Chapter 257: An Unexpected Invitation (1/2)
Ming Lu brought over a wooden stool and handed Pei Qingfeng a bowl of rice. “Your Second Highness, this servant has brought out a chair for you. Please take a seat.”
Pei Qingfeng felt extremely awkward that his seat was beside Pei Rumo and instructed Ming Lu, “I want to sit beside Luoluo.”
Ming Lu felt that the Second Prince was purposely making things difficult for him. At this point, he had no choice but to look to his master for help. Pei Rumo nodded his head in helplessness and hoped that he could at least have a good dinner. If he were to disagree, he was afraid that Pei Qingfeng would cause even more trouble.
When he saw his master nodding, Ming Lu quickly brought the chair over to Bai Luochu. He gestured to Pei Qingfeng, “Your Second Highness, you can take a seat now.”
Other than Pei Qingfeng who was enjoying his meal, the other two couldn’t wait to end the dinner. They hated that they only had one mouth and had to eat while listening to Pei Qingfeng’s noisy chatter.
“Luoluo, try this dish, it’s amazing!” Pei Qingfeng picked up a piece with his chopsticks and placed it into Bai Luochu’s bowl.
In the end, Pei Rumo was unable to converse with Bai Luochu as he was interrupted by Pei Qingfeng at every turn.
“I am full now, you can stop giving me food.” Bai Luochu told Pei Qingfeng.
Throughout the dinner, whenever Bai Luochu ate the same dish twice, Pei Qingfeng would load her plate with more of it. Bai Luochu probably finished half the table on her own.
Bai Luochu made her way back to the general’s residence once she understood that it was impossible to discuss anything with Pei Rumo. Since Pei Qingfeng had no reason to stay, he left the First Prince’s residence as soon as he could.today.
After Pei Qingfeng left, Pei Rumo scolded himself, “I can’t believe Pei Qingfeng! As long as Luo Chu is involved, he acts like he is under a spell. I wonder where all his teachings went…”
Ming Lu understood his master’s temper and secretly thought, “Master cares alot about Young Lady Luo Chu as well. It was understandable when she was worth roping in. However, he still cares a lot about her.” Ming Lu was very much baffled by his master’s attitude.
Of course, Ming Lu kept those words to himself. If Pei Rumo were to hear him, he would be in deep trouble no matter how much Pei Rumo liked him.
