The Empress Is Gigolo 790 A Strange Sigh

After changing his clothes, he went downstairs and saw Ren Wannian sitting uneasily on the sofa beside the empress, who had just changed her clothes and was eating ice cream.

Even though many years had pa.s.sed… Even though Ren Wannian had experienced many things and met many people, he was always very uncomfortable around his sister-in-law.

The more people he met, which included bureaucrats, entrepreneurs, and tyc.o.o.ns, the more he felt that the empress was different. Not everyone who had power or money was able to cultivate her bearing and dignity.

Ren Baqian gave him a cursory look and noticed that his hair was still neat, stubble was growing on his previously clean shaven chin, and his eyes were a little bloodshot. He appeared to have gone through the vicissitudes of life.

Of course, a man had to undergo a relationship with a woman in order to grow up.

However, Ren Baqian was feeling conflicted… He was hairless and always felt like shaving other people's beards whenever he saw them.

"Have you waited very long?" Ren Baqian sat down on the sofa and asked.

"I expected you to be back these past two days." Even now, Ren Wannian still didn't know where Ren Baqian would go. He didn't know how those two had simply appeared upstairs, even when he had been here the whole time.

Although he was curious, he didn't voice it out.

If they could tell him, they would do so in the future.

"You have come at the right time. We will have dinner together and I will cook," Ren Baqian said cheerfully.

"Okay, I will give you a helping hand," Ren Wannian said.

The two of them discussed in the living room before going to cook in the kitchen while the empress slouched on the sofa and played with her cell phone.

Although the wrist.w.a.tch phone had been around for quite a while and could project in any plane, many people still liked this type of rectangular cell phone.

After all, it was only ten years after 2018.

Just like ten years earlier, some people were still using old phones, and now, there were people using those low-cost brick-like old phones.

Not everyone was able to accept new technology.

The number of trips that the empress took to Earth wasn't many, but she could already be considered pretty good at it.

A moment later, the smile on Ren Wannian's face faded, "I let her go."

"Oh!" Ren Baqian quietly replied. In fact, he didn't care since Zhou Qingyun was just a small fry. Although she was in a relationship with Ren Wannian, she was an insignificant player and didn't merit his attention.

It didn't matter to Ren Baqian whether she was dead or alive.

Last time, after Yang Sen finished talking, Ren Baqian took half a day to recall her name.

He didn't mind the choice that Ren Wannian made. After all, his life was peaceful and he hadn't faced danger. Making this choice was quite reasonable.

Ren Wannian lowered his head after speaking as he waited for the response that didn't come. He continued, "I thought you would scold me."

After thinking carefully, Ren Baqian decided to use this small matter as a learning experience for his younger brother and replied, "People who do big deals do not sweat the small stuff. They make the choice to give up things that they consider unimportant.

Some people place more importance on power and ambition, whereas others use kinship and morality as the baseline. They have their own preferences, and there is no right or wrong way.

The only thing you need to consider is that everything you do has consequences. You must be able to bear these consequences. Do not let your family and friends bear the consequences just because you did the wrong thing."

"Elder brother, thank you. I do understand. She… didn't get much information from me—maybe some unimportant stuff that shouldn't have much impact. That's why I let her go. I know I'm wrong, but she's just an ordinary person. After this incident, she shouldn't have any more opportunities to do these things."

"Those countries and their spies will not waste time on a worthless person. Even if they spend time on her, it will not matter because what she does in the future will have nothing to do with me anymore." From Ren Wannian's expression, it could be seen that after more than half a month, he still hadn't gotten over Zhou Qingyun.

After all, the relationship lasted seven years.

It wasn't that easy to let go.

Ren Baqian waved his hands and said, "You do not need to explain to me as long as you know what you are doing."

Of course, he knew this. The situation had changed over the years. Even the martial arts skills had been publicized, and everyone was cultivating.

As long as it wasn't known that those martial arts skills came from him, other things didn't really matter anymore. Ren Wannian didn't even know this part

"Elder brother, can you let her go?" Ren Wannian looked at him with a pleading expression.

"Haven't you let her go?" Ren Baqian said with a laugh.

"Elder brother, you won't get someone to drown her, will you?" Ren Wannian asked warily. The Ren Baqian from ten years ago wouldn't do such a thing. However, the present one was unfathomable. Just like Zhou Qingyun had said about Ren Wannian, Ren Wannian didn't know what Ren Baqian was doing or thinking.

Ren Baqian inclined his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm a good guy."

Then, he emphasized, "I'm a good man! No doubt about it!"

Although he had killed many people and exterminated a whole clan, this didn't prevent him from being considered a good man.

Ren Wannian viewed the shiny, bald-headed man who had a ferocious look and confirmed that he was a good man despite not looking like one.

However, this matter had nothing to do with whether he was a good person.

"Will the nation take action against her?"

Ren Baqian rested his chin on his hand and looked at Ren Wannian. He didn't know his brother was such a sentimental person.

He hadn't considered what the nation would do, and he didn't care.

"Elder brother, I know you have a lot of influence. Can you ask them to let her go?" Ren Wannian pleaded.

"Do you think I can influence the nation? Where did you get this wrong idea from?" Ren Baqian suddenly looked stern, which startled Ren Wannian.

Ren Baqian could definitely influence people over some small matters, but he didn't want Ren Wannian to have this idea.

"Elder brother, why then did they let us handle this matter?" Ren Wannian again pleaded with him.

"Our family was merely given a favor. There are laws of the nation and rules of the family. The nation will follow its system when dealing with this matter. Don't think that I can influence the nation's system and laws," Ren Baqian said seriously.

He was the typical example of someone who was strict on himself, but lenient toward others.

Ren Wannian agonized over this issue for half a day before clenching his teeth and saying, "Elder brother, I understand."

"Good." Ren Baqian nodded and then laughed, saying, "Don't think too much. You are still quite young and should enjoy life. There are some nice clubs where you can go when you have free time. I will give you a member's card later."

The empress raised her head to look at Ren Baqian, then at Ren Wannian.

She asked, "What's a club? What do they do? Bring me there to take a look!"

Ren Baqian was speechless.

The empress was surprisingly sharp in this regard.

Was it due to women's intuition?

"These are some so-called places where the elites go to have fun," Ren Baqain said without changing his expression. "I have been invited there by some successful people, but I'm not interested. Seeing Wannian's mood, he might as well go there and maybe run into a lady from a respectable family."

Falling in love was hard to say, but having s.e.x was definitely not a problem.

There were things that one might not think of, but there was nothing you couldn't play with.

The clubs were more professional than they were ten years ago as each generation would improve.

The empress looked at Ren Baqian suspiciously, confirmed that he wasn't bluffing her, and carried on playing with her phone.

Ren Baqian gave his dear younger brother a wink.

His mood inexplicably became better. It wasn't because of the clubs! It really wasn't because of the clubs. He had to emphasize this important point.

He was always uncomfortable around the empress, and now, his dear elder brother was having a hard time.

He took out a cigarette and thought about smoking, but remembering that his sister-in-law was beside him, he put it back in the box.

"Where's Lin Qiaole?" The empress suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Lin Qiaole even after being here for so long.

"She should be playing with her friends!" Ren Baqian said casually.

Her present friends included more than just the husky.

All the canine species within two kilometers were her friends.

Ren Baqian was curious to know why this so-called "chinchilla" became the leader of the dogs here.

However, with her skills, it wouldn't be a surprise if she became the leader of the hyenas.

He didn't know why she liked to play with dogs, but not cats.

Initially, he a.s.sumed that she would like cats.

…

After settling Ren Wannian's problem, Ren Baqian didn't ask Yang Sen how he would deal with Zhou Qingyun.

He guessed that Yang Sen would monitor her since he had handed her to Ren Baqian. If she lived a normal life, nothing would happen. If she did something again, her problems had nothing to do with him.

The next day, Ren Baqian was in high spirits as he took the empress shopping for couple's clothes, necklaces, rings, and underwear…

To match the empress, he specially bought a full set of red clothing.

Imagine a strong man, weighing 150 kilograms, bald-headed, hairless, fierce-looking, and wearing all red… What a strange sight. People would make way for them without the empress needing to do anything.

As the empress and Ren Baqian walked together, she was feeling dejected with chains on their necks and rings on their fingers. They looked like a pair of nouveau riche.

Ren Baqian was considered as one, but not the empress. Counting from her grandfather's generation, she was the third generation of the imperial family and had received an imperial education.

This imperial education was basically "the biggest fist is the truth."

On the road leading to Lan City, preparations were being made for the grand wedding to be held in two months.

Along the way, Ren Baqian was in a good mood and wondered whether he should play some pranks on the wedding day.

However, before that, he was wondering whether they should first take a wedding photograph.

When it was time, he would then hang the photograph from the top of Lan City's wall.

It would also be fine if he could hang it at the entrance of the palace.
