Wen Nongnong's lips twitched slightly. The way he said that made it sound like nobody wanted to play with him.
Gu Linchao's temple throbbed, and he said coldly, "No need." With that, he lifted his robe and boarded the carriage.
Upon seeing this, Wen Nongnong quickly slipped into the carriage.
Xiao Yan's skin was already as thick as a city wall. Upon hearing this, he acted as if he hadn't heard it and turned to talk to Atuo and his sister, "Since everyone is free today, let's go have some fun together. We can also do our part as hosts."
“The Duke of Jingguo is right,” Atuo Qingye agreed with a smile.
The two hit it off immediately, completely ignoring Gu Linchao.
So, Xiao Yan and his sister Atuo rode their horses, following behind the carriage, and the group of people left the city in a lively and bustling manner.
Wen Nongnong closed the car window, gaining a completely new understanding of Xiao Yan's shamelessness.
Even someone like Gu Linchao is somewhat helpless against him.
"Your Highness, they've followed us," she couldn't help but say.
"Ignore them." Gu Linchao's voice was cold. He paused, then asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"
Wen Nongnong was taken aback, and looked at the neat and clean small table. "What food is here?"
Gu Linchao didn't speak. He casually pressed his long fingers on the side of the car, and a sound like a mechanism immediately rang out. Then, a cabinet popped out from the side.
That cabinet had many compartments, filled with various items, the most conspicuous of which were a pile of snacks and treats.
Wen Nongnong was stunned.
How could someone like Gu Linchao prepare snacks in the train carriage?
He doesn't seem like the type of person who would like to eat these things.
While she was still in a daze, she saw him methodically place the snacks and pastries from the cupboard onto the small table in front of her, and finally, he thoughtfully placed a pot of water and a cup on it.
Wen Nong Nong's gaze followed his every move.
After he finished carrying the snacks, he took a book out of the cabinet, and then the cabinet closed again.
"Eat up," he said gently.
Wen Nongnong blinked, her gaze falling on the small table, and she couldn't help but swallow.
In addition to the exquisite pastries, there were also fruits, candies, and preserved fruits, which filled the table to the brim.
She picked up a candied fruit, took a bite, and found it melted in her mouth, with just the right amount of sweetness—it was delicious.
She ate two in a row before stopping, and then, as if remembering something, she couldn't help but say, "So the prince also likes to eat these things."
Gu Linchao paused in his reading, looked up at her, and said, "I don't like to eat these."
Wen Nongnong was taken aback. "Then why are there so many snacks in the carriage..." Her voice trailed off. Could it be that these snacks were actually prepared especially for her?
She blinked, looking at Gu Linchao in surprise, a hint of joy creeping into her eyes. She bit her lip and said hesitantly, "These...were specially prepared for me by Your Highness?"
Meeting the girl's beautiful, lively, and seemingly expressive eyes, Gu Linchao quietly tightened his grip on the book in his hand, and then subtly turned his gaze away.
"It was prepared by Wang Houde," he explained in a low voice at the end.
"That was also His Highness's order. Thank you, Your Highness!" Wen Nongnong said crisply.
Gu Linchao originally wanted to distance himself, but seeing how happy she was, he swallowed his words and stopped explaining.
Seeing that she seemed to really enjoy these snacks, a hint of a smile flashed in his dark eyes.
Wen Nongnong originally thought the journey would be boring, but now, with a table full of snacks to keep her company, she is not bored at all.
She had tried every single snack on the table.
