The Villain's Heart Black Moonlight

Xu Shiyin: “…”

He almost forgot that this was Cen Jinzhao's fiancée, not some young lady from aristocratic family whom he could easily hook up with.

But the other party was too stingy. He clearly didn't say anything...

Cen Jinzhao's eyes made Xu Shiyin feel uneasy. He coughed and quickly said seriously, "I was just joking, but Your Highness, you really don't have to be so formal."

"Your Highness, please sit down first." Cen Jinzhao said.

As he pushed the snacks on the table over, his voice was not noticeably dull, "The journey has been boring, Your Highness, why don't you have some snacks first? They were just made this morning."

"Okay, thank you." The little girl looked a little reserved.

She sat obediently at the farthest place diagonally opposite Cen Jinzhao, with her hands on her legs. After listening to Cen Jinzhao's words, she reached out and took a small piece of cake.

Xu Shiyin's eyebrows twitched as he watched.

Cen Jinzhao is not the type of person who would eat pastries. He was just wondering why the other party put the pastries here today. It turned out that he was waiting here.

Poor thing, he and Cen Jinzhao had met more than a dozen times and discussed big business and cooperation, but he had never been treated so attentively and could only have a sip of tea.

The thought of tea just came into his mind.

Then the man opposite raised his hand slightly, poured a cup of hot tea and placed it in front of Chi Chu.

Although his eyes were still cold, his movements seemed gentle: "Drink water if you are thirsty."

The little girl nodded softly and took the cup with both hands.

Xu Shiyin: “…”

He looked sour.

He just said that he could drink tea, but in fact he had never tasted the tea poured by Cen Jinchao himself. With this comparison, he felt really unbalanced!

"By the way, Lord Prime Minister Cen," the little girl finished the cake in her hand and drank a sip of tea before speaking: "Have you eaten the rice dumplings I sent you before? How do they taste?"

She stared at him without moving, with a hint of anticipation.

Cen Jinzhao paused for a moment. Not only did he eat the rice dumplings, he even washed the leaves and kept them. Now he was carrying them with him...

So when he looked at Chi Chu, Cen Jinzhao couldn't help but look a little guilty, but his expression was always cold and calm, even if he was guilty, it didn't show, he just replied in a deep voice:

"I have already eaten it. It tastes delicious. Thank you, Your Highness."

"I'm glad you like it. I wrapped it myself." Chi Chu smiled with his eyebrows curved.

Cen Jinzhao was stunned, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

As far as he could remember, only when he was a very young child did he experience the feeling of being given hand-wrapped rice dumplings. Only at that time did he feel that he was being remembered and loved.

But now, after many years...

Cen Jinzhao experienced that indescribable feeling again. He looked at Chi Chu, and his eyes gradually deepened.

"Hmm." The voice in response seemed a little hoarse, and Cen Jinzhao lowered his eyebrows, "Your Highness is a good cook, but for safety reasons, these things should be left to the servants in the future."

"What's unsafe about this... and it can't be called cooking."

The little girl blushed a little.

Chi Chuzhen didn't think that this was a big deal. She was just wrapping the rice dumplings. At most, she had to go through the process of washing the rice dumpling leaves. How could it be dangerous?

"Some bamboo leaves may be quite sharp. What if you get your hands cut?" Cen Jinzhao frowned in disapproval, "In the future..."

He thought that in the future, he could just let him do this kind of thing instead of handing it over to his subordinates.

However, thinking that their relationship was not that close now, Cen Jinzhao stopped talking in time.

However, the first half of his sentence had already made Xu Shiyin next to him roll his eyes.

He felt deeply that it was a bit redundant for him to sit here.

Why are you afraid of cutting your hands...

Those who don’t know would think that the princess is playing with guns and knives, but in fact, her highness is just wrapping some rice dumplings!

In other words - isn't this a bit too outrageous?

However, he took a close look at Cen Jinzhao sitting opposite him. Although this man seemed calm on the surface, he might not be so calm in his heart, otherwise he would not have given such an outrageous reason.

"Anyway, you'd better be careful. It will be troublesome if you hurt yourself."

Cen Jinzhao's tone was very heavy.

Chi Chu nodded seriously: "Okay."

As if realizing that his tone just now was a little serious, Cen Jinzhao coughed lightly and slowed down his tone a little when he spoke again: "Then Your Highness, please stay here for a while. If you are tired, you can go to the soft couch outside to rest."

Although there was no fluctuation in the man's tone, it was not difficult to hear the concern in it.

"Okay." Chi Chu thought for a moment, "Would it be inappropriate for me to sit here and listen to you guys talking?"

"No, there are no secrets between us."

Cen Jinzhao shook his head decisively.

"Then I'll sit here first. I'm not very sleepy yet." Chi Chu didn't feel sleepy at the moment, so he sat by the window, gently opened the curtain, and looked out the window while eating pastries.

However, she always kept part of her attention on the two people who were talking.

Some of the content in the conversation made Chi Chu frown slightly.

This Xu Shiyin...is really not very honest.

On the side, the two men didn't care too much whether Chi Chu over there would hear what they said. The little girl was sitting there, looking petite and cute. Her well-behaved appearance made it impossible to think of any dangerous words.

Besides, as a princess, I'm afraid I can't understand what they are talking about at all.

At least that's what Xu Shiyin thought.

Cen Jinzhao would glance over there from time to time, and the frequency was so high that Xu Shiyin was speechless.

"Prime Minister Cen, please restrain yourself. You are going to get married anyway. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, right?"

He couldn't help but lower his voice and tease.

Cen Jinzhao raised his eyes and glanced at him calmly: "This is not the point."

"How is this not the point? Isn't it one of the four great joys in life?" Xu Shiyin raised his eyebrows, thinking that Cen Jinzhao was responding to his previous sentence.

However, the man on the other side did not change his expression, and said in a low voice: "The point is, the number you gave me is wrong."

"..."Xu Shiyin's expression froze slightly.

He didn't expect the conversation to change so quickly.

And what the other party said...

Xu Shiyin subconsciously avoided Cen Jinzhao's sight.

The man opposite did not stop. His voice was not loud, but there was a hint of sharpness in his tone, which was completely different from the man who was a little nervous and embarrassed in front of his beloved girl.

"Regarding the situation of the cloth and wine industries, these two figures are probably quite different from the actual situation. I don't remember the profits being so small."

The latter is also one of the popular ways to make money.

After all, once the wine has become famous, no one knows whether what you buy is wine diluted with water or wine diluted with water.

This can be said to be a huge profit.

"I don't know if you are here to test me or have other purposes, but... if you are sincere in cooperating, don't do anything about this. I am waiting for your explanation."

Cen Jinzhao tapped his fingers on the table twice, then looked at Xu Shiyin slowly, as if waiting for his answer.
