Chapter 39: The Sisters Meet

Seeing Yuan Qian'er and Mo Yiran being led into the backstage by the brothel madam, the people in the pleasure house all thought to themselves: So this Prince is quite a romantic after all, look how impatient they are!

Yet no one dared to voice their thoughts aloud. If Mo Yiran were to find out, he would surely chop them to pieces!

"Wait here for a moment, I'll go fetch her!"

For some unknown reason, Yuan Qian'er was so nervous that she kept gripping Mo Yiran's sleeve tightly, trembling slightly. She was afraid—afraid that person might not be Su Qingcheng.

The two of them had grown up together in an orphanage, relying on each other for survival. They were not only friends but also family. The fact that Su Qingcheng had unhesitatingly followed her across time and space on the day of the transmigration perfectly verified the old saying: it is only in times of crisis that you truly learn who cares about you the most!

Mo Yiran squeezed Yuan Qian'er's hand to signal her to relax, saying, "Don't be nervous. With me here, even if it's not her, I will help you find her!"

Yuan Qian'er cast a grateful glance at Mo Yiran, then resumed peering anxiously toward the entrance.

"Madam, which annoying Prince wants to see me anyway? Couldn't you have turned him down for me? Didn't I tell you I only meet people if a woman is looking for me?!" A voice drifted over from not far away. Upon hearing it, Yuan Qian'er leaped up instantly. It was her; that voice was unmistakable!

"Your Highness, the person has been brought here!" The madam led a young woman into the main hall.

"Qingcheng! Su Qingcheng, it's me! You absolute fool, I've finally found you!" Seeing that the newcomer was indeed Su Qingcheng, Yuan Qian'er cried out immediately.

Su Qingcheng had originally kept her head lowered, in no mood to pay attention to anyone. But hearing someone call her name, she raised her head and, as if seeing a beacon of hope, shouted at the top of her lungs, "Damn Qian'er, you're finally here! What the hell, where on earth did you run off to? Do you have any idea how worried I was about you?! If I hadn't been smart enough to put the word out through the brothel, I still wouldn't be able to see you now!"

"You idiot Qingcheng, do you think I wasn't worried about you? Let me tell you, the situation was so critical back then, why did you follow me over? Is your brain just for decoration?! Do you know that if the old man hadn't held back the spatial vortex, you would have died? Do you even know that?"

"Hey, you ungrateful wretch, I saw you getting sucked in and panicked, so I just followed you, alright? Who could have known it would be a transmigration!"

"Hmph, if you dare pull such a stupid stunt again, I'll beat you to death!"

"Hmph, next time you beg me, I won't even come!"

The two sisters started bickering the moment they met, yet deep down they were overjoyed. Seeing each other safe and sound, the heavy stones in their chests finally settled.

Noticing how familiar they were with each other right off the bat, the madam chimed in, "Well, Your Highness, young master, this young lady still has a performance later. Perhaps you two could go wait out front first?"

"Prince? What Prince?" Su Qingcheng, being the clueless dork she was, hadn't even noticed that another person was sitting in the hall. Following the madam's gaze, her eyes instantly lit up: "Oh my sweet goodness, he's so handsome! Overbearing, cold, cool, and utterly dashing! He's way more handsome than any celebrity in the modern world! Qian'er, who is this? You know him?"

Yuan Qian'er smiled and said, "Qingcheng, this is Mo Yiran, a Prince. I'm currently staying at his estate. Why don't you come back and live at the Prince's residence with us later? Mo Yiran, is that alright?"

Mo Yiran nodded to indicate it was acceptable.

Su Qingcheng extended her hand in a friendly gesture and said, "Hello, handsome! Nice to meet you, and thank you for taking in our resident weirdo, Qian'er!"

Mo Yiran looked puzzled. Seeing this, Yuan Qian'er explained, "This means shaking hands to show friendliness! It's a polite greeting for first-time meetings over on our side."

"Ah, hello. Nice to meet you too!" Upon hearing this, Mo Yiran mimicked Su Qingcheng's gesture, extending his hand to shake hers.
