Chapter 41 Li Du: I'll take you away

Are you busy? Sorry to bother you.

Liu Jiao lowered her head, her expression unreadable, and only apologized.

Sang Ji gave a soft "hmm," which was taken as an admission.

He lowered his head and asked, "Do you have something to say? Why don't you come in and wait a while?"

"This doesn't seem very convenient," Crescent Fox said slowly as she approached, offering her advice and refusing.

Sang Ji wanted to say something more.

"Okay, okay, don't worry about me." Liu Jiao gave another hasty bow, interrupting Sang Ji.

She said, "I'm leaving now, you guys keep talking."

Crescent Fox hummed in agreement.

Liu Jiao was kicked out.

A barrier that naturally formed between them suffocated her.

After the door closed, Liu Jiao was left standing there, feeling embarrassed and awkward.

In fact, Liu Jiao could tell that the two were talking about business.

But she felt uneasy.

Why were only the two of them talking alone?

Are they really that close?

Previously, Liu Jiao never believed anyone who told her how close Sang Ji and the princess were.

But today, it lingers in her mind.

Some doubts even arose in their hearts.

The two of them really...

Was Sang Ji's relationship with the princess truly just one of responsibility?

The thought had barely crossed her mind when Liu Jiao shook her head violently!

You shouldn't think like that.

He said it, he said it when we first met.

His feelings for Princess Crescent Fox were merely a sense of duty.

Li Du, Wangyoujun, Jiang Jiang (whom they met at a previous banquet), and Liu Jiao gathered together on the Qixi Festival.

Li Du was perceptive and familiar with Liu Jiao. He noticed that Liu Jiao kept her head down, looking listless and clearly distressed.

He leaned closer, holding a golden goblet in his hand, "Want a drink?"

Liu Jiao shook her head.

Li Du: "Just tell me directly, don't keep it to yourself."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jiao felt a bitter grievance welling up inside her, unable to swallow it down, and told Li Du about what had happened during the day.

Finally, Liu Jiao swallowed a mouthful of fruit wine and choked up, saying, "Brother, I'm a little confused."

Li Du had never seen Liu Jiao, who was usually so carefree, like this before.

She once bumped her head on the corner of a table, tears streaming down her face. He would wipe them away haphazardly, and she would just laugh it off.

Her face was flushed from drunkenness.

Like a mountain peach blossom.

Li Du suddenly said, "Come with me."
