Chapter 358: Sleeping with the Emperor (3)
Ning Hua sighed, moved his legs off the sofa, stood up and said, "Let's go."
Hott immediately turned around and led the way. He looked back and saw Ning Hua catching up, then he walked faster.
When Ning Hua arrived at the small restaurant on the third floor, Lu Xiu was already sitting at the dining table. There was only a simple meal in front of him and a cup of life-enhancing powder next to him.
However, Ning Hua's seat was filled with many soups and there were five or six plates of food in different colors, but they looked very delicious.
Ning Hua walked over and saluted Lu Xiu: "Your Highness."
Lu Xiu didn't even raise his head or look at her, and casually pointed to her seat: "Sit down."
Ning Hua pulled out a chair, sat down, and ate quietly.
After eating for a while, Ning Hua suddenly realized that Lu Xiu was looking at her. His gaze seemed to carry a burning temperature, which made her lose her appetite in an instant. Ning Hua put down the cutlery and stopped eating.
"After you finish eating, are there any left for me?"
"I am full."
Lu Xiu frowned: "Eat it all, don't I know how much you eat?"
Ning Hua angrily picked up the cutlery and started eating again.
After Ning Hua finished drinking the soup in front of him, Lu Xiu was finally satisfied. He picked up the napkin and wiped the corner of Ning Hua's mouth: "Okay, come with me to the study. I don't know how much I have been delayed these days in order to take care of you..."
Ning Hua became angry again and stood up from the table suddenly.
Lu Xiu still didn't get up from his seat. He looked up at Ning Hua's expression and asked, "Why, you can't say a word to me now?"
Ning Hua didn't say anything and continued to stand at the dining table angrily.
Lu Xiu threw his napkin on the table and stood up leisurely: "I will now formally define the scope of your duties as a maid. In simple terms, it means accompanying me in eating, sleeping, and working. Do you understand?"
After Lu Xiu finished his question, he looked directly into Ning Hua's eyes. Although Ning Hua felt a surge of anger in his heart, under this pressure, he finally compromised: "I understand, Your Highness."
Lu Xiu nodded: "I understand, let's go."
Ning Hua followed Lu Xiu to the study.
There was originally a row of sofas in the study for receiving guests, but now the sofas have been removed and replaced with a chaise longue with a blanket on it.
Lu Xiu walked to the back of the desk and sat down, then said to Ning Hua, "Look at which maidservant is as lucky as you, accompanying the master to work and receiving such good treatment... From now on, that couch is your territory. You can rest on it while I work."
Ning Hua looked at the chaise longue and was speechless for a moment.
After Lu Xiu finished speaking, he no longer looked at Ning Hua and buried himself in his official duties.
Ning Hua took off his shoes and lay on the couch, feeling extremely bored. The room was silent except for the scratching sound of Lu Xiu's pen and the sound of turning pages.
Ning Hua had been attacked three times in a row by the little tree spirit, and then suffered a high fever and fell into a coma. At this time, her whole body was filled with a morbid fatigue. She leaned on the chaise longue and fell into a deep sleep again in a short while.
Ning Hua slept very uneasily, as dreams one after another disturbed her. The changing scenes made her more and more tired.
"Ning Hua, Ning Hua..."
Ning Hua slowly opened her eyes and saw Lu Xiu sitting next to her with a glass of liquid in his hand: "Get up and drink the medicine."
Ning Hua sat up with his elbows, took the liquid from Lu Xiu's hand and drank it all.
