Pet Addiction: The Prince’s Desire to Spoil His Pet - Chapter 209

Chapter 209: Because I like Shu Nuan (13) 

“Chen Bo, hasn’t A’Qi arrived here yet?” 

Although Xuan Jiu didn’t worry about A’Qi, considering that the eagle knew the way, he hadn’t seen his partner in a long time, and thus he was very uneasy. 

Chen Bo shook his head and said, “Doesn’t he love to follow you all the time?” 

Xuan Jiu nestled his head in his hands, feeling helpless. 

“Something happened, so I let him run.” 

How could he have guessed that the eagle wouldn’t know its way back… 

He had no idea where it had gone to….
 

Even if A’Qi didn’t know where Xuan Jiu was, it should’ve come back to its first home at the Heng Manor. 

Chen Bo stared at Xuan Jiu and then looked at Shu Nuan’s injured hand. His expression turned heavy, as he asked, “Just what the hell happened…” 

Xuan Jiu took a sip and said, “It’s a long story…” 

Chen Bo was also stubborn. 

“We have time.” 

Shu Nuan got up and said, “I… will go to my former room and tidy it up. Xuan Jiu, tell Chen Bo.” 

When Chen Bo saw Shu Nuan slip out, he sighed.
 

“Every time this child does this, I know she’s feeling uncomfortable.” 

“Yet you still ask.” 

However, Xuan Jiu still explained to Chen Bo what had happened after the fall of the Qing Kingdom. Naturally, he described Sheng Qianmo as a wicked person who couldn’t be forgiven for his crimes. 

At that time, Shu Nuan had returned to her room, which was clean and tidy. It could be seen that Chen Bo took great care of it. There were many old books in her book cabinet. Shu Nuan pulled the bottom grid open, and as expected, her books were still in good condition, without even a speck of dust. 

Brushes and papers were also neatly arranged on the table, and two small gray clay figurines were placed next to the scroll holder. She’d kneaded the figurines when she was a child, and she hadn’t expected at that time they’d still be here after all those years. 

Shu Nuan picked up the figurine and looked at it for a while, then put it back silently. 

She sat down slowly beside the table, picked up a book, and opened a random page. She put her fingers to her lips, and then her eyes stopped at a plum blossom petal. 

Shu Nuan gently picked up the dried petals, whose form was still intact. She removed the petals and a very cute turtle was drawn in the blank space under the last line of that page … 

She’d painted it when as a child. 

However, she couldn’t recall when the three words next to the turtle had been added–Xiao Nuan Nuan. 

Shu Nuan took a few moments to recognize it as A’Che’s handwriting. 

This hadn’t been the first time that a young, mature person like A’Che had made such a prank. 

She touched the little turtle and slightly bent her lip. 

During the meal, Chen Bo made a table-full of dishes of warm food that Xuan Jiu and Shu Nuan loved to eat. Chen Bo pondered over what Xuan Jiu had told him, and he didn’t ask about Shu Nuan’s time during the last few years. He simply wanted her to be happy. 

After eating, Xuan Jiu took Shu Nuan shopping in the city. After all, Beichuan used to be Shu Nuan’s fief. She hadn’t come back in a long time, so she had to take a look. 

Chen Bo let them go. He was too old to run around, so he did not go out with them. 

“Princess, what do you plan to do next?” 

After leaving Heng Manor, Xuan Jiu couldn’t help but ask Shu Nuan about her plans for the future. 

Shu Nuan was wearing a cloak, hiding her injured hand. She climbed the stone bridge with Xuan Jiu’s help, looked at the nearby market, and said, “I really want to start a business.”
