She tugged at Chu Jinlingâs sleeve and prepared to escape.
However, Su Yingxue quickly broke free from Chu Yihanâs embrace and smiled, saying, âYou came at the right time. Such a big sheep. Your Highness, I couldnât finish it. Come and eat together!â
âSure, sure!â Lin Sisi also smelled the fragrance of the roasted mutton, and her eyes instantly lit up.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âItâs better not,â Chu Jinling pulled her back and smiled apologetically. âImperial uncle, we will visit you another day.â
He was about to escape with Lin Sisi, but Su Yingxue jumped down to stop them. âSince you are here, thereâs no reason to leave on an empty stomach! Otherwise⦠If word gets out, they will say that your Ninth Imperial Uncle is stingy!â
Lin Sisi didnât dare to ruin Chu Yihanâs plan. She waved her hand awkwardly. âForget it! Dr. Su, Iâll leave this beautiful scenery and delicious food for you to enjoy!â
She and Chu Jinling probably wouldnât be able to enjoy it.
Especially the handsome Chu Yihan.
âNo! Weâll share blessings and difficulties!â Su Yingxue blocked the two of them.
If they left, how awkward would it be for her and Chu Yihan to eat alone?
The scene of her eating his finger was still fresh in her mind⦠Oh no, she was recalling it.
Lin Sisi and Chu Jinling locked eyes as if saying, âLook at the trouble youâve brought upon us!â
Chu Jinlingâs mind spun rapidly as he held Lin Sisiâs hand. His smile was exceptionally bright. âSince Imperial Aunt has said so, then I wonât stand on ceremony.â
He turned around and looked at Chu Yihan with a smile as radiant as a flower, saying, âImperial uncle, Sisi and 1 will just have a meal here, you donât mind, right?â
As he spoke, he observed. Indeed, the use of âImperial Auntâ had significantly softened Chu Yihanâs expression.
âYes.â Chu Yihan nodded in agreement.
Chu Jinling patted his chest. Su Yingxueâs face was flushed, but he couldnât care less.
After all, it was a choice between two evils. He was more afraid of offending his imperial uncle than being blacklisted by Su Yingxue, who was also his business partner.
A roasted whole lamb filled the stomachs of Su Yingxue, Chu Jinling, and Lin Sisi.
To aid digestion, the chef even heated fresh goatâs milk and added hawthorn to it, ensuring that it wouldnât cause any discomfort in their stomachs.
After Su Yingxue finished her drink, a satisfied smile graced her face.
Her smile was as brilliant as a galaxy, and even though Chu Yihan had only had a glass of wine, he appeared to be intoxicated.
He leaned in and kissed Su Yingxue passionately.
Su Yingxue awkwardly resisted, saying, âOh, Your Highness, the Ninth Prince, and the others are still around!â
âTheyâre not here,â Chu Yihan replied. He continued to kiss her fervently.
Su Yingxue, out of the corner of her eye, noticed that there were only the two of them left in the entire pavilion. There was no sign of the other two.
Chu Jinling had already whisked Lin Sisi away.
Lin Sisi, holding her stomach, urged, âSlow down! We just ate. Xiao Jiu, take it easy!â
Chu Jinling had previously stolen Chu Yihanâs wine and felt invigorated. When Lin Sisi couldnât keep up, he turned around, lifted her onto his shoulder, and rushed away.
As he ran, he exclaimed, âBurp⦠canât be slow! My imperial uncle will kill people! Whoever dares to disrupt his plans will face death!â
âUgh⦠Puff!â
Chu Jinling stopped in an empty alley and suddenly heard a strange sound behind him. He turned around while still carrying Lin Sisi and mumbled, âStrange, thereâs no one here.. Where did that sound come from?â
