Chapter 120 He Has Thought It Through

Su Xing had made up his mind, so he had nothing to worry about. He turned to the maid and sneered, "It's just a box of rouge. What should I be afraid of?"

The waiter was still hesitant at first, but when he saw the words "Prince Ning's Mansion" on the silver note handed over by Su Xing, he immediately realized that this person was not someone he could afford to offend.

He quickly packed the rouge box and handed it to Su Xing with both hands: "Please take it, sir."

"Thank you." Su Xing took it casually and was about to walk out.

The maid was anxious. She came here today to buy rouge for Luo Ling'er, and she would have a hard time reporting back if she failed to buy it.

She didn't care about anything else, grabbed Su Xing's arm and shouted angrily: "Don't leave!"

Su Xing paused when his body was pulled. He couldn't understand why Luo Ling'er, such a fairy-like person, would employ such a vulgar maid.

"Let go!" He warned coldly, then shook his hand, broke free from the maid's restraints, and walked out with Lin Lan'er.

The maid was frightened by the imposing cold shout, and when she came to her senses, Su Xing had already left the shop.

She hurried to chase after him, but everyone in the store, whether intentionally or unintentionally, walked back and forth in front of her tacitly, preventing her from rushing out smoothly.

So when she ran out of the door, there was no trace of Su Xing and Lin Lan'er.

"Brother Su, you should return the rouge." Lin Lan'er blamed herself and was worried: "If I really offend the Princess's Mansion and the Regent, it will be too late."

Su Xing looked relaxed: "Don't worry, Miss Lan'er. I know what to do with this matter, and nothing will go wrong."

He had already thought it through. He would just be scolded or punished by Ye Linghan, but it wouldn't cost him his life.

It would be even better if he didn't have to go to the Regent's Palace anymore. He didn't want to continue getting along with Ye Linghan anyway.

As he spoke, he handed the rouge box to Lin Lan'er: "Here, take it, this is for you."

Lin Lan'er looked at Su Xing, then at the beautifully packaged rouge box, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.

It is the most wonderful thing to receive a gift from someone you admire, and it is something she likes.

But if this incident brought disaster to Su Xing, wouldn't she be harming Su Xing?

Thinking of this, she firmly pushed away the rouge box and continued to persuade: "Brother Su, it really won't work. Please send it back quickly. I don't want anything to happen to you..."

Su Xing had no choice but to lie: "Don't worry, Miss Lan'er. I have been with the Regent for so long and I know him well. He won't care about such a small matter. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to do that."

Although it was a lie, Su Xing spoke quite sincerely.

Lin Lan'er was slightly stunned after hearing this, and the anxiety on her face did ease a little. After a while, she asked half-doubtfully: "Really?"

In order to make Lin Laner no longer worry, Su Xing smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure of."

Lin Lan'er then showed a relaxed expression, but she looked down at the box of rouge that she dared not even think about, and showed an embarrassment again: "Thank you for the gift, Brother Su, but this gift is too expensive, I..."

Before Lin Lan'er finished speaking, Su Xing said indifferently: "No matter how valuable it is, it is still a thing. It can never be compared with a person. Miss Lan'er, don't take it too seriously. Please accept it. This is the first time I give a gift to someone. If you don't accept it, I will be embarrassed."

Lin Lan'er really liked that box of rouge, not only because she loved beauty, but also because this box of rouge was rare. Getting it was like getting the glory that everyone envied.

She no longer hesitated, took it with both hands, and said with a happy smile: "Thank you, Brother Su, I will cherish it."

Su Xing originally wanted to say that there is no need to cherish things, and that the value of things can only be realized by using them, but he changed his mind when the words were on the tip of his tongue.

No matter what, as long as Lin Lan'er is happy, isn't giving gifts meant to make people happy?

"You're welcome." Su Xing smiled brightly in return: "It's getting late. I'll take you home."

Lin Lan'er was eager to stay with Su Xing for a while longer, so she naturally wouldn't refuse. She thanked him again: "Well, thank you, Brother Su."

On the way back, the two of them kept chatting and there was no awkward situation of having nothing to talk about.

But basically, when Su Xing spoke, Lin Lan'er would smile and agree, or when Lin Lan'er spoke, Su Xing would nod and agree.

We didn't express our respective views on a certain topic or exchange opinions, we just acted as polite listeners to each other.

But they didn't realize this problem. Instead, Su Xing felt that today's meeting was very fruitful and their relationship became closer.

After seeing Lin Lan'er off, Su Xing returned to the Regent's Palace.

As soon as he entered the palace, he felt inexplicably guilty.

He didn't know whether the matter of the rouge shop had reached Ye Linghan's ears.

Fortunately, Ye Linghan was not in the mansion, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But then he thought again, Ye Linghan is always so busy, can his body handle it?

As soon as this thought came into his mind, he immediately drove it out of his head. Why was he meddling in other people's business?

What does it have to do with him whether Ye Linghan can handle it or not?

He couldn't think about it anymore. He should think more about his relationship with Lin Lan'er!

So he shook his head, touched his stomach, and decided to go and see if the meal was ready.

Ye Linghan didn't come back until noon the next day. Su Xing was eating at the time. When he saw Ye Linghan, he immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up.

"Regent." He bowed.

Ye Linghan didn't respond and didn't move.

Su Xing looked up curiously and happened to see Ye Linghan looking at the food on the table. After a moment, he said in a cold voice: "You seem to be taking it easy."

Su Xing's heart tightened, and then he looked embarrassed.

Compared to Ye Linghan, he is indeed too leisurely.

But you can't blame him for this. It's not like he's being lazy on purpose, but he really has nothing to do.

In order to ease the embarrassment, he had to bite the bullet and ask: "Has the Regent eaten yet? If not..."

Before he could finish his words, Ye Linghan had already walked to the table and sat down.

Su Xing was smart this time. He quickly picked up the chopsticks and handed them over. He also personally served the rice and placed it in front of Ye Linghan: "Prince Regent, please enjoy."

Ye Linghan ignored him and started eating, and his food tasted more delicious than usual.

Su Xing stood there nervously, not daring to sit down to eat.

Until Ye Linghan's unhappy voice came: "What are you doing standing there?"

Su Xing was both shocked and panicked. What did Ye Linghan mean by this?

Let him continue eating? Or should I just let him disappear quickly so as not to affect his appetite?

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xing decided to follow his stomach.

He carefully slipped to the table like a thief, sat down, and picked up the bowl very gently.

Seeing that Ye Linghan didn't react, he continued to eat in small bites...
