Chapter 123

“Xi Que.”

The moment he went downstairs, Pei Siyan immediately called Xi Que.

“Yes.”

Xi Que was like a ghost; she just quietly appeared in the hall, looking down and waiting.

Seeing Xi Que was still there, Jiang Sheng looked at her in surprise and then frowned.

Noticing Jiang Sheng’s eyes, Xi Que looked up and just stared at him directly.

‘Jiang Sheng? Or, master?’

Xi Que was puzzled.

“Get me two bowls of plain noodles.” Pei Siyan ordered.

“Yes.”

Xi Que left with the order. When she was about to walk away, she suddenly asked Jiang Sheng, “Mrs. Pei, would you like eggs in it?”

“I don’t see why not!”

His voice was obviously cold and so was the way he looked at Xi Que.

‘He’s not my master. My master doesn’t like to eat eggs.’

“Understood.” Xi Que turned to the kitchen coldly, ignoring Jiang Sheng’s coldness.

‘After waiting for a month, Jiang Sheng turns out to be the one who woke up.

The legendary most powerful vampire seems to just be a bluff.’

Xi Que’s words seemed to be disdainful.

Xi Que had only met Lan Yuan several times when she was born.

She was not very familiar with him.

Her grandpa and father treated Lan Yuan as a god, so she was just following the orders to protect him. As a matter of fact, she didn’t have any affection for him at all.

Moreover, she hated her immortal body very much. After centuries of life as an immortal, her friends were all dead, leaving her alone. She was already numb about all these.

Therefore, from a certain time, she had lost her expression, and she became the person whom his grandfather and father wanted, someone loyal to Lan Yuan.

“By the way, how long have I slept?”

Jiang Sheng asked Pei Siyan after being put down on the sofa in the hall.

“A month.”

“Puff. A month?”

Jiang Sheng was shocked. He thought he was in a coma for a week max.

‘No wonder when I woke up, Pei Siyan was acting like he couldn’t believe it and hugged me so hard that it hurt.’

“I’ll go upstairs to get my laptop. I have some work to be done. Wait here for me, will you?”

Pei Siyan stroked Jiang Sheng’s hair and kissed him before leaving.

“Okay.”

Jiang Sheng listened to Pei Siyan obediently and turned on the TV to watch.

After watching TV for a while, he suddenly remembered the magic fish.

“Where is my stupid magic pet? It can’t be grilled by Pei Siyan during the time I was in a coma, right?”

Jiang Sheng looked around, but there was no trace of the magic fish.

Usually, whenever he was around, the magic fish would be so excited. Although he couldn’t understand what the magic fish was saying, he could still tell it was very happy.

“Forget it, it will find its way here early tomorrow! If it has not been eaten.”

Jiang Sheng said this with no conscience.

After being seated for a while, he looked at the kitchen and went to Xi Que with a touch of anger.

Seeing Jiang Sheng came in, Xi Que nodded politely, then ignored him, turned on the stove and started to cook noodles.

Jiang Sheng frowned even harder. He asked Xi Que coldly, “You work for Lan Yuan, right?”

‘She must be Lan Yuan’s subordinate, otherwise why would she not let me tell Pei Siyan about her?’

Xi Que, who had her back against Jiang Sheng, only paused a little while. Her expression didn’t change much.

She replied calmly, “Whatever you say.”

She clearly wasn’t going to answer Jiang Sheng’s question.

“Fine, I’ll take it as your acquiescence.”

Xi Que didn’t expect Jiang Sheng to be so sure. Finally, she turned around and looked at Jiang Sheng, but said nothing.

Jiang Sheng suddenly felt it a little funny, because Xi Que had taken him as a dummy.

“Do I look that stupid to you?” Jiang Sheng sneered, his eyes filled with danger.
