Seeing my reaction, he quickly pulled his hand back: “Forget it. Since you don’t have anything more valuable on you, I’ll keep this worthless stone for now. I hope it’s as important as you say!”
Early the next morning, Qi Chenxuan was nowhere to be seen, apparently executing my ABC plan. Feeling bored, I dragged the maid Shui out for a street walk.
After wandering for over two hours, when the sun was high, the maid suddenly grabbed my sleeve: “Madam, we’ve been out for quite a while. It’s time to return to the mansion, right?”
I looked at her curiously: “You were just having so much fun. Why suddenly want to go back?”
I’m not done playing, so if you want to go back, go by yourself!”
“But, but…”
The little maid lowered her head, nervously fidgeting with her hem, looking hesitant.
I frowned impatiently: “But what?”
“But… Shui is hungry!” she finally blurted out, blushing. “Can we eat first and then continue shopping?”
I thought it was something serious and couldn’t help rolling my eyes: “If you want to eat, just say so directly. There’s a restaurant right there. Why go all the way back?”
Shui glanced at the restaurant’s sign and worried: “But I heard it’s very expensive.”
I glared at her: “What are you talking about? I’m the prince’s consort. Do you think I can’t afford a meal on the street?”
The maid quickly explained: “Madam, don’t misunderstand! I’m just worried that the money you brought is almost spent, and we might not have enough to pay the bill, which would be embarrassing!”
I realized we had indeed bought many things, and checking my purse, it was nearly empty. But I really didn’t want to go back just yet…
Just then, I caught a familiar figure in my peripheral vision. Delighted, I immediately ran up and grabbed someone’s clothes from behind, demanding: “Brat, treat me to a meal!”
Wei Feng heard my voice, his handsome face immediately falling. Turning, he smiled awkwardly: “Consort, we meet again. Beijing is really small!”
“Not quite,” I lightly smiled and shook my head.
“I remember telling you last time, this is called enemies crossing paths!”
