Chapter 175: Again and Again (1/2)

“If you are here to apologize, I accept your apology. His Second Highness has already handled everything. If there is nothing else, please leave. His Second Highness still has to rest and I have to take care of him.” Bai Luochu casually picked up a piece of thousand layer cake and stuffed it into her mouth. It was clear she was chasing him out.

It was obvious that Lu Wenshu didn’t want to leave, but he couldn’t shamelessly demand to stay. He quickly brushed Bai Luochu’s words aside and he acted as though he didn’t understand the meaning behind her words. “Is Divine Physician Bai still angry at me? It was unintentional and even His Majesty said it was fine.”

He is acting like this again. After all these years, he is still acting the same way... He just wants to patch up the problem with a fake apology.

Bai Luochu heard what Lu Wenshu said and she was instantly enraged. However, the smile on her face didn’t fade. She gnashed her teeth and said, “His Majesty is His Majesty. Apart from being a father, he is also an Emperor. Does Young Master Lu still not understand? His Majesty said it was fine in order to strengthen the relationship with you. He made use of your guilt in order to pull you closer. I am different. To me, His Second Highness is a close friend and I am the reason he got injured. How can I forgive the culprit so easily?”

“But...” When Lu Wenshu opened his mouth to protest, Bai Luochu slammed her palm on the stone table. She stormed up to him and glared into his eyes.

As they looked into each other’s eyes, Lu Wenshu felt his heart palpitate. Bai Luochu’s pretty looking lips moved as she clenched her jaw tightly, “Young Master Lu might feel that there isn’t a problem with that, but someone else suffered in your place.”

After speaking, Bai Luochu immediately increased the distance between them and spoke as if nothing happened.

“If Young Master Lu still wants to enjoy the snacks and tea, you may stay. If you feel that they are hard to swallow, you may leave. I still need to take care of the Second Prince and hope you can forgive me for being a bad host. Farewell.” Bai Luochu left without even turning around.

“Is he so important to you?” Lu Wenshu asked a question, causing Bai Luochu to stop in her tracks.

After thinking about the consequences, Bai Luochu thought that she should sever all his delusions. She casually replied him with a single word, “Yes.” Before walking out.

Her reply sounded like a clap of thunder in his ear.

Lu Wenshu suddenly felt that the breeze was chilly and so was his heart,

Lu Wenshu sat in the reception pavilion for a long time and he only left after the sun was about to dip past the horizon.

If a single visit doesn’t work, I will come again. If two visits won’t work, I’ll come for a third time. One day, you will belong to me again!

“What’s wrong? Are you ill?” Pei Qingfeng asked with concern.

Bai Luochu shook her head and explained, “It might just be a cold. I’ll drink some warm water.”
