Chapter 496: The feeling of being tricked
“Sure.” Prince Jing really wasn’t shy, and imdiately shouted loudly, “Waiter, another set of chopsticks and bowl.”
“Coming right up…” As the waiter responded, Ye Jiu’s face turned black.
Fortunately, she had already visited several restaurants before and had collected quite a lot of dishes. So, it seed fine to treat him to a al at this table, Ye Jiu thought.
However, Prince Jing wasn’t done talking. He grabbed the chopsticks and bowl that had just arrived, picked up a bite and stuffed it into his mouth, and continued to ask, “You, a young lady, ordered such a full table of dishes, can you finish it all by yourself?”
Ye Jiu gave him a sidelong glance, “I didn’t know I would et the Prince today, so I specially ordered the dishes and have been waiting, right!”
Eat, eat, eat, why don’t you choke on it, Ye Jiu thought petulantly.
Thinking about it, although she had run through several restaurants, she hadn’t yet eaten a bite so far, being preoccupied with collecting the dishes.
Ye Jiu simply picked up the chopsticks and started eating as well.
Seeing Ye Jiu’s huffy deanor, Prince Jing knew how insincere her words were.
Nonetheless, it was indeed quite strange for Ye Jiu to order a whole table of dishes all by herself and sit without touching them.
Could it be that she was waiting for soone?
The thought crossed Prince Jing’s mind.
It was odd, but he didn’t take it too seriously.
No matter who this girl was waiting for, could they be more distinguished than himself? There were plenty who wished to invite Prince Jing to a al, but he didn’t necessarily grace them with his presence!
“I visited the Liu family today,” Prince Jing said out of the blue, putting down his chopsticks.
“Oh, Prince Jing went to visit the Yue family without bringing the Princess Consort along!” Ye Jiu responded nonchalantly.
These people, having just tricked her, were still showing off in front of her—did they feel so sort of achievent?
Seeing Ye Jiu’s disinterested expression, he knew that she was still feeling uncomfortable.
Helplessly, Prince Jing explained, “I have warned the Liu family not to engage in their forceful and domineering ways anymore.”
Right!
Reminded by Prince Jing, Ye Jiu suddenly rembered his promise to be her backer.
Thinking this, Ye Jiu’s eyes suddenly lit up as she looked at Prince Jing again.
“Why are you looking at like that?” Prince Jing didn’t say it out loud, but Ye Jiu’s gaze made him feel like he was being sched against.
“You did say you would be my backer, you can’t go back on your word, oh,” Ye Jiu reminded.
“Of course.” So, it was just this little thing, Prince Jing thought it was sothing more serious.
As long as this girl didn’t create a hole in the sky of the capital city, he could handle it.
Just so long as it wasn’t about the soap formula.
Speaking of the soap, the issue wasn’t a big one.
However, it was a critical mont; the Liu family had just contributed a large sum of money to the national treasury, so it was not a good ti to trouble them.
Otherwise, even if he ordered the Liu family to return the soap formula to Ye Jiu, that wouldn’t be a big problem.
But Ye Jiu already knew that the soap matter was beyond redemption, so naturally, she wouldn’t bring it up again.
“It’s like this…” Ye Jiu shared her plan to open a store in the capital city and ntioned that it was customary to offer so benefits to secure good relations for the long term, otherwise, it would not be conducive to a harmonious relationship.
Prince Jing imdiately promised, “Just opening a store, right? No problem, when your store opens I’ll co by and give you my support. In the capital city, definitely no one will dare to ss with it, and there’s no need to worry about sharing profits.”
A mighty Prince like himself, with not an insignificant wealth in Prince Jing’s royal residence, certainly wasn’t interested in a little profit-sharing money.
