Chapter 145 You want to serve me food? You're not worthy!
Wu Ziyan rubbed the silver notes, not feeling the pinch at all while spending other people's money.
She swept through almost all the stalls, and piled all the things she bought into Qi Zexuan's hands, claiming that she bought them for him!
The boxes, big and small, were piled up almost to his head, and Wu Ziyan had no intention of letting him off the hook.
Tired, she went to a restaurant and asked for the best private room, as she usually does, but this time she didn't have to pay for it herself.
"Um, whatever you want to eat, please."
"Xuan'er!" [Isn't that my money?]
"Oh, Xuan'er, let me tell you, the food here is so delicious, but I'm usually so poor that I can never afford it. It's so pitiful!"
The waiter: ?
What is she doing? Doesn't their restaurant always supply tribute vegetables to various households?
Qi Zexuan almost believed it, but he had no appetite; he only wanted to manipulate his prey.
But the current situation seems to be a bit off. If we want to take Wu Ziyan's life, now is the perfect opportunity. All we need to do is stick chopsticks into her throat, and she won't even be able to scream!
No! No way! This woman is ignoring his good looks; he won't stand for it.
He had already been humiliated so badly in the street, so he had to make Wu Ziyan suffer before he could kill her!
He didn't believe there was any woman in the world who wouldn't be attracted to him, so he started to fawn over her, kindly serving her food when it was served.
Wu Ziyan blocked his chopsticks with her own: "You're not worthy to serve me food? Who do you think you are to serve me food!"
“It was Xuan’er who overstepped his bounds.”
He almost broke his chopsticks in his hand, but he resisted the urge, put the food back in his bowl, ate a couple of bites, and found it tasteless.
Wu Ziyan grabbed a chicken leg, took a couple of bites, and said, "So-so."
Qi Zexuan watched as she displayed no manners or appreciation for food, while he ate and drank slowly and deliberately, even wiping his mouth with a handkerchief – truly elegant.
Unfortunately, she was just a pretty face. She glanced at him sideways. Such a beautiful person, who knew what her intentions were, to kill her?
He could easily take action now, smash a bowl or a chopstick, and that would be it, wouldn't it?
Where are you from?
"I tossed and turned all night, sold myself, and long ago I no longer knew where I was from."
Wow, they're really into the role.
"Let's go back home."
He simply tossed a hundred-tael silver note on the table, didn't even wait for change, and walked away without looking to see if Qi Zexuan would follow.
Qi Zexuan was still carrying that pile of things and following behind Wu Ziyan, with many people pointing and whispering along the way.
"Look how beautiful she is, working as a servant for that shorty..."
"Yes, what makes her so special?"
Qi Zexuan nodded in agreement upon hearing these words. Everyone else understood his beauty, but this short man in front of him didn't, and even made him do such heavy physical labor.
The more praise he receives, the higher he holds his head; this is the attitude the world should have towards him.
Looking at the woman in front of him, she held a string of candied hawthorns in her hand, looking around and completely ignoring him.
Mo Baiyun followed him from the shadows. He could tell that Qi Zexuan was a trained martial artist; his steps were not as unsteady as those of ordinary people.
He must have intended to harm Wu Ziyan by infiltrating her side, but he didn't make a move despite having several opportunities. It's impossible that he actually has his eye on their master!
"Hey, do you know who I am?"
"Xuan'er! I know you are the Fourth Prince!"
"Knowing I'm a good-for-nothing, why do you still try to get close to me? What are you after?"
"I don't care what others say, I know you're a good person." [Once you kneel before me, I'll kill you!]
"Thank you, but if you come back to the manor with me, it will definitely cause a huge uproar, you know? You're exceptionally beautiful."
"You don't need to say that!" "Please, my wife, don't abandon me."
Wu Ziyan's eyes darted around, thinking that if he was indeed the prince of Xiao Rong Kingdom, then he must have some entanglement with the Prime Minister, Wu Chengye. If he were to hand this guy over to Wu Chengye...
I wonder what kind of expression they'll have! Oh well, it's safer to keep someone like that around.
"Don't worry, but I can't bear to see someone as beautiful as you being criticized by others, what should I do?"
"I do not care."
Fine, fine, if he doesn't care about titles, then take him back to the manor. That's her territory. Let's see what he can do.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Chu Qiu and Changsun Boyou went out as usual to check on Huang Ziliang's condition. At the street corner, they saw Wu Ziyan with a candied hawthorn in his mouth.
For the first time, their gazes didn't fall on her, but rather on the stunning beauty behind her.
The two of them were chatting and laughing, but when they saw this scene, they suddenly stopped laughing. But given their status, what right did they have to question Wu Ziyan?
Wu Ziyan seemed to sense two burning gazes. She slowly and mechanically turned her head and met the eyes of the two people.
Wuhu was completely exasperated, feeling like she'd been caught cheating. She held the candied hawthorn in her hand and smiled.
Completely ignoring the people behind her, she took two quick steps forward and ran up to them: "What are you two doing here? What a coincidence."
"It's not a coincidence." Chu Qiu turned her head to the side, not daring to look Wu Ziyan in the eye, because it would remind her of the scene of the two of them scrubbing each other in the bath.
"Oh my, Miss Ziyan, you're not even going to introduce her? Who is this? There are people in the capital who are so beautiful!" Changsun Boyu looked him up and down without any attempt to hide his beauty.
Wu Ziyan beckoned with her finger, and the two unconsciously moved closer together, because Wu Ziyan always liked to pull people into a small circle when discussing things.
Her hands could barely reach their shoulders: "Hey, you two, bend down a bit."
"The person behind me is a prince of the Xiao Rong Kingdom. Of course, that's just my guess. He's playing the role of the top courtesan at the Drunken Flower Pavilion right now. I'm just playing along with him, so you two shouldn't misunderstand."
They felt quite touched; they hadn't expected Wu Ziyan to go out of her way to explain.
But their beauty was so stunning that both of them trembled at the sight of her. Could Wu Ziyan really resist?
"That's too dangerous."
“I think Miss Ziyan, you can send someone to follow him. There’s no need for you to play along with him yourself.”
"Aren't you all busy? By the way, how's Ziliang doing?"
Qi Zexuan was treated as background noise and invisible in the background. They were talking very quietly, so he couldn't hear them at all.
Having no other choice, she could only pretend to twist her ankle, scattering the boxes she was holding all over the ground, while letting out a soft moan: "Ouch."
As expected, their conversation was interrupted. Chu Qiu and Changsun Boyou saw impatience in Wu Ziyan's eyes, which refreshed their understanding of the situation.
They admitted that the rumors had some influence on them before.
After all, she was surrounded by so many men, yet she was completely unmoved by the stunningly handsome man behind her, and even seemed impatient with him!
"Hey, are you calcium deficient? You can barely stand up straight. Are you sick or trying to come to my house to beg for food and drink? OMG!"
Although they found Wu Ziyan's words somewhat illogical, Qi Zexuan knew that she was insulting him, but he couldn't back down. He had already started pretending, so he had to keep up the act!
