Seeing the two of them at loggerheads, Beiming Ce kept silent, not interfering, watching silently.

Yan Xiaoxi was frantically eating the food on the table. Her stomach was filled with anger. She didn't know why, but she had forced herself to eat the delicious food.

Nangong Lin frowned. He glanced at Yan Xiaoxi, who was wolfing down her food. He looked at the maid beside him and said, "This king is full."

The maidservant understood and immediately went to the table with the others, and without a word, they carried away all the food.

"No, no, I still want to eat!" In an instant, all the food on the table disappeared.

When Yan Xiaoxi regained her senses, she saw the maid's shadow gradually disappearing into the distance. She looked at Nangong Lin beside her and questioned, "What does Little Linlin mean by that? "Why don't you give me something to eat?"

Nangong Lin didn't say anything as he stood up and left the side chamber.

Yan Xiaoxi was baffled by all of this.

"Brother Bei, are you full?" At this moment, Yan Xiaoxi finally remembered Bei Bai's existence.

Bei Bai Xi nodded his head. His normal appetite was already not that big. Today, he had deliberately eaten some of the food that Yan Xiaoxi brought him, so he was already full.

"That's good." Yan Xiaoxi smiled brightly, thinking, she felt that the food wasn't tasty just now, so she didn't need to eat it now.

After this incident, Yan Xiaoxi's impression of Nangong Lin was greatly reduced.

However, what she did not know was that Nangong Lin was trying to force her to eat because he was afraid something would happen to her. That was the reason why he used such a method to stop her.

He knew that it was impossible to stop Yan Xiaoxi from eating.

"Brother Bei, let me take you around." Yan Xiaoxi felt that Bei Bai had been good to her, so she wanted to do her best to entertain him.

Beiming Ce smiled, cupped his hands, and replied, "Okay, I'll be troubling you, Xi'er."

"Aiya, there's no need to be so polite between us." Yan Xiaoxi suddenly felt that being with Bei Bai Xi was such a joyful thing to do. He would always take care of her, even if she was full.

It was unlike how Nangong Lin would always steal his food and anger her.

Yan Xiaoxi didn't know what was going on either. Why did everything reminded him of Nangong Lin?

He was clearly a bad guy, an extremely hateful bad guy. She should have hated him.

"Xi Er." Seeing Yan Xiaoxi standing motionlessly on the spot, Bei Bai stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

Yan Xiaoxi smiled faintly as she looked into Bei Bai's clear eyes. She then said, "Let's go."

As they spoke, the two of them walked out of the side hall.

In just a short moment, Yan Xiaoxi had already forgotten about Nangong Lin.

Yan Xiaoxi brought Bei Bai Xi around the manor and introduced him in detail.

With Yan Xiaoxi as a happy companion, the journey was filled with cheers and laughter.

"Brother Bei, look. The lotus blossoms in the pool are so beautiful." Yan Xiaoxi had always thought that the residence of the Marquis' Mansion was already large enough. She did not expect to see the layout, design, and style of the mansion, which caused her eyes to light up.

It had to be said that apart from the palace in the Southern Water Country, the manor was probably the most magnificent.

He followed the direction that Yan Xiaoxi was pointing and forgot about it. As expected, he saw the lotus flowers blooming in the pond. The endless lotus leaves were like a sea of green.

The lotus flowers were beautiful and flawless, pure as crystal.

Some of the lotus flowers only have a green and white bud, bashful and lustful, with a bud ready to bloom.

Those with lotus flowers had only bloomed halfway. Some of the petals had fallen off, while others were clustered around the stamens, looking like a beauty-dressed beauty.

"Xi'er is like a lotus flower that has never been tainted." Yan Xiaoxi was the most peculiar woman he had seen in all these years. He had always kept her figure in his mind and would not forget her for a long time.

"Of course not, Brother Bei is too kind." Yan Xiaoxi shyly lowered her head.

"In my eyes, Xi Er is the most beautiful girl in the world." These words were from Bei Bai Xi's heart.

Yan Xiaoxi used her hands to cover her face as she retorted, "What brother Bei said is wrong. Your future wife should be the most beautiful."

The words silenced him, for the woman he wanted to marry most in his life had become someone else's consort.

Yan Xiaoxi brought Bei Bai to tour the entire Lin King's Manor. Time flew by, and gradually, the setting sun retracted its final rays of light as the sky quickly darkened.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to finish the meal. Yan Xiaoxi was not full yet and her stomach was growling from hunger.

"Brother Bei, wait here, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look." Usually by this time, food was already prepared.

Yan Xiaoxi had been waiting for a long time, but nothing had happened. She couldn't wait any longer, so she chose to rush him.

Strangely, he did not see Nangong Lin in the side hall.

After lunch, she never saw Nangong Lin again. What was he doing?

Immediately, the kitchen appeared in front of Yan Xiaoxi. She stood at the doorway, her brows tightly knitted as she looked in astonishment at the pitch-black kitchen.

What was going on now? Why was there no light when it was time to make dinner?

He pushed the door open and walked in. There was only fresh food in the huge kitchen, yet there was no one in sight.

With regards to this, Yan Xiaoxi couldn't help but feel puzzled. Could it be that Nangong Lin didn't give them enough money to let them leave on strike?

That's impossible! If Nangong Lin was a prince of the Southern Water Kingdom and he didn't have money, how would the poor live on?

At this moment, a woman walked past Yan Xiaoxi. Yan Xiaoxi recognized her at a glance. She was the chef from the Prince Lin's mansion. She remembered the person who cooked the pastries because she had a deep impression of him.

"Wait." Yan Xiaoxi blocked the cook's path.

"Greetings, consort." The chef was the first to be stunned. When she saw Yan Xiaoxi's face, she immediately bowed.

Yan Xiaoxi waved her hand and helped the kitchen cook up. She immediately asked, "Why is there no one in the kitchen?"

The chef looked at Yan Xiaoxi in astonishment and replied, "Your highness is kind. I'll give the people in the kitchen a holiday tonight."

What? Holiday?

Why didn't she know that Nangong Lin would not tell her?

Also, the cook was on vacation. What was she supposed to eat tonight?

She had always only been able to eat and not cook. Nangong Lin knew this.

"Is there anything else, Princess?" The chef was still rushing out of the house to take care of the children.

"I'm fine."

"Then this servant will take her leave." With that, the chef impatiently left the room.

Yan Xiaoxi did not stop him but she had already scolded Nangong Lin hundreds of times in her heart.

Without even thinking about it, she knew that Nangong Lin must have done it on purpose.

Taking away the food on the table at noon to prevent her from eating her fill, it was even more excessive at night to not even give her food.
