Chapter 53 Jiaojiao, please don't be angry with me anymore...
One downside to becoming a lady of the imperial family is that you have to attend all sorts of banquets.
Today is Christmas and His Majesty's birthday.
It was the Emperor's birthday, and no one dared to fail to attend; no one could be negligent. Liu Jiao and Sang Jide attended the banquet together.
In the carriage, Liu Jiao sat on the far left, looking to the left, and did not exchange any words with Sang Jilu on her right.
They remained silent.
He disembarked from the carriage and happened to meet the princess.
Sang Ji and Xin Yuehu disembarked from the carriage at exactly the same time.
Head to head, face to face, making eye contact.
Liu Jiao, who arrived shortly after, also witnessed this scene after disembarking from the carriage.
However, she stood far away, behind Sang Ji.
In front of the two of them, he seemed like an outsider, like a bystander who had accidentally wandered in to watch the excitement.
Liu Jiao twitched the corners of her mouth, suddenly realizing that life is like a play.
She sighed for a moment, then she and Sui Sui bypassed Sang Ji and the princess, and went to the banquet alone.
This gave Sang Ji and the princess some space to be alone together.
He didn't question her like he used to, nor did he cause trouble for Sang Ji.
Watching her retreating figure, Sang Ji frowned.
She took her seat first.
A moment later, Sang Ji arrived.
According to the rules, her seat was close to Sang Ji's, shoulder to shoulder.
But noticing the princess looking in their direction, Liu Jiao wisely moved forward, avoiding sitting next to her.
This is to avoid suspicion.
The princess's gaze disappeared.
Sang Ji leaned closer, their shoulders touching again.
Liu Jiao thought he had bumped into her accidentally, so she moved back a little.
The fragrance of flowers and plants enveloped her in the quiet mulberry grove.
Liu Jiao didn't want to be close to him.
Whether it's because of the princess or for her own sake.
She tried to keep pushing him away and not stay with him.
After a long struggle—
Sang Ji finally calmed down and stopped sticking to her.
Without that powerful threatening pressure,
Liu Jiao finally let out a breath.
Suddenly, she felt a force gripping her hand tightly.
Then, a pair of large hands touched her waist, and strong arms pulled her tightly into the man's arms.
She was forced to stand up.
He was half-forced away from the banquet hall by the unusually strong young man in black.
The carriage swayed and rocked.
They traveled all the way to the mansion.
Sang Ji remained silent the entire way, gazing into the distance, though he struggled to breathe.
He carried her and led her to his study.
Only when they reached the desk did he release her wrist and waist.
I got some air.
Sang Ji forced her back onto the black wooden chair and wrapped his arms around her.
His hands gripped the handrail tightly, but his expression remained unchanged as he looked down.
For the first time, he wasn't awkward and took the initiative to ask her, "What are you angry about? Tell me."
The voice was suppressed and kept calm.
Then, Sang Ji took a deep breath and, more seriously than ever before, spoke to her, enunciating each word clearly:
"If you tell me today, I will forgive and forget everything I have done."
The voice was gentle and soothing.
When he said he would forgive and forget, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
He looked at her intently, with a subtle, almost imperceptible hint of grievance.
"Don't be angry with me anymore, okay?"
Liu Jiao's eyes flickered slightly.
He blinked rapidly.
But in the end, I just looked away.
“We’re friends,” she reminded us. “There’s no question of whether I’m angry or not.”
She remained calm.
