Chapter 199: Chapter 200: Doused Him All Over

She noticed that Lin Xuanxuan had been too busy arguing and hadn’t eaten much, so she poured a cup of water for her and then used the serving chopsticks to pick some dishes for her.

"Drink some water to moisten your throat, and eat some more to replenish your energy."

Lin Xuanxuan instantly shot Chu Nanli an appreciative look.

Chu Nanli, always understood her taste.

"Right, after saying so much, I’m actually quite hungry."

Lin Xuanxuan was straightforward, saying whatever was on her mind without any regard for her image in front of Ye Yunting.

She and Luo Shuye had already eaten a round before, but she wasn’t yet full.

The hot pot was just too delicious.

Luo Shuye wasn’t much better, such a big man with such a small appetite.

If Luo Shuye heard what she was thinking, he would feel wronged; it was really she who ate too much!

Lin Fuying saw Lin Xuanxuan starting to bury herself in her food, and she couldn’t express her annoyance nor swallow it down.

Her gaze turned to Chu Nanli, who was busy serving Lin Xuanxuan, a hint of malice flashing in her eyes.

"Sister, Yingying is hungry too," Lin Fuying said weakly, hinting for Chu Nanli to serve her some food.

Chu Nanli wasn’t one to indulge others. Just as she was about to speak, Lin Xuanxuan said, "If you’re hungry, then eat."

"As a concubine, are you waiting for the Princess Consort to serve you?"

Chu Nanli silently gave her a thumbs up. With Lin Xuanxuan’s mouth to defend her, she could retire.

Lin Fuying’s anger flared up instantly upon hearing Lin Xuanxuan’s words.

She hated it most when others emphasized the fact that she was a concubine!

With a wronged look, she turned to Chu Nanli and spoke softly, "Yingying didn’t mean anything else. Sister, don’t be mad at Yingying."

Chu Nanli couldn’t be bothered to deal with her and simply started eating.

Lin Fuying felt somewhat awkward for a moment. She turned to Ye Yunting and said softly,

"Yunting brother, what would you like to eat? Yingying will serve you."

At that moment, Ye Yunting wasn’t in the mood at all.

He remembered the day Chu Nanli served him a bowl of terribly spicy food.

When Chu Nanli served Ye Jiuxiao, she knew to avoid the spicy stuff. Yet, she gave him such spicy food.

She knew perfectly well he didn’t eat spicy food.

Ye Yunting’s face grew darker and darker.

She must have done it on purpose that day!

"No need, let Chu Nanli do it!"

Ye Yunting said coldly.

When Lin Fuying heard the words "no need," she felt aggrieved, thinking the Prince was spurning her.

But when she heard the latter part, asking Chu Nanli to do it, her heart filled with secret joy.

He was asking Chu Nanli, a Princess Consort, to do the work of serving others, publicly embarrassing her!

Brother Yunting must be taking revenge for her.

After all, Chu Nanli hadn’t served her food just now.

Now she wanted to order Chu Nanli around.

"Then I’ll trouble Sister."

Lin Fuying curved her lips, passing her bowl and chopsticks to Chu Nanli.

Chu Nanli slightly frowned but did not take the bowl.

"Are you deaf?" Seeing her unmoved, Ye Yunting’s rage intensified.

Chu Nanli mentally counted to three to calm herself.

Then, suppressing her anger, she stuffed the spicy contents from the hot pot into his bowl and thought, "I hope it burns!"

Seeing her action, Ye Yunting became even more certain that she had done it on purpose.

When that bowl of oily food was placed in front of him, with a flick of his hand, Ye Yunting flipped it over.

"Ah!"

Sitting directly opposite Ye Yunting, Chu Nanli couldn’t dodge in time. The scalding oil splashed onto her fair and delicate skin, instantly causing several red spots to form.

She looked up, glaring at Ye Yunting furiously.

"What are you doing?"

Asking her to serve the dishes, yet knocking over the bowl, what exactly does he want to do? To take out his anger on Lin Fuying through such means?

On the side, Lin Fuying, upon witnessing the scene, was nearly dying of delight.

It seems that Big Brother Yunting really still favors her!

In order to vent for her, he didn’t give Chu Nanli any face at all.

"Sister, why are you so careless? The Prince must not have done it on purpose, don’t be mad at the Prince..."

Lin Fuying advised softly, putting particular emphasis on the word "on purpose."

Anyone could tell that Ye Yunting had done it on purpose.

Lin Xuanxuan curled her lips, her gaze toward Ye Yunting turning somewhat disdainful.

This idiot, for the sake of Lin Fuying, that disgusting little white lotus, actually raised a hand against his own Princess Consort.

He really doesn’t know what he’s doing.

She stood up, grabbed Chu Nanli’s hand, and examined it.

"It’s turned red; go quickly and have your servant buy some medicine to apply, otherwise, it won’t look good if a scar is left."

Lin Xuanxuan knew that girls value their beauty the most and couldn’t help feeling a bit regretful.

"Don’t panic, I still have the Divine Doctor Liuli’s Scar Removal Ointment; even if a scar forms, it can be cured."

Chu Nanli’s lips thinned.

"I’m fine."

As she spoke, her icy gaze turned toward Ye Yunting.

Ye Yunting’s dark eyes froze for a moment and then he saw Chu Nanli picking up the bowl from just before and swiftly throwing its contents at him!

The movement was too quick; by the time Ye Yunting reacted, it was too late to dodge.

A large bowl of soup flowed from his neck all the way down to his chest.

"Ah, Prince, how are you!" Lin Fuying’s frantic attempts to wipe off Ye Yunting ensued; his slender and fair neck had been scalded slightly red.

"How could it burn so severely, Sister, you are too cruel. How could you splash it toward his face!"

Yes, Chu Nanli had aimed at his face. If Ye Yunting hadn’t dodged a little, what would have been scalded was his face!

Ye Yunting’s gaze instantly turned dark and menacing.

"Chu Nanli! Apologize!"

He looked up, his eyes cold and fierce as they settled on Chu Nanli, as if ready to devour her.

Chu Nanli tugged at her lips, admitting to herself that she had indeed been a bit harsh just now.

But it was also a settling of scores, for the moment, even.

"An apology is out of the question, unless you apologize to me first," Chu Nanli said.

"You still refuse to repent!" Ye Yunting gritted his teeth, anger in his eyes looking as if it could ignite a person!

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Lin Xuanxuan quickly interjected, worried that Chu Nanli would truly be at a disadvantage, "War King, today is the grand opening of Chu Nanli’s new shop. Can’t we sit down and talk things over slowly?"

"What business of yours is the matter of the Prince Residence?" Ye Yunting glanced coldly at Lin Xuanxuan.

She had been bullying Yingying all along, and now she was meddling in his family affairs.

Lin Xuanxuan choked, her complexion turning somewhat unsightly.

"Chu Nanli, will you apologize or not?" Ye Yunting’s oppressive gaze turned back to Chu Nanli, his tone full of threat.

Chu Nanli clenched her teeth with hatred.

Was Ye Yunting bent on trampling her dignity into the ground today?

If she apologized today, she would become the laughingstock of the entire capital in the future!

"No," Chu Nanli said decisively.

Ye Yunting caught a glimpse of Chu Nanli’s persistent gaze, finding it even more irritating!

He wanted to pluck out her thorns one by one, making her return to the previously somewhat obedient Chu Nanli, who would look at him with smiling eyes.

"Bring the Princess Consort down!"

"I would like to see who dares!" A low and forceful voice rose from behind, carrying an air of authority.

The man strode into the room, saw the red marks from the scalding on Chu Nanli’s hand, and his normally indifferent and calm gaze instantly flashed with a touch of sharpness.

"Who did this?"

Seeing Ye Jiuxiao enter, a flicker of annoyance passed through Ye Yunting’s eyes.

"Your Highness, this is my personal affair. I hope you will not interfere."
