Phoenix Cries Across the World: The Cold-Hearted Princess is Too Alluring

After saying that, Guozi let go of her hand, turned around and left, not even giving Muzi a chance to speak.

Watching Guozi's departing figure, Mu Zi felt a little irritated.

Xin'er timidly walked up and nodded gently to Mu Zi.

"Thank you for speaking up for me, but it's really no problem. I can do some manual labor too."

"Okay, then go ahead and do it," Mu Zi replied softly, not even glancing at the pitiful Xin'er beside her, and walked in the direction Guo Zi had left.

Xin'er was taken aback. A hint of malice flashed across her pitiful face, but it quickly disappeared.

……

In the dining room, Chu Yingge and Mu Ziyuan were having their meal when Guozi walked in from outside, looking furious.

Chu Yingge put down the bowl in her hand and frowned.

"what happened?"

"Miss, I..." Guozi was about to blurt it out, but when she saw Mu Ziyuan standing to the side, she suddenly shut her mouth.

She can be unrestrained in front of Chu Yingge, but that doesn't mean she can be the same in front of Mu Ziyuan.

Chu Yingge glanced at Guozi's expression, then at Mu Ziyuan, turned to leave, but Mu Ziyuan stopped her with his hand.

"Even if something extremely important happens, you must finish your meal."

"I'm actually already full."

"Then drink this soup first." Mu Ziyuan's forceful tone left Chu Yingge no room to refuse.

Guozi, being a sensible person, saw this scene and hurriedly said, "Miss, there's no need to rush. You should eat first, and we can talk after you finish eating."

"OK then."

Chu Yingge had no choice but to sit back down, look at the rice bowl in front of her, and pick it up again.

The atmosphere was slightly tense.

As soon as Mu Zi entered, she sensed something was wrong. Seeing Guo Zi standing to the side, she didn't understand what was going on, but judging from her master's expression, she knew it couldn't be anything good.

"What exactly did you say?" Mu Zi pulled Guo Zi aside and said in a low voice.

"I want you to take care of it!"

"Do you know that my lord is already angry?"

"So what?" Guozi looked up at Muzi with a stubborn gaze.

Seeing this, Mu Zi knew it wasn't the time to talk, so she grabbed Guo Zi and left the dining room.

Seeing the two of them, Chu Yingge smiled. This smile, however, made Mu Ziyuan's face darken even more.

Is it really that funny?

"not at all."

"Then why are you laughing?"

"I just suddenly felt like laughing."

"..."

Mu Ziyuan was truly speechless in the face of Chu Yingge's answer.

He put down his rice bowl and stared intently at the person sitting in front of him.

"What exactly are you hiding from me?"

"How would I know?" Chu Yingge said noncommittally. "It's her who wants to avoid you, not me."

"If it weren't for your orders, would she be avoiding me?"

"I don't know that."

"Chu Yingge!" Mu Ziyuan's anger was quite evident; he seemed genuinely furious.

Chu Yingge put down her chopsticks and stared intently at Mu Ziyuan. He was clearly a prince of noble status and extraordinary demeanor, but his demeanor changed whenever she was involved in anything.

This shows that she is special to him, but she doesn't know whether to be happy or not, as she has always acted so childishly.

“I have never ordered Guozi to hide anything from you. If you don’t even trust me this much, then I have nothing more to say.”

After saying that, Chu Yingge stood up from her seat, turned around and left the dining room.

Watching Chu Yingge's departing figure, Mu Ziyuan slammed his fist on the dining table, shattering it into pieces and sending splinters flying.

Does she feel that he's interfering too much?

Damn it.

But the worst part is that he simply can't get angry at her.

Chu Yinge's performance was truly spot-on.

On this side, after Mu Zi pulled Guo Zi out of the dining room, they hadn't gone far when Guo Zi broke free.

"Let go! Didn't your lord teach you that men and women shouldn't touch each other?"

"Are you a woman? You're so fierce." Mu Zi said awkwardly.

This statement completely enraged Guozi.

"Yes, I'm not a woman. Xin'er is frail. Go find her!"

Can't you be reasonable?

"Reason? Heh." Guozi sneered, "Who wants to reason with you? I am reason!"

"you……"

Mu Zi was at a loss for words. Guo Zi and his princess were like two peas in a pod, their words were so arrogant that no one could refute them.

Guozi stood to the side, her chest heaving with anger. Although she had long known that men were all animals who thought with their lower bodies, she really hadn't expected that even Muzi was so shallow.

Although Xin'er is a pretty woman, she is actually quite wicked.

But the person in front of her insisted on protecting that woman, how could she not be angry?

Seeing Guozi's angry expression, Muzi realized that she might have been a bit harsh with her words. She took two steps toward Guozi, her face showing a hint of apology.

"Don't be angry, I'll apologize to you, okay?"

"What's the use of apologizing!"

"Then what do you want?" Mu Zi asked ingratiatingly.

Guozi stepped back, rejecting Muzi's advances, her face clearly showing aloofness.

"From this day forward, until I forgive you, you are not allowed to come near me. Stay at least five meters away from me!"

"Are you serious?" Mu Zi scratched her head in annoyance.

Guozi snorted coldly, not even leaving Muzi a reply, and turned to leave. She wasn't going to waste her time on this blockhead.

Watching Guozi leave, Mu Zi wanted to chase after her, but remembering what Guozi had said, she had no choice but to stay where she was.

Sigh, women are such a hassle. I really want to know how that prince managed to win over his princess.

At this moment, Mu Zi was unaware that her prince had just angered her princess.

Like master, like servant.

Inside the bamboo garden, in a room.

Chu Yingge lay on her side on the bed, looking at Guozi's chubby little face, and beckoned.

"come over."

"Oh."

Guozi obediently went over and sat next to Chu Yingge, her expression as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Chu Yingge gently rubbed Guozi's chubby little face, knowing that Guozi must have something to say.

"What happened? Did you and Mu Zi have a fight?"

"He's not worthy." Just thinking about Mu Zi's face made Guozi want to slap him twice.

Chu Yingge chuckled; this fruit really suited her taste.

"Tell me, what brings you to the dining room today?"

"Miss, could it be that..." Guozi was about to say something, but then she lowered her head and remained silent.

Seeing Guozi's conflicted state, Chu Yingge frowned slightly, got up from the bed, and looked cold.

"Speak, what is it you want?"
