Chapter 4991: 5.0743 See Them Out!

"Don't eat so many snacks; dinner will be served soon," Duan Yue said with a smile. Whenever Qiao Qiao was being a glutton, she would always pretend as if "this is just okay" or "I only eat a little occasionally," her small face utterly serious, which was quite comical. She was clearly a foodie, but her heart refused to admit it...

Qiao Mu looked down at the pastry she was holding, then glanced at Duan Yue's disapproving expression. She silently dropped the pastry back onto the plate, retracted her hand, and patted the crumbs off her fingers. "Didn't eat much."

"Crown Princess, you were just listening to Miss Wu's story while eating several pastries," Aunt Yuan Zhen quickly interjected. "This servant has already reminded you three times. Eating too much will make you unable to eat dinner and can easily lead to indigestion."

The little Crown Princess glared at the one who exposed her, then huffily felt her own pulse. "I'm perfectly fine!"

Duan Yue curved his lips, watching her little actions, unable to suppress a chuckle. His gaze swept over Wu Ruomei. Miss Wu quickly bowed, "Your Majesty, Ruomei should also go home for dinner. I'll take my leave now."

Duan Yue gave a faint nod.

Wu Ruomei turned and walked a few steps, then suddenly spun around and excitedly rushed back to Qiao Mu. "Crown Princess, the weather will be nice tomorrow, how about we go on an outing together?"

"I want to hear the Crown Princess talk about my idol, the Peerless Princess Consort."

"I heard the Peerless Princess Consort formed a Tiger Wolf Battalion, and it's particularly invincible and incredibly powerful!"

Duan Yue looked at Miss Wu with an expressionless face. This girl, once she starts talking, it seems she'll continue chatting with Qiao Qiao...

Lord Qiao Qiao, beside them, nodded repeatedly like a pecking chick. Listening to Wu Ruomei talk about the Peerless Princess Consort, she also affirmed with several "mm-hmms."

Duan Yue was quite speechless. He quietly asked Aunt Yuan Zhen, who was standing nearby, "Did the Crown Princess chat with Miss Wu like this all afternoon?"

Yuan Zhen nodded decisively, flipping her hands back and forth. "Definitely no more than twenty words. Miss Wu drank three pots of tea, and this servant believes she won't be able to eat dinner."

Duan Yue's mouth twitched. "You see Miss Wu out." Isn't she a chatterbox? Thinking of this, Duan Yue couldn't help but secretly clench his teeth. What a huge miscalculation!

Actually, chatterboxes were the easiest to get close to Qiao. For example, that guy Mo Lian, shamelessly persistent, with sweet words and endless chatter, slowly permeated Qiao's life like a gentle spring rain. Before Qiao Qiao herself even realized it, she had already been caught in Mo Lian's trap. Bah, that shameless fellow.

Look at this Wu Ruomei. The moment she starts talking to Qiao Qiao, it's like opening a floodgate. She talks non-stop; you can't even dream of making her stop. At this rate, will they even eat dinner? How inexplicable!

Yuan Zhen suppressed the smile on the corners of her lips. She quickly stepped forward, bowed to Miss Wu, and said softly, "This servant will see Miss Wu out."

Wu Ruomei quickly waved her small hand, stammering, "N-no, no need. No need to trouble Aunt to see me out. Ruomei will take her leave now."

Strange, why does His Majesty's face look so unpredictable? Could it be that she said two extra words to the Crown Princess and displeased His Majesty?

Wu Ruomei hurried away, turning back every two steps to wave at Qiao Mu, calling out, "Crown Princess, Ruomei will come find you again tomorrow!"

The little Crown Princess waved her hand expressionlessly.
