Appointing a General as a Concubine: Where Can General Xiao Escape?

Chapter 125 You Are the Boss

Shen Yun rolled her eyes and sat next to her: "Her status is higher than yours, what is there to be afraid of?

The main reason is that you didn't like anyone before, not even him or His Royal Highness Prince Chen.

But things are different now. Anyone with a discerning eye can see your feelings for Prince Chen. How could he not see it?

They both fell in love with you at the same time, but you didn't choose the one with higher status, but chose the Prince of Chen who had just recovered from paralysis for many years and had nothing.

As the crown prince of a country, this is a disguised insult, my lady!"

Xiao Mo blinked and looked at her doubtfully: "Really?"

"You are so smart, can't you see through this?" Shen Yun was a little anxious.

Xiao Mo lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then stood up and said calmly, "You should go out too. I want to rest for a while."

These days, Xiao Mo was busy looking for a house for Feng Zhiqiu, and she would go to Prince Chen's Mansion whenever she had time.

It’s not that she doesn’t go home, but once she goes back, Murong Shu will discuss her relationship problems with her whenever she has the chance.

The frequency of this happened made her wonder if she was possessed by a ghost.

She liked Lu Huai so much before, but she never spoke to him so earnestly.

Compared to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the way of getting along in Prince Chen's Mansion made her feel at home.

That day, she found a house she liked and asked around before she found out who the owner was.

The steward took Xiao Mo to the reception room and served her tea and snacks, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It's not surprising that businessmen are busy all day long, but she waited for an hour and a half, and apart from the maids and a few servants, there was no one in charge.

I wanted to ask someone and urged them, but the maids said they didn't know where their boss was.

Xiao Mo and the others were getting a little impatient. If the house wasn't really suitable for Feng Zhiqiu to live in, she really wouldn't have to have it.

Looking at the dark sky, she called the maid: "It's getting late today. Tell your boss that if he is interested in doing business with me, I will come back another day when I am free."

The maid responded respectfully and was just about to see her off when a hurried man came in at the door.

He patted the rain off his body and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. The house in Taohua Lane..."

Lu Huai straightened his clothes, looked up and saw that the person in front of him was Xiao Mo, and was stunned.

Xiao Mo was also shocked.

She tilted her head to look at him, curling her lips into a smile: "So you are the boss."

Lu Huai walked forward with a smile: "So the big client the housekeeper mentioned is Miss Xiao?"

The two smiled knowingly and each found a seat to sit down.

"Come, bring tea." Lu Huai called the maid, but Xiao Mo stopped him just as he finished speaking: "No, I'm almost full."

Lu Huai smiled and looked at her with a sharp gaze: "Since we want to discuss business, let's go out for dinner and talk while we eat."

Xiao Mo waved her hand gently, indicating that it was not necessary.

He frowned slightly and reached out to touch his stomach intentionally or unintentionally.

"As you know, my family is in business, and when we are busy we often don't have time to eat.

Look, I got up at Yinshi this morning and haven’t had a hot meal yet.”

Xiao Mo's eyes changed color in surprise: "No matter how good the business is, you still have to take care of your health. It's been several hours. If you keep doing this for a long time, you will get stomach problems."

Hearing her anxious and concerned words, Lu Huai was extremely happy.

"Although our business is busy, it's still relatively rare to see a situation like today. Miss Xiao, if we don't leave now, it will rain outside."

He glanced at the sky outside the eaves and gave a reminder.

Xiao Mo also followed his gaze and glanced at the sky outside. After thinking for a moment, she smiled and agreed: "Since you are still hungry, I will accompany you to have a good meal."

Lu Huai suppressed the joy in his eyes, smiled gently and stood up: "Let's go."

When he passed by her, Xiao Mo saw the water stains on his clothes: "Wait, your clothes are wet, you should go change into dry clothes first."

Hearing this, Lu Huai glanced down and said, "A little bit is not a problem. It's drizzling in the east of the city, but it doesn't seem to have started here yet."

"You'd better change into some outer clothes, otherwise it's hard to cure a cold in this weather."

Lu Huai walked outside the eaves and looked at the weather: "It doesn't matter. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave."

Xiao Mo didn't want him to catch a cold because of her, so she insisted that he change. Lu Huai had no choice but to hurry back to his room.

Perhaps because he was afraid that Xiao Mo would leave, he came out in the blink of an eye while putting on his clothes.

Xiao Mo looked at him strangely and chuckled softly.

Hearing her laughter, Lu Huai pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and quickly explained: "I'm afraid it will rain if we're late, let's go quickly."

After saying that, he came to her side and turned sideways to gesture for her to go.

At Zuihua Restaurant, Lu Huai originally wanted to book a private room, but Xiao Mo felt it was a bit of a waste for two people, so she asked the boss to find a seat by the window.

"The food here is amazing. I wonder if you've ever tried it."

After the two sat down, Lu Huai happily introduced the history of the restaurant to Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo listened with great interest, and sighed as she listened: "This boss really knows how to do business."

Lu Huai looked at her with a smile: "It's mainly because I was poor when I was young. He is a courageous person. I should learn from him."

"But then again, you're much more capable than him. You've managed the Lu family's vast fortune in such an orderly manner."

"No, no, I was born in a family like this. Even if I'm not good, I have to learn to be good."

As the two were chatting, the food was served.

It was rare that Xiao Mo was willing to have dinner with him. Lu Huai was very happy and kept helping Xiao Mo pick up dishes, and kept talking about how delicious the dishes were.

"That's enough, you eat too." Xiao Mo was flattered and blocked the mouth of the bowl, raised her chin and pointed at his bowl.

Lu Huai smiled, took back his hand and put the mutton on the chopsticks into his mouth: "Don't block it, try it quickly, these dishes are better to be hot, they are not delicious when they are cold."

Xiao Mo took her hand away and looked at the various dishes piled up like a small mountain in the bowl, and swallowed.

She took a bite and praised it repeatedly.

She has loved spicy food since she was a child, and these dishes are just the right amount of spicy, perfectly suiting her appetite.

After eating for a while, seeing that her bowl was almost empty, Lu Huai put two more chopsticks into her bowl.

Without waiting for Xiao Mo to speak, he withdrew his hand and said with a smile.

"Alright, alright, I won't hold it anymore. By the way, Miss Xiao, your family lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Why did you buy another house outside?"

Xiao Mo was chewing a bone and was stunned by his question.

Lu Huai scratched his head and looked at her in confusion.

"Are you buying this for yourself or as a gift? Tell me about it and I can give you some advice."

Xiao Mo finished her food, drank some tea to calm her breath, and thought about it hesitantly.
