Pet Addiction: The Prince’s Desire to Spoil His Pet - Chapter 175 - Deceiving Uncle Sheng (74)

Chapter 175: Deceiving Uncle Sheng (74)

Ji Xili had rebuked him because she was angry, but in reality she couldn’t bring herself to blame him either. After all, they’d grown up together, and last night they’d been equally drunk.

Sheng Zhiyu said, “There won’t be a next time!”

Sheng Zhiyu then gazed at a piece of gauze strewn about on the ground, and he could not help but ask, “Sister Xili, can I help you with dressing the wound?”

Ji Xili was in a state of turmoil, so how could she bring herself to worry about such minor injuries? She frowned and said, “I’ll do it myself. You go back first.”

Hearing this, Sheng Zhiyu could only nod and leave.

After Sheng Zhiyu had left, Ji Xili stood there for a while before beginning to change with a heavy heart. However, when she took off her clothes, she caught a glimpse of something from the corner of her eye. She walked to the mirror to find a deep red mark on her half-exposed neck. It was a love bite.

Ji Xili tightened her grip on the collar of her dress.

She lowered her eyes and remained silent for a moment, before turning to look at the gauze on the ground. She stared at it for sometime and then took off her clothes and began to wipe a wet handkerchief on the teeth marks on her neck. However, the mark only reddened more and more as she wiped. She flung the handkerchief into the basin, splashing water over the floor.

Ji Xili changed her clothes, then picked up the gauze on the ground and threw it away before she went out.

“Su Huang, please tell us what you can infer from Brother Qianmo’s appearance?” Ningcheng Yuan could not help but laugh as he clutched a cup of hot wine in his hand. They were inside a tent and it was early in the morning.

Su Huang walked over and calmly said, “Too much sex.”

Ningcheng Yuan clapped his thigh and said, “Wonderful, wonderful! That’s exactly what I said!”

Sheng Qianmo was not angry at all. He sat down and took a sip of hot wine before saying, “It’s time to get down to business.”

Ningcheng gave a grunt and spoke with great contempt.

“You aren’t qualified to say that to us considering what you’ve been upto all night…”

“Are you jealous of This Prince?”

Not only did Sheng Qianmo not get angry, but he even humored Ningcheng Yuan.

“I’m not jealous!”

What a joke, Ningcheng thought. He didn’t want any beauties. Why would he envy Sheng Qianmo!

“Jealous of what?” Sheng Zhiyu said as he swept aside the entrance flap of the tent and walked in. When he saw them all drinking wine this early in the morning, he couldn’t help but pour a drink for himself as well.

Ningcheng wore a disgruntled face as he said, “Youngsters who’ve never tasted this dish shouldn’t get involved in the conversation.”

Zhiyu was shocked and looked at Qianmo, asking, “Fourth Brother, what is the situation?”

“Don’t listen to his nonsense,” Sheng Qianmo said, before asking Ningcheng and Zhiyu, “How much ration did you bring?”

After running the numbers in his mind, Ningcheng took another sip of wine and said, “We prepared enough for a long war.”

Sheng Qianmo’s face sank, and he said, “The army of the Nán​cháo did not flee all the way back. News came from our spies that they are stationed at the Changsheng mountain ridge outside Southern Xinjiang. A comeback attack can come at any time.”

Ningcheng Yuan’s eyes widened as he said, “These Nanchao people have a death wish, right? How can they hope to beat us when we have the men I brought!”

Su Huang gave a low laugh and said, “General Ningcheng, the problem is they aren’t aware that you and the Fifth Prince brought troops to support us.”

Sheng Zhiyu realized that his brother wanted to strike first and use their numbers to an advantage.
