Chapter 198: Roses Delivered to Seal Palace

Editor: Atlas Studios

Nightmare? Maybe it was considered a nightmare to her in the past. But now, she was the nightmare for others.

Gu Mang looked down, sat up expressionlessly, her feet on the carpet as she ran her fingers through her hair.

After a few seconds, she said, "I’m sleepy."

Her voice was soft and raspy.

The frostiness in her eyes was hidden away behind her eyelids and what was left was only an aloof pretty face.

Lu Chengzhou hadn’t seen this side of Gu Mang before. She seemed to be in a place of darkness, resisting all light as she exuded a dark aura.

There was a bloodthirstiness raging in her body.

He looked at her and said softly, "Go and eat first and then sleep afterward."

His voice was gentle and pleasant. Gu Mang glanced at him and grunted softly in assent.

He pulled her to her feet and they walked towards the dining room.

Seeing their hands together, she pursed her lips. "Lu Chengzhou, actually..."

"Actually, you don’t have to say anything if you don’t want to." Lu Chengzhou interrupted her. "Eat your meal first."

He wasn’t surprised by the sudden change in her mood.

He took her to the kitchen sink and gestured with his chin. "Wash your hands."

Gu Mang was silent for a moment before mumbling, "Okay."

She opened the tap and rinsed her hands. She watched as Lu Chengzhou walked to the front of the small pot to serve congee for the two of them.

After washing her hands, Gu Mang sat at the dining table, propped up her chin, and turned to look at him in the kitchen.

After a while, Lu Chengzhou went to sit across from her after serving the two bowls of congee. "Eat up."

"Okay." She drawled her reply in her usual languid manner. Her left hand supported her face as she picked up the spoon slowly.

There was a courier standing outside, holding a large bouquet of glistening roses.

"Are you Ms. Gu Mang?" the courier asked with a smile.

Gu Mang glanced at the rose in his hand, her eyes narrowed, as she gave an ambiguous smile. "That’s me."

The bouquet was pretty big. The courier was having some trouble holding it as he fumbled with the delivery note. "Hello, Ms. Gu, this is a flower and gift for you, please sign."

Gu Mang took it and signed. "Very fast," she said without context.

But the courier understood, smiled, and said honestly, "Everything is fast when the price is right."

The flowers and gifts were ordered by Lu Chengzhou who had paid five times the price to get them delivered to Seal Palace within an hour.

Gu Mang raised her eyebrows and returned the delivery note to him. "You can keep the flowers. Give them to your girlfriend. Selling the gift would be enough for you to get a suite in the city center." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

That person had always been very generous. The courier was taken aback. He watched Gu Mang wave at him without a care as she closed the door in front of him. He batted his eyes, totally confused as to what happened.
