Chapter 289

Si Linglong watched Helian Yuezhi elegantly cleaning the meat slices in the bowl and became a little anxious for a moment.

[I, I just said that because I was embarrassed by Li Sheng's teasing. Why do you take it so seriously?]

[If you're serious, at least give me something else to eat. Who are you trying to fool with a plate of bean cakes? ]

Having said that, who can stand the hot pot in front of them?

Seeing that Helian Yue had eaten up all the meat in the bowl and then started to eat the meat himself, Si Linglong could still endure it at first, but later she could no longer bear it.

[Don’t torture me like this!!]

She's hungry!

Looking eagerly at Helian Yue, seeing him ignoring her while dunking the meat, Si Linglong gritted her teeth and decided to go for broke. Just as she was about to pick up the chopsticks to eat the meat, Helian Yue's chopsticks had already picked up the dunked meat slices and put them directly into the bowl in front of her.

Si Linglong's hand paused as she picked up the chopsticks.

He turned his head and looked at Helian Yue, a little confused.

Helian Yue only glanced at her and said indifferently, "What? Are you really planning to give up spicy food?"

Si Linglong had been dealing with Helian Yue for some time, so she finally realized what was going on and said, "Are you kidding me?"

Helian Yue raised her eyebrows. She even forgot to call herself "a concubine". Did she not intend to pretend to be the emperor's favorite concubine?

Helian Yue didn't say anything, but from his raised eyebrow reaction, Si Linglong thought that this guy was playing tricks on her, on purpose.

"You did it on purpose!" With a firm tone and a hint of embarrassment, Si Linglong suddenly forgot her status as a favored concubine and slapped him hard on the arm as she spoke.

There was a dull thud, and not only Helian Yue, the one being hit, but also Si Linglong, the one doing the hitting, were visibly stunned. Then, a look of guilt suddenly appeared on their faces.

[Oh my god, my hands are too quick...]

In just a second, Si Linglong quickly put on a serious expression, pretended nothing had happened, and picked up the chopsticks on the table again.

[I was quite quick just now. As long as I act as if nothing happened, Helian Yue will definitely not notice that I just attacked you.]

Yes, attacking the police is called attacking the police, and attacking the king is called attacking the king.

Helian Yue almost laughed at her pretentious expression.

You still want to pretend nothing happened? No way.

"My beloved concubine just... attacked you?"

Helian Yue directly used the word that was in her mind.

Si Linglong didn't notice that there was anything wrong with the word at first. When he mentioned it coldly, her heart skipped a beat, but she still managed to keep a straight face, "No, no."

Helian Yue really laughed this time.

Are you planning to get away with it by playing dumb?

Si Linglong was a little frightened by his smile, so she turned around and forced a smile at him, pretending to be sweet and saying, "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the word 'flirting'?"

[I just patted you lightly, how can you call me a stuntman? ]

[To put it another way, it means I touched you. ]

Helian Yue sneered.

Is that called touching?

That was a really hard touch.

It was rare that he caught her doing something wrong, but Helian Yue was not going to let her off so easily. He deliberately asked,

"My beloved, have you ever heard of the term 'punishing all nine generations of a clan'?"

When Si Linglong heard this, she stood up immediately.

[I just tapped her lightly, how come we ended up talking about exterminating nine clans?! ]

[If you keep doing this, you will be called a tyrant and be hung on the city gate! ]

Although Helian Yue was handsome, perhaps because of his strong aura as a superior, Si Linglong could never understand his emotions when he was not smiling, and she also could not understand his emotions when he was smiling.

But subconsciously, she was convinced that Helian Yue was not someone who would exterminate an entire clan for a small matter, and he must be trying to scare her.

"Your Majesty is trying to scare me again." Si Linglong said firmly. After all, this man had just pinched her flesh!

[Don't try to make excuses, you're just trying to scare me. ]

Helian Yue didn't expect her to take it seriously, so he simply admitted it generously.

"You are allowed to fool me with empty words, but I am not allowed to scare you?"

Si Linglong was still trying to make excuses, "I wasn't fooling around, I was just flirting. Your Majesty, you don't understand. This is how we common people behave."

Helian Yue sneered again, as if to say, "Let me see whether I believe you or not."

"I have only heard that people quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed, and they are beaten with a stick and given a date."

Not to mention giving him a date, I can't even do that if we have a quarrel at the head of the bed and at the foot of the bed.

As soon as they had an argument, she would immediately draw a line between them and would not even look back. Even a cow is not as stubborn as her.

What's wrong with him scaring her?

He hasn’t…

Helian Yue's inner thoughts came to an abrupt halt when he felt a soft touch on his cheek.

He turned his head and saw that someone had quickly retreated to his original position after the kiss, with his head lowered, his ears flushed, and muttering softly.

"Yes."
