Pet Addiction: The Prince’s Desire to Spoil His Pet - Chapter 210

Chapter 210: Because I Like Shu Nuan (14) 

This answer was obviously beyond Xuan Jiu’s expectations, and he pondered for a while before asking, “Business? What do you do?” 

“Xuan Jiu, have you seen a map of the kingdoms? The Beiguo and Nanchao kingdoms are constantly at arms, and at the border between the two countries, many smaller countries are in a state of war all year round. Coincidentally, most of the waterways passing through these affiliated countries also passed through Beichuan. We already have a firm foot in Beichuan through old contacts. If we can take advantage of the geography, we will have a business.” 

Xuan Jiu stared at Shu Nuan for a long time, before finally reacting. 

“Is Your Highness referring to weapons manufacturing… or maybe grain?” 

“Both.” 

Xuan Jiu screwed up his eyebrows and pondered for a moment. 

“If manpower and resources come together, it will be a natural conclusion.”
 

Shu Nuan nodded and said, “However, if you want to help, you should know that it’ll be really difficult to start.” 

Even though she had fallen out of favor in the past year, she was a princess of a kingdom before. But without the Qing as her backing, she didn’t know whether the people of Beichuan would trust her. 

“I support Your Highness, and the citizens of Beichuan were people of the Qing once. Once they find out that you’re back, they will be glad.” 

Sheng Qianmo, who was far away in the Beiguo capital, didn’t know that the little girl had begun to show her edge. 

He hadn’t returned to the ShengHe Manor for the past few days. 

He’d been away ever since Shu Nuan had left.. 

He’d devoted himself to the military camp, busy day and night. 

There was no one to call him “Master Sheng” anymore. 

On that day, Ningcheng Yuan arrived disgruntled at Sheng Qianmo’s camp and said, “Brother Qianmo, I want to ask for a leave.” 

Sheng Qianmo didn’t raise his head to appraise his brother-like friend.
 

“Reason?” 

Ningcheng gritted his teeth and said, “It’s just uncomfortable!” 

“Get out.” 

“…Qianmo, come out. Let’s square off. If you don’t fight with me, I start feeling uncomfortable. If not, then just say what’s on your mind!” 

Sheng Qianmo finally raised his eyes coldly, and asked, “There’s something on my mind?” 

Ningcheng walked up to his table and said, “Why did you let Shu Nuan go!” 

“What does it have to do with you?” 

“To me…” Ningcheng Yuan was about to roar back a justification, but he realized he had no choice but to grit his teeth. “Nothing…” 

The matter had nothing to do with him, but when Shu Nuan left, she took Xuan Jiu with him. 

‘That little boy is so ruthless. He just left like that…’ 

Ningcheng had chalked the matter up to nothing. But there he was now. The moment he thought of Xuan Jiu, he wanted to fly and bring him back, but he didn’t even know where he’d gone. 

Therefore, Ningcheng was venting on Sheng Qianmo. 

“It doesn’t matter to me, but don’t think I don’t know what you are planning, Brother. If you aren’t affected by her leaving, why haven’t you returned to ShengHe Manor even once? In the end, you are afraid! If you are so capable, then…” 

Before Ningcheng could finish his tirade, Qianmo stood up, bowed his head, and said lightly, “Let’s go out and fight.” 

The two battled in the training grounds, attracting many soldiers’ attention and eliciting a lot of cheering. Finally, they both walked a little ways up a nearby mountain and sat against the rocky wall of a cliff. 

Not a word was exchanged. 

For a long time, only the cold wind roared past the silence. 

Ningcheng Yuan squinted to the south, and asked, “Brother Sheng, how can you tell when you like someone? How does it feel?” 

Sheng Qianmo’s face was calm. 

“I don’t know.” 

“Don’t you like anyone?” 

“No.”
