Priceless Baby’s Super Daddy-Chapter 1720 - Little By Little

Chapter 1720: Little By Little

Jing Xi walked towards the gate with the bags of new clothes in both of her hands. Just before she could enter the palace grounds, a group of cars approached from behind her.

She heard the engines and turned around to realize they were the king and his guards’ cars, and she quickly moved away to let them pass.

Huo Yunshen was sitting casually in the car when she noticed Jin Xiaoxi standing outside. Without thinking, he asked his driver to stop.

He then rolled down the window and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Shocked by the king’s voice, Jing Xi turned around and saw that Huo Yunshen was looking in her direction. She turned left and right to make sure that the king was actually addressing her.

“I’m talking to you!” Huo Yunshen scolded.

Before Jing Xi could even reply, Huo Yunshen had opened the door and gotten out of the car.

“My liege… Why… why are you here?” Jing Xi asked.

“This is my home, do I need a reason to be here?” Huo Yunshen replied.

“No! That’s not what I meant!”

Realizing that her question was foolish, Jing Xi imagined slapping herself.

Huo Yunshen then turned to the driver and ordered him to drive the car back.

They waited until the cars were gone, and Jing Xi asked, “Why are they leaving you here?”

Since the distance from the gate to the actual palace was far, she was worried that the walk would tire the king.

“Is there anything wrong with taking a walk?”

N… no.”

Huo Yunshen then began to walk towards the palace. But after taking a few steps, he noticed that Jing Xi was still standing where she was.

“What are you standing there for? Hurry up!”

The only difference between Jing Xi and Jin Xiaoxi was their personalities.

Jing Xi was a kind and talented person. She would help those in need without asking for anything in return.

While Jin Xiaoxi was a coward and would listen to every order she was given.

Upon hearing the king calling out to her, Jing Xi could only chase after him, even if she did not want to.

Huo Yunshen walked at a fast pace while Jing Xi followed behind him at a slower place.

It forced Huo Yunshen to slow down to wait for her.

“Are you afraid of me?” Huo Yunshen then asked.

“No…”

Jing Xi raised her head and smiled. But the truth was the cold sweat was already running down her hands.

“Is that so?”

“Yes…”

Jing Xi had no idea how to reply to his questions. She really wanted to know what topics would interest the king so that she could at least make the conversation more comfortable.

“Were you a citizen of the Star Kingdom by birth?” Huo Yunshen suddenly asked.

“Yes and no. One of my relatives was from the Dragon Kingdom, so other blood runs in the family too.”

Since Huo Yunshen had no idea that Jin Xiaoxi was actually adopted by the Jin family, all he could do was probe into her background little by little.
