Pei Zongxuan had been acting particularly clingy lately.
Yes, clingy.
It was hard to imagine that word would ever be used to describe the Heir of Prince Yong's Estate.
Yet, Shen Mingzhu felt it was an incredibly accurate description.
"Look, fresh buns, straight from the steamer." Pei Zongxuan was dressed rather gaudily today.
I say gaudily because his robe was made of a shimmering, iridescent silk that was particularly eye-catching.
Shen Mingzhu could hardly bring herself to look at him.
She picked up a bun and stuffed it into her mouth.
In the past, she might have felt this was inappropriate.
But Pei Zongxuan had been visiting so frequently of late—every single morning without fail.
If he were busy, he would simply have the estate guards deliver the food for him.
As it happened, these buns were exactly to Shen Mingzhu’s taste; she simply couldn't refuse.
"Tomorrow, I want pine-scented cakes, crab roe buns, and red bean porridge."
Shen Mingzhu pondered what she would like to eat the next day.
A gentle smile tugged at the corners of Pei Zongxuan’s mouth. "Very well."
