Chapter 173 Do You Want to Be a Child Bride?

She had no idea when Chu Liuchen had appeared behind her, staring at her coldly. On his handsome face was a faint smile that sent a shiver down her spine.

sounding quite comfortable.

The pair of eyes that was glaring daggers at her was now shut in bliss. With its snow-white fur, it looked particularly lovable.

“Prince, why are you here?” Qin Wanru sat down with the cat in her embrace. This cat was pretty heavy; it was evident how well it was cared for.

“Qin Wanru, I can’t believe you’re so sly at your young age.” Chu Liuchen threw her a sidelong glance with an unhappy expression.

“What did I do, Prince?” Qin Wanru asked, carefully caressing the cat’s fur. It had been a while since she last saw Chu Liuchen, so what was he getting at now?

“Do you have your eyes on Wen Xichi? Should I play matchmaker for you?” The corners of Chu Liuchen’s mouth were curved ever so slightly. An unfathomable emotion flickered in his eyes; it was something Qin Wanru couldn’t quite understand.

“Prince, at my young age, you say?” Qin Wanru raised her head helplessly, hoping Chu Liuchen would take a good look at her face.

Chu Liuchen’s eyes were limpid as he looked Qin Wanru up and down in disdain. He then suggested, “You can be a child bride until you grow up.”

“I thought only children from poor families would become child brides, no?” Qin Wanru replied helplessly. She wondered how she offended this prince, who looked hell-bent on making life difficult for her.

“If your status is far beneath the groom, you can very well be a child bride.” Chu Liuchen rubbed his chin. Suddenly, this suggestion seemed plausible.

“I… I don’t want to be a child bride at all!” Qin Wanru silently bemoaned her hardship.

“Qin Wanru, you know you owe me your life, don’t you?” Chu Liuchen began to smile, flashing a smile that was as handsome as it was elegant. The gloominess in his eyes dissipated as he looked her up and down with a ruminating expression. She had no idea what this temperamental prince was up to.

“Thank you for your life-saving favor, Prince.” Qin Wanru helplessly stood up and bowed to him.

Prince Chen was the one she least understood in this world. She was very perceptive with others, but this person whose mood flipped as easily as a switch had thoughts completely foreign from others.

Chu Liuchen was pleased after seeing her all nervous like the cat earlier. He raised an eyebrow and asked, “What about it? Do you want to be a child bride of the Deputy Prime Minister’s Chambers?”

“No!” Qin Wanru replied without even thinking about it.

Even though she owed Wen Xichi a debt of gratitude, she had no plans of repaying him with her heart. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that she had no plans of marrying anyone. Though she had married Wen Xichi in her past life, they were friends and not lovers. Even on his deathbed, Wen Xichi kept telling her to remarry and not stay a widow for his sake.

“Will you really not consider it? Qin Wanru, mull it over. If I agree with it, you can consider it a done deal. Remember, I don’t make promises easily,” Chu Liuchen said serenely.

Qin Wanru pursed up her delicate lips and shook her head without hesitation. “Thank you for your kind intentions, Prince.”

“You really don’t want to be his bride?” Chu Liuchen asked, smiling.
