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

(87) A Wish Within Reasonable Limit

Chu Qing-Yan didn't know if it was her own misconception, she felt that for the past several days, Xiao Xu seemed to be moody, as if he was worried about something.

She couldn't say how she was able to feel it and if one was to ask her in detail, then she could only answer that it was a woman's sixth sense.

It couldn't help but be said that Chu Qing-Yan's sixth sense was fairly accurate.

Xiao Xu was indeed worried about a matter.

And this matter had something to do with Chu Qing-Yan.

Inside the study, Xiao Xu flipped through the examination papers that the military officials and strategists had handed in that day but he was not satisfied with any of them. He immediately set down the thick stack of papers and leaned against the back of the chair with somewhat of a headache.

In fact, he didn't need to be so serious in handling Chu Qing-Yan's birthday, he could have just given out orders and let Hong Yi take charge, she would definitely be able to carry out a birthday feast.

However, he didn't want to do it this way.

It seemed that because of Daddy Chu's words, that the most important birthday in a girl's life was when she turned 10, he definitely didn't want to handle it half-heartedly.

Since he treated her as a child to be raised, then he wanted to give her the world's best things.

He had never treated his own people unfairly.

However, as the days passed and that date approached day by day, he still completely lacked any idea. When he had to face the enemy troops' strange formations, he was always able to figure out ways to break through. But now, he was actually defeated in the face of a little birthday and he couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless.

He got up and left the study heading towards his room. But when he passed by Chu Qing-Yan's room, he heard this conversation between her and Xi Ning.

At this moment, Xi Ning asked her in confusion. "Why would that girl dislike that guy?"

Chu Qing-Yan leaned against the wall of the bed and laughingly said. "Because the girl likes bananas but the guy gave the girl a cart of fruits. The guy said that he himself was touched and then asked why the girl wasn't. The girl was speechless, after that, the guy told the entire world, 'I spent all my money to buy a cart of fruits for this girl, yet she wasn't even the little bit touched, this girl must be a person with a heart of stone! There must be something wrong with the girl's character!' But the girl clearly only likes bananas and nothing more ah. You can't just blindly believe and follow. Don't just believe whatever you think is true, you must consider a lot of the other party's feelings."

Chu Qing-Yan paused for a moment before continuing. "The principle is just this simple."

She felt that the children from the ancient times matured earlier, they had already gotten married and given birth whereas teenagers in the modern society were just starting their freshman year of high school. So as she was idle with nothing to do, she wanted to instill some modern thinking into Xi Ning.

However after Xi Ning finished listening, she asked in confusion. "That boy gave fruits because he wanted to give what he thought was the best to the girl. Only, what the girl wanted was bananas. If the girl never said it out loud, who would understand what she wanted, don't you think so?"

Chu Qing-Yan was dumbfounded by her words, indeed Xi Ning's way of thinking wasn't wrong. She couldn't help but laugh and pat Xi Ning's head. "Worthy of being the student I taught, able to draw many conclusions from one case. Sure enough, a fine student trained by this excellent teacher."
