Chapter 211 Give Me a Box of Drunken Noble Consort

Xiaowu’s ignorant look humiliated Cheng Xiaoxiao deeply. She had already hidden her head deep into the crook of Xiaowu’s arm, not wanting to see the contempt on the waiter’s face.

Fortunately, the current waiter was much more approachable compared to the staff in the designer shop in the modern days. Impatience was non-existent on his face. Instead, he picked up one of the boxes from the counter, flipped it over, pointed at the bottom of the box, and started to explain.

“Sir, please take a closer look. Although the products of our store look the same on the outside, there are different numbers printed below each box, and some of the models are in different shapes and sizes. In short, it’s easy for us to tell the difference.”

Xiaowu only gave a simple “oh” sound, but in his heart, he was still muttering to himself about the “easy to tell the difference” part. Then, an idea suddenly flashed across his mind, and he hurriedly asked.

“So, are all of the boxes in your store this kind of white porcelain box? Do you have any other packaging style?”

“It can be custom-made into any kind of shapes, sizes, and patterns. The finished product will be the one you order. Most of our customers request an extra wooden box for the porcelain box, and of course, the box can be custom-made too. There are some extra charges if you want to custom-made your boxes, but it’s not expensive. The custom-made charge for the porcelain box is two-tenths of a silver tale, and the wooden box is one-tenth of a silver tale.”

The waiter was explaining to Xiaowu with an enthusiastic smile. From the looks of it, the waiter tried to coax Xiaowu into custom-making his product as he was explaining the benefits of custom-made products.

Hearing that boxes could be custom-made, both Xiaowu and Cheng Xiaoxiao widened their eyes in astonishment.

There are patterns on Wan Xia’s cream box, and it came with a wooden box. It seemed that they were approaching the truth little by little.

Cheng Xiaoxiao patted Xiaowu with her claws in Xiaowu’s arms, indicating for Xiaowu to quickly ask the waiter about the box.

In fact, even without the cat’s reminder, Xiaowu had thought of the special packaging of Wan Xia’s cream.

“Can you custom-make a double-phoenix lotus pattern then? I want a big petal of the lotus flower to surround the double phoenixes. It’s best to have pearl texture on it.”

Every time Xiaowu said a sentence, the waiter’s smile froze a bit. After Xiaowu finished speaking, the waiter looked uglier than crying despite the smile on his face.

“Sir, you are giving us such a difficult task. I’ve never heard of such a design before, let alone custom-make one for you.”

Xiaowu could tell that the waiter did not lie to him, but he pretended to be smug and rebuked the waiter.

“What the hell do you mean? Didn’t you just say that I can custom-make any pattern I want? Why can’t you custom-make my design? Huh?! Do you think that I can’t afford it?!”

“No, no, no… Sir, please calm down!” The waiter quickly comforted Xiaowu and spoke more carefully. “Usually, people ask for peonies or lovebirds. At most, they ask for double phoenixes or Butterfly Love Flower… Well, you want lotuses and phoenixes. Our master has never tried to draw these.”

The waiter looked at Xiaowu’s expression as he spoke. He had to bite the bullet and continue to explain, “Besides, I don’t know what you meant by the pearl texture.”

It seemed that Wan Xia’s cream box was not custom-made here. Things had gotten a little difficult.

Cheng Xiaoxiao sighed softly in Xiaowu’s arms. She wanted to go back and discuss with Xiaowu again.

The cat once again reached out her claws and tugged at Xiaowu’s sleeve, throwing a meaningful glance at Xiaowu.

Of course, Xiaowu knew that they reached a dead-end here. Initially, he wanted the cat to sniff the creams around the store again, but after hearing what the waiter said, he reckoned that it would be useless.

“Uh… Give me a box of your Drunken Noble Consort.”

Xiaowu had come here three times already, and he was really embarrassed to return empty-handed this time, so he asked for the box of cream that he had the deepest impression of yesterday.

The waiter was stunned for a moment before he quickly asked.

“Do you mean ‘Tipsy Noble Consort’?”

Pfft…

Hahaha…

Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to hold back her laughter but failed. She was laughing in Xiaowu’s arms. In order to prevent others from seeing her, Cheng Xiaoxiao deliberately turned around and hid in Xiaowu’s arms, laughing wildly.

Xiaowu naturally noticed the change in the cat’s mood almost immediately. He awkwardly urged the waiter, “Yes, that one! Stop your crap and wrap it up! Hurry!”

The waiter was taken aback by Xiaowu’s sudden outburst, but he quickly packed the cream and gave it to Xiaowu.

After paying the money, Xiaowu almost ran away with the cat in his arms, much more flustered than when he didn’t buy anything the previous two times.

As for the cat, who was in his arms, it had never stopped shaking its body after Xiaowu had misspoken. It didn’t stop laughing even as they were about to reach the back door of Prince Jing’s Residence.

“Have you had enough laugh?”

Xiaowu raised the cat in front of him with one hand and helplessly looked at the cat’s face, which its facial features almost crumpled up together.

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Xiaowu seriously for a second, and soon laughed more happily than before.

Of course… no!

Drunken Noble Consort!

Xiaowu was so funny!

Cheng Xiaoxiao almost cried into tears, and her stomach was even starting to ache.

Xiaowu was frowning helplessly, while the cat could not stop laughing. Miraculously, they returned to Prince Jing’s Residence smoothly.

As soon as they entered Prince Jing’s Residence, Xiaowu and Cheng Xiaoxiao felt that the atmosphere around them was obviously much heavier than the atmosphere outside the residence.

Not only that, but Cheng Xiaoxiao was also keenly aware of the faintly discernible sense of danger in the air. As Xiaowu brought Cheng Xiaoxiao closer and closer to Chu Yunshen’s room, this aura became more and more obvious.

When Xiaowu was a few steps away from the door of Chu Yunshen’s room, he could already feel the inner force surging from Chu Yunshen’s body.

“Oh no, this is bad!”

Xiaowu thought to himself. He froze with the cat in his hand.

“Come in here!”

Chu Yunshen’s stern voice came from inside the room. It was a deep and profound voice, and Xiaowu felt as if Chu Yunshen’s voice had weights, and it was crashing down on him.

Every step Xiaowu took felt so difficult. His legs were as heavy as iron lead, but he had to stride into the room. As Xiaowu stepped through the threshold, he released the cat to the ground.

Unfortunately, Chu Yunshen’s cold eyes had already swept over Xiaowu. When he saw Xiaowu holding the cat, his eyes darkened, and his aura became colder.

“Master, I…”

Xiaowu stood helplessly at the door and did not dare to take another step forward. The last time he saw Chu Yunshen this angry was when the cat went out with the Fourteenth Prince.

“Come in!”

Chu Yunshen’s voice was cold, like a blade cutting through Xiaowu’s body.

Not just Xiaowu, but the cat, who was running on the floor, was also shuddering in fear. The cat was so scared that she quickly ran to Chu Yunshen’s legs and rubbed her body against his black boots, trying to use all her actions at this moment.

Chu Yunshen didn’t do anything to the cat, but when he picked the cat up, he smacked the cat’s butt lightly as punishment.

“Do you know what you did wrong?”

Chu Yunshen’s cold and thin eyes swept over Xiaowu again, scaring Xiaowu into kneeling on the ground.

“I failed in my task. There was no progress in the matter of the cream…”

Xiaowu was annoyed too. How did his Master know about their findings so quickly? It must be Tingzhu and the others. Xiaowu cursed them all in his heart.

Chu Yunshen sat quietly and looked at Xiaowu on the ground with his profound gaze. His tightly pursed lips were enough to show his dissatisfaction at this time.

Xiaowu knelt on the ground and lowered his head, not daring to look at Chu Yunshen. He was waiting for Chu Yunshen to reprimand him.

Unfortunately, what he received was only Chu Yunshen’s silence and the suppression of his inner force.

Xiaowu was taken aback and was thinking about what went wrong. The cat, on the other hand, silently watched the scene as she lay quietly in Chu Yunshen’s arms.

At first, Cheng Xiaoxiao thought that Chu Yunshen was angry because she went out with Xiaowu, so she acted first and coaxed Chu Yunshen with all her might.

But now, Cheng Xiaoxiao was a little confused about Chu Yunshen’s real thoughts. After all, Chu Yunshen did not get angry with her but directly barked at Xiaowu.

However, instead of talking about Cheng Xiaoxiao, Xiaowu told Chu Yunshen about the cream.

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t know what to say. Should she praise Xiaowu for being righteous and diverting the topic away from her?

But why did he mention the cream? It was obviously a big deal!

Cheng Xiaoxiao thought that Chu Yunshen would directly punish Xiaowu, but Chu Yunshen remained silent.

Anyway, Cheng Xiaoxiao was confused and puzzled by the current situation. Nevertheless, she was a nobody but a kitten who was watching the show quietly.

Xiaowu, who was kneeling on the ground, could not figure out what went wrong. He could only bite the bullet and continue to explain the matter. He did not know how much information Tingzhu and the others had reported to Chu Yunshen, so he decided to explain everything in detail just in case.

“Also, I should not have secretly given the cat extra food…”

Meow?

The cat stared at Xiaowu in great disbelief. She was so shocked that she was speechless.

Was Xiaowu out of his mind?

Why would he tell Chu Yunshen this?!

Right now, Chu Yunshen knew that she had a lavish meal this morning.

Cheng Xiaoxiao unnaturally twisted her body in Chu Yunshen’s arms. She suddenly felt a sense of alarm. She had already felt Chu Yunshen’s probing gaze turn to her.

“Don’t look at me! I will be shy!”

“Go and look at Xiaowu! Go and punish him…”

Cheng Xiaoxiao broke out in a cold sweat. After a long while, when she felt that the dangerous aura gradually disappeared, she secretly peeked her head out from the crook of Chu Yunshen’s arm.

She slowly tilted her head and looked up at Chu Yunshen above her. She did not expect that when she looked at Chu Yunshen’s face, she met with his playful gaze.

“Oh my god!”

“Don’t scare me like that!”

Cheng Xiaoxiao quickly turned her head back. This time, she buried her head deeper into his arms and swore that she would never show her face easily again.

She really did not expect that Chu Yunshen would actually play such a prank. He deliberately waited for her to stare at him and not move his eyes away.

Also, what was Chu Yunshen thinking now? Just now, Cheng Xiaoxiao seemed to have seen a faint smile on his lips.

Shouldn’t Chu Yunshen angrily lock her in the cage and punish her by reducing her food ration by half?

Why did he smile at her instead?

Cheng Xiaoxiao felt that it was either she had gone crazy and seen things wrongly, or Chu Yunshen had gone crazy and didn’t know how to react correspondingly.

In fact, Chu Yunshen did not expect that Xiaowu would tell him about the cat’s extra food. After being surprised for a few seconds, Chu Yunshen looked down without hesitation to observe the cat’s reaction.

The cunning cat was indeed guilty and did not dare to look at him again. Chu Yunshen did not insist. He deliberately pretended not to look at the cat, but in fact, he continued to observe the cat secretly.
