Jing Xi tidied Huo Yunshen’s bed and waited for him to come out from the shower. Huo Yunshen came out from the bathroom with only a white robe over his body. His hair was still wet and dripping.
His well-built chest was visible, and Jing Xi could not deny that he was charming.
Jing Xi quickly turned her head away and said, “I’ve prepared the clothes for you. I’ll leave them here. Oh, and breakfast is ready. Will you have it here or in the dining room?”
“The dining room.”
“Okay.”
Jing Xi then left the room and let out a sigh of relief.
She felt that working by the king’s side was a huge challenge. It was as if she was working with a fierce tiger all the time.
She wondered if she would just go crazy if she kept working for Huo Yunshen.
Jing Xi went to the dining room and placed the prepared foods on the dining table. Huo Yunshen came in shortly after that, and the servants bowed to him.
Huo Yunshen sat down by the dining table and started eating elegantly.
Yao Zheng came into the dining room when Huo Yunshen was enjoying his breakfast. She bowed and stared at Jing Xi.
“You can leave us now,” Yao Zheng told Jing Xi. “I’ll take it from here.”
Jing Xi did not move and kept staring at Yao Zheng coldly.
“Do you understand what I’m saying? Leave!” Yao Zheng scolded.
“If you want me to leave, you’ll need to get the king’s permission.” Jing Xi smiled.
“You!” Yao Zheng couldn’t believe her ears, but she also could not throw a fit in front of the king.
Jing Xi and Yao Zheng both turned to look at Huo Yunshen, waiting for his decision.
“Get out,” Huo Yunshen said.
“See!” Yao Zheng laughed. “What are you still standing there for?”
Jing Xi lowered her head and started to walk towards the door.
“Stop!” Huo Yunshen then shouted.
Jing Xi stopped and turned to look at Huo Yunshen.
“Manager Yao, I think there’s nothing else for you to do here. Jin Xiaoxi is more than enough to take care of me,” Huo Yunshen said calmly.
“What…”
Yao Zheng looked at Huo Yunshen in disbelief. She could not believe her own ears. The king was chasing her out instead of Jin Xiaoxi.
“Leave!” Huo Yunshen added.
“…”
Yao Zheng could not argue and left quietly.
Yao Zheng stared at Jing Xi angrily when she walked past her.
Jing Xi was really surprised by Huo Yunshen’s decision. She went back to where she was standing before.
Huo Yunshen went for a walk in the park after finishing his breakfast and asked Jing Xi to follow him.
Yao Zheng was standing in the palace and staring at Jin Xiaoxi from a corner. Her eyes were filled with anger and hatred.
“Why is Jin Xiaoxi with the king? I’ve heard that Jin Xiaoxi looks a lot like the queen from behind. Could that be the reason?”
