My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 241 - 242: Petty

Chapter 241: Chapter 242: Petty

He was actually smiling at her?

Chu Nanli thought she must have seen it wrong.

Indeed, when she looked intently again, Ye Yunting’s smile at the corner of his lips had disappeared.

It wasn’t long before Zhuang Muyan came over carrying a food box.

As there were few palace attendants on duty at the moment, Zhuang Muyan personally arranged the food.

Chu Nanli wanted to help, but Zhuang Muyan wouldn’t let her lift a finger.

Chu Nanli was happy to relax, simply holding her bowl and waiting to eat.

Ye Yunting’s eyes were constantly glancing at Chu Nanli, and seeing her obedient demeanor, his mood improved significantly.

"Let’s start eating."

Once the dishes were set, Chu Nanli immediately started eating.

Her, Zhuang Muyan, and Ye Yunting, three people with past conflicts, dining together would hardly be harmonious.

But Chu Nanli didn’t care about these things; being well-fed was most important, and she wasn’t just eating for one now.

Ye Yunting initially didn’t want Zhuang Muyan at the table, finding him an eyesore.

But since he brought the dishes and arranged them,

and he was not a servant but the son of a great scholar from the Zhuang Family, asking him to leave the table would be disrespectful to the Zhuang Family.

Ye Yunting said nothing, but soon, his expression turned quite unpleasant.

He even hated himself for not having driven Zhuang Muyan away from the table at the beginning.

Zhuang Muyan was like a peacock, constantly serving dishes to Chu Nanli!

"Imperial Physician Zhuang, Chu Nanli is my Princess Consort!" Ye Yunting said with a darkened face.

"Prince, I was only thinking of my master’s needs, fearing she might be hungry; nothing more,"

Zhuang Muyan replied with an innocent, somewhat aggrieved expression.

Ye Yunting frowned, feeling suddenly irritated, "My wife does not need your care."

"Why are you so petty, Prince? If it bothers you, I’ll stop serving her. I was just unable to watch my master being hungry and couldn’t help myself," Zhuang Muyan said softly.

Ye Yunting couldn’t understand it, but he felt even more irritated, and his expression grew even darker.

Seeing that he was about to erupt, Chu Nanli interrupted, "Enough, Muyan means well."

She looked slightly disdainfully at Ye Yunting, "Don’t make such a fuss, just eat."

Ye Yunting’s eyes widened slightly, a look of disbelief flashing through, followed by blazing anger!

"Chu Nanli, you’re even defending him!"

Zhuang Muyan was just an outsider.

Chu Nanli was startled by his action.

"Why are you being so fierce?"

She even wanted to accuse Ye Yunting of making a scene over nothing.

Since his arrival, he had been quite awkward.

But that was just Ye Yunting’s characteristic unpredictability.

Ye Yunting felt frustration building up inside his chest.

Seeing Chu Nanli’s questioning eyes, he was caught between reacting angrily and not reacting at all.

Seeing his terrible expression, Chu Nanli didn’t say anything else.

"Alright, let’s eat," Chu Nanli said.

Ye Yunting clenched his fists, trying to calm his emotions.

Just as he was about to start eating, he heard Zhuang Muyan say, "Prince, don’t you help your wife with dishes? Seeing her so hungry, don’t you feel pity? Perhaps I should help my master instead, unlike you, I only care about soothing my master."

Chu Nanli’s chopsticks trembled.

The words of Zhuang Muyan sounded so familiar to her.

Even she realized then—it was nothing but a ’green tea’ cliché!

So Zhuang Muyan turned out to be such a ’green tea’, she wondered how she hadn’t seen it before.

The critical point was, could Ye Yunting tolerate this?

Indeed, as soon as Zhuang Muyan stopped speaking, Ye Yunting slammed his chopsticks down with a "snap" and his gaze turned icy as he looked towards Zhuang Muyan.

The intense pressure emanating from him made Zhuang Muyan flinch.
