Cute Wife Gourmet

Chapter 74 It’s so embarrassing
"You knew I was coming? You were waiting for me?" Xia Chunyu was a little surprised. He finally managed to coax Princess Liuli back and rushed back to find her. He had no choice but to say some things she didn't like to hear. He knew that this woman was very petty, and he wouldn't feel at ease if he didn't come. Fortunately, he ordered the guards to follow her, otherwise he would have to go to the inn to find her.

"I'll settle the score with you when you come back. Otherwise, how can I sit here and hold on? I'm almost dying of stuffing." Ye Jiayao collapsed in the chair and touched her stomach in pain.

Xia Chunyu was embarrassed. Was this image of hers really appropriate in public? He really wanted to pretend that he didn't know her and just walk away. It was too embarrassing.

He lowered his voice and said, "I'll wait for you outside."

Ye Jiayao jumped up: "Hey, you made me wait for so long, this meal is on you."

Ye Jiayao spoke very loudly, and the guests eating nearby all looked over.

Sweat dripped down Xia Chunyu's forehead. He glared at Ye Jiayao. Ye Jiayao raised her chin as if it was a matter of course.

Xia Chunyu asked the waiter: "How much?"

The guy said it was seven taels in total.

Xia Chunyu paid the money and left.

Ye Jiayao was finally freed and could walk out of here with her head held high, but... ouch, her stomach was so full.

Holding her stomach, Ye Jiayao walked out of Fu Ji. She didn't see Donkey. Where was he? Did he run away?
"Come up." A corner of the curtain on the carriage opposite was lifted, and the low and indifferent voice of the stupid donkey was particularly pleasant to hear, very majestic and manly.

Ye Jiayao climbed onto the train with great effort, squeezed Xia Chunyu aside, took up most of the carriage, and collapsed again. It turned out that there was really such a thing as dying from overeating. She felt that her stomach had been paralyzed and was about to go on strike.

"Why are you calling a taxi?" Ye Jiayao asked.

Xia Chunyu said disdainfully: "I don't want to walk with someone who is so exhausted that he can't even walk."

Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes angrily.

"Will you die if you eat one less bite? Are the dishes at Fu Ji really that delicious? Better than what you cook yourself?" Xia Chunyu really couldn't stand her sitting in such an unruly manner. In the past when they were in the mountains, he always said that she didn't look like a rich lady, but at least she looked like a woman. Now, she was sloppy and looked like a total scumbag.

"What is it to you?" Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes again, thinking, do you think I want to be like this? It's all because of that princess of yours. Now my stomach is in tatters and I've lost my purse. Even a small mosquito is still meat. I feel so sorry for her.

"Do you think I want to be in charge? Didn't you shamelessly beg me to take care of it? Isn't it because of my dereliction of duty that you are still angry with me now?" Xia Chunyu teased and told the driver to start the car.

Ye Jiayao just covered her stomach, feeling too uncomfortable to argue with him.

"Is it really that uncomfortable?" He reached out and pressed his big hand on her belly.

"Go away. Don't you want to get involved? Then just ignore it!" Ye Jiayao slapped his hand away.

Xia Chunyu put it on again, and while rubbing her, he said, "It's too late to stop caring. I like to see things through to the end."

His palms were warm, and she could feel the warmth of his palms through the thin clothes. The pressure of the massage was just right, very comfortable. This scene seemed to have returned to the night when she had her period in Heifenggang, and he also rubbed her belly patiently and gently for the whole night.

When did I become so dependent on him? Maybe it started from that night! Her nose felt a little sour, and Ye Jiayao turned away, not wanting him to see the weakness in her eyes.

“In the future, don’t get involved in people or things you don’t like, especially disputes in restaurants. The manager and the shopkeeper will handle them. This is Jinling City. If you walk down the street, you’ll see a lot of princes and sons of nobles. You never know when you might offend someone you shouldn’t offend.” Xia Chunyu said in a softened tone.

When he sent Princess Liuli back, Liuli complained to him all the way about how Yaoyao scolded her in Tianshangju and teased her on the street... Of course, he knew very well that Liuli was not telling the truth. He also knew very well that Yaoyao would never be so polite when scolding people, and she would play tricks on people in a very vicious way. He had experienced it before.

Therefore, he fully believed that today was the first time that Liuli suffered such a big setback and the first time that she suffered such a great injustice, and she must be holding a grudge in her heart.

Therefore, he had to have a good talk with Yaoyao. He had already provoked Helian Xuan, and now there was Liuli. If she wanted to create another strong enemy, he would be really helpless.

Ye Jiayao knew he was right. She didn't want to care at the time, but when that guy mentioned her, she couldn't help herself.

"Some people won't reason with you, unlike me who is easy to talk to..."

Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes when she heard this. "You're easy to talk to?" When they were on the mountain, he always gave her a cold look. "You're easy to talk to?" How shameless.

Xia Chunyu automatically ignored her rolling eyes and said, "That Princess Liuli is the daughter of the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince and the Princess died in an accident, leaving behind only Liuli, who was less than three years old. The Queen Mother took pity on her and kept her by her side, doting on her. Even the Emperor doted on her. From childhood to adulthood, she had everything she wanted, so she was inevitably spoiled and willful."

Ye Jiayao couldn't help being surprised. It turned out that Princess Liuli lost both her parents when she was young. How pitiful! No matter how much others loved her, it couldn't compare to her own parents.

"Two years ago, Simon wanted to marry Huaisong, but the Queen just mentioned that Liuli was of the right age, and the Queen Mother was furious. In the end, the Queen had no choice but to send her 13-year-old Princess Jinghe to Simon." Xia Chunyu said.

Ye Jiayao smacked her lips. It was obvious that Liuli's status in the Queen Mother's mind was higher than those legitimate princesses! She was immediately worried. This time she had hit a wall.

"Now, you know who you have offended!" Seeing the sad look on her face, Xia Chunyu didn't have the heart to scare her anymore. She knew that it was good to be scared. In Jinling, at the foot of the emperor and the center of power, one had to be cautious in what one did, especially in a place like a restaurant, where all kinds of people mixed together. One had to be even more careful.

Ye Jiayao said stubbornly: "She was wrong too." "Many things cannot be simply judged by right or wrong..."

"Alright, alright, stop preaching. I understand. Just like there is no absolute fairness in this world, money makes the devil work, power makes the devil work. If you have no money and no power, just be an honest person and behave yourself! But I still want to say that right is right and wrong is wrong. If no one dares to speak out against unfairness and injustice, then what kind of justice is there in this world? If you are wrong and no one tells you, you don't learn a lesson, then you will only go further and further on the wrong path. When one day you offend someone more powerful than you, or the privileges you enjoy are gone, then wait for death! In fact, the Queen Mother is harming Liuli by doting on her so much."

Xia Chunyu was silent for a long time, then nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, but next time if you run into Liuli again and she provokes you, what will you do?"

A cunning look flashed across Ye Jiayao's eyes: "That depends on the specific situation and my mood. If I'm in a good mood, I'll admit my mistake. If I'm in a bad mood, then... I'll flatter you."

Xia Chunyu shook his head speechlessly. She really was a person who was unwilling to suffer any loss.

"Sir, we're here." The coachman stopped the carriage.

Xia Chunyu didn't rush to get off the car, but asked, "Does your stomach feel better?"

In fact, it has gotten much better, but Ye Jiayao denied it: "It's still painful!"

Xia Chunyu lifted the car curtain: "Get out first!"

Ye Jiayao came out and looked. Why was it Ruyi Inn? Shouldn't she go back to Laifu Inn?

Ye Jiayao looked at Xia Chunyu inexplicably: "What are you doing here?"

Xia Chunyu raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at her, and said casually: "You know Zhao Qixuan, right? He also offended Liuli, and as a result, he was carried out of the bed in the middle of the night and thrown into the pond in the backyard of the mansion. Um... I remember it was the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, and it was snowing heavily."

Xia Chunyu concealed the fact that someone had the habit of sleeping naked, and the scene was quite tragic.

Ye Jiayao shuddered. Liuli was too arrogant! If he knew that she was staying at Laifu Inn, would he send someone to set fire to it in the middle of the night?

Xia Chunyu strode into Ruyi Inn, and Ye Jiayao followed him in happily. Saving one's life was the most important thing, so let's put face aside for now!

Xia Chunyu knew that she followed in, and the corners of his lips slightly raised, laughing secretly: She was speaking righteously before, but now she is cowardly again.

"But I have to tell Manager Du, otherwise Xiao Yang will keep waiting at the door." Ye Jiayao said after getting the key to the No. 1 room.

"I'll send someone to tell Shopkeeper Du. You can just stay here for a few days without worry. Everything will be fine once Liuli's anger subsides."

"But what if she's still angry? What if she goes to Tianshangju to cause trouble?" Ye Jiayao was really starting to worry now.

Xia Chunyu pretended to have a headache: "Who made me promise you? I will help you no matter how troublesome the matter is."

Ye Jiayao wanted to be tough but she couldn't, and she pouted in frustration.

Xia Chunyu found it funny, and only then did she behave herself.

"You can go upstairs and live there peacefully. No one will come here." Xia Chunyu pointed towards the upper floor.

As soon as Ye Jiayao entered the room, she slumped in her chair and sighed depressedly.

If you don't mess with her, you'll be in trouble. Should you leave Jinling as soon as possible? But she hasn't waited for Jinrong yet. Or... wait a few years, and then go find Jinrong when the situation has changed? Anyway, it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

Ye Jiayao struggled with that person for a long time, then got up listlessly to wash her face.

Knock, knock, knock. Someone knocked on the door. Ye Jiayao thought it was the waiter delivering tea, so she said, "Come in."

But the person coming was Xia Chunyu.

"What are you doing here?" Ye Jiayao became alert. Could it be that he wanted to live here too?
Xia Chunyu put a package on the table: "Fresh hawthorn, which helps digestion, and some clean clothes."

Without waiting for Ye Jiayao to say anything, he walked away in a leisurely manner.

Ye Jiayao stared at the bag of hawthorns and the clothes, unable to tell what she felt. In fact, apart from that incident, Chunlu was very good to her. But it was that incident that hurt her heart and her self-esteem. She was afraid that once the wall of her heart that she had built with great difficulty collapsed, she would suffer even greater harm.

When Xia Chunyu left the inn, Song Qi was already waiting outside.

"I leave this to you. Make sure she's safe. You must stay close to her for the next few days. If there's anything unusual, report back immediately."

"Yes, Master, don't worry." Song Qi said solemnly. Although he didn't know what happened, the Master's expression was very serious, which was rare. Even when Prince Helian wanted to harm Miss Ye last time, the Master was not so worried.
