Chapter 45 The Arrogant Prince 12

Seeing his murderous gaze, Xu Qiuqiu was frightened again. Why did he get even angrier when she apologized?

He immediately pulled her away. Xu Qiuqiu felt a little uncomfortable; she hadn't even eaten a few bites of food yet.

These days, the people delivering meals to the military camp have been giving her cold food because she's from Qi Kingdom. It's rare for her to have hot food today, but she was dragged away before she could even take a few bites.

He gripped her wrist tightly and dragged her all the way to the commander's tent. Then he pushed her, and she fell onto a fur-covered chair.

His hands gripped the armrests of the chair tightly as he leaned closer, a suppressed aura emanating from him. His eyes were red-rimmed. "What do you mean? You're just going to use me and then throw me away?"

What does that mean? What do you mean, use it and then throw it away? Xu Qiuqiu was completely confused and didn't know what he was talking about.

His eyes were cold and fixed on her.

He didn't understand why she had changed so much as soon as she woke up. Not long ago, she had been so dependent on him and seemed unable to live without him, but now she had become so distant and her eyes were devoid of any emotion when she spoke to him.

He was filled with both anger and pain. Her words were like knives, cutting into his heart piece by piece. "Pretend nothing happened?"

The thought of her wanting to cut ties with him made him suppress his pain. "I can overlook the fact that you were drinking with another man just now, but you're not allowed to say things like that again."

Looking at the boy in front of her with red eyes, his face was cold and his eyes were fierce. He should have been frightening, but why did she feel that he was about to collapse?

Moreover, he had the same face as Qi Chen, so she couldn't help but reach out and touch his face, gently coaxing him, "You didn't drink with other men."

She was stunned after saying that. Could it be that she had developed some kind of aftereffect from coaxing Qi Chen before?

Although they look the same, they are not the same person.

Hearing her gentle words instantly dispelled the gloom in Zhou Zichen's heart.

He couldn't help but pull her into his arms, but his voice was filled with grievance, "Qiuqiu, why didn't you come to me first thing after waking up?"

The first thing he did when he woke up was to go find her and see if her fever had subsided. The soldiers told him that she was at a victory celebration banquet. But when he finally found her, she smiled at Ji Jingzhi and even wanted to drink with him. How could he not be angry?

He only asked for an explanation, but she actually told him to pretend nothing had happened and to sever all ties with him, which almost drove him crazy.

As the boy hugged her, the scent of spikenard filled her air. Xu Qiuqiu's still somewhat muddled mind flashed through a few images, and she remembered...

Good heavens, what has she done? Not only did she throw herself at him, but she also shared a spoon with him to take her medicine…

Wait a minute, she realized something. She kept calling out "A-Chen," but his name also has the character "Chen" in it. Had she mistaken him for someone else? Would he think she was calling him?

Oh no, this is a huge misunderstanding...

However, when he called her Qiuqiu, it sounded just like Qi Chen. She was confused at the time and couldn't tell the difference. She thought she was dreaming.

Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Zhou Zichen's eyes turned cold again. "Speak."

"..." What should I say? Say she mistook me for someone else? I'm afraid he'll be even angrier.

However, upon closer reflection, she was now in the enemy country's military camp, and he was a prince. Wasn't this like clinging to a powerful figure?

Let's just continue down this path and figure out a way to slip away later.

After thinking it through, she patted his back reassuringly, "The commander's tent is guarded, so I can't get in either."

After she finished speaking, she thought, "Hmm, this reason is reasonable."

As a result, she felt a pain in her neck; she had been bitten on the neck again.

Why does he also like to bite her neck?

Zhou Zichen was still angry after biting down. He had been a light sleeper since childhood. If Qiuqiu really came to find him, he would wake up at the slightest noise. But he didn't notice at all, which proved that she had never come.

"Then I'll give the order tomorrow. If it's you, you don't need to stop me." Let's see what reason she has not to come to him.

To avoid continuing the conversation, Xu Qiuqiu quickly changed the subject, "I'm hungry, I haven't had a hot meal in days..."

Hearing her say that, Zhou Zichen immediately stopped worrying about her lying and felt sorry for her going hungry.

He let go of her, stood up and said to her, "Qiuqiu, wait for me."

Watching him stride away, Xu Qiuqiu felt that he was becoming more and more like Qi Chen. Was it just her imagination?

Soon, Zhou Zichen brought in the food, placed it on the table, arranged the dishes, and handed her chopsticks.

He had never done this kind of service before, but it didn't seem that difficult to do.

Moreover, he felt quite satisfied taking care of her.

Xu Qiuqiu was flattered and accepted the chopsticks. "Thank you."

Xu Qiuqiu, who was initially a little reserved, began to eat happily as she looked at the delicious food on the table.

Seeing her enjoying her meal, Zhou Zichen smiled and picked up his chopsticks, putting some of each dish into her bowl.

Seeing that she didn't mind and obediently started eating, he felt even happier.

003 looked at the two of them. The second male lead's character had really collapsed to the extreme. But that was fine, as the host would be safe.
