Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2065: The Mask

Long Rui raised his head and saw Xuexue, a smile appearing on his lips, "Darling, you’re here!"

"Yeah, the steward said the Prince was looking for me; what’s it all about?" Xuexue was quite puzzled, as Long Rui had always worn a mask in the past, but today he took it off. Was he not afraid of being discovered by the Emperor’s spies?

Long Rui stood up, considerately pulling out a chair for Xuexue, "Darling, have a seat."

"Mm!" Xuexue sat down, her eyes never leaving Long Rui.

"Darling, why are you staring at me like that?"

"Prince, you’re not wearing a mask today."

"It’s just the two of us in the study; it doesn’t matter whether I wear it or not. You’ve seen me, haven’t you?" Long Rui looked at Xuexue with a faint smile.

When he used to be silly, she didn’t think he was particularly handsome. But since finding out he’s back to normal, Xuexue realized that Long Rui always manages to catch her attention unknowingly.

It’s not only his looks, perhaps because they’ve spent time together, there’s emotional connection. Whatever they do, there’s always a sense of tacit understanding, as if the two have become one. Sometimes she thinks of something, hasn’t said it yet, and Long Rui has already done it.

Xuexue rested her chin in one hand, smiling warmly at Long Rui, "Prince, you called me over, what’s going on? You didn’t just summon me to admire your looks, did you?"

"I seem to be as handsome as Pan An, why not?"

"Mm, not bad, indeed quite pleasing to the eye. But why do I feel hungry?" Xuexue appeared quite distressed.

"Darling, you just got up and haven’t had breakfast yet, have you?"

"Yeah!"

"What a silly girl, of course you’re hungry if you haven’t had breakfast. Darling, let me take you for something to eat."

Finished speaking, Long Rui stood up, picked up the mask beside him, put it on and then pulled Xuexue along as they left.

Xuexue chattered away as they walked, "Seems even the ancients lied."

"Darling, why would you say that?"

"Right! They always say beauty is food for the eyes, yet I look at the Prince’s absolutely charming face daily and still feel hungry. Alas! Is the Prince’s appearance not handsome enough? No way, I’ll have Zi Xia gather beautiful men for me sometime so I can understand what beauty that fills the belly means."

No sooner had she finished speaking, there came a loud shout from Long Rui, "Don’t you dare."

"Prince, what are you doing? Shouting so loudly, you want to scare me to death?" Xuexue felt her ears buzzing from his roar and kept trying to clear them.

Long Rui looked at Xuexue with jealousy and said, "Darling, if you dare look for handsome men, I’ll kill them one by one, two by two."

Xuexue finally understood that Long Rui was jealous, "Oh! Look at you getting all worked up, I was just saying, indulging myself with words, why are you so tense?"

"Don’t scare me."

"Alright, alright, I won’t say random things anymore."

Hearing this, Long Rui relaxed and reached out to playfully tap Xuexue’s nose, saying affectionately, "Darling, you’re so mischievous. Don’t frighten me with these things again. Do any of those handsome men look better than me? What a little fool."

"Right, they’re all ugly, only my dear Prince is the most handsome, okay?" Xuexue couldn’t help but say loudly.

Seeing how much Long Rui cared about her, Xuexue felt sweet inside.

Not far away, the servants heard Xuexue’s words and found it funny. Madam, in order to please the Prince, has also learned to lie.
