Chapter 311 - 311 You Lied to Me!
Rumor Has It That I'm Pregnant with His Highness' Child
311 You Lied to Me!
Xiao Juan did not want to bother with Wei Liao, but Wei Liao followed behind them like a sticky candy that could not be shaken off.
Wei Liao said, âYour Highness, donât leave so quickly. Since we bumped into each other, why donât we sit down and have a drink?â
Xiao Juan turned around and looked at him coldly.
âGet lost.â
Seeing that he was not giving him any respect, the smile on Wei Liaoâs face faded.
âI wanted to befriend you, but youâre treating me like this. Thatâs not good, is it?â
There was a hint of threat in his words.
Xiao Juanâs attitude was still very tough. âIf you know whatâs good for you, stay away from us.â
Wei Liaoâs gaze shifted from him to Yu Niaoniao.
âWhy is this girl wearing a mask? Is there something shameful about her?â
Afraid of being recognized, Yu Niaoniao simply shut up.
Wei Liao took a step forward. âWhy arenât you saying anything? Is it because youâre shy?â
Xiao Juan pulled Yu Niaoniao behind him and glared at Wei Liao with a warning.
âDonât you understand human language? Get lost!â
Seeing this, Wei Liao wanted to see this girlâs true colors even more.
He smiled in mock exasperation.
âAlright, Iâll leave.â
He backed away as he spoke.
When Xiao Juan turned around and left with Yu Niaoniao, Wei Liao suddenly rushed forward and took off the mask on Yu Niaoniaoâs face!
His movements were too fast for Yu Niaoniao to react. She only felt a strong wind coming at her.
Fortunately, Xiao Juan was beside her.
He grabbed Wei Liaoâs wrist in time and twisted it outward.
Wei Liao immediately felt that the bones in his wrist were about to be broken. It was so painful that his face turned pale.
âLet go!â
Xiao Juan wanted to break Wei Liaoâs hand, but his rationality told him not to do so. Wei Liao was Wei Huaiâenâs adopted son and the deputy general of the Sky Wolf Guards. If he really crippled Wei Liao, this matter would not be able to end.
Xiao Juan shook off Wei Liaoâs hand and said coldly.
âIf thereâs a next time, Iâll break your arm!â
With that, he walked away with Yu Niaoniao.
Wei Liao was left standing there alone. He held his wrist, which was in extreme pain, and a few beads of cold sweat appeared between his eyebrows.
He looked at Xiao Juan and Yu Niaoniaoâs backs and gritted his teeth in anger.
He would remember todayâs grudge. Just wait and see!
Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan went to a nearby restaurant. Coincidentally, someone was performing a dragon and lion dance beside them.
They chose a seat by the window and ate supper while admiring the dragon and lion dance outside.
At this moment, Yu Niaoniao had already taken off her mask.
She remembered what had just happened and couldnât help but ask.
âWill that Wei Liao hate us?â
Xiao Juan said calmly, âHe has ill intentions towards us, to begin with. It doesnât matter if he hates us.â
Yu Niaoniao thought about it and agreed.
That guy was not a good person. Why should she care what he thought? She would just treat him as a fart.
The dragon and lion dance performance reached its climax. The crowd kept erupting with cheers.
In the distance, someone was still setting off fireworks. Dazzling fireworks exploded in the night sky, illuminating the originally pitch-black night sky in five colors. It was beautiful.
Yu Niaoniao raised her wine glass and said to Xiao Juan.
âTo commemorate the first lantern festival weâve spent together. Cheers!â
Xiao Juan picked up his wine glass and gently clinked it with hers.
After a glass of wine, Yu Niaoniao narrowed her eyes in enjoyment.
âIâm so lucky to have met you after coming to the Imperial Capital.â
Xiao Juan looked at her quietly.
Yu Niaoniao poured herself another glass of wine and smiled.
âTo be honest, when I decided to come to the Imperial Capital, I was already prepared to be alone and helpless.I didnât expect to meet you.â
âYouâve helped me a lot. Hereâs to you. Thank you for taking care of me.â
She drained her glass again.
Xiao Juan also raised his glass. âYouâve helped me a lot too. Weâre taking care of each other.â
Yu Niaoniao smiled even more happily. âYes, weâre taking care of each other! In the future, we still have to continue taking care of each other for the rest of our lives!â
Xiao Juan looked at her with a deep tenderness that he did not expect.
Yu Niaoniao picked up her glass again.
âThis toast is to the rest of my life. May we be able to sit together and drink, eat meat, and watch lanterns like tonight every year during the lantern festival!â
Their glasses clinked again.
Xiao Juan finished his wine and looked at the woman who was still smiling foolishly in front of him. He was unprecedentedly happy.
Seeing that Yu Niaoniao still wanted to drink, he reached out to hold her glass and reminded her, âYouâve already drunk a lot. Youâll be drunk if you continue.â
Yu Niaoniao pouted. âIâm not drunk. I can hold my liquor very well. If you donât believe me, Iâll drink it for you to see!â
Xiao Juan was now certain that the woman in front of him was already drunk.
He snatched the glass from her hand.
âStop drinking.â
Yu Niaoniao was so angry that her cheeks puffed up. âWhy did you snatch my wine glass? My alcohol tolerance is really good. In the past, in Bashu, I often drank with my parents. Every time, it was me who drank a jar of wine!â
Xiao Juan took the wine pot away and asked the waiter to bring a pot of strong tea.
He poured a cup of tea and placed it in Yu Niaoniaoâs hand.
âHave some tea to sober up.â
However, Yu Niaoniao threw a tantrum. âI donât like tea. I want to drink.â
Xiao Juan called the waiter over again and instructed him in a low voice.
Soon, the waiter brought over a wine pot.
Xiao Juan picked up the wine pot, poured a full cup, and placed it in front of Yu Niaoniao.
âThis is the wine you wanted.â
Yu Niaoniao did not suspect anything. She picked up her cup and drank it in one gulp.
In the end, she realized that this was not wine at all, but hangover soup!
She flushed with anger.
âYou lied to me!â
The corners of Xiao Juanâs lips curled up slightly, revealing an extremely faint smile.
In Yu Niaoniaoâs eyes, that smile was as good as having more than ten layers of filters.
Her anger dissipated completely in this smile.
Who could be mad at a peerless handsome man who was smiling at them?
Anyway, she couldnât do it.
Yu Niaoniao cleared her throat and pretended to speak seriously.
âForget it this time. Donât do it again.â
Xiao Juan picked up the wine pot and asked.
âDo you want another drink?â
Yu Niaoniao refused.
The hangover soup did not taste good.
Xiao Juan picked up the soup spoon, scooped a bowl of glutinous rice balls, and placed it in front of her.
âEat some glutinous rice balls to fill your stomach.â
Yu Niaoniao ate a glutinous rice ball with sesame filling. It smelled quite good!
Her gaze landed on the bowl and plate in front of Xiao Juan, but she saw that he had barely touched his chopsticks. His bowl was still clean.
She couldnât help but say.
âThe glutinous rice balls here are quite delicious. Do you really not want to try them?â
Xiao Juan said calmly, âEat more if itâs delicious.â
Yu Niaoniao felt very helpless.
She wondered when he would change his habit of not liking to eat outside.
After eating and drinking their fill, the two of them paid the bill and left.
