Chapter 80 Breaking News
Xie Qingran's eyes flickered, exuding an indescribable allure.
This news was so bombshell that Xiao Jue was momentarily stunned. His first instinct was that it was impossible, but the fact that Xie Qingran had told him...
This might not be impossible.
"Okay, it's settled then."
"I will personally come to propose marriage in three days!"
Xiao Jue took a deep breath, stared into Xie Qingran's eyes, and agreed.
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingran finally breathed a sigh of relief, then grabbed Xiao Jue's hand and slapped it hard.
"A promise is a promise; a gentleman's word is as good as his bond!"
"Young Master Xiao, you are a young hero, you cannot break your promise to a young lady like me!"
Xie Qingran smiled softly.
She looks completely different now than usual, as vibrant as a little fox.
Having said what she needed to say, Xie Qingran sat down and began to enjoy the food on the table. This Jinlou was no ordinary restaurant; the food there was exceptionally delicious. Since her rebirth, Xie Qingran's only remaining emotion was her appetite.
Looking at the delicious food on the table, Xie Qingran was even more tempted and ate heartily without any regard for her image.
Back on the estate, the nanny never let Xie Qingran eat her fill, which caused her to eat faster whenever she saw food.
Seeing Xie Qingran like this, Xiao Jue felt strange. This girl was always so polite when she was out, so why was she eating so rudely now?
"Your Highness, aren't you going to eat?"
Xie Qingran looked up and was surprised to find Xiao Jue staring at her. She frowned and asked.
"Cough cough, I'm not hungry."
Xiao Jue turned his face away, clearly indicating that he had no intention of eating.
He ordered the food out of politeness, but he never expected Xie Qingran to be so impolite in this matter.
He thought for a moment, then leaned closer, raising an eyebrow at Xie Qingran: "Do you really like the food here?"
"I like any food that tastes good."
"Your Highness, are you really not going to eat?"
Xie Qingran ate and talked at the same time, her cheeks stuffed full, looking incredibly cute, just like a lifelike little hamster.
Seeing this, Xiao Jue's eyes softened considerably without him noticing.
Xie Qingran smiled a little embarrassedly after feeling Xiao Jue's gaze: "I'm sorry, I've never had enough to eat since I was a child, so I lose my appetite when I see delicious food. But don't worry, I will definitely pay more attention in the future, and I won't embarrass you."
"If you like it, eat more."
Being able to eat is a blessing.
Xiao Jue replied calmly.
Since being poisoned and injured, Xiao Jue has never had such a good appetite. Sometimes he envies Xie Qingran for being able to eat so heartily.
For some reason, Xiao Jue, who originally had no desire to eat anything, picked up his chopsticks and began to eat slowly.
Xie Qingran has already tasted all of these dishes, so of course she knows which one is the best!
Seeing that Xiao Jue had also picked up his chopsticks, Xie Qingran hurriedly put some food on his plate and said, "This is the best! You're too thin, Your Highness, you should eat more!"
Xiao Jue glanced at Xie Qingran, a little warmth spreading through his heart.
Since he went to the battlefield, he was surrounded by rough men. Although his parents were very gentle and loving, they passed away early, and for a long, long time, no one cared about whether he was eating well or losing weight.
In fact, Xiao Jue was only two years older than Xie Qingran, yet he had to face and bear the loss of his family all by himself, which was truly pitiful.
Whenever Xie Qingran thought about these things, she would feel some sympathy for Xiao Jue, and even feel sorry for him.
She was indeed tragic, but Xiao Jue was even more tragic.
The Xiao family was almost completely wiped out back then. He seemed to be all alone, but in fact, he was burdened with many shackles and missions!
After watching Xiao Jue finish eating, Xie Qingran walked over, took a handkerchief, and gently wiped the corners of Xiao Jue's mouth.
"Shall I escort the prince back?"
"No need, the redwoods are right outside."
Xiao Jue shyly took a small step back, afraid that the two of them were too close and he wouldn't be able to handle it.
After all, he had already lost his composure several times in front of this person, and he was afraid that Xie Qingran would notice his rudeness.
Xie Qingran assumed that Xiao Jue was just shy because he had never been close to a woman before, so she didn't think much of it and simply took a step back silently.
"In that case, I shall take my leave!"
After saying this, Xie Qingran bowed and walked outside in a good mood.
This marriage arrangement can be considered the first step she took in understanding the situation.
Just as I stepped out of the private room and downstairs, I saw Shen Wenyuan walking in.
Whether it was fate or not, Xie Qingran found that she could see this person no matter where she went. However, before, Xie Qingran would ignore Shen Wenyuan when she saw him, but now she could treat him with a normal attitude.
"Miss Xie?"
"Miss, what a coincidence, you're here to eat too?"
Shen Wenyuan stepped forward and looked at Xie Qingran with a knowing expression.
Xie Qingran returned the smile and said calmly, "What else can I do here if not eat? Do you think I'm here to forge iron?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xie Qingran with disbelief, as if he could hardly believe that Xie Qingran would say something so funny.
He couldn't help but chuckle, "Miss, you're getting more and more interesting with your words these days."
"Since Young Master Shen has come for dinner, I won't disturb you any longer. I'll take my leave now!" Xie Qingran bowed and prepared to depart.
Shen Wenyuan grabbed her wrist: "Wait a minute!"
"presumptuous!"
Xie Qingran immediately withdrew her hand and looked at Shen Wenyuan coldly.
Shen Wenyuan then realized that his actions had gone too far, and hurriedly withdrew his hand, apologizing, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I just wanted to tell you that I have stockpiled a lot of Blood Essence, so from now on you will be my good friend. You can't be so cold to me in the future, okay?"
This person actually told me this on purpose?
Xie Qingran suddenly realized that Shen Wenyuan was actually quite naive; otherwise, he wouldn't have been used by the Sixth Prince in his previous life without even realizing it.
She smiled and said, "Then congratulations, Second Young Master! You're about to strike it rich!"
After saying that, Xie Qingran patted Shen Wenyuan on the shoulder and prepared to leave again.
This time, Shen Wenyuan didn't grab her; he simply asked, "So, will you be my friend?"
