Venerated Venomous Consort
chapter-498

There was also a set of wooden furniture that looked stylish yet retro.

The ground was now covered with a long carpet which was extremely soft and comfortable.

There was even a wooden partition at the entrance that could block people from peeping in from the outside. On the table, there was a clamshell with a glowing pearl inside.

The empty shabby house was now luxurious after being decorated by Rong Che. Qian Lingyu almost thought that he had entered the wrong house.

Gu Xijiu's face was full of a surprise too. She did not know that the eighth prince had a pair of miraculous hands!

After he came in, he just glanced through the house and immediately started to decorate. His storage bag had everything inside to the point where Gu Xijiu wondered if he always brought all his belongings with him!

"Eighth Prince, do you always carry so many things with you?"

Rong Che replied, "I like to travel around the world, and I don’t like to stay in a hotel because I can’t get used to their mattress. Hence, I always bring several sets of furniture with me. I was rushing when I came, and I did not know your situation here, or else I would have specially prepared a set designated for you… You can use this set first, and I will send a new one for you in future."

Gu Xijiu felt touched. Rong Che was a good friend. He would never cause any trouble for her but instead always quietly helped her. She randomly looked around and saw Qian Lingyu standing in the doorway. His face was pale, and he did not look good. His lips were tightly shut.

Gu Xijiu said, "Qian Lingyu, why are you standing there? Come in and sit." Then, she casually asked him with a chuckle, "I thought you brought me something... Take it out!"

Qian Lingyu looked more unhappy and replied unwillingly, "Nothing!" then he turned and ran away.

Gu Xijiu was speechless.

Did this kid come just to eat the food she cooked? After she finished eating, he just left and did not even want to give her the present anymore.

She shook her head, "He is an emotional kid."

When she turned around, she saw that Rong Che was looking at her and seemed to have some deep thoughts.

When they looked at each other, Rong Che smiled, sighed, and said, "Xijiu, in fact, you are almost the same age as him. However, I always forget that you are actually still a kid when I talk to you."

Gu Xijiu laughed, "Perhaps I am mentally old."

Rong Che lightly sighed, "You are right. People can always grow up faster after going through some bad experiences."

Both of them chatted for a while. The wind was getting stronger outside, and it seemed like the weather was going to turn bad.

Suddenly, the door was opened once again. Qian Lingyu ran in like the wind, and he actually shocked Gu Xijiu, "Why are you here in such a hurry?"

Qian Lingyu stared at Rong Che, "Eighth Prince has not left yet?"

Rong Che hesitated then calmly replied, "I come here from thousands of miles away…"

"Even if you come from thousands of miles away, you can't stay over! There is a rule that outsiders cannot stay over in the Tianju Hall. Moreover, you can't stay with Gu Xijiu too! She is a girl and you guys are not supposed to stay close, or you will spoil her reputation!"

Rong Che was speechless, and then he continued, "You overthink. I never planned to stay with Gu Xijiu."

"Then where will you stay?" Qian Lingyu stared at him.

"I will stay with Yan Chen." Rong Che replied.

"Oh? You know Yan Chen?"

"We've met a few times before and get along well with each other. Before I arrived, I told him that I would stay with him tonight."

Qian Lingyu mouth was slightly ajar. After a moment, he said, "Good."

Rong Che did not bother with him anymore. After he spoke a few words to Gu Xijiu, he left.
