Look here now, no matter how much this woman had previously pretended to be uninterested, she could not help but smile when she heard that I was willing to make her my wife! How much has she actually fallen for me that she would be so happy once I had said those words?
"Marry you?" Gu Ruoyun smiled indifferently as her eyes filled with mockery. She curled her lips and stared at the man before her, "You're willing to take me as your wife so I can't refuse you? Are you... Even up to par?"
Lu Chen's initially complacent expression froze in place upon hearing those words. He could not believe his ears as he stared in shock at Gu Ruoyun.
She has... Rejected me?
Impossible!
No one is this world can resist my charms! It's absolutely impossible!
I was merely loosening the reins for a better grasp, I've seen a lot of this sort of trickery from other women.
Yes, Lu Chen. Qianbae Yeah gave Gu Ruoyun the freaking animal kingdom as a betrothal gift. What exactly do YOU have? Pfft. (ಠ_ಠ)
Also, in the paragraph where the little princess mentions that *big brother Lu* has changed, the author actually wrote it as *顾大哥*. Which should be translated as *big brother Gu*. However, I've changed it to *big brother Lu* for clarity, as we are currently on the subject of Lu Chen, and I don't think that there's any *big brother Gu*-s around here... Unless she's talking about Gu Shengxiao... Which kinda doesn't make sense here since he's never been mentioned in this arc...
