chapter 4 The Crown Princess whose engagement was broken off (4)

by Evelyn 20:15,Sep 19,2023
"What is the Crown Prince?"
In my heart, he's not even worth a single hair of my family.
Although Lilith Jin didn't say it like this, that was the gist.
Neither Prime Minister Gu nor Tom Gu had expected Lilith Jin to say such words, and for a moment, they were filled with mixed emotions.
One thought, "My daughter has grown up."
One thought, "My sister has grown up."
At the same time, both father and son had the same thought: the Crown Prince deserved to die!
At that moment, Lucy suddenly said, "Miss, you haven't had your milk this morning. Shall I heat it up again for you?"
"No, I don't want to drink it!"
Lilith Jin had just spoken when Lucy's figure had already disappeared.
She frowned and looked at Gu Yong. Her father had never forced her to do something she didn't like, and he certainly wouldn't force her to eat something she didn't like!
After the end of the world, all normal foods had become luxuries, but she had always eaten normal food.
She had tasted sweet fresh milk, so she couldn't swallow that milk.
Seeing Lilith Jin's teary eyes, Tom Gu immediately softened.
He persuaded, "Father, Lilith doesn't like to drink it. Let's forget about it today. The taste of fresh milk is really not that great."
Gu Yong gave his son a stern look, but when he met Lilith Jin's trusting eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse.
He said, "Let's forget about it today. Let the kitchen work on improving the taste. When it's better, you can't be so picky anymore."
Lilith Jin broke into a smile through her tears.
Tom Gu silently pursed his lips.
Being picky?
That was something only Father could say.
If it were someone else, daring to say that his sister was picky in front of Father, their head would probably be relocated.
With the promise, Lilith Jin immediately spoke to the outside, "Serena Xia, go tell Lucy that there's no need to heat the milk. I won't drink it anymore..."
"Hmm?"
"When the taste improves, I'll drink it again," Lilith Jin corrected herself.
The head chef: "..."
The pressure had shifted to the kitchen after all!
In fact, Lilith Jin had already eaten a lot, but because she hadn't had an appetite for the past two days due to her mood, the maids thought she was hungry and had been coaxing her to eat more.
Now, under the dual pressure of her father and brother's gaze, Lilith Jin reluctantly picked up a piece of pastry.
She had just taken a bite when the sound of footsteps outside increased.
Some were light, some heavy, some male, and some female.
It was probably the servants from outside looking for Father and Brother, so Lilith Jin didn't pay much attention.
But soon, there was a noisy commotion outside, and behind the mixed clamor, there seemed to be a uniform chant of "Please, Miss Gu, be safe."
This was not a greeting at all; it was clearly a demonstration!
A cold light flashed in Lilith Jin's eyes. She was about to get up when Gu Yong pressed her back into her chair.
Then Tom Gu, with a cold expression, gestured to Gu Yong and left the room.
Gu Yong acted as if nothing had happened, picked up another piece of pastry, and handed it to Lilith Jin.
He said casually, "A few noisy flies. Let your brother handle it. You sit here and eat another piece."
Father's face was full of indulgent affection, but his eyes were so chilling that it was somewhat frightening.
It was like the way Dad looked at those people in the end of the world who wanted to trade her for supplies or weapons.
Others feared and saw her as a demon, but for her, that look was the greatest source of security.
The moment Dad showed that expression, the next moment, those "people" who dared to treat her as a plaything would be torn to shreds by Dad.
Truly torn to shreds in the physical sense.
Lilith Jin sincerely felt that Dad was so considerate.
Not only did he send them to Buddha, but he also saved on the cremation process.
