I married an exasperating eunuch Chapter 39 part 3

Chapter 39 The prank (3)

Li Youde smiled with squinted eyes at Chen Hui. He felt a bit angry and a bit helpless. Really a brave one. A few days ago, she was still holding his thigh and begging for mercy to show her loyalty, but now she dared to play tricks on him.

He looked at the three jujube cakes left in the food box and laughed cheerfully, “Lady Chen your jujube cakes are not bad.” He paused, “It seems that you have lost weight these days. Come, eat more.”

He picked up a piece and reached it to Chen Hui’s mouth.

Chen Hui leaned back slightly and said with a smile, “Thanking lord for your kindness. This Lady Chen is not hungry.”

Li Youde’s mouth twitched, but his face became cold and he laughed, “I personally feed you, you won’t eat it?” This sounded very intimate, but it was full of threats.

Chen Hui sighed inwardly. So annoying. Was this considered shooting herself in the foot?

“No need to trouble lord. This Lady Chen will eat it by myself,” Chen Hui said.

Li Youde said, “It is not troublesome. I happen to be idle today. Lady Chen has helped me so much. I have to thank Lady Chen.”

Alright, this was not giving her a chance to play tricks at all.

Chen Hui looked pitifully at Li Youde. Seeing that he was unmoved, she could only open her mouth to bite the jujube cake. She didn’t dare to chew and swallowed it.

She ate in small bites for a while. The jujube cake in Li Youde’s hand got smaller and smaller. Chen Hui accidentally touched his finger with her lips when she bit again. Chen Hui was immersed in the pain of enduring the sweetness of the jujube cake and didn’t pay attention. However, Li Youde was staring at her. he saw with his eyes and felt with his finger. He moved his gaze slightly and suddenly retracted his hand. He threw the pastry back into the food box and said, “Take it back and eat it by yourself.”

Chen Hui was stunned and then smiled, “Thank you, lord.”

She hurriedly packed the food box, bid goodbye to Li Youde and happily returned to her own room. Go back to her room to eat, who would know whether she ate it or not? In no way would she torture herself to eat this kind of sinister food!

Li Youde was really busy these days. Chen Hui couldn’t take it anymore after spending almost a week in Li residence. Although, she would draw designs every day and make some sinister food, but it was hard to become frugal after becoming accustomed to luxury. The days that she was strolling idly outside were so free and easy, she was finally unable to contain herself after forcefully locking herself up.

At first, after the so-called three-day appointment had passed, Chen Hui was still a little nervous and afraid that Wen Jing would do something. However, a few days had passed and nothing had happened. Chen Hui guessed that the other party must’ve given up. Even if there was a possibility that he hasn’t given up, she couldn’t lock herself up in Li residence forever. When going out, she would bring Xiao Liu and Xiao Tiao, not separate from them and not going to chaotic places. There probably wouldn’t be a loophole for Wen Jing to take advantage of. Moreover, if Wen Jing still hasn’t given up, she could have a good talk with him and let him have no more illusions about her, otherwise, he would always be a time bomb that made her unable to rest assured.

Chen Hui went out again on this day. She went to Li Clan’s Cloth Shop first and looked at her ready-to-wear clothes that had become finished products from her designs with an appreciative look. When shopkeeper Wu of Li Clan’s Cloth Shop saw Chen Hui, he told her that some customers wanted to see the ready-to-wear clothes and came to ask for the price. He didn’t know how to respond, so, he could only wait for Chen Hui to come for him to ask for instructions.

Chen Hui praised these customers for their vision in secret and talked with shopkeeper Wu about her thoughts. There would only be one piece for each set of ready-to-wear clothes. After paying, the clothes could be changed in size and the customers could bring the new clothes if they have other requirements, but they may not be able to meet them. Shopkeeper Wu noted everything one by one. He had no objection to Chen Hui’s wayward way of doing business. Anyway, it didn’t affect the cloth shop’s business. Of course, even if it was affected, he would still have no objections. Lady Chen is the owner of the shop now and everything was up to her.

Chen Hui came out a little earlier. When she finished at Li Clan’s Cloth Shop, she went to her favorite Longsheng Restaurant for lunch this time. Chen Hui knew that Li Youde had a lot of money and never thought of saving his money. As soon as she came, she would have a private room, but unfortunately, there were so many guests today and the private rooms were already full. She had to sit in the lobby with Xiao Tiao and Xiao Liu, and choose a corner.

After eating their full, Chen Hui’s group walked out of the restaurant. Chen Hui still wanted to go shopping for food. While she was hesitating, a person suddenly ran into them a ran away. Xiao Liu suddenly yelled, “He took my purse!” He said to Chen Hui that she should go back into the restaurant and wait for him. Then, he hurriedly chased after the person.

There was another feeling in Chen Hui’s heart. As soon as she turned her gaze, she saw that five or six meters away on her right side, Wen Jing was standing there and looked at her with a deep gaze.

He didn’t come over. Chen Hui understood that he was waiting for her to go over. She really wanted to take this opportunity to make it clear to him, so, she said to Xiao Tiao, “Xiao Tiao, go inside and wait. I will take a stroll to digest.”

Xiao Tiao refused. Chen Hui’s expression darkened. Xiao Tiao had to go back to the restaurant first.

Chen Hui quickly walked to the side of the restaurant. Wen Jing turned and walked into the alley next to the restaurant, but was called to a halt by Chen Hui, “Just talk here.” She didn’t want to go to a place where there was no one, just in case the talk falls apart. It was easier to call for help in crowded places.

Wen Jing stopped, turned and looked at her. His face was deep like water, “Lady Chen, you didn’t come that day.” He waited on the bridge until late at night, but she didn’t come. He thought that she had stumbled onto something and couldn’t get out. So, he waited for another three days, but her shadow still couldn’t be seen. He knew that she wouldn’t come, so, he came.

Chen Hui sighed and said, “Really don’t come looking for me anymore. I am no longer the person you know.”

By a window facing the street on the second floor of Longsheng Restaurant, someone felt stuffed after drinking too much, so, he came to the window to get fresh air. Originally, he was just casually sweeping around, but his eyes were frozen when they moved to the right side below.

Someone in the private room came over drunkenly and said, “Lord Li, what are you looking at?! Come and let’s continue drinking!”

The man at the window didn’t turn his head. His gaze fell straight down and he said coldly, “You drink first. Here…hehe, there is an interesting scene to watch.”
