THE EVIL PRINCE AND HIS PRECIOUS WIFE
Chapter 31 – Eat Together

Ouyang Shao Chen quickly caught the pillow and placed it on the side. He glanced towards Murong Xue and immediately left the room.

He followed her gaze and realized that he was looking at her chest. Admittedly, he is still a little immature but he is only 14 years old and has plenty of room for improvement!

Just like the body he had in modern times, after he was 17 or 18 years old, people admired him for that!

He folded the bed cover and got out of bed. Behind the fold screen, she then wears underwear, a robe dress, and prepares herself to appear neat. Only then did he leave the room.

Outside the room, there is an oak table in the middle where dishes, pastries, spring rolls, and porridge are placed. The smell of tempting food was enough to make anyone drool.

Ouyang Shao Chen was standing near the sink cleaning his hands. Clear hot springs passed through his hands, uncontaminated. Seeing Murong Xue appear, he took out a wet cloth and wiped the water beads from his hands.

"It's late, let's eat" he said flatly.

Murong Xue frowned. Originally, sleeping together in bed and now, eating together at the same table? This sounds more like a husband and wife to do..................... wait, why does he think like that?

"Thank you very much, Ouyang Your Majesty, but I'm not starving now and return to Zhen's state palace to feast, nor will it be too late,"

An arm stretched out and gripped his shoulder, as if the finger on it was made of jade itself. Ouyang Shao Chen then directed him to the oak table.

“Yesterday, you suffer from Cold toxins and go back and forth throughout the day. For 7 or 8 hours, you do not eat anything and even if you are not hungry, at least you should eat a little. Or your body will become weaker!”

Murong Xue's beautiful eyes sparkled and narrowed. Secretly, he tried to escape from his obstacles.

However, with just a slight touch of Ouyang Shao Chen's finger containing immeasurable power, MuRong Xue could not move! His strength could not be used, not even a little bit.

He knew he could not defend against Ouyang Shao Chen's great strength and stopped fighting. He raised his head to look at her.

Ouyang Shao Chen ignored his gaze. Seeing that she had calmed down, she let go of her touch and gracefully sat down beside him. He then scooped up the rice porridge, gracefully putting some vegetables on it and putting a few slices of plum cake on a small plate in front of him.

Murong Xue looked at the fragrant plum cake, shocked.

“How do you know I like plum cake?”

"Take a guess," replied Ouyang Shao Chen, his jet-black diamond eyes gleaming with a hint of humor.

Murong Xue glared at him again.

He thought, Fine. I'm not interested anyway.

Murong Xue took the plum cake and put it in her mouth. The smell and softness of the cake filled his mouth.

A person tends not to feel hungry after recovering from the poison. However, it is recommended to eat white porridge to regain strength. Murong Xue thought it was appropriate to eat something to nourish herself and coincidentally, plum cake was her favorite, so she ate a few more pieces. Moreover, Ouyang Shao Chen was eyeing him from the side. He felt he had to eat something or he would never let it go.

Murong Xue used perfect speed to finish the plum cake and stood up afterwards.

"Ouyang Your Majesty, I am already full, please take your time to eat!"

Ouyang Shao Chen's expression turned serious. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and carried the plate with a wet cloth. He proceeded to pat his hands with a cloth. What seemed like a simple action was more of a graceful gesture when done by him.

Murong Xue quickly shook his head and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty for your kind gesture! But the Zhen state palace is not far away, please, I don't need to trouble Your Majesty. Your Majesty, it is better that you hurry back to pay your respects to your father and mother only!”

Known for dutiful nobles first among others. Ouyang Shao Chen had not come home for 10 years and now he had just returned. It was just a matter of fact that he had to pay his respects to his parents.

He thought, this is the best reason to keep him away from me.

“They are not in Jing City, they go to explore the big mountain, DaChuan,” he said sourly, as if it was a common thing to do at that time, he said, “They want to see it for themselves – Sakura and flowers in Gangnam, desert outside the Great Wall.”

They leave the task where the palace is called and together they explore the world. His Majesty and his Queen are truly nobles who do not care about fame or power.

No wonder Ouyang Shao Chen left the palace when he was only eight years old! He was out around the world, ah so this trait was passed down from his parents!

“It's still early and I want to take a short walk around town without a train. I will not trouble Your Majesty to send me home, goodbye! Murong Xue excused herself with a polite smile and without waiting for Ouyang Shao Chen to reply she turned around and paced quickly outside.

Once out of the courtyard, he followed the path that was pelted with black stones. In a hurry, he dashed out of the palace and made a quick turn in the alley. He stopped and looked at the empty streets behind him. Secretly, he felt relieved. Thanks to himself, he has fast reflexes and body movements that allow him to do twists quickly. To be fair, he thought he was a pretty good man, but he exuded a dangerous aura and he didn't want to relate to him in any way.

Murong Xue strolled the streets of Jing City and saw the frenzied scenery of the city. The various hawkers were doing their business and the rowdy bargaining coming from them made the corner of his mouth slant and exuded a small smile.

The host had been living in a snowy district, had little exercise, had a body that, when the wind blew would knock him unconscious. This results in frequent frostbite that is so painful that you would rather die. He had to walk more and train his body to get better so that when that happened, he would not feel too much pain.

A gentle breeze blew softly and gracefully raised her thick pitch-black hair. With the sunlight, she looked even more beautiful. Where, this attracted many spectators to admire her beauty – her skin is white, her eyes are sparkling like pure water – and wonder, which noble family does she have?

Murong Xue, however, was unaware of that gaze and continued walking. His distant gaze broke the row of bargaining and hawkers were doing business!

"Cousin!" an enthusiastic voice suddenly appeared on the scene.

The voice came from a young man wearing a long silvery-white robe. He rushed after her and was immediately in front of her, blocking her path. The man stared greedily at her beauty before saying, “Xue my cousin! Long time no see! Don't pretend to ignore me when you see me!”

Seeing his spontaneous actions and gaze, he raised his eyebrows.

"Who are you?"

This man knew his name and even called his cousin! But there's no memory of this guy at the host.

The man laughed and raised his chin, as if wanting to introduce himself, he replied, "I am Du ChenJiang, cousin, surely you've heard my name!"

Du ChenJiang's! Isn't that the eldest granddaughter of the Du family!

Every New Year, he and his family would come to the Zhen country palace as guests. But because the host's body was not in good shape and the Du family disliked it, he was never asked to go to the courtyard to meet guests.

Murong Xue let out a "hmm!" and continuing on her journey, her pale green dress robe fluttered in the wind which gave off a faint feminine scent of her.

Du ChenJiang inhaled his scent and his eyes sparkled. Seeing that Murong Xue had passed him and continued on his way, he rushed after to block his path again. He did not bother to hide his admiring gaze from top to toe or even his sparkling eyes.

He said, “Sepupu Xue, don't stay away from me! Since we are cousins and rarely meet, let's chat more!”
