Mu Yexiao felt very content when he saw the delicious breakfast. Qian Jiujiu's appearance was a little plain and did not have any artistic skills.

However, she could at least satisfy his belly. Mu Yexiao was forced to be pleased with her and sat down to eat breakfast with her.

Ancient people would not speak at the dining table or bedroom. Qian Jiujiu understood not speaking in the bedroom, but she could not endure the silence while eating.

When she saw that Mu Yexiao had finished half of his food, Qian Jiujiu could not help speaking. "How's the food?"

He simply stared at her and said, "So undisciplined."

After saying that, he buried his head and continued eating. Qian Jiujiu was saddened by his remark. She was merely being considerate.

So ungrateful. Qian Jiujiu's shoulders drooped in disappointment, leaving him to eat in silence. After having breakfast, she also gave him the silent treatment.

Mu Yexiao frowned as he looked at her. "Qian Jiujiu, what's wrong. Why are you so dispirited?"

He had never seen her so unenergetic before. Qian Jiujiu merely rolled her eyes at him and silently thought to herself. Why do you care?

She merely grunted and left, without giving him a reply. Mu Yexiao felt a little troubled after being given the cold shoulder. Thinking that something was amiss, he peered at Qian Jiujiu again.

"Qian Jiujiu, I thought of something. Do you want to hear it? Otherwise, you'll regret it."

She turned around and looked him in the eyes. "I wonder what it is? I don't want to regret it, so please do tell me.

Mu Yexiao was clearly displeased with her attitude. However, he hated seeing her so dejected more. Hence, he continued with a sigh.

"I remember that your mother is unwell, so I originally wanted to send someone to protect her secretly. Seems like someone is ungrateful."

After hearing that, Qian Jiujiu's eyes instantly lit up. "Is Your Highness speaking the truth? You want to help protect my mother?"

Mu Yexiao could not help laughing when he saw her brighten up. "I've always been..."

Mu Yexiao purposely stopped speaking because he wanted to see Qian Jiujiu's anxious expression. He wanted to say that he would never go back on his words.

Seeing that he suddenly stopped, Qian Jiujiu could not help make wild predictions. She narrowed her eyes as she fell deep into her thoughts. Since we're partners, I must reward him with something for his effort.

With that, her eyes lit up in epiphany as she stared at Mu Yexiao.

"I understand now. Your Highness, you wanted to say that you must receive proper rewards for your effort, right? Don't worry, I will make sure to repay you appropriately for protecting my mother."

"Say it, what do you want me to do? I will do anything that's within my capability."

Perplexed, Mu Yexiao merely stared at her with a frown. "Qian Jiujiu, what do you think of me actually?"

What do I think of you? Has he gone insane today? Why is he suddenly interested in this? Blinking her eyes, she replied, "Your Highness is impressive and almighty!"

"I respect you deeply!"

"Fine, stop spouting nonsense. I wanted to say that I will never go back on my words. I'll always fulfill my promises. Alright, I'll send someone to protect your mother."
