151 HAVE ZHU GE AS BREAKFAST
It was morning, but the hair was as dark as the night.
It was morning, but the red was bold and bright.
It was morning, but the smile was more dazzling than the sunlight.
It seemed that Bai Chen was hypnotized to the point of forgetting how to breathe, and the next thing he did was run toward the red-robed man who had been away from him for the past two weeks.
And now it was Ma Qiao’s turn to forget how to breathe when he saw his beloved Prince suddenly throw himself into Zhu Ge’s arms.
Yes, the black-haired man standing in front of the palace gate was Zhu Ge. In addition to smiling so brightly to greet the Prince, the man also extended his hands as if waiting for a hug from the Prince.
And there was no disappointment on his face because Bai Chen immediately ran towards him before hugging him so tightly. Zhu Ge was pushed back by the hug, but he still chuckled before moving his hands to return the tight hug.
The two men immediately shared warmth throughout the connection, and it could even be compared to the warmth that the sun gave off this morning.
It was as if the two of them hadn’t seen each other for years when in fact they had only been apart for two weeks, and Ma Qiao could only shake his head before walking toward the two.
.....
“When did you return from the Wu Li Empire, Zhu Ge? As far as I can remember, I didn’t see you when I left the palace and headed to the Imperial Palace today. I even thought that you would break your promise to return to the palace,” Ma Qiao nonchalantly disturbed the peaceful atmosphere between the two men, and Bai Chen even groaned in annoyance before breaking free from Zhu Ge’s warm embrace.
It was indeed an indifferent statement that came from the old servant, but that statement somehow sounded a little sarcastic when it came out of the servant’s mouth, and it proved that the old man was still apathetic towards Zhu Ge even after the two of them had been separated for more than two weeks. week.
That statement from Ma Qiao was indeed enough to irritate Bai Chen, and that was why he glared at the old man right after he separated himself from Zhu Ge. He simply enjoyed the male scent resembling fresh leaves, but his servant dared to interrupt the moment.
Bai Chen looked annoyed, but Zhu Ge just chuckled as he wrapped his arm around the Prince’s neck before bringing the brunette closer to his body. “I just arrived at the palace, and that’s why you didn’t see me earlier when you were going to the Imperial Palace, lao Ma. I came back early because I missed my beautiful Prince,” he casually answered the question as he kept staring at the Prince.
Bai Chen tried hard to control the blood on his face because he didn’t want to blush in front of that perverted man. “You said you came back early, ah? You were supposed to come back yesterday, but you only came back today. That’s what you call ‘early’?” He immediately replied the shameless statement escaped from Zhu Ge’s lips.
Zhu Ge once again chuckled before using his thumb and forefinger to pinch Bai Chen’s nose. Bai Chen groaned as he tried to break free from the man’s grip, and he couldn’t help but think that Zhu Ge was getting bolder with him after they were away for more than two weeks.
He didn’t know why, but Zhu Ge didn’t seem to know the word ‘self-control’ anymore, and he could even treat him like this when Ma Qiao was still with them.
As far as Bai Chen remembered, Zhu Ge was still quite ‘polite’ towards him when Ma Qiao was still with them before their separation two weeks ago. Zhu Ge indeed dared to call him by his name before, but the man only did that without letting the old servant hear him.
It was enough to prove that Zhu Ge was still good enough to hold back two weeks ago, but today the man seemed to have forgotten the difference in status between them, and he had also forgotten that Ma Qiao would not like it if he acted so impudently toward the Prince.
“Stop it, Zhu Ge!” Bai Chen couldn’t take it anymore when Zhu Ge continued to play with his nose, so he immediately scolded the man. “Ma Qiao is right. Why did you suddenly return to my palace today? Didn’t you tell me that you would have a family matter that you needed to deal with so you couldn’t return to my palace right away?”
It seemed that Bai Chen had returned to his cold personality again as if he had forgotten how he shamelessly ran towards the taller man and hugged the man tightly before. Yes, it was indeed him who ran to Zhu Ge and hugged the man first, but he didn’t want to admit that he was shameless too.
When it came to the perverted man named Zhu Ge, Bai Chen knew that he couldn’t be too soft-hearted.
“I already replied that I came back early because I missed you, didn’t I?” Zhu Ge continued with his ridicule, but he didn’t play with Bai Chen’s nose anymore. Bai Chen glared at him after hearing the ridicule, and Zhu Ge giggled before speaking again, “I came back early because the matter with my family was resolved sooner than expected. I didn’t have anything else to do, and that’s why I immediately returned to your palace. After all, I also can’t wait to meet you, Bai Chen.”
See? Zhu Ge indeed didn’t know how to hold back anymore, and he boldly called Bai Chen by his name even if the other man was the Prince of Dong Lang.
And because of his courage, Ma Qiao’s dark eyes almost jumped from their sockets. “How dare you call His Highness like that, Zhu Ge? What kind of servant are you?” He angrily rebuked the shameless young servant.
Of course, Ma Qiao would be furious when he witnessed how brazen Zhu Ge was. The two of them were Bai Chen’s servants, but Zhu Ge kept acting differently as if he had a special status in Bai Chen’s heart or something.
In Ma Qiao’s eyes, he and Zhu Ge held the same position in Bai Chen’s heart, and that was why he didn’t like seeing Zhu Ge act disrespectfully towards the Prince.
“You’re only envious because you don’t dare to call Bai Chen like that, right, lao Ma? And even if you had the guts to call him that, he probably wouldn’t let you do that. After all, I’m Bai Chen’s favorite servant now.”
It seemed like invisible smoke had started coming out of Ma Qiao’s head after he heard how Zhu Ge dared to mock him right in front of the Prince, and he was too speechless that he couldn’t muster the words to counter the ridicule.
On the other hand, Bai Chen could only observe the dispute between the two servants in silence. Not only had he and Zhu Ge been away for more than two weeks, but Ma Qiao and Zhu Ge had also been away from each other for two weeks.
Because of that, the two servants had been unable to argue in the past two weeks, and it seemed they were eager to argue again now that they were finally reunited in the Prince’s palace.
Bai Chen could only helplessly shake his head, but he then saw something on Zhu Ge’s face as he immediately asked, “You look tired and a little pale, Zhu Ge. Haven’t you had enough rest in the past two weeks?”
It sounded like Bai Chen cared a lot for the young servant, but he told himself that it was normal to care about the man because the man worked for him. Thus, he assumed that he would be held responsible if the man got sick while working for him.
“Do I look that bad?” Zhu Ge asked back while using his hand to touch his face. “I didn’t get enough sleep last night, and I do feel a bit sleepy now, but you don’t need to worry, Bai Chen. My stamina is still pretty good if you want to play with me today.”
Not only was he brave enough to call the Prince by his name, but Zhu Ge also dared to show his nasty character even if today was their first meeting after being apart for two weeks.
Hearing those shameless words from Zhu Ge’s mouth, Bai Chen could no longer control the blood on his face as he blushed.
No one knew if it was because he was embarrassed or because he was angry, but the Prince simply stomped his way toward his palace before shouting at the old servant, “Prepare a delicious breakfast for me, Ma Qiao! Don’t forget to cook Zhu Ge too! I want to eat human flesh this morning!”
