After a master of metaphysics severed ties with his family, the whole family was filled with regret!

Chapter 108 Xiao Beiming, I've come to pick you up for a trip!
Xiao Beiming smiled when he heard her words:
"So I should be grateful that Xiao Jiu came to see me? I should be secretly happy about that?"

"Yes, that's what I meant."

Luo Chujiu raised her proud chin and looked down at Xiao Beiming, who found Luo Chujiu's conclusion rather interesting.

"But every time I go to see Xiao Jiu, I make a special trip, I don't go by chance, while Miss always goes by chance, which makes me very sad."

Luo Chujiu is the kind of person who responds better to gentleness than force. Just now, Xiao Beiming was being sarcastic towards her, so Luo Chujiu went head-to-head with him. But now that Xiao Beiming has softened his stance, Luo Chujiu feels a little embarrassed.

"Um... I'll make a special trip to see you next time, so it won't be convenient if I don't come this way, okay?"

Luo Chujiu spoke to Xiao Beiming in a coaxing tone, and Xiao Beiming was not really angry with Luo Chujiu. He would be happy as long as Luo Chujiu coaxed him a little.

"Alright, then Xiao Jiu will remember what he said and make a special trip to see me next time."

"Yes, I mean what I say. I'll definitely come to see you next time."

"When is the next time?" Xiao Beiming asked, pressing his advantage.

"Tomorrow evening?"

Luo Chujiu wasn't quite sure about the exact time either.

"Why does it have to be at night? Is it inconvenient for Xiao Jiu to go out during the day?"

Xiao Beiming was greatly shocked. Why did his Xiao Jiu always like to go out and wander around at night?
Although she came to find me, her personal safety is more important.

"How about tomorrow morning? I'll take you shopping. We can have lunch together at a restaurant then."

Xiao Bei wanted to meditate during the day, so she would find him during the day, and then they would go on a date and have a meal together – a perfect solution.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Beiming felt that his and Luo Chujiu's roles seemed to have been reversed.

but--

"Alright, then I'll wait for Xiao Jiu at the palace tomorrow to pick me up for a stroll, and then we'll have lunch together."

"Okay, then you go to sleep obediently. I'll go home first and come find you again tomorrow."

Luo Chujiu thought the arrangement was perfect and didn't even notice anything wrong with it. Then she patted Xiao Beiming on the shoulder and left.

Xiao Beiming watched Luo Chujiu's departing figure and couldn't help but chuckle.

Sometimes, he felt like he was the little wife and Luo Chujiu was his husband. This sense of inversion was quite exciting.

Luo Chujiu returned to the Imperial Preceptor's residence late at night once again, but fortunately, she was not discovered by her fourth senior brother or that nagging Feiyun.

After changing her clothes, Luo Chujiu lay down on the bed and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

The next morning, she woke up without Fei Yun having to call her.

"Miss, you got up very early today."

"Yes, I'm going on a date with Xiao Beiming, so I have to get up early and can't be late. Being late for a date is a bad habit," Luo Chujiu said very seriously.

Upon hearing this, Fei Yun was taken aback. Was Miss going to see the Prince so early?

"Would Miss like to take me with her?" Fei Yun asked as usual.

"Why would I bring you along on my date with Xiao Beiming? You stay here, I'll go find Xiao Beiming myself."

Upon hearing this, Fei Yun smiled helplessly, "Miss is starting to dislike me now."

"I didn't just start complaining; I've been wanting to get rid of you for a long time. Wouldn't it be better if you stayed home and slack off? Why do you have to come out and serve me?" Luo Chujiu said irritably.

Feiyun, that girl, can't she even be lazy? I have to teach her myself, she's so clumsy.

Seeing that Luo Chujiu disliked her so much, Feiyun couldn't help but pout, somewhat dissatisfied. "Oh, don't pout, pouting makes you ugly. If you really have nothing better to do, go find your love interest. I won't stop you."

"Miss, please don't talk nonsense. Where would I have gotten any peach blossoms?"

"No? Impossible! I did a divination for you before, and it said you have a lot of luck with love. My divination is absolutely correct."

Feiyun looked at Luo Chujiu with a blank expression, but she really didn't have any suitors. She stayed in the mansion all day long, how could she have time to meet other men?
Seeing Fei Yun's blank expression, which didn't seem to be feigned, Luo Chujiu couldn't help but doubt herself:

Could it be that her divination was wrong?

"No, I'll tell your fortune right now!"

As she spoke, Luo Chujiu pulled Feiyun down to sit and began to tell her fortune.

The divination result showed that Feiyun's romantic luck was still very strong.

"Feiyun, haven't you noticed any suitors around you?"

Feiyun shook her head. "Miss, I rarely leave the Imperial Preceptor's residence. How could I possibly have any romantic luck?"

"Tsk, there might be a mistake the first time, but if it happens twice in a row, there's absolutely no way it could be wrong!"

Feiyun didn't know what was going on, but she was certain that no other men had appeared around her. They were all servants she knew from the Imperial Preceptor's residence, and there was no romantic relationship between them; they had only met once.

"Alright, alright, I'll ask my senior brother what happened later. Anyway, remember this: my divination has never been wrong since I learned it. Just pay more attention to it yourself."

For the time being, Luo Chujiu couldn't figure out what was going on, so she simply stopped thinking about it and decided to ask her fourth senior brother if he knew what was going on.

"Yes, I understand. I will pay close attention."

"Okay, I'm going out now. When Fourth Senior Brother returns, just say I went to find a man."

After saying that, Luo Chujiu waved and left, leaving Feiyun with a helpless smile.

Miss, you really are something else. How can you say that? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were having a secret rendezvous with some random man.

Because he had made a date with Luo Chujiu the day before, Xiao Beiming simply took leave and skipped the morning court session. After washing up, he waited in his room for Luo Chujiu to pick him up.

Nan Ke watched as his prince waited for Luo Chujiu like a child waiting for his parents, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Your Highness, do you know what you look like right now?"

"like what?"

"It's like when I was a child, waiting for my mother to take me out to play."

Upon hearing Nan Ke's words, Xiao Beiming slowly raised his eyes to look at him:
"That's different."

Nan Ke disagreed, thinking they were exactly the same!
"Xiao Beiming, I've come to pick you up so we can go out and have fun!"

Luo Chujiu's voice came from the courtyard, and Xiao Beiming immediately stood up and went out.

"Did Xiao Jiu come to see me today specifically?"

Even though he already knew the answer, Xiao Beiming still asked a question in a pretentious manner.

"Of course, I came here especially to pick you up and take you out for fun. Come on, the carriage is waiting outside. Let's go to the stall to have a bowl of wontons first, and then stroll around the morning market on the street."

Luo Chujiu urged Xiao Beiming, who smiled and then followed Luo Chujiu out the door.

As Nan Ke watched his prince and future princess walk away happily, his preconceived notions about them intensified.
