Chapter 125



125 As You Wish

Yu Niaoniao carried the food box back to the Mirror House.

Xiao Juan heard footsteps and looked up at her. His gaze paused on the food box in her hand, as if he wanted to say something, but he quickly remembered his promise.

As long as she could paint a portrait of Li Qiao, he had to allow her to eat snacks in Mirror House.

He could not go back on his word. He closed his mouth silently and let her be.

Unexpectedly, Yu Niaoniao walked up to him. She put the food container on the desk.

“Baby, guess what I have in here?”

Xiao Juan said expressionlessly, “Not guessing.”

It was fine if she brought snacks, but she actually deliberately showed them off in front of him.

Was she asking for more?!

Immediately after, he saw Yu Niaoniao open the food box and carry a plate of beef pancakes and a bowl of mushroom tofu soup.

Yu Niaoniao clapped her hands and said exaggeratedly.

“Dang dang dang! Look what this is? Here’s your favorite beef pie! Are you surprised?”

Xiao Juan was stunned.

He thought that the food box contained Yu Niaoniao’s snacks, but he did not expect her to prepare food for him.

Yu Niaoniao raised her chin and said proudly.

“Don’t you think I can tell? You must be unhappy at noon. Isn’t it because I didn’t cook those dishes? Tsk tsk, I made these for you myself.”

Xiao Juan did not say anything.

He felt very melodramatic. It was just a few dishes. Who could cook them differently? Why did he have to eat what she had made herself?

Besides, Yu Niaoniao was not his exclusive chef. Why should he ask her to cook for him every meal?

Seeing that he was sitting still, Yu Niaoniao thought that he was still angry.

She stuffed her chopsticks into the man’s hand and coaxed him gently.

“Alright, don’t be unhappy. Eat it while it’s hot before you starve.”

Xiao Juan clenched his chopsticks and whispered, “Thank you.”

Yu Niaoniao waved her hand. “Aiya, don’t be so polite.”

Xiao Juan picked up a beef pie and took a bite, tasting it carefully.

It tasted extremely good.

But because it was so delicious, he couldn’t bear to finish it too quickly.

He even wondered if Yu Niaoniao would still cook for him after this meal. If she did, how long would she last?

Seeing that the man had started eating, Yu Niaoniao did not disturb him anymore. She picked up the bamboo tube and walked behind the small desk to sit down.

Fat Otaku Happy Water with popcorn was really peerless!

She was eating enthusiastically when she heard the man at the other end of the screen speak.

“The wedding date is set for the eighth of next month. What do you think?”

Yu Niaoniao choked on her Coke.

Cough, cough, cough!

She put down her cup quickly and pulled out her silk handkerchief to wipe her mouth.

Why did he say such a scary thing?!

Xiao Juan said, “If you think the eighth day is not good, you can change it to another day. It’s up to you.”

Yu Niaoniao had no thoughts about the wedding date.

In any case, they had to go through with this marriage sooner or later. It didn’t matter which day it was set.

So she said, “The eighth day it shall be.”

She could not see the man’s expression through the screen, so she naturally missed the fleeting smile on his lips.

He continued, “Although it’s a marriage bestowed by the emperor, there can’t be any less etiquette. Tomorrow, I will get someone to send the betrothal gift to your house and let the matchmaker set the date with your family.”

Yu Niaoniao grabbed a piece of popcorn and threw it into her mouth.

“I’d like that.”

Xiao Juan said, “If you have any requests for the wedding, you can tell me. As long as it’s reasonable and legal, I’ll try my best to satisfy you.”

Yu Niaoniao held her chin and thought for a moment. “Speaking of requests, I have one.”

Xiao Juan was all ears.

Yu Niaoniao asked, “Can you accompany me to the Ten Thousand Dharma Temple before we get married?”

Xiao Juan asked, “Why are we going there?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “I want to go to the Dharma Temple to light two eternal lamps for my mother and stepfather. I want to introduce you to them as their new son-in-law.”

Xiao Juan had investigated her background and naturally knew that her biological mother and stepfather had passed away.

“Alright, I’ll go with you.”
