Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1769: Warning
"How come? You seem dissatisfied with your lady?"
"I wouldn’t dare!" The Prince had just warned her, even if given ten water jars, Zi Xia still wouldn’t dare.
"You sound like a scorned woman, what’s the matter? Feeling aggrieved?"
"It’s nothing, but Guard Long is quite pitiful." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"What’s wrong with him?"
Zi Xia gave a furtive glance to the inside of the inn and whispered, "Ever since the eldest miss went out this afternoon, the Prince has been sulking in the room for the entire afternoon without even drinking a sip of water. Guard Long was the same, seemingly too afraid to move unless the Prince did. It’s really a sad sight."
"Are you feeling sorry now?"
"Miss, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zi Xia’s face flushed.
"You’re from the Itinerant World, clearly like Guard Long but never admit it."
Zi Xia squirmed a bit and whispered, "I’m a maiden, talking about matters between men and women makes me shy. What’s it got to do with the Itinerant World?"
"Of course it has something to do with it. Aren’t people from the Itinerant World quite straightforward?"
"With other things maybe, but when it comes to matters between men and women, I can’t be straightforward."
All right, stuck in her ways, doesn’t make sense. Xuexue didn’t bother further.
She turned and strode into the inn.
Zi Xia, with packages in hand, followed behind.
The elegant room on the second floor.
The door was slightly ajar, Xuexue tiptoed and crept closer.
Zi Xia watched from behind, speechless, thinking if Miss Xuexue was truly that afraid of the Prince, she shouldn’t have been so bold as to actually kick the Prince in his vital parts this afternoon. No wonder the Prince was so angry. She wasn’t even worried about him not having any heirs and had no idea what Miss Xuexue was thinking?
The slight rustling outside had long captured Long Rui’s attention; his previously darkened face now surprisingly showed a hint of a smile.
Long Yi wondered if the Master had been angered into foolishness, sitting idly in the room all afternoon, and now, for some reason, he was actually smiling. He must have been driven silly by the Madam.
"Squeak...!"
The door gently creaked.
Following that, Xuexue’s sneaky head peeked in, glancing around the room...
Finally, Long Yi understood why the Master was acting strange, turns out the Madam had returned, he couldn’t help but disdainfully think: The Master truly lacked spine, sulking all afternoon and now, with Madam just back without saying a word, his anger dissipated.
"Cough cough...! Husband, look, I specially went to get you something delicious!" Xuexue wore a fawning smile while swaying the food box in her hand as she spoke.
Specially went to buy?
Spent an entire afternoon?
Bought so many packages back, clearly went shopping in plenty of stores to get so much.
Zi Xia and Long Yi obviously didn’t believe it.
But someone did believe.
Long Rui’s face flashed a smile: "Really?"
Long Yi cried out in his mind: Unbelievable, unbelievable, Zi Xia holding that many things, Madam was obviously lying.
Xuexue earnestly said: "Of course it’s true. Knowing you love The First Tower Under Heaven’s food, I waited there specifically all afternoon to bring back these dishes."
Long Rui smiled contentedly: "My dear wife is wonderful."
Seeing Long Rui unangered, Xuexue eagerly ran over, placed the food box on the table, then opened the lid, arranging the food one by one.
Instantly, the room was filled with mouth-watering aroma.
At this point of the Shichen, it was already past dinner time, and Long Rui’s stomach was growling with hunger, smelling this inviting aroma made it even more tempting.
