CHAPTER 43: CHAPTER 41: ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT ME?

But Yun Ran still didn’t know.

She squatted in front of Nangong Mo, staring at his leg, her voice soft and full of flattery as she said:

"My Lord, the sun is so nice today! A perfect day for a nap! Are you feeling sleepy? How about I push you back for a little rest?"

Nangong Mo’s eyelids lowered slightly, looking at her impassively.

Heh...

This cheeky girl really has an ulterior motive!

With a slight curl of his lips, he mocked mercilessly, "Lin Wanyue, you think I’m like you, eating and then sleeping all the time?"

Yun Ran: "..."

[Why is he making personal attacks? So not adorable!]

"My Lord, as the saying goes, in spring we grow, in summer we thrive, in autumn we harvest, and in winter we store. In winter, one must sleep more to conserve energy so that in the coming spring, you’ll be full of vitality and feel great~"

"Then why don’t I dig a pit and bury you, and dig you up next spring?"

Yun Ran: "..."

[Listen, is that human language? Where’s the human compassion? Did a wolf carry it away?]

[If this were at our sect, his head would have been bashed in.]

Nangong Mo raised an eyebrow indiscernibly. Their sect? What kind of place? So barbaric!

Then he saw the young woman give a sunny yet sardonic smile, speaking insincerely:

"My Lord, you are so humorous! I’m not a radish, how could I be buried! If you don’t want to nap, we’ll skip it then!"

[Hmph~ I bet you won’t skip sleep tonight, and I’ll just watch you and relish it!]

Nangong Mo: "..."

Still scheming, she’s really a bit of a headache...

"But my Lord, I heard today that Glutton’s father went to the emperor to complain. Do you have anything to worry about?"

The man’s brow raised slightly, with a half-smile, "Are you worried about me?"

"No... Isn’t this all because of me? If anything happened to you, I’d feel guilty!"

Just after Yun Ran finished speaking, she heard the man let out a cold laugh, his tone indescribably chilly and sinister:

"After all, I’m a prince. If they kill anyone, it would be you, the little wildcat with claws outstretched."

Yun Ran: "..."

Nangong Mo, you’re going too far!

"Rather than worrying about this and that, why not think about how to make me happy, so you could seek my protection."

"..."

Yun Ran looked at the man in front of her with a face too handsome to bear, gritted her teeth, holding back the urge to slap him, and forcefully squeezed out a smile:

"My Lord, it’s almost mealtime now, how about I push you back!"

[If I stay any longer, I’m really afraid I won’t be able to resist a kick! The empress dowager is much more pleasant to look at!]

"Lin Wanyue, are you a glutton? All you think about is eating."

Yun Ran: "..."

Phew! Calm down! One shouldn’t stoop to argue with a dog!

...

Lunch was even more sumptuous than breakfast, and the empress dowager specifically had someone make soup, and personally served a bowl to Nangong Mo.

With a kindly and friendly smile, she looked at him expectantly, "Jiulang, come, have a bowl of soup to warm you up.

This soup, your imperial grandmother had someone simmer it all morning, it’s really delicious!"

Nangong Mo looked at the empress dowager’s overly bright smile, glanced over the soup bowl, and furrowed his brows slightly.

Politely declined, "Imperial grandmother, let’s put it aside for now, I’ll drink it later after eating."

"No, this soup must be drunk before meals to be absorbed well. It’s your imperial grandmother’s effort for half a day, can you bear to let her down?"

Nangong Mo: "..."

What kind of soup, it has to be drunk before meals to be absorbed?

Seeing he still wouldn’t drink, the empress dowager gave a slight snort, "Do you want the girl to feed you?

Yue, come, take on the hardship and feed this spoiled brat."

Nangong Mo: "???"

The man’s handsome face turned black as a pot’s bottom instantly: Spoiled brat? Who are you talking about?!

Yun Ran, however, promptly stood up, took the bowl from the empress dowager’s hand, "Ah, it’s no trouble, give it to me, imperial grandmother."

Nangong Mo: "..."
