The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262: 151 Bully Back (Second Update)

Zheng Siye has been very diligent lately, spending most of his time living in the Guozijian.

After all, he is acting as the Vice Chancellor, and soon he will become the real Chancellor, so pretending to work hard is not a mistake.

Ever since Xiao Liulang mocked him about not being qualified to enter Minghui Hall, he has been pleading with Zhou Taifu in front of his majesty to speak well of him. Now, he has secured his spot in Minghui Hall.

However, he was only allowed in the outer hall, and he would have to wait until he became a Vice Chancellor to gain access to the inner hall.

Zheng Siye stood in front of the door of the inner hall, his eyes full of greed: “Soon, I will be able to move in there!”

After working a whole day, he was a bit hungry.

He wanted to have food brought to him, but there was no place to eat in the outer hall, only the inner hall had such a place.

He had no choice but to leave Minghui Hall.

An attendant from outside approached him, asking: “My Lord, are you hungry? Would you like to return to Siye Hall for a meal? What would you like to eat? I can have it prepared for you.”

Ever since he moved into Minghui Hall a few days earlier, Zheng Siye no longer wanted to return to Siye Hall. He felt that Siye Hall no longer suited his current status.

He waved his hand dismissively: “No, I’ll find something to eat outside.”

He could use the opportunity to clear his mind.

The year-end was approaching, and he still had a lot of official documents to deal with.

He really was a hardworking official!

Zheng Siye left Guozijian feeling quite pleased with himself.

Because of his departure, Gu Jiao failed to find him when she snuck into Minghui Hall to confront him.

Gu Jiao was not sure if he would return and wondered whether she should wait for him or go out and find him. Then she heard a very faint breath.

Someone was hiding here!

Could it be Zheng Siye?

Had he hidden?

A vision in black, Gu Jiao propped herself on the table and sprung towards the pillar, pulling out a shadow from behind it.

Then …

“It’s you?” Gu Jiao’s clenched fist froze mid-air.

She put down her fist and stared at him seriously: “What are you doing here so late? Why haven’t you gone home?”

Xiao Liulang: “What are you doing here?”

“…” Gu Jiao was speechless.

Even more surprising was the fact that, dressed all in black, she also found him wearing black.

A thought struck both of them simultaneously: When did you buy black clothes without the other knowing?!

Back in her previous life, Gu Jiao loved colourful clothes, but since coming here, she mostly wore green. Xiao Liulang either wore his white robes from Guozijian or his usual blue attire.

Xiao Liulang was suffocating under her soft hand. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}
