Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(41) I'm The Child, So I'm The Biggest

Her meaning was extremely clear. I'm but a child who doesn't understand matters. If you want to make things difficult for me, then go ahead, but you'll end up with the image of a petty person. Let's see what you'll choose!

"Barely enough to enter the ear." Xiao Xu lowered his eyes to drink tea, as if he hadn't heard the deep meaning behind her words.

Seeing that she had passed this ordeal, Chu Qing-Yan let out an even bigger breath of relief. And because her whole body relaxed at this moment, a mixture of feelings poured in: tiredness, exhaustion and even hunger. She had come rushing in early in the morning, and after crying and making a fuss, it wasn't surprising that she was tired and hungry.

However, this person sat there like a bell, unmoving, like he didn't have any thoughts of leaving. If he didn't leave, how would she return to her own little courtyard earlier and rest?

As a result she 'kindly' reminded him, "Your Highness, the time is not early. Don't you have to go to morning court?"

This question suddenly incited everybody's glowering eyes. Chu Qing-Yan got scared, she just said an ordinary sentence, why did it provoke everybody's anger? Just as she was trying to make heads or tail of this, the person in front of her unhurriedly answered.

"In this period of time, this king doesn't need to go to morning court."

A rumbling sounded, like a bolt from the blue ah!

Until she walked out of Jade Garden, she still had a dazed look in her eyes, her footsteps stepping into emptiness, she was quite unstable.

Xi Ning didn't know what happened inside to her master. When she walked out, she had a dazed expression, giving people the misconception that she had a one-sided love. At this moment, she stared tensely at her master, fearing that she would do something stupid. All of a sudden, Chu Qing-Yan crouched down, supported by the wall. Xi Ning hurriedly walked over and only heard fragments of her mumbles to herself.

"Bastard, I'm going to draw circles to curse you!"

Xi Ning's head was full of questions, what did this mean?

If she knew that he didn't need to go to morning court, why would she bother to come struggling with him for these past few days? Today, she even went tit for tat, creating a lot of faux pas. This Xiao Xu's heart was simply black to the extreme. She was even happy for quite a while when she finally got his permission. But it turned out that he simply didn't need to go to morning court, and so, there simply was no need for her to accompany him that early for breakfast!

She must draw circles to curse him!

After Chu Qing-Yan walked out, Fire Spirit came in with a smiling expression, whereas Earth Spirit's face was like someone owed him 1.80 million dollars.

"Master, I heard that the Chu family's miss was angered quite a lot by you!" Fire Spirit laughingly said.

"She's only a child." Xiao Xu recalled that fair and tender face suddenly flushing red a while ago, and couldn't help but feel it was a little funny.

Earth Spirit sneered, "Your Highness, this person's manners are vulgar and rude. You simply don't need to waste your thoughts on her."

Hearing Earth Spirit's words, Fire Spirit's pair of ears immediately perked up. With a curious expression, he looked at his family's master, "Master, this subordinate feels that recently, the way you do things is different from normal. After hearing what Earth Spirit said, is it possible that you really have other plans for this Chu family's little miss?"

Xiao Xu shot him a glance and didn't respond. Earth Spirit coldly smiled at the side and said, "When will your elm wood-like brain get enlightenment? Such a simple matter and you can't even figure it out?"

Being slandered by Earth Spirit in front of their master, Fire Spirit was just about to rebuke and win his face back when he heard Earth Spirit's next words.

"The reason why master did this was merely to incite her and make her take the initiative of bring up the matter of abandoning this marriage."

Being poked like this by Earth Spirit, Fire Spirit finally saw the light. He clapped his hands and smilingly said, "No wonder Master would suddenly want to eat meals with her at the same table, and even endure her deliberate provocations. So, it turned out that it was used as a pretext to make her endure hardships until she couldn't bear it and take the initiative to bring it up." Suddenly, he thought of something. Fire Spirit turned his head and curiously asked his family's master who was unperturbed, "Since Your Highness wants to let her go, why not take the initiative to ask her?" Why make such a big circle around the topic?

"It's not like she mentioned it, and this king doesn't like showering affection on an uninterested party." Xiao Xu said faintly.

Sneer, sneer——don't like showering affection on an uninterested party, but pressured the person to this point. Fire Spirit shook his head in his heart. Master's way of helping people really was one of a kind! A pity that that Chu Family's little miss didn't grasp the hidden meaning behind this and let go of an opportunity in vain.

This matter now exposed was not brought up again.

Earth Spirit's appearance was solemn and respectful, "Master, His Majesty wanted to let you recuperate for a period of time. I'm afraid it's because he doesn't believe you. Now, he has already sent people to investigate you."

"Let him do what he wants." Xiao Xu covered the teacup, his eyes becoming colder.
