Chapter 476 Apologize in Person
"There are no outsiders here, Owen, go get another set of bowls and chopsticks, sit down and eat with us!" Li Yaofeng also spoke in a light tone at this time.
Upon hearing this, Owen did not refuse. He nodded and agreed with a smile. He asked someone to bring new dishes and chopsticks, and sat down at the dining table.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the restaurant was very quiet. Only the occasional sounds of Li Jinxing and Nie Yao picking up food, or Nie Yao praising the taste of a certain dish...
After an unknown amount of time, Li Yaofeng slowly spoke, "How did you two meet?"
"It was in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt..." Nie Yao answered with a smile, but Li Jinxing coughed softly, interrupting Nie Yao's answer. He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "It was just a coincidence. She helped me, and I happened to run into her when I was doing something later, so I decided to return the favor..."
Seeing Li Jinxing talking nonsense with his eyes open, Nie Yao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in confusion.
So Li Jinxing didn't want to mention the fact that Emperor Gu was seriously injured. Was it because he didn't want his elder brother to worry?
But Li Yaofeng was not so easily fooled. He asked in a deep voice, "Jinxing, if you won't tell me the truth, let Nie Yao speak!"
He said this, looking at Nie Yao across from him, and asked coldly, "How did you two know each other? You said at the time that he was seriously injured in the Emperor's Valley. What happened?"
Nie Yao sighed softly. Not wanting to keep this a secret from Li Jinxing's brother any longer, she answered honestly, "We first met in the Valley of the Kings. The wind and sand were very strong at the time. My junior and I were working on an archaeological excavation together when we saw Li Jinxing, who was nearly buried in the sand! He'd been shot in the abdomen, bleeding profusely, and was unconscious. We were the ones who brought him back to camp..."
Li Yaofeng frowned and looked at Li Jinxing gravely, his voice a little lower than before: "Jinxing, why didn't you tell me such a big thing?"
"It's not a big deal. Yaoyao saved me and my wounds are recovering well..." Li Jinxing answered vaguely.
Li Yaofeng already knew his temper and didn't want to condemn him in front of Nie Yao. He looked at Nie Yao and said earnestly, "So it was Miss Nie who saved my brother's life. I have no way to repay this great favor. I hope Miss Nie won't take what I said before to heart!"
He said this and ordered the butler Owen: "Owen, bring the bottle of good wine hidden at home. I want to apologize to Miss Nie in person!"
"Yes!" Owen quickly stood up and went to the cellar to get his treasured wine. Nie Yao waved her hand and replied jokingly, "No need to apologize to me. I don't care about what you said. Besides, I saved Li Jinxing, and he helped me a lot. We've already settled the account..."
Li Yaofeng shook his head and said stubbornly, "No, the favor of saving my life cannot be written off just by doing a few favors. Miss Nie, please accept my apology!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Owen came over with a bottle of good wine and a glass.
Li Yaofeng poured a full cup, held it up and said to Nie Yao, "Miss Nie, I'll drink three cups as punishment!"
Nie Yao stared at him with wide eyes as he raised his head and drank such a strong glass of wine in one gulp. She could only shake her head helplessly.
Li Jinxing frowned slightly upon seeing this and tried to dissuade him, "Brother, you're not in good health. The doctor has told you to drink less. You don't have to apologize. Yaoyao doesn't blame you..."
