Chapter 224 (1/2)

Rumours (2)

“What? Did he escape AGAIN? Whatever. Look for him!” said Princess Longji to her subordinates, furrowing her brows. These subordinates were her private mercenary group.

“Yes, Ma’am!!”

Looks like Princess Longji and the rest finally noticed the child’s absence. And from her tone, it wasn’t the first time he’d slipped away.

However, how could a child leave without a trace under such intense supervision? Was the child who we think it is?

Ye Lang’s no child though, he just shrank. How could he be called a child?

When this child was eating a bowl of fish ball thick noodles, the noodles stall was suddenly surrounded by Princess Longji’s mercenary group. They didn’t do anything to him though, it was only protection--or supervision.

They were waiting-- for Princess Longji!!

The child looked around him, but he didn’t care. He continued slurping his noodles. At his table, there was another tiny human eating with him.

That tiny human looked like Coldblood Five…

Why was Coldblood Five with the child? Where was Ye Lang?

“You little troublemaker, I’m warning you! If you slip away again, I’ll spank you!!”

Very soon, Princess Longji arrived. She roared at the child, then sat next to him and said---

“Boss, give me a bowl of noodles too!!”

“...”

At this point, the owner of the noodles stall was in a state of shock. He stood, not moving.

When the riders of the mercenary group surrounded the stall, he was already panicking. He thought he’d accidentally offended someone, or done something he wasn’t supposed to do. Soon after, he realised the riders were only there to surround the stall. They weren’t doing anything.

He was very confused, he didn’t understand what the riders were here for. If they were here to cause trouble, then they would’ve done something already!

All his customers had left save for one child. The owner thought it might be because the child was too young to understand, that was why he didn’t leave. As for himself, he couldn’t do much either. What would happen to his stall if he left?!

He’d attempted to ask the riders. He asked them what they were doing but all he got was silence. Everyone ignored him!

Upon seeing this, he naturally stood aside quietly without further questioning their duty. He didn’t want to attract trouble to himself.

When the owner saw Princess Longji, he thought it was HIS moment. O Princess Longji, she had many admirers- and the owner was one of them.

Although there was obviously a huge gap between them, some people tend to ignore this point. So many people would imagine themselves as the lucky white knight!!

Of course, this daydream only lasted a moment for Princess Longji’s reaction showed that the ‘child’ he’d forgotten about was the real star of the show!!

And with the gossips going around, the owner started to suspect. Were the rumours true? Did Princess Longji really have a bastard son?

This was a knife to his heart!!

And when Princess Longji sat down to order, his mind couldn’t stop spinning. As a commoner, he knew that she wouldn’t usually eat food outside, especially commoner’s noodles like the food he cooked.
