Chapter 290 Overestimating One's Abilities



Xiao Moyan walked to the door and kicked it open with one foot. The loud bang startled Ji Xingzhi. "Shh! What's going on? Why has the emperor's uncle suddenly become so domineering?!" After entering the main door, Xiao Moyan carried Ji Xingzhi into the main hall, then into the inner hall, and then into a bedroom. He walked around a screen and placed Ji Xingzhi on a large plain bed. Ji Xingzhi sat on the bed, not daring to touch the ground with her feet. She looked at Xiao Moyan in surprise as he squatted down and took off her shoes for her. Seeing this, Ji Xingzhi subconsciously retracted her feet and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Um, emperor's uncle, I, my feet stink." Hearing this, Xiao Moyan paused. Under Ji Xingzhi's gaze, he stretched out his slender hands to Ji Xingzhi and untied Ji Xingzhi's hair before Ji Xingzhi could react. In an instant, her beautiful hair spread out. Xiao Moyan frowned slightly and looked at Ji Xingzhi, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "Imperial uncle, what's wrong?" Why was he untying her hair for no reason? Ji Xingzhi looked at Xiao Moyan in confusion. Xiao Moyan came back to his senses and did not answer Ji Xingzhi. Instead, he unfolded Ji Xingzhi's hairband from the middle, and immediately turned it into a cloth towel that was tightened on both sides. Ji Xingzhi was puzzled, but saw Xiao Moyan slowly put the hairband on his face as a scarf, covering his mouth and nose, without even looking at Ji Xingzhi, and reached out to take off Ji Xingzhi's shoes. Looking at Xiao Moyan's indifferent expression, Ji Xingzhi's mouth twitched slightly, and a few black lines appeared on his forehead. Hey! Uncle, you're going too far... Xiao Moyan took off Ji Xingzhi's shoes and socks without changing his expression. Even though he covered his mouth and nose, a strange smell still rushed into his nose. Ji Xingzhi felt it was a bit smelly, but Xiao Moyan didn't even frown. Xiao Moyan's eyes fixed on Ji Xingzhi's fair feet. When his eyes touched Ji Xingzhi's ankle, which was already obviously red and swollen, his brows tightened slightly: "You can't protect yourself, but you still remember to be a hero and save the beauty." Then, he stretched out his hand to rub Ji Xingzhi's feet, and his gentleness was intoxicating. Ji Xingzhi just laughed and said nonchalantly: "Wang Qianqian is the apple of your eye, so I naturally can't let Wang Qianqian get into trouble because of me." As soon as the voice fell, Ji Xingzhi felt a pain in her foot. She couldn't help but take a breath, frowned and said: "It hurts!" "I thought you didn't know it hurts." Xiao Moyan said lightly without raising his head. Upon hearing this, Ji Xingzhi's face flickered with a smirk. "Uncle, are you angry? Angry because I'm injured?" Xiao Moyan paused briefly, then pulled a bottle of ointment from his sleeve and carefully applied it to the sprained area. He said coldly, "Because you overestimate your abilities." Ji Xingzhi, despite hearing Xiao Moyan's seemingly derogatory words, was delighted, grinning cheekily at him. Suddenly, as if remembering something, Ji Xingzhi dropped her smile and asked, puzzled, "Uncle, why did you show up right after this happened? Or have you been nearby the whole time?" Xiao Moyan applied the ointment to Ji Xingzhi and put it back into his sleeve. He then pulled out a strip of gauze and said indifferently, "Just a coincidence." A coincidence? Ji Xingzhi raised an eyebrow, remaining noncommittal. Xiao Moyan didn't care whether Ji Xingzhi believed it or not. He just helped Ji Xingzhi wrap the gauze and put on shoes and socks for Ji Xingzhi. After doing all this, he took off the headband that served as a veil covering her mouth and nose, and stood up to sit next to Ji Xingzhi.
