Chapter 84: You have so much powder on your face
Liang Jingyao smiled secretly. Yue'er was afraid that he would take advantage of her. In fact, he just wanted to protect her better!
"Yue'er, don't be upset. This is a special period. What if someone breaks into your room at night and attacks you? If I were by your side, I would have taken action immediately. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I would be able to show up in time!"
Lin Xiaoyue knew that what Liang Jingyao said made sense. If they wanted to make a noise without arousing suspicion, pretending to be a couple was the best option!
that is……
Lin Xiaoyue said solemnly with a stern face, "Let me make it clear first, we're just pretending. You must put two quilts on the bed, and a bowl of water in the middle. If the water spills, it means you have bad intentions, and I will leave Yangming Town immediately!"
Liang Jingyao scratched Lin Xiaoyue's nose in amusement and agreed, "Don't worry, you are the woman I value, and our marriage certainly can't be hastily concluded! Without three matchmakers and six betrothals, ten miles of streets, and a phoenix crown and red robe, I will not do anything irresponsible to you."
Lin Xiaoyue's cheeks flushed, and she pursed her lips and hummed, "I haven't promised you yet!"
Liang Jingyao laughed, looked at Yao Jinheng and said, "Just stay at the Yuanheng Inn. Go and book a top-notch room!"
Yao Jinheng was sweating profusely. Prince Jingnan had previously come to Linglong Pavilion to provoke the Dong family, and to avoid the spotlight, he had stayed with the Dong family for a while. But he hadn't expected that the iron tree, even after a thousand years, would blossom. The Dong family had already found a lover and was so busy flirting with him that he had completely forgotten that there was someone in the carriage waiting for his orders!
Before Liang Jingyao could finish his words, Yao Jinheng quickly responded, "Yes, I'll do it right away!" Then he ran away. If he stayed in the carriage any longer, he was afraid that his boss would throw him out.
The carriage continued to move forward. Liang Jingyao took out a mask from his arms. It was as thin as a cicada's wing and resembled human skin. "There's no mirror here. I'll put it on for you. We're about to enter Yangming Town. There might be people stopping us at the city gate for inspection."
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and turned to face Liang Jingyao, "Thank you, Brother Liang!"
Liang Jingyao knocked her head and said, "Don't say thank you anymore. Everything I do for you is my own free will!"
Lin Xiaoyue felt that Liang Jingyao was getting closer and closer. She didn't know whether to be shy or nervous. From childhood to adulthood, before or after the time travel, no man had ever been so close to her!
However, Liang Jingyao's eyelashes are very long, like a small fan hanging on his eyelids. His nose bridge stands upright in the middle, making his facial features look three-dimensional. His eyes are very big, black like obsidian, bright and very attractive!
Ah, I can’t stare at you like that anymore!
Lin Xiaoyue quickly lowered her head and covered her heart, which was beating rapidly, with one hand.
Because Lin Xiaoyue suddenly stood up and lowered her head, Liang Jingyao's nails scratched Lin Xiaoyue's face, leaving a little powder in the cracks of his nails. "What is this? Yue'er, what did you put on your face?"
Lin Xiaoyue covered her face in fear and secretly glanced at the powder between Liang Jingyao's fingernails. She patted her face with her hands, hoping to smooth out the powder that had been scraped off. "Oh, I thought it was something else. Don't girls all wear makeup? Brother Liang, you're scaring me to death!"
Liang Jingyao didn't know much about women's things. He reached out to touch Lin Xiaoyue's face again, but was stopped in mid-air by Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue asked nervously, "Brother Liang, what are you going to do? Men and women shouldn't touch each other, don't touch me!"
Liang Jingyao then realized he had overstepped the bounds and quickly withdrew his hand, saying sheepishly, "I'm sorry, I was just curious about the powder on your face. You can't usually see it, but I just scraped off quite a lot with my fingernails. Yue'er, you're actually not ugly, so you don't need to apply so much powder every day. What if the powder ruins your face? Besides, now that there's less powder on your face, your face looks a little whiter."
Lin Xiaoyue laughed dryly and covered her face with her hands. "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Brother Liang! I just like to wipe it off. I'm just used to it."
Liang Jingyao nodded. "If Yue'er likes it, I'll buy you the best rouge in the capital next time. That hateful Prince Jingnan attacked me this time. I said I'd give you jewelry, but I haven't bought it yet! I was planning to wait until Emperor Liang dealt with Prince Jingnan before taking you to Linglong Pavilion to choose jewelry. I didn't expect the disgraced Jingyi to rise again and become a princess. I wonder if Emperor Liang will let Prince Jingnan go back and restore his title?"
Lin Xiaoyue felt so angry when she thought of Emperor Liang's outrageous actions. For example, as a concubine, she would at most be banished to the cold palace. Who would be sent to exile? Only Emperor Liang would come up with such a plan!
But who made him the king of a country?
In this era, the emperor's orders are the greatest will.
"The princess should have informed you of this, right? Once Jingyi and Prince Jingnan regain their freedom, the first people they'll seek revenge on will be Juewei Tower and Linglong Pavilion. You need to come up with a plan!"
Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "I've thought about this. The Jueweilou and Linglongge restaurants in the capital are temporarily closed. Yangming Town is not in the capital, so if we open a branch here, it will be easy for Prince Jingnan and Jingyi to deal with us. But there is another advantage, which is that it can distract their attention in the capital, which is beneficial to the princess!"
Lin Xiaoyue thought it made sense, but she also offered her own opinion, "Brother Liang, if the store is closed for too long, it's easy to lose customers. I think Jueweilou and Linglongge can do private customization business. They just need to close the store, and the two shopkeepers can go to regular customers privately to promote our products or ask about their needs. We can then use this to customize meals and jewelry."
"We also need to improve Jueweilou's service. For example, if a guest orders a table for a date, we can provide them with the most romantic dining venue in Beijing. If they want to host a dinner at home, we can help them decorate their home. If they want to enjoy the meal while traveling, we can deliver the food anytime, anywhere without compromising the quality..."
Liang Jingyao really admires Lin Xiaoyue for always being able to come up with unique ideas, and she always surprises him!
"Yue'er, I'm really curious about what's going on in your little head. This is a great idea, and it's very likely that we will make more money than usual! I'm really grateful to God for bringing you to me! Yue'er, you are my lucky star!"
Lin Xiaoyue felt like she was about to fly off the handle of Liang Jingyao's praise. She covered her mouth and giggled non-stop, "This is also due to the reputation of Jueweilou and Linglongge. As long as we can make a name for ourselves in the capital, we can promote it to other places! But, if Brother Liang makes a lot of money, don't forget to give me some."
Liang Jingyao rubbed her head lovingly, "Don't even think about giving you a little bit, even if you want it all, I won't hesitate!"
Passing the Shili Pavilion outside Yangming Town, just as Liang Jingyao and Lin Xiaoyue were chatting and laughing, Yao Jinheng suddenly reined in the carriage, his pupils flashing with murderous intent. Shouts of killing could be heard from the road ahead...
