Chapter 444 - Forced Stay (2/2)

Gu Bailu knew that he was using Mr. Xiao as an excuse for her to stay.

But she did want to talk to Mr. Xiao. Hesitant, she asked, “When will Mr. Xiao come?”

“He drops by for breakfast every day.”

“Okay. I’ll go after I talk to him.”

She didn’t want to end up on bad terms with Feng Qingtian, not after he had saved her again. After all, he might be useful to her later.

Though he was a horrible man, he still had strength and power.

Feng Qingtian seemed delighted. “I’ll go and check if he’s here.”

Gu Bailu only wished that Feng Qingtian could be gone faster.

She looked around the room. The decorations were luxurious. The mat was made of fox fur. There were items made from white jade on the table. There was also an invaluable red coral tree that was utterly colorless.

Several pairs of shoes and boots were next to the bed. She had worn some of them before.

There were fancy clothes on the shelves; these were the clothes that she hadn’t taken with her from the pink cottage.

The door opened, and Ah Luo came in with a tray. “My lady, you’re up. Are you hungry? Here are some noodles for you.”

Gu Bailu looked at her and asked, “Ah Luo, why are we in Prince Zi’s house?”

“Prince Zi and someone else saved us.” Ah Luo helped her walk to the table. “Have the noodles, my lady. I secretly hid a slice of pork inside it.”

Ah Luo disagreed with the doctors who said that her lady should have food that was low in fat after she woke up.

Her lady couldn’t recover without meat.

Gu Bailu glared at her. “Is it appropriate for us to stay at Prince Zi’s place? You should’ve brought me home.”

Ah Luo said innocently, “But Prince Zi wouldn’t allow me to.”

“Couldn’t you think of something? If you insisted on leaving, would he dare stop you?”
