His excuse was so far-fetched that anyone who believed it would feel like a fool.
It's so far-fetched that even Zhuo Zhonghai himself doesn't believe the lie.
Zhuo Zhonghai laughed dryly, skipped the topic, and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about the past things anymore. It's great that you can come back now. I was so happy that I didn't sleep a wink for several days. I went to the palace to find you several times, and I couldn't help but I was blocked by Prince Jing and went back. I just found out today that you opened a medical clinic here, so I hurried here."
"Oh? Why did you come here in such a hurry?" She looked at him with sharp eyes and a sarcastic smile on her lips, with a bit of insight into people's hearts.
Zhuo Zhonghai coughed twice more to cover up his inner embarrassment, and said with a gentle smile: "Dad came here today, naturally he wants to take you back. You have been away from our house for so long. Since you have returned to the capital, you should go home. Come on, you and Prince Jing haven’t gotten married yet, so it’s not good to live in Prince Jing’s mansion like this.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Jing's voice came from outside: "What's wrong? I think it's fine."
Zhu Yan, who was dressed in brocade clothes, walked in from the outside with a cold expression, especially the look he looked at Zhuo Zhonghai, which was as cold as the cold winter wind.
Zhuo Zhonghai was startled and quickly turned around to salute.
Zhu Yan ignored Zhuo Zhonghai who was bowing in front of him, walked straight to the table next to Yuan Qiu and sat down. He took the tea cup that Yuan Qiu had just used and took a sip of warm tea very naturally, saying: " I've been hungry all this time just to have dinner with you, but you heartless person actually ate first!"
Yuan Qiu glared and said angrily: "I didn't know you would come. Didn't you say you were going to the military defense camp this morning?"
He took the chopsticks she had used again, took a chopstick from the dish in front of her, put it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "I went, and in order to rush back, I didn't even take a sip of water."
Yuan Qiu secretly laughed, this boy was used to pretending to be pitiful in front of her.
Seeing how the two of them talked to each other and shared bowls, chopsticks, and cups, it proved that the relationship between the two was extraordinary, and they lived in the same house. Could it be that a bad premonition emerged in his heart, and he thought of his mother again. What I said yesterday was even more disturbing.
He walked to Yuan Qiu and Prince Jing again and said respectfully: "Your Highness, Prince Jing, I would like to take Qinya back to Zhuo Mansion, and I would like to ask for your permission, Prince Jing."
Prince Jing didn't even raise his head, or even raised his eyelids, and flatly refused: "No!"
Zhuo Zhonghai's complexion turned green and white. He did not expect that Prince Jing would be so disrespectful of his dignity as the prime minister and refused directly without leaving any room.
"Your Highness Prince Jing, Qinya is the child of Zhuo Mansion after all. Now that she is back, she will naturally go home. I'm afraid it won't be good for you and Qinya to live together without knowing it before you get married! "
His voice was still warm, but there was a hint of displeasure in his words!
Zhu Yan finally stopped picking up the food, slowly raised his head, and looked at Zhuo Zhonghai with his dark eyes, his eyes changing color: "Zhuo Xiang also knows that Qinya is the child of Zhuo Mansion? After all these years, has Zhuo Xiang found anything?" Over Qinya?"
Just as Zhuo Zhonghai was about to argue, Zhu Yan raised his hand to stop him and said coldly: "Don't say what you have been secretly looking for. Who will believe it? I miss you, Prime Minister. Is it really difficult to find a missing daughter?" Is it harder than finding a needle in a haystack?”
"Or maybe you have never thought about finding this daughter from beginning to end?" He raised his eyebrows, with obvious mockery in his eyes.
