Chapter 366: So Good-looking He Could Be Eaten
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Ying felt that Xiao Jin seemed to want to strangle her waist until it broke, but she didn’t know what he was so worked up about.
She twisted her body and slapped his hand away. “Why are you hugging me so tightly?”
“I’m worried you’ll feel cold.”
Su Ying looked at the blazing sun above her head and felt that Xiao Jin’s brain might be acting up again. “I’m not cold. Let go first.”
“No.”
Just as Su Ying was about to pinch his waist, the two little ones ran over when they saw their parents.
“Father, Mother.”
The two little fellows had changed their clothes, and their tiny faces were flushed. They pounced on their parents like birds returning to their nests.
When he saw the children, Xiao Jin loosened his grip slightly.
“What were you practicing with Mother just now?”
“Practicing dodging. Father, do you want to play with us too?”
“Alright. I’ll go with you two later.”
Prince Ma walked forward with a smile on his face. “Everyone says that Prince Qi and his Princess Consort are very close. It really makes people envious.”
Sima Chen looked at the two children, then at Su Ying, and felt even more upset. “Has Princess Consort Qi been to Prince Ma City?”
Su Ying didn’t even raise her eyes. “I passed by.”
That was a denial.
“Last year, in Prince Ma City, a woman who looked almost exactly like Princess Consort Qi cured Consort Mother. When I saw Princess Consort Qi, 1 thought Princess Consort Qi was that same woman.”
Su Ying raised her head and glanced at him. On account of the fact that Prince Ma’s Residence had been generous with their payment, she let him down gently. “What a coincidence. But it’s not that strange. There are many people in this world who look alike.”
After a series of denials, Sima Chen’s heart sank to the bottom of the abyss.
“It’s really too coincidental. That girl’s medical skills were truly unparalleled. If she hadn’t been in a hurry to leave, I even wanted her to stay in my residence and become my son’s Princess Consort.”
Su Ying could clearly feel the iciness on Xiao Jin’s body increase.
Su Ying looked at Prince Ma’s smiling face and knew that this old man was doing this on purpose. He had indeed wanted her to stay in Prince Ma’s Residence as a doctor, but become his son’s Princess Consort? That was clearly bullshit.
“I am slightly unwell, so I won’t hold Prince Ma and the Young Prince back any longer. Please excuse us.” Xiao Jin immediately signaled to the guests to leave.
Prince Ma had gained something after walking through the manor today, so he did not intend to stay any longer. “Then I won’t impose on Your Highnesses anymore. Farewell.”
Prince Ma left with the dejected and distracted young prince.
Su Ying continued to train with the two little ones. Xiao Jin watched quietly from the side throughout the entire process, but Su Ying kept feeling that something was not quite right with his aura.
Su Ying only stopped when it was close to noon. After washing up with the children, the family of four returned to the courtyard.
As soon as she sat down, the dishes were served.
The other dishes were the ones that Su Ying and the rest had eaten in the past. Making its grand appearance today was the spicy fish that Prince Ma had brought.
As soon as the entire fish was served, Su Ying could smell a crispy and spicy fragrance, which made her crave it very badly.
She eagerly picked up her chopsticks to grab a piece of fish to stuff into her mouth.
However, because she had taken too big a bite, she did not notice the fish bones. In addition, it was too spicy, and the stinging sensation caused her so much irritation that tears flowed out.
Gag! Cough! Cough!
Upon seeing this, Xiao Jin quickly pulled her close, pressed her mouth open, and dug out the fish bone inside at an extremely fast speed.
Even so, Su Ying still felt the stinging spiciness was so unbearable that her snot was about to flow out.
Cough!Cough! Cough!
“Have some tea first.”
Su Ying held Xiao Jin’s hand and downed the tea in the cup in his hand.
Su Ying only recovered somewhat after drinking countless cups of tea.
“Damn it. It’s clear that he sent this thing here to kill me.”
Su Ying’s face was already red. She hadn’t eaten yet, but she was almost full from drinking tea.
Xiao Jin sat next to her and asked calmly, “Do you still want this fish?”
Su Ying shook her head repeatedly. This was the first time she had expressed rejection of a type of food.
Xiao Jin suppressed the smile on his lips and ordered the fish to be removed.
“What good things can there be in Prince Ma City? It’s just a fish. If you want to eat fish, 1 can get you all the fish in the world.” The kind that had all the fish bones picked out.
Su Ying reached out for a chicken drumstick and didn’t react to Xiao Jin’s sudden cheesy pick-up lines. “I like chicken.”
Xiao Jin was speechless. His sincere profession was not even comparable to a chicken drumstick.
When Prince Ma and his son left Prince Qi’s Manor, their expressions were not too pleasant.
Prince Ma was thinking about why Su Ying had gone to Prince Ma’s Residence. At that point, they should be on the way to exile, but Su Ying had actually managed to run into the city and even enter Prince Ma’s Residence.
As he thought about it, Prince Ma felt a chill running down his spine. If Su Ying had done something to Princess Consort Ma back then, they wouldn’t have known at all!
As for Sima Chen, he found it even harder to get over the fact that Su Ying was Princess Consort Qi.
He felt that his heart ailment was about to flare up again.
After returning to Prince Ma’s Residence, Prince Ma immediately sent people to inquire about everything about Su Ying. He wanted to know everything, including everything that had happened during her exile, regardless of importance.
At nightfall, Xiao Jin pushed open the door and walked in after taking a bath.
Su Ying was reading the news from Sky Alpha City when she heard the movement. She got a surprise when she raised her head.
He was wearing a loose black robe, with the lapel swept to the left and loosely fastened. His black hair cascaded freely over his shoulders, and it was still steaming with misty vapors.
As soon as he entered, Su Ying detected a faint scent of pine, which was particularly pleasant to the nose.
Su Ying felt that the sight of this handsome man coming out of the bath could be best described as so good-looking that he could be eaten.
After Xiao Jin sat down beside her, Su Ying looked at him and said, “The wounds on your body have completely healed? You have come into contact with water.”
“I didn’t.”
Xiao Jin undid his loose robe. The silk-like robe slid off, revealing his muscular body. His shoulders were wide and his waist was narrow. The muscles on his body were well-defined, and there was not a trace of excess fat at all.
Su Ying half-closed her eyes and sniffed the pine scent on his body. Her eyes became ablaze.
“Help me take a look at my wound. I felt a bit of pain when 1 was bathing just now.”
Su Ying recovered herself and frowned. She collected her thoughts and helped him remove the bandages. The two wounds were healing well and scabs were starting to form, but the bandages were wet from the steaming vapor. She went to the medicine box, took some bandages, and helped him change the dressing.
“Before the scab falls off, it’s better not to come into contact with water.”
Xiao Jin responded softly. His obedient appearance reminded Su Ying of a pet dog.
“By the way, where’s the bangle you took from me previously? Where did it go?” She only remembered about this when she saw Sima Chen today.
Xiao Jin’s dark eyes turned a shade deeper. “I exchanged it for silver after returning to the capital.”
Su Ying frowned at once. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
Xiao Jin’s eyes turned even darker. “You’re not willing to let it go?”
“How much did you exchange it for?”
“Not much.”
“Not much? Don’t tell me you’ve been scammed. That bangle is obviously valuable!”
Xiao Jin’s expression froze momentarily. “If you took it, you might not be able to exchange it for more.”
“Impossible. 1 will definitely get more than you.”
Xiao Jin suddenly laughed. So it wasn’t because she was feeling heartache that the bangle was gone. “Well, I’ve already exchanged it anyway.”
Su Ying stretched out her hand.. “Where’s the silver then?”
