He cleared his throat guiltily. "I was seriously injured at the time, so my mind wasn't very clear."
Just then, Village Chief Wang came in carrying two dishes.
Mo Lingwei asked coldly, "Do you have that many eggs? Take them away."
Village Chief Wang's face went pale. He stammered, "Crown Prince... you don't like them?"
Mo Lingwei's narrow eyes were pitch-black, carrying the oppressive air of a ruler as he stared intently at Village Chief Wang.
"I don't like them." Immense regret washed over him as he recalled holding a sharp stone shard to Shen Ningning's neck.
The sight of the bowl of peeled eggs became increasingly offensive to him.
"Take them away," Mo Lingwei urged, his brow furrowed and his presence overwhelmingly oppressive.
Village Chief Wang hurriedly picked up the dishes, but Shen Ningning blinked her wide eyes.
"Why take them away? The village chief and the others prepared these for us with such care. Besides, don't you think they're delicious, Brother?"
