To Hold One's Joy Chapter 40-2

 Chapter 40-2: Confrontation

Luo Sheng's unexpected action visibly surprised Wei Han, causing a subtle shift in his indifferent expression.

Seeing this, Luo Sheng sneered inwardly. Did he think she would feel guilty and hold on to this dagger? She offered the dagger as the other party wished, and she wanted to see what other reason the other party could come up with.

Realizing that there was a high probability that Wei Han might recognize her, Luo Sheng decided to remain calm. The night of their encounter had been dark, and she had not revealed her identity. Additionally, there was no name engraved on the dagger. If she refused to admit it, what could he do anyway?

Indeed, Kaiyang Wang held a high and influential position, but Luo Sheng's father was also a powerful figure. Kaiyang Wang couldn't simply abduct her and use torture to question her. At this moment, Luo Sheng couldn't help but feel relieved that she had been reborn as the daughter of Commander Luo. Miss Luo's background gave her some protection and leverage, ensuring she wouldn't be disadvantaged at every turn.

As Wei Han stared at the jewel-encrusted dagger, he took it from the girl's hands while she maintained a slightly mocking smile. At that moment, he finally realized that the girl standing before him was not simple. The girl standing before him now was much more challenging to deal with than when she had taken off his belt on the streets of the Capital.

Back then, he had merely regarded her as a shameless and audacious girl. After the initial surge of anger and shock passed, he didn't dwell on the incident. It wasn't worth it.

When Commander Luo sent his daughter away from the Capital and paid a visit to make amends, it had not caused any turmoil in his heart. But the girl standing before him now exuded a completely different aura.

She is composed, calm, and remarkably quick-witted.

The glimpse of those star-like radiant eyes from that night had left a lasting impression on Wei Han. Despite not seeing the woman's face, he was certain the girl standing before him now owned those captivating eyes.

He is confident in his deduction, but now, he, who should have the initiative to control the situation, is stuck in a difficult situation.

The damned dagger was studded with precious stones, undoubtedly of great value, and he didn't have that much money on hand! How did he end up in a situation where he needed to pay for the dagger?

Wei Han fell into deep thought. It seems that he had proposed the idea himself—

Before he could contemplate further, Luo Sheng interrupted, "It's an honor for this dagger to be favored by Wangye. I won't charge much. Just three thousand taels of silver will suffice."

"Cough, cough—" The guard next to Wei Han coughed violently, casting worried glances at his Master. Master didn't even have three hundred taels of silver on him!

Thinking about how embarrassing it would be for his Master to bargain, the guard cleared his throat and prepared to help. However, the little maid accompanying Miss Luo intervened, pouting as she remarked, "Three thousand taels? Miss, you are practically giving away the dagger!"

The guard immediately silenced himself. Come on, Miss Luo was essentially offering the dagger as a gift. What else could he say? He is also a person who knows shame.

"Don't talk too much." Luo Sheng glanced at Hongdou, then smiled slightly at Wei Han, "Wangye, there's no need to feel embarrassed. As I said, it's an honor for this dagger to be favored by you, and the price doesn't matter."

Wei Han gazed into those smiling eyes and finally sighed softly, "Miss Luo is right. Money means nothing to both of us, and it's my fault to try to purchase this dagger with money. How about we make a different arrangement? In the future, if Miss Luo ever needs my help, I will gladly offer my assistance with anything within my ability. What do you think of this deal?"

Luo Sheng stared at Wei Han for a while, her smile deepening, "Wangye, with your power and influence that can move mountains and seas, exchanging my dagger for a favor from you is undoubtedly a gain for me. I'll thank you in advance, and when I need your help in the future, I'll be sure to seek your assistance."

Unexpectedly, the famous Kaiyang Wang was short of money.

THOJ Chapter 1

 TO HOLD'S ONE JOY  Chapter 1: Devil Incarnate Luo Sheng gazed at the engraved silver incense ball beneath the emerald green curtain. Her eyes, which before had been full of vigor, seemed a little dull now, and the chattering of the little maid in her ears became louder as a result. "Miss, isn't it just a Su Er Gongzi [1] ? If you like him, you could capture him directly, but hanging yourself for him is not worth it, hu hu hu..." Luo Sheng shifted her gaze to the little maid who was crying at the bedside. This little maid's name is Hongdou (red bean), and she can speak and cry at the same time. It's been three days since she heard Hongdou's chatters, and she's gained a general understanding of her situation. Her present body, Luo Sheng, is the daughter of the powerful Commander Luo, the chief commander of Jinlin Guards. She was sent to her maternal ancestral home in Jinsha County, the Sheng family's mansion, where she currently resides, after getti...

To Hold One's Joy Chapter 57-1

 Chapter 57-1: Divine Doctor's Visit The echo of footsteps resonated as an elderly man emerged from behind the screen, causing Luo Sheng's eyelashes to quiver. In comparison to a decade ago, Divine Doctor Li had scarcely changed. His hair remained silver without a hint of other colors, and his eyes shone with more vitality than those of young people. Time seems to have forgotten this old man, leaving his unaltered appearance to evoke a sense of familiarity in Luo Sheng. However, the same couldn't be said for Divine Doctor Li. He stared at the unfamiliar young girl before him with a grim expression and addressed her sternly, "Where's the Yangyuan Pill?" Luo Sheng handed him a small box. Upon opening it and seeing the pills inside, Divine Doctor Li's eyes shrank. He brought the box close to his nose, took a sniff, and his expression soured. "Where did you get this pill?" he asked. Luo Sheng blinked. Her bright eyes showed surprise. "Yo...

To Hold One's Joy Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Kaiyang Wang's Greetings Luo Sheng returned to the Luo Mansion and went straight to her room, never stepping outside again. Si Nan had been freed, but it left her feeling burdened. After all, her heart wasn't made of iron. Pingli was furious upon learning that Luo Sheng had killed Si Nan. "Didn't Fifth Brother accompany Third Miss? Why did you allow her to lay her hands on the criminal?" he demanded of Yundong. "Third Miss said that she wanted to speak privately with Si Nan... I'm sorry, Eldest Brother, I didn't anticipate that Third Miss would take such action," Yundong apologized, though his heart harbored no remorse. The man was killed in Jinlin Guards Prison, so the news would remain suppressed unless Pingli chose to disclose it. Pingli might have considered leaking the information if Godfather had not regained consciousness. However, now that Godfather was awake, he didn't think Pingli dared to do so. Pingli obviously also un...
