Chapter 530 I Want to Eat Longevity Noodles

When Shao Yanru came, Shao Wanru and Chu Liuchen were sitting opposite on the mat. Qu Le stepped back to the door after serving tea. Xiao Xuanzi stood beside her with a smile, looking quite amiable.

“Why are you here, Your Highness?” Shao Wanru looked Chu Liuchen up and down and asked in confusion.

“Because I want to come here!” Chu Liuchen raised his pretty eyes and said inadvertently.

“Your Highness, didn’t you say...” Came now a cautious inquiry from Shao Wanru.

Before she finished her words, they heard Qu Le’s voice from the door, “I pay you my respects, First Miss!”

She slowly closed her cherry mouth and shifted her gaze from Chu Liuchen to the door.

“Has your master got up?” Shao Yanru said gently in a soft and pleasant voice.

“My master has got up, but...” Qu Le seemed to intend to stop her from entering the room, but Shao Yanru interrupted her gently, “That’s good. I’m going inside to see her!”

Shao Yanru showed up at the door. Seeing Chu Liuchen, she seemed to be stunned for a moment and then walked in gracefully.

“I pay you my respects, Your Highness!” Shao Yanru walked up to Chu Liuchen and bowed sideways to him respectfully. She couldn’t stand steadily at the moment because of her foot injury and almost fell. Shuqi nimbly held her so that she didn’t fall.

Shao Yanru blushed and gently pushed Shuqi, seeming to feel ashamed of her indiscreet behavior, but she didn’t explain it.

“What’s the matter, First Miss Shao?” Chu Liuchen looked up at Shao Yanru and asked indifferently, as if he didn’t notice Shao Yanru’s gentle and restrained look.

“I come to see Fifth Sister and didn’t expect you are here.” Shao Yanru lowered her head and said with a reddish face.

“I am tired, so I come here to ask for a cup of tea from my cousin!” Chu Liuchen said. He picked up the teacup at his hand, put it down slowly after taking a sip, and then gave Shao Yanru a sidelong glance.

Shao Wanru was Rui’an Great Elder Princess’ granddaughter, so she could certainly be considered Chu Liuchen’s cousin. Nevertheless, this topic inevitably reminded Shao Yanru of her childhood. At that time, how she wished she were Rui’an Great Elder Princess’s biological granddaughter!

The room fell silent strangely. Shao Yanru stood there in embarrassment for a long while. Seeing that the two of them did not speak, she had to make her farewells softly.

Chu Liuchen waved his hand, and Shao Yanru left with a flushed face. After getting out of the room, she almost failed to hold back the anger in her heart.

Shao Wanru just sat there casually without saying anything, as if she were just an ordinary maid.

Clenching her teeth, she suppressed the anger in her, put on a gentle look, smiled gently at Xiao Xuanzi at the door, and then left slowly with the help of Shuqi.

He was just a sickly prince. Even if he was the best-looking, it was meaningless. He couldn’t compare with the glory and wealth she was about to get...

Shao Wanru was just lucky to be Rui’an Great Elder Princess’s granddaughter. If she was Rui’an Great Elder Princess’s granddaughter, she would be the princes’ cousin. But although she wasn’t their cousin, it was no big deal. Prince Yue and Prince Zhou still felt extraordinarily tender and protective toward her.

“Keep an eye on them.” After walking into the room, Shao Yanru let go of Shuqi’s hand, and instructed Shuqi after walking a few steps steadily.

Wasn’t Prince Chen even too sick to get up? Why did he come up the mountain and happen to come to Shao Wanru’s courtyard? Was it really a coincidence? She was inexplicably angry, and her eyes became gloomy...

“Cousin?” Shao Wanru said with a smile after Shao Yanru left.

“Don’t you think so, Zhuozhuo?” Chu Liuchen squinted his eyes and said leisurely. Then he swayed his chin toward the teacup in front of him and said naturally, “I am thirsty. Fill my cup!”

“Your Highness, why don’t you drink tea in your own mansion?” Although Shao Wanru reached out to fill his cup, she said impatiently.

“Of course I want more than a cup of tea. I’m hungry until now, so I especially come here to ask for a bowl of longevity noodles. I heard that the noodles here are great!”

After picking up the cup and taking a sip, Chu Liuchen pretended to be lost in contemplation and said.

“Your Highness, aren’t you afraid that it will be discovered?” Shao Wanru was not as patient as him. She gave him a hard look and said. He came and went so frequently that she was afraid that it would be discovered.

Moreover, he usually came here secretly, but this time he came here openly without being afraid of arousing others’ suspicion. Shao Yanru in the next room obviously came here to inquire about it just now.

Seeing that Shao Yanru was driven away by Chu Liuchen relentlessly, Shao Wanru felt inexplicably delighted.

“I have nothing to be afraid of. I’ve visited Imperial Grandmother before coming here,” Chu Liuchen said lazily, leaned back again and stretched out his hand to support his head, looking extremely lazy.

However, Shao Wanru took a deep breath and asked in astonishment, “Your Highness, have you told the Empress Dowager about it?”

“Can’t I tell her? At that time, in view of the fact that you were going to come up the mountain to observe mourning for your parents, it was inappropriate for you to get engaged with me. Now since you are going down the mountain, I don’t have to avoid meeting you!” Chu Liuchen gave her a sidelong glance and said slowly.

Shao Wanru felt flustered. Seeing him take it for granted, she didn’t know what to say and only felt confused.

“Zhuozhuo, do you mean that I don’t need to tell Imperial Grandmother about it? Not only Imperial Grandmother but also Rui’an Great Elder Princess know about our relationship!” Chu Liuchen said with a snort in displeasure. He reached out to grab Shao Wanru’s slender hand, making her almost run into the table and lie prone on the mat.

Feeling her hand held by Chu Liuchen and bitten hard by him, Shao Wanru couldn’t help screaming in pain and bursting into tears.

“Your Highness, how... how can you bite me...” Shao Wanru complained in an injured tone with a puckered mouth.

“Why can’t I do that? I will eat you once I get angry!” Looking at the bite mark on the back of Shao Wanru’s white hand, Chu Liuchen said complacently.

“Your Highness, you should mind your behavior as a Prince!” Shao Wanru said. She felt that she was calm, otherwise she would bite him too.

“Zhuozhuo, I am your fiance, right? I can certainly come to visit my fiancee without being stealthy!” Chu Liuchen said inadvertently.

Shao Wanru swallowed and looked at the door with a flushed face. She did not know when the door had been half closed and Qu Le and Xiao Xuanzi had left.

“Your Highness, did you tell the Empress Dowager that you were coming to see me?” Shao Wanru asked, letting out a sigh of relief in her heart. Despite her flushed face, she didn’t look nervous as before.

“Of course. I struggled to come up the mountain to celebrate your birthday. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have to do this!” Seeing Shao Wanru’s delicate facial features tangled, Chu Liuchen became joyful. So he stopped torturing her, just held her hand in his big hand, turned around lazily and said.

“Your Highness, are you not afraid of it being discovered?” Shao Wanru asked worriedly.

“What’s wrong with me wanting to marry you? They won’t allow me to do that?” Chu Liuchen squinted at Shao Wanru and said discontentedly.

“Your Highness, didn’t you mean that you wanted to make me your cover because you didn’t want to get married?” Shao Wanru tried hard to suppress the shock in her heart, opened her eyes wide to look at him and asked.

“Are you not my cover after marrying me? Don’t you really want to be my cover? Do you want to marry someone else?” Chu Liuchen said in an unkind tone.

Shao Wanru had never thought about marrying someone else. Since her rebirth, she had been tied to Chu Liuchen. Shao Wanru had never thought about it, so she immediately shook her head and said, “Your Highness, you really think too much. How could it be possible!”

“Since it’s impossible, just stop asking. You just need to marry into my mansion when the time comes. Or are you not satisfied with me?” Chu Liuchen said. He loosened his grip and raised Shao Wanru’s hand so that she could clearly see the bite mark on the back of her hand.

“Your Highness, what are you talking about? Since you have your plan, I’ll do as you ask!” Shao Wanru said helplessly. She was a little flustered and a little confused, or had some other feelings. But she could not figure them out for a while. She subconsciously wanted to clench her fists, but she failed to do that because one of her hands was firmly held by Chu Liuchen.

“After I come to see you this time, it will be convenient for me to come here in future. It’s inconvenient for me to come here in the middle of the night,” Chu Liuchen said naturally, as if it was Shao Wanru who always asked him to come here in the middle of the night.

Shao Wanru felt ashamed and angry. For a moment, she almost lost control of herself and intended to push Chu Liuchen away. However, he seemed to be unaware of this, still held Shao Wanru’s hand and said with deep feeling.

“No one asked you to come in the middle of the night!” Shao Wanru said impatiently. Anyway, there was no one else in the room, so she did not need to be too punctilious.

“Zhuozhuo, aren’t you the reason why I climbed over the wall in the middle of the night?” Chu Liuchen opened his eyes wide and said with a smile. Seeing Shao Wanru in front of him look like an annoyed little beast, he only found it interesting.

Since she was going to marry him, there was no way of letting her go!

As a cover, she should cover up something for him!

“Your Highness!” Shao Wanru said, about to become angry from embarrassment. She glared at Chu Liuchen with shame and annoyance and unconsciously raised her voice.

“Well, well, it’s all my fault. But I’m really hungry now. Serve me a bowl of longevity noodles!” Chu Liuchen stopped teasing Shao Wanru, took her hand and said.

“Your Highness, please let me get up first.” Shao Wanru reached out to withdraw her hand but failed, so she could only say helplessly.

Chu Liuchen was very obedient this time. He let go of her hand and Shao Wanru hurriedly withdrew her hand. She looked at the bite mark on the back of her hand and gave him a hard look. He did have healthy teeth. He just pretended to be seriously ill as she expected. She had seen through him. Flying here and there did no harm to him. How could he claim to be seriously ill?

She wouldn’t be deceived!

She bit her lip in anger and stood up helplessly. At this moment, Yujie should have come back. So she walked to the door and opened the door. As she expected, she saw Yujie holding a tray and standing beside Qu Le and Xiao Xuanzi.

“Give it to me!” Shao Wanru said.

Yujie hurriedly handed the tray to her. Shao Wanru took it. After entering the room, she returned to the mat, put the tray on the table and said impatiently, “Your Highness, the noodles are ready!”

There was only a bowl of noodles with chopped green onions on top. It was simple, but looked delicious.

There was only an extremely long strip of noodle in the bowl...
