The carriage was driving along the street. It was quiet inside. Zhan Shaoxi was silent for a long time before he suddenly opened his mouth to speak. "Lady Wife, you grew up in the palace, and have never been outside. Thinking about it, perhaps you have also never eaten any delicious food from out of the palace. Why don't we have lunch outside?"

Xue Ling was flipping through a book with his cheek propped up against the back of his hand. He looked over when he heard the words, and although there was no expression on the man's face, Xue Ling could still sense the tension and hesitation under his calm facade.

He calculated the time and discovered that today was the day when the heroine found the male puppy on her way back from the palace. There was a luncheon in the palace today, and so the female protagonist could not leave until after the event was over. He thought about it, nodded and said, "That's fine."

When Zhan Shaoxi saw him nodding, he couldn't help showing a trace of a smile. He leaned out and asked people to book a private room and prepare some dishes and wine ahead of time, looking very happy.

In fact, he really was very happy. After all, it was the first time that he and his wife formally had lunch together since their marriage. After the wedding, they ate together only once, and Xue Ling's indifferent face made him feel deeply distressed.

He was driven away by the other party's mocking words, and never entered the Lady's house again. If they returned to the General's Palace just like this, he didn't even need to think to know that he would have no chance to see his wife again today.

The General was very happy to find an excuse to accompany her.

Xue Ling was not a picky eater, but knowing that he lived by the principle that he should enjoy life more whenever the opportunity arose, Zhan Shaoxi made a reservation at the best restaurant in the Capital. Even if it was currently lunchtime and there were no spare private rooms, the restaurant would still do everything possible to get them one.

After all, it was the Zhenguo General and the Royal Princess!

When the carriage arrived at the restaurant, the manager was already waiting outside the door. Seeing how Zhan Shaoxi purposely slowed down after getting out in order to support Xue Ling, he could not help but sigh over the General's affection for the Royal Princess.

Xue Ling did not hide his appearance, but the passersby did not dare to look directly at him. It wasn't until they went upstairs that the people on the roadside began to gossip. So that was how the new couple from that big wedding the entire Capital was celebrating a few days ago looked like. Sure enough, it was a man with talent and a woman with beauty; they were all kinds of well matched.

The restaurant did not dare to make the two noble personages wait for too long. All the dishes were served soon after they arrived at the private room, and the waiters discretely retreated. Xue Ling's gaze swept across the dishes and his cold expression thawed slightly, which eased Zhan Shaoxi's nervous mood significantly.

"What does Lady Wife want to eat? I'll get it for you."

Xue Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, finding the man's flattering appearance somewhat amusing. In the past, he had been domineering yet tender, standing in front and blocking everything for him. Sometimes he was soft and yielding, making Xue Ling alternate between intimidation and bribery. Xue Ling enjoyed that kind of interaction with him, but his current attitude made him a little distressed. "The General doesn't need to act anymore, there are no outsiders here." Although his heart was soft, he still needed to say the words that needed to be said. If the man did not properly explain himself about what had happened on their wedding night, Xue Ling absolutely would not back down a single step.
