<h4>Chapter 391 - Princess Got No Time</h4>


    Three dayster, Yunru''s situation was more haggard than ever. Zizi''s sprained leg was healed but not his heart. Since she came into this house, he thought that they would get to spend more time together. Instead, what happened was the opposite.


    Zizi got more and more busy with something, and she hardly used to look at Yunru anymore.


    "Hahaha! I can walk now!"


    Soo Ei brightened. "Good, good. I am so happy to see you alright now."


    Yunru peeked at her, and his mouth twitched. "Yeah…But since you are so excited, do you have to go somewhere?"


    Zizi slightly stiffened. Then she shrugged. "No. But it was inconvenient to have a sprained leg. It was annoying to limp over and walk."


    Soo Ei seriously nodded.


    "But yes, today I do have to meet someone."


    Yunru was dumbfounded.


    Today too?


    "Who is it?"


    "My friend. We have made some ns."


    He clenched the coffee mug in his hands. "ns huh...And who is-"


    Soo Ei red at him and cut him off. "Why are you so interested in that? She still has her privacy. She doesn''t need to tell you everything."


    He gritted his teeth.


    Well if it''s about that traitor Feng Xiao, then I need to know everything!


    He coughed. "I didn''t mean it that way. I meant to ask if Zizi could have lunch with me. I will take a half day off, and after lunch, we can go shopping too."


    Zizi''s eyes sparkled. "OMG! That''s so great!"


    She imagined a lunch and shopping date with Yunru. The eagerness in her expression was unmistakable.


    Yunru heaved a silent sigh of relief. At least, she reacted like the same Princess. He probed. "So if you could postpone the ns she made with your friend…"


    That brought Zizi to reality, and she grimaced.


    "No, no! I cannot cancel my ns!"


    "..."


    "I cannot go back on my promise now," she averted her gaze.


    Yunru felt a little ufortable. "N-No problem. Then tomorrow-"


    "Impossible."


    "..."


    Somehow, he didn''t want to ask her the reason. "Then on Sunday…"


    "Sunday is even more jam packed for me."


    "..."


    Just what are you doing?


    Soo Ei waved his hand. "It''s alright, dear. Yunru understands. Right, son? You can have your dateter."


    Yunru''s mouth twitched.


    No, I really don''t want to understand…


    Then he said, "No problem. How about I drop you off at your meeting ce?"


    "Ugh…" Zizi looked troubled.


    She helplessly looked at Soo Ei. And so he came to her rescue. "Idiot son! Don''t you have any work to do?"


    Yunru was speechless. "Isn''t it chivalrous to drop her off? What did I do wrong?"


    "Hmph. And what about your father? You always ignore this lonely old man. If Zizi is busy, then did you care to think that you could spend the time with your father? No! You have grown so heartless!" He was on the verge of tears.


    "..."


    Zizi quickly patted his shoulder. "Dad, don''t cry. Sometimes, he is mean, but he has a good heart."


    "..."


    Soo Ei sniffled. "No, dear. He is always like this to me…" he shot a re at him. "If you are so free, then help me wash our car today!"


    "I…"


    "What happened? Has this old man be such a burden to you now?"


    "You...Stop with the overacting, Dad. Alright, I will help you. You don''t have to be so dramatic," he sighed.


    "And now this father''s feelings who single handedly raised you and Xinyi when your mother passed away so early on are now dramatic to you…" he took out his handkerchief and wiped his eyes. "Truly children lose their respect for their parents...Only Xinyi treats me well. On the other hand, you are apletely lost cause!"


    Ughhhh kill me someone! Yunru cried.


    When Yunru put on his shoes, he said, "I will be back by three to help with the car."


    Soo Ei harrumphed.


    As he left, instead of heading towards the station, he took a turn and stood in an alley. Since the rest of the day was going to be spent with his father, he could only use the first half to spy on Zizi''s meeting.


    When did a responsible cop like me start spying like this…? He questioned his own intentions.


    He only prayed that Zizi''s ''friend'' wouldn''t turn out to be Feng Xiao.


    But his hopes got dashed when he received a message from one of his colleagues.


    ''Feng Xiao had taken the day off today.''


    Yunru almost crushed his phone with his fist. The irritation in his chest just grew more and more.


    Why is he on leave when Princess has ns today? It cannot be…


    But then the door opened with Zizi stepping out all nicely dressed. It caught his breath in his throat for a moment as he gazed at her. The warmth in his chest disappeared though right after he saw an annoying charactere into the picture.


    Zizi brightened upon seeing Feng Xiao. Since Yunru was spying at a closer distance, he could faintly hear their conversation.


    "Yunru?"


    Zizi said, "Left already. Thank God. You know he was saying to drop me off at the meeting ce. But Dad saved me."


    Yunru''s jaw dropped.


    Dad is also with you in this!? Dad, are you betraying your own son? And you call me heartless!?


    Feng Xiao sobbed. "Thankfully I am saved from that monster! Do you know? He has been stuffing me with endless work for thest three days! I have got dark circles under my eyes now!"


    Zizi leaned and took a good look, which made Yunru feeling unsettled.


    Princess, you don''t need to lean so much…


    "Aiyaa you are right," Zizi took out a small bottle from her bag and handed it to him. "Here! Apply these on your bags! The dark circles will fade away in no time!"


    "Really? You are my savior!"


    H-Hey! Why are you giving out your stuff to him!? That''s personal. He is a nobody!


    Yunru''s gaze filled with murderous intentnded on Feng Xiao.


    Feng Xiao felt a chill, and he shuddered.


    "Why do I feel as if somebody wants to kill me?"
