Chapter 164: The Vicious Eldest Daughter (29)

He returned to his room in a daze, while the system remained silent.

"you say--"

【No!!!】The system's voice was so shrill that Wen Wan felt as if her brain had been slashed.

"Calm down, maybe things aren't what you think?"

Hearing her host's guilty tone, the system clearly didn't believe that the male lead's actions had no other intentions.

[Host, you don't have feelings for the male lead, do you?]

"No, absolutely not." Wen Wan said subconsciously, but when she thought about how Gu Xi suddenly hugged her just now, her heart still couldn't stop beating. It wasn't love, it was just human nature. After all, how could she not feel anything when such a handsome guy was hugging her? She would be a stone, right?

The system didn't believe its host's explanation. After all, every time, the host claimed to have no feelings or thoughts, but every time, the host was head over heels in love. The system was now struggling, hoping that this trend would not continue.

It's a system, yet it worries too much. Its own little cabbage insists on going for the pig's mouth. Even though it's the male lead, it's still the pig that's going for the cabbage. The system feels heartbroken just thinking about it.

【Take Chu Sisi to the Prince's residence; we can discuss this further.】

...

Chu Sisi no longer lives in the Prince's Mansion, but in the Prime Minister's Mansion. However, because she has gained the favor of nobles in the palace, she occasionally stays in the palace. As a result, the Prime Minister has put Aunt Xin in the public eye because of this matter, and she is extremely favored. Even if Madam Chu is unwilling and angry, there is nothing she can do but turn a blind eye. After all, even the Empress Dowager likes Chu Sisi very much, and Chu Sisi has even cured the Empress Dowager's insomnia.

After thinking for a moment, Wen Wan decided to send someone to the Prime Minister's residence to invite Chu Sisi to the Prince's residence under the pretext of a sisterly reunion.

Then, at the first meal, Wen Wan sat with the male lead on her left and the female lead on her right.

Gu Xi's expression was indifferent. Chu Sisi looked at Wen Wan with complicated emotions, while Wen Wan was eating. "This Kung Pao Chicken is very tender and delicious. Would Your Highness like to try some?" She reached out and scooped a spoonful into Gu Xi's bowl. The butler behind him was a little anxious because the prince was a germaphobe. This spoon was the princess's personal spoon. If the prince refused and showed disdain, wouldn't that hurt the princess's feelings?

While the steward was pondering for the princess, he saw her place another piece of braised chicken leg into the prince's bowl, saying, "Your Highness, would you like to try some?"

Butler: Oh no, the prince doesn't like overly greasy food. It's his fault that the princess keeps making such a mess. He should have told the princess or her maid about the prince's eating habits.

Gu Xi smiled and then began to eat the food in his bowl, bite by bite.

housekeeper:"!!!"

The prince actually ate it? And he even looked quite pleased. Could it be because the princess picked out the food that suited his taste?

As Wen Wan ate, she served food to Gu Xi, asking, "How does Your Highness find the taste?"

"not bad."

"Then Your Highness, please eat more."

The intimate scene between the two made Chu Sisi, who was standing to the side, feel awkward.

What exactly does Chu Huang mean by this?

Why did she send me here? Was she just trying to show me how intimate she was with Prince Xi? Was she trying to brag about something?

Chu Sisi put down her chopsticks. "Sisters, you can eat slowly. I'm full."

Wen Wan glanced at Chu Sisi, "Since you're full, go and rest."

Chu Sisi: "..."

Is she no longer even pretending? It's obvious she doesn't like her. Chu Sisi left in anger.

Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief. "System, do you really think this will work?" Although she didn't really like Chu Sisi, Wen Wan still felt a little guilty about doing this.

[Of course, you need to make the female lead jealous, and you also need to target her, making the male lead think you're malicious. According to my information, all the dishes you just picked up were things Gu Xi doesn't usually like to eat.]

"Chicken and chicken legs? But he seemed to enjoy them and didn't show any disgust."

System: [He might be good at pretending, but he's definitely unhappy inside.]

"Really?" Wen Wan still didn't believe it. The chefs in the Prince's mansion were practically five-star chefs. The dishes were extremely delicious, and although they were supposed to be greasy, she ate two chicken legs and didn't find them greasy at all.

"Your Highness, eat more vegetables, don't just eat meat."

Gu Xi put a piece of carrot shreds into Wen Wan's bowl. Wen Wan frowned, then swallowed it in one gulp. Then she reached for the braised fish with her chopsticks, and the next second, another piece of carrot shreds appeared in her bowl.

Wen Yan: "..."

[See, this is the male lead's response. He must have figured out you don't like shredded carrots, because you touched all the other dishes except for that one cold shredded carrot salad.]

Wen Wan: The male lead... is terrifyingly powerful.

Wen Wan thought for a moment, then swallowed the shredded carrot in one gulp. Seeing that Gu Xi was about to pick up more food, Wen Wan quickly finished the rice in her bowl, then put down her chopsticks. "Your Majesty, I'm full. I'll serve you some food."

Then she placed a chicken leg, chicken meat, pork belly, and a dish of stir-fried pork intestines in Gu Xi's bowl, saying, "Your Highness, please eat? How can Your Highness bear to refuse your humble servant?"

Gu Xi chuckled, then calmly finished eating what was in his bowl before putting it down and letting the housekeeper clean up.

The steward was shocked. The prince and princess really had a good relationship. Not only had the prince's appetite increased, but his eating habits had also changed.

After finishing his meal, Gu Xi was summoned to the palace.

Wang Yaozu, who had gone to sign the contract with Lin's mother, also returned. This transaction cost 100,000 yuan, which made Wang Yaozu extremely distressed.

"Your Highness, I've ordered Chunhua Courtyard to close temporarily as you instructed. What exactly do you intend to do?"

Wen Wan handed several drawings to Wang Yaozu, saying, "Find me a craftsman to renovate Chunhua Courtyard according to the design in these drawings."

Wang Yaozu received the map and looked at its contents.

What is this glass?

Wen Wan: "Then glass will do, the kind that's slightly transparent, and made thinner." Although she had intended to use glass, this world didn't even have that kind of thing, so she didn't have any cheat codes. Which transmigrated female protagonist would easily make a fortune by making glass, and also soap, shampoo, and shower gel? But the reality is: dreaming.

The novel's plot points clearly didn't apply to her.

She was just an ordinary person to begin with, and even after coming to this world, she would still be an ordinary person, and a liberal arts student at that, so she couldn't handle these things.

What is this light?

"It's a luminous pearl."

"What channel is this? What kind of channel is it?"

"The catwalk is just a matter of having someone make it according to my drawings. Remember, don't cut corners. We need to ensure the safety of the girls."

"Your Highness, this humble subject has never seen anything like this before, and the drawing looks very strange." He couldn't see any beauty in it at all, and how could Your Highness's handwriting be so ugly? Is this really the handwriting of the most talented woman in Mingzhou?

Wen Yan: "..."
