Chapter 278: Suddenly Departure (1/2)

“I arranged an appointment with His First Highness today. It isn’t nice to interrupt our meeting...” Bai Luochu might be complaining, but she poured a cup of tea for Pei Qingfeng.

“Hey, why does it matter. We brothers don’t hold any grudge against each other. It’s just a meal, why does it matter? Unless the two of you have a secret you are keeping from me...” Pei Qingfeng asked Bai Luochu in return.

Bai Luochu practically flipped as she quickly denied the possibility. “Nonsense! How can I share my secret with His First Highness?” Bai Luochu didn’t know why she yelled. She simply didn’t want Pei Qingfeng to misunderstand the relationship between herself and Pei Rumo.

When Pei Qingfeng saw how Bai Luochu was in a hurry to draw a clear line between herself and Pei Rumo, he was very happy. He immediately drank all the tea that Bai Luochu had poured for him. He felt that he was drinking a cup of honey instead of tea.

The two of them didn’t speak until Pei Rumo made his appearance.

Originally, Pei Rumo had a smile on his face. When he saw that Pei Qingfeng was also present, the smile on his face froze. “Why are you here?”

Pei Qingfeng smiled as though he was a cat who successfully stole a fish. He replied to Pei Rumo, “I raised my head when walking past and saw Luoluo sitting in the room. I came up to take a break. Since no one is going to accompany me for a meal in my residence, I might as well leech on First Brother’s generosity to bum a meal. I don’t think Your First Highness would be so stingy as to refuse to feed your own brother, right?”

Pei Rumo looked at Bai Luochu and noticed that she wasn’t intending to chase Pei Qingfeng out. He understood that Pei Qingfeng could act so arrogantly as Bai Luochu had given her silent approval.

Pei Qingfeng’s speech was amazing and he even rendered Pei Rumo speechless. He had no choice but to readily consent, “Of course I don’t mind treating my Second Brother to lunch. However, you should eat slowly and not choke on the food.” Pei Rumo ground his teeth as he spoke to Pei Qingfeng.

Pei Qingfeng pretended to completely ignore Pei Rumo and he beamed, “Your First Highness… please be at ease! Sit down and order the dishes first.”

Pei Rumo almost erupted in anger. However, it was a rare occasion for Bai Luochu to invite him for a meal. Rather than missing this opportunity, why shouldn’t he endure it and finish this meal?

When it was time to order the food, Pei Rumo felt as though there was a ball of rage burning in his stomach as he wasn’t able to touch the menu. Pei Qingfeng ordered a dozen dishes at once and they were all Bai Luochu’s favorites. Pei Qingfeng then asked Pei Rumo, “Does First Brother want anything else?”

Pei Rumo was unable to challenge his second brother and he quickly agreed with Pei Qingfeng’s choice.

Pei Rumo felt disgust for his second brother for the first time. This guy seems to have forgotten everything Teacher has taught! What an uncultured swine!

As Pei Qingfeng was picking vegetables for Bai Luochu, he took a casual glance out of the room. He noticed someone who shouldn’t be there and immediately recognized the person. “Why are they here?”
