Evil Prince, Come Play With Me

Chapter 712: Treated Gently for the First Time

“Where is Mr. Xiao?” Didn’t he ask the butler to invite him over? Why didn’t Mr. Xiao come?

Gu Bailu chuckled. “Qian’er isn’t feeling well. I asked Mr. Xiao to take a look.”

“What?!” Lu Fenying sat up and his face turned extremely cold. “Get him here right now!”

He shocked Gu Bailu. “What are you doing? Qian’er isn’t feeling well. She’ll recover faster with Mr. Xiao around. She doesn’t have Dragon Spirit Blood anymore...”

“Don’t let that Xiao guy touch her!” Lu Fenying rushed off the bed and ran out in an instant.

Gu Bailu pursed her lips. Was it just her imagination? Lu Fenying’s face was no longer pale and his stomach wasn’t burning anymore. He was full of fighting spirit, like a man out to catch an adulterous couple in the act.

Could it be that he and Mr. Xiao had some secret history?

Gu Bailu put on her cloak and hurried after him.

Lu Fenying’s garden was very, very far away from the northern courtyard. One was in the south and the other was in the north, and Prince Zi’s residence covered an area that was tens of thousands of square meters in size.

So, no matter how fast Lu Fenying ran, it still took him fifteen minutes to reach the northern courtyard.

Mo Qian’er had just had breakfast when Mr. Xiao came to visit her. He was wearing a light gray robe and carrying a wooden medical box on his back. His hair was tied into a bun with just a light gray ribbon.

But no matter how plain his clothes were, they couldn’t hide Mr. Xiao’s beauty, and his face was as clean as jade.

There was a light smile on his face, which was as warm as a spring breeze.

Mo Qian’er would always remember the first time she saw Mr. Xiao. Back then, she had almost frozen to death in the cold lake. The first thing she saw when she woke up was this handsome, smiling face.

He had gently checked her pulse and told her she would be fine and would recover soon.

When he drew her blood, he comforted her patiently. “It’ll only hurt a little. I’ll try to be gentle.”

Mo Qian’er had never been treated gently before. Mr. Xiao was like a ray of morning light which illuminated her dark life.

But she knew that the light would never belong to her, and he was only treating her with a doctor’s care.

She put her thoughts away.

When she met him once more in Prince Zi’s residence, she restrained herself well. She knew that she didn’t have warmth, but she also knew that she wasn’t qualified for any man to be nice to her.

“I didn’t expect to see you again so soon.” Mr. Xiao put down the medical box and looked at her bump. “You’re growing fast.”

Mo Qian’er smiled. “That’s right. I didn’t expect to return.”

She got up and poured Mr. Xiao a cup of tea. “Did Princess Zi ask you to come?”

Mr. Xiao nodded. “Yes. Have you been eating well recently?”

Mo Qian’er touched her wrist. It seemed to have gotten meatier again. She smiled in embarrassment. “Did I get a lot fatter?”

“You were too skinny in the past. It’s better for you to have more meat on your bones now. Women are healthier when they’re plump,” Mr. Xiao said with a smile. “Look at Princess Zi. See how well she’s doing when she’s so plump.”

Mo Qian’er smiled. “That’s right. Princess Zi is very lucky. She’s very strong and Prince Zi is very nice to her.”

Mr. Xiao, however, said, “Don’t be fooled by how happy she is. She suffered a lot in the past. Her situation wasn’t much better than yours.”
