Long Yinfeng kept filling her bowl and said, “Don’t rush, or you’ll get choked.”

Mu Xiyue was a doctor back in the 21st century. She used to have meals really fast so that he could continue to check on the patients. Sometimes, she couldn’t even have any rest after she was off duty. She had to always be on call.

Thus, she finished eating very quickly. But Long Yinfeng hadn’t started to eat yet. She was embarrassed. “I... I was really hungry.”

Long Yinfeng smiled and lowered his head, to enjoy the vegetables in his bowl. He chewed carefully in an elegant manner. Mu Xiyue looked at him and her face flushed.

She had been eating in quite a rude way. Long Yinfeng, on the contrary, always behaved elegantly and politely. Compared to him, she was just like a naïve country girl!

Noticing her sight, Long Yinfeng put down the chopsticks and bowl and looked into her eyes. He asked, “Do you remember what you promised me?”

Mu Xiyue was confused. She wondered, “What do you mean?”

Long Yinfeng dropped his eyes and replied in a low voice, “You said you would cure me if you met me again.”

It took Mu Xiyue a few seconds to figure out what he meant! Immediately, she stood up and stared at him with eyes wide open! “You... you’re?”

She stammered, but still failed to express herself clearly.

Long Yinfeng looked up at her and replied, “Yes. I’m the man you met last night.”

It reminded him of what she said in the Imperial Study. She said someone saved her. Luckily, he didn’t expose her.

Mu Xiyue sat down slowly. She didn’t say anything again before she thought about it for a few minutes. “I can cure you of your legs. But only on one condition.”

“What is it?” asked Long Yinfeng.

He wasn’t surprised at all as if he had predicted everything.

Mu Xiyue rolled her eyes, thought about it and said, “A simple one. Let’s be a couple in name only. Then I can cure you of your legs. After you can walk, let me leave. What do you think?”

Long Yinfeng looked serious, as if lost in thought. He replied faintly, “Deal.”

It took so few minutes to reach an agreement, which made Mu Xiyue quite happy! She chatted gaily, “Your palace feels so desolate. I didn’t see anyone else when I arrived.”

Long Yinfeng asked, “You like the buzz?”

“Not really.” Mu Xiyue shook her head, “I was just curious. You know. You’re a prince, anyway.”

“The doctor said I wasn’t well enough to be disturbed. So, I sent away the imperial maids and eunuchs. Only Yanzi, Mo Heng and I live here.” Long Yinfeng explained. He stared at her with gleaming eyes and smiled, “But now there are four of us.”

“Your Highness. It’s time to go to bed. I’ll send you your medicine to your room.”

Yanzi remined him. After all, he had sat for a long time, to keep his new wife company. But it wasn’t good for his health.
