Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2040: Osmanthus Cake

Xuexue: "Yes, but Celestial Master Zhang has disappeared."

Long Rui: "If he’s disappeared, he’s disappeared. Why are they looking for you?"

"Exactly! That’s why I’m really upset."

"And then? Dear, what did you do?"

"There’s a culprit behind every injustice and a debtor for every debt. I sent Lady Zhang to find the culprit."

"Who?"

"Lin Kong! He sent Lady Zhang to bother me, so I sent her to bother him. It’s called turning their methods against themselves." Xuexue proudly asked, "Prince, did I do the right thing?"

Long Rui nodded appreciatively and smiled, "You did the right thing, my dear. How can my woman be bullied so casually by others? Just sending Lady Zhang to make trouble for him, I feel, is not harsh enough."

"Prince, what else do you want to do?"

"Tonight, I’ll send someone to trouble him."

"Let’s not do that, okay? Lin Kong’s martial arts skills are very high. Your men aren’t even worthy to fill the gaps between his teeth! It’s better not to make unnecessary sacrifices." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Dear, don’t boost others’ morale and diminish your own confidence."

"You saw that day; his skills, in the entire Capital, besides you, I fear no one could be his match." Thinking of this gave Xuexue a headache; in her previous life, there had never been anyone as formidable as Lin Kong.

Moreover, his identity is actually the master of Celestial Master Zhang, so he is certainly an enemy, not a friend. As long as they don’t know that the Thousand Year Striped Tiger is on her, she should deal with Lin Kong, and ideally, cause discord between him and Celestial Master Zhang, so they won’t team up against her in the future.

This is also why she sent Lady Zhang to trouble Lin Kong.

She hopes Lady Zhang will get caught between Celestial Master Zhang and Lin Kong, disrupting their relationship, making future matters easier to handle.

Hearing this, Long Rui nodded, saying, "Lin Kong indeed has real abilities.

That day, in a moment of urgency, Long Rui took a hit from him, and being momentarily overconfident, was struck by Lin Kong, causing his blood to churn. If it weren’t for his profound inner strength, his heart and veins would have been shattered."

Xuexue: "Keeping him around is a hazard. If there’s a chance, think of a way to get rid of him."

Long Rui understood Xuexue’s concerns very well. She has the Thousand Year Striped Tiger and Xiao Taohong with her, and Celestial Master Zhang and Lin Kong are their natural enemies, their existence posing a danger to Little Tiger and Xiao Taohong.

Long Rui comfortingly patted her shoulder, saying, "Dear, don’t worry, if there’s a chance, I’ll take care of him."

Xuexue nodded, "Mm."

Long Rui picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a piece of cake for her, placing it in the small bowl in front of her, saying, "Dear, don’t think too much, let’s eat."

"Okay!"

"This is Osmanthus Cake, freshly made. I know you love it, so I specially instructed the steward to make it overnight yesterday for you to taste."

"Oh! Sure thing!" Xuexue picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of the cake, a floral fragrance wafting through, truly refreshing and delicious, with a floral aroma too. Her mood brightened immediately. She couldn’t help but exclaim with delight, "Oh! So fragrant, so sweet!"

Long Rui looked at her indulgently, eyes filled with gentle affection, and asked in a low voice, "Is it good?"

"Delicious!"

"Then have some more!" With that, Long Rui helped her with another few pieces.

"Don’t just look after me, you eat some too!" Xuexue’s heart felt sweet and satisfied, having a man who loves her so much.

"Alright!"

Long Rui laughed and also took a big bite, saying, "Since you love it, dear, I’ll have the steward make different flavors every day for you."

Xuexue smiled and nodded, "Okay."
