Chapter 131: What treasure is it
Empress Running Away with the Ball
âWhat third sister in law! Everyone knows that you and him have not finishing your ceremonies. You have worshiped the heaven and earth together, you havenât exchanged wine cups, and you havenât been in the same room with him!â He angrily said.
âBut I am engaged to him by the emperor. I am his princess and we canât deny that fact.â Chen Ning blinked and said.
âIf you are willing, I can bring you away from here and go to a pace where no one will be able to find you. There, you wonât be a princess or live in a dog kennel like wooden hut and I, I will......will.....â His face suddenly turned red. There was something that had been in his heart for a while and he wanted to say it now, but he couldnât help feeling shy.
Chen Ning did not give him a chance to say it. She just shook her head and said, âIâve said it before, I like living here. I wonât go anywhere else.â
Chu Shao Baiâs face turned white and the fiery blood in his veins froze.
âYou still like my third brother, no matter what he does to you, even if he hits you, insults you, or abuses you. He even threw you into this wooden hut while heâs affectionately playing around with your sister, yet your heart still only has him, right!â He gritted his teeth and said.
Chen Ning smiled.
âOf course not!â Was she really as cheap as he said she was?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThen why donât you leave him! Why donât you leave this place?â Chu Shao Bai stared deeply into her eyes.
âWhen did I say that Iâm not willing to leave him?â Chen Ning smiled and retorted.
âYou just said it!â He suppressed his anger and said.
âOh.â Chen Ning smiled once again. It was as if the angrier he was, the more she would smile.
âOnce Iâve finished what I want to do, naturally Iâll leave, only right now......The time isnât right yet.â She looked down, âXiao Bai, let go of me and letâs have a proper conversation.â
She was being held in his arms, breathing the pure aura being scattered from his body. Although in her heart he was just a little brother, she still had to admit that he was already grown up. In the ancient era men came of age at twenty years old, so he could be considered a man already.
âI wonât let go until you tell me when the right time is.â He stubbornly said.
He really was a stubborn little brat.ã
Chen Ning was a little angry, but she knew that she couldnât deal with him by being angry.
She rolled her eyes and suddenly let out an âaiyoâ sound.
âWhatâs wrong?â He finally relaxed his grip a little.
âWhat treasure are you hiding in your chest, itâs so hard. Itâs so painful.â Chen Ning complained while changing the topic.
âYou mean this?â Chu Shao Bai was fooled and was suddenly distracted.
He let go of her wrist and pulled out a palm sized little box from his chest. He treated it like a treasure as he carefully placed it in front of her.
âThis is for you.â He smiled while a trace of pride appeared in his eyes.
âWhat is it?â Chen Ning was curious.
âWonât you know once you open it?â He deliberately kept her guessing.
Chen Ning couldnât help rolling her eyes. She did not plan to accept this gift, but seeing his expression, she changed her mind.
Just looking at it did not mean she would accept it.
She gently opened the lid and she saw a smaller box inside of the box, it was covered in cotton bag. She didnât know why he was being so mysterious about it.
She suddenly remembered how she used to play pranks on her friends when she was younger. She would place something strange in a box and then get her friends to open it.
For example, a caterpillar, a tadpole, or even some bees. Once the box was opened, it would scare her friends.
