Chapter 209.2: The Ideal Life (2/2)
Just being able to watch her eat was already very satisfying!
“Hey, why aren’t you eating?” Tang Doudou only noticed after quite a while that Jun Xin had already put down his chopsticks and was staring at her without a word. She touched her face as she asked, “Is there something on me?”
She was more puzzled than she appeared. After all, it was not the first time that Jun Xin had acted like this!
Could it be that he was still keeping some important information from her?
Just as she was thinking through the possibilities, she heard Jun Xin sneer at her as he said, “Could it be that no one has ever expressed disgust towards your table manners? They’re seriously too terrible to look at!”
Tang Doudou was speechless. She shot him a fierce glare, then paid him no more attention. She decided to eat her fill first. All she had eaten today was some of the pastries on the palanquin, and that was when she headed out early this morning. It was almost night now, so she was starved to the point where it felt like her chest was sticking to her back.
“Someone come! Catch those thieves!” Tang Doudou was immersed in eating, and Jun Xin was engrossed in watching, when suddenly, a blood-curdling screech came from the entrance of the kitchen.
Crap, they had been discovered!
Tang Doudou hastily threw away the chopsticks, stuffed another drumstick in her mouth, then pulled Jun Xin along to run towards the door.
“Stop!” That person was trembling, but still stood in front of the door to block them.
Tang Doudou couldn’t be bothered to stop and try to reason with him. She had no desire for tomorrow’s headlines in Cloud City to be: The Young City Lord pilfered food and was caught red-handed!
Tang Doudou picked up the stick nearby and said menacingly, “Move aside, or I’ll beat you!”
Her fierce manner frightened that person into taking a step back, which left a gap in the doorway.
Upon seeing this, Tang Doudou laughed ‘hehe,’ then shoved the banknotes she had tucked away into that person’s hands. “Money for the meal, money for the meal!”
Then she pulled Jun Xin and ran off!
“Money for the meal?” That person was left to stare blankly at the papers in his hand, then he threw them angrily on the floor!
He exclaimed indignantly, “As the grand Young City Lord, you actually brought someone here to break into someone’s house and steal food!? It’s intolerable!”
