Chapter 171 : The Emperor’s Birthday Celebration (3)
As Zhou Guiying sat next to Zhang Fengxi opposite Xie Jianyu, he recalled a wide-spread proverb that went like this -- "The closest encounter to hell is a jealous alpha husband".
The proverb could not ring truer at this moment.
Mingyu and Qingyun, smart as hell, recognized the dangerous situation as soon as Zhang Fengxi showed up. They quickly fled to another table, leaving Zhou Guiying in this difficult predicament.
Perching happily on Xie Jianyu’s shoulder again, Caihong squealed in Zhou Guiying’s direction. For some reason, the bird looked mighty proud of himself. Stupid feathered animal...
Aaaaah, the prince of Qingyuan Palace sighed in his heart.
In his legendary, bountiful love escapades, he had ruined the marriages of several men and women -- some betas and some omegas. But usually, he was always mindful of the strength and character of his opponents.
He would never challenge someone who he could not win against.
Zhang Fengxi was for example someone he would not want to offend.
A while later, two waiters came with five trays of delicacies and five bowls of warm white rice for all five of them. There was a plate of spicy mutton skewers, a plate of sauteed vegetables with garlic, a tray of steamed fish with tofu, a plate of fried crab meatballs, and also a big bowl of chicken and potato soup.
"Esteemed guests, please enjoy your meal!" After they finished unloading the dishes onto the two tables, the two waiters bowed deeply and left.
"No need to stand on ceremony, please eat," Xie Jianyu said.
