Cute Wife Gourmet

Chapter 427 Extra (Xiao Jing Chapter)

The team escorting Princess Yu's coffin back to her hometown was huge and majestic, with white flags like a forest. Everyone's expression was solemn and the atmosphere was heavy. Wherever they passed, the people stopped to watch with sad expressions.

However, Helian Jing, who was sitting in the carriage, was in a very good mood. He would lift a corner of the curtain from time to time to secretly look at A'ruan, who was following behind the carriage and pretending to be a maid. Thinking about the strategy that Yaoyao had mentioned before, he became more and more happy.

He thought it would be impossible in this lifetime and he would only regret it for the rest of his life, but Prince Yu brought this great opportunity upon himself by committing suicide.

However, the sun was so scorching at the moment that A Ruan was afraid she would get sunburned.

Helian Jing felt very distressed. After thinking for a while, he knocked on the car wall.

Outside, Ping An asked, "My Lord, what do you want?"

"I feel a little dizzy. Let me ask a maid to come in and massage me." Helian Jing said.

Ping An said nervously, "My Lord, you are not feeling well. How about I give you a massage?"

Helian Jing really wanted to kick Ping An down with one kick. Who asked you to rub him? Isn't that a bad thing for me?

"What are you talking about? Hurry up and call the third maid from the left behind." Helian Jing said impatiently.

Ping An stuck out his tongue, made a face, and jumped off the carriage to find the maid. He had thought that the prince had taken a fancy to the pretty one, but she turned out to be dark-skinned and looked ordinary. Was the prince sure he wanted her to serve him? Did the prince make a mistake?

I was worried that if I made a mistake, the prince would not say that he had made a mistake. He would definitely say that he had found the wrong person, and I would definitely be punished again.

Ping An ran back happily and asked the prince in a low voice: "Prince, are you talking about the black one?"

Helian Jing hummed in a depressed tone. Wasn’t what he said clear enough?
Ping An secretly smacked his lips. Wow, the prince's vision is really different! He doesn't like the beautiful woman who looks like a fairy, but he likes this kind of black charcoal.

After receiving clear instructions, Ping An said to the dark-skinned maid, "What's your name?"

The maid replied, "My servant is Mo Xiang."

Ping An was happy when he heard this. Mo Xiang, as expected, lives up to his name, as black as ink.

"The prince is feeling a little unwell. You go to the car and serve him. Please serve carefully. If you serve well, the prince will reward you. If you don't serve well, hmph..." Ping An threatened with the power of the prince.

After hearing this, Helian Jing in the carriage wanted to get out and beat Ping An up on the spot. "You bastard, how dare you talk to my woman in that tone? I'll beat you to death."

A Ruan was a little hesitant. Before leaving, Sister Yaoyao specifically told her that the two of them should keep their distance and not arouse any suspicion. What was Xiao Jing going to do?
However, her current identity is a maid, how could she go against the prince's wishes?
A Ruan had no choice but to get on the carriage, not noticing the countless envious and aggrieved glances coming from behind him.

He is so ugly, but he is fortunate enough to serve the prince. Did this manager Ping An get his brain stuck in the door, or did he have an eye cramp?
Only Ah Man was happy. Prince Jing must have felt sorry for the princess' hard work, so he deliberately found an excuse to let the princess get in the car and have a rest.

Ping An was very depressed and confused, and didn't even realize that he was hated by the maids.

As soon as A Ruan got in the car, Xiao Jing pulled her to sit down with a smile, handed her a kettle, and said softly, "You must be tired!"

Ah Ruan didn't take the water, and whispered in a low voice: "Why did you ask me to come up? Did you forget Sister Yaoyao's advice?"

Xiao Jing said: "What does it matter? I also need a few personal servants anyway!"

"But this is never a good thing." A Ruan was worried that something might go wrong and ruin the plan.

Xiao Jing put the kettle in her hand: "Okay, don't worry, it will be okay."

A Ruan then opened the kettle and took a sip. The weather was so hot and the sun was so strong that it was a bit unbearable. After taking a sip of the herbal tea, he felt much more relaxed.

Xiaojing took out a handkerchief and wanted to wipe her sweat. Ah Ruan shyly dodged but was caught by Xiaojing. She couldn't break free or protest loudly, so she could only stand stiffly and let him wipe her sweat.

His movements were very gentle, and because she was so close, she could smell the faint minty scent of his clothes. Ah Ruan felt her face burning. Xiao Jing treated her like this, did he really not mind that she had been someone else's woman?

From the time she was rescued until now, she had always had this doubt: Xiao Jing was a kind person, could it be that he felt sorry for her, so he did not oppose Sister Yaoyao's arrangement? She did not dare to ask, what if that was really the case?
A Ruan's face was smeared with a special juice prepared by Sister Yao Yao, which made her skin darker and uglier, but Helian Jing didn't care at all. Once a person lives in your heart, it doesn't matter whether she is beautiful or ugly. The person you have been thinking about is by your side at this moment. Xiao Jing is only happy and can't help but hold A Ruan's hand.

Ah Ruan struggled shyly and symbolically for a while, then let him hold her hand, her heart beating faster and faster.

"You just rest here. Later, when I tell you that you have served me well, I will transfer you to my side and make you my maid. This way, everything will be legitimate." Xiao Jing expressed her wishful thinking.

He couldn't bear to watch A'ruan suffer, and he couldn't bear to do it.

"Is this okay?" Ah Ruan was nervous. For the sake of safety, she would rather suffer a little more.

"Who cares? Seeing you suffer makes me so heartbroken." Xiao Jing said.

A Ruan felt as if a warm current flowed through her heart, sweetly and gently. It was the first time she heard Xiao Jing express his concern for her so directly.

If only they had been like this before, she would never agree to marry Prince Yu. At that time, Xiao Jing's attitude was unclear, and she had no confidence at all. Could she still cling to him? Her heart was broken and dead at that time. If it weren't for Sister Yaoyao, she would really rather wither away forever.

Unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, the two of them can still sit together hand in hand and listen to him say such sweet words.

"Xiao Jing...you...really don't dislike me?" Ah Ruan hesitated for a long time, but still asked this question. If she didn't clarify this issue, she would still feel uncomfortable even if she was with him in the future.

"You don't have to force it. I know you're soft-hearted and you pity me, but you really don't have to force it."

Xiao Jing sighed, "What are you talking about? How can I feel sorry for you? Why do you have to force me to do this? I don't know where these ideas of yours come from."

A Ruan lowered her head and didn't dare to look him in the eyes. Isn't that right?

Xiao Jing said a little aggrievedly: "I thought you understood everything. If I just felt sorry for you, would I run to save you? If Sister Yaoyao and the others didn't know what I was thinking, would they still make these arrangements? I missed it once and thought I would never have the chance again in this life. I don't know how upset I am. Now, we still have a chance to be together. How could I dislike you?"

This was Xiaojing's second time confessing his love to someone. The first experience was simply horrible, so he inevitably felt a little traumatized and a little nervous, with sweat on his palms.

Ah Ruan was also sweating from nervousness. He felt that their hands were damp when they were clasped together. He thought it was because he was sweating too much and felt embarrassed.

"Aruan, stop having these random thoughts, okay? Unless you don't like me." Xiao Jing took a step back to advance.

"No, no, how could I not like you? I have always liked you, you know." A Ruan said anxiously.

Xiao Jing pretended to be calm and stared at her dimly. Although her face was covered with something black and it was hard to tell whether she was blushing or not, her bright big eyes were filled with shyness, earnestness, and affection.

"Really? Don't force me. To be honest, it's okay. I can bear the blow." Xiao Jing deliberately curled her lips.

"It's true, it's true. I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. It's because I care too much that I'm a little worried." Ah Ruan saw his frustrated expression and felt heartbroken. She was more eager to express her true feelings. She didn't react at all, when the wind direction changed, nor did she notice the smile hidden in someone's eyes.

"You don't know, when I put on my wedding dress and married Prince Yu, I really wanted to die..."

The next moment, a hand covered her mouth.

Xiao Jing said lovingly, "The past is over, let's not talk about it anymore, okay? We wasted a lot of time, I will spend the rest of my life making up for it, and let you live happily every day, as happy as Sister Yaoyao."

He originally wanted to tease her, but seeing that she was so anxious that she was about to cry, he felt so distressed and felt that he was a bit of a fool. He had always known what A'ruan felt in his heart.

A Ruan threw herself into his arms, sobbing silently.

Not tears of grievance, but tears of joy.

Xiao Jing hugged her, stroked her back, and let her cry in his arms. From now on, this embrace belongs only to you. Whether it is tears of grievance or tears of happiness, you can let them flow freely in my arms.

However, there is still a problem that makes Xiao Jing a little uneasy.

After A'ruan had cried enough and calmed down, Xiao Jing asked softly, "Um... will your father, the King of Nanyue, be difficult to talk to?"

A'ruan immediately understood what Xiaojing was worried about. She was afraid that her father would not agree!

"Hmph, if he dares not agree, I will make him truly lose my daughter." Ah Ruan snorted.

Xiao Jing's heart tightened: "Don't do anything stupid. If your father doesn't agree, I will pester him, use soft and hard means, and use whatever means. In short, if he doesn't agree, I will stay here and eat his food and live in his house until he is broke."

Ah Ruan couldn't help laughing and burst out laughing.

"Even if you stay in South Vietnam for your whole life and eat and drink for free, you can't make him poor!"

"Then I will find all kinds of ways to bother him every day, just like my sister-in-law. The emperor will have to run away as soon as he sees my sister-in-law." Xiao Jing vowed that he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Ah Ruan rolled his eyes and smiled: "Actually, it's easy to deal with my father."

Xiao Jing's eyes lit up: "What's going on? Tell me quickly."

A Ruan whispered in his ear for a while.

Xiao Jing nodded repeatedly and said with a chuckle, "That's no problem. Look at you, you are so handsome, so elegant, and so gentle. Any woman, young or old, will like me very much. It will be a piece of cake to deal with your grandmother."

Ah Ruan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. It was the first time she realized that Xiao Jing was so cocky. However, she liked him.

Cold Xiaojing, gentle Xiaojing, arrogant Xiaojing, no matter what he is like, he is the only one in her heart, the one she loves the most.
