236 Her Heart Beat Faster
As long as Rong Zhan took a bite, he would not send such a devil-like thing to her!
“I’m worried that it won’t taste good,” Rong Zhan continued calmly, “As it turns out, I really don’t have the talent to cook.”
Gu Qingxue wanted to strangle the man in front of her, “Your Royal Highness, I’m your doctor. Aren’t you afraid of me taking revenge if you bully me like this?”
She had already decided that she would add bitter coptis to the medicine Rong Zhan had taken!
“I didn’t do it on purpose, but if you did, you would be taking revenge on purpose. Eldest Miss Gu has always had medical ethics. Would you deliberately make things difficult for the patient?” Rong Zhan asked in return.
“Ever since I started treating You Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness hasn’t even paid the consultation fee. Isn’t it normal for a doctor like me to have some complaints?” Gu Qingxue said casually.
However, just as she finished speaking, she heard a clanging sound. Rong Zhan had thrown an item on the table in front of her.
Gu Qingxue took a closer look and found that the item on the table was actually a key that was painted with gold and inlaid with gemstones and pearls.
Seeing that the gemstones on the key were shining brightly, Gu Qingxue did not dare to think where this key came from. It was actually matched with a gemstone?
“Your Royal Highness, what is the meaning of this?” Gu Qingxue did not immediately reach out to take it. Instead, she looked at Rong Zhan with a puzzled look.
Rong Zhan said casually, “This is the key to the manor’s treasury. You can go and get whatever reward you want.”
The muscles at the corner of Gu Qingxue’s lips twitched violently twice.
It was rumored that the prince regent was as rich as a country. The treasures in his treasury were even more than the national treasury!
Gu Qingxue was very tempted. Her small hands were restless under the table. She wanted to grab the key and kiss it before stuffing it into her arms!
Her left hand grabbed her right hand, afraid that she could not control her desire. Gu Qingxue looked righteous and said, “Your Royal Highness, this is too valuable. I can’t take it.”
“You saved me and Han’er. You deserve this. Or do you think that our lives are not worth a small treasury?” Rong Zhan asked.
A small treasury?
Gu Qingxue was shocked by these words.
He was indeed a prince regent who was rich enough to rival a country.
His tone was simply too overbearing!
Rong Zhan had already said so much, yet Gu Qingxue still insisted on rejecting him. Instead, it seemed as if she looked down on him.
Gu Qingxue had no choice but to lower her eyes and agree, “Alright then. The key to this treasury can be considered to be temporarily placed with me. If you want to retrieve it in the future, I can return it at any time.”
Rong Zhan’s lips curled into a faint smile, “Alright.”
That slight smile made Gu Qingxue feel as if an iceberg had melted and a hundred flowers had bloomed.
Unfortunately, the smile on Rong Zhan’s lips only existed for a short moment. By the time Gu Qingxue fixed her eyes on it again, the smile on her lips had already disappeared completely.
Gu Qingxue could not help but feel a little regretful.
She quickly threw out the absurd thoughts in her mind and got up to serve the steaming hot dishes on the steamer.
In the end, she accidentally burned her hand.
Fortunately, Rong Zhan reached out in time and grabbed Gu Qingxue’s hand.
Her snow-white fingers turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. Seeing Rong Zhan’s hand covering her whole palm, Gu Qingxue’s heart beat faster, and she subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back.
“Don’t move.” Controlling Gu Qingxue forcefully, Rong Zhan pulled her out of the door with large strides and pressed her hand into the water tank filled with cold water.
