As soon as Feng Ruqing stepped into Paramount, hungry eyes darted toward her, shocking her as she quickly took a few steps back.
“I’m sorry, I must have come to the wrong place. Chen’er, let’s go…”
When Jiu Ming was unconscious, she had no guards at her princess’s manor, only two handmaidens. It was inconvenient to take care of him, so she had left him in Paramount. Today, she was here to visit Jiu Ming, so she certainly could not bring Nan Xian along.
What if Jiu Ming woke up and… snatched Nan Xian from her?
Hence, she had come here secretly with Feng Chen without informing Nan Xian who was busy preparing for the wedding.
However…
When she saw those adorably chubby girls with freckles all over their faces inside Paramount, her heart shuddered.
But…
Before Feng Ruqing could leave, the ladies in the hall abruptly stood up and pounced fiercely at Feng Ruqing like hungry wolves.
Feng Chen frowned slightly. To prevent these insane women from harming Feng Ruqing, he took two steps forward and shielded Feng Ruqing.
The young man had a striking figure, he was youthful and handsome. Even with a light-shaded scar on his face, it did not diminish his charms.
When faced with such a gorgeous young man, normal young ladies would not be able to control themselves. They would definitely prey on this youthful lad like hungry wolves.
But, it was a pity that these ladies were not normal.
One of the young ladies who was almost two hundred pounds easily shoved the young man aside without even looking at him and appeared instantly in front of Feng Ruqing.
Feng Chen’s expression was cold. He already had his sword drawn out.
Fortunately, these ladies still acted appropriately in front of Feng Ruqing and did not touch her at all.
Feng Chen’s tense features then eased up as he loosened his grip on his long sword…
“Your Highness.” The young lady’s face was red, and she fidgeted from shyness. “I’ve admired you for the longest time. Your Highness, I have even gained a hundred pounds for you. I wonder if Your Highness finds me adorable now?”
Feng Ruqing was speechless.
She stared at Feng Chen, lost. Had she ever said that she liked chubby girls?
“You girls…” Feng Ruqing pondered briefly before continuing, “… all gained weight?”
“Yeah!” The young lady looked delighted. “Didn’t Your Highness compliment a two hundred and fifty pounds fatty back then saying she was cute? My target is two hundred and fifty pounds. Just one more month and I’ll be able to hit my target! When that time comes, may I enter the princess’s manor to serve as your handmaiden? That way I could admire your finesse when you train, I can even take the wolf out for a walk and take care of Butler Snow Wolf.”
Feng Ruqing was reluctant to deal a blow to this young lady. She let out a soft sigh. “Although chubbiness really is adorable…”
The delight in the young lady’s eyes grew. She stared at Feng Ruqing unblinkingly.
“But…” Feng Ruqing paused slightly. “If you get too chubby, it’s not good for your health and you can’t cultivate. So, you guys can see that I’ve slimmed down too. There’s no need for your girls to gain weight, being healthy is the most important.”
The young lady’s eyes were clear like stars. It was easy to tell that she was a beauty back when she was slim.
Yet, because of Feng Ruqing’s casual comment back then, these young ladies had actually taken her seriously.
Feng Ruqing had an urge to cry, but the tears did not come. When she had said those words back then, she had never imagined that something like this would happen.
“You girls cannot do this in the future, do you understand?” Feng Ruqing saw that these young ladies still looked lost, so she made her tone a little stricter. “Don’t harm your bodies like this.”
