CHAPTER 609: CHAPTER 609: THE MARQUIS SAID, PUT THE PRINCESS’S BILL ON HIS TAB

Bai Daoyan took a deep breath, his graceful and handsome eyes filled with admiration and respect.

As expected of his sister, truly extraordinary.

So intelligent at such an early age!

"Great! Since this is something Zhi’er wants to do, Fourth Brother will support you no matter what!"

Bai Zhi’er looked out the window, her expression becoming solemn and serious.

"Fourth Brother, do you know..."

Bai Daoyan immediately assumed an attentive listening posture: "What else can sister enlighten me with?"

Listening to the little one’s words felt like enlightenment dawning upon him.

It was like a refreshing snowmelt flowing into the senses in the scorching summer, invigorating his mind!

Bai Zhi’er’s side profile revealed her slightly puffed, fair cheeks.

The little one seriously said, "You still haven’t taken me out to eat, Zhi’er is already hungry~"

Having said that, she patted her small belly and looked over with a wronged expression.

Bai Daoyan, who was ready to listen to profound teachings again, was taken aback.

He suddenly laughed: "It was an oversight on Fourth Brother’s part, forgetting that from the time we left home until now, our Zhi’er has only had a few sugar figures and ice bowls."

Bai Zhi’er gave a sweet smile: "So I directed the carriage to head to Xijiang Yue, we’ll eat there, and then Fourth Brother will accompany me to pick a place for the charity lecture!"

Arriving at Xijiang Yue, Bai Zhi’er just stepped inside.

The shopkeeper spotted her from behind the counter and immediately greeted her with a beaming smile.

"Princess, have you come to honor our little shop with your presence again? Will it be the usual today?"

Bai Zhi’er nodded: "Yes, that’s right. Oh, and Shopkeeper Uncle, please also give me an order of roast goose, make sure it’s sliced well!"

The shopkeeper’s smile hid his eyes: "Certainly, certainly, just like before, and we’ll bring a dish of white sugar for the Princess to dip in. Rest assured, the Marquis has already instructed us on this."

Bai Zhi’er paused as she was going upstairs and turned her head, blinking her bright eyes: "Did Brother Fu Ce say so?"

The shopkeeper answered with a smile: "Yes, the Marquis said the Princess likes it, so every time you come, it’ll be on his account."

Bai Zhi’er’s long lashes fluttered twice.

The siblings were led into a private room, and the shopkeeper served good tea before immediately going down to pass the order for food.

Bai Daoyan shook his folding fan: "Who would have thought, this Marquis Wan is quite attentive to sister."

Bai Zhi’er pinched a pastry with her small hand, eating while enjoying the cool tea and said: "Yes, indeed. Brother Fu Ce may have a sharp tongue and occasionally make me angry, but most of the time, he’s very good!"

Bai Daoyan’s tea-drinking paused.

He clearly found it hard to associate "good" with the cold and indifferent Feng Fuce.

In the end, Bai Zhi’er ate till her little belly was round, and then left Xijiang Yue with Bai Daoyan.

The shopkeeper personally saw them off: "Princess, Young Master, do come again!"

Meanwhile.

Feng Fuce was at his mansion in the capital, a place he returned to almost once a month.

Today, after he returned home, the housekeeper quickly prepared the bathwater for the Marquis, and then left with all the servants.

Everyone knew the Marquis enjoyed solitude.

Feng Fuce soaked in the cold water, stretching out his arms, as the ink-black hair hanging beside his face added an extra layer of chill to his sharp features.

Suddenly, a mist appeared before him, gradually dissipating to reveal the face of Lu Wang.

"Lord Demon, does the Raging Flame Lamp still need to be placed back by the Heavenly Dao?"

Lu Wang’s dull voice concealed his anxiety.

Because they had limited opportunities, and any slight mistake might be discovered by the Heavenly Daoist.

Recently, Lord Demon seemed distracted and had yet to give him the next command.

So, Lu Wang took the initiative to ask.
