Chapter 1421: Chapter 1243: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

No, these matters must be clarified, otherwise she would only become more dependent on his kindness.

Long Aixi initially showed a sorrowful expression. Moments later, he shifted slightly to the side, then silently opened the door. He stopped talking to Xia Dabao and instead looked towards the dazed Lanlan, "Take the dishes to Miss Dabao’s room. Remember to remind her to eat more, tonight there are her favorite Braised Pork Trotters."

Lanlan, having received the order, immediately did as instructed.

Before leaving, Xia Dabao took one more glance at Long Aixi, who had already seated himself at the dining table, his back towards her, yet he didn’t touch the chopsticks.

At that moment, she felt she had really gone too far.

Why did she have to say those words?

But if she hadn’t said them, would he continue to flirt with her occasionally like he did during the day? What would she do if she couldn’t resist anymore?

Xia Dabao didn’t want to stay there any longer. She quickly turned around and went back to her room.

...

"Miss Dabao..." Lanlan was arranging the dishes in Xia Dabao’s room, about a dozen pieces of Braised Pork Trotters. Long Aixi hadn’t kept a single piece for himself; he had given them all to Xia Dabao.

Long Aixi, seeing Lanlan hesitate to speak, couldn’t help but ask her, "Do you think I am bullying your Young Master?"

"It’s not exactly bullying," Lanlan defended Long Aixi, "Although I don’t know what happened between you two, there must be some misunderstanding. The Young Master is usually very nice."

"He is nice to you all as well, isn’t he?" Xia Dabao asked, then played with the pork trotters with her chopsticks, the first time she had no appetite for a meal.

Strange, she thought, to experience a lack of appetite.

"The Young Master treats all the servants with courtesy, but he is particularly attentive to Miss Dabao. Tonight was the first time I saw him lose his temper; it’s clear how much he cares about you," Lanlan interpreted Long Aixi blocking Xia Dabao as his losing temper.

To others, had he ever been so rude?

Xia Dabao, however, wouldn’t listen, "You always say he treats me the best, but do you know, he is just as nice to other ladies, like Zhou Xianzhi. When Zhou Xianzhi was bullied in the past, wasn’t it Xiao’ai who stood up for her? You know this too, right?"

"That may be true, but the Young Master never lost his temper with Miss Xianzhi," Lanlan said, wanting to convey that Long Aixi had always been calm towards Zhou Xianzhi, aside from when he needed to defend her.

"That’s because Zhou Xianzhi isn’t like me. Look at how poised and gracious she is. Only someone with a temper like mine needs to be handled with temper!" Xia Dabao continued stubbornly.

Lanlan didn’t know how to comfort Xia Dabao anymore and could only urge her to eat.

Xia Dabao slowly gnawed on a pork trotter.

After finishing, she asked Lanlan to prepare some hot water. She planned to read some stories for a while before going to sleep.

...

Zhou Xianzhi had taken a bath early and changed into fresh clothes.

Since Zhou Zixuan was no longer the Hall Master of the Dragon Tooth Gang, whenever they came back, they were guests, and surprisingly her treatment was a lot better than before.

Before the turn of the year, Zhou Zixuan had left the Dragon Tooth Gang and joined a small gang in the County, whose leader was acquainted with Zhou Zixuan and had long wanted to bring him over. Zhou Zixuan had struggled with the decision for a long time before joining.

Having reached the position of Hall Master at a major gang, Zhou Zixuan, after joining the small gang, flourished like a fish in water; his Martial Arts were not the only advantage. He also shared some experiences from the Dragon Tooth Gang, efficiently managing the small gang. In just a few months, he had doubled the scale of the gang and now sat directly at the second-highest position.
