Chapter 158: Who Said This Prince Needs Her Company?

However, in the hearts of Baili Gang, Baili Guishan, Baili Jin, and Qian Yueshuang, it was as if a bomb had been dropped, stirring up a tumultuous wave.

Goodness!

The Ninth Prince's attitude was so amiable!

If these people had known how Nalan Dijiu pampered Baili Tianchang, they would have understood that these brief four words meant absolutely nothing at all!

Yet, having the privilege to finally meet Nalan Dijiu, to see him just once and exchange a single word with him, was already enough for them to consider themselves fortunate for three lifetimes.

Now, Baili Jin had actually received a "No need for formalities" from Nalan Dijiu, which undoubtedly excited them to the point of forgetting their own names.

"Right, right. What the Ninth Prince says is true. Jin, since you are so familiar with the Ninth Prince, there is indeed no need for formalities."

Baili Gang finally snapped out of his ecstatic trance after a moment, and he spoke with a broad smile.

"Jin, the Ninth Prince has been waiting for you for quite a while; you must properly accompany him. You silly girl, why haven't you quickly taken a seat beside the Ninth Prince? Keep him company with some tea and conversation?"

Qian Yueshuang also wore a face full of smiles.

As she said this to Baili Jin, she secretly exchanged a meaningful glance with her.

This glance was meant to hint at Baili Jin to quickly seize this rare opportunity to fawn over and curry favor with the Ninth Prince.

Men, after all, needed to be coaxed.

Even though the Ninth Prince had personally come here just to see her daughter Baili Jin, if Baili Jin failed to use her charms, with so many women in the world, she feared their relationship wouldn't last!

When Baili Jin caught Qian Yueshuang's wink, she understood her intention immediately.

Thus, swaying her delicate body like a willow in the wind with a light, fluttering gait, she edged closer toward Nalan Dijiu.

By this time, a tactful maid had already brought a chair over and placed it beside Nalan Dijiu.

Exhibiting the utmost shyness yet wearing a seductive smile, Baili Jin cast a gentle gaze toward Nalan Dijiu.

This was the first time Baili Jin was looking at Nalan Dijiu up close.

One look was all it took for her heart to threaten to leap right out of her chest.

What an extraordinarily handsome man!

What a commanding and awe-inspiring man!

In the past, when she could not see the Ninth Prince, merely hearing his name had been enough to make Baili Jin dare not hope of ever being with such a man in this lifetime.

At this very moment, everything felt like a dream.

She was finally able to gaze upon Nalan Dijiu's true face, and she fell deeply in love at first sight; her entire heart felt as though it had been glued straight onto Nalan Dijiu.

She finally walked before Nalan Dijiu with an air of allure, intending to sit on the chair the maid had brought over.

However, just as her body was hovering between sitting and standing, Nalan Dijiu spoke.

"Who said this Prince needs her company?"

"Ah?"

Hearing Nalan Dijiu's words, Baili Jin was so startled that she instantly dared not sit down.

At that moment, sitting down felt wrong, and standing up felt wrong. She froze in extreme awkwardness, utterly at a loss for how to react.

Instead, Qian Yueshuang immediately displayed her shrewd nature, saying with a joyous smile, "It was our oversight to have Jin accompany the Ninth Prince. Since Jin and the Ninth Prince have not yet formalized their status, she indeed ought not to sit so casually with the Ninth Prince."
