The two of them hit it off immediately and slipped out without any attendants. This was truly the capital of a nation, with the streets bustling with activity. Mei Kaiyi wandered around happily, buying whatever caught her eye. Fei Zhou appeared more reserved, clearly interested but trying to maintain a “What haven’t I seen before?” princely demeanor.
After getting tired from walking, they arrived at the most famous restaurant in the capital.
Mei Kaiyi originally wanted to eat in the main hall, which was more lively. But Fei Zhou patted her shoulder appreciatively, saying, “Sister is saving money for the imperial brother? Ah, for the imperial brother to have such a wife, this prince is truly envious.”
Hearing this, Mei Kaiyi silently rushed to a private room and ordered a table full of delicacies and rare dishes. Why would she want to save money? She was going to spend all of Fei Zuo’s money!
With this thought, Mei Kaiyi’s eyes lit up, startling Fei Zhou. Then she sat down and began devouring the food like a whirlwind…
Fei Zhou ate a bit and asked, “Does the imperial brother’s residence usually mistreat you?”
“No, it’s just a little better than this.”
“Then why are you eating so ravenously?” Fei Zhou choked slightly.
“You don’t understand! The meaning is different!” Mei Kaiyi pouted. “When you’re out and have to pay, if you don’t eat more, how can you do justice to Fei Zuo? Haha—cough cough—”
“What kind of logic is that? Don’t they buy things from outside at the residence too?” Fei Zhou patted her back. “What’s the rush?”
“Cough cough—choked.”
After finishing the meal, Mei Kaiyi discovered her money had vanished. Looking at Fei Zhou, he indicated he never carries money.
Mei Kaiyi was distressed. “What should we do?”
“…”
“Should I stay here while you go back to get money? But then Fei Zuo, that bastard, would definitely look down on me.”
“…” Fei Zhou.
Mei Kaiyi tentatively asked, “Will you go?”
“No!” Fei Zhou immediately refused, dejected. “This prince can’t lose face like that.”
“Should we ask for credit by revealing our identity?”
But that would be even more embarrassing. Mei Kaiyi was conflicted, becoming more and more troubled…
