Pet Addiction: The Prince's Desire To Spoil His Pet Chapter 114

Chapter 114 : Deceiving Uncle Sheng (11)

 –

These days, a rumor was going around the academy . The person who’d been lucky enough to be doted on by the Fourth Prince and had depended on his status had been driven out of the Shenghe Manor . No one came to pick her up after cla.s.s anymore, and she had no place to stay .

Many said it was because Shu Nuan had been promiscuous behind the Fourth Prince’s back and had committed an affair behind his back . But when she’d secretly bought musk, the prince had found out and thrown her out of the manor .

Naturally, many people made derisive remarks about Shu Nuan . However, she’d been concentrating on her lessons these days and had no intention to involve herself into these messy affairs .   

After cla.s.s, Shu Nuan searched her bag for silver and felt gloomy .

“That day, if I were there… I would have explained the truth to the dowager . You wouldn’t have been driven away by the Fourth Prince…” Wen Zhigu said upon returning to cla.s.s after two days . She hadn’t expected such a matter to have happened, but she wasn’t really surprised .

Those who lived high above the earth had no feelings at all, and they wouldn’t listen to Shu Nuan’s explanations .

Shu Nuan was surprised Wen Zhigu still remembered this matter . She shook her head casually .

“Would the result be the same?”

“The result would be the same . ”

Shu Nuan lowered her head and put her books into her bag .

Wen Zhigu remained quiet for a moment before she asked, “Do you have a place to stay?”

“Yes,” Shu Nuan said, tidying up her books .

“An Inn?”
 

Shu Nuan pursed her lips and didn’t speak .

“Are you running out of money?”

Shu Nuan was silent for a moment, and then she turned to look at her .

“Yeah, do you know a place to work?”

“What will you do?”

Shu Nuan pondered for a while, and said in a helpless manner, “Guqin, chess, calligraphy, and painting… are these counted as work?”

Wen Zhigu was pleased and mumbled, “Yes, the Moon Pavilion has been looking for a woman who knows the Guqin . You can try there . ”

Shu Nuan frowned and thought for a moment .

“Will it affect my cla.s.s time?”

“You can tell the boss you work during the night and attend cla.s.ses during the day . It’s just that… it’ll be harder . ”

“It’s nothing . ”

As long as there was a way for her to live, it was good .

After the two finished talking, they left the academy, Shu Nuan holding her bag . From far away, she saw Ji Xubai’s carriage waiting outside . Wen Zhigu frowned a little, but, in the end, she walked over without an expression . After she got into the carriage, the driver set off .

Ji Xubai sat in the carriage with his eyes closed and his mind resting . He heard the noise and slowly opened his eyes . He took a glance at Wen Zhigu and asked, “Why are you so late?”

Wen Zhigu answered, “I was talking to my cla.s.smate . ”

“Who?”

“Shu Nuan . ”
 

Ji Xubai didn’t ask more . He held out his hand, and Wen Zhigu took the initiative to approach him, preparing herself for the pain . But he lowered his head and touched her lower abdomen instead . His eyes held a gaze that indicated he was a man of deep emotion . Coaxing her like a gentle lover, he asked, “Does it still hurt?”

Wen Zhigu wasn’t used to him behaving like this . She frowned and subconsciously pulled back for a moment . As a result, Ji Xubai strained her back by twisting her hand behind her, probably bruising it again . Wen Zhigu’s breath was twitchy from the pain . Meanwhile, Ji Xubai looked at her coldly and didn’t move . Having no other choice, Wen Zhigu bit her lip and endured the pain to once again take the initiative to approach his arms .

When she was in his arms, Ji Xubai’s face looked a little relieved, and he touched her back in a soothing manner .  

“How are you feeling?”

Wen Zhigu lowered her eyebrows, and said, “All right . ”

Ji Xubai bit her earlobe and whispered, “Then there is no excuse for tonight . ”
