Chapter 227: The chief manager’s disapproving gaze
This time, Le Yao Yao openly sat in the Hall with Leng Jun Yu. She ate while other servants served them.
Everyone in the residence was aware that Le Yao Yao was favoured by Leng Jun Yu. However, no eunuchs had ever been allowed to eat with Prince Rui.
When the servants saw the cold and ruthless King of Hell sweetly putting items in Le Yao Yao’s bowl, they were in shock.
In no time, rumours on Le Yao Yao and Leng Jun Yu’s relationship spread throughout the entire residence.
Some were convinced that Le Yao Yao had used “his” charming looks to seduce Prince Rui. Others suggested that the Prince was gay and had spoiled Le Yao Yao to be undisciplined and out of control.
However, these rumours didn’t bother Le Yao Yao at all. Currently, she was having lunch with her lover.
Yesterday, she suffered so much shock that she burst into tears multiple times. She didn’t have appetite and barely ate anything. As a result, Le Yao Yao was now hungry enough to eat an ox!
On the table were twenty dishes. Le Yao Yao’s chopsticks moved non-stop.
Seeing this, the corner of the chief manager’s mouth twitched. He was annoyed by Le Yao Yao’s behaviour. However, since Leng Jun Yu didn’t say anything, he could only keep his irritation inside.
In his opinion, no matter how favoured a eunuch is, he should never be allowed to eat with his master.
The chief manager watched Leng Jun Yu grow up. Since he had no sons of
his own, the chief manager had considered Leng Jun Yu as his child ever since he was young.
Now, the chief manager was upset to see Leng Jun Yu deviating towards an inappropriate path. Disapproval could be seen all over his face.
But Le Yao Yao was too focused on filling her stomach. She totally disregarded the chief manager’s grumpy face.
Eventually, Leng Jun Yu stood up and spoke to the chief manager. Since they were too far from her, Le Yao Yao couldn’t hear the details of the conversation. She was only able to observe the reactions and behaviours.
The chief manager appeared to be stunned by Leng Jun Yu’s words as his eyes grew big. He stared at Le Yao Yao with disbelief. Then, he excused himself.
Le Yao Yao noticed this and began to choke on her food. Leng Jun Yu rushed over and lightly patted her back.
“How can you be so careless? You’re like a child. You’re choking on soup!?! How are you going to be a mother?” Leng Jun Yu teased and Le Yao Yao’s face flushed.
“I’m not a child!” She pouted.
——
After lunch, Leng Jun Yu had to go to the Palace. However, before he left, he urged Le Yao Yao to rest. He announced that two eunuchs were to clean and tidy Ya Feng Ge. From now on, all Le Yao Yao had to do was sleep and take good care of the baby.
“Alright alright, Yu! Don’t be a naggy old man! I’m not a child!” Le Yao Yao giggled.
Leng Jun Yu narrowed his eyes
eyes and looked menacing, “Who are you calling a naggy old man? Hmmmm?”
“Hehehe. I didn’t! I didn’t say anything!” Le Yao Yao covered her mouth and tried to make an escape. But obviously, she was no match for the King of Hell.
With one hand, the King of Hell easily seized her by the waist. With the other, he pulled Le Yao Yao’s hands away and locked her in a loving kiss.
Then, Leng Jun Yu left Ya Feng Ge in a satisfied manner.
As for Le Yao Yao, she lightly patted her tummy and smiled blissfully.
At this moment, a tall figure appeared at the entrance of Ya Feng Ge. Le Yao Yao’s eyes lit up and she ran to welcome the guest.
“Brother Bai, what brings you here!?”
Ever since Le Yao Yao ran off in tears, Dongfang Bai had been terribly concerned. He was worried that Le Yao Yao would do something foolish. As a result, he suffered from insomnia the whole night. He rushed here the moment he finished examining his most serious patients.
Dongfang Bai wanted to spend more time with Le Yao Yao. If needed, he will give her counselling. He wanted her to know that no matter what, he would remain by her side.
Unexpectedly, Le Yao Yao was beaming like a flower today. Her mood was the complete opposite of what it was yesterday.
Naturally, Le Yao Yao noticed Dongfang Bai’s astonishment. She could also see his panda eyebags. “Brother Bai, I’m sorry for worrying you. I’m fine now.”
“I’m glad! Did something happen last night?”
Something must have happened
have happened last night. Or else Le Yao Yao wouldn’t be so happy.
Le Yao Yao decided not to hide anything from Dongfang Bai. So, she told him the truth.
“What? Yu knows you’re a woman now? And…the child is his???” Dongfang Bai exclaimed. He was in shock. In addition, his heart broke into a thousand pieces.
Honestly, he really wanted Le Yao Yao for himself. Deep down, he knew he was selfish. Initially, he thought that Le Yao Yao would leave the residence after telling Yu she was pregnant. Then, he would’ve had the opportunity to remain by her side to take care of her.
Although the child wasn’t his, he would treat it as his own.
Yet, his plan didn’t end up going the way he had planned.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Bai was disappointed and sad. He had a bittersweet smile on his face.
Ultimately, he wanted her to be happy. Even if he wasn’t the one to provide it…
Obviously, Le Yao Yao had no idea those were Dongfang Bai’s thoughts. Next, she proceeded by telling him about how Nian Sulan accidentally drugged Nangong Jun Xi. After she described what happened, Dongfang Bai’s brows crinkled. “I can’t believe something like this happened. Where is Jun Xi now?”
“The 7th Prince went to look for Ya’er. I’m not sure if he has found her yet. Hopefully, she didn’t do anything foolish.”
Ya’er was one of Le Yao Yao’s few female friends of this era. Her personality was very open and friendly. Furthermore, her heart was set on Nangong Jun Xi. Although Le Yao Yao didn’t Yao Yao didn’t like Nangong Jun Xi, she hoped that Ya’er would be able to touch him so that they could end up together.
Dongfang Bai used his slender fingers to smooth out the space between her eyebrows. “Pregnant women need to relax and destress. Right now, you need to get more rest and eat more. Make sure you drink the stable fetus soup regularly. You must cover up even if it’s hot at night. Don’t wear too little and get sick.”
Dongfang Bai gave Le Yao Yao a list of things to watch out for. Le Yao Yao felt touched on the inside, but she responded in a teasing frustrated manner.
“All of you tell me to eat and sleep. Sleep and eat! Are you trying to raise me like a pig?”
“Hahaha..oh you…!” Dongfang Bai hopelessly laughed and gently rubbed her head.
Deep down, Le Yao Yao thought to herself, Dongfang Bai is such an amazing man! Not only is he hot, he has a wonderful personality. Which lucky woman would be able to gain his love?
While Le Yao Yao was thinking, she began to yawn. Seeing this, Dongfang Bai left and told her to nap.
Le Yao Yao decided to rest. But instead of heading to her room, she went to Leng Jun Yu’s room.
He had been gone for less than two hours, but she was already starting to miss him. Without him, she felt empty on the inside. It was as if a piece of her heart was missing a corner.
So, she opened the door and entered his room.
