The Captivating Crown Prince - Chapter 257
Chapter 257 “The dishes are simple. Brother, please make do!” Brother Wang looked at the few vegetarian dishes on the simple wooden table. The only meat dish was the one he got his woman to kill his mother, who had raised him for half a year.Nangong Qian could see from the moment he came out that this family was poor, they were only three brick houses, and Nangong Qian also realized that he and Shang were not in the mood to live in the couple’s room, and the couple actually lived outside in the same living room as the children, and the other room was the kitchen where they ate.
“No, big brother Wang is too polite!” Although Nangong Qian said this in a cold voice, there was less arrogance in it. After all, there were too few people as simple and honest as him in this world. Nangong Qian hadn’t even picked up the dishes when he saw Da Bao sitting there drooling as he looked at the bowl of chicken. His gaze was filled with the intent to eat.
Nangong Qian scooped some food and picked up some dishes, but most of the food he picked up was vegetarian. Even the pieces of chicken were for Shang’s benefit.
“Xin Er still hasn’t eaten. Xin Er and I will eat together in the room. Big Brother Wang, you guys eat!” In fact, Nangong Qian was not used to eating at the same table as strangers, moreover their habits were different. Nangong Qian could tell from the way he sat that the couple was a little reserved, and more importantly, Nangong Qian was afraid that Shang did not have the heart to get hungry.
Brother Wang wanted to stop them, but when he thought of their relationship, he nodded. But Aunt Wang could not sit still any longer. “Then you two will eat so little!” That won’t do, you’re all patients who have been sick for so many days and have not eaten anything other than drinking medicine, how can you do that!? ” As he spoke, he prepared to pass the plate of chicken to Nangong Qian, but Nangong Qian rejected him.
“Xin’er has not recovered from her illness, so there’s no need to eat so much. My injuries are not completely healed either. If Aunt Wang doesn’t believe me, you can ask Big Brother Wang!” Nangong Qian explained. Now that they were living here and the couple was their savior, it was rare for Nangong Qian to have a good attitude.
Madam Wang looked at her husband. She was afraid that there were no good things in her house that her two guests would dislike. After all, the clothes they wore were expensive and she had never even looked at them before. She was sure they had eaten a lot.
Big Brother Wang nodded, and said in a sincere tone, “Yes, they haven’t eaten anything for a long time, so they can’t eat the Crown Prince’s food all of a sudden. Mother of the child, make some rice porridge later!” Brother Wang usually does some farm work and hunts. Luckily, he knows some medical skills by himself, so his family can solve their problem by themselves if they have a headache or a fever.
Only then did Aunt Wang relax, seeing that Nangong Qian had left, Da Bao immediately reached out with his chopsticks to pick up some chicken for his parents. She gave herself some meat to eat and shouted happily, “Dad, mom, from now on, Da Bao will eat chicken everyday when he grows up!”
It wasn’t that the people here weren’t rich, but a family like Big Brother Wang only wanted a house with three bigger meals. So not only did Da Bao’s decision not anger the couple, it made them both smile happily.
Usually, it was only because Big Brother Wang was lucky enough to catch their prey while hunting that they ate meat. However, the couple only ate the pieces of chicken that Big Treasure picked up for them, while Big Treasure went to eat some of the vegetables.
Aunt Wang curiously looked at her greedy son and asked, “Da Bao, why aren’t you eating anymore?” Normally, this child loved to eat. If there was anything delicious he wanted to eat at home, he would eat it all at once. Once, his stomach would hurt until midnight, scaring her.
Big Treasure sucked in a bit of his saliva, then picked up the bowl of chicken and ran into the room. “I’ll take it to my sister!” But just as he finished speaking, he saw his parents come back, picked up some chicken for his parents, and entered the room.
“This child!” Aunt Wang looked at the chicken in the bowl with a kind smile. Brother Wang laughed even louder. There was nothing that made parents happier than the filial piety of their children. Both of them were proud of their children.
At this moment, Nangong Qian was carrying a bowl of extremely ordinary food into the room. He saw Shang Bin lying on the floor with his eyes closed, the hair that was usually tied up into a man’s shirt was slightly spread out at this moment. Even though his clothes were still tattered, anyone could tell that he was a peerless beauty.
“Xin Er!” Get up and eat something! ” Nangong Qian sat down beside the bed, prepared to help Shang up, but he was already injured. It was just a simple movement, and his forehead was already sweating.
Without waiting for Nangong Qian to support him, he sat up on his own. The pain in his back coupled with the pain in his chest caused Shang Wuxin’s lips to turn white. Even his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, but neither of them said anything about their discomfort.
“You haven’t eaten yet?” Shang Wuxin asked unhappily. Of course, Nangong Qian’s injuries were worse, but he looked weaker because he was still a girl and didn’t have a good body.
Nangong Qian nodded. He didn’t think it was a big deal if he didn’t eat. As he spoke, he picked up the dishes and prepared to feed them to Shang, but Shang Wuxin didn’t open his mouth to look at Nangong Qian.
After persevering for a while, Nangong Qian saw that the food was about to turn cold, so he could only helplessly say, “Hurry up and eat. I’ll eat again after you’re done?”
Shang Wuxin knew that if he did not eat it, there was no way Nangong Qian would be able to eat it, thus he just ate it with Nangong Qian’s hand, feeding it to everyone in earnest. However, Shang Wuxin only ate a few bites before closing his mouth, shaking his head to show that he could not eat it.
He placed the bowl and chopsticks down, picked up a pillow and placed it behind Shang by his back so that Shang could sit comfortably, then picked up the bowl and chopsticks, beginning to eat the leftover food Shang Wuxin had just eaten.
“Nangong!” Shang had no intention to stop him. He knew that the few men beside him were all a little squeamish due to their status, but he was still unconvinced that such a man as powerful as a king would actually eat his leftovers.
Nangong Qian leisurely ate the simple and crude food before putting down the bowl and chopsticks. He reached out his hand to touch Shang’s forehead, “Do we really need to separate so clearly between us?” I’ve eaten all your saliva before! ”
Shang Xin didn’t expect Nangong Qian to have the time to play rogue. He smiled and pushed the blanket away, “Come up and lie down!” You are forcing yourself to do this in front of me? ” Did she really think that she was unable to see Nangong Qian occasionally wiping away his sweat?
Nangong Qian didn’t try to force himself onto the bed. He saw Shang Bin helping him lie down and cover himself up, like a wife taking care of her husband. This kind of Shang Bin was even more fascinating than the lonely crown prince.
“Xin’er, marry me!
He really wanted to marry Shang Wuxin and have a pampered him back home. The relationship that should have happened between them had also happened, and now that Shang didn’t have any feelings for him, Nangong Qian felt that this should be a natural thing to do.
Shang Tong had never thought that one day, he would be married off to another person. Even though she did have Nangong Qian in her heart, she had never thought about marrying Nangong Qian, not only because of her status but also because of a few other people.
“Then is Nangong willing to marry me?” Shang Chen was not in the mood to sit, while Nangong Qian was lying on his side. Their gazes met, and they both understood each other’s thoughts. Shang Wuxin’s words meant that she would not give up on Han Xuanhao and the rest. Nangong Qian knew that it was because he knew that she was sad.
Just when the two of them refused to give up, Big Treasure ran into the room with a bowl in his hand. “Sister, Big Treasure gave you good food to eat!” Shang Wuxin retracted his gaze upon hearing the voice. The two of them seemed to have returned to their original state as if nothing had happened. However, it was not clear what they were thinking.
“What delicious things does Big Treasure want to gift?” “Elder sister?” Shang asked curiously.
He held the bowl up high for Shang to see, as if he was offering a treasure. Shang was not in the mood to look at the chicken in the bowl, he only understood a little when he saw it. He smiled and touched Big Treasure’s head, “Big sister is already full. Great treasure will eat by itself!”
She clenched her fists. She was still not used to touching other people, but this kind and simple child of hers, Shang Bin, did not dislike her at all. These few days she had been in a trance, as if she was far away from those schemes and tricks.
“But this is what Big Treasure left for Big Sister. Big Sister, have a taste of this delicious food!” He really liked this sister, but this sister didn’t seem to like him very much, so he lowered his head as soon as he thought of Da Bao.
Shang didn’t know what to say, but he could only look at Nangong Qian, although Nangong Qian might not be able to coax a child like him.
Nangong Qian held back his laughter, he did not expect Shang Wuxin to be helpless against children. He looked at Big Treasure, who was standing there. “Big sister has already eaten her fill. If eating too much will cause her stomach to ache, Great Treasure can just eat by himself!”
Thinking about how he had eaten too much last time, his stomach hurt and he quickly put down the bowl. “I understand, thank you uncle!” As he spoke, he prepared to leave the room with the bowl of chicken and put it down for his parents to eat.
“Halt!” Nangong Qian’s voice carried a sense of command, scaring Da Bao stiff as he stood there not daring to move as he looked at Nangong Qian at a loss of what to do. This uncle of his was really scary. He was still as fierce as his sister, but it was unknown whether he had bullied his sister or not.
“Call me brother!” He clearly looked very young. Although he was a lot older than Shang Wuxin, but shouldn’t older men love others more? However, thinking about how Han Xuanhao and the others seemed to be much younger than him, Nangong Qian instantly started to mind.
Big Treasure didn’t understand why he directly asked, “But you look like uncle!”
Seeing Nangong Qian’s angry face, Shang Wuxin instantly said, “Actually big brother is about the same age as big sister. Big treasure should call you big brother, and in the future, I can only bring you along to play!”
Although Dabao was a bit unhappy, he still nodded after his sister spoke. “Brother!”
When Big Treasure left the room, Nangong Qian looked at Shang Wuxin in dissatisfaction, “Xin’er, am I very old?” Although a man didn’t mind his age, a man in love cared a lot about his age. Moreover, the person Nangong Qian fell in love with was not an ordinary person.
Although he was a lot older than himself, but in reality, he couldn’t really see through it. However, looking at Nangong Qian’s rare nervous expression, Shang Bin still said, “I’m 16, you’re 25 this year, you’re nine years old, tsk tsk, compared to me, you’re really a bit old!”
Nangong Qian gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t tell me that I don’t know the truth? Or does Xin Er want to remember? ”
Shang Bin’s memories of that incident were a little blurry due to his drunkenness, but she knew that Nangong Qian was fierce. Thus, Shang Tong could only force a laugh and not reply. Nangong Qian said in dissatisfaction, “As far as I know, Leng Yu Feng is also 25 years old!”
Seeing Nangong Qian’s progress towards his husband, Shang Wuxin hurriedly interrupted him, “You are not old. If you were me or you, how would I take a liking to you!”
As expected, these words calmed Nangong Qian down in an instant, directly pulling Shang Wuxin into bed. Smelling the sweet scent on Shang Wuxin’s body, he smiled and said, “From now on, Xin`er will definitely know that I am not old and will definitely not disappoint Xin`er!”
Shang’s eyes narrowed, he did not wish to explain himself …
