Chapter 218 Chu Yao 3

Chu Yao was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she screamed, "Ah—a ghost—!"

Ye Liuli stood up, laughing so hard she squatted down on the ground, clutching her stomach: "Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter."

Chu Yao recognized Ye Liuli and immediately became unhappy, jumping out from below: "Royal sister, why did you scare me!"

"I'm so happy." Ye Liuli finally found Chu Yao, and seeing that she was alright, she felt both angry and amused. "You brat, get out here now!" Ye Liuli said, reaching out to grab Chu Yao.

"Royal sister, I, I won't go out!" Chu Yao said, squeezing further inside.

Ye Liuli's temper flared up immediately: "You brat, do you know how worried we were when you suddenly disappeared?! My brother was already exhausted from working for the country, and now he almost had a heart attack because of you!"

"I...I..." Chu Yao was also saddened by what she heard and was speechless for a moment.

"Come out quickly and come back with me," Ye Liuli said to Chu Yao.

"I'm not going back! Sister, go tell Brother, Father, and Mother that Chu Yao will go back once she's had enough of being outside." She couldn't go back. She hadn't even seen her immortal brother yet; how could she be willing to go back like this?!

Ye Liuli was furious and wished she could beat her up right there to vent her anger.

"Liuli, let me give it a try." Just as Ye Liuli was about to make a move, Liu Ruxuan walked in.

Ye Liuli smiled awkwardly: "Ruxuan, my little sister is really hard to discipline and very willful. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Liu Ruxuan smiled and said, "It's alright, Liuli, you can go out first. I'll talk to Chu Yao."

Ye Liuli looked at Chu Yao, then at herself, and nodded.

After Ye Liuli left, Liu Ruxuan turned to look at Chu Yao, her eyes icy cold: "Chu Yao, do you really want to see your fairy brother that much?"

Chu Yao paused for a moment, then mumbled, "Hmm."

"Speak louder, I can't hear you!" Liu Ruxuan's tone suddenly changed, startling Chu Yao. Liu Ruxuan's tone at this moment was exactly the same as that of the stern tutor in the palace.

Chu Yao took a deep breath and slowly stepped out from under the counter: "Yes! I want to see the Immortal Brother!"

"Very good." Liu Ruxuan smiled sarcastically, then returned to normal in the next second, her expression so quick it was hard to catch. She then flicked her sleeves and walked out.

Chu Yao was completely confused by her. What was Liu Ruxuan trying to do?

Was that smile just now mocking him? Chu Yao shook her head, feeling a little uneasy.

Ye Liuli saw Liu Ruxuan walk out smiling and was very puzzled: "Ruxuan, you..."

"Liuli, you've come all this way, why don't you stay here for a few more days?" Liu Ruxuan said with a smile.

"Even if you don't want me to stay, I'll still stay for a few days." Seeing that Liu Ruxuan didn't seem to have any other emotions, Ye Liuli was temporarily relieved.

For the next two days, Chu Yao behaved herself very well, like a well-bred young lady, and never competed for credit again. The fairy brother she had been longing for never appeared.

One afternoon, Chu Yao was picking herbs in the back garden when Liu Ruxuan came over: "Chu Yao."

Chu Yao was startled, not expecting Liu Ruxuan to come looking for her. Chu Yao murmured softly, "Sister Ruxuan..."

"Don't be nervous. Why have you been unhappy these past two days? Did I scare you before?" Liu Ruxuan asked softly.

Chu Yao shook her head: "No."

Liu Ruxuan smiled and said, "We have guests coming tonight." Then she turned and left.

Chu Yao was still standing there, stunned. A guest? What guest?

For dinner, Liu Ruxuan personally cooked a variety of dishes, including shredded pork with garlic sauce, braised pork belly, boiled fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, shredded pork with sweet bean sauce, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and tomato meatball soup.

This was Liu Ruxuan's first time cooking, and it was because of someone.
