I Reincarnated As The Richest Guy

I will only marry once I get rich

"Huh??"the men uttered in confusion.

He blinked rapidly when he realized what he just said.

"Never mind. Let's go."he cleared his throat and they all moved out.

They got in front of the dining area where the emperor and some other two people were.

The men behind him stood there while he goes in.

"Oh,he is here."The emperor chuckled as soon as he saw him.

"Quan,come on. Why are you so late?. This is your first."

Laquan's eyes popped out of their sockets.

"You recognize me?"he questioned,bewildered.

The emperor offered the Jones's family a jumpy smile before looking back at him.

"Why won't I recognize you?. Take your seat."

Laquan staggered to a seat and sat down.

The emperor looked at him, wondering what was wrong.

His son has always been a composed prince.

Something must have happened.

Or, perhaps,he is sick?.

"Hi,prince Quan."the daughter of the Jones's family,Ava,grinned at him.

He looked at her and scoffs.

She is not close a beauty to Britney; A girl that works in the same company with him.

Ava looked down, embarrassedly.

The emperor frowned.

"Quan,pay respect to your elders."

"Good morning,elders."he scowled.

"Good morning to you too, prince Laquan."Mr Jones replied with a big smile.

"You know me too?"he asked.

"I don't quite understand..you.."Mr Jones drawled and casted a look at the emperor.

"Of course,who do not know the magnanimous crown prince?"Mrs Jones chipped in.

Quan took his lips in and nodded.

He now understand.

He and this man bear the same name.

"I'm flattered,Mrs Jones."he bowed gently.

The emperor gave a satisfactory nod.

"I will be quick with it,since you seem to have another meeting after this. This is Jones,the son of the friend of the former emperor. There was a decree asking you and his daughter to get married. We thought that since you both are now grown up,you should both fulfill the wishes of your former elders."

Laquan nodded slowly while Ava blushed.

"I appreciate your thoughts,Father."he started.

He stared at Ava beside him.

"Mr Jones, Mrs Jones, you've raised a good daughter. She is beautiful and well - mannered. She is every men's typical woman. She will make a good wife."he gave a subtle smile.

Both the Jones and the Emperor look impressed.

"But, I'm sorry. I don't think I am ready for marriage now. Besides,I don't think I'm more qualify to get married to this great woman here."

The smile on their faces closed up.

"Who else can be more qualified than you,Your Highness?"Mr Jones persists.

"Quan!"the emperor's face contorted in a deep frown.

"What's the reason you don't wanna get married now?"

"I am sorry,father, Mr and Mrs Jones,and miss Jones."he stood up and bowed.

"Quan! I demand an answer from you."

"Your Majesty,I will only get married once I've become rich."he uttered, politely.

Even the eunuch who has been behind the emperor with his head bowed, gazed up at him.

They all stared at him as if he's gone nuts.

"Once you become rich?"the emperor scoffed.

"Yes,your majesty. I would only like to get married during that time. I.."he paused,the gibberish he was yapping finally dawning on him.

Damn!

He has forgot he is now in a crown prince's body.

His eyes twinkled and he cleared his throat.

"I..I would like to take my leave now."he hurriedly excused himself and left the room.

When he got out,he met the previous men there.

He sighed and pinched his fingers.

He almost ruined everything.

How exactly did his soul jump into this man's body?

"I can't believe the rumors are true. The crown prince is indeed a playboy."he heard Mr Jones said back inside the room.

Playboy?

He examined his body and chuckled.

He is well built and beautiful. The tendency of him being one is high.

"Your highness,where are you going now?"

"To my room,of course."Laquan retorted with a frown.

"But,you promised to give a speech to the scholars today. His Majesty tried to discourage you of taking that today because of the important meeting with the Jones but you didn't sway in your decision."

"Thanks for explaining. Cancel the meeting with the scholars. I would like to go take a breather in my room."Quan replied.

"I'm afraid we cannot do that,Your Highness. Should news about that spread around,it wouldn't do your image any good. Many scholars from near and faraway cities are present."he bowed.

Laquan stared at the three of them and sighed.

"Where are we, exactly?"

"What do you mean,Your Highness. We are in the pal.. "

"No,not that. What's the name of the city we are in,in which country?. Are we still in Louisville?"

The men exchanged glances.

"We are in Edinburgh,Your Highness."

"In which country?. You just said Edinburgh, without specifying if it's a city or country."he rasped.

"It's Edinburgh in Britain. Would your Highness permit me to go get the Royal physician before you start the meeting with the scholars?"another spoke.

Laquan scoffed.

"Are you indirectly telling me I've gone insane?."

"No, Your Highness. I was just worried about your well - being."

"I want only one of you with me. You! Lead the way to the meeting."he pointed at the youngest one among them.

He looks flustered as he pointed to himself just to be sure.

"Me,Your Highness?"

"Shall I have the physical fix your ears for you?"Quan frowned and staggered back again.

He seems to be still affected by the drinks he had the other night.

And,to think he didn't had a proper hangover because he had to get up earlier that day.

His head is banging hot right now.

He was led to the hall where all the scholars were gathered.

"Greetings,Your Highness."They all stood up and greeted as he made an entrance.

"A beautiful morning to you all."he climbed up the podium and went to stand behind the podium.

They all sat down and he grinned.

"My name is Laquan, your favorite crown prince. Some call me a playboy bu,hahaha."he whooped up in laughter.

The men maintained stern looks.

Laquan blinked in embarrassment.

He cleared his throat and squinted his eyes, feeling an intense pain in his head.
