Chapter 98 Princess VS Emperor

“Want some?”

Zhao Ran took a piece of chocolate from the coffee table drawer and handed it to Bai Youwei.

Seeing her puzzled expression, he explained, “This afternoon, while you were napping, I went out especially to buy it.”

Bai Youwei finally examined the chocolate in his hand carefully.

“Hmm…”

It was actually her favorite flavor.

She also remembered last week.

She casually remarked that it was a long time since she ate any.

At that moment the damn Zhao Ran replied sarcastically, “You are dumb enough already.”

“Sweet food will make you even dumber.”

She never expected that…

“No way!”

This was not his usual style.

Something strange always hid behind abnormal behavior.

She recalled that afternoon when Zhao Ran secretly filmed her while she slept.

“I won’t fall for your sugar-coated bullets!”

When she turned her face away to avoid Zhao Ran, her stomach protested at the wrong moment.

Zhao Ran looked at her embarrassed state and could not help but chuckle.

She possessed no other talent, only a stubborn mouth.

“Eat a couple of bites first and make do; I’ll go to the kitchen to warm the dishes.”

He figured that if he kept holding it out, the hard-mouthed girl certainly would not accept it.

So Zhao Ran simply placed the chocolate on the coffee table and walked toward the kitchen.

Bai Youwei watched his departing back and felt dazed for a moment.

This time he actually did not seize the chance to mock her.

Did he suddenly grow a conscience?

Still, Zhao Ran like this actually was not so annoying.

“Ugh!”

“Why am I thinking about this!”

She was nearly starving.

Bai Youwei picked up the chocolate and took small bites.

“Ding-dong!”

A phone notification rang.

She picked it up with a puzzled look and glanced at the screen.

Hurry Up and Sleep: Weiwei, is the issue resolved?

Pretty Girl Soldier: Mm! I misunderstood him.

Hurry Up and Sleep: As long as it is resolved, that is fine.

Hurry Up and Sleep: By the way, we plan to join the opening ceremony of the school sports meet; do you want to join us?

With him?

Bai Youwei thought about it and decided to forget it.

Although Zhao Ran today indeed changed her view a little.

Who knew whether after sleeping until tomorrow he would return to his old self.

Just as she prepared to refuse, another message popped up.

Hurry Up and Sleep: If Senior doesn’t want to take part, then help me persuade Zhao Ran.

Bai Youwei needed no thought to know that the elementary school little brother sent this.

However, if Zhao Ran went up to perform, it seemed pretty interesting.

She just did not know what kind of performance it was.

Thinking this, Bai Youwei clamped the chocolate between her lips and typed quickly on the keyboard.

Pretty Girl Soldier: Elementary school little brother, what performance is it!

On the other side.

A few minutes earlier.

On the sofa.

The two of them moved their lips slightly as if they were discussing something.

Shen Qingxuan opened the picture that Jiang Yubing just selected and sent.

After one glance, he almost threw the phone away.

A pink dress was one thing.

But damn, it even had lace along the edges…

A tough guy like him would wear this to perform?

Was he sure he would not die socially?

“Wife, this outfit is way too hot!”

“Could it burn hotter than you?”

He was clearly handling serious business, yet he still took advantage of her.

What a little pervert!

Shen Qingxuan immediately refused to accept that.

“Jiang Yubing, I advise you to take back that line.”

“Otherwise I will adjust—”

Shen Qingxuan choked at the end of his sentence.

He followed Jiang Yubing’s gaze and saw his hand resting on her thigh.

“Adjust what?”

“Husband, finish what you were saying!”

Jiang Yubing wore an amused expression.

“Ahem, ahem…”

Shen Qingxuan coughed lightly a few times.

“I said the photo was a bit dark, I will tweak the color.”

Still, Bingbing’s legs were truly smooth, tender, and fair.

—Three True Affirmations from Shen Qingxuan.

He could play for one year…

No, he could play for at least ten years.

“I really don’t think that is what you mean.”

“How could it be? Your husband is a true gentleman.”

Jiang Yubing spat lightly.

If that idiot husband counted as a gentleman, then no decent person remained in this world.

Whenever she thought of how he tormented her in various ways every night, she felt both shy and helpless.

Jiang Yubing immediately flushed.

She lowered her head to the hand still resting on her thigh and punched Shen Qingxuan on the shoulder.

“Still touching.”

“You already hit me to vent, so if I move my hand now, wasn’t that slap for nothing?”

She looked at his shameless appearance.

“Twisting logic.”

At that moment.

A message from Bai Youwei arrived.

Jiang Yubing typed a reply.

“Dance performance; I’ll send you the cosplay costumes first.”

She sent all the selected pictures to Bai Youwei.

Jiang Yubing just put down the phone when she felt where the idiot husband’s hand lay.

Jiang Yubing hurriedly slapped his hand away and said helplessly, “Why is it climbing higher and higher?”

Shen Qingxuan withdrew his hand and beamed at her, “Beloved consort, the night is growing late; should you not attend to my bed?”

“So improper.”

Although Jiang Yubing said this, her arms still wrapped around Shen Qingxuan’s neck.

Serving his bed was impossible.

She mainly thought the idiot husband was right.

Night was deep, and it really was time to sleep.

Jiang Yubing’s response delighted Shen Qingxuan.

His little wife had a sharp tongue but an honest body.

He would make her beg through tears later.

Shen Qingxuan wrapped an arm around her waist and carried her back to the bedroom in a princess carry.

What followed was an unprecedented great battle.

Princess VS Emperor!

…

After Bai Youwei looked through all the pictures, she quietly formed a plan.

That damned Zhao Ran had just frightened her.

She simply did not know how to take revenge.

Her good best friend conveniently delivered a pillow right when she needed one.

Moreover, she already harbored this idea before.

She only wondered how to persuade him to agree.

Bai Youwei felt troubled for a moment.

“What are you thinking about so late at night!”

Just then Zhao Ran’s voice sounded.

He had just come out carrying a bowl of soup when he saw Bai Youwei’s worried face.

Could it still be because of what happened earlier?

That could not be…

Although sometimes she really was a bit crazy.

She rarely stayed angry for so long.

Zhao Ran shook his head and dismissed the thought.

“It’s nothing.”

His sudden voice startled Bai Youwei.

To hide her panic, she quickly picked up the spoon and gently stirred the thick soup.

“When did you learn to cook soup?”

She scooped a spoonful, blew it cool, and the sweet-and-sour tomato flavor spread across her tongue.

Sitting beside Bai Youwei, Zhao Ran subconsciously turned to look at her and said, “Last month you said you missed your mother’s soup, so I looked up the recipe.”

“But…”

“Mom’s flavor, how could Dad…”

After hearing this, Bai Youwei froze.

The spoon tapped the rim of the bowl with a crisp sound.

When she came back to herself, she suddenly lifted her head and met Zhao Ran’s gaze.

This always sharp-tongued man, caught peeking, showed slightly red ear tips.

She watched him shift his gaze away in panic.

Bai Youwei recalled the debate competition.

He spoke eloquently on stage as the best debater.

Yet now he felt at a loss before her.

“Zhao Ran.”

Bai Youwei suddenly spoke, watching his back straighten at once, “Are you—”

“I’m going to bed!”

Zhao Ran sprang up and almost bumped into the corner of the sofa in his haste.

Bai Youwei watched his fleeing back and bit her lips tightly.

She suddenly felt that this man who always opposed her was rather cute.
