Chapter 409
409 – Refusal
It was unclear what Fanny’s thoughts were as for the first time, she was so spontaneous and so passionate. Both her kisses and actions were incomparably bold and unrestrained.
At this moment, Han Shuo was unexpectedly the passive receiver. Fanny’s previous words contained a sea of deep emotions, brought about an enormous shock to Han Shuo, causing him to feel extremely guilty toward Fanny.
When the two of them kissed, Han Shuo who had always been the aggressor in the past instead wasn’t that overbearing.
“Oh… Bryan…” Fanny’s loveable appearance was bright red and contained shyness as she moaned softly. Han Shuo’s outer clothing had unconsciously been taken off by Fanny.
Han Shuo’s naked upper body was extremely robust, each inch of muscle seemed to be brimming with explosive force. When Fanny became out of breath, her fragrant lips left Han Shuo’s as she took deep breaths. As she gazed at Han Shuo’s chiseled body, her eyes were brimming with dense amorous feelings.
“Do… Do me now…” There was a mouse-like squeak. Fanny blushed as she buried her head in Han Shuo’s chest, inhaling the rich manly scent from Han Shuo’s body. She simply felt that her heart was in a mess and was able to clearly hear her own heart beating.
“We can’t!” Han Shuo smiled bitterly as he refused.
Fanny lost her head out of fear, suddenly lifting her head to stare at Han Shuo. Her blushing expression was clearly filled with sorrow and puzzlement, her eyes brimming with doubt and panic.
“Umm… Teacher Gene is coming over and it’s presently daytime. You still need to go teach a class later! How about, at night?” Han Shuo smiled bitterly, scratching his head as he spoke softly to Fanny.
“Hehe, that must be a misunderstanding. That matter had happened so long ago that I almost forgot about it. There’s nothing much to discuss.” Han Shuo squinted his eyes, playing down the issue. Shortly after, he smiled as he looked at Ashburn and Charles while asking, “May I know, are there any other matters causing Lord Duke and His Highness to visit?”
“The development of Brettel City has been the most inspirational news in recent days. The city lord of Seamist City which neighbors Brettel City, Kairov, has extremely close relations with me. Hehe, if Brettel City and Seamist City are able to work closely together, the development in all areas would be even faster.
My visit today is precisely to discuss with Marquis Bryan the aid that Seamist City can provide Brettel City, such as manpower and resources that Brettel City needs urgently.” Eldest Prince Charles smiled as he looked at Han Shuo, slowly explaining his proposal.
Seamist City City Lord Kairov was a member of the Haug Family, his sister Kalina was Eldest Prince Charles’ wife. His relationship with Charles was naturally extremely intimate. The distance between Seamist City and Brettel City isn’t very far. If Seamist City was able to provide some effective help, it would naturally be extremely beneficial to Brettel City’s development. This was something Han Shuo was aware of.
“In that case, what does Brettel City have to invest on their part?” Han Shuo remained calm and collected as he inquired.
“There’s no need for any investment. As long as I’m able to gain Marquis Bryan’s friendship, I would be satisfied.” Charles’s scorching gaze was fixed on Han Shuo as he replied.
Grand Duke Ashburn smiled as he looked at Han Shuo. He pondered for a moment before saying, “Marquis Bryan, to be frank, I admire you greatly. If you don’t mind, we can discuss in depth on the possibility of many collaborations. The power and benefit we are able to provide you far surpasses what others can give you. As long as you work together with us, power, wealth, women are all easily obtained.”
Han Shuo chuckled as he looked at the two of them, firmly shaking his head under their expectant gazes and said, “I’m sorry, I’m a person who cherishes old friendships and also know to return the favor of others. Both of you should understand what I mean!”
Hearing Han Shuo’s response, Eldest Prince Charles’ expression sank. Just as he wanted to speak out, Ashburn glared at him. Soon after, Ashburn smiled and said, “So that is the case. I understand. Since that is the case, we’ll take our leave. We apologize for brazenly disturbing. Hope you can forgive us.”
After he was stared at by Ashburn, Charles did not suddenly forget himself. Merely, his calm gaze toward Han Shuo had an added resentment, as if angry at Han Shuo’s rejection and failing to appreciate his kindness.
“In that case, I won’t see you out.” Han Shuo looked astonishedly at Grand Duke Ashburn. He didn’t expect that Ashburn would actually be that direct, not dragging on the situation the slightest once he understood that there was no hope.
“Marquis Bryan, do take care of yourself!” Before Charles left, he suddenly turned back to look at Han Shuo, implying a hidden intention within his words.
“I thank Eldest Prince for his reminder, I will be careful.” Han Shuo expression suddenly turned cold, replying sarcastically.
Han Shuo could clearly hear the threat within Charles’ tone. He knew that after today, there was no chance of being friends with Charles and Ashburn and could only be enemies till one side is dead.
