CHAPTER 430 (1): EMPTY AND DESOLATE

When Prince Hao returned to the Prince Hao Residence, he felt his heart ache upon finding Su Xi-er sitting and waiting for him to have dinner together. He immediately went forward and grabbed her hand, saying, “When this Prince is away, you should eat first. You don’t have to wait for this Prince when it’s mealtime; your body is thin enough as it is.”

He then scooped some yam soup into a bowl before handing it to her. “Drink this to nourish your body.”

Su Xi-er took the bowl and smiled. “My body is in good condition, and I already ate with Ruo Yuan and Hong Li while you were gone. I’m only waiting for you now because I got hungry again.”

Pei Qianhao nodded before muttering, “It looks like moving more is also a good thing. That way, you’ll be able to eat more.” He then put some meat and vegetables on her plate.

Su Xi-er initially didn’t understand what he was implying by ‘moving more’. Only after they finished their dinner and washed up did she realise what he was referring to!

Seeing his devilish gaze, Su Xi-er immediately protested, “Tonight won’t do. Let me rest. Who does it three times in a day?”

“This Prince learned that thrice a day is considered little. Besides, this Prince has held it in for 25 years.”

Su Xi-er glanced at him. “Don’t talk to me about the 25 years.”

Pei Qianhao walked forward and picked her up bridal style before she could say anything, setting her down on the soft bed before his own tall figure pressed down on her. “Xi-er.” His voice was slow and soft, and it sounded like he was trying to please her.

She looked at him, feeling that he was beginning to look more and more like a child who was denied their sweets. She helplessly raised a hand to rap his head lightly. “You need to be gentler; otherwise, you won’t be able to keep doing as you wish.”
