Chapter 530 I Want to Eat Longevity Noodles
When Shao Yanru came, Shao Wanru and Chu Liuchen were sitting opposite on the mat. Qu Le stepped back to the door after serving tea. Xiao Xuanzi stood beside her with a smile, looking quite amiable.
âWhy are you here, Your Highness?â Shao Wanru looked Chu Liuchen up and down and asked in confusion.
âBecause I want to come here!â Chu Liuchen raised his pretty eyes and said inadvertently.
âYour Highness, didnât you sayâŠâ Came now a cautious inquiry from Shao Wanru.
Before she finished her words, they heard Qu Leâs voice from the door, âI pay you my respects, First Miss!â
She slowly closed her cherry mouth and shifted her gaze from Chu Liuchen to the door.
âHas your master got up?â Shao Yanru said gently in a soft and pleasant voice.
âMy master has got up, butâŠâ Qu Le seemed to intend to stop her from entering the room, but Shao Yanru interrupted her gently, âThatâs good. Iâm going inside to see her!â
Shao Yanru showed up at the door. Seeing Chu Liuchen, she seemed to be stunned for a moment and then walked in gracefully.
âI pay you my respects, Your Highness!â Shao Yanru walked up to Chu Liuchen and bowed sideways to him respectfully. She couldnât stand steadily at the moment because of her foot injury and almost fell. Shuqi nimbly held her so that she didnât fall.
Shao Yanru blushed and gently pushed Shuqi, seeming to feel ashamed of her indiscreet behavior, but she didnât explain it.
âWhatâs the matter, First Miss Shao?â Chu Liuchen looked up at Shao Yanru and asked indifferently, as if he didnât notice Shao Yanruâs gentle and restrained look.
âI come to see Fifth Sister and didnât expect you are here.â Shao Yanru lowered her head and said with a reddish face.
âI am tired, so I come here to ask for a cup of tea from my cousin!â Chu Liuchen said. He picked up the teacup at his hand, put it down slowly after taking a sip, and then gave Shao Yanru a sidelong glance.
Shao Wanru was Ruiâan Great Elder Princessâ granddaughter, so she could certainly be considered Chu Liuchenâs cousin. Nevertheless, this topic inevitably reminded Shao Yanru of her childhood. At that time, how she wished she were Ruiâan Great Elder Princessâs biological granddaughter!
The room fell silent strangely. Shao Yanru stood there in embarrassment for a long while. Seeing that the two of them did not speak, she had to make her farewells softly.
Chu Liuchen waved his hand, and Shao Yanru left with a flushed face. After getting out of the room, she almost failed to hold back the anger in her heart.
Shao Wanru just sat there casually without saying anything, as if she were just an ordinary maid.
Clenching her teeth, she suppressed the anger in her, put on a gentle look, smiled gently at Xiao Xuanzi at the door, and then left slowly with the help of Shuqi.
He was just a sickly prince. Even if he was the best-looking, it was meaningless. He couldnât compare with the glory and wealth she was about to getâŠ
Shao Wanru was just lucky to be Ruiâan Great Elder Princessâs granddaughter. If she was Ruiâan Great Elder Princessâs granddaughter, she would be the princesâ cousin. But although she wasnât their cousin, it was no big deal. Prince Yue and Prince Zhou still felt extraordinarily tender and protective toward her.
âKeep an eye on them.â After walking into the room, Shao Yanru let go of Shuqiâs hand, and instructed Shuqi after walking a few steps steadily.
Wasnât Prince Chen even too sick to get up? Why did he come up the mountain and happen to come to Shao Wanruâs courtyard? Was it really a coincidence? She was inexplicably angry, and her eyes became gloomyâŠ
âCousin?â Shao Wanru said with a smile after Shao Yanru left.
âDonât you think so, Zhuozhuo?â Chu Liuchen squinted his eyes and said leisurely. Then he swayed his chin toward the teacup in front of him and said naturally, âI am thirsty. Fill my cup!â
âYour Highness, why donât you drink tea in your own mansion?â Although Shao Wanru reached out to fill his cup, she said impatiently.
âOf course I want more than a cup of tea. Iâm hungry until now, so I especially come here to ask for a bowl of longevity noodles. I heard that the noodles here are great!â
After picking up the cup and taking a sip, Chu Liuchen pretended to be lost in contemplation and said.
âYour Highness, arenât you afraid that it will be discovered?â Shao Wanru was not as patient as him. She gave him a hard look and said. He came and went so frequently that she was afraid that it would be discovered.
Moreover, he usually came here secretly, but this time he came here openly without being afraid of arousing othersâ suspicion. Shao Yanru in the next room obviously came here to inquire about it just now.
Seeing that Shao Yanru was driven away by Chu Liuchen relentlessly, Shao Wanru felt inexplicably delighted.
âI have nothing to be afraid of. Iâve visited Imperial Grandmother before coming here,â Chu Liuchen said lazily, leaned back again and stretched out his hand to support his head, looking extremely lazy.
However, Shao Wanru took a deep breath and asked in astonishment, âYour Highness, have you told the Empress Dowager about it?â
âCanât I tell her? At that time, in view of the fact that you were going to come up the mountain to observe mourning for your parents, it was inappropriate for you to get engaged with me. Now since you are going down the mountain, I donât have to avoid meeting you!â Chu Liuchen gave her a sidelong glance and said slowly.
Shao Wanru felt flustered. Seeing him take it for granted, she didnât know what to say and only felt confused.
âZhuozhuo, do you mean that I donât need to tell Imperial Grandmother about it? Not only Imperial Grandmother but also Ruiâan Great Elder Princess know about our relationship!â Chu Liuchen said with a snort in displeasure. He reached out to grab Shao Wanruâs slender hand, making her almost run into the table and lie prone on the mat.
Feeling her hand held by Chu Liuchen and bitten hard by him, Shao Wanru couldnât help screaming in pain and bursting into tears.
âYour Highness, how⊠how can you bite meâŠâ Shao Wanru complained in an injured tone with a puckered mouth.
âWhy canât I do that? I will eat you once I get angry!â Looking at the bite mark on the back of Shao Wanruâs white hand, Chu Liuchen said complacently.
âYour Highness, you should mind your behavior as a Prince!â Shao Wanru said. She felt that she was calm, otherwise she would bite him too.
âZhuozhuo, I am your fiance, right? I can certainly come to visit my fiancee without being stealthy!â Chu Liuchen said inadvertently.
Shao Wanru swallowed and looked at the door with a flushed face. She did not know when the door had been half closed and Qu Le and Xiao Xuanzi had left.
âYour Highness, did you tell the Empress Dowager that you were coming to see me?â Shao Wanru asked, letting out a sigh of relief in her heart. Despite her flushed face, she didnât look nervous as before.
âOf course. I struggled to come up the mountain to celebrate your birthday. Otherwise, I wouldnât have to do this!â Seeing Shao Wanruâs delicate facial features tangled, Chu Liuchen became joyful. So he stopped torturing her, just held her hand in his big hand, turned around lazily and said.
âYour Highness, are you not afraid of it being discovered?â Shao Wanru asked worriedly.
âWhatâs wrong with me wanting to marry you? They wonât allow me to do that?â Chu Liuchen squinted at Shao Wanru and said discontentedly.
âYour Highness, didnât you mean that you wanted to make me your cover because you didnât want to get married?â Shao Wanru tried hard to suppress the shock in her heart, opened her eyes wide to look at him and asked.
âAre you not my cover after marrying me? Donât you really want to be my cover? Do you want to marry someone else?â Chu Liuchen said in an unkind tone.
Shao Wanru had never thought about marrying someone else. Since her rebirth, she had been tied to Chu Liuchen. Shao Wanru had never thought about it, so she immediately shook her head and said, âYour Highness, you really think too much. How could it be possible!â
âSince itâs impossible, just stop asking. You just need to marry into my mansion when the time comes. Or are you not satisfied with me?â Chu Liuchen said. He loosened his grip and raised Shao Wanruâs hand so that she could clearly see the bite mark on the back of her hand.
âYour Highness, what are you talking about? Since you have your plan, Iâll do as you ask!â Shao Wanru said helplessly. She was a little flustered and a little confused, or had some other feelings. But she could not figure them out for a while. She subconsciously wanted to clench her fists, but she failed to do that because one of her hands was firmly held by Chu Liuchen.
âAfter I come to see you this time, it will be convenient for me to come here in future. Itâs inconvenient for me to come here in the middle of the night,â Chu Liuchen said naturally, as if it was Shao Wanru who always asked him to come here in the middle of the night.
Shao Wanru felt ashamed and angry. For a moment, she almost lost control of herself and intended to push Chu Liuchen away. However, he seemed to be unaware of this, still held Shao Wanruâs hand and said with deep feeling.
âNo one asked you to come in the middle of the night!â Shao Wanru said impatiently. Anyway, there was no one else in the room, so she did not need to be too punctilious.
âZhuozhuo, arenât you the reason why I climbed over the wall in the middle of the night?â Chu Liuchen opened his eyes wide and said with a smile. Seeing Shao Wanru in front of him look like an annoyed little beast, he only found it interesting.
Since she was going to marry him, there was no way of letting her go!
As a cover, she should cover up something for him!
âYour Highness!â Shao Wanru said, about to become angry from embarrassment. She glared at Chu Liuchen with shame and annoyance and unconsciously raised her voice.
âWell, well, itâs all my fault. But Iâm really hungry now. Serve me a bowl of longevity noodles!â Chu Liuchen stopped teasing Shao Wanru, took her hand and said.
âYour Highness, please let me get up first.â Shao Wanru reached out to withdraw her hand but failed, so she could only say helplessly.
Chu Liuchen was very obedient this time. He let go of her hand and Shao Wanru hurriedly withdrew her hand. She looked at the bite mark on the back of her hand and gave him a hard look. He did have healthy teeth. He just pretended to be seriously ill as she expected. She had seen through him. Flying here and there did no harm to him. How could he claim to be seriously ill?
She wouldnât be deceived!
She bit her lip in anger and stood up helplessly. At this moment, Yujie should have come back. So she walked to the door and opened the door. As she expected, she saw Yujie holding a tray and standing beside Qu Le and Xiao Xuanzi.
âGive it to me!â Shao Wanru said.
Yujie hurriedly handed the tray to her. Shao Wanru took it. After entering the room, she returned to the mat, put the tray on the table and said impatiently, âYour Highness, the noodles are ready!â
There was only a bowl of noodles with chopped green onions on top. It was simple, but looked delicious.
There was only an extremely long strip of noodle in the bowlâŠ
