Cheng Xiaoxiao no longer felt jealous about the extra food Chu Yunshen got. After all, she knew Wan Xia was forced to bring the food over.

Since they were good-looking folks, they looked great together and every frame was a classic.

It was not entirely about wanting to sample Wang Qingqing’s cooking. Cheng Xiaoxiao had a few opinions of her own about Wang Qingqing.

She was very impressed by the way Wang Qingqing’s mind worked.

Cheng Xiaoxiao could disregard the fact that Wang Qingqing had probably asked Wan Xia to help send soup to Chu Yunshen on the very same day she offered her condolences about Xiao Qin.

Even if Cheng Xiaoxiao overlooked all her faults and how evil she was, she found Wang Qingqing’s thought processes inconceivable.

Wang Qingqing might have asked Wan Xia to send Chu Yunshen soup, but she was doing it in Wan Xia’s name. What could she get out of it?

Was she genuinely in love with Chu Yunshen? Did she only want the satisfaction of having Chu Yunshen finish her cooking?

That was absolutely stupid…

Since Cheng Xiaoxiao was a straightforward woman, she found Wang Qingqing’s actions unfathomable.

Also, Cheng Xiaoxiao probably felt Chu Yunshen wasn’t good enough for Wan Xia because Wan Xia was her friend.

Chu Yunshen had an unapproachable personality. Despite being one of the most gorgeous men in the capital, the world was a huge place, so there were bound to be better-looking guys out there.

In Cheng Xiaoxiao’s opinion, the idols from modern times were all hotter than Chu Yunshen.

As for his brains, all the other princes were equally intelligent except for Chu Hongyi.

Wan Xia was different. Cheng Xiaoxiao had never seen a better woman in her past life or in this era.

She was an excellent cook and was well-trained in all arts.

More importantly, she was beautiful and had a great personality.

Even in the age of the internet, where information was swift and widespread, she had never seen a woman as perfect as Wan Xia. Moreover, they were now in ancient times.

Fortunately, Wan Xia didn’t like Chu Yunshen. Otherwise, it would be a very bad deal for Wan Xia.

Cheng Xiaoxiao had already made up her mind. After she had figured out how to use the jade box, she would bring Wan Xia to modern times and let her have her pick of even better guys.

When the time came, Wan Xia could have her pick of men and had to find herself the most gorgeous man on earth.

Cheng Xiaoxiao got very distracted thinking about this. Chu Yunshen had already finished the soup.

“Bring the osmanthus cake over here,” said Chu Yunshen mildly leaving Cheng Xiaoxiao and Wan Xia stunned.

Cheng Xiaoxiao felt angry in a matter of seconds.

Did Chu Yunshen have to keep eating?

He had already eaten Wang Qingqing’s soup. Now, he wanted to steal the osmanthus cakes Wan Xia had made just for her.

What was his problem?

Wan Xia looked at Chu Yunshen hesitantly without adhering to his order and giving him the osmanthus cake.

“Your Highness… I didn’t add sugar to the cake, so you probably won’t like it.”

“It’s fine. I don’t like sweet food anyway.”

Chu Yunshen flipped through his book as he spoke without even looking up.

Cheng Xiaoxiao finally realized Chu Yunshen was probably doing this on purpose!

If even Cheng Xiaoxiao could tell what Wan Xia was implying, there was no way Chu Yunshen didn’t know what Wan Xia meant.

Since there was no sugar in the osmanthus cake, it was not intended for him. Didn’t he get it? Did he have to fight with her over the osmanthus cake?

“But…”

Wan Xia remained hesitant. Chu Yunshen looked up at Wan Xia with his deep eyes without saying a word.

Her cheeks turned slightly pink. She averted her eyes shyly before she slowly walked up to the table to take the osmanthus cake.

The osmanthus cake was now completely cool, but Cheng Xiaoxiao could still smell its cool fragrance in the air.

No!

Don’t take it away!

Cheng Xiaoxiao hadn’t eaten it yet! She hadn’t eaten a single bite yet!

The lion cat refused to remove her paw from the edge of the plate. Wan Xia wanted to remove her paw, but the lion cat placed her other front paw onto the plate. It seemed as though the lion cat was going to lunge onto the plate if Wan Xia didn’t stop.

Wan Xia turned to glance at Chu Yunshen quickly before blocking the table with her body.

Cheng Xiaoxiao kept looking at Wan Xia as she signaled her. However, she could not figure out what Wan Xia was trying to say.

The lion cat looked at Wan Xia quizzically with her head tilted.

Since the lion cat didn’t get it, Wan Xia could only do it herself.

She picked up the plate with her left hand and took a piece of osmanthus cake with the right and gestured for the lion cat to open her mouth.

Now, she certainly knew what Wan Xia was trying to do!

It was hers!

Wan Xia was startled when she saw the lion cat eating the osmanthus cake greedily. Her bright beautiful eyes opened wide as her petite pink mouth opened slightly. Wan Xia looked absolutely adorable.

Wan Xia finally stopped staring and composed herself when she noticed that the lion cat did not have any adverse reaction from eating the entire piece of osmanthus cake. Instead, the lion cat was dying to have more.

She swiftly picked up another piece of osmanthus cake. This time, she didn’t feed it to the lion cat right away. Instead, she simply hid it under her light lavender-colored sleeve.

Wan Xia thought about how much the lion cat wanted the osmanthus cake, so she decisively took another piece and hid it into her sleeve.

After Wan Xia was done doing this, she turned and walked over to the desk elegantly in small steps and placed whatever that was left of the osmanthus cake on the table within Chu Yunshen’s reach.

Chu Yunshen glanced at the three pieces of osmanthus cake on the plate and didn’t know what to say.

The two of them were genuinely outrageous.

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked embarrassed when she saw the remaining osmanthus cake. She knew Wan Xia had gone overboard as well.

There was only one plate of osmanthus cake and there were only a few pieces to begin with. Even if they stole only one piece of osmanthus cake, it would be very obvious. Moreover, they had stolen half a plate of osmanthus cake…

However, now was not the time to be weak.

Even though Chu Yunshen had asked for the osmanthus cake, he did not eat it. Instead, he smiled as he looked at the lion cat on the table.

There were some osmanthus cake crumbs on the lion cat’s whiskers as it avoided eye contact with him looking into the distance.

She kept looking everywhere in the room except him.

Cheng Xiaoxiao deliberately didn’t look at Chu Yunshen since she had stolen the osmanthus cake. She was simply pretending nothing had happened.

Whatever it was, Chu Yunshen wouldn’t know she was the culprit if she did not make eye contact with him.

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the ceiling. The ceiling was dirty! From the looks of it, the servants haven’t been doing a good job cleaning it. Someone ought to tell the butler about it and get him to supervise the cleaning.

She proceeded to scrutinize the tiles. This tile was no good either! It seemed a little dusty and was not bright enough for her reflection to appear on it. What were the servants doing? Someone should dock their salary!

“Take it out.”

What did he mean?

Cheng Xiaoxiao pretended not to hear anything.

Cheng Xiaoxiao pretended she was deaf. She raised her head to look at Wan Xia from the corner of her eye as she looked at the skylight in the distance.

Wan Xia’s fair face was blushing red making her skin look even more translucent.

“Your Highness… I…”

Wan Xia awkwardly retrieved two pieces of light yellow cake from her sleeve with her head lowered.

No don’t!

Why give it to him?

Cheng Xiaoxiao felt heartbroken about the osmanthus cake.

If she had known this would happen, she should have made Wan Xia feed her earlier.

Wan Xia lowered her head even more as though she was looking for something on the ground.

Her ears were blushing crimson.

Wan Xia must be feeling embarrassed since she had never done something like this before.

Cheng Xiaoxiao had thick skin, and she was accustomed to challenging Chu Yunshen, so she naturally felt this was normal.

However, Wan Xia was different and had a meek personality.

In her opinion, it was a departure from her traditional upbringing to do this in front of a prince. Would any woman from high society steal snacks from Chu Yunshen for a pet cat?

Since Cheng Xiaoxiao was the one who had eaten the osmanthus cake, she could not get her friend in trouble.

The lion cat jumped off the table nimbly and jumped onto the study desk right away.

She had intended to bravely rescue her beautiful friend. Sadly, her grand plans didn’t go her way.

She had miscalculated badly!

Cheng Xiaoxiao deeply regretted her actions!

Why didn’t she see the plate containing the osmanthus cake sitting on the table?

This osmanthus cake must be really out to get Cheng Xiaoxiao today. The moment Cheng Xiaoxiao landed on the table, she stepped on the edge of the plate.

Since the plate wasn’t flat, it tilted when she landed on it. The osmanthus cake slid towards her when the plate tilted.

The lion cat inadvertently lost balance and fell onto the osmanthus cake altogether.

Cheng Xiaoxiao could tell the osmanthus cake was well made and had great texture. It was even at the perfect level of moistness. Also, the scent of osmanthus felt even more fragrant when the cake fell apart.

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t have the chance to appreciate it when she gobbled them swiftly earlier. Now that she was lying on the powdery remnants of the osmanthus cake, she fully appreciated its high quality.

The lion cat stumbled on the table a few times and was unable to steady herself. Thankfully, Chu Yunshen and Wan Xia reached their hands out to help support her.

Wan Xia inadvertently touched Chu Yunshen’s hand. She shrank her hand back as though she was electrified. Her face and ears were flushing crimson and it refused to dissipate.

Chu Yunshen naturally detected her soft cool hand. He simply frowned as he held onto the lion cat firmly.

He disregarded the cake crumbs on the lion cat and carried her in his arms. Wan Xia promptly handed him her handkerchief.

Chu Yunshen took the handkerchief from her naturally and wiped the crumbs from the lion cat’s body without hesitation until all the yellow powder was gone. He proceeded to wipe the lion cat’s paws before finally wiping her mouth.

The lion cat struggled with all her might huffily and wanted to smack Chu Yunshen with her paw.

He was definitely doing that on purpose!

Cheng Xiaoxiao knew Chu Yunshen was trying to be funny. How could he wipe her paws before wiping her mouth with the handkerchief? It was disgusting.

Chu Yunshen pressed the lion cat’s paw down as she tried to smack him. After the lion cat was completely clean, he handed her to Wan Xia and wiped the cake crumbs from his hands.

“Don’t give her any more osmanthus cake today.”

Meow meow meow?

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Yunshen as he unhurriedly wiped every single one of his long slender fingers carefully with his plain white handkerchief. He seemed incredibly sexy doing it.

However, the words from his mouth were absolutely cruel. Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to pounce on him and give him a piece of her mind.

Why couldn’t she eat the osmanthus cake?

Did he have a problem with osmanthus cake? Did he have a problem with her?

Cheng Xiaoxiao felt terribly annoyed.

Chu Yunshen had just caught Wan Xia stealing the osmanthus cake, so she could only look at Chu Yunshen furtively without daring to say a word.

Since Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t snatch the osmanthus cake herself, she glared at Chu Yunshen threateningly.

After Chu Yunshen was done wiping his hands, he tossed the handkerchief on the table in disdain and stopped looking at it.

Wan Xia detected Chu Yunshen’s disdain. Her face continued to blush as she pondered deeply with a glint in her eyes, but no one knew what she was thinking.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was looking at Chu Yunshen threateningly, so she didn’t notice anything amiss with Wan Xia.

Chu Yunshen picked up the book beside him before he glanced at the lion cat.

“You can only eat one more piece.”

One more piece?

That was too little! Did he think she was some beggar?

No way!

The lion cat raised her paw and waved two claws elegantly.

“Half a piece.”

Why was it getting lesser and lesser?
