Chapter 408: Miss Conch

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yu Niaoniao lay upright on the bed and stared at the beam with dead fish eyes.

At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind:

She could not live like this!

The bastard had actually left her here and run away alone.

To think that she did not hesitate to put down her reservations as a girl and took the initiative to throw herself at him.

In the end, this was the outcome.

She had really thrown her flirtatious glances at a blind person and wasted her efforts!

Yu Niaoniao gritted her teeth and thought hatefully that she could not forgive Xiao Juan so easily.

Didn’t he refuse to acknowledge her?

Then she would ignore him!

She said would see who can outlast who?!

She practiced many ways to have a cold war with Xiao Juan in her mind and unknowingly fell asleep.

What she did not know was that Xiao Juan had not gone far.

He had been standing outside the study door.

After the aura in the room calmed down, Xiao Juan pushed open the door and walked in silently.

He walked to the bed and looked at Niaoniao quietly, his eyes filled with obvious longing.

At this moment, Yu Niaoniao was sleeping soundly and did not notice the movement beside her.

After looking at her for a while, Xiao Juan reluctantly retracted his gaze and turned to walk to the desk.

He picked up the half-finished bookmark on the table and studied it carefully in the bright moonlight coming through the window. Then he tried to process it.

Because he had no experience, his movements were inevitably a little clumsy.

After a few more times, he mastered the method and did it more and more smoothly.

He hated the bookmarks, and hated the person who was about to receive them even more.

But he knew that he could not stop Niaoniao from sending these bookmarks out.

She could not finish these bookmarks tonight. She would definitely have to continue tomorrow, but she had to report to the Justice Department tomorrow morning. She could only get up early and rush work.

Xiao Juan did not want her to wake up so early. He wanted her to sleep more.

He could only suppress his discomfort and help her make all these bookmarks.

Yu Niaoniao still remembered the bookmarks.

Before dawn the next day, she struggled out of bed.

She had to finish the rest of the bookmarks before she went to the Justice Department.

But when she reached the desk, she realized that all the bookmarks had been made. They were neatly arranged on the desk.

Yu Niaoniao could not help but be stunned.

She remembered that she had not finished the bookmarks last night!

Could it be that her memory was messed up?

Or had the legendary Miss Conch appeared and helped her finish everything?

Yu Niaoniao scratched the back of her head, puzzled.

The sky outside the window was still gray. It was still early.

She yawned, sleepiness rising.

“Forget it, let’s not think about it. I’ll go back and catch up on my sleep. I’ll talk about the rest when I’m full.”

Yu Niaoniao staggered back to bed, pulled the blanket over her, and continued to sleep.

When she woke up again, the sky was already bright outside the window.

She jumped out of bed and stretched.

It felt good to sleep well!

She remembered the bookmarks and suspected that she was hallucinating. She immediately ran to the desk and realized that the bookmarks were still there.

They had been made.

Nothing was an illusion.

This was really strange!

Yu Niaoniao dressed, washed up, and walked towards the dining room.

She was still thinking about the bookmarks as she walked.

Since there was no evidence, she would use the elimination method.

Not many people in the entire Langjun Imperial Palace knew that she was going to make the bookmarks, let alone sneak into the study in the middle of the night to secretly make them.

A tall figure quickly appeared in Yu Niaoniao’s mind and she muttered.

“Don’t tell me it’s Duke Lang?”

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it might be him!

He was definitely the “Miss Conch” who had sneaked into the study to help her!

She stepped into the dining hall and saw Xiao Juan sitting at the table eating porridge. She immediately ran over and asked.

“Did you help me finish those bookmarks last night?”

Xiao Juan replied coldly, “No.”

Yu Niaoniao looked at him skeptically. “Really?”

Xiao Juan said, “I don’t have to lie to you.”

At this moment, Granny Xiu Yan walked in with a set of clothes and asked. “Your Highness, do you want to wash these clothes?”

Xiao Juan only glanced at the clothes before quickly looking away and replying indifferently.

“Yeah.’

Yu Niaoniao took the opportunity to look at the clothes in Granny Xiu Yan’s arms. Her sharp eyes noticed the white marks on the sleeves.

Granny Xiu Yan was about to leave with her clothes when she was stopped by Yu Niaoniao.

“Wait a minute.”

She leaned over to take a closer look at the white marks on the sleeve and realized that they were paste stains.

Granny Xiu Yan did not understand her actions, so she took the initiative to explain.

“His Highness only changed into these clothes last night, but this morning, His Highness placed them on the cabinet beside the bed.

I don’t know if I should wash them, so I can only ask His Highness.”

Yu Niaoniao grabbed the sleeve and turned to look at the man sitting at the table.

“Where did the paste on your sleeve come from?”

Xiao Juan lied without changing his expression. “I’m not sure. Maybe I accidentally rubbed it somewhere.”

Yu Niaoniao was not so easy to fool.

“No one in the house used paste last night. Only I used paste when I made the bookmarks. Your sleeve must have been accidentally stained when you made the bookmarks, right?”

Xiao Juan did not say anything.

Last night, the lights in the study were not lit and he could only see under the moonlight. The moonlight was hazy and he could not see clearly. In addition, it was his first time making a bookmark, so it was inevitable that he made some mistakes and accidentally touched some paste.

He thought he would be fine after changing out of his clothes.

Unexpectedly, Granny Xiu Yan ran over with the clothes and was bumped into by Niaoniao.

Xiao Juan was actually very embarrassed that his lie had been exposed.

However, he still maintained an expressionless face and looked very cold.

Yu Niaoniao waved at Granny Xiu Yan, indicating that she could leave.

Xiao Juan finished the porridge in his bowl in two or three mouthfuls and stood up to leave.

Yu Niaoniao stretched out her leg and placed her hands on her hips, blocking Xiao Juan.

“Why are you running?

Xiao Juan said coldly, “It’s getting late. I have to go to the Justice Department.” Yu Niaoniao was no longer intimidated by his cold face.

Because she knew that the man in front of her was stubborn but soft-hearted.

He pretended to be polite and distant as he pushed her away again and again. He looked completely emotionless towards her, but he would sneak into the study after she fell asleep to help her finish what she had not done. Yu Niaoniao said firmly, “You made the bookmarks!”

Xiao Juan tilted his head slightly and deliberately looked away from her.

“If you say so.”

Yu Niaoniao took a step forward. “Why did you secretly help me make the bookmarks?”

She deliberately emphasized the word “secretly”.

Her sudden approach made Xiao Juan nervous.

He had to take a step back.

“No reason.”

Yu Niaoniao took another step forward. “Why don’t you dare to look at me?”

Xiao Juan retreated again. “No, you’re thinking too much.”

Yu Niaoniao continued to approach. “Then look at me when you speak?”

Xiao Juan continued to retreat. His back pressed against the back of the chair.

He could no longer retreat..
