Chapter 238: I’m Stingy and I’m Proud of It
“Yes, yes, indeed. Then, as the future expert of a generation, Miss Ling Chuxi, should you not keep your word and bring me out for a good meal?” said Fu Chengyu with a smile.
“Okay, braised beef it is!” said Ling Chuxi decisively. Anyway, she would have never treated him to something expensive even if she was beaten to death! Ling Chuxi was stingy and proud of it!
Just like that, dinner was on Ling Chuxi. Fu Chengyu and Ling Yichen felt that the food was extraordinarily delicious. It was especially so for Ling Yichen. One needed to know that this was the first time he was being treated to a meal by Ling Chuxi, it was really hard to come by!
The three people ate till they were satisfied before leaving. That night, Ling Chuxi was lying on the bed and in a deep slumber till she was all in a blur of her surroundings when she suddenly felt something tunneling under the bedcovers. It was furry and warm—a feeling was so familiar!
Ling Chuxi got excited and immediately sat up. With the illumination of the obscure light in her room, she saw Little White who had tunneled his way into her embrace!
“Little White, you have returned... You have really returned! Huangfu Qingjue did not lie to me. You really have returned! My Little White!” exclaimed Ling Chuxi happily as she squeezed Little White into a tight embrace and then smacked a kiss on its head.
Little White shook its ears and bared its teeth, as if it were smiling. Ling Chuxi who saw this became even happier. “Little White, I knew that you would not abandon me. Where did you go? You took so long to return. Could it really be as Huangfu Qingjue said, you had to settle matters? You naughty rascal, leaving me for so long.”
Little White tunneled into Ling Chuxi’s embrace and did not do anything else. Ling Chuxi happily embraced Little White and slowly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Ling Yichen and Fu Chengyu saw the little fox draped across Ling Chuxi’s shoulders and were a little surprised. When did this little fox return? Did it just silently enter the residence? Nobody even noticed! However, seeing Ling Chuxi looking so happy, the two of them also did not bother to delve too deeply into the matter.
For two days straight, Ling Chuxi did not leave Little White’s side. Be it when she was going to school, having meals or even when she was sleeping. On the second day, Ling Chuxi met the fifth princess at the academy. Ling Chuxi agreed to follow her into the palace to meet her Imperial Father and Consort Mother the next day. This made the fifth princess so happy that she almost jumped for joy.
Very early the next morning, the fifth princess came to pick Ling Chuxi up. Originally, Ling Chuxi’s mood was also very good, but then, Little White disappeared again! This time Ling Chuxi was no longer so nervous, because she had a feeling in her heart that Little White would return once again. It was just that she did not know when Little White would suddenly do so. Ling Chuxi now felt that Little White was not an ordinary wild beast. However, Little White did not seem to be like some monster beast or spirit beast. Then what exactly was it? Ling Chuxi was a little perplexed.
“Master? master?” called out the fifth princess to Ling Chuxi who was standing on the side feeling dazed and lost. What was wrong with her master so early in the morning? Wasn’t she fine yesterday and the day before?
“Ah, it’s nothing,” replied Ling Chuxi as she regained her senses and smiled.
“Master, my Consort Mother is a very kind person. You don’t have to be too restrained. Imperial Father only likes to put on a stern face, but in actuality he is quite nice,” explained the fifth princess. She was worried that Ling Chuxi would not have a good impression of her Imperial Father and Consort Mother, so she put in a few good words first.
“I know. Don’t worry,” said Ling Chuxi with a smile, but in her heart, she understood that the reason the emperor and Consort Li wanted to see her was not simply because of the fifth princess. However, some things had to be faced in the end. Whether they were faced sooner or later did not make much of a difference. She’ll face things straight on as they come. Who was afraid of whom?! As the proverb goes, if soldiers came, she’ll go on defense, if a gush of water rushed at her, she’ll use soil to cover it up.
The carriage slowly drove past the big palace gates. However, Ling Chuxi never thought that she would actually meet that person here!
