The Mad King's Heir

Chapter 141: This cheating bast**d

Li Jun didn’t feel as bad, but he didn’t want to watch her misery. He clicked his tongue and said, "How boring. Plus, I can’t hear what they are saying." There was no audio, of course. He knew that already, but he was just using it now as an excuse.

Yan Jia caught on and said, "How about watching something else?" He wasn’t willing to watch, but she was. She would watch it on her own, of course. Li Jun did just that. He found other interesting things to entertain himself.

As for why he didn’t go and fight alongside Yu Wen, it was because his grandfather forbade him. Given how stubborn he was, he should have rebelled, but Draco mentioned that this seer bastard was monitoring his movements, and if he went on the front lines, he would just be burdening Yu Wen.

This was the only way Draco could convince him to be an idler in the camp. You would think Li Jun would be bored being here. But he was in his element. He woke up when he pleased, ate with the soldiers, trained sometimes when he felt like it, played cards, etc. Well, it was playing cards, but in truth he was gambling with meal tickets as wagers.

And if there was something he wanted to eat and it wasn’t there, he would have his grandfather send it for the whole camp. Draco would yell at him, asking if he thought this was a game. He would yell at him but still send everything he asked for.

He also had Draco send more medical personnel from Blue Sapphire. The camp’s medical bay was fully equipped, but you could never have too much medical equipment. He gave the medical bay an upgrade. The food in the camp also improved. It was like when a single father marries a rich and benevolent wife, the entire house got an upgrade, and the children enjoy the benefits.

Li Jun chose to watch one of the shows Lu Anu recommended. In fact, that’s all he had been watching all this time. She said the shows were really good and he would enjoy them. He did find the drama in them interesting, but if it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have tried them in the first place. But now that he had started watching, he was hooked.

Lu Anu didn’t recommend them because they were fun to watch. She recommended them because she would have a reason to call Li Jun and they could discuss it. She would also take this chance to talk about how things were going between him and Yu Wen.

Li Jun had no idea that he had played into Lu Anu’s hands. He was looking at the actress who seemed frustrated that her man wasn’t coming home. She looked like a disgruntled housewife. "Hey, Sister Jia," he called out.

Yan Jia, who was sitting opposite him, peeling fruits while watching the pair of mother and daughter tear each other apart, looked at him and asked, "What’s up?"

"Don’t you think I kind of look like her?"

She was confused. What did he mean by look like her? Who was he talking about? So, she asked, and he flipped the floating screen for her to see. "See, she is bored at home. Her husband hasn’t come back, and she is just waiting, looking disgruntled."

Yan Jia looked at the beautiful actress who was crying about her neglectful husband. She was stunning, and those tears looked like precious diamonds under the light. Even she, with a heart of stone, was moved. "How can that be? Maybe if you cry a little I can see it."

Li Jun glared at her and said, "I think you are a pervert. You know that, right?"

She laughed and said, "If seeing you shed a tear or two makes me a pervert, then so be it. Do you remember how you stubbed your toe and ran to me crying?"

"No such thing ever happened," he denied quickly. "I am watching my show. Don’t disturb." How could Yan Jia let him off?

She smiled and said, "Oh, so you forgot after using me? Even her majesty was so jealous that you ran into my arms." How can Li Jun forget? His mother had yelled that he was so cute when he cried, but why not run into her arms when she was the one who gave birth to him?

These two women were vicious. They hoped he would cry even a little so they could pinch his cheeks and call him cute. Too bad, he held on to those tears and never shed them like a mermaid refusing to cry for pirates to harvest her tears.

"You two were evil. I swear Mum pinched my cheek once to make me cry," he accused.

Yan Jia could believe that. "Who could blame her? Your highness, you should never cry in front of people. You will be abducted."

Li Jun, "???"

"See, you are a pervert," he retorted and continued watching his show. While he was watching, Yan Jia pushed the plate of fruit in front of him and said,

"I will be right back." Li Jun didn’t look away from the screen as he hummed in response. The drama was getting good. Turns out the husband wasn’t working, but he was going to an underground club for some kinky punishment.

He was so focused on the dog blood drama that was unfolding before his very eyes that he didn’t notice when someone came in. A juicy watermelon slice was brought to his lips. Li Jun didn’t even think twice. He opened his mouth and ate it. Yan Jia had fed him fruit before countless times. When he got injured. When he was sick.

Even when he was playing games and forgot to eat, she would feed him while yelling at him that he didn’t take care of himself. It was a reflexive habit. Ten fruit pieces were swallowed into his stomach when he finally glanced at Yan Jia.

"This cheating bastard," he said, showing her how the actor in the series was being walked like a dog in latex underwear that barely covered anything. But he jolted in surprise, almost falling off his chair. It wasn’t Yan Jia sitting beside him. It was Yu Wen.
