The girl's long eyelashes blinked, and mist filled her eyes.
"..." Jiang Cong: "Again...again..."
Jiang Cong was speechless as his brain didn't think about this at all. He let go of his hand in a panic.
The bright-faced girl immediately took a few steps back like a frightened rabbit.
【？ 】
[What is Jiang Cong up to next? ]
[You don't really want to dig out my eyes, do you? Are Shi Wuqing's eyes really that tempting? ]
Jiang Cong subconsciously softened his voice: "Are you okay?"
Shi Wuqing unconsciously glanced at the dagger in his hand.
The dagger immediately became a hot potato. Jiang Cong dropped it without hesitation, "The guard forced it on me."
“?” The guards who took the blame.
Jiang Cong stared at the girl in front of him without blinking. "Life is too boring, so I like to play some harmless little jokes. I'm sorry if I scared you. Actually, I never hurt anyone on weekdays."
“???” Guards.
Master, what are you talking about?
You've been here for less than half a day, and you've already killed more than ten people, right?
Ladies: “…”
Do you think we believe it?
“?” Shi Wuqing.
Her vision was obscured by tears, and she blinked slowly, letting the tears fall so that she could see more clearly.
But this drop of eyes seemed to scare Jiang Cong. He opened his mouth in confusion, wanting to say something, but nothing came out. He froze for a moment, then glared at the guard beside him: "Put away all your knives! Get out!"
"...Yes." The guards were confused, but the obedience that had been ingrained in their bones for a long time made them react the fastest.
The two guards put away their knives, and at the same time, they picked up the dagger that Jiang Cong had thrown down and took it out of the restaurant.
Inside the restaurant, the atmosphere was eerie. Everyone was staring at it in amazement, not understanding what this big shot from the imperial city was up to.
Readers are full of questions:
What did he say just now?
[Huh? You like to make harmless jokes and never hurt anyone? Do you believe that?]
[No, what does Jiang Cong mean? ]
【………………】
[I hope it’s not what I meant (smile) Stupid! ]
"My name is Jiang Cong. Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you." Jiang Cong didn't want to scare anyone, so he didn't get close. He stood still, his back straight, and deliberately brought out the noble aura that only aristocrats could have. "What about you?"
“…” The fog cleared.
So if I remember correctly, the other party had just read out her name.
But Shi Wuqing still replied in a low voice: "Shi Wuqing, my name is Shi Wuqing."
"Then can I call you Qingqing?" The young man curled his lips: "You can also call me Congcong."
“…”Thank you for the invitation!
I don't want to be called such a scary name at all!
The other person's gaze was too direct and explicit. Shi Wuqing lowered her eyes uncomfortably. She was still thinking about how to answer when Jiang Cong said to himself:
"Qingqing, do you agree?"
“…No!” In this era, it is impossible for a woman to agree to be called by such an intimate name by a man whom she meets for the first time!
"Okay." Jiang Cong's tone was lost, and he turned to praise: "Qingqing, your voice is really beautiful."
“…” The fog cleared.
The maidservant beside her was stunned. She had originally thought her young lady was doomed, the master from the imperial city was truly too cruel. But who could have known that, just as she was screaming at the top of her lungs, the young lady looked up at the master, and the master's attitude suddenly changed. Not only did he let the young lady go, he also ordered the guards to leave...
This strange change of attitude...
No matter how you look at it, it seems like he fell in love with the lady at first sight!
The little maid's eyes gradually brightened. If the young lady was favored by the lords in the imperial city, did it mean that she might follow the young lady to the imperial city in the future?
That's the most prosperous place in the world!
Maybe, she would be noticed by some important person. She didn't expect that person to be as powerful as Lord Jiang Cong, but any of them could make her go from a maid to the head of a house, and live a life of wealth and luxury...
The little maidservant was lost in fantasy and couldn't help but smile.
"Miss," she volunteered, "Aren't you here to invite the Lord to your birthday party tomorrow?"
Shi Wuqing felt something was wrong.
"Okay!" Jiang Cong quickly agreed, and from his voice, one could tell he was quite happy. "Qingqing, don't worry, I will definitely prepare a wonderful gift for you!"
“…” Shi Wuqing closed his eyes.
I don't want you to come.
The girl lowered her eyes and stood there quietly, the hem of her brightly colored dress swaying in the wind outside the window.
Jiang Cong watched, not knowing why, but he felt his heart also rising and floating high in the air.
"Qingqing, don't be afraid of me." Jiang Cong said, "I can give you anything you like."
Upon hearing this, Shi Wuqing raised his head, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Then can you give me the rabbit?"
"Rabbit?" Jiang Cong turned around.
The maid hurried over with the snow rabbit in her arms.
The young man looked at the dying rabbit with disdain and frowned, saying, "Qingqing, this one is almost dead. If you like it, I'll have someone buy two good ones."
"I want this one." Shi Wuqing had recovered now, and she said according to her character: "Give it to me."
The sentence structure sounded like an order, but the young master, who always had the final say on life and death, didn't get angry. Instead, he was afraid that the other party would get angry, so he quickly said, "Okay, Qingqing, don't worry, I will find someone to cure it! Even if it's dead, it must be brought back to life for me!"
