanqing was not coy, poking her head out from behind Xiao Pingfeng, "What a coincidence, Brother Chu."

This familiar address instantly took Chu Qi back to the past, but soon enough, he gathered his composure and smiled carefree, "It’s just that sister-in-law won’t be able to enter Lanxiao Square. This place doesn’t welcome ladies."

"Is that so?" Yan Wanqing pushed Xiao Pingfeng aside, jumped down from the carriage, and looked at Chu Qi, "How about we make a bet? If I can get the girls inside to be exceptionally warm to me, Brother Chu, you will have to agree to one condition of mine."

Chu Qi shrugged, "I’ll watch your performance."

Lanxiao Square was a place for gentlemen, and Yan Wanqing was dressed as a woman today. Could the girls inside really treat her like a prized possession?

Even Xiao Pingfeng curled the corners of his lips, shaking his head helplessly.

"My lady, you mustn’t go easy on purpose."

Seeing that both of them looked down on her, Yan Wanqing turned to Cong Ge and Hao Ren, "Which of you two is betting on who wins?"

Cong Ge immediately raised her hand, "This servant unconditionally chooses the mistress."

Hao Ren felt somewhat uncomfortable, but also looked towards Yan Wanqing, "This subordinate supports... the mistress."

"Your people, of course, support you, but supporters here are of no use, you need the girls inside to support you," he said.

Yan Wanqing pouted, "Brother Chu, today I’ll make you lose convincingly."

She took the lead and walked towards the entrance.

Chu Qi and Xiao Pingfeng exchanged glances, both silently choosing to follow her.

Cong Ge, who was behind them, also wanted to follow, but Hao Ren grabbed her.

"You’re a girl; it’s not suitable for you to enter such a place."

Cong Ge shook off his hand, "I’m going to find my miss."

In front of others, she is the mistress, but behind their backs, she is the miss.

This little maid had two faces indeed.

Cong Ge quickly caught up to Yan Wanqing and supported her, and the helpless Hao Ren, who couldn’t just stand there on his own, chose to follow as well.

Lanxiao Square was indeed the most rapidly developing Flower Building in the Capital City.

The girls inside were all more beautiful than the last.

There were many top performers poached from other places.

The quality was exceptionally good.

And their temperaments were equally formidable.

It wasn’t just about having money; these girls also needed to be charmed by a person’s unique charisma.

Chu Qi had already visited once.

After not receiving the psychological satisfaction he expected, he had been itching for a chance to come back.

He had to see just what kind of person could make it in Lanxiao Square.

So today, upon seeing Xiao Pingfeng’s carriage on the road, he had directly called out to him.

He wanted to see if Xiao Pingfeng could make it here.

After the two handsome men walked in, they only received a fleeting glance from the women, and that was it.

But those same women were flocking to Yan Wanqing like butterflies to a flower...

Chu Qi: "... Did I drink too much tonight, am I seeing things?"

Xiao Pingfeng lifted his foot and stomped on his instep, "Does it hurt?"

Chu Qi winced, his features scrunching together, "Madman!"

"That proves you’re not drunk. You’re also cursing at me? Heartless," Xiao Pingfeng sneered.

Chu Qi raised his hand and struck back, "Don’t you think this scene is bizarre?"

"Can’t you accept defeat?" Xiao Pingfeng looked at him, "Don’t think about welching on the bet."

Chu Qi felt it was impossible to communicate with this person.

He turned to look at Hao Ren, "What do you think?"

Hao Ren was dead serious, "Very normal."

As long as it concerned the Commandery Princess Anping, he found everything to be normal.

And within reason.

Chu Qi, "...", How are people from Dawei made?

Are their brains made of tofu?

At this moment, Yan Wanqing was surrounded by admirers, her fair face now marked with several lipstick prints.

She smugly arched an eyebrow at Chu Qi, "You gotta admit defeat when you lose a bet, little brother Chu."

Chu Qi clasped his hands in salute, "I concede, but may I die knowing why?

In terms of physique and looks, I, Chu Qi, am not lacking, right?

In terms of wealth, who can be richer than a king of a country?

As for humor and wit, which girl wouldn’t be tickled pink as long as I wanted them to be?

Why, then, have I lost to Yan Wanqing, to a woman?

Yan Wanqing on the platform curled her red lips, "Want to know?"

"I beg my sister-in-law to enlighten me."

Chu Qi’s face was the picture of sincerity.

"It’s simple." Yan Wanqing let go of the girls’ slim waists and stepped down from the platform, "I own Lanxiao Square."

Chu Qi, "...", his eyes instantly shot towards Xiao Pingfeng.

His face read, your wife opens a brothel, and you don’t care?

Xiao Pingfeng, "...", "What?"

I knew my wife ran a brothel, but I genuinely had no clue about Lanxiao Square.

Yan Wanqing was indifferent, "I bought it not long ago, and only learned about it after returning to the Capital."

She faced Chu Qi with an outstretched hand, "A bet’s a bet, hand over the stake."

Chu Qi shook his head helplessly and pulled a jade pendant from his waist, "Here."

"The jade pendant won’t do, pick something else." However, before the pendant could even reach Yan Wanqing, it was pushed back.

Chu Qi, "???", Do you two have some secret understanding?

"In Dawei, a jade pendant is a token of engagement; it should not be given away lightly," Xiao Pingfeng said, his expression unchanged, "Choose something else."

"But I didn’t bring anything else." At a loss, Chu Qi looked around and finally took out his purse, "You surely don’t expect me to give away silver as the stake."

"No need for that, just pour out the silver."

The emptied purse was taken from Chu Qi’s hands, and only then did the Crown Prince seem satisfied, "The purse will do."

A purse used by the King of Chu Kingdom was unique; it was a fitting token that left no room for reneging on the bet.

Yan Wanqing gave the purse to Cong Ge to keep safe.

"Well, King Chu, enjoy yourself today. I’ll be your host and give you a fifty percent discount on drinks."

Chu Qi fell silent, "... Only a fifty percent discount? I’ve come from afar; shouldn’t you be treating me for free?"

"What’s given freely isn’t cherished. With so many gorgeous girls in Lanxiao Square, you surely can’t expect free favors," Yan Wanqing rolled her eyes, "Otherwise, not even the discount."

"Fine, I’ll take the half-off," Chu Qi resignedly accepted.

Facing her, he stood no chance.

"Alright, enjoy yourself, we’re heading back," Yan Wanqing yawned and stepped forward to hook her arm through Xiao Pingfeng’s.

The two of them simply left Chu Qi behind in Lanxiao Square.

Just as Chu Qi was about to say something, the girls from Lanxiao Square swarmed around him.

"My lord, let us take good care of you."

"What’s your relationship with our boss, sir..."

"You’re so handsome, sir. How long have you known our boss..."

The girls were more enthusiastic than before.

But this enthusiasm seemed to be directed not only at him but also through him at someone else.

Chu Qi didn’t know whether to be happy or not.
