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, “Your Highness, don’t leave so quickly. Since we bumped into each other, why don’t we sit down and have a drink?”
Xiao Juan turned around and looked at him coldly.
“Get lost.”
Seeing that he was not giving him any respect, the smile on Wei Liao’s face faded.
“I wanted to befriend you, but you’re treating me like this. That’s not good, is it?”
There was a hint of threat in his words.
Xiao Juan’s attitude was still very tough. “If you know what’s good for you, stay away from us.”
Wei Liao’s gaze shifted from him to Yu Niaoniao.
“Why is this girl wearing a mask? Is there something shameful about her?”
Afraid of being recognized, Yu Niaoniao simply shut up.
Wei Liao took a step forward. “Why aren’t you saying anything? Is it because you’re shy?”
Xiao Juan pulled Yu Niaoniao behind him and glared at Wei Liao with a warning.
“Don’t you understand human language? Get lost!”
Seeing this, Wei Liao wanted to see this girl’s true colors even more.
He smiled in mock exasperation.
“Alright, I’ll leave.”
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 Niaoniao’s 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 Liao’s 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.
“Let go!”
Xiao Juan wanted to break Wei Liao’s hand, but his rationality told him not to do so. Wei Liao was Wei Huai’en’s 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 Liao’s hand and said coldly.
“If there’s a next time, I’ll break your arm!”
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 Niaoniao’s backs and gritted his teeth in anger.
He would remember today’s 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 couldn’t help but ask.
“Will that Wei Liao hate us?”
Xiao Juan said calmly, “He has ill intentions towards us, to begin with. It doesn’t matter if he hates us.”
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.
“To commemorate the first lantern festival we’ve spent together. Cheers!”
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.
“I’m so lucky to have met you after coming to the Imperial Capital.”
Xiao Juan looked at her quietly.
Yu Niaoniao poured herself another glass of wine and smiled.
“To be honest, when I decided to come to the Imperial Capital, I was already prepared to be alone and helpless.I didn’t expect to meet you.”
“You’ve helped me a lot. Here’s to you. Thank you for taking care of me.”
She drained her glass again.
Xiao Juan also raised his glass. “You’ve helped me a lot too. We’re taking care of each other.”
Yu Niaoniao smiled even more happily. “Yes, we’re taking care of each other! In the future, we still have to continue taking care of each other for the rest of our lives!”
Xiao Juan looked at her with a deep tenderness that he did not expect.
Yu Niaoniao picked up her glass again.
“This 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!”
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, “You’ve already drunk a lot. You’ll be drunk if you continue.”
Yu Niaoniao pouted. “I’m not drunk. I can hold my liquor very well. If you don’t believe me, I’ll drink it for you to see!”
Xiao Juan was now certain that the woman in front of him was already drunk.
He snatched the glass from her hand.
“Stop drinking.”
Yu Niaoniao was so angry that her cheeks puffed up. “Why 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!”
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 Niaoniao’s hand.
“Have some tea to sober up.”
However, Yu Niaoniao threw a tantrum. “I don’t like tea. I want to drink.”
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.
“This is the wine you wanted.”
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.
“You lied to me!”
The corners of Xiao Juan’s lips curled up slightly, revealing an extremely faint smile.
In Yu Niaoniao’s 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 couldn’t do it.
Yu Niaoniao cleared her throat and pretended to speak seriously.
“Forget it this time. Don’t do it again.”
Xiao Juan picked up the wine pot and asked.
“Do you want another drink?”
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.
“Eat some glutinous rice balls to fill your stomach.”
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 couldn’t help but say.
“The glutinous rice balls here are quite delicious. Do you really not want to try them?”
Xiao Juan said calmly, “Eat more if it’s delicious.”
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.
