Chapter 219 - Don’t Acknowledge Me Anymore (1/2)

After everyone had taken a seat, Tu Xiupei looked around before calling the server. Then, in her confident hostess voice, she commanded, “Serve the food!”

The server looked at Feng Tianlan and saw her calmly sipping tea. He thought about what Luo Yunzhu had said and put on a fake smile. “No problem. Coming right up!”

Immediately after he responded, the server could feel a chilly stare from His Highness, which terrified him. With a tremble of his hands, he quickly scrambled downstairs. His Highness was way too scary.

Tu Xiupei saw how the server was suddenly so cooperative, and her head swelled with pride. Once all the dishes had been placed on the table, she stood up and said, “Thank you, everyone, for coming. Let me propose a toast to all of you.”

“Second Miss is really chivalrous. A knight among women!”

“That’s our Second Miss! The Spiritual Foods Restaurant has made an exception for her. Her phoenix destiny really sets her apart.”

“But isn’t today’s banquet…”

“Second Miss is the one treating us. Got it? If you don’t, then shut up.”

Tu Xiupei was enjoying all the bootlicking, and she shyly continued watching Xi Jin out of the corner of her eye as she went around the guests putting on a show of modesty.

Feng Tianlan continued to sip her tea quietly, but she could see Xiaoqing hanging around outside the window and calling out softly from time to time. She stood up and walked over. Her body was just wide enough to block the window.

Feng Tianlan reached out through the window, and Xiaoqing immediately nuzzled its head in her direction and used its silver horn to gently rub her hand, as if it missed her terribly.

“Be good and follow Big Brother Jin. Don’t acknowledge me anymore.” Feng Tianlan gently stroked Xiaoqing’s fur. She could hear it whimper in protest, so she whispered, “Otherwise, I might not get the chance to make it out of here alive.”

Xiaoqing continued to protest and used its horn to keep prodding her hand. Xiaoqing seemed to be telling her that if she brought it along, it would protect her.
