Chapter 17 You Must Like Me

Xiao Jinxuan narrowed his eyes and laughed in anger.

As expected, when dealing with Xie Zhuoning, one cannot resort to extraordinary methods.

"It's fine to return the room to Miss Xie, but my guard was kicked by your maid, and I'm afraid the rest of his life is ruined. What about Miss Xie?"

Ling Xiao had just taken a breath and was about to stand up, but upon hearing the words, he curled up on the ground again and began to groan.

Xie Zhuoning felt guilty for a moment.

Putting aside other things, Xia Ju's kick was indeed very fierce, and it hurt her just looking at it.

The shopkeeper looked to the left, then to the right, and whispered, "Why don't I ask someone to bring a screen over to divide the room into two? How about you two take a step back and live in peace?"

It's obviously his own room, who wants to live in peace with him?

Boss Xie Zhuoning was reluctant, and at this moment he heard a gong sound coming from the street.

Her expression froze.

The sound of the gong means the battle dance has begun.

If you pull any further, you'll miss the highlight.

Almost at the same time, she and Xiao Jinxuan blurted out, "Sure!"

Their tacit understanding made people think that they had discussed it beforehand, which made Jiang Yao look at them again with a strange expression.

Why does something feel weird between these two people?

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked someone to bring a screen to divide the room in the middle.

But the room can be divided into two, but there is only one window.

The two of them ran quickly to the window and inevitably bumped into each other.

Xiao Jinxuan looked embarrassed and was hesitating about what to say.

The next second, Xie Zhuoning's beautiful eyes curved into a faint smile, and he said firmly, "You couldn't wait to get intimate with me right after the door was closed. Your Highness really has me in his heart!"

"What are you talking about?"

Xiao Jinxuan's face turned dark and he reacted very quickly. Before Xie Zhuoning could finish his words, he was already eight feet away.

The look on his face made him want to brand the words "avoid suspicion" on his face with iron!

Xie Zhuoning raised his hand to cover his lips, blinking his innocent big eyes, "Ah? Did I misunderstand? Who allowed you, Your Highness, to get so close to me..."

The coquettish and charming complaint made it seem as if Xiao Jinxuan had done something wrong.

He held his breath and wished he could use a stick to seal the girl's mouth!

Xie Zhuoning didn't care how popular he was. He asked Xia Ju to bring in tables, chairs, and fruits. He monopolized the best view and watched the performance on the opposite stage leisurely.

When the dance on the stage ended, she clapped and cheered, "Good!"

Jiang Yao looked at his uncle standing far behind Miss Xie, and for a moment he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

To be honest, this was the first time in his life that he saw his uncle being embarrassed by a woman.

On the fighting stage, the competition is extremely fierce, with one person taking the lead and the other taking the stage.

Not long after, Xie Zhuoning saw a familiar yet unexpected figure.

She swept away her laziness and leaned forward, frowning, "Xia Ju, look quickly, is that the third sister?"

Xia Ju nodded, "Yes."

The music started and Xie Zhiqing entered the venue, spinning to the beat of the drums.

She was wearing a golden dance dress with hanging beads, which swayed with her slender white waist, causing the hearts of the men present to sway.

"Okay! One more jump!"

"Whose lady is this? Why have I never seen her before?"

"What? From the Xie family? The Crown Princess's sister? Interesting..."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, Xie Zhiqing couldn't suppress her excitement.

She knew she had won.

After practicing dance for so long, every move, every look, every spin, and every jump are so perfect that no one can find any fault with them.

She has waited for this day for too long.

After today, her name Xie Zhiqing will be known to everyone!

Even Xie Zhuoning had to admit, "It's a good dance."

Ever since that girl looked down on Murong Xu, she knew that her third sister had her own ideas in mind.

But no matter what her plans were, they were destined to fail today.

Because the real protagonist is about to appear.

"The third daughter of the Xie family is indeed quite capable. I'm afraid she will be the winner of today's battle, right?"

Just as everyone was talking, a white shadow suddenly appeared.

She didn't have Xie Zhiqing's proficient dancing skills, nor did she dress fancy. But she just took a few steps and made everyone present unable to sit still.

Just because wherever she walked, grass grew, warblers flew, and lotus flowers bloomed!

"A dance brings flowers to life, and spring comes to all things..." Jiang Yao's eyes widened in shock, "I never thought the saint in the legend would be her!"

Xiao Jinxuan glanced sideways, "Do you know him?"

Jiang Yao scratched his head and chuckled.

Which of these famous girls in the capital city of Manchuria does he not know?

The woman on the stage is named Bai Yingxue, the daughter of the Crown Prince's tutor.

Because of her cool temperament and well-known talent, she was also known as the "Snow Lotus Fairy".

"Hiss..." Jiang Yao took a breath of cool air, "Could it be that she is really a fairy, so she can show miracles?"

Xiao Jinxuan looked stern, "How can this be a miracle? It's just some tricks."

The formation is indeed impressive, but if you really think about it, it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

Just as he expected, someone was trying to cause trouble at the Lando Festival.

"Uncle, you don't recognize miracles, but some people do." Jiang Yao folded his arms and pointed his thumb out the window.

Many common people have already started to kneel on the ground and shout "Saint".

It seems that the saying that whoever gets the saint can get the world is not groundless.

The people are ignorant and follow the crowd, but anyone with ulterior motives can take advantage of everyone's respect for the saint and guide them a little, and then they can dominate the people's hearts.

Now it depends on who can seize the opportunity.

Before he finished speaking, he heard a sharp shout from below -

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

Everyone present knelt down to salute, but Xiao Bicheng didn't even look at others and walked straight towards Bai Yingxue on the stage.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The cold and fairy-like woman bowed gracefully.

Xiao Bicheng stepped forward and helped the person up. "Miss Bai has brought good fortune to Daye. She is a meritorious official of Daye. There is no need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Highness~"

The two of them pushed and shoved each other, stared into each other's eyes, and were so affectionate that they were about to pull out the thread.

It's obvious that the relationship is not simple.

Jiang Yaorao was interested, "It seems that the prince has taken the lead!"

But it makes sense.

Bai Yingxue's father is the prince's tutor, so the prince is the first to get the upper hand.

Hearing these words, Xiao Jinxuan frowned and subconsciously looked at Xie Zhuoning.

Seeing her fiancé looking at another woman lovingly in public, she must feel bad, right?

After thinking for a while, he said awkwardly, "Miss Xie, don't worry. No matter what, you are the designated Crown Princess, and this will never change."

Xie Zhuoning was watching the excitement very seriously, and when he heard Xiao Jinxuan's words, he was still a little dazed.

When she tasted the flavor, she smiled with bright eyes, "Your Highness, are you trying to comfort me? You care so much about my feelings, you must like me!"
