I just want to live a good life

Chapter 482 Superfluous

The distance between Su Nuan and Mu Yunting was getting closer and closer, the ambiguity was heating up, and finally Mu Yunting's lips kissed Su Nuan's lips.

Just as the two were immersed in the kiss, the door was suddenly opened and a voice of "Your Highness" broke the atmosphere.

The visitor who saw the situation inside the house was stunned.

The two people who were interrupted looked towards the door at the same time and found that the person who came was Xun Zheng.

Su Nuan quickly glanced at Mu Yunting, whose expression didn't change much. Su Nuan felt a little more at ease. She turned to look at Xun Zheng and found that the latter's eyes were always on Mu Yunting, and she didn't even glance at her.

"I came at the wrong time, right?" Xun Zheng asked Mu Yunting with a miserable expression.

Su Nuanxin said, "Is this not the right time?" This is called coming at the right time, okay? The relationship here has just warmed up, and you come to stir up trouble. The timing is just right.

While she was complaining in her heart, she quietly held Mu Yunting's hand. This time she wanted to hold him tightly, but she didn't know if he would let go first.

Perhaps because she felt uneasy, Su Nuan grabbed with a little force, and then she got a response. Her hand was pinched twice with just the right amount of force, neither too light nor too heavy.

"Why didn't you let someone inform me when you came?" Mu Yunting asked Xun Zheng.

When he said this, he had a smile on his face and looked extremely gentle. If he hadn't been holding someone else's hand, Xun Zheng would have really been drowned in his smile. But there happened to be such an annoying woman beside him.

Xun Zheng gritted her teeth, suppressed her anger, and walked up to the two of them and said, "I originally wanted to give Your Highness a surprise, but now it seems unnecessary."

Su Nuan rolled her eyes silently in her heart again. Since it’s unnecessary, you should just turn around and leave. What do you mean by walking in?

Soon, Xun Zheng answered Su Nuan's question with her actions.

Xun Zheng came to Mu Yunting and put her arm around his other arm. "I heard from Chief Steward Ding that Your Highness will preside over the Kitchen God worship ceremony today. I have never seen you do such a thing before. I was curious and wanted to come and see."

Su Nuan subconsciously wanted to let go of Mu Yunting's hand, but as soon as she moved her hand, Mu Yunting held it tighter.

"The Kitchen God Festival has to wait until the evening. You're here a little early." Mu Yunting's voice was still so gentle. "But you've come at the right time. Concubine Xia just made me an interesting little thing. Let's take a look."

As he spoke, he calmly pulled out his arm that was being held by Xun Zheng, and casually handed the cat and mouse booklet made by Su Nuan to Xun Zheng.

Xun Zheng's face changed, but she still obediently took the booklet and read it page by page.

"What is this painting? Is it a cat and a mouse? It looks so weird. Your Highness, you know I hate cats. I can't stand this."

Su Nuan looked at Xun Zheng's evasive expression towards her album and couldn't help but curl her lips.

This woman is really a bad person. She hates such a cute animal as a cat.

At this time, Mu Yunting asked Xun Zheng, "Zheng, do you still remember why you hate cats?"

"Why don't you remember this? Cats eat mice all day long, they are dirty, and they scratch people. Not long ago, I was scratched on the arm by a cat. It hurt a lot."

Xun Zheng replied.

While Mu Yunting was listening to Xun Zheng's words, a voice in his head was saying to him: Brother Yunting, this cat has given you so many rashes, A Zheng will not like it anymore.

The hand holding Su Nuan unconsciously tightened a little.

Su Nuan felt a little pain in her hand and couldn't help but glance at Mu Yunting. Then she saw a hint of sadness on Mu Yunting's face.

Even if she racked her brains, she couldn't figure out why Xun Zheng's hatred of cats would make Mu Yunting show such an expression. Is there some hidden secret here?

Mu Yunting's expression quickly returned to normal. He took the booklet that Xun Zheng returned and demonstrated the correct use of the booklet in front of her. "Concubine Xia was very clever in making this. Look, isn't it interesting to read it this way?"

"It's really interesting. This way, the cat doesn't seem so annoying."

After saying that, Xun Zheng reached out to take back the booklet and try it herself, but Mu Yunting stuffed a piece of hibiscus cake into her hand.

"Just now I just wanted to let you see Concubine Xia's ingenuity, but I forgot that you hate cats. Or it's the lotus cake, which is your favorite. I won't be wrong."

Mu Yunting seemed to confirm what he said and nodded.

Xun Zheng had to give up the idea of ​​looking at the booklet again and took a bite of the lotus cake.

Seeing that she was eating with some reluctance, Su Nuan found it hard to believe that she liked hibiscus cake. Could it be that the hibiscus cake was not cooked well enough?

This shouldn't be the case. The chef who makes snacks in the mansion is very skilled. Thinking of this, Su Nuan also picked up a piece of lotus cake and took a bite. It was sweet and delicious. She liked the texture and taste.

Xun Zheng is too picky. She can barely eat the lotus cake even if it's cooked like this.

After eating a piece of lotus cake, Su Nuan's appetite was aroused. She then remembered that she had been concentrating on making the small picture album and had not had time to eat.

I vaguely remember that Mu Yunting asked her if she wanted to eat first, and she seemed to say that she would eat after finishing the painting.

"Sister Xun, why don't you seem to like the lotus cake that His Highness gave you?"

"I don't dislike food, it's just that I just had lunch not long ago and I can't eat anymore."

"Oh, I see. I was thinking about the three of us having a meal together, but I guess we'll have to do it next time."

After Su Nuan finished speaking, she smiled sweetly at Mu Yunting, "Your Highness, let's eat."

In fact, Su Nuan was unsure when she said this. She was still not sure whether Mu Yunting would stand on her side.

"Okay, I'll have someone prepare the meal. Do you want to eat the food from the small kitchen in Duiyueju or the food from the dining room?"

"Can't we eat them all?"

Su Nuan was hungry, and she felt that the four dishes in the kitchen were not enough for her and Mu Yunting.

Mu Yunting gently scratched Su Nuan's nose with his finger and said lovingly, "I knew you would say that. I kept the food warm on both sides."

"Your Highness is still careful."

"I know you like Madam Wang's cooking. What Kang Dahong cooked today is also what you like. Eat more later."

Xun Zheng was watching with envy from the side, and where Mu Yunting couldn't see, she glared at Su Nuan countless times, her eyes full of murderous intent.

The study is not a place to eat, so Mu Yunting was about to take Su Nuan to the nearest Lanyue Pavilion. When he turned to walk out, he accidentally knocked over two books that he had temporarily stuffed in a corner of the bookshelf.

Xun Zheng followed the two of them and was the first to see the two books fall to the ground. She naturally bent down to pick them up. Then she glanced at the words "For Brother Cui" on one of the books. She was very familiar with these words.

With a smile on his face, Xun Zheng stood up, spread out the words, and said with a smile, "Who is this Brother Cui? Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince give him a book?"

Seeing this scene, Mu Yunting subconsciously glanced at Su Nuan.

Su Nuan looked calm on the outside, but her heart was in turmoil.

It is obvious that this book belongs to Cui Shaoyuan. The fact that it appears here proves that Mu Yunting took it intentionally.

He had an identical book himself, so why did he take this one? Was he taking it to investigate Cui Shaoyuan's death or Yingshu?

Neither seems likely. Mu Yunting noticed this book because I took him to the Xia family’s old house, so he brought this book for me.
