Chapter 391 Western Chu Princess

Zhao Zhongyu was at a loss for words.

How was he to respond to that?

The whole reason for his verbose and pointless chatter was simply to distract Zhao Xiyan, so that he could take the "untimely" mysterious gift back with him.

He just hadn't expected Qi Yue to come into the picture.

Hadn't this woman been sitting quietly since he entered, looking very obedient?

How had the conversation ended up on the subject of the chest?

In his mind, no matter how favored or capable a woman was, she was nothing more than a man's accessory.

That was the case for himself and even more so for Zhao Xiyan.

In a conversation like this, allowing a woman to listen in was already a huge favor. There was no place for her to speak, let alone to take action.

Yet Zhao Xiyan's attitude was clearly indulging Qi Yue to slap him in the face.

Zhongyu's face could no longer hold any pretense.

He suddenly stood up and bowed respectfully.
