Chapter 145: Let’s Pretend Nothing Happened Last Night

Qingshu, who was sitting on the shaft of the carriage, his eyes lit up when he heard that his master was going to Wanhe Tower.

He turned his head excitedly and looked inside the carriage.

"Master, I just heard that the girl's mouth was gnawed by a pig. You're here at the right time today. I'll have to ask her later. How could she be gnawed by a pig? Where did the pig come from? Who in the capital raises pigs?"

He speaks too fast.

It was so fast that it was too late for Qingxuan to stop it.

He looked worriedly at the carriage covered by the curtain. Sure enough, it was eerily quiet inside, without a trace of movement.

Qingshu still looked puzzled.

He quietly approached Qingxuan and said, "Master seems to be in a bad mood."

“…Just shut up!”

-----

Jiang Yueyao was in a very bad mood all day today.

But in front of guests, she was still the same as usual, smiling, welcoming and seeing off guests, and busy as a whirlwind.

In the evening, Shen Baoqing came.

Jiang Yueyao hurriedly took her hand and sat behind the counter: "I heard something happened in Mobei."

"Yeah." Shen Baoqing acted quite calmly, "It's nothing serious. My father has been guarding Mobei for many years. He has overcome any difficult situation. Don't worry."

"Besides, the Emperor has already sent reinforcements. I believe we'll hear news of victory soon."

Hearing her say this, Jiang Yueyao felt relieved.

Shen Baoqing was invited to have dinner, and after dinner, the other party did not stay long and went home.

Jiang Yueyao was busy for a while and felt a little tired, so she sat down behind the counter.

At this time, it was almost three quarters past midnight, and most of the customers in the store had left. She rested for a while and felt a little hungry. She was about to go to the kitchen to find something to eat when a figure came down from above her head.

Jiang Yueyao thought it was a guest and was about to raise the corners of her lips to smile, but when she saw the other person's face clearly, her smile froze instantly.

She withdrew her gaze, turned her head away, and ignored him.

Lu Sui stood straight in front of the counter with his hands behind his back, watching her expression change in a second, and his gloomy mood of the day instantly improved.

"I have been in the palace since last night. It's not that I didn't come to see you on purpose."

He has a deep, magnetic voice that is unique to mature men and is very pleasant to the ear.

But to Jiang Yueyao, it didn't sound like that.

When she thought about how he pressed her down on the bed and did whatever he wanted to her last night... Jiang Yueyao hated him to death.

Lu Sui waited for a moment, and seeing that she still ignored him, he walked straight to the counter, reached out and grabbed her arm, and pulled her to the backyard.

Jiang Yueyao struggled subconsciously: "Let me go!"

Lu Sui pulled the person to his side, leaned over, and lowered his voice.

"Be good and don't make me kiss you here!"

Jiang Yueyao suddenly opened her eyes wide, a look of disbelief on her face.

Lu Sui seemed very satisfied with her reaction and pulled them back to the backyard. When the two figures disappeared in the lobby, Qing Shu, who was standing beside them, was stunned and it took him a long time to react.

He grabbed Qingxuan who was about to follow him to the backyard.

"Did something happen between the master and the girl that I don't know about?"

Qing Xuan sneered: "What if I say that the lady's mouth corner was bitten by the master?"

“…”

This sentence contains so much, but the first thought in Qingshu’s mind...it’s over, he’s finished!

What did he say in the carriage just now?

Oh, yes!

He said the corner of the girl's mouth was bitten by a pig... Wuwuwu, master, please spare me, master~

…

Lu Sui pulled Jiang Yueyao into Shifang Pavilion.

After entering, he let go of her hand and sat aside.

Jiang Yueyao had been holding back her anger all along the way, but now that there was no one around, she could no longer hold it in and exploded.

"What do you want to do?"

Lu Sui raised his eyes and looked at her quietly. His narrow eyes seemed extremely deep because of his double eyelids.

He suddenly put his hand on his abdomen and frowned slightly.

"I only ate something at noon all day."

"My stomach is upset again..."

I thought he would explain what happened last night, but he started playing the victim right from the start.

If this had happened in the past, she would have been anxious and distressed, and would have wanted to rub it for him.

But now, seeing that his face changed with pain, he just sneered.

"If you feel uncomfortable, just go home. Why are you running to me?"

Seeing that she was unmoved.

Lu Sui was in so much pain that sweat broke out on his forehead.

"I want to eat the noodles cooked by Sister Lan."

The voice was weak, where was the threatening power just now?

Jiang Yueyao didn't want to pay attention to it, but then she thought, Wanhelou belongs to someone else, and she is just the shopkeeper, so how can she not give people food?

So he went to the kitchen and came back with a bowl of noodles in his hand.

When she put the noodles in front of Lu Sui, she felt that she was really a coward.

I couldn't help but glare at him. Just as I was about to leave, he grabbed my wrist again.

"Stay with me for a while!"

Jiang Yueyao took a deep breath, turned around and looked at him, deliberately speaking in a sarcastic tone.

"Master Lu, I haven't had dinner yet in order to earn money for you."

Lu Sui immediately ordered Qingxuan who was standing under the pavilion.

"Go get the girl something to eat."

Qingxuan left as soon as he said that. Jiang Yueyao didn't know whether to leave or stay. Finally, after thinking about it, she also had something to ask him, so she sat down opposite him.

Lu Sui picked up the chopsticks and ate slowly.

Qingxuan came over quickly and brought a bowl of noodles to Jiang Yueyao.

Jiang Yueyao picked up the chopsticks, and neither of them spoke, finishing the noodles quietly.

After the meal, Qingshu quickly brought tea and snacks, then pulled Qingxuan to guard under the pavilion, keeping an eye on all directions and listening carefully, for fear that others would know the little secret of their master and the girl.

In the pavilion, Lu Sui took two sips of tea before looking up at the girl sitting opposite him.

The girl still had a stern face and was still angry.

His gaze moved down to the corner of her lips.

It's still a little red, maybe because it was just dipped in tea, it's bright red and moist...

Lu Sui withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes to look at the teacup in his hand, and after a while he slowly spoke.

"Next time someone asks you how the corner of your mouth got ripped, just tell the truth. Why do you have to say it was bitten by a pig?"

Jiang Yueyao immediately grasped the key point of his words.

"Next time? You still want a next time!"

"I'm telling you, there's no way!"

Her tone was unhappy and her expression was ferocious.

But Lu Sui was neither angry nor annoyed, and even raised his thin lips in a good mood.

"Why? Yesterday, we had physical contact. Between us..."

"There's nothing between us!" Jiang Yueyao interrupted him immediately, "Don't think that kissing me will do anything. I don't care. Just think of it as being bitten by a pig..."

Lu Sui frowned when he heard this.

"You can't think of anything else besides pigs?"

"I'm happy to do whatever I want." Jiang Yueyao was very bold. "If you don't like it, don't listen to it!"

She stood up and made to leave.

But then he stopped.

"I'm warning you, I don't want more people to know what happened last night."

"Sister Lan and Aunt Chun won't tell anyone, and you..." She glanced at Qingxuan and Qingshu, and her meaning was obvious.

Her obvious attempt to distance herself from the matter and evade the situation made Lu Sui, who was originally in a very good mood, look gloomy in an instant.

He stood up and moved closer to her.

His eyes were deep and sharp.

"You mean, you're just going to pretend nothing happened last night?"
