Chapter 433 - Princess is Jealous

Zhao Li Xin grumbles when he just returns home remind her of an ordinary office man who got home tired from work. Lory smiles as she fixed his favorite wine on the table. Zhao Li Xin's annoyance also reduces tremendously after he saw her pretty face. he suddenly though heated ridiculous, he never complains before he met Lory after he meets her he realizes he wants a lot of think and starts complaining when things didn't go his way, actually, it didn't feel so bad it means he has a lot of expectation for his life, Something he never felt before.

"Sit here!" Lory patted the stool next to her "Do you want to eat something?"

Zhao Li Xin flicks his robes before he takes a sit "A dumpling will be nice…" he pulls his sleeves for not hinder his movement then pour himself a cup of wine.

"Sure" in one swoosh the steaming bamboo basket appears on the table, carefully she opens the lit and the hot air hits his face and the tasty fragrant stimulates her appetite again although she just finishes her diner. With a chopstick, she put the dumpling on Zhao Li Xin plate and not forget her plate too.

"It's quite the celebration isn't it" Lory raised her eyebrow amusingly.

He moves smoothly as he pours vinegar on his dumpling "Nothing more than I expected…" he said calmly without a shred of excitement "The ginger please…"

"Oh, here" Lory adds pickles ginger on his plate.

"So much animosity, honestly I expected a brawl during the events" Lory chomp her dumpling feeling rather disappointed.

"Careful, don't get choked" he frowns while he nagged.

Lory ignores his nags while munching her food incessantly after she swallows her food she begins to speak again "You know I've been seen a few banquets with you but none of them is peaceful, there so many dramas and schemed it so excited!" Lory laughs in delight.

"I'm glad at least someone is enjoying the show" Zhao Li Xin chuckles then he takes an elegant bite on his dumpling. Lory doesn't know eating dumplings can be so…beautiful, she blamed herself for spending to much time with the brutes hunter than the high society. Thank god Fred is not here or he will make her do over her etiquette lesson.

"Why don't you eat?" Zhao Li Xin notices chopstick hangs in the air while she looking at him with a blank look. He suddenly worry then he put down his chopstick and gently put his palm on her forehead "You don't feel well?"

His warm hand snapped her back "No I'm good!" she sweetly smiles at him "Now you served Nan Yu Qi, is she told you to do anything for her?"

"She wants me to observe the Chen family" he casually said while he picks up his chopstick and continues with his feast "It seems Chen Hu Ying is having a secret meeting with someone in Nan family, she wants me to divulge this person identity?"

"Uhm.." she hummed but then she drops her chopstick on the table while pursed her lips "I don't like it!" she suddenly grumbles "I don't like it when you listened to other people order…. especially woman" she mutters the last words quietly.

Zhao Li Xin moves suddenly paused, he shifts his glance to the pouting girl next to him, something dawned to him and his mouth curved upward then he straightens his back "Are you…jealous?" his mood suddenly soar.

Lory narrowed her eyes "What, you don't like it?" she lifted her chin as she provoking him with a menacing gaze.

Lory might think she looks intimidating but in Zhao Li Xin eyes she looks extremely adorable just like an angry kitten, people said jealousy is the hard proof of someone loves you wholeheartedly so how could he not be overjoyed by it, Zhao Li Xin grinned widely "No, I like it, I like it very much!" he excitedly nods his head.

Lory feel more embarrassed when he acted this way, her face becomes awfully red like a boiling crab "Let's see if you still like it if I beat the crap out of you, you can only listen to me you know!" she pretends to be angry as she warn him sternly.

Zhao Li Xin can't hold it anymore he burst to laugh, he put down the chopstick and wipe his hand and mouth with a wet towel then he pulls Lory stool closer to him and wrapped his hand around his waist "You can hit me, kick me, or even stabs me, I will accept any punishment from you gladly, even if you rip my c.h.e.s.t and pull my heart away from my c.h.e.s.t, this Lord will never resist you" she smiles in indulgent while c.a.r.e.s.s her cheeks.

Lory was agape, that sound crazy but what make it crazier she was turned on by it. is that mean she is worst than Zhao Li Xin?

'Oh, Dear…'

Zhao Li Xin wakes up early because he feel responsible for over-indulgent his wife even with his own standard he wants to redeem himself and hopefully coaxed her so he prepares Lory warm bath and breakfast then diligently clean up the room from the remnant of they're wild night.

Lory was exhausted she not even open her eyelids when she activates Zhao Li Xin shapeshifter spell, Zhao Li Xin feel more guilty he wants to stay to accompany her but Lory shoves him away with one word 'Scram!'

Zhao Li Xin smiles awkwardly while leaving the room he feel remorse but satisfied inside, such a mixed feeling he didn't know what to do. he can only note himself to treat his wife even better in the future.

Meanwhile, Nan Yu Qi is in her manor garden she rests inside the pavilion while playing her Gu Qin, the gentle sweet melody floating in the air make one heart calm and peaceful. A maid walks toward her, she bows her head courteously before she speaks "Mister Lu is here, young miss" she announces mildly.

Nan Yu Qi stops her playing, her mouth curved faintly but then disappeared before anyone notices "Let him in" she said calmly.

"Yes, young miss!" the maids bow her head again then she left in a hurry.

Not long after a man with lavish bright orange and yellow robes enter the garden, Zhao Li Xin is given a new robe because now he is the inner disciple of sacred Mountain peak and also the personal servant of one of three noble families.

people who saw his robes would be green in envy and jealousy but for Zhao Li Xin he feel terribly upset for a dress like an ingot. Inside his head Zhao Li Xin reprimand himself

'This better to be worth it!'

Zhao Li Xin cupped his fist and bow his head respectfully "Young miss, what can I do for you" his words distant and formal just like normal subordinated whoever Nan yu Qi feel dejected.

"Is there no news from the Chen?" she asked.

"..."

'You just telling me last night, you Damn woman!' he secretly cursed her while quelling his anger.

"No, young miss" Zhao Li Xin replies curtly.

She realizes her question is absurd, she clears her throat awkwardly, and her maid quickly hands her a cup of tea. Nan yu Qi sip her tea to calm herself, she used to be a clear mind and elegant young lady but somehow in front of this man she ends acting foolishly.

Zhao Li Xin on the other compares this supposed to be a talented woman with his Princess and by far his princess is winning with flying colors. 

The two of them become awkwardly silent at least for Nan Yu Qi side because of Zhao Li Xin careless of what she thinking so with the placid look and indifferent gaze as if he unconcern with Nan Yu Qi existence and he does, Zhao Li Xin remain there unmoving like a piece of log.

The truth is Nan Yu Qi summoned Zhao Li Xin in a whim she didn't think thoroughly what would she said to him, she thought Zhao Li Xin would make a conversation just like any normal man but sadly Zhao Li Xin is far from normal, other than with Lory he doesn't have any interest to talk with other people not even to his close subordinated the four King palace and the Mong brothers.

Suddenly a maid making long strides across the garden towards them, she bows her head politely first then she speaks in haste "Young miss, Fourth master Xie is here" 

"Eh?" Nan Yu Qi was dumbfounded for a second but before she can collect himself a man with bright green robes and silver embroidery enter the room, the man is handsome and neat with silver Guan adorn his head, the man look dignified and charismatic.

"Brother Xie you here…" she greet with smiles, Nan yu Qi didn't know should she feel happy or sad with this situation.
