The General's Genius Daughter

Chapter 51: Creating Enemy

The whole table of food arrived. Yun Shimo ignored Hua Qiyue, giving food only to Tianci as if he was the closest one to him as if he was the one that he was going to discuss matters with.

Hua Qiyue ate a bowl of rice and ignored Yun Shimo as well. She was alright as long as he was nice to Tianci.

Sipping on the soup, Hua Qiyue peered at Yun Shimo, who was still sending food to Tianci. The smell of the soup… seemed to have implied that Seven Ultimate Ginseng was added into it. Seven Ultimate Ginseng was a fascinating type of spiritual medicine. Hua Qiyue only recognized it as she had smelled its fragrance in that special world.

She did not expect Wangyue Restaurant to have such an excellent soup.

Hua Qiyue looked at the menu discretely and did not notice any soup with Seven Ultimate Ginseng in it.

“Waiter, what soup is this, it’s delicious!”

Hua Qiyue smiled faintly and asked the waiter. The waiter knew that Prince Nan brought the soup but he had forgotten to ask what soup it was. Thus, he opened his mouth in shock, unable to utter any word.

“Waiter, you have such a poor memory. This is Red Ginseng Chicken Soup, right?” Yun Shimo interrupted coldly and the waiter nodded profusely. “Yes, yes, yes! Red Ginseng Chicken Soup! Hehe, I have a poor memory, I’m sorry, Prince Nan!”

The waiter touched his head, with a sorry expression on his face. Hua Qiyue raised her brows in suspicion. That lie was unable to deceive her as she had seen Seven Ultimate Ginseng before in the mysterious world.

“But why did this guy cook for her? That’s strange. Does Yun Shimo have any ulterior motive?”

Hua Qiyue was skeptical but she figured that he could be implying that she should treat Long Red nicely.

Hua Qiyue glanced at Yun Shimo but he was expressionless. However, his act of feeding Tianci did make him look gentle and considerate.

Yun Shimo’s sensitive brain noticed Hua Qiyue’s side glance. She did not want to talk to Hua Qiyue as his heart aches thinking about her and Ji Feng together.

“Is it really Red Ginseng? I don’t think Red Ginseng tastes like this?” Hua Qiyue smiled faintly and asked that expressionless face.

She suddenly wanted to tease Yun Shimo.

The corner of Yun Shimo’s mouth twitched as he raised his brows gracefully to look at Hua Qiyue. “So what does Red Ginseng taste like? Hua Qiyue, do you not think that it’s rude to doubt my ingredients when you are eating my food?”

Yun Shimo’s sharp scolding made Hua Qiyue seem like an ungrateful bastard.

Hua Qiyue’s eyes curved in laughter. “Looks like I’m the impolite one. I need to thank Prince Nan for the treat today.”

“Of course, do you only know that you are impolite now?” Yun Shimo snorted, and Hua Qiyue did not know what to say anymore. “Sigh, I didn’t expect this cold and indifferent man to be so sarcastic.”

His sarcasm made Hua Qiyue unable not used to himself.

Hua Qiyue could not help but re-examine Yun Shimo. This man changed his personality so fast. He used to ignore her and treat her with indifference but he suddenly mocked and insulted her – eh, in rage?

Hua Qiyue thought back and decided that she didn’t provoke him.

Tianci was happily chewing on a roasted chicken drumstick while blinking at her mischievously. Hua Qiyue’s mind was in a blur as it reminded her of Tianci in the past.

Tianci was mischievous and energetic, always making Old Madame Zhou angry. Due to the lack of familiarity by Zhou Zhicheng, Old Madame did not like Tianci as well, even though she did not know that Tianci was not Zhou Zhicheng’s son.

While Hua Qiyue was stoning, someone knocked on the door and entered. It was a woman in a beautiful violet dress. She had a phoenix hairpin and wore elegantly but purely. That style made her mesmerizing and charming, like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Two servants in plain clothes greeted Prince Nan as they saw him.

Princess Mingzhu laughed and walked out towards Prince Nan. “Greetings, your highness. Greetings, Miss Hua.”

“Princess Mingzhu?” Hua Qiyue suddenly remembered that she had seen this princess before. However, because Princess Huiling and Princess Huiya were in the center of attention, with Princess Mingzhu being obedient and quiet, it was easy for one to just forget her.

“Please sit, Princess Mingzhu.” Yun Shimo looked at Princess Mingzhu and said faintly.

“Thank you, your highness.” A glimmer of light shined in Princess Mingzhu’s eyes as she sat down elegantly. The waiter passed a menu over for her to order.

“There’s no need. Three of us can’t finish so much food.” Princess Mingzhu smiled. Her gracefulness stunned the waiter.

“Such a beautiful princess, no wonder so many young men write love letters to this princess.”

Yun Shimo looked at Princess Mingzhu coldly. “Four people.”

Princess Mingzhu stopped and noticed the little kid Tianci next to Yun Shimo. She then laughed stifflly. “Yes, yes. I have bad observation.”

Yun Shimo didn’t even look at her. He stood up and took Hua Qiyue’s empty bowl to it up with soup.

“Eh… What’s going on?”

Hua Qiyue was stunned. She believed that her wit after rebirth will stop her from falling into traps. However, she was shocked now!

“Such an evil man! He knew that Princess Mingzhu was interested in him and thus was purposefully thoughtful and considerate to her!”

“He was just attracting hate for her!”

At this time, Yun Shimo had already filled her bowl up with soup, pushing the bowl in front of Hua Qiyue. “This is top-standard Red Ginseng Soup. Drink up. It will not be as delicious when it’s cold.”

Hua Qiyue almost spurted out blood!

Yun Shimo’s gentle eyes and sweet tone made it seem as if he was pampering his girlfriend.

Princess Mingzhu started at the two in shock, with herself clearly hurt by their interactions. “Your highness… is so nice to Miss Hua.”

Princess Mingzhu smiled. However, the disappointment and envy in her eyes could not escape Hua Qiyue’s observation.

“Princess Mingzhu likes Prince Nan, even Princess Huiling likes Prince Nan. Seems like this handsome and attractive man is going to smell trouble.”

“This man is so evil that she attracted Princess Mingzhu’s hate onto her?” Hua Qiyue thought that Zhou Zhicheng was the most despicable guy she had seen but Yun Shimo seemed to be smarter and more shameful!

“Don’t misunderstand him, Princess. Qiyue’s hand hurts and thus the prince offered to help.” Hua Qiyue smiled faintly. “You know that his highness likes Tianci and he thus likes me by relation.”

After hearing that, Princess Mingzhu’s expression turned better. However, Yun Shimo glanced at Hua Qiyue lovingly and continued, “Why bother explaining? Drink more soup. Look at your skinny body, you look as if you could be blown away by a gust of wind. Drink more soup and eat more! You look better when you are chubbier.”

The evil prince smiled handsomely, completely expressing the gentleness in his heart. That made Princess Mingzhu stunned as it was definitely not normal!

She was not stupid and could see the gentleness in how Yun Shimo treat Hua Qiyue. Her heart was cold and a chill lingered in his eyes. However, it instantly disappeared.

“Miss Hua, look at how gentle your highness is to you. Just drink up!”

Hua Qiyue was furious at the maliciousness and acting skills of Yun Shimo. She stared at Princess Mingzhu depressingly at the misunderstanding but she did not want to explain herself.

The waiter sent rice over and Princess Mingzhu ate gracefully, staring at Yun Shimo from time to time, with expectations lingering in her eyes.

Hua Qiyue was enthusiastically implying that she was unrelated to Yun Shimo. However, that person always suddenly pamper her with sweet words or eagerly and gently behave. Even though most of the actions were directed towards Tianci, Princess Mingzhu saw that as how a father treats his children, gentle and caring.

Princess Mingzhu’s smile gradually dissipated, as if she was a flower that had just withered.

Thus, Yun Shimo had successfully created a new enemy for Hua Qiyue today – Princess Mingzhu. When she was about to leave, Hua Qiyue clearly saw the chill in her eyes.

Hua Qiyue understood that King Jin was not a normal character, as well as his daughter Princess Mingzhu. However, she did attract her hatred.

“What a plan, Yun Shimo, creating another enemy for me. Say, what did you call me here for.” Hua Qiyue was furious as he coldly remarked at Yun Shimo.

Yun Shimo raised his brows slightly and looked at Tianci’s satisfying face. “Miss Hua, is this how you thank me?”

“I don’t need to respect you if you don’t respect me.” Hua Qiyue snorted angrily.

Even though she could not tell how advance Yun Shimo’s Qi Art was, she knew he would not kill her.

“What a phrase!” Yun Shimo raised his brows coldly. “Hua Qiyue, you are getting more outrageous.”

Hua Qiyue bore an expressionless face. She had no time to argue with Yun Shimo over such trivial matters. “Your Highness, let’s talk about real matters. Even though I am inferior in status to you, my time is more precious than you. Your Highness had created misunderstanding for Qiyue, creating an enemy for me! A person like you doesn’t deserve my respect!”

“Outrageous! How dare you talk to his highness like this!” Beside Yun Shimo, Bingyi shouted out. However, Yun Shimo waved his hand, signaling for him to retreat.

Bingyi stared at Hua Qiyue with coldness in his eyes. Even though he did retreat a step, the coldness in his eyes did not dissipate.

Tianci stood up and held Hua Qiyue’s hand. Staring at the two arguing, he didn’t know what to do.

“Please speak your mind! Your Highness!” Hua Qiyue’s face sank and cruelty took over her face. “I am a busy woman. Please respect me and don’t waste my time!”

She hated men like Zhou Zhicheng who was handsome on the outside but malicious inside. She would be unable to forget how she was hurt in her previous life.

Only when Hua Qiyue’s expression changed did Yun Shimo notice that he was a bit too outrageous. He was ridiculously nice to Hua Qiyue just to create a misunderstanding in the heart of Princess Mingzhu, making her retreat.
