Chapter 218: The Good-for-Nothing Prince (2)
Whoosh!
After saying so, the young man reached out to grab Gu Ruoyun, a malicious glint flashing through his eyes. However, the events that followed stunned everyone present.
Just as the young man’s hand was about to touch Gu Ruoyun’s face, the young girl grabbed his leg and lifted him up. With a swoosh, she then threw him out ruthlessly. Did you think it ended just like that? No! After throwing him out, she used her other hand to lift Pang Ran’s 250kg body and tossed him right after the young man.
PFFT!
How could that young man’s slender body hold up under Pang Ran’s weight? He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood after getting squashed. His head drooped to the side as he fainted away.
Everyone was rooted to the spot in shock! It was still within reason that she could lift the young man, but look at how heavy Pang Ran was! This seemingly weak girl had just used one hand to lift him up?
Did this girl have superhuman strength? How could a tiny body like hers contain such crazy power!?
“Are you alright?”
Gu Ruoyun dusted off her hands and walked to Pang Ran’s side. She extended a hand and smiled: “I’m sorry for what happened just now. I was thinking too hard and didn’t notice your approach, so I accidentally hit you away. I’m apologising for my actions back then.”
No matter what, Gu Ruoyun wasn’t an unreasonable person. Although this matter had started because the fatty hadn’t been paying attention to where he was going, she was still at fault. She ought to apologise for her actions.
“This…” Pang Ran rubbed the back of his head and said, “If you want to apologise, then treat me to a meal. If you treat me, I’ll forgive you.”
“Alright, what do you want to eat?”
“Meat!” Pang Ran looked up with sparkles in his eyes. “I. Want. To. Eat. Meat!!”
……
In a restaurant, at a table piled high with scraps.
Gu Ruoyun watched Pang Ran gobble up everything on the table with sweatdrops on her head. How long had it been since his last meal? How could he actually be this hungry?
“Ooh, delicious, I haven’t had meat for so long. That kind of life isn’t something a human should go through!”
Pang Ran had pig trotters in one hand and chicken legs in the other, while his mouth was stuffed with simmered pork. He had an expression full of bliss and satisfaction, as if he had never eaten meat in his entire life before today.
The corner of Gu Ruoyun’s mouth twitched and she placed a hand on her forehead: “You’re a prince of Black Tortoise Country at the very least; how is it that you can’t even afford to eat meat?”
Gulp!
Pang Ran swallowed all the food in his mouth before saying: “Goddess, you should be able to tell by now. I, Pang Ran, am a complete good-for-nothing!”
Gu Ruoyun had indeed seen that this fatty was a good-for-nothing, but she hadn’t expected him to call himself one.
“So?”
Gu Ruoyun raised an eyebrow and asked.
“So what?” Pang Ran rolled his eyes and continued speaking, “So everyone just looks down upon me. But my mother, the empress, is my father’s most beloved woman, and I’m the empress’s only son. However, because I’m a complete good-for-nothing and can’t succeed the imperial throne, my father felt guilty towards me and gave me a lot of money to spend. I don’t have to cultivate, I don’t like prostitutes, and I don’t like gambling, so I spent all my money on eating. So what happened in the end, was that I became like this.”
Pang Ran blinked a few times. While he was talking, he had a relaxed expression on his face, as if he wasn’t the same good-for-nothing that everyone looked down upon.
“When I became like this, Father finally regretted it and restricted my allowance. He even prohibited me from eating meat! He wants to force me to lose weight! The imperial family was already complicated to begin with. Many people considered me an eyesore because of the affection my father has for my mother. When Father isn’t looking, they take the chance to send people after me to beat me up. But that really did have an effect. After getting beaten up lots of times, I lost an entire 35 kilograms. Do you know how much 35 kilograms is!? When Father found out what happened, in order to make me lose more weight, he just closed an eye to it. He’ll let them do as they like as long as they don’t kill me!”
TL Note: 35kg = ~77 pounds. Poor Pang Ran >w<;;
