Chapter 125: Second World: How To Get Off An Omegas Blacklist (1/2)

Wen Qinxi flung the door open wondering if Mama Qie was lost, Zhao royal family pavilion was in the opposite direction. From the character's memory, Zhao Xieshu and Mama Qie didn't see eye to eye. To be more exact Zhao Xieshu tried to get on her good side to win Qie Ranzhe's heart and get her blessing but Mama Qie was so cold to him that the omega was forced to give up. Now she had somehow stumbled upon his door patiently waiting for him.

He couldn't help but wonder if she came to rebuke him and play out some scene from a dog blood drama offering him millions to stay away from the Marshal. The old him might have been tempted to take her offer though unethical. Whatever the reason for this unannounced visit he opened the door with a fixed smile welcoming her inside not forgetting to guard against her.

He politely greeted her before serving her a hot cup of aromatic tea as this was the only tea he could find in the kitchen. After five minutes of brewing, Wen Qinxi placed the tray on the table before carefully pouring some into her teacup. The familiar scent astonished her, this was her favourite tea she drank every single day. Was it only a coincidence that Zhao Xieshu had this in his kitchen or was it fate?

Using a roundabout method, she asked, "Is this your favourite tea as well," before taking a sip with an elated smile. That smile sent chills down Wen Qinxi spine as he casually replied,

"No, I don't drink tea. I prefer coffee."

Mama Qie was vexed by his answer inquiring further. "Then why do you.....," she asked but paused unable to resist taking another sip. Naturally, Wen Qinxi knew why that tea was in his kitchen. This character was infatuated with Qie Ranzhe so much that he made it a priority to learn the Qie family habits so he could curry favour in the future but of course, Wen Qinxi didn't plan on mentioning this to her.

"Oh, I casually bought it just in case if l had guests. I guess it was a good decision then," said Wen Qinxi sipping warm water as the hangover effects crept up on him once more.

She accepted his answer looking around this small yet beautiful pavilion that was extremely homey. She had visited the Emperor's pavilion where the entire royal family resided excluding Zhao Xieshu. It was ten times bigger with expensive decorum but it wasn't as warm and cosy as Zhao Xieshu's pavilion."Oh, l almost forgot," she said gently pushing a bento towards Wen Qinxi, "Ran-er asked me to make you some clear noddle soup. It's good for hangovers."

Wen Qinxi had caught a glimpse of the bento when she walked in but never thought in a million years that it was meant for him. A warm fuzzy feeling spread all over his chest finding this overbearing CEO was rather cute.

"Thank you," he said opening the lid with a beaming smile. The mouthwatering scent had him salivating but he had exercise restraint and reserve it for when she leaves otherwise he will embarrass himself eating like a gluttonous pig. Mama Qie didn't question why he wasn't eating happily enjoying her tea without a care in the world. It was only when she was gratified did she notice Zhao Xieshu had no attendant bots. This was extremely peculiar considering the palace had server bots in abundance yet the prince had not a single one so she asked, "Why don't you have server bots? Do you do everything by yourself?"

"I make my own meals and have cleaning bots come in every day....Forgive me for being blunt but did you come all the way just to give me the bento? I truly appreciate it but feel horrible if this is the only reason you came. I have troubled you Auntie Qie," he said with a meaningful expression but Mama Qie gently patted his hand saying,

"It's no trouble. I also came to ask you something important," her soothing tone so motherly reminding Wen Qinxi of his own mother, "I hope I am not overstepping my bounds but l just wanted to ask you what you think of my son?"

Wen Qinxi almost spat out the mouthful of water. He would have been better off spitting it out as he choked instead to the point of violently coughing. 'What the fuck?' he thought with his watery eyes scrutinising Mama Qie. The motherly omega rubbed his back in a comforting manner. What happened? Wasn't Zhao Xieshu in her eyes a frivolous prince with no dignity and an embarrassment to the entire universe? Why the change in heart?

"Ahem....uhm.....well, why.....uhm....the sudden change?" he hesitantly asked his heart unwilling to let this woman off lightly.

Mama Qie's face turned pale ashamed and apologetic, "I was wrong for judging your lifestyle and believed what others had to say about you. I am sorry and hope you can forgive me someday."
