Chapter 94: Chapter 93 What the Eldest Deserves

The live broadcast room went silent for a moment, and the barrage rolled quickly:

[Which big shot has come out to support our Princess Consort?]

[I thought a luxury aircraft was the most extravagant gift I’d ever seen, but I got sl*p*ed in the face in the same live stream.]

[That’s just inhumane. Have you considered our feelings as viewers?]

[My gosh, the Princess Consort’s single livestream could feed me for a lifetime, and ten tons of lemons couldn’t outdo my sourness.]

[I’m an Earth Dog! I’m an Earth Dog! This is outrageous!]

...

Inside the screen, netizens were filled with righteous indignation, while outside the screen, Qu Tong stared at the "SUS" she had personally marked in brackets behind the ’T’ for a full half minute.

Her first reaction was, 200,000 down the drain!

Her second reaction was, how did Prince Yuting, a very busy person, find time to watch her live stream!

He had even sent her the most expensive gift in the live broadcast room.

Qu Tong did not thank him in the live stream but simply shut it down, leaving fans to wonder on their own.

Then Qu Tong made a video call to Si Yuting.

The video connected quickly, projecting the upper half of Si Yuting’s body seated in an office chair, his features sharp and handsome.

Qu Tong smiled sweetly, "Thank you for the gift, Your Highness, but you don’t have to spend so much in the live stream in the future."

Si Yuting furrowed his brows ever so slightly, "Don’t like it?"

Qu Tong shook her head, "Not at all."

"Then what is it?"

"The live stream platform takes a 20% commission on tips," Qu Tong said playfully.

Si Yuting was taken aback and let out a slight chuckle, his voice cool and smooth as jade, "Alright."

Qu Tong, observing the minor curve of Si Yuting’s lips, sometimes marveled at how some people are naturally blessed with advantages others could never achieve in a lifetime.

If Si Yuting wasn’t born of the Empress Dowager, she would have reason to suspect he was the direct son of Nüwa.

"Do you eat spicy food, Your Highness? I’ve cooked some food. Shall I send you some?" Qu Tong pulled herself back to the present, asking with great considerateness.

"I’m not picky."

Qu Tong nodded.

She liked people who weren’t picky eaters, even though she herself was.

After hanging up the phone, Qu Tong set aside a portion for Si Yuting.

The butler and Xu An were personally helping Qu Tong send out packages to her fans. Qu Tong suggested having robots or servants do it, but the butler said he had nothing else to do.

Seeing Qu Tong carrying a box over, Butler Chi reached out to take it, "Madam, let me do it."

Qu Tong didn’t refuse, "This is for His Highness."

Only then did Butler Chi notice that the box contained the meal they had today, and he was almost moved to tears, "Madam, you and His Highness have such a good relationship."

Qu Tong opened her mouth but did not explain.

In truth, Si Yuting was cold inside and out, and it had always been her performing one-sidedly, which gave people the illusion that their relationship was good.

Today was probably because Si Yuting saw her defending him publicly, so he sent a gift to her.

However, as a marriage partner with no feelings for her, Si Yuting had already done very well, and she was grateful for the benefits and protection he had brought her.

In the military base’s hall, Cheng Feng and the others had not dispersed and were cleaning up, planning to let Wen You earn some Gold Coins for some good food.

Wen You glared at her three leeching friends, "It’s your own fault for not being quick enough, not being enthusiastic about eating, and for being dim-witted."

Wen You had no intention of treating these three for free; she was recently thinking about how to build a sincere friendship with Qu Tong without involving money and to occupy a unique place in Qu Tong’s heart.

The three, seeing Wen You scolding them with words Qu Tong had used on her, were very displeased. Weren’t they all handicapped in the speed department? What good was it to only snatch some chili peppers?

At this time, Si Yuting came out in a fresh set of clothes.

He passed by them, brought back a food box from outside, and throughout did not seem to notice them, or perhaps did notice but didn’t bother with them.

Cheng Feng and the others watched as their boss came out and then watched as he went back in, their gaze growing dimmer.

The transparent lid of the food box contained the delicacies they had been eyeing in the live stream, a complete set.

Which meant they weren’t getting any this time.

"Boo hoo, the boss has changed; he doesn’t love us anymore," Xiong Lie lamented painfully.

"In the past, even if the boss had only two dishes, he would share them with us. Now he eats four dishes all by himself," Wu Yue said sorrowfully.

Cheng Feng stood up, patted his combat uniform, and said in a tone usually reserved for those who were touchingly simple-minded, "Love my ass, give me a break, you guys. The boss splurged a million in the sister-in-law’s live stream. This meal he deserves."

"Ah? When did this happen?" asked Wu Yue, Xiong Lie, and Wen You in unison, turning around.

Cheng Feng replied, "When you guys were scrambling for the pickled peppers."

"Really? Does the boss spoil his sister-in-law like this?" Xiong Lie asked in surprise.

"The boss is truly loaded. From what I know about Tong, he definitely deserves it," Wen You said, nodding in sudden understanding.

"So what was the sister-in-law’s reaction?" Wu Yue asked curiously, regretting that he’d missed the end.

The traffic in Mu’an Vegetable and Fruit Shop was so heavy that it crashed. It took them a while to get out, and by the time they got back to the live stream, Qu Tong had already gone offline.

"Don’t know, the sister-in-law ended the broadcast," Cheng Feng said, spreading his hands.

"Let it go, let it go. There’s still some Energy Fruit that the sister-in-law gave us last time; we’ll snatch some next time," Wu Yue stood up as well.

"That’s right, let’s disperse."

"Anyone up for a bath together?"

"Let’s go!"

"What about you, Wen Dazhuang?" Cheng Feng asked.

"Bugger off!"

The three of them walked off together toward the base, arms around each other’s shoulders. Wen You looked at their retreating backs with disdain and returned to his room.

Si Yuting returned to his office.

He unscrewed the box and looked at the central partition—this time there was no note.

Two servings of divine tofu, one cold and one braised, a serving of stir-fried pork with peppers, and a serving of tomato and egg he had seen before but hadn’t tried.

Although the dishes were simple, they tasted unexpectedly wonderful.

No wonder his subordinates had lost their taste for Nutrient Solution after eating Qu Tong’s cooking and fruits.

Meanwhile, Qu Tong was almost done eating when she saw Elder Yuan wobble over from the next-door guest room, followed by two bodyguards.

Qu Tong slapped her forehead; she’d nearly forgotten about this.

"Elder Yuan," the butler was the first to greet respectfully.

Elder Yuan ignored Butler Chi and walked up to Qu Tong with a disdainful and mocking tone, "Yo, you finally know to come back."

Anyone who didn’t know better might think Elder Yuan was the master of this estate.

Qu Tong knew leaving him here was her fault, so she softened her tone, "There was a reason."

Elder Yuan’s gaze then fell on the food they were eating, and testing the waters, she asked, "Would you like some, Elder Yuan?"

Qu Tong didn’t understand the deep meaning behind Butler Chi calling him Elder Yuan, but she thought it appropriate and followed suit.

Elder Yuan snorted, "Why don’t you just starve me to death?"

Fearing that Qu Tong would misunderstand, Butler Chi hastily explained, "I did send him Nutrient Solution, but he refused to drink it. He insisted on eating the little vegetable sprouts from our courtyard, which I did not allow. However, I did let Qianqian make him some Purified Meat."

All the seeds previously planted in the courtyard had sprouted. Qu Tong had used some of her Special Ability to make them grow faster, and now they had leaves two to three fingers long. Nobody suspected anything, assuming it was the effect of the Growth Liquid.
