Even Qian Jiujiu was astonished by Mu Yexiao's actions. She blinked her eyes twice in confusion and asked, "Your Highness, have you never tasted chicken before?"

Mu Yexiao glared at Qian Jiujiu indignantly and replied, "You're the one that has never had it before! I just, hmph, love eating it."

Eyeing the piece of chicken in his hand, a flustered frown crept onto Mu Yexiao's countenance unwillingly. He actually resorted to such actions. Sigh, Qian Jiujiu is truly irksome.

However, Mu Yexiao suddenly gasped in surprise in his heart. Has Qian Jiujiu become someone that can sway my emotions so easily now?

Or am I becoming increasingly attracted to her behaviour? This is not ideal. Hence, a displeased expression appeared on the Prince's face again.

Qin Jiujiu could not help frowning at his disgruntled expression. However, she was quite famished now. Furthermore, the tantalizing aroma of the chicken soup wafted in the air, slowly stimulating her sense of smell and appetite.

Unconsciously, her stomach let out a loud rumble, protesting in hunger. So, she looked at Mu Yexiao and casually remarked, "Since Your Highness has started eating, I shall begin having my meal as well."

Immediately, Qian Jiujiu grabbed the remaining plate of chicken and placed it before her. Ignoring the suspicious eyes fixating on her, she proceeded to eat to her heart's content.

Unabashed, she soon finished eating the entire chicken. With her hunger quelled, she announced that she felt re-energized and elated. However, when she raised her head from her plate, she noticed Mu Yexiao staring at her.

She patted her chin and asked, "Your Highness, is something bothering you? Why are you looking at me in such a manner?"

Mu Yexiao was utterly flabbergasted by her question. Is something bothering me? He was merely astounded as he had never witnessed a dainty lady ate so ravenously before.

Shaking his head, he simply replied, "Nothing. Is the food enough? If you need more, I will ask the servants to bring us more."

Qian Jiujiu pursed her lips and answered casually, "It's fine. I'm quite full now. But, Your Highness, you said that you like chicken, right?"

Mu Yexiao's lips twitched a little. Must you keep returning to this topic? So unlikeable. After coughing twice awkwardly, he said, "Yes. I quite like it."

Qian Jiujiu seemed ecstatic by his response. "Splendid. I plan to boil herbal soups for you in the future to improve your health. Then, we can start officially removing the toxins from your body."

"Actually, I was troubled as I couldn't find out your favorite food. After all, it'll be quite tormenting to be forced to eat something you despised. Since you like chicken, that's a great piece of news to hear!"

"I'll simply use chicken as my main ingredient, that's it. I'll see you tomorrow, I will return to my room to rest now. Your Highness, I shall excuse myself now."

After saying that, she turned around and left instantly, without even having a farewell glance at Mu Yexiao. Her departure left the people in utter shock, as they exchanged perplexed glances with one another. Meanwhile, Dong Chen stared at Mu Yexiao with a disgruntled expression worn on his face.

"Your Highness, when did you start to like eating chicken? As your personal guard, why do I not know this at all?"

Mu Yexiao simply raised his head to look at the sky in silence. Who says that I love chicken? I was merely saying nonsense because Qian Jiujiu flustered me so much.
