Chapter 537: Still Called Adou

"Oh, how come you're back?" Chen Xi was about to drink some tea before going to see the dogs with Jia Xu when, after gulping down a couple of sips, he saw Liu Bei, who had rushed off earlier, returning.

"Aren't I allowed to come back?" Liu Bei retorted with a laugh and a scold. He was ecstatic today. Previously, he had kept up appearances, but now he couldn't hide his true feelings. What noble demeanor, what broad-mindedness of the Feudal Lords, what ability to Conceal Emotions—all of that was less important than a son, or, well, perhaps a daughter...

"Sure, sure, you're impressive. Mi Zhen, add some tea for Lord Xuande," Chen Xi hurriedly agreed with both hands up, then instructed Mi Zhen, who went over with a teapot upon seeing Liu Bei. Feeling guilty about bumping into Liu Bei, Mi Zhen was quite apologetic, though if she had bumped into Chen Xi, it wouldn't have mattered at all.
