Chapter 985 - 147 Tasty Mouse_2
Xiao Linshuang snickered, patted Zhao Hongyan’s shoulder like brothers, and said, "You’ve got good taste! But you see, the stuff from Fuman Building isn’t the tastiest either, compared to my big sister’s cooking there’s still... cough, cough, why does my throat suddenly feel so uncomfortable, cough, water, need water."
Frantically scrambling for the teacup on the table, Xiao Linshuang was about to cry from her own stupidity; she had agreed not to mention her big sister, so why did she let it slip? Oh no, how clumsy of her!
Zhao Hongyan thought she was really choking on her own saliva and helped her with the water, while Eunuch Chang watched, agape. The Sixth Prince, pampered by Consort Tian in the imperial palace, had never poured water for anyone, not even for his own mother!
"How about now, how about now? Feeling better?"
Zhao Hongyan patted Xiao Linshuang’s back with great consideration. His tenderness almost made her feel too ashamed to keep pretending, but before her guilt could grow, the little prince continued the earlier topic: "You just mentioned your big sister? So her cooking is even better than the chef from Fuman Building? I’ve heard that the new boss of Fuman Building is a very good cook, and also, there’s a sister."
As Zhao Hongyan spoke, he observed Xiao Linshuang’s expression attentively from the corner of his eye, trying to detect whether she was lying.
Fortunately, Xiao Linshuang had calmed down while drinking water and boldly met Zhao Hongyan’s gaze. With a mysterious smile, she gestured for him to come closer and whispered, "Have you ever heard the saying, ’A golden den and a silver den are not as good as one’s own dog den?’"
Eunuch Chang was taken aback and couldn’t help but burst out laughing, and even Lao Fan under the bed was chuckling with his beard curling up.
