The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1543

Chapter 1543: 749 Pure Happiness (Second Update)

Gu Jiao crossed her arms and said to Liao Chen, "I don’t believe you only stole a book. You must’ve done something else to make even a face-blind person remember you and come all the way to hunt you down!"

With his palms pressed together, Liao Chen replied, "Amitabha, a monk does not speak lies."

Gu Jiao glanced at his empty bowl, not a single dumpling with cabbage and pork filling left, even the dumpling soup was all gone.

Gu Jiao thought to herself, are you really a monk?

"Master! Where do you live?" Little Jie Kong asked.

"Master..." Liao Chen paused, then smiled, "Master has a place to stay, you don’t need to worry about Master."

"Oh," said Little Jie Kong, "that’s not it. I was just wondering where you live, so I can find you if I want to see you!"

Liao Chen smiled, "No need, Master will come to find you."

Little Jie Kong tilted his head and said, "So, Master, does this mean you will stay in Shengdu for a very long time? I’m studying in Shengdu, and I don’t know how long it will be."

It was then that Xiao Hen remembered their school admission documents were brought over by Liao Chen asking the temple’s abbott to do so.

Who exactly is he?

How did he manage to get so many Yan Country school admission documents?

Is he from Yan Country? If so, why did he become a monk in Zhan Country?

With Little Jie Kong present, the adults all spoke very cautiously, not asking an extra word that shouldn’t be asked and only silently criticizing in their minds what shouldn’t be criticized.

After gobbling his fill, Little Jie Kong picked up his small bowl and gulped down the remaining soup until not a drop was left.

"No way, you ate it all clean?" Liao Chen was astonished.

He looked chubbier than when in the temple, and it didn’t seem like he wasn’t being well-fed on a regular basis.

Putting down his bowl, Little Jie Kong seriously said to Liao Chen, "Every grain comes with hard work, Jiaojiao said we can’t waste food!"

Liao Chen curled his lip.

After all, he had grown two years older and was no longer like a little sieve.

Previously at the temple, he used to spill food all over the table while he ate.

Little Jie Kong, all sweaty from eating, had Gu Jiao take out a handkerchief to wipe his brow while asking, "Did you eat enough?"

Little Jie Kong craftily spun his eyes and counted on his small fingers, "Jiaojiao, can I still have a box of Layered Pastry?"

"No," Gu Jiao refused outright, "Eating too much at night will cause indigestion."

She even considered allowing him to have the dumpling skins only because he had expended energy frolicking with the Little Princess.

Liao Chen watched his little disciple with great interest.

My little disciple, hurry up and chant scriptures, hurry up and make your arguments, hurry up and use your three-inch invincible tongue to confuse your opponent. Aren’t you capable of talking from dawn till dusk?

Little Jie Kong adorably nodded his head, "Alright, Jiaojiao! Then I’ll eat it tomorrow!"

Liao Chen: "...!!"

Why can’t you be this obedient under your master’s tutelage!

Gu Jiao touched his plump little belly, pondering whether he could eat a small piece, but then decided against it.

He already had a little watermelon belly.

The group sat at the stall for a while, then got up and took a stroll down the Avenue to help Little Jie Kong digest his meal.

Gu Jiao walked ahead, holding Little Jie Kong’s hand, while Xiao Hen and Liao Chen followed behind.

Little Jie Kong was still most clingy to Gu Jiao, but Liao Chen’s arrival made it evident how happy he was.

Suddenly, Liao Chen spoke up, "It’s getting late. You all should head back."

Little Jie Kong stopped in his tracks and looked back at him, "But Master, you haven’t asked where I live yet?"

Liao Chen smiled warmly, "Ah, is that so? Where do you live?"

Little Jie Kong said, "I’m currently staying at the National Master Hall! In a few days, I might go back to the Academy! I’m studying in the Genius Class at Lingbo Academy, and for accommodations, I’m staying next door at the women’s Academy in Linglong Pavilion!"

He was extremely detailed in his explanation, as if worried that his Master would have trouble finding him.

Liao Chen said with a smile, "Okay, Master will remember."

After bidding farewell to the three, Liao Chen turned and walked into the alley across the street.

Xiao Hen suggested, "Let’s also head back."

"Okay," Gu Jiao nodded, looked at Little Jie Kong who was yawning, "Can you still walk? I’ll carry you."

Little Jie Kong touched his round little belly, a glint of hesitation in his eyes.

Eventually, he turned around and stretched out his little arms towards Xiao Hen, "Brother-in-law, carry me!"

He had eaten a lot and was now a little chubbier, he couldn’t tire Jiaojiao out!

Xiao Hen picked him up, feeling both annoyed and amused, holding him in one arm while taking Gu Jiao’s hand with the other, and started walking back to the National Master Hall.

"You’re so heavy; you should be called Little Weights," he teased.

"No way! You are just weak! You blame me because you can’t carry me! Are you even an adult?"

"I am an adult, does that mean you’re admitting you’re a child?"
