Chapter 33

Grandma Liu’s body trembled like a leaf, and she almost lost her grip on her walking stick. Yu Niaonao quickly held her up to prevent her from falling.

Granny Liu gripped her hand tightly and asked in horror, “Is it really the Eagle Guards? Why are they here again? What do they want?”

Yu Niaoniao comforted her gently, “It’s just a misunderstanding. It’s not the Eagle Guards.”

In order to increase her credibility, she even beckoned to Lian Niang.

Lian Niang received Yu Niaoniao’s hint and hurriedly agreed.

“Yes, yes, not the Eagle Guards. Don’t be afraid, Grandma.”

Grandma Liu was skeptical. “But I clearly heard someone shouting about the Eagle Guards just now…”

Yu Niaoniao said, “That person’s clothes are a little similar to the Eagle Guards’. The guest was just mistaken.”

At this moment, Xiao Juan and Meng Xizhou had already walked up to them.

Grandma Liu heard footsteps and quickly asked, “Is it really not the Eagle Guards?”

Before Xiao Juan and Meng Xizhou could speak, Yu Niaoniao shouted first.

“Husband! Why are you here? Are you here for me?”

Xiao Juan and Meng Xizhou were stunned.

Dang Gui’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Her mistress actually addressed him as her husband!

Even if the emperor had already given them a marriage, they had yet to officially get married.

How could Missy address him as her husband in public?

“That’s bold!”

Yu Niaoniao could not care less.

She blinked hard at Xiao Juan and mouthed a warning to him not to talk nonsense lest he frightened Granny.

Xiao Juan’s gaze paused on Grandma Liu for a moment, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.

He wanted to see what this woman was up to.

When Meng Xizhou saw this scene, he could not help but sigh inwardly. Duke Lang really doted on Miss Yu. The two of them were not even married yet, but he allowed her to address him as her husband openly.

It was obvious that they could not wait to get married.

The single Meng Xizhou was surrounded by the sour scent of love, and his heart was bubbling with jealousy.

Grandma Liu hurriedly asked, “Is it your husband?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “That’s right. My husband must have been worried about my safety after seeing that I hadn’t returned for a long time.”

Grandma Liu believed her and relaxed. She smiled.

“Your husband is worried for you. You two must be very close.”

Yu Niaoniao did not dare to look at Duke Lang’s expression.

She braced herself. “Yes, he’s very nice. He’s gentle and considerate, but he doesn’t talk much.”

When others saw how well she spoke, they really believed her nonsense.

Meng Xizhou was secretly amazed. He did not expect that the usually cold and indifferent prince would be so gentle and considerate in front of the woman he liked!

Is that what they mean when they say he’s repressed?

He felt a little like laughing but held it in.

He couldn’t let his boss find out that he was secretly watching for entertainment.

Even Lian Niang began to suspect that this beautiful young lady in front of her was really a married to that cold Eagle Guard.

The “gentle and considerate” Xiao Juan was expressionless the entire time.

He was the epitome of aloofness.

Granny Liu said happily.

“It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t like to talk. As long as he takes you seriously and treats you sincerely, that’s enough.”

She then asked, “Do you want a bowl of chicken noodle soup for your husband too?”

Yu Niaoniao looked at Duke Lang and asked eagerly.

“Darling, do you want some?”

The man looked at her coldly, his gaze as sharp as a knife.

Yu Niaoniao swallowed hard.

The lack of response was tantamount to tacit agreement.

She spoke aloud to Lian Niang.

“Please cook a bowl of chicken noodle soup for my husband too. Don’t forget to add an egg!”

The last sentence was powerful and heroic, as if an entire Imperial Feast had been added instead of an egg.
