“Since His Highness favors you, regardless of whether his illness can be cured or not, you should go over and take a look.” Zhou Ying quipped in as she walked out of the room with a first aid kit.
Judging from the butler’s intentions, he was adamant about inviting Gu Chengrui over today.
Since he couldn’t avoid it, he might as well take a look and see what King Kang was up to.
Gu Chengrui nodded and said to Zhou Ying, “I’ll have to trouble you with the matters at home.”
“Go; I’ll wait for you.” Zhou Ying smiled.
After he left, Zhou Ying went to the study and followed him with her divine senses.
The journey was smooth. After entering King Kang’s Residence, the butler brought Gu Chengrui all the way to the study.contemporary romance
After entering, King Kang, who was practicing calligraphy, raised his head and said, “Cousin, you’re here. Sit down.”
Gu Chengrui looked at King Kang’s glowing face and knew he had been deceived. He could not criticize him, but he could at least make things difficult for the butler.
Therefore, he turned his head and said, “This is your fault. No matter what, you can’t joke about His Highness’ health.”
King Kang waved his hand when he saw this. “It’s me who asked him to say that. Otherwise, how could he have invited you?”
Seeing this, the butler immediately left.
“You flatter me. May I know why Your Highness is looking for me?” Gu Chengrui asked with a smile.
“Sit down and let’s have a chat. Actually, it’s not a big deal. The vegetables from the manor have arrived, so I wanted to invite you over for a meal.” After King Kang finished speaking, he sat down first.
Seeing this, Gu Chengrui could only sit opposite him.
However, he did not believe a single word he said. He just did not know what King Kang was up to.
Soon, a servant girl came over with a pot of tea.
After it was served, King Kang said, “This is the new tea that just came out this year. Try it and see if it suits your taste. If you like it, I’ll pack a pound for you when we go back.”
“Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness.” Gu Chengrui smiled, then picked up the teacup and sniffed it thoughtfully. “The tea is clear, and it smells strong and refreshing. It’s must be a high-grade Longjing tea.”
“Not bad. It seems that you’re also a tea lover. Try the taste.” After King Kang finished speaking, as if to dispel his worries, he first raised his cup and took a sip.
Gu Chengrui raised his guard when he saw this.
“There’s no problem with the tea,” Zhou Ying whispered into his ear.
When the servant girl made the tea, she saw that it wasn’t tampered with, whether it was the tea or the cup.
Gu Chengrui smiled and raised his cup, too. “Thank you, Your Highness.”
Drinking a mouthful of such tea was really a rare pleasure. He nodded and commented, “The taste is mellow and sweet, as expected of a top-grade Longjing tea.”
“Haha, it’s good that you like it. Drink a few more cups.”.
After that, the two of them drank tea and chatted. Afterward, King Kang brought him around his residence until lunch.
The dishes were mainly fresh vegetables and seafood, which were quite delicious. The wine was a rare hundred-year-old Shaoxing wine. In short, the meal was lovely.
Gu Chengrui did not relax even after all that. Instead, he became even more vigilant, as he did not believe he had come here today just to be treated to a meal.
After the meal, Gu Chengrui drank another pot of tea. He stood up and said, “Thank you for your hospitality today, Your Highness. It’s getting late, and I have matters to attend to in the afternoon.”
“Oh, do stay. I’m free now, and it’s very dull.
“As for you, you don’t have to work in the government office anymore either. You can play a few games of chess with me before you leave.” King Kang did not wait for him to reject and brought him to a pavilion in the garden to play chess..
