Chongfei Manual [Completed]

ch 37

Zhao Jie stood by the red sandalwood box. He blankly looked at her without moving.

Wei Luo slowly opened her pitch-black eyes. The way she looked around the room was charming. The clear reflection of her eyes was like spring water. She seemed half awake and half asleep. At the moment, she couldn't even tell what night it was. She came back to her senses after a while and slowly sat up in the box.

She saw Zhao Jie and childishly called out, "Big brother."

The other people in the study were also stunned. How could there be a young girl hidden inside the box? And it was such a beautiful little girl. Who gave her to Prince Jing?

Zhao Jie recovered his senses and smiled with a hint of amusement, "Ah Luo, are you giving yourself to this prince?"

She blinked her eyes as if he had said something odd.

Who wanted to give herself to him? In his dreams!

Wei Luo held up the hua tiao puppy that she had been holding in her arms to Zhao Jie, "This is your gift. He's too little to stay inside a box by himself without fussing, so I came with him to keep him company."

(T/N: Hua tiao is a Chinese dog breed.)

Hearing these words, everyone noticed the hua tiao that had been hidden in her arms. Because he was too small, at most he was only one month old, he didn't catch anyone's attention until now. After she had taken the puppy out, he quietly whimpered. At this, everyone finally showed expressions of understanding. So it was like that... As expected, which family would have been willing to part with such a beautiful child to give to their prince who had a reputation of being the most ruthless and vicious?

Zhao Jie stared at the dog for a moment. The smile on his face had slowly faded to an intrigued expression, "Why are you giving this prince this?"

Of course, Wei Luo wouldn't tell him it was because her third older cousin's dog recently had puppies.

Her expression didn't change and her heart rate didn't increase when she said, "Because hua tiaos have awe-inspiring authority like big brother Prince Jing."

In truth, it was because she was being lazy. She couldn't think of what to give him. Just at the right time, Wei Chang Yin's hua tiao gave birth to a litter of puppies, so she took advantage of the situation by begging a puppy from him to give to Zhao Jie. How nice. This didn't cost her money or energy. She was very satisfied with this gift.

Zhao Jie didn't say anything.

She looked up to ask, "Do you like it?"

Zhao Jie looked at the so small, it was pitiful looking hua tiao puppy. The young girl had been holding him up this entire time. He thought that her arms probably felt sore, so he cooperatively took the puppy from her. He placed the puppy on the side of a black wooden table that was decorated with golden dragons.

Then, he returned to looking at Wei Luo, "What about you?"

Wei Luo had stood up inside the box and was about to leave it, "What about me?

Zhao Jie smiled, "You said that the things inside this box is this prince's gift, you're also inside. Isn't this giving yourself to this prince?"

To be honest, when he saw her inside the box, he felt delighted. He didn't like children, but she wasn't the same. She was an interesting child and it was very fun spending time with her. And, she wasn't as troublesome as other children that would easily cry and fuss. Because she rarely cried, when she did cry, people would feel sorry for her and want to pamper her. They wouldn't be able to resist giving her anything she wanted.
