Rumor Has It That I m Pregnant with His Highness Child



99 Beef Pie

Yu Niaoniao looked up at the flag hanging in front of the shop. The words “Fresh Food” were written on it.

“This is it!”

She walked inside happily. After two steps, she realized that the man was not following her, so she ran back and took Xiao Juan’s hand.

“I heard that this place has delicious beef pies. Let’s go in!”

Xiao Juan wanted to say that he had no appetite, but when he met the girl’s expectant gaze, he swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.

In the end, he gave up resisting and let Yu Niaoniao pull him into the restaurant.

The restaurant was filled with guests. The diners were eating happily, and the atmosphere was very lively.

However, the moment Yu Niaoniao pulled Xiao Juan into the door, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Xiao Juan in unison.

Someone exclaimed softly, “It’s the Eagle Guards!”

They did not know Duke Lang, but they knew the Eagle Guard’s garb.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant almost rolled over and bowed to Xiao Juan, pleading in fear.

“Sir, we’re running a small business here and don’t have much money to earn. Please forgive us!”

Yu Niaoniao hurriedly explained, “Don’t be afraid. We’re here to eat. We don’t mean anything else.”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper felt a little relieved, but he still looked uneasy.

He said carefully, “What do you want to eat, sir? We’ll get someone to pack it up and send it to your residence.”

Yu Niaoniao frowned. “Can’t we just sit in the shop and eat?”

The shopkeeper first stole a look at the cold man standing beside her before explaining softly.

“Our shop is small. I’m afraid it’s not worthy of an official.”

It wasn’t that the shopkeeper was deliberately chasing him away. He had no choice.

Everyone was very afraid of the Eagle Guards. If the Eagle Guards sat down to eat in the restaurant, all the other guests would probably run away. In that case, their business tonight would probably not be successful.

They were small businesses and really could not withstand such torture!

Yu Niaoniao did not like his attitude.

They were here to spend, not to rob. Did they have to be so guarded and ostracize them?

She wanted to say something else, but Xiao Juan stopped her.

“Forget it. Let’s go.”

With that, he turned around and left.

Yu Niaoniao looked at the embarrassed shopkeeper and then at the wary and uneasy customers.

In the end, she could only stomp her feet and reply in a huff.

“It’s just beef pie. What’s so rare?!”

She twisted around and ran out of the restaurant, catching up to Xiao Juan.

Yu Niaoniao was very worried that Xiao Juan would feel uncomfortable because of this. She carefully observed the change in his expression, but she saw that his expression was indifferent, as if there was no change in his emotions.

She couldn’t help asking.

“Aren’t you angry that they treated you like that?”

Xiao Juan said calmly, “This kind of thing happens every day. If I were angry every time, wouldn’t I have been angered to death long ago?”

The commoners in the square regarded the Eagle Guards as ferocious beasts. As long as they appeared, the commoners would retreat.

He was used to this.

Xiao Juan could be indifferent, but she could not.

She said angrily, “They’re too much. I won’t come here for dinner again!”

Xiao Juan looked at her. “Don’t you want to try this restaurant’s beef pies? Although we can’t eat here, we can send someone to get them.”

Yu Niaoniao was still very unyielding. She refused to eat just like that!

She clenched her small fists and spoke aggressively.

“Isn’t it just a beef pie? Why do we have to eat at his shop?

Let’s go home!

I’ll make beef pies for you personally. They’ll definitely taste better than his!”
