Chapter 52



52 Have You Seen Many Handsome Men?

Since it concerned her innocence, Yu Niaoniao felt that she had to explain things clearly.

“I have a number of small flaws, but I’m definitely not the kind of woman who will be tempted. Even if I see a handsome man on the road, I’ll only take a second look at him. I won’t rush up and touch him. I’m not a perverted old aunt!”

Xiao Juan keenly grasped the key point and asked calmly.

“Have you seen a lot of handsome men?”

Yu Niaoniao recalled the many idol dramas she had followed before she transmigrated. There were really as many handsome men and beautiful women as the stars in the sky.

She immediately forgot the embarrassment of being misunderstood and laughed shyly.

“Not particularly.”

Xiao Juan asked, “How many are there?”

Yu Niaoniao began to calculate how many idol dramas she had watched and how many handsome actors she had been a fan of.

Xiao Juan just looked at her quietly.

His expression remained unchanged, but those who knew him well could tell that he was not in a good mood.

Yu Niaoniao hugged her head in pain.

“Oh my, there are so many of them that I can’t remember.”

She could only blame her idols for updating too quickly. Her small head could not accommodate so many people.

Xiao Juan was silent. No matter what Yu Niaoniao said next, Xiao Juan refused to respond.

It was as if he had transformed into a human-shaped stone statue. His entire body emitted a cold aura that kept people away.

The carriage stopped in front of the Yu residence.

Yu Niaoniao asked Duke Lang if he wanted to come in and take a seat.

Xiao Juan finally stopped being silent and replied indifferently.

“There’s no need.”

Yu Niaoniao did not force him. She smiled at him. “Then I’m leaving. Goodbye.”

She jumped down from the carriage in time to see someone walk out of the Yu residence.

Yu Pingping escorted her three friends out the front door.

Usually, they had endless things to say as long as they were together, but today, they were all very silent.

Yu Pingping, in particular, looked terrible.

She had thought that her brother would be able to escape unscathed from the Eagle Guards thanks to her friends’ help. She had even excitedly invited them to her house as a guest, but she had been slapped in the face.

So she was imagining things.

She felt humiliated.

Even so, she could only endure it.

She saw her friends out the door herself and managed a smile.

“I didn’t entertain you well today. Don’t hold it against me. Let’s meet again when we’re free.”

The three friends also pretended to be fine and smiled.

After they left, Yu Pingping’s expression immediately collapsed.

She gripped her handkerchief hard with annoyance.

Previously, she had boasted in front of her second uncle and mother. Now that the matter had been messed up, how should she report it later?

A carriage pulled up beside her at that moment.

The door opened and Yu Niaoniao jumped out.

Yu Pingping was filled with anger and was worried that she had nowhere to vent it.

As soon as she saw Yu Niaoniao, she questioned her bluntly.

“Why did you run out again? I thought Father forbade you to run around.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “But Father has promised to leave me alone.”

Yu Pingping gritted her teeth and said angrily.

“That’s based on the premise that you can save your brother. You failed to deliver on your promise. What makes you think you’ll get the privilege?”

Yu Niaoniao asked, “Why didn’t I fulfill my promise? Hasn’t Yu Sheng returned safely?”

Yu Pingping retorted, “Even if my brother comes back, it doesn’t prove that you helped. Unless you can find solid evidence.”
