Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 143 Injured?

Tang Jingchen sighed deeply, patted the little head in his arms, and said with a distressed tone, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that the shoes didn't fit? How can it not hurt if they are worn out like this?"

Xiao Guoer knew that she was in the wrong and did not make any meaningless excuses. Instead, she used the killer move that only girls have - acting coquettishly and cutely.

She shook her boyfriend's arm like a child, acted like a spoiled brat, pouted her lips and muttered in a coquettish voice: "Don't scold me! I'm tired and hungry now, and instead of buying me something delicious, you're still mean to me!"

The anger that arose in Tang Jingchen's heart because of the pain disappeared completely as the little person in his arms was rocked. Only a heart full of pity and helplessness remained. He couldn't bear to say a word to her anymore. He said in a low and gentle tone, "What do you want to eat?"

Seeing that her boyfriend finally stopped looking sullen, Xiao Guoer immediately pressed the issue, "I consumed too much today and need to replenish my nutrition. I want to eat meat! Lots of meat! My feet hurt so much, I can't walk anymore, you carry me!"

Someone doesn't realize at all that what she just said "it doesn't hurt much" and now says "it hurts a lot" are contradictory. She is very shameless and just wants to take the opportunity to make her boyfriend feel distressed and love her.

Until they finished their meal outside and returned to Wu Zinian's residence, Xiao Guoer really didn't get out of bed at all. Tang Jingchen carried her on his back the whole way.

If Xiao Guoer hadn't felt that she would be too conspicuous if she was dressed in men's clothes and held in the arms of a grown man, she would definitely have taken advantage of this rare opportunity to experience her boyfriend's princess hug.

But it feels good to lie on my boyfriend's back.

Her boyfriend's back was very solid, giving her an extremely safe feeling. She gently leaned her head against the back of his neck, swaying slightly with his steps, and this comfortable feeling made her drowsy.

In a daze, she even felt that the wear and tear on her feet was worth it!

When they arrived at the new room that was arranged last night, Xiao Guoer jumped off Tang Jingchen's back.

Seeing the location of the room clearly, Xiao Guoer couldn't help but mutter to herself: Why is her room so close to the Eighth Prince's residence?

It was too dark to see clearly last night, and she rushed out the door as soon as she got up this morning. It was not until this moment that she noticed the location of this room.

She curled her lips. What did Lord Wu want to do? Why did he arrange this room for her?

She didn't believe that this was just a coincidence!

Wu Zinian has been immersed in officialdom for many years and has become a veteran. She would not do meaningless things, but she really did not understand what this arrangement meant.

Tang Jingchen supported her and walked into the door carefully step by step, then helped her onto the couch.

In fact, it's just the skin on her feet that's rubbed off, it doesn't hurt that much, but because her boyfriend is considerate and caring, the girl will be extra delicate.

Tang Jingchen only stayed for a moment and then left. On the one hand, he still had to make arrangements regarding the medicinal materials, and on the other hand, the Eighth Prince asked him to be more restrained. If he stayed in Xiao Guoer's room all the time, he would probably cause the servants to talk about him again.

However, neither of them expected that as early as they entered Wu Zinian's gate, someone had already witnessed the elegant and noble Mr. Tang carrying Xiao Guoer into the room.

There was another round of sighs from the busybodies: it was really unbearable to watch two grown men being so affectionate as if they were the only ones around!

What was even more coincidental was that when the two of them, leaning against each other, stopped at the door of Xiao Guoer's room, they were seen by the Eighth Prince who had just returned from doing some errands.

Zhao Yunrong's face immediately darkened. He had thought that he could just ignore the two for the next three days, but he didn't know why he felt inexplicably irritated the whole day. He never expected to see such an intimate scene between the two of them. His mood immediately became worse.

He stepped into the room with a heart full of anger, took two sips of tea, and still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart: This Tang Jingchen is too presumptuous! He had clearly warned him yesterday, but he still dared to do such a thing under his nose!

What are Tang Jingchen and Xiao Guoer doing in the same room?

The more Zhao Yunrong thought about it, the angrier he became. He didn't know whether he was angry because Tang Jingchen dared to disobey his orders or because of something else.

He shouldn't care about his subordinates' private lives, but what did these two do today? Has the cause of the plague been found? Why didn't anyone come to report to him? Is that reasonable? Do they take him, the Eighth Prince, seriously?

He angrily opened the door, walked out of the room again, and faced Shen Jing who was guarding the door. He raised his chin towards Xiao Guoer's room, his eyebrows were sharp, and his voice was obviously unhappy, and he ordered, "Go call those two people over to answer!"

Shen Jing had just been following behind Zhao Yunrong, so he naturally saw the scene of Tang Jingchen and Xiao Guoer together. Now he also understood which two people Zhao Yunrong was referring to.

"Your Majesty, Young Master Tang has just left. I think he left the mansion. Can you wait for him to come back and then I will go and summon him?"

Zhao Yunrong blinked, his fierce momentum slightly reduced, and he said slowly, "Then there is no need to call him. It will be the same if we call that little Guoer over to answer the question."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xiao Guo'er was lying on the bed in the room pretending to be dead. Her tired body and rubbed toes made her not want to move at all.

She recalled everything she had observed today, trying to sort out the tangled thoughts in her mind, but she heard a knock on the door and an impolite, cold voice.

"The Eighth Prince has issued an order, ordering you to go and reply."

Xiao Guoer cursed in her heart and put on the socks she had just taken off.

"Hiss." When her feet stepped on the ground, she felt a sharp pain from the broken skin, which made her almost stagger while walking.

Fortunately, after walking a few steps, I got used to the pain and it felt much better after it became numb.

Xiao Guoer opened the door and looked at Shen Jing, who always had a stern face. She was in no mood to be angry with him, so she followed him forward reluctantly.

Unable to find the cause of the plague, she felt uneasy and irritated.

When she stepped into the Eighth Prince's room, she subconsciously tensed her nerves and concentrated her whole heart.

"I pay my respects to the Eighth Prince."

Xiao Guoer waited for a while but didn't hear the expected response, so she looked up.

The arrogant Eighth Prince stared at her shoes with an unreadable expression.

Her toes curled up uncontrollably out of sight, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"What happened to your foot? Is it hurt?"

Zhao Yunrong noticed that something was wrong with his walking when he entered the room. He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have sprained his ankle yesterday. He didn't know if he had sprained his ankle again today. It seemed that this kid had a problem with walking. Then he suddenly realized why Tang Jingchen ignored his warning and walked around the city with him on his back.
