Chapter 171 - The eldest Princess and Emperor Sheng Wen’s meeting at the soothing Lake

“I see.” Shen Lu smiled. He retracted his finger. He turned around and entered the manor. “Aunty, aren’t you going to look for him?” Xiao Zhou was puzzled and asked curiously. “I’m going to get something. I’ll take the cake to his place for his birthday. ” “Can I freeload a meal?” “If you’re not afraid that I’ll break your legs, then come and try.” Xiao Zhou was speechless. They arrived at Xiao ran’s house. The residence was quiet, and the bedroom was dimly lit. The door wasn’t locked, so he closed it from the inside. He tried to push it, and it opened. Shen Lu was stunned. She blinked suspiciously.”What is he doing?” They entered the hall. Looking at the bathtub in front of him, Xiao ran sat in it and took a bath. His beautiful eyes lit up, and surprise was written all over his face. Not only did he not cry out, he was not afraid, nor was he embarrassed. He walked over quickly and stopped by the bathtub. At a close distance, she sized up Xiao ran, who was in the bucket. Only his head was exposed, and his lower body was completely covered by the water. Her beautiful eyes turned slyly as she thought of a crooked idea. “If I let go of all the water in the bucket, wouldn’t my wish be fulfilled?” She stretched out her finger, and a white spiritual light flowed on her fingertip. She gently tapped the bottom of the wooden bucket, and silently broke the wooden bucket, revealing a hole. Water flowed out of the hole. With anticipation, his eyes did not even blink. “What are you doing?” Xiao ran woke up with a start. Seeing her standing in front of him, the water in the bucket was still decreasing, and he was shocked. She stood up in a hurry and was about to leave, but then she remembered that she hadn’t put on her clothes, so she sat back down. Shen Lu reached out her finger and tapped his forehead. She smiled.””I’m a big girl and I’m not afraid, so what are you afraid of? Even if I’m at a disadvantage, I’m the one who’s at a disadvantage, okay?” “Hurry up and get out!” Xiao ran was anxious. “I won ‘t! It’s Xiao Zhou’s fault for inviting you over to celebrate my birthday. If you don’t come, I won’t be leaving today. ” “You’re really not going out?” “I won ‘t!” Suddenly, Xiao ran’s eyes lit up. He pointed outside exaggeratedly and shouted,””Little Zhou, what are you doing here?” Shen Lu was stunned. She looked back. It was raining heavily outside. Where was her nephew? He cursed in his heart,”not good, I’ve been tricked.” He came back to his senses. Xiao ran had already left the bathtub and put on his clothes. He looked at the water on the ground and used his spiritual power to evaporate it. Then, he placed the wooden bucket outside. He sat on the chair and looked at her unhappily.”What exactly do you want?” Shen Lu stepped forward and smiled.”I like you.” Xiao ran was speechless. There was no way to chat anymore, she was killing him. They’ve only met a few times and she already likes me, is she sick? He didn’t say anything and just drank his tea in silence. Shen Lu sat beside him, her hands under her chin. She looked at him up close. Once he finished his tea, she would fill his cup. After drinking half a pot of tea, Xiao ran could not drink anymore. Seeing that she was about to pour him another cup of tea, he reached out to stop her.”What exactly do you want?” “It’s my birthday today, but you’re ignoring me. ” Shen Lu pouted her lips, feeling wronged. “I’m not familiar with you. ” “I’m close to you. ” Shen Lu retorted. Xiao ran rubbed his temples. He would rather have a big fight with the demons than to chat with her. It was too infuriating. “Wait here. You’re not allowed to leave. I’ll go to the kitchen to cook. It’s my birthday today, so you must accompany me.” Xiao ran opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he sighed. When he returned, a sumptuous dinner had been prepared. There were a total of twelve dishes, two soups, two desserts, a pot of wine, and a cake. “Can we finish this much?” Xiao ran said. “If you can’t finish it, Xiao Wu will eat it.” Shen Lu said. She cut a piece of the cake and passed it to Xiao ran. She blinked her big bright eyes at him and said,”it’s my birthday today. Don’t you want to say anything to me?” “I wish you a Happy Birthday. This day will come every year.” Xiao ran said after thinking for a while. “Thank you!” Shen Lu was happy. She picked up her chopsticks and placed some food into his bowl. “You should eat it too.” Xiao ran was speechless. How long would it take to finish a table full of dishes? “I want to maintain my figure.” It wasn’t easy for them to finish their meal. Shen Lu’s stomach was full. She closed the door and smiled mysteriously. That smile was as if she wanted to eat him up. Xiao ran shivered and asked nervously,”what are you doing?” “Today is a very special day. If nothing happens, do you think it’s good?” “I think it’s better for you to leave now.” Xiao ran said. He was forced into a corner and only stopped when there was no place to retreat. The two of them chatted like this until they were tired. Then, they sat on the chairs and chatted for the whole night. It was mainly Shen Lu talking and Xiao ran listening. If he were to doze off, she would touch his face, making Xiao ran extremely nervous, afraid that she would do something even more outrageous. It was not easy to endure until dawn. After she left, Xiao ran washed his face with dark circles under his eyes. He didn’t go to the divine sword guards or the Imperial prison to check in. Instead, he laid on his bed and fell asleep. She was in a daze. When he felt someone calling him, he opened his eyes and saw that it was little Zhou. He sat up on the bed and knocked him on the head.”You still dare to appear?” Xiao Zhou covered her head in grievance.”Brother Xiao, you really can’t blame me. It has nothing to do with me. Aunty came here herself. I can’t tie her up, right?” “Is that so?” Xiao ran glared at him. Xiao Zhou hurriedly changed the topic.”His Excellency asked me to tell you to go back immediately.” “What happened?” “I’m not sure! However, Daren’s unprecedented solemness made you have to arrive at noon. “n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
