Chapter 1462: It Still Takes the Princess to Give a Helping Hand

She had just spoken when Lei Hu covered her mouth with his hand.

"Shh!" Lei Hu urgently made a gesture.

Cai Ying cautiously blinked her long lashes.

Lei Hu looked up, confirming that Feng Fuce was completely immersed in Bai Zhi’er’s smile, not noticing the movements behind him at all.

He breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Cai Ying.

"When the Marquis is present, you must not be so surprised. You should know that when our Marquis likes someone, he can’t help but touch them."

"If he sees your reaction, be careful he might get embarrassed and punish you. I have a colleague named Chu Ping who always gets scolded and beaten for this reason."

Cai Ying quickly nodded: "I know, thank you for the advice, Brother Lei!"

She smiled and pulled out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve.

"When I made chicken crystal dumplings for the Princess this morning, I saved two for you. I know you’re busy in the mornings and can’t eat, so I’m waiting to give them to you. I’ve kept them in my sleeve; they’re still warm. Brother Lei, quickly try them!"

Lei Hu’s face showed no change, but he felt warm inside.

"Thank you, Cai Ying." He was just about to accept them.

Suddenly, a jade-white hand snatched them from the side.

"Hey!" Lei Hu exclaimed.

He looked closely and saw that Bai Zhi’er and Feng Fuce had unknowingly returned in front of them.

Bai Zhi’er held the dumplings, teasing Cai Ying with a smile: "Cai Ying! I finished the dumplings this morning; you clearly said there were no more. How come there are still two here!"

Cai Ying’s face was bright red: "Well... earlier I thought Brother Lei hadn’t eaten and must be hungry, and since miss ate four, she should be full. I won’t dare do it again next time."

Bai Zhi’er smiled as her eyes moved back and forth between her and Lei Hu.

Her eyes sparkled, and she smiled: "I’m definitely full, but Brother Lei doesn’t seem very hungry?"

Lei Hu quickly said: "Not hungry."

Feng Fuce said lightly: "Since you’re not hungry, give the dumplings to someone else; maybe someone is hungry."

The Xiu Luo Envoy behind Lei Hu immediately started to clamor: "I’m hungry! Marquis, please give this dumpling to me!"

Lei Hu turned around and glared at his colleague.

"I’ve suddenly gotten hungry; please Marquis, return the dumpling to me." Lei Hu reached out.

Bai Zhi’er chuckled and placed it in his hand.

"Brother Lei, you should cherish it well. Meeting someone fateful isn’t easy."

Lei Hu’s face turned even redder than Cai Ying’s, and they both bowed their heads together.

"I..." Lei Hu’s voice got smaller: "I will cherish Miss Cai Ying’s gift."

Bai Zhi’er blinked her round eyes: "Huh? I didn’t say Cai Ying, I meant the dumplings. Cherish these delicious dumplings; where did your thoughts go!"

The Xiu Luo Envoys behind Lei Hu immediately started teasing, everyone letting out a sound, and Cai Ying ran off, her face red.

Bai Zhi’er saw this and pushed Lei Hu: "Go chase her! Eat this dumpling in front of her and promise to take her to taste the crab dumplings at Jingcheng Fuman Building next time, then the fate will truly be sealed!"

Lei Hu seemed to awaken from a dream, like a dumbfounded kid.

"Thank you, Princess!" He took big steps to chase after: "Cai Ying! Wait for me."

Bai Zhi’er watched his figure, hands on her hips, laughing lightly: "I still have to give a helping hand."

Feng Fuce raised his eyebrows: "You are so enthusiastic about others’ romance, but about us..."

"Still considering!" Bai Zhi’er didn’t wait for him to finish, lifted her skirt, and ran off.

Her silhouette was like a mischievous little rabbit, disappearing in a flash.

Feng Fuce could only let out a helpless laugh.
