Chapter 0026 Returning the King (2 / 2)

Chen Zi’an noticed his outburst and slightly eased his face and said, “It’s not anything important, is there something wrong with sister-in-law?”

Xie Jialong looked at Chen Zian and said in a warm voice, “Speaking of which, I have yet to wish Erlang the joy of being crowned. This party gift was prepared by my own hands, and I still want to hand it over to Erlang personally. Would Erlang take a look to see if he ever likes it?”

Mei Xiang on the side held a gift box in her hand and respectfully delivered it to Chen Zian.

Xie Jialong’s hand stroked the bun of her hair intentionally or unintentionally, hoping that Chen Zian could notice that she was different today.

But Chen Zi’an had something on his mind, so he didn’t notice this much, he only let Chang Rong come forward and take away the gift, but didn’t open it to check it out, he just respectfully said, “Thank you, sister-in-law, sister-in-law’s things must be good things. I am grateful to you for remembering me, Zi An.”

Xie Jialong face can not hide the color of disappointment, and then hold out a few pleasantries, but Chen Zian has long been out of mind here, did not chat a few sentences after the excuse to leave.

Xie Jialong looked at Chen Zian’s back as he left in a daze, she dressed up carefully like this today and used her heart from head to toe, but Chen Zian was unwilling to look at her more than once.

It was also true that no matter how much she dressed up, she was only upper middle class, unlike Xiang Capsicum, who was still charming even without powder.

No, no, no, no! A lowly girl like that, even if she’s beautiful, she’s just a thing for the gentlemen’s amusement, how can she be worthy of comparing with me!

Thinking like this, Xie Jialong was finally a little more comfortable in her heart, but her eyes still couldn’t help but follow Chen Zian’s back as he left.

“Mistress, we should also go back, or else the eldest young master’s side will be suspicious-” Mei Xiang reminded in a low voice.

Xie Jialong snorted coldly, but she still retracted her gaze fondly and strolled back into the banquet.

On the other side, Chen Zisheng was frowning and Xiang Capsicum instructing, “There are so many subordinates in the residence, is it possible that you are the only one missing? Go back to your room and wait for me, don’t show your face here and attract butterflies!”

This was said with extreme gravity, as if she was a cheap skin and had to come out to serve.

If it wasn’t for Xie Jialong’s and Butler Wang’s orders, Xiang Capsicum would be crazy to come out to serve people. Wouldn’t it be a hundred times better to stay in her room and study the handwritten notes given by Lord Huang than to serve these uncertain nobles?

Xiang Capsicum did not know where she had provoked Chen Zisheng, and the thought of serving him again tonight made Xiang Capsicum’s heart sick again.

Suddenly, a flicker of bewilderment rose in her mind.

She had already made up her mind to distance herself from Chen Zian from now on, which was a good thing for both him and her. But going forward, where would she go to change a child into her belly so that she could claim her body contract back?

It was always a much greater risk to be entangled with a man of a foreign name again, but without a body contract, her life was always in someone else’s hands.

If you can’t even control your own life, how can you talk about freedom?

When will these days end?

As he was pondering, Chen Zian’s voice suddenly came from behind him.

“I’m sorry big brother, the side consort’s place is here, and would also like to borrow the scented chestnuts in your room for a while.”
