"Arenât you afraid youâll bite off your own teeth?" Mu Shaoling finally couldnât stand it anymore.
However, Commandery Princess Dongyang was still displeased, "Itâs none of your business!"
Mu Shaoling raised his eyebrows, always knowing the girl was stubborn, but not that she was so willful.
He shrugged his shoulders, ignored her, and continued drinking the porridge in front of him.
But he had just taken a sip when a slender hand reached over, and to his astonishment, took away the porridge in front of him.
Then she drank it down bite by bite under his gaze, seemingly oblivious to him watching her.
Mu Shaoling, resigned, knew she was in a bad mood and didnât want to bicker with her, so he continued to reach for the spoon to serve himself another bowl of porridge, but as soon as he touched the spoon, Commandery Princess Dongyang snatched it away.
Alright, youâre quick with your hands, young lady, so I guess I canât have any porridge, can I? Therefore, Mu Shaoling decided to reach for a steamed bun, but before his hand even touched it, she had moved the entire plate of buns to one side.
"Youâre intentionally trying to keep me from eating, arenât you?"
Thinking that Commandery Princess Dongyang would still ignore him, surprisingly she nodded vigorously.
But she refused to speak, her face full of determination as she ate, almost impossible to ignore.
Alright, you win, young lady, I guess I just wonât eat, okay?
Mu Shaoling put down his chopsticks, gave her a helpless glance, and went out. The guards outside were already prepared, and the people from Muâs Clinic were ready as well. Meanwhile, the servant who had hurriedly finished his meal also came out.
"Young master, how come youâre so quick?" the servant asked with surprise, as he had been eating at top speed himself.
As the servant of the young master, he must eat faster and sleep later than his master.
"Go inside and get me two steamed buns."
Mu Shaolingâs voice came lightly, while the servantâs mouth dropped open in shock. On his way into the inn, he couldnât help but wonder when his master had become such a big eater, after having ordered a table full of breakfast in the morning.
The servant was quick, and by the time he brought out the buns, Mu Shaoling had already boarded the carriage, which was headed for the docks. There, they would switch to a boat. As the servant was about to hand the buns up to Mu Shaoling in the carriage, Commandery Princess Dongyang swiftly grabbed the buns and quickly dove into the carriage.
With his eyes closed, Mu Shaoling suddenly caught the scent of a young girlâs fragrance at his nose. Upon opening his eyes, who else could it be but Dongyang?
"Werenât you supposed to return to Capital City?"
"Who said I was going back to Capital City?" Commandery Princess Dongyang flipped the buns in her hands, then glanced at Mu Shaoling, "Want to eat?"
Mu Shaoling: ...
"Are you sure youâre not returning to Capital City?" Mu Shaoling asked again.
Commandery Princess Dongyang waved her hand impatiently at his words, "Donât try to fool me. I already said thereâs no way Iâm canceling the marriage contract. Humph, so what if Iâm not in Capital City? Iâve already sent Su Ma and the others back with my letter of request. By my estimates, my father should have arrived in Capital City by now. Once he delivers my letter to my father, naturally my father will go find the Emperor. Hehe, doesnât the Commandery Princess know how to ask the Emperor to postpone the wedding herself? Why would I need your help?"
Having said this, Commandery Princess Dongyang was quite proud, "Accompanying my fiancĂ© to look for medicine, tsk tsk, and itâs for the sake of his son, too; would the Emperor refuse to give this bit of face? Alright, even if I donât carry that much influence, they have to give face to my father and the Tayun Tribe. Besides, this isnât something that would trouble him; he would certainly be happy to agree."
"So?" Mu Shaoling raised his eyebrows?
