Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 574 I Have No Intention of Getting Married

Next year, I have to return to Beiyan.

Upon hearing these words, Wufu’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat. She blinked as she watched Ah Jiu, while the person opposite her was looking at her with deep eyes, making it hard to gauge his thoughts.

It was Wufu who first came to her senses. That’s right, he was a man of Beiyan, and furthermore, a prince with high authority. Naturally, he would have to go back to Beiyan.

Wufu smiled in relief and said, "Have you set a departure date? I will come to see you off when the time comes!"

She was so casual about it, saying she would see him off!

Ah Jiu felt a surge of frustration and disappointment, but seeing her smiling face, he forcibly suppressed the disappointment and said in a faint voice, "Just like that? Once I go back, I probably won’t come to Nanyue again, and we might never see each other again!"

Wufu frowned, but quickly smiled and said, "How could that be? If you don’t visit, I will go to Beiyan to find you in the future. I still expect you to be a host and treat me to food and fun!"

Ah Jiu’s face twitched as he said, "You really take it easy, showing no reluctance whatsoever." It seemed it was only he who was foolishly overthinking.

Wufu personally sliced a piece of venison and placed it on the grill, saying, "What’s there to be reluctant about? All banquets must come to an end in this world. Since you are a man from Beiyan, it’s normal that you would leave!"

What a sentiment—’all banquets must come to an end in this world’!

Ah Jiu was quite angry, huffily throwing the tongs into the iron basin with a clang.

Wufu was startled. Why had he suddenly gotten angry?

"You too will reach the age of marriage next year. After a girl comes of age, it’s time to talk about marriage. Do you think that if you were betrothed or married, you could come to Beiyan?" Ah Jiu said coldly, reminding her.

Wufu turned the venison on the grill and replied, "That? I have no plans to marry!"

"What!" Ah Jiu stood up.

What nonsense was she talking about, having no plans to marry?

"Why are you so surprised?" Wufu looked at him, puzzled.

Ah Jiu wanted to question her about how a woman could possibly not marry, but seemed to think of something, sat down, and regained his calm expression.

"That’s silly talk. Even if you don’t want to marry, your mother would hardly agree," Ah Jiu said indifferently.

Wufu laughed, "She certainly wouldn’t agree, but if I don’t want to get married, could she actually force me into the bridal sedan? She can’t beat me in a fight anyway!"

Ah Jiu almost laughed.

This person always had such crooked reasoning.

"Don’t say such things in the future; it worries your mother."

"Mm. I will deal with it when the time comes. Don’t worry," Wufu said with a smile. "In the future, after I have explored all the scenic spots of Nanyue, I will go to enjoy the views of Beiyan!"

Ah Jiu opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. Well, after all, it wasn’t time for her departure yet.

"What do you think I should name my shop?" Wufu changed the subject back to the name of her restaurant.

After thinking for a moment, Ah Jiu said, "Since you lure people with profit and charity, there’s no need to change anything. I think Suishan Restaurant would be a good name."

Wufu repeated it several times and found it quite catchy, so she made up her mind, "Alright, that’s the name!" She leaned in closer, "I’ve heard that the prince’s handwriting is excellent. How about you also draft a signboard for me?"

She fluttered her eyes, her dual pupils exceedingly bright and cunning. Ah Jiu was momentarily distracted and, almost as though possessed, he agreed.

Wufu went home satisfied after being well-fed and not only having a name for her restaurant secured but also having Ah Jiu’s commitment to write it.

Following Wufu’s departure, Ah Jiu had Yuan Ye arrange the Four Treasures of the Study. After spoiling more than twenty pieces of fine Xuan paper, he finally produced a satisfactory work and had it made into a signboard, waiting to present it at her grand opening.
