62. Chapter 62: Joy
Xiaoxiao pointed directly at Pei Jing who was beside him.
Pei Jing was stunned for a moment. When he met the cold gaze of the emperor's uncle, he shuddered unconsciously. When he was about to explain, he saw strong dissatisfaction and extraordinary possessiveness of Xiaoxiao in the emperor's uncle's eyes.
Pei Jing's eyes moved slightly, and a ruffian smile unconsciously appeared on his lips. He reached out to pull Xiaoxiao's hand. Sure enough, before he could touch it, the emperor's uncle flashed in front of Xiaoxiao and stretched out his foot to kick him.
Pei Jing reacted quickly enough to dodge his kick, and his guess was confirmed.
Pei Jing sighed, feeling completely incredulous. He had never expected that he would actually...
Pei Jing felt inexplicably excited, but when he saw the emperor's uncle staring at him coldly with displeasure in his eyes, Pei Jing deliberately teased him with malicious intent.
"Why are you so angry? Aren't you afraid of hurting me? Xiaoxiao won't let you go. Since you heard what Xiaoxiao said, as an elder, please hurry up and make some arrangements for us. Although Xiaoxiao is a little older than me, I can accept her. Alas, I am just too charming. Unlike my uncle, who is so old, no girl is willing to marry you."
He looked like he deserved a beating. Pei Xiuhan's eyebrows twitched involuntarily, and his handsome face became frighteningly gloomy. If murderous intent could kill, Pei Jing would have been torn into pieces by now.
Seeing that he was still trying to show off, Pei Xiuhan reached out to grab him. Pei Jing seemed arrogant, but he was always on guard against him. Seeing this, he quickly took a step back and escaped using Qinggong. He ran far away and could still hear his voice, "If you have the ability, find a wife yourself quickly. What's the point of being jealous of me!"
Pei Xiuhan's brows and heart skipped a beat. He didn't chase after her. He wanted to find out what Xiaoxiao was thinking.
He turned and looked at Xiaoxiao, his brows unconsciously furrowed. He was already very oppressive, and any look from him made people feel scary.
Pei Jing patted his chest after he ran away. He felt like he had had a great time. This was the first time in his life that he had seen his uncle being humiliated like this. He felt inexplicably excited.
He slipped back in again, wanting to see the show, as he always felt that it must be particularly exciting when an old man was jealous.
At this moment, the courtyard was dead silent.
Xiaoxiao clenched her two little hands together nervously, her eyes fixed on her toes. When she noticed Brother Pei's gaze on her, she became inexplicably nervous and didn't dare to look up at him.
Pei Xiuhan's eyes were so dark that they seemed to be dripping with water. He was about to ask something when his ears moved. The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot. Then, at the gate of the courtyard, Pei Jing's cry like a pig being slaughtered was heard, "Ah! It hurts, it hurts, uncle, please have mercy."
Xiaoxiao's heart tightened. She grabbed her dress and ran to the gate of the courtyard. Sure enough, she saw Pei Jing.
He returned again, thinking that he could hide for a while longer with his lightness, but he was discovered by the emperor's uncle as soon as he found a place to hide.
Pei Xiuhan grabbed his ear and lifted him up from the ground. Pei Jing tried to dodge but was pulled back. He didn't even try hard, but his ears turned red.
He was somewhat indignant, feeling that the emperor's uncle was seeking revenge for his personal gain! He reached out to pry his hands apart, trying to free his ears, but the next moment, the emperor's uncle grabbed his hands behind his back and pinned him to the ground in a somewhat awkward position.
When he met Xiaoxiao's gaze, Pei Jing felt inexplicably ashamed and swallowed back his words of begging for mercy. He felt very depressed to think that he, the emperor, had ended up in this state.
He looked at Xiaoxiao dimly.
Xiaoxiao touched the tip of her nose and finally mustered up the courage to plead for him, "Brother, he's still young and playful. Please forgive him this time."
Pei Xiuhan was holding back his anger, and when he saw that she was devoted to Pei Jing, the fire in his heart burned more and more fiercely, and his eyes looking at Xiaoxiao were also very deep.
Xiaoxiao's heart trembled unconsciously, and she swallowed back the words of begging for mercy. She bit her red lips unconsciously, and felt inexplicably guilty.
The next moment, she heard Brother Pei ask her coldly, "What do you like about such a useless guy?"
Xiaoxiao couldn't answer.
Pei Jing looked aggrieved. How could he be so useless? It would be fine if it was just a personal vendetta, but to actually attack him like this was simply unbearable.
Pei Jing had originally wanted to bring them together, but now, he was rebelling and deliberately retaliated, "No matter how useless I am, I am still Xiaoxiao's sweetheart. Uncle Huang slandered me like this, aren't you afraid that Xiaoxiao will resent you?"
Under normal circumstances, Pei Xiu Han would have discovered that he was deliberately trying to anger him, but at this moment, he almost lost his mind. Upon hearing this, he was successfully angered. He directly picked up Pei Jing from the ground, and without caring about Xiao Xiao, he dragged him onto the carriage, intending to return to the palace to teach him a lesson.
Xiaoxiao was frightened by his cold face and didn't dare to move for a while. When she reacted, the carriage had already run away. She didn't dare to chase it. When she thought of Brother Pei's dark face, she felt very uneasy and could only pray for Pei Jing to be lucky.
Pei Jing really had a good time talking big, but after being carried to the carriage by the emperor's uncle, he felt a little scared. He couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose, and after meeting his uncle's cold gaze, he realized that things had really gotten out of hand this time.
Pei Xiuhan stayed in the palace until night. When he left, Pei Jing was lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, looking as if he had lost all hope in life. He was also a man of integrity, so he didn't tell Xiaoxiao about his thoughts. When he thought of his uncle's depressed look, he felt secretly satisfied.
Pei Xiuhan endured for several hours but failed to suppress the anger in his heart. After returning, he went directly to Xiaoxiao's residence.
When Pei Xiu Han came to her, Xiao Xiao's mood had just calmed down a little. She was more afraid of pointing at him than pointing at Pei Jing.
Things have come to this, and she has thought it through. She will just find a reason to tell Brother Pei that she has figured it out. She was just young and naive before, so she was confused for a moment and was thinking about the emperor.
Seeing his figure, Xiaoxiao's heart instantly rose again. She looked at him nervously. The man's eyes were as dark as ink, and there was something creepy about them for no reason.
Xiaoxiao's heart couldn't help but start pounding.
Seeing the familiar scene in the room, Pei Xiuhan's mind flashed with her image of pointing at Pei Jing again. He pursed his thin lips and felt that this room had become hateful.
He swung his long arm, hooked it around the girl's slender waist, and with a tiptoe, took her to Su Yuexuan.
He took Xiaoxiao directly to his room.
Xiaoxiao's heart was pounding like a drum. After she stood firm, her mind was still hazy. The next moment, she heard his question, "What do you like about him? Is it because he's young and promising? Or is it because his harem is clean?"
When Xiaoxiao met his dark eyes, her eyelashes couldn't help but tremble slightly. No matter how slow she was, she realized that something was wrong with him. In the morning, her abnormal behavior could be understood as being a little unhappy with Pei Jing's arrogance, but now, it seemed as if he was jealous.
Xiaoxiao couldn't help but hold her breath. At this moment, she felt like she was dreaming. Seeing that she didn't answer, Pei Xiuhan stepped closer to her. "Hmm? What do you like about him?"
He was so imposing and his angry look was actually a little scary, but Xiaoxiao didn't feel scared at all. At this moment, her cheeks even felt a little hot.
She seemed to be bewitched and could not control her emotions at all. She could not help but whisper, "Then, then I like you, okay?"
