The Princess And The Lord

Because she disguised herself as an ordinary woman from a rural village, she could not go to a high-end restaurant, therefore Lory brought Tao Bing Wen to a small restaurant, even so, the restaurant was nice and clean but Tao Bing Wen think the place was too small and cramped, it also looks very cheap it does not suit him at all as he wanted to complain to Lory, he just opens his mouth for a second before quickly closed his mouth again under Lory warning gaze.

Soon they enter the restaurant the waiter politely took them to the table near the window, then he wiped the table diligently before inviting Lory and the others to sit down, Lory then ordered a few side dishes and hot tea but then Tao Bing Wen asked "What about my garlic ginger pork?"

Lory gave him side eyes while casually saying: "We will be vegetarian today"

Tao Bing Wen's shoulders instantly drop and then he whined like a kid "Whhy...?"

"Meat is too expensive...unless you the one who will pay for it?" Lory sneers at him.

Tao Bing Wen pursed her lips into a thin line, it was because he had no money, he shamelessly asked Lory for a gift so he had no choice but to eat in this small restaurant, normally he would not even give a glance at a small restaurant like this.

"Miss, you really don't know how to treat your Benefactor, huh?" Tao Bing Wen sarcastically said.

Mong Ki sends a death glare at Tao Bing Wen, it's good enough that his madam treats this kid for a free meal and he still wants more, it seems the Tao clan really doesn't how to educate their young one.

If Lory's glare makes him shut his mouth then Mong Ki's glare makes him quiver to his bones, still, he refused to give up thinking because his position is much higher than Mong Ki he thought mong Ki will not dare to touch him.

If only he knows.

"I don't have enough money, do you want me to sell all my belonging to treat you to a fancy meal?" Lory gives reproachful eyes.

Tao Bing Wen forgot that Lory came from a rural village naturally, he wouldn't have much money, feeling guilty Tao Bing Wen lowered his head and regretfully said: "I didn't mean that..."

Not long after the waiter came to bring the food, one by one the dishes were served on the table, and yes all vegetables, Tao Bing Wen's expression turned somber, actually, he didn't like eating vegetables when he was a child his mother had to force him to eat vegetables and when it didn't work his mother will persuade him by giving him gifts like toys or candy only then Tao Bing Wen reluctantly eat vegetables and even then he doesn't eat much either.

But now he feel very hungry, especially after being his father's punching bag, Tao Bing Wen felt his stomach was so empty he can eat a horse but unfortunately today he forgot his wallet, he also didn't know where he can borrow money, after all, he didn't know anyone in this city but if he returned to get his wallet he was sure his father would infuriate when he saw his face again.

Tao Bing Wen sighed heavily if only his mother was here, his father would not dare to punish him let alone hit him, hump, he thought his father was too much, let's see, after they got home he will cry to his mother so that his father will be punished by his mother, who told his father to hit him?

Don't know what the spoiled boy was thinking, Lory ate calmly with Girsha and Mong Ki, he could see Tao Bing Wen did not like eating vegetables but Lory didn't care, from early age Lory taught a child cannot pick their food, Lory herself actually didn't really like eating broccoli and carrots but Fred forced her through various ways, well more precisely through various threats and schemed.

Eventually, Lory is able to eat carrots and broccoli but her picky eater attitude is completely gone after the age of darkness arises when food was scarce, that's when lory learned to appreciate any kind of food she can get, truthfully she had eaten many disgusting things just to survive. That's why now Lory never complains about food anymore sadly under Zhao Li Xin's intensive pampering her picky attitude slowly acting out again even though it's not as bad as it used to be.

Lory finished her food then quietly sipped her tea, it was bitter even though she only drank two stresses before she put it, it was Mong Ki who understood and then remained silent to the tender then she took an empty cup again then pour a new cup of tea for Lory.

Lory smiled gratefully then she sipped with a pleasant sigh while propping her chin and then turn her gaze outside the window staring at people that passing by, talking and minding their own business without care, it was quite a familiar sight.

It was peaceful and quiet until someone jeered in loud voice "Look who's here!"

Lory was surprised by the people with orange uniforms 'They look familiar' Lory contemplate.

[Lory I think I have seen this eye-catching uniform before...] even Girsha who is usually oblivious to his surrounding can't help but pay attention.

[Oh yeah the uniform...where did I see it before?] Lory tilted her head as she tried to remember.

"Huh, the Iron Horse sect, again!" Tao Bing Wen crashed into the table and shouted angrily.

<strong>'The Orange Fruit group!'</strong> Lory and Girsha clapped their hands... er, wings as they finally remember

Meanwhile, Mong Ki poured more tea into Lory's cup calmly, he looked indifferent to what happened.

Some boys with orange uniforms with the horse's symbol on their chest laughed at Tao Bing Wen and the young man in the middle pointed his finger at Tao Bing Wen, "I heard you beaten and thrown away by your own father, the news seems right!"

"That's what is expected since he is useless, I hear his cultivation stuck at the Grandmaster level for years!" Another young man was mocked with a loud voice so that everyone could hear.

"Don't be too harsh on him, I hear the leader of the Sword Saint sect spent a lot of money to buy high-level pills to increase the young master's cultivation, so the grandmaster level is a quite an accomplishment for this young master, right?" another boy said in sarcastic tone adding another insult for Tao Bing Wen.

"You dare to mock me!" Tao Bing Wen jumped from his chair and anger flowed through his pulse, he had never been humiliated in public before but the saddest thing was they were right.

Although Tao Bing Wen acted tough, however, his hands trembled profusely everyone could see him getting affected by their words, therefore the smile on their faces grew wider knowing that they managed to upset Tao Bing Wen.

"Can you be quiet, you bother other guests," Lory's voice abruptly rang.

All of a sudden the room became quiet then at the same time they turned their head towards a strange woman who sat calmly with a bird beside her pecking a grape on the small plate while a man stood beside her while pouring tea in a courteous manner, none of them looked scared, rather they looked a bit annoyed.

"Noisy!" Mong Ki let out a harsh breath mimicking Zhao Li Xin.

Anger rushed to their heads like erupting the volcano their faces turned very red almost to see the hot breath coming from their nose, in their anger, they raised their fist in front of their chest and shouted: "How dare you act harshly in front of us!"

"Are you this useless man, woman?"

"No wonder she is stupid, she must be the same as this stupid young master!"

"Do you think we dare to lay our hands on you because of this loser, Tao Bing Wen told your woman to know her place!"

Tao Bing Wen was speechless he wanted to deny but they don't give him a chance, Tao Bing Wen felt wrong why did they think this ordinary woman with a humble appearance was his woman, do they think his taste was this bad?

Unbeknownst to Tao Bing Wen Lory also felt offended that they thought she was Tao Bing Wen's woman, her standard could not be so low, just look, Zhao Li Xin!

Lory then quickly waved her hand, "Hell no - no way, I'm married!"

They were all surprised then turned their eyes to Mong Ki.

Mong Ki also quickly waved his hand "Not me! I'm her servant" Not in a million years did he dare to pretend to be Lory's husband even as a joke, that's not how he wants to die.

Once again the room becomes quiet.

Suddenly Girsha nudged Lory's hand with his small feet [Lory, my grapes are finished, I want more...]

Lory loo at Girsha with a blank look then she raised her hands "Waiter!"
