Chapter 711: Song Chen
Translator: Lordbluefire
Yan Zixuan looked somewhat bewilderedly at Shen Ruojing. His first thought was, did she bribe Dugu Xiao?
However, he soon realized that how could someone like Dugu Xiao possibly be bribed?!
And if he wasn’t bribed, yet he was here helping Shen Ruojing cover up. (This means… Princess is indeed 518?!)
Yan Zixuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
It felt like his worldview was being overturned.
He looked at Shen Ruojing again, wanting to question why she didn’t tell him the truth?
He then suddenly realized. (Princess, from the beginning of admitting her identity, has said that she was 518…)
(It’s just that I didn’t believe it.)
Yan Zixuan.”!!”
He turned his head, and saw that Shen Ruojing didn’t pay any attention to him at all. She only nodded to Dugu Xiao, sat down, and quickly picked up the bowl and chopsticks in front of her as she started eating.
Just now, seeing her calm and composed look, they thought that the Princess wasn’t hungry!
But how could that be?
After joining the rescue team, she could only eat some compressed biscuits to replenish her strength. She must be starving.
When Yan Zixuan, Ji Shuai, and Luo Jian were about to sit next to Shen Ruojing, Dugu Xiao and Chu Cichen sat on either side of her.
These two big figures, one was the current leader of the Dark Web Organization and the other was the leader of Loong. Who would dare to provoke them?
So, the three young masters, who didn’t take Shen Ruojing seriously at the beginning, silently moved to the table on the other side and started eating as well.
But the three of them were eating and glancing over.
Dugu Xiao affectionately picked up his chopsticks and served Shen Ruojing some food.
Chu Cichen immediately didn’t want to be outdone and gave Shen Ruojing a piece of spare ribs.
The two men looked at each other, their eyes filled with sparks, scaring the three people into a nervous frenzy.
Would these two men start a gunfight at the drop of a hat?
Just when the three were hesitating, they saw their princess devouring two bowls of rice. After that, she put down her chopsticks. With a “pop”, the flame between the two men disappeared instantly, and their faces were filled with gentleness and affection.
Yan Zixuan and the others.”??”
(Is this the rumored arrogant, bloodthirsty Dugu Xiao?)
(Is this the rumored unpretentious, mysterious Eastern Dragon?)
All three of them couldn’t help but start recalling. When they were on Huyi Island, did they offend the Princess?
A woman who could subdue those two men, how could they dare to provoke her?
Fortunately, in the later stage, they were won over by the Princess’s leadership ability and respected her very much…
Shen Ruojing ignored the looks of the three people over there. After she finished eating, she put down her chopsticks.
Chu Cichen asked subconsciously, “Won’t you eat more?”
Shen Ruojing glanced at him and said lightly, “Eating until you’re 80% full is the healthiest.”
She had always been a restrained person.
Even if she was very hungry, she would not overeat because it was not good for the body.
After she finished speaking, she turned to Dugu Xiao and asked, “Why are you here?”
Dugu Xiao explained, “I heard that the Princess of Country Y had passed away, so I came to check it out, incidentally to see if there were any disrespectful people. And there really were… so I just helped you deal with it.”
Actually, most mercenaries employed by Jing Yi were sent to capture Shen Qianhui.
He knew that Shen Qianhui was Jing Zhen’s weak point, and there were certainly his people on Queen Dowager Yan’s side. In his mind, Shen Qianhui was alone and helpless in Country A. Hence, he tried to capture Shen Qianhui to make Jing Zhen surrender his throne.
However, Dugu Xiao, along with the members of the Dark Web Organization, stood guard in front of Shen Qianhui’s palace, not allowing the mercenaries to take a step closer.
Shen Ruojing picked up her teacup. “Using tea as a substitute for wine, thank you.”
Dugu Xiao smirked. He also lifted his tea cup and clinked it with hers, and they both drained their cups.
Chu Cichen only watched from the side, his expression slightly stunned.
Dugu Xiao looked at him. “Are you sick today?”
Chu Cichen.”?”
Dugu Xiao looked at his teacup in front of him. “What’s with the hesitation? Even though I saved 518’s mother, it has nothing to do with you. I didn’t save her because of you, but can’t you even say thank you? That’s your mother-in-law after all, right?”
Chu Cichen’s lips curled up slightly. He chuckled and picked up his teacup before clinking it with Dugu Xiao’s, drinking it down.
Dugu Xiao snorted.
The man’s sinister expression would only relax a bit when he was in front of the two of them, but he still looked at Shen Ruojing. “He’s probably scared stupid by your situation this time. Look at me, I never think you’ll get into trouble, but he was still frightened and went looking for you… indeed, love makes people confused!”
After Dugu Xiao finished speaking, he stood up directly. “Since you’re fine here, I’ll go first.”
He walked out with big strides, waving his hand to the two of them with his back turned, in a carefree manner.
After he left, Shen Ruojing’s gaze fell on Chu Cichen.
Chu Cichen spoke up, “I was also worried about you getting into trouble…”
Shen Ruojing only propped her chin, staring at him.. “So you went to the island to find me, Song Chen?”
