Luo Jiu was completely satisfied with the meal. With free labor and delicious food to accompany her, there was nothing better in the world.
At this moment, Luo Jiu was sitting in the carriage on her way back to the Prince's mansion. Gu Muchen had subtly declined his afternoon date with Si Nanyin and pulled the overeating Luo Jiu into the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Luo Jiu patted her round belly, leaning comfortably against the soft pillow that Gu Muchen had handed her.
Gu Muchen smiled at her, seemingly in a good mood. He glanced at her slumped on the stool, then suddenly frowned and said, "A young lady like you, how can you eat and sit so improperly?" He reached out and removed her hand from her stomach.
Luo Jiu pouted, wanting to retort, but then thought that since the other party had peeled several plates of crabs for her, she could only mutter softly, "It's because the crabs that the royal uncle peeled were so delicious. My stomach is so full and I feel uncomfortable."
Seeing that Gu Muchen remained unmoved, she placed his hand on her stomach again and said softly, "Look, it's all bulging up."
Gu Muchen touched the soft texture beneath his hand. Although the dress was made of silk and was cool to the touch, it was now almost soaked with sweat in his palm.
He softened his voice and said, "Now you know you're full? When I peeled it for you, you still complained it wasn't enough?" As he spoke, he rubbed her stomach.
"Hmm..." Luo Jiu felt very comfortable being rubbed by him and made a kitten-like sound.
"That's a token of my respect from the Imperial Uncle, how could I not show my support..."
"Oh~" Gu Muchen stopped what he was doing and looked at Luo Jiu, saying, "Now you know to call me Imperial Uncle?"
Luo Jiu suddenly recalled that, in order to interrupt Gu Muchen's date, she deliberately told Si Nanyin that she was his cousin and even called him "cousin" several times...
"Ahem..." Luo Jiu coughed a few times, feeling quite embarrassed, and then said, "You're not happy that I'm calling you younger... You've taken advantage of me all..."
Luo Jiu tried to change the subject and avoid discussing this issue...
Gu Muchen flicked Luo Jiu's head with his index finger and said, "You little rascal! If you dare to come out dressed as a woman and call people that again, I'll lock you up!" Lock you up... so only I can see you...
"Uncle~ Doesn't Xiao Jiu look good in women's clothes?" Luo Jiu tilted her head and said, "Yueying said she looks good."
"It's not that it looks bad, it's just that the assassin from last time hasn't been found yet, and now you're running around dressed like this again. What if you get targeted? Are you making me worry? Hmm?" Gu Muchen said softly.
So...it looks good!
"Does the Imperial Uncle not want me to wear women's clothes, or does he not want me to come out and call people randomly?" Luo Jiu asked again, then giggled.
"Want to get beaten up?" Gu Muchen gave an awkward yet polite look and gestured as if to raise his hand.
"Hehe~ Imperial Uncle, you're so funny!"
After Luo Jiu finished speaking, she started begging for mercy again. Laughter and playful noises came from inside the carriage.
To Luo Jiu's relief, Gu Muchen's favorability rating, which had remained unchanged for a long time, began to rise again.
"Uncle, so, do you like the Holy Maiden of the Southern Kingdom or not? I feel like she likes you a lot." Luo Jiu asked in confusion.
Even though Gu Muchen said he didn't like Si Nanyin after drinking, Luo Jiu thought, "Is the official couple so easy to break up? Isn't there that feeling of love at first sight?"
Si Nanyin even removed his veil for him, how could he not be moved?
What do you think? Do you want me to like it?
