Chapter 220 - Reciprocal Present (2/2)

“Fetch me 10 pieces of high-grade magnet.i.te.” The child poked the squirrel’s rotund body.

Chirpy made a sound in response and jumped into the Heart of Paradise. It swiftly came back out with 10 pieces of magnet.i.te in its arms.

The child put away the Heart of Paradise while she was at it.

After the squirrel skillfully peeled the sh.e.l.ls of the 10 pieces of magnet.i.te, it chirped twice at Qiao Mu.

The crown prince was staring blankly at them and did not recover his wits until the child pushed the pieces of magnet.i.te into his arms. His exquisite face looked to be s.h.i.+ning as he said with a smile, “They are all… for me?”

The child expressionlessly nodded.

“Qiaoqiao is too wonderful.” The crown prince leaned closer to her with a grin.

‘Isn’t this a bit too close?!’ Qiao Mu’s eyes widened as his handsome face continued to enlarge in front of her eyes.

Until…

A light kiss landed on her forehead. It was gentle like a light breeze, slowly drifting past her.

“A reciprocal present for Qiaoqiao,” the crown prince said earnestly. Before the child could react, he had already carried the bewildered child out of the storeroom.

‘That seems… really fishy!’ Four words floated past in Qiao Mu’s mind.

He gifted her with a pile of things, so she gave him high-grade magnet.i.te in return.

Very strange, wasn’t it even now? But then, he quickly returned another present to her…

‘Didn’t he… return too many gifts?’

Thinking on it, the youth seemed to have suffered a loss. Hence, Qiao Mu dug out a few storage talismans from her pocket to give to him. “For you to use.”

Hidden Flower, who was standing by the door, felt like his chin was about to drop to the floor.

Why did he feel like the child was so extravagant?!

What was stranger was that their lord actually… laid two kisses on the girl’s forehead like no one was present? He even solemnly asked, “Is this reciprocal present enough?”

The child was flabbergasted. ‘Huh? We aren’t even again?’

‘His Highness is so shameless!’ Hidden Flower touched his nose and thought despite not knowing what they were up to.

However, based on that child’s confounded appearance, she must have been tricked by His Highness…
