Chapter 72

When Luo Qinghan walked in, he saw Xiao Liangdi clutching her neck, struggling to breathe, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"What happened?"

Baoqin hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Xiao Liangdi was choked by a fish ball."

Luo Qinghan walked over and used his inner strength to gently pat Xiao Xixi's back.

The fish ball was immediately spit out.

Xiao Xixi took deep breaths, narrowly escaping being choked to death by a fish ball.

Luo Qinghan looked at her coldly: "How stupid can you be, to get choked by a fish ball?"

Xiao Xixi felt extremely wronged.

She thought, if you hadn't suddenly appeared, I wouldn't have been choked by the fish ball.

She stood up and bowed respectfully.

Luo Qinghan looked at the abundant dishes on the table, his brows furrowing even more.

"You started eating before I arrived?"

Xiao Xixi explained softly: "I waited for you for a long time, and I was so hungry. I thought it was so late, you probably wouldn't come, so I started eating."

She paused and then asked cautiously: "Have you had your dinner? If not, please join me, I just started eating."

Luo Qinghan said nothing and sat down at the table.

Baoqin immediately said: "I'll go and cook two more dishes."

Xiao Xixi nodded vigorously: "Good, good!"

Baoqin walked away happily.

She had thought that the Crown Prince had been lured away by Zhao Meiren, but she didn't expect the Crown Prince to come to the Qingge Hall.

What did this mean?

It meant that the Crown Prince truly loved her mistress!

Even if Zhao Meiren tried to cause trouble, the Crown Prince ultimately chose Xiao Liangdi!

Baoqin felt elated at this thought and cooked with even more enthusiasm.

A clean set of chopsticks and a bowl were placed in front of Luo Qinghan.

Xiao Xixi eagerly served him food and soup.

"Your Highness must be hungry, eating at this hour. Eat more, you're still growing, and eating more will help you grow taller."

Luo Qinghan drank the soup and ate the food without expression, not saying a word throughout.

Soon, Baoqin brought over two fragrant dishes.

Xiao Xixi quickly picked up her chopsticks and sighed as she ate: "So delicious, Baoqin, with your cooking skills, I could love you for a thousand years!"

"What nonsense are you talking, Miss?" Baoqin blushed and ran away.

After they finished eating, Luo Qinghan went to wash up.

When he came out after bathing, he saw that Xiao Xixi was already lying on the bed, asleep.

Luo Qinghan stood by the bed, silently looking at the woman.

His mood was very bad tonight.

Everyone had turned against him just because he believed her suggestion.

He thought that even if the whole world didn't believe him, at least she would stand by his side.

But she didn't ask anything and just slept soundly without a care.

Damn woman.

Luo Qinghan's dissatisfaction grew exponentially.

He reached out, pinched her cheek, and pulled her tender, fair face almost out of shape.

Xiao Xixi woke up in pain.

She opened her mouth and made a muffled sound.

"What are you doing, Your Highness?"

Luo Qinghan let go of her, looked at the red marks on her face, and said coldly: "Get up."

Xiao Xixi struggled to get up, rubbed her still sore cheek, and asked pitifully: "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping, Your Highness? Why did you wake me up?"

"Can't you tell?"

Xiao Xixi looked bewildered: "Huh?"

"My mood is very bad."

Since she couldn't tell, he would tell her himself.

He couldn't be the only one unhappy.

He had to make her unhappy too.
