Chapter 105: Spending the Night in the Cave, Part 2

Isn't it absolutely delicious? Originally, Luo Xia thought she would have to do everything herself just to enjoy a good meal, but who would have thought that Wu Ying had already prepared everything for her?

Isn’t she just the luckiest? She felt like the daughter of the goddess of fortune, blessed with all her favor!

“Here, have a bowl of chicken soup to warm your body,” Situ Tengyi said, bringing out a pot of chicken soup from the space.

The soup was still warm.

Luo Xia was speechless.

Honestly, she wasn’t lying about being touched—after all, everyone has a heart made of flesh. But that didn’t mean she could just sell herself to him, right?

“Wu Ying, I have to make this clear first: don’t be so good to me. I can’t promise to give you what you want in the future. When that time comes, don’t regret wasting your time on me.”

She didn’t want to end up paying for the time wasted—she was utterly penniless! Having encountered many such scoundrels in the modern world, she held nothing but contempt for them.

Situ Tengyi sighed helplessly. “Lolo, are you just picking a fight with me now that you’re full and have energy?”

Luo Xia frowned. “Why are you so stubborn?”

“Am I handsome?”

She nodded.

“Am I strong?”

Again, she nodded.

“Am I wealthy?”

She nodded once more.

A man like him in the modern world was the epitome of “rich, handsome, and successful”—a rare catch that one would cling to desperately.

Situ Tengyi pressed on, “Since I’m so outstanding, why can’t I be stubborn?”

Luo Xia was at a loss for words.

Fine, you win!

She said weakly, “I’ve made my point. Whatever you want to do is none of my business.”

“Why wouldn’t it be your business?” Situ Tengyi grabbed her shoulders, his gaze burning into hers. “I’ve made up my mind about you. I’m serious, truly serious. Otherwise, why would I have treated you with so much respect all this way?”

Looking into the man’s earnest and unwavering eyes, Luo Xia was momentarily dazed.

“Lolo, look at me.” Situ Tengyi lifted her delicate chin. “Tell me, along the way, have you ever developed feelings for me?”

He was always confident in his charm and knew she would fall for him eventually, but he still wanted to hear it from her own lips.

Luo Xia blinked her bright eyes and quietly uttered two words: “No.”

Situ Tengyi genuinely wanted to strangle her!

This girl had not a single romantic bone in her body.

And after all the “sweet words” he had said!

To a prince of the commandery, those words were as sweet as could be!

However—

With this girl, normal tactics wouldn’t work; otherwise, he’d only drift further from her.

“Lolo, I’ve heard women often say one thing but mean another, haven’t they?”

Luo Xia smiled as she gently freed herself from his grasp. “Wu Ying, I’m still an innocent maiden, not a woman yet.”

Situ Tengyi was speechless.

“Lolo, is it because you’re the princess of the commandery that you won’t accept me?”

This was the question that had long troubled Situ Tengyi. He knew it was childish to be jealous of himself, but sometimes he was just that stubborn! He didn’t want Luo Xia to know his true identity too soon; that would spoil all the fun.

At that moment, Pang Xiaoyu and her brother came into the cave carrying two rabbits and three wild chickens.

“Brother Wu Ying, look at our haul!” Pang Qingyu eagerly wanted to show off their trophies.

Situ Tengyi’s face darkened as he glared toward another corner.

Those two annoying third wheels! Lolo still hadn’t answered his question!

Luo Xia, however, smiled and walked over to Pang Qingyu. “Not a bad catch. I haven’t had roasted wild chicken in a long time.”
