Chapter 27: The Best Things in the World (Part II)
"Hmm." Mu Qiuhuang subconsciously responded.
Ji Ruoxue looked at Mu Qiuhuang, who had a flat reaction, and said, "I am the eldest lady of Xiliehou Mansion...... Shouldn't you be surprised to hear the news? β
"Oh......" Mu Qiuhuang suddenly thought that he should show the mental activity and surprise of the other party when he first saw each other in the stable in the morning and recognized each other, because strictly speaking, this is the first time period for each other to officially know each other's true identities.
"It's not that I'm not surprised, but I didn't react at all when I was surprised......," Mu Qiuhuang said in hindsight, looking at Ji Ruoxue's expression a little stupid.
"It turns out that his reaction just now was not calm, but because he was directly stunned by the news?" Ji Ruoxue looked at Mu Qiuhuang and said secretly in her heart: "However, it should be like this." β
β¦β¦
For a while, neither of the two people sitting opposite each other spoke again, but he and she were doing the same action~ glanced at each other from time to time, and then lowered their heads and secretly made silly fun.
I don't know how long it has been, Ji Ruoxue raised her head, looked at him, and said, "What are you doing silly?" β
"What are you doing silly?" What Ji Ruoxue said seemed to be asking, but Ji Ruoxue didn't use an inquiring tone, but instead had a bit of familiarity and intimacy, just like the greeting when acquaintances meet and the opening remarks when chatting...... In fact, the two of them were so casual and intimate when they chatted before, so they talked about how many people in each other's family, each other's interests and hobbies, and other intimate topics
"Huh? ......" Mu Qiuhuang raised his head suspiciously, looked at the other party, and after seeing that the other party's eyes were still full of smiles, he gradually relaxed his heart, and his smirk became more and more serious.
Ji Ruoxue looked at the other party's expression, couldn't help but shake her head, and said, "Don't laugh." β
"Oh!" Mu Qiuhuang said, and then lowered his head.
Ji Ruoxue looked at him who lowered his head, and wanted to say "It's not okay to snicker", but when she thought that she was also smiling at this time, she said, "Don't you want to say something?" β
"Ah......h
"Say whatever you want."
Ji Ruoxue thought for a moment and then added, "Just like when we chatted before." β
"Oh!" Mu Qiuhuang answered, looked at the tea cup in front of Ji Ruoxue, and said, "Is the tea cold?" I'll change the hot one for you. β
"Huh?" Ji Ruoxue couldn't help but be a little angry, thinking to herself when she didn't know her true identity just now, how could you say that, now, after knowing that I am your fiancΓ©e, you are a little clumsy?
"I'm not thirsty." Ji Ruoxue looked at each other and said calmly.
After hearing the other party say that he was not thirsty, Mu Qiuhuang also put down the teapot he had just picked up, and then said, "Then are you hungry?" There are also snacks in this carriage. β
"Uh..." Ji Ruoxue looked up helplessly, looked out of the car, and said with a little complaint: "In addition to eating and drinking, can't you say something else?" β
When Mu Qiuhuang heard this, he looked a little flustered, and for a while, he really didn't know what to say again? I couldn't help but secretly regret that when I was chatting with the other party before, I chatted too happily, and I actually talked about all the topics I could think of...... So much so, at this point, I couldn't find a suitable topic.
"What? You don't want to chat anymore, do you? So, I'll go first. Ji Ruoxue turned around and said casually.
"No... No. β
Hearing that the other party was leaving, Mu Qiuhuang seemed a little anxious, and in a hurry, he spoke again: "You are really the eldest lady of Xiliehou Mansion, my... FiancΓ©e? β
Ji Ruoxue couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and said in her heart: It turns out that you are still immersed in the shock just now, and you didn't react.
Mu Qiuhuang looked at Ji Ruoxue and smiled, her heart was slightly relieved, and she subconsciously said: "You look so good when you smile."
As soon as the words fell, Mu Qiuhuang added: "It's like a flower." β
After finishing speaking, Mu Qiuhuang seemed to feel that the words just now were still a little unfinished, and added again: "No! Looks better than flowers. β
Ji Ruoxue understood the meaning he wanted to express in these three sentences, these three sentences were all praising her, but the degree of praise was gradually increasing.
"You look so good when you smile."
"It's like flowers."
"It's more beautiful than flowers."
Ji Ruoxue silently repeated these three sentences in her heart, and two blushes couldn't help but appear on her cheeks...... looked at him and whispered: "Flim flam." β
"I didn't, what I said." Mu Qiuhuang hurriedly defended herself, and when she saw that Ji Ruoxue's smile did not decrease in the slightest, but became thicker, she took a long breath and began to be silly.
Ji Ruoxue turned her head, looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a smirk on her face, and said with a smile: "It's so stupid."
"Hehe......" Mu Qiuhuang looked at Ji Ruoxue and continued to be silly.
Ji Ruoxue looked at him, and suddenly said, "I'm thirsty." β
"Huh?"
Mu Qiuhuang was slightly stunned, and hurriedly poured out the residual tea in the teacup in front of Ji Ruoxue, and added another cup of hot tea.
Ji Ruoxue picked up the teacup, blew it gently, but didn't drink it, turned her head to look at Mu Qiuhuang, and asked, "You said before that you went to the land of Qinlu for the marriage contract, what are you going to do?" β
Mu Qiuhuang looked at Ji Ruoxue and replied honestly: "I was originally going to go to you to cancel the marriage contract...... However, now I am going to propose. β
"Aren't you afraid of my master?" Ji Ruoxue asked with a smile on her face.
"Don't be afraid." Mu Qiuhuang replied very simply.
"Why? My master is the best master in the world. Ji Ruoxue said with a smile.
Mu Qiuhuang looked at Ji Ruoxue, and after organizing the language in his heart, he said seriously: "If you weren't you, I would definitely have to return this marriage contract...... But since you are you, then I will fulfill this marriage contract no matter what. β
This passage is very tongue-twisting, but she still understands it, this passage is very much like a confession, an oath, he clearly conveyed his heart to her, she likes her in front of her, not the eldest lady of the Xiliehou Mansion on the marriage contract...... Therefore, she feels satisfied. And in order not to let the other party see the satisfaction in her heart, she quietly turned sideways and looked out of the carriage alone.
I don't know how long later, when she looked back again, she realized that he had been looking at her all along.
"What are you always watching me do?" Ji Ruoxue asked deliberately, but without the slightest hint of reproach.
"Because you're really good-looking." Mu Qiuhuang replied calmly.
Some things really don't need to be studied in a special way, in front of a special environment and a special person, these words will come with it. Why didn't you say something before? That's only because, he hasn't met anyone who can really make him say these beautiful things.
When Ji Ruoxue heard this, the flush on her cheeks became thicker, her long eyelashes blinked slightly, and she said to this Mu Qiuhuang: "Don't flick your tongue anymore." β
"I didn't." Mu Qiuhuang defended herself: "I'm just telling the truth. β
When Ji Ruoxue heard this, she lowered her head slightly and did not speak.
"By the way, why did you ask your master to threaten me to withdraw from the marriage contract?" Mu Qiuhuang said.
In fact, he didn't say this to question, nor was he curious, he just wanted to find a topic.
But Ji Ruoxue didn't think of this, so after a moment of silence, she raised her head and said, "Shouldn't you ask yourself?" β
"Ask me?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but be full of doubts.
Ji Ruoxue looked at Mu Qiuhuang, who looked puzzled, and also decided to ask the doubts in her heart one by one.
"Who made you behave indecently?" Ji Ruoxue said calmly.
"I ...... Misconduct? Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but be confused.
Ji Ruoxue looked at the other party's expression, knowing that her guess should not be bad, there were all kinds of rumors about the other party before, and there should be other hidden secrets...... But she still wanted to listen to the other party's explanation with her own ears, so she said: "You don't say anything about stepping on the red carpet to the green building, and you still stay in it."
"So that's because of this?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but suddenly realize when he heard this, and it seemed that what he did at the beginning still worked after all, and even his fiancΓ©e who was far away in Qinlu had heard about it.
"What? Is all this true? Ji Ruoxue asked.
"It's true, but it's not what you think." Mu Qiuhuang looked directly into Ji Ruoxue's eyes and explained seriously: "Spreading the red carpet to the Qinglou is to feast on the Northern Desert Border Army. At the beginning, they fought hard to protect my safety, but as a result, there was not one out of ten border troops, and I promised to invite them to Liujing River. As for it, it's not false that I stayed in the Qinglou, but I didn't do anything, you know, at the beginning, my qi sea was abolished like a wasted person, but I still occupied the position of the prince of Beiyu, and I was also for self-preservation, so I had to discredit myself......"
"Sure enough." Ji Ruoxue couldn't help but be full of joy when she heard this, she was convinced of Mu Qiuhuang's explanation.
"So, what about you killing and crippling the Marquis of Haihun for no reason?" Ji Ruoxue asked again.
"That's true, but the ones I killed and maimed all deserve it, and the evil deeds they committed are not exaggerated......
"In this way, you are eradicating harm to the people." Ji Ruoxue praised.
"Not exactly." Mu Qiuhuang touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "At the beginning, it was also because they provoked me......"
Seeing that she praised him and was dismissed, Ji Ruoxue not only did not dislike it, but felt that the other party was sincere and honest even more.
Seeing that the misunderstanding had been completely explained, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but ask, "Then you...... Will you still oppose this marriage now? β
"What?" Ji Ruoxue was slightly stunned, then looked at the other party and smiled slyly, and said, "It depends on your performance." β
"Me?" Mu Qiuhuang suddenly said seriously: "I can swear that everything I just said to you is true......
"I believe it." Ji Ruoxue interrupted the other party's words with a smile.
β¦β¦
"Next, shall we go all the way?" Mu Qiuhuang cautiously made his request.
Ji Ruoxue smiled slightly when she heard this, but did not answer his words directly, but said, "Stretch out your hand." β
Although Mu Qiuhuang was puzzled, he still handed his hand over without hesitation.
Ji Ruoxue grabbed Mu Qiuhuang's arm, gently rolled up her sleeves, winked at him, smiled slightly, and suddenly bit down hard......
"Why don't you hide?"
"You didn't let me hide"
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"It's all bleeding, and you still say it doesn't hurt?"
"It really doesn't hurt."
β¦β¦
Ji Ruoxue carefully bandaged Mu Qiuhuang, after the tooth marks she had just left on the other party's arm. opened his mouth and said: "It's all because of you that I ran away from home and wandered for so long...... I used to tell myself that when I saw you, I would bite you hard. β
"Well, it's all my fault...... I'm sorry. Mu Qiuhuang said apologetically.
"It's stupid, I was bitten by me, and you said sorry to me." Ji Ruoxue said with a smile.
"Huh?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Ji Ruoxue looked out of the car window and said calmly: "Since your hand was bitten by me, then let's go together!"
"Good! All right! Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but be full of joy when she heard this, looked at Ji Ruoxue, and said in her heart, it turned out that she was embarrassed to agree to her request, so she came up with such a solution.
Ji Ruoxue looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a smirk on her face, but what she thought in her heart was a story she had seen in a book: a woman bit a man, and then, that man never forgot that woman in his life.
