Wang Ya left the Luo Mansion disappointed.
His original intention in seeking out Chen Mo was to have Chen Mo revoke the arrangements for the lower-level officials in Celestial River City, but Chen Mo refused, leaving Wang Ya unhappy as he departed.
After Wang Ya left, Luo Zhen also approached Chen Mo, and with a gentle pull from Chen Mo, she fell into his arms.
"Doesn't he know what he's made of? And yet he wants to negotiate with me."
Gently lifting Luo Zhen's chin, Chen Mo began to savor her fragrant lips.
A moment later, Luo Zhen was limp in Chen Mo's arms, her clothes half-undone, and the perfect-sized courage fell into Chen Mo's hand to be played with as he said:
"My lord, he is, after all, an official sent by the Imperial Court. If you don't give him face, what if he reports you to the Imperial Court?"
"That still depends on whether his report can make it out of Celestial River City."
