ASTRP -Chapter 23 Does Feng Jinge Have a Lover?!

Xiao Jinghan’s brows furrowed even deeper.

Su Xiu spoke first, “What’s wrong? Your face is darker than charcoal.”

“Our dishes were snatched.”

As soon as Ning An said this, Feng Jinge and the others were stunned.

Their food was stolen?

Who had the nerve to snatch the Regent Prince’s dishes?!

Bang!

Su Xiu slammed his hand on the table.

Xiao Jinghan and Feng Jinge both turned to look at him.

“I’m going to see which blind fool dares to steal my food!”

After gritting his teeth and declaring this, Su Xiu stormed out aggressively.

The moment he rushed out of the private room, his expression twisted in pain as he blew rapidly on the hand he had just used to hit the table.

Damn!

That hurts!

Shouldn’t have used so much force…

While grumbling inwardly, he suddenly saw a waiter approaching.

His expression changed instantly. Lowering his hand, he strode forward, grabbed the waiter, and demanded:

“Speak! Who stole my dishes?!”

The waiter looked terrified: ???

Before the waiter could respond, a female voice suddenly rang out in Su Xiu’s ears—

“So you’re Feng Jinge’s lover, huh!”

Lover???

What the hell is that supposed to mean?!

Completely baffled, Su Xiu looked toward the source of the voice.

At the end of the corridor stood a woman dressed in red. She was quite beautiful, but her brows carried an air of arrogance, and her gaze toward him was filled with disdain.

“What did you just say?” Su Xiu asked.

The red-dressed woman walked toward him, two maids following behind her.

Word by word, she said, “I said—you are Feng Jinge’s lover.”

“…”

Su Xiu’s expression turned cold as he shot back, “Miss, you look decent enough—so why do the words coming out of your mouth stink worse than a latrine?”

“Throwing around ‘lover’ this and ‘lover’ that—what, do you keep a whole bunch of them yourself?”

The smug look on the red-dressed woman’s face instantly froze, her expression turning ugly.

At that moment, one of the maids behind her stepped forward and scolded angrily, “Impudent!”

“You lowly lover, how dare you speak so rudely to my lady!”

Left and right, it was all “lover, lover,” completely enraging Su Xiu.

He shouted angrily, “You damn woman, try calling me a lover again! Believe it or not, I’ll tear your mouth apart!”

Su Xiu’s roar carried into the private room.

Xiao Jinghan and Feng Jinge exchanged a glance.

“Sounds like something happened. Should I go take a look?”

As Feng Jinge spoke, she instinctively stood up.

Xiao Jinghan said, “I’ll go. With your current identity, it’s not convenient for you to show yourself.”

True.

Right now, she was “Xiao Jinghan.”

And Xiao Jinghan was “Feng Jinge.”

Feng Jinge silently withdrew the foot she had just stepped out with.

Ning An chimed in, “Your Highness, should I go check first?”

Xiao Jinghan replied calmly, “If you go, it’s the same as me going.”

Ning An fell silent.

“Then Your Highness, you—”

Before Feng Jinge could finish saying “be careful,” a sharp, piercing scream suddenly rang out.

“Ahh!!”

Immediately after came a hysterical shout:

“Everyone come look! Feng Jinge’s lover is about to hit someone!”

The three inside the room heard it clearly.

Feng Jinge’s lover?!

Xiao Jinghan and Ning An both turned to look at Feng Jinge.

Feng Jinge had a face full of confusion—her lover? Since when did she have one?

Coming back to her senses and seeing them staring at her, she said, “…Don’t look at me. I’m also curious who this so-called lover of mine is.”

For some reason, when Xiao Jinghan heard this, the image of the white-robed man from the third floor earlier flashed in his mind.

At the time, he had thought that man recognized him.

But after walking a few steps, he suddenly realized—he was currently in Feng Jinge’s body.

He was Feng Jinge.

So the man hadn’t recognized him, Xiao Jinghan—he had recognized Feng Jinge!

Xiao Jinghan pressed his lips together, glanced at the confused-looking Feng Jinge, and said lightly, “Then I’ll go out and take a look—for you—at who this ‘lover’ of yours is.”

After saying that, he gave her a meaningful glance, turned around, and walked out.

Feng Jinge: ???

What kind of look was that?

Why did it feel like she really had a lover?

As the maid shouted, quite a few people from nearby private rooms poked their heads out to watch the drama.

Seeing this, Su Xiu felt like his lungs were about to explode from anger.

His eyes locked onto the maid, wishing he could tear her into pieces.

“Feng Jinge is inside, right?!”

The red-dressed woman glanced at the tightly shut door and sneered, “Who would’ve thought—even after being punished by the Regent Prince and reduced to a maid, Feng Jinge would still sneak out to meet her lover.”

“Yo—”

Su Xiu had just begun to curse when the door suddenly opened.

“Feng Jinge” appeared before everyone.

Xiao Jinghan opened the door, and a series of familiar faces came into view—

The furious Su Xiu.

Feng Yunxiao, the third young lady of the Feng family, dressed in red.

And behind her, the two maids Cuizhu and Cuiyun.

“Tsk.”

Seeing “Feng Jinge” step out, Feng Yunxiao curled her lips into a mocking smile.

“Feng Jinge, I didn’t expect you’d still have the nerve to show your face.”

Her gaze shifted between “Feng Jinge” and Su Xiu.

“In broad daylight, a man and a woman alone in a room—how shameless.”

Su Xiu trembled with anger.

Xiao Jinghan, however, remained completely calm, unaffected by her words. Instead, he asked, “Where is my lover?”

Everyone present was stunned by “Feng Jinge’s” outrageous response.

Feng Yunxiao’s expression stiffened as she snapped coldly, “Feng Jinge, are you pretending to be stupid?!”

Su Xiu spoke up awkwardly from the side, “I… I’m your lover…”

“You?”

Xiao Jinghan’s gaze fell on Su Xiu. He looked him up and down carefully.

A look of disdain appeared on his face.

“Next time you assign me a lover, at least pick someone good-looking.”

“You—!”

Su Xiu’s face turned pale with anger.

Some “good brother”—using him like a prop!

Xiao Jinghan ignored Su Xiu’s fury and continued to Feng Yunxiao, “As for the ‘man and woman alone’ you mentioned—there are two more people inside the room.”

Hearing this, Feng Yunxiao instinctively glanced into the room.

From her angle, she couldn’t see anything.

But seeing that “Feng Jinge” didn’t seem to be lying—and considering Feng Jinge’s current status serving the Regent Prince, along with the man’s earlier behavior—

Putting everything together, Feng Yunxiao began to feel uncertain, though she still refused to back down.

“Feng—”

Xiao Jinghan interrupted calmly, “If you don’t believe it, you’re welcome to go inside and see for yourself.”

“That’s fine—but I’m afraid you’ll walk in upright and be carried out sideways.”

Hearing this, Feng Yunxiao’s expression changed drastically. “You—”

Xiao Jinghan didn’t give her a chance to continue.

“The Prince said—since you enjoy snatching food, all the dishes he ordered today will be rewarded to you.”

Su Xiu: ?????
