34. The Sixth Prince of the Empire
"Would you like to kiss and hug me?" Xie Shiyu lowered her eyes slightly, her cheeks flushed, and her voice was sweet but extremely seductive.
Hey you, answer me already! Don't make me pretend like this all the time!
Xie Shiyu appeared shy on the surface, but inside she was screaming wildly.
This isn't her forte as an actress; it really tests her skills.
Seeing that he hadn't answered her question for a long time, Xie Shiyu looked up at him, pouted, and said angrily, "Hmph, I knew you didn't like me."
Xi Zhengyu didn't know how to answer her question, he thought.
But Xi Zhengyu knew clearly that what he had initially been attracted to was Xie Shiyu's face.
After spending time together, her innocent and naive nature, and her complete dependence on him, gave Xi Zhengyu a great sense of satisfaction.
Love at first sight. Lust at first sight.
He, Xi Zhengyu, was simply lustful at first sight.
Seeing that he still didn't speak, his brows were so furrowed that they could almost trap a fly.
Seeing his expression, Xie Shiyu changed the subject: "We're husband and wife, right?"
“Mm,” Xi Zhengyu replied.
"Then we can't be apart from now on!" Xie Shiyu said to him with a big smile.
"good."
After appeasing the man, Xi Zhengyu led his men back home.
Several people were already standing at the dining table; two were rolling out dumpling wrappers, one was wrapping dumplings, and the other was sitting there looking at a terminal.
Xi Yimo's dumpling wrappers were not pretty at all, and Xi Zhengheng disliked them terribly.
"You and Shi An make dumplings together, don't cause trouble here," Xi Zhengheng said, pushing her away.
Xi Yimo put down the rolling pin, sat down, picked up the dumpling wrappers, and began to wrap dumplings.
The first dumpling Shi An made gave her a headache.
Too much filling was put in, and the dumpling wrappers broke, with the filling leaking out.
"Xiao Mo, you can just sit there with your father and play with the terminal," Shi An said tactfully.
Upon hearing Shi An's words, Xi Yimo immediately dropped the dumplings in her hand and stood up, saying, "I'm going to wash my hands."
She had never made dumplings before, so she had no idea how to do it.
After washing their hands, they came out and saw Xie Shiyu sitting four or five chairs away from them.
Xi Yimo's face fell. Why sit so far away? It makes it seem like the Xi family is some den of wolves and tigers.
Xi Zhengyu went into the kitchen, washed his hands, dried them, and then picked up another rolling pin to peel the dough.
Over the years, he has only learned how to make dumplings.
I can't do anything else.
Every time there's a family gathering, it's always the father, the eldest brother, and the sister-in-law who are busy, while he and Xi Yimo just occasionally lend a hand.
"Go wash your hands and make me dumplings." Xi Yimo stood in front of Xie Shiyu, arms crossed, her face cold and her tone fierce.
"Everyone's busy today, but you're the only one with free time. So the task of making dumplings is yours. If you don't make them well, you won't get to eat!" Xi Yimo said, pointing to a spot not far away.
Xie Shiyu looked up at her blankly. Seeing her like this, Xi Yimo raised her hand and tapped her full forehead.
"Did you hear that?" Xi Yimo frowned, inwardly complaining that he had no sense at all; he should have just given the order to act.
"Oh." Xie Shiyu touched her forehead where she had been hit, stood up, went to the kitchen to wash her hands, and then sat down next to Shi An.
She does know how to make dumplings, but she is now a mermaid, and a mermaid who has always lived in the sea.
I could never actually make dumplings, so I'm just pretending.
So, Xie Shiyu picked up a dumpling wrapper and glanced at Shi An next to her. She did one step at a time, and Xie Shiyu followed suit.
And the acting was particularly clumsy; either too much was added or it couldn't be wrapped up properly.
Or maybe she tore the dumpling wrappers.
Looking at the unappetizing filling, she lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry, I... I don't know how to wrap them."
Seeing her self-reproachful expression, Shi An didn't say anything, but gently said, "I'll teach you."
Under Shi An's tutelage, Xie Shiyu successfully made a dumpling.
"Let's do it this way."
"Okay," Xie Shiyu replied softly, then added, "Thank you."
Upon hearing the thank you, Shi An smiled. The two sisters-in-law remained silent, quietly wrapping dumplings.
Xi Yimo scoffed when she saw how quickly she got the hang of it.
I was still wondering how she would embarrass herself.
Once the dumplings are wrapped, put them into boiling water. After they float to the surface, take them out and they're ready to be served.
Xi Liting sat in the main seat, and the rest of the seats were up to them to sit in.
The table was covered with a variety of delicious and visually appealing dishes, which looked very appetizing.
Xie Shiyu had already learned about the Xi family's dining etiquette last time.
The dinner table was quiet, and no one spoke. This atmosphere made Xie Shiyu feel a little awkward and embarrassed.
She used to live alone, and when she ate, she would put a tablet next to her and watch it while eating.
He'll burst into laughter when he sees something funny, and sometimes when he's being silly, he'll talk to himself in a crazy way.
Now, sitting with these big shots, she's become very careful with her meals.
The arduous mealtime was finally over, and Xie Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief.
It's over, it's over.
After finishing their meal, the brothers sat together and chatted about their recent situations.
Xie Shiyu sat beside her like a pretty doll, serving as a decoration.
I have absolutely no interest in these topics.
She just wanted to go back; she missed the big pool; she wanted to play games.
“The Empire has been making moves again recently,” Xi Yimo said, recalling the thought that the Empire was coming to the Federation for friendly talks between the two countries.
Xi Yimo felt a headache coming on.
Who knows what tricks they might pull?
Upon hearing this, Xi Zhengyu asked, "Who is the person who came this time?"
“The sixth prince of the empire.” Xi Yimo leaned back on the sofa, hugging a cushion. “I heard that he’s unpredictable.”
"Anyone who offended him was taught a lesson by him."
"What is it?" Shi An asked.
"I don't know at the moment," Xi Yimo shook her head.
"Didn't they say when preparations would begin?" Shi An asked again. "If it's the Sixth Prince, then we certainly need to be more careful."
"No."
Everyone fell silent. Xie Shiyu, who wasn't interested but wanted to hear some gossip, looked at them with suspicion.
Why did you stop talking? Is this sixth prince of the empire so powerful that they are so wary of him?
While they were silent, Xi Liting came down from the second floor. He looked at Xi Zhengyu and said, "Ayu, come to the study with me."
After calling out, he turned around and went upstairs. Xi Zhengyu, who had been called, stood up and then walked upstairs.
Pushing open the door to the study, I saw my father standing by the window, gazing at the scenery outside.
A gentle breeze blew, ruffling the stray hairs on his forehead.
"Father, what brings you here?" Xi Zhengyu asked.
Xi Liting turned around, looked at him, and said, "There's something I need you to handle personally."
