Pet Addiction: The Prince's Desire to Spoil His Pet Chapter 88

My Little Girl (88)

Su Huang turned a deaf ear and continued to drink with his head lowered . His eyes were unfocused like a man who was close to entering the abyss .

Ningcheng sighed . Contrary to his actions, he could understand why Su Huang was like this .

Among their brothers, aside from Sheng Qianmo who was single-minded—’Oh right, not anymore . Even Brother Qianmo is now laden with a small flower bud’—most of them who grew up in the military camp together could see through each other’s feelings . For most of them, women were just entertainment and not as important as the battlefield . But Su Huang was different; he had someone in mind .

It was the woman who’d given birth to Little Su, his son . They’d all thought that Su Huang would be the first among them to start a proper family, as they’d all seen the deep affection Su Huang held for the woman . But later, she’d been revealed to be a spy of the Nanchao Kingdom . Once exposed, she’d run away without a second thought . Other than his son, Su Huang had been left with nothing but remembrance .

That woman had caused Su Huang to lose a city, and it’d been five years since the emperor had driven him to the Yan City . He’d returned to the capital only a while ago .

Although half a decade had passed since then, Ningcheng could see that Su Huang hadn’t let go of the past .

When Ji Xili arrived, she saw Su Huang sitting by the window and drinking from a pot of wine . She went over and stood in front of him, affixing him with a firm gaze . Shu Huang looked up at her as well . Over the years Ji Xili had turned even more beautiful, and she was no longer the girl who only followed behind Sheng Qianmo . He gave her a faint smile, and said, “Long time no see, Xili . ”

Ji Xili bowed her head and smiled . She poured a cup of wine, touched his pot with it, and then drank it in one gulp .

Ningcheng Yuan ordered wine and some snacks . As soon as he saw the two drinking, he rushed over and grabbed Xili’s cup .

“Don’t learn the drunkard’s habits!”

Ji Xili wore a weak smile and asked, “How is Su Su?”

“Good,” Su Huang said before swallowing another mouthful of wine . “He’s very good, but a little clingy . Before coming here, I had to wait till he’d fallen asleep . ”

Ningcheng Yuan shook his head and sighed . “Look at your disgusting tone! Su Huan, you should be thankful . Our Little Su is smart, you couldn’t find a boy like him if you searched . ”

Su Huang didn’t laugh, and instead looked up at Ningcheng Yuan for a moment . His gaze was like a cold dagger that made the other’s hair on the arms tingle and stand up .  

Ningcheng gave a quick cough to change the topic . “Oh, why hasn’t Brother Sheng arrived yet? I’ll go and have a look!”

After Ningcheng left, Ji Xili sat down in front of Su Huang, poured herself another cup of wine, but didn’t drink it . She looked out of the window quietly .  

“How has he been all these years?”

 “You’re asking me?” asked Su Huang, wearing a shallow smile .

Ji Xili pursed her lips and didn’t speak again .

Su Huang looked down and filled his cup again .  

With a calm voice, he said, “In the past two months, he destroyed the Qing Kingdom in one stroke . I heard he brought a slave from there on his way back, and she lives in his manor . It’s quite interesting . ”

Ji Xili’s hand tightened on the cup .

She muttered, “Is it true…”
