Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1555 - 349, Tall Person (Second Update)_2

There are countless pearls in the world, and the most common ones are the white pearls with luminescent glow. Even rarer are the slightly pink-tinged pink pearls, and naturally, the rarest of them all are the black pearls with their sheer transparency and distinctive luster.

A single black pearl is already hard to come by, let alone so many of a similar size. That these rare black pearls are actually used to decorate the soles of shoes, and yet still evoke a feeling of mysterious allure and a proud, profound aloofness—Crown Prince of Xiliang truly knows how to indulge in luxury.

Lin Yuan narrowed her eyes excitedly and sighed inwardly, thinking that such a foolish and wealthy individual was just begging to be taken advantage of. Who else should be conned if not him?

If Su Tianrui was merely startled upon seeing that tall headless figure earlier, then upon laying eyes on this extravagantly adorned He Lienuo, he was utterly astonished!

"Heh, you’ve got it all wrong. I just covered her ears because I didn’t want your grating voice to pollute her delicate, pretty little ears. There’s nothing resembling jealousy or sour grapes about it."

Xia Zheng had always been blunt when speaking, especially towards someone whose voice was more pleasant than his own, and who had happened to hijack half a cartful of Glaze from him along the way—his irritation was all the more intense.

But Xia Zheng was not one to easily let others off the hook when he spoke.

He arched an eyebrow, glancing at He Lienuo who stood hesitantly at the door without entering. The corners of Xia Zheng’s lips inadvertently curled into a smile, his voice tinged with unmistakable mockery and smugness.

"Ha! There’s a rumor that Young Master Helian is as timid as a mouse, extraordinarily cowardly, always with a guard by his side when venturing out. He even fears entering someone else’s room. Today, tsk tsk, it seems that not all rumors are unfounded after all!"

Pfft!

The first to erupt into laughter was Su Tianrui, who had been in shock with his mouth agape. However, the moment he laughed with his mouth still open, the sound that emerged was indeed quite bizarre.

Lin Yuan pursed her lips and wrinkled her nose, subconsciously touching the slightly itchy tip of her nose with her finger.

Su Tianrui also realized that the sound he had just laughed out sounded a bit like a fart, and his face immediately turned embarrassedly red and then pale, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

However, the most embarrassed person at this moment should be He Lienuo at the entrance. He was only being cautious, yet was portrayed by Xia Zheng as someone cowardly and timid as a mouse—it was downright bullying!

Nonetheless, arguments are powerless in the face of facts; the most convincing rebuttal is action.

He Lienuo, frowning tightly, hummed and laughed after receiving a message from the big fellow behind him, and then stepped into the room with his boots, which were embedded with a row of black pearls.

"It is widely heard that Second Young Master Xia is eloquent. Witnessing it today, it seems that the rumors are indeed apt!"

He Lienuo, fanning himself with the Ink jade bone fan, took a seat by the table, all the while arching his brow and squeezing in a jibe at Xia Zheng.

The phrase ’eloquent’ was typically used to describe ladies; with He Lienuo using it to refer to Xia Zheng, was he insinuating that Xia Zheng had feminine traits?

Xia Zheng chuckled, not taking the other man’s sarcasm to heart, and flaunted by proudly waving the hand he held Lin Yuan’s with in front of him.

"It’s really not up to Young Master Helian to worry about my reputation. My Madam will be the judge of it. As for you, Young Master Helian, I’ve heard you’re not fond of female company—tsk tsk, you’re already twenty and still haven’t found a woman who catches your eye. It’s even necessary to bother your Young Imperial Uncle to search high and low for beautiful ladies for you. One really wonders whether it’s you we should be worried about, or your aging Emperor Xiliang of a father."

With this remark, Xia Zheng divulged a wealth of information, not least exposing He Lienuo’s identity as the Crown Prince.

Su Tianrui, who had been looking at the pearls on He Lienuo’s boots, suddenly lifted his head, his eyes widened to the point where they looked like they could fit an egg in his stretched-open mouth!

Lin Yuan also raised her eyebrows with interest. Not fond of women? Yet needing the Imperial Uncle to search for beautiful ladies far and wide? The Crown Prince of Xiliang seems rather amusing!

As the few people in the room chatted, the headless giant who appeared at the door earlier followed in behind He Lienuo.

He wasn’t actually headless; it was merely because he was so tall that the door of the elegant room blocked his head from view, making it seem as if a decapitated body was moving.

Not only was he tall, this person, although not fat, walked with incredibly heavy footsteps, as if each step required an immense amount of effort. Not only did he vibrate with each step, but even those seated on stools could feel the ground trembling. freeweɓnovel-cøm

Lin Yuan looked at the large feet of the tall man with some concern, worried that her Dong Tian might be stomped to the ground by him!

Clutching her chest in pain, a pained and aggrieved expression appeared on Lin Yuan’s face. Xia Zheng understood her the best. Before the tall man took two steps, he promptly stopped him and turned his head to He Lienuo to raise an eyebrow and huff.

"Young Master Helian, have you come to our Dong Tian today on purpose to cause trouble? Bringing such a person, are you trying to bring down my Dong Tian? I tell you, even if you take down my Dong Tian, not to mention your boots, even if you chop off your feet, you won’t be able to compensate for it!"

Threatened in such a way by Xia Zheng, He Lienuo’s mouth twitched involuntarily, and the ink jade bone fan in his hand felt like a thousand-pound stone, impossible to sway.

However, seeing that pained expression on the face of the woman next to Xia Zheng, He Lienuo still believed that Xia Zheng wasn’t intentionally making things difficult for him, he was truly worried about his house.

His eyebrows slightly raised, he felt that the woman by Xia Zheng’s side was really too obsessed with wealth, and indeed was very well matched with Xia Zheng.

"Tall guy, go wait downstairs!"

He Lienuo waved his hand and sent the tall man out.

The tall man was very loyal, obviously not willing to leave He Lienuo alone in the room. Although his expression was dim, his eyes betrayed his concern.

He Lienuo’s face bore a trace of displeasure, and he said in a deep voice, "Get out now!"

Sensing the displeasure in He Lienuo’s tone, the tall man lowered his large head and responded with a bit of dejection, "As you order."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door.

Perhaps it was because he was not in a good mood, his footsteps as he walked out were even heavier.

Lin Yuan immediately became alarmed and shouted, "Please walk slowly! Walk slowly! Don’t rush!"

The tall man was slightly confused; his walking style had always been such, so why should he slow down?

However, sensing no malice in the tone of the young lady behind him, he couldn’t help but slow down his pace.

Seeing Lin Yuan’s relieved look, He Lienuo glanced sideways with a touch of disdain: Money grubber! Greedy for wealth! Qian Chuanzi!
