Chapter 190: Another confession

The more Le Yao Yao thought about it, the more distressed she felt. She couldn’t help but crinkle her brows and her hands were restless.

Suddenly, something leaped into her room from outside the window. Before she could react, a figure was in front of her.

Since it was already midnight, none of the candles were lit. Everywhere was pitch black aside from the pale moonlight spilling in from outside.

So, naturally, Le Yao Yao had no idea who had entered her room. Just as she was about to scream for help, a familiar voice spoke up.

“It’s me.”

“Eh….?”

Le Yao Yao recognized Nangong Jun Xi’s voice and decided not to scream. However, her brows were knitted and she couldn’t help but jab a few harsh words at him. “It’s already so late. Who would’ve thought that the 7th Prince has a fetish of entering others’ room at night?”

Initially, she thought Nangong Jun Xi would argue back like he usually would. Unexpectedly, he was acting very oddly today.

After hearing her words, he didn’t reply. He sat down next to her without a sound.

His face was completely hidden by the darkness. But although Le Yao Yao couldn’t see his expression, she could sense his eyes were on her face.

Why the heck was he staring at her without saying anything?

Seeing this, Le Yao Yao was bewildered.

“What’s wrong with you? Did you eat the wrong medicine today?”

Don’t blame her for her poisonous tongue. She always treated people based on how they treated her. It was one of her specialities.

Could it be that he couldn’t fall asleep at night, so he specifically went to pay her a visit?

Although she also thinks she’s quite attractive, he should at least light a candle if he wants to admire her face… !?

While Le Yao Yao was feeling speechless and trying to figure out what else to say, Nangong Jun Xi finally said something.

“Do you like senior brother?!”

“Ah!?”

Le Yao Yao was shocked by Nangong Jun Xi’s sudden outburst. She froze for a few seconds.

“What do you mean?”

“The literal meaning. Tell me. Have you fallen for senior brother?”

“You saw what happened today?”

“Mm.”

Today, he witnessed everything that happened in the front courtyard. Originally, he was bored and decided to go to Ya Feng Ge. He had heard a new batch of peonies have arrived. Surprisingly, he came across Nian Sulan bribing Le Yao Yao. Then, his senior brother showed up and commanded his guards to take Nian Sulan away.

Just as he was about to reveal himself, he saw something that wouldn’t allow him to take another step forward…

Senior brother kissed “him”!!

Nangong Jun Xi couldn’t believe his eyes.

But regardless of whether he wanted to believe it or not, that was what happened.

Also, “he” seemed so intoxicated by senior brother’s kiss. Le Yao Yao’s face was red and his pupils seemed hazy. He was so attracted to senior brother…

Furthermore, senior brother confessed to him!

All along, Nangong Jun Xi knew senior brother treated this little guy differently. But he never thought that senior brother would directly confess.

Although he did not give Leng Jun Yu a reply, based on how accepting he was towards his senior brother’s kiss, Le Yao Yao must somewhat like his senior brother.

But if “he” likes senior brother, what about him?

What’s he going to do?

Thinking of this, Nangong Jun Xi couldn’t sleep the entire night. In the end, he couldn’t suppress his emotions anymore and leaped out of his window and flipped over walls to barge into his room. He wanted an answer.

“Why do I have to tell you? This is private matters. Even if you’re the 7th Prince, you don’t have the authority to get others to tell you their private thoughts!”

The room became eerily silent again.

“Yeah…true. I know it’s none of my business and I have no rights to demand anything from you…. But…”

Suddenly, Nangong Jun Xi gritted his teeth and hissed, “Who told me to fall in love with you?!”

“What!?!”

Le Yao Yao felt as if a lightning bolt had struck her and split her in two. Her mind was blank.

Oh God! Was he joking?

He said he likes her?

“You…you’re joking, right? Haha. This joke is not funny at all….”

Honestly, Le Yao Yao had no idea that Nangong Jun Xi would confess to her.

After all, from the first time they’ve met, they were like mortal enemies. Everyday, they would argue or insult each other. If not, it wouldn’t seem normal.

Could it be that heterosexual relationships weren’t common anymore? People preferred to be homo?

Or was he just nuts?

“But I’m a eunuch…”

Le Yao Yao thought by saying this, Nangong Jun Xi would back off. Unexpectedly, Nangong Jun Xi paused momentarily and then declared, “If senior brother doesn’t mind, why should I mind? Plus, I like you for who you are. I don’t care if you’re a man or a woman!”

“……didn’t you hate me before? How could you suddenly like me? You must be playing a joke on me! I knew it!”

Le Yao Yao sounded furious. But Nangong Jun Xi barked, “Does this Prince look like the type that would joke about something like this?”

Nangong Jun Xi sounded like a hurt beast. It was quite painful to hear. Le Yao Yao didn’t know how to respond.

Should she reject him directly? Would it be too cruel if she told him she didn’t like him in his face?

But in the past, that was how she had always rejected other guys. This time was just like all the other rejections, right?

Nangong Jun Xi seemed to sense something was wrong from the silence. Before she could react, a pair of soft lips were on her lips….

“Eh…!”

Le Yao Yao felt her mind turning blank for a second. But she quickly reacted. Her hand seemed to have a mind of its own as it brutally slapped Nangong Jun Xi across the face.

*pa* The sound was very loud and clear. It was a very powerful slap.

Nangong Jun Xi quickly backed off and separated from Le Yao Yao.

He could feel his cheek burning. Nangong Jun Xi couldn’t help but move his tongue from inside his mouth to lessen the burn. He had a bitter smile on his face.

“When senior brother kissed you, you were intoxicated. But when I kissed you, you were disgusted.”

The disappointment in Nangong Jun Xi’s voice was very apparent. This was the first time Nangong Jun Xi spoke to her in this type of tone. She was not used to it.

When it came to dealing with his arrogant people, Le Yao Yao had many methods. But when it came to dealing with guys who seemed like they were going to cry, she was hopeless.

Her hand was still tingling from the slap. Le Yao Yao began to feel bad.

If her hand was hurting this much, then the victim must be in more pain?

She honestly didn’t mean to slap him so hard. She was just caught off guard and acted without thinking.

“You….”

Le Yao Yao wanted to say something to comfort him. But before she could say another word, there was a crisp knock at her door. It was very clear during this silent night.

Both Le Yao Yao and Nangong Jun Xi froze. After all, this was in the middle of the night. Who would be knocking at this hour?

Suddenly, a deep raspy voice echoed through the carved wooden doors.

“Are you asleep?”

It was the King of Hell!
