Chapter 199 - This Was Clearly a Threat! (1/2)

“But…” Xiao Chen said, trailing off. Jing Yue, who had been tickled pink just a moment ago, suddenly went taut. ‘But? Why is there still a “but”?!’

Jing Yue swallowed and looked at Xiao Chen. “But? But what?” she asked warily.

“I’ll lend you the chef on one condition. You have to come to the Imperial Palace with me tomorrow,” Xiao Chen said lightly.

Jing Yue jumped all of a sudden. “What! Go to the Imperial Palace again?!” she shouted. The Imperial Palace was, without a single doubt, the place that Jing Yue hated the most.

Xiao Chen raised his brows disapprovingly.

“……What is it again this time?” Jing Yue’s shoulders sagged. Ugh, fine! I’ll go for the sake of my restaurant. It’s just the Imperial Palace, what’s the big deal?

“I want you to meet someone,” Xiao Chen said, narrowing his eyes slightly.

“Who?” Jing Yue asked. Xiao Chen put down the book in his hand and looked at Jing Yue. “You’ll know tomorrow. Now it’s time for bed.”

“Ugh! Why won’t you just tell me who it is? And I haven’t even agreed yet!” Jing Yue protested. The next thing she knew, Xiao Chen’s long arms reached out and pulled her into his arms. Xiao Chen’s flat voice sounded beside her ear. “Obey me if you still want to see your restaurant launch.”

“…” At this moment, Jing Yue’s frustrations and feelings of powerlessness nearly drove her to tears. You call this a discussion? Seriously?

This was clearly a threat!
