Qian Jiujiu could only finally heave a sigh of relief after seeing that Noble Consort Qing had left. "Your imperial mother appeared out of nowhere."

Mu Yexiao glanced at Qian Jiujiu with a hint of amusement in his eyes. "I think that both of you got along well."

Qian Jiujiu merely let out a chuckle. "I'll make sure I tell imperial mother this."

Mu Yexiao frowned when he heard her. What does that mean? Suddenly, he remembered that his imperial mother would become extremely furious when people mentioned her age, causing him to break into a cold sweat at that thought.

Qian Jiujiu placed the remaining chicken soup before him and said, "I've cooked this with all my effort for hours. Hurry up and finish them, so I can go out."

"You haven't left the house after being injured, right? Great, you'll follow me along today, then."

However, he merely stared at her blankly in response. Qian Jiujiu blinked her eyes and asked, "Why? Are you afraid?"

"Actually, I want to ask something. Didn't you go out yesterday? You even went to Qian Manor. You have to give my imperial mother a present tomorrow, but what about my father?"

Qian Jiujiu was a little suspicious. "Why do I feel that you're making me give presents to your parents?"

Mu Yexiao felt that her assumption was quite ridiculous and retorted, "Well, I'm doing it with your best interest in mind. If you make them like you, you'll have an easier life here."

She merely scratched her chin and stared at Mu Yexiao, saying, "Your Highness, there are so many people in the imperial palace. How many presents should I prepare? I should know that I'm a poor pauper."

Mu Yexiao's lips twitched a little as he said, "I have money. Take as much as you need."

Qian Jiujiu simply looked at him warily at his sudden generosity. Why do I feel like you have some covert intention? Why are you suddenly so kind and nice to me?

"There's nothing free in this world. Spill the beans, what do you want exactly."

Mu Yexiao merely coughed awkwardly and replied, "What're you thinking about? What do you even have for me to steal? Even if you're a genius doctor, you already promised to treat me. What else can I do to you?"

Qian Jiujiu nodded, assured by his response. "True, but I still feel uneasy."

Mu Yexiao was rendered speechless by her attitude. This Qian Jiujiu, not only she's dumb, but she's also so sensitive. Of course, he had his own agenda.

Since he liked Qian Jiujiu, he wanted to make sure she was his forever. Thus, he would shower her with unlimited love until she would never leave him. He would surely employ this great tactic to keep her by his side.

He decided to pamper her constantly, so that she became too used to it. Then, she would never abandon him.

However, Qian Jiujiu became so wary when he treated slightly better just now, to his surprise. She may be an idiot, but she's quite smart too.

But, she still looks a little foolish. What kind of person is this Qian Jiujiu exactly?

Meanwhile, Qian Jiujiu was utterly oblivious to his internal conflicts. She hastily rose to her feet and said, "Since Your Highness is so generous, I'll gladly accept it."

"After all, I'm giving presents to your family, so you should be the one spending money anyway. Well, let us head out soon. We'll buy some things as presents for tomorrow."
