Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 201 Dinner

Shen Jing nodded, then immediately turned around and left stiffly. He never thought that this boy would be a girl!

This usually outgoing man was usually unable to resist even slightly enthusiastic men, let alone now facing a woman who had been extremely enthusiastic towards him and whom he regarded as a man? He didn't even know what to do with his hands and feet.

Xiao Guoer didn't know what the Eighth Prince wanted to talk to her about, but at the moment she was in no mood to think about it or explore it.

Inexplicably, all the fear and uneasiness that she had felt before meeting the Eighth Prince disappeared, and was replaced by an attitude of "whatever, whatever happens."

When Xiao Guoer arrived at the Eighth Prince's courtyard, she did not go to the study, but was taken to the main hall by Shen Jing.

"I've met the prince."

Zhao Yunrong looked at the person in front of him and saw that although he had tidied up his appearance, his expression was still a little depressed.

Those big eyes, which always had a sly and bright look in them, now drooped listlessly, like pearls covered with a light-blocking veil.

If she had seen such a table of delicious food in the past, her eyes would have been shining brightly, not as indifferent as they are now.

Zhao Yunrong sat behind the Eight Immortals Table and sighed, "Come, sit down and have a meal with me."

Xiao Guoer suddenly realized that the Eighth Prince seemed a little unusual today, but she was in a daze and didn't want to take anything to heart. She just replied calmly, "Your Majesty, I have no appetite and don't want to eat."

Zhao Yunrong had never seen her so gloomy before. Even when she used to hide and shrink when she saw him, she was still lively, cute and full of vitality.

"You haven't eaten for a day, right? Even if you don't feel hungry, you should eat something."

When had he ever spoken so patiently, just to persuade people to eat? Unfortunately, the little girl did not appreciate it and still rejected his kindness.

"I really can't eat it."

Zhao Yunrong had never been rejected repeatedly, and he was not annoyed by such good intentions. He tapped the tabletop with his knuckles rhythmically, looking relaxed and confident that everything was under control. He said calmly, "Do you remember what we said in the cave at the bottom of the cliff?"

Seeing Xiao Guoer's puzzled look, Zhao Yunrong reminded her, "I asked you how you were going to repay me for saving your life. What did you say?"

Xiao Guo'er's slow brain recalled what happened not long ago, and replied: "I said I will do my best to serve the prince."

"Okay, now that you remember, you haven't eaten for the whole day. Are you planning to starve yourself to death? If you starve to death, how can you work for me?"

Xiao Guoer pouted her lips. Although she looked reluctant, she didn't say anything else and finally sat down.

Zhao Yunrong picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it on the bowl in front of her. "Try this. It's a famous Huaiyang dish. It tastes very good. You should like it. You don't feel hungry now, but it's just because you are too hungry and your stomach hasn't reacted yet."

Xiao Guoer mechanically picked up the chopsticks and picked up a crab meat steak from the bowl in front of her. The delicious taste instantly spread between her lips and tongue, and her taste buds awakened her memories.

Tang Jingchen had taken her to eat this famous Huaiyang dish several times and it was really delicious.

A crystal tear slid down from her lowered eyes without warning and fell silently into her bowl. She chewed the food in her mouth, her mind drifting away uncontrollably. She was almost unaware of the sudden tear that fell from her eyes, but Zhao Yunrong clearly caught that tear in his eyes.

Zhao Yunrong tightly gripped the chopsticks in his hand, his eyes fixed on her dazed look. He realized that she must be recalling her past with another man.

In front of him, he was like nothing, but was always thinking about another man. This was really a bad thing.

Zhao Yunrong put away the gloom that flashed across his eyes, took a deep breath, calmed down, picked up another light dish and put it in her bowl, and said calmly, "This one is not bad either, try it."

Xiao Guo'er was obedient and ate whatever he picked for her.

It was the first time that Zhao Yunrong served food to someone, but seeing her eat the food he picked for her bite by bite, he inexplicably felt a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

It was not until Zhao Yunrong saw that her eating speed had slowed down significantly and she had eaten a lot of every dish on the table that he stopped putting food into her bowl.

He was only busy picking food for her, watching her eat, but he hadn't filled his own stomach yet. At this time, he was already starving. It took him more than half an hour to wait for her, plus the time to serve her food, so he was already an hour late compared to his usual meal time.

Xiao Guoermu ate her food in a daze, and only put down her chopsticks when all the food in her bowl was finished and the man didn't add any new food.

She wanted to tell the Eighth Prince that she had finished eating and said goodbye and leave, but when she put down her bowl and chopsticks, she saw that the Eighth Prince was eating attentively.

Somehow, she suddenly couldn't say goodbye and leave.

And so she kept watching him eat until he had finished most of the food on the table.

Xiao Guo'er was in a daze, thinking that although he ate very fast, his eating manners were quite elegant. After all, he was a prince, so his manners were impeccable, and his noble temperament was everywhere, comparable to Tang Jingchen's eating manners.

Zhao Yunrong ate his meal under her gaze, seemingly relaxed and contented, not affected at all, and even ate one more bowl of rice than usual.

When he was finally full and had just put down his bowl and chopsticks, he heard her languid voice, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."

After Zhao Yunrong swallowed the last bite of food in his mouth, he picked up the teacup and rinsed his mouth. Then he looked at her and spoke slowly, "No hurry, the king has to go to race horses, you go and serve him."

"But Xiaomin is tired and wants to go back and rest."

Zhao Yunrong naturally didn't believe her words. He had slept all day and did nothing. What was there to be tired about?

"That day in the cave at the bottom of the cliff, you said that you would not find any excuses to refuse my orders in the future. But now you keep making excuses. Have you forgotten your promise?"

Xiao Guo'er complained in her heart, these were not words she said, you were the one who threatened to repay the favor and forced her to agree!

She moved her lips. Perhaps it was because the Eighth Prince was so powerful that she subconsciously knew that even if she continued to find excuses to refuse, it would only be a desperate resistance and the result would not change.

So she was too lazy to do this useless work, and just replied lazily and softly, "I haven't forgotten."

Zhao Yunrong stood up and pulled her out of the chair, and said as he walked out, "Since you haven't forgotten, let's go."
