Chapter 367: Subjugating Pei Lang (2)

"Nonsense!" Pei Lang squeezed out the two words from between his teeth, remembering his master's identity.

Shen Miao smiled slightly, her eyes curved like crescent moons, her breath almost as fragrant as orchids. She said, "But I chose Miss Liuying's card."

As soon as these words came out, Pei Lang's body froze.

Shen Miao put away her folding fan and looked at him with a smile: "I see Mr. Pei has been here for a long time, looking at the Liuying cottage. Is he also full of longing for Miss Liuying?"

Pei Lang stared at Shen Miao, his calm expression suddenly turning a little fierce.

Shen Miao remained unmoved, still smiling heartily, and pointed to the Happy Building on the side: "Since Mr. Pei is also very interested in Miss Liuying, why don't you come in with me to have a glass of wine and chat about beauties." Her behavior was clearly a bit frivolous, but there was also an irresistible majesty. She folded her fan horizontally in front of her chest and went upstairs on her own, saying from a distance: "Good wine and chatting about beauties, that is the most joyful thing in the world."

Although Jingzhe Guyu, Mo Qing and the other two did not understand what Shen Miao meant, they never objected to the decision Shen Miao made and immediately followed in.

Pei Lang stood there alone, pausing for a moment before he made up his mind and followed in.

Upstairs, by the window, Ji Yushu suddenly jumped up. "See! I told you Miss Chen was obsessed with Pei Lang. She went through so much trouble to order Miss Liuying's sign, all just to talk to Pei Lang today!"

Gao Yang ignored him and just speculated secretly: "Just now she covered her face with a fan, what on earth was she saying to Pei Lang?" Gao Yang shook his head: "She covered it with a fan, could it be that she knew you could lip read?" As he said this, Gao Yang looked at Xie Jingxing.

Xie Jingxing shrugged, indicating that he had no comment.

"Come to think of it, Miss Shen's fanning gesture just now was truly charming and dashing, even more outstanding than me." Ji Yushu sighed, "How could such a beautiful lady fall for a poor scholar? Even if she follows me, it's better than that pretty boy who can't even afford to visit a brothel."

Xie Jingxing stood up, and Ji Yushu asked, "Where are you going?"

"Of course I'll listen to what they say." Xie Jingxing smiled meaningfully, "I want to see what kind of chess piece Pei Lang is."

In the elegant room of Happy Tower, Mo Qing was guarding the door, Jingzhe and Guyu were standing on both sides, both with their heads lowered, as if they didn't exist.

At the table, Shen Miao was pouring wine.

The wine was from Shandong, amber in color, with a delicate fragrance. It wasn't intoxicating, and as long as one had a moderate alcohol tolerance, a small amount would be fine.

Shen Miao poured two cups of wine. Her posture of pouring wine was very graceful. Her fingers grasped the handle of the wine pot, and the crystal clear wine poured into the small jade cup. The sound was also very pleasant.

Pei Lang watched helplessly as Shen Miao pushed a cup of wine in front of him and said with a smile, "Sir, please enjoy."

“Chen Miao,” Pei Lang called her by her name, his expression never softening since he came in. He asked, “What exactly do you want to do?”

“Mr. Pei is so impatient that he is talking about beauties without even mentioning fine wine. Isn’t that a bit like a cow chewing on a peony?” Shen Miao looked at him leisurely.

Pei Lang was stunned by her words. He had been in Guangwen Hall for several years, and everyone he met was always respectful to him. Even the most mischievous students would not speak to him in such a frivolous tone. If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but it had to be Shen Miao. Pei Lang always felt that Shen Miao was not a frivolous person, but speaking like this made him feel a little unsure of her true nature.

Seeing Pei Lang hesitate to speak, Shen Miao laughed softly. She said, "I was just joking with Mr. Pei. Why is Mr. Pei so nervous?"
