In the past, Xie Nanjia might have turned around and left without hesitation, but now, after thinking it over all night and deciding to coax Zhao Jingyu first, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in with the little girl to see him.
After Zhao Jingyu finished his morning exercise, he took a shower, changed into his unchanging red robe, and had breakfast served by a group of beautiful maids.
Just as they were enjoying their meal, a little maid outside came in to report that Miss Xiu'er wanted to see them.
Zhao Jingyu was very surprised. Why wasn't this stubborn girl so calm today and came to the door obediently just for a food box
On second thought, she was so reluctant to leave last night, could it be that she deliberately left the lunch box behind so that she could come to see him under the pretext of getting the lunch box
Thinking of this, he loudly ordered the maid to bring the person in, and then whispered to Yiyun beside him to feed him porridge.
Yiyun was stunned for a moment, suspecting that there was something wrong with her ears. Although the second young master invited many people to accompany him for every meal, he never allowed others to feed him. Before, a new maid wanted to please him. Relying on her beauty, she wanted to feed him in a coquettish voice, but she was immediately sent to the laundry. What happened today
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up!" Zhao Jingyu urged.
Yiyun came to her senses, picked up the red dates and lotus seeds porridge on the table, and fed it to his mouth with a small silver spoon.
The curtain sounded and Xie Nanjia came in. At a glance, she saw Zhao Jingyu opening his rosy mouth like a baby bird, letting the maid feed porridge into his mouth.
The girl was also very beautiful, and it was obvious that Zhao Jingyu liked her very much. The look in his eyes when he looked at her was as gentle as water.
Xie Nanjia clenched her hands into fists subconsciously, but only for a moment, then loosened them again. She saluted Zhao Jingyu calmly, "I pay my respects to the Second Young Master!"
Zhao Jingyu didn't ask her to stand up immediately. With porridge in his mouth, he looked at her casually, trying to see some jealousy in her eyes.
Cheng Zhiye said, if a woman really likes you, no matter how good she is at disguising herself, her eyes can't deceive you.
But Xiu'er still had that calm look on her face, with no expression of any emotion visible behind her drooping eyelashes.
Zhao Jingyu was very disappointed. He swallowed the porridge, cleared his throat and said, "Get up!"
"Thank you, Second Young Master." Xie Nanjia stood up straight with her hands hanging down, "I'm here to get the food box."
"Oh." Zhao Jingyu took another sip of porridge from Yiyun's hand. He didn't say he would give it to her, nor did he say he wouldn't give it to her. He then told Caiyun to feed him some side dish.
Caiyun was as confused as Yiyun, not understanding why the Second Young Master suddenly changed his temper, so he immediately picked up a piece of crispy bamboo shoots and fed it to him.
Not only did Zhao Jingyu eat it, he also gave her a charming smile, which made her almost unable to hold the chopsticks.
Xie Nanjia stood there expressionless. Zhao Jingyu didn't say anything. She could neither get the lunch box nor leave. She wanted to say a few words to please him, but didn't know where to start. She could only watch him eat breakfast like he was drinking wine.
Seeing that Xie Nanjia still had no reaction, Zhao Jingyu couldn't help but feel discouraged. He lost his temper first and hooked his white index finger at Xie Nanjia twice: "Come here."
Xie Nanjia hesitated for a moment, then walked slowly up to him and asked, "Second Master, what do you want?"
Zhao Jingyu gave Yiyun a look and said, "Give her the bowl."
Yiyun was slightly startled, then handed the bowl to Xie Nanjia.
Xie Nanjia had no choice but to take it, so he reached out to take it, thinking, this guy wouldn't want me to feed him, right
Just as the thought came to mind, Zhao Jingyu ordered, "Feed me."
"..." Xie Nanjia had the urge to throw the bowl on his face.
"Hurry up!" Zhao Jingyu opened his mouth.
In order to establish a good relationship with him, Xie Nanjia had no choice but to reluctantly scoop a spoonful of porridge into his mouth.
However, Zhao Jingyu bit the tip of the spoon hard, staring at her with a smile and his eyes full of teasing.
Xie Nanjia pulled twice but failed to pull it out. Knowing that he was doing it on purpose, she couldn't help but glared at him angrily.
With this glare, all the obedience and gentleness just now disappeared. Zhao Jingyu's heart was immediately filled with joy. He loosened his teeth, swallowed the porridge, smacked his lips loudly, looked into Xie Nanjia's eyes and said meaningfully, "So sweet."
Xie Nanjia's heart skipped a beat and his face felt hot. He hurriedly scooped up some porridge to hide his embarrassment.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of porridge, Zhao Jingyu wanted to eat vegetables, eggs, and snacks. He would not let anyone else help and insisted that Xie Nanjia feed him.
Yiyun and Caiyun finally understood the reason for the Second Young Master's abnormal behavior. They looked at each other and quietly left with the maids in the room.
Xie Nanjia and Zhao Jingyu were so focused on feeding the baby and eating that neither of them noticed that there was no one in the room.
Wei Jun came back from the servants' dining area after having breakfast. He saw Yiyun and Caiyun standing outside the door and asked curiously, "Master, have you finished eating so quickly?"
Yiyun covered her mouth and smiled: "It's still early, it will take more than half an hour to finish it."
"Then why don't you serve inside?" Wei Jun asked again.
Cai Yun pretended to be sentimental: "The Second Young Master has a new lover and doesn't like us anymore."
"..." Wei Jun was speechless about women's roundabout way of speaking. In comparison, he still preferred Xiu'er's straightforward way of speaking.
Thinking of Xiu'er, he immediately thought of a possibility and asked, "Is Xiu'er here?"
Yiyun and Caiyun blinked at the same time: "Guess!"
Wei Jun: “…”
Guess what!
In the room, Zhao Jingyu was finally full. He rubbed his stomach contentedly and asked Xie Nanjia to wipe his mouth.
Xie Nanjia had lost her temper at his ordering her around, so she took out her handkerchief to help him wipe it clean.
After wiping, Zhao Jingyu said that he was too full to stand up, and asked Xie Nanjia to help him up.
Xie Nanjia put away the handkerchief and tried to help him up, but he deliberately fell down and refused to get up. Xie Nanjia knew very well that he was doing something bad, but she couldn't get angry, so she used all her strength to pull him up, but he suddenly stood up. Xie Nanjia couldn't stop her strength and pulled him into her arms.
Zhao Jingyu pretended to be unsteady and hugged her.
There was a brief silence in the room until the man's body temperature seeped through his clothes and penetrated his skin, and he felt another person's heartbeat in his chest. Only then did Xie Nanjia react and suddenly pushed Zhao Jingyu away, angrily saying, "You, you are shameless!"
Zhao Jingyu burst out laughing, her peach blossom eyes curved with laughter: "It's obviously you who took advantage of me, you hit my chest and hurt it!"
As he spoke, he rubbed his chest with his hand, glanced at Xie Nanjia's slightly flat chest, and said meaningfully: "No wonder it hurts so much."
Xie Nanjia was so angry that her face turned red. She really wanted to slap him and walk away, but she endured it again and again. Finally, she suppressed her anger and did not lose her temper.
Zhao Jingyu was very surprised. He had gone so far, but Xiu'er could still endure it. This was not her style!
Did she endure this kind of humiliation just to get a food box back
Impossible. With her previous temperament, she might not bow her head even if the food box was made of gold or silver.
There is something wrong with this girl. Could it be that she really falls in love with me
Seeing how angry she is, it doesn't seem like that. Or maybe she wants something from me
She didn't let Huangfu follow her during this period. Could it be that she encountered some trouble
"Xiu'er, do you have something to ask me?" He stopped laughing and asked seriously.
Xie Nanjia said with a straight face: "What do you want me to do? Do you want me to be bullied?"
"..." Zhao Jingyu smiled awkwardly, "Look at what you said, I was just joking with you just now."
Xie Nanjia still had a stern face: "Have you had enough of making trouble now? If you have, return the lunch box to me. I still need to go back to work."
She was thinking about Mrs. Wang's coming, and she also had to find Feng Lun to help Lu Liu release Aunt Xue. If she was late, she would lose the best opportunity.
Zhao Jingyu said: "It's just a food box, I will return it to you. If you really have any trouble, you might as well tell me and I will definitely help you."
Xie Nanjia was slightly stunned, not sure if he was serious or joking. After thinking for a while, he said, "If you really want to help me, don't let me accompany you to the West Mountain Paddock."
Zhao Jingyu's face suddenly darkened, the smile in his eyes disappeared, and he said coldly: "You are pushing your luck!"
Xie Nanjia: “…”
You've been teasing me since I walked in the door, what have I done to you
What kind of person is this? He is so moody. He gets angry for no reason. How boring!
Just as she was thinking about it, Zhao Jingyu called Yiyun in with a stern face and asked Yiyun to take her to the kitchen to get the lunch box.
Xie Nanjia was confused by his inexplicable anger. She said nothing more and followed Yiyun.
Yiyun didn't understand why the Second Young Master suddenly got angry, so she carefully led Xie Nanjia out of the door, and only asked her after they were a long way away: "What's wrong with the Second Young Master?"
Xie Nanjia shook her head: "Who knows, she got angry while talking."
Yiyun couldn't help but feel confused when she heard her casual tone, as if she didn't take the Second Young Master seriously at all.
This girl is so arrogant that she doesn't even take the Second Young Master seriously. I heard from others that she treats the Crown Prince the same way.
There are only two young masters in the mansion, and she doesn't like either of them. Could it be that she has set her eyes on the Marquis
The second young master finally fell in love with a girl, is he going to lose to her father
Yiyun was thinking about something and started laughing. After she finished laughing, she felt that this was very rude. She smiled apologetically at Xie Nanjia and said, "Actually, the second young master is a very good person. He specifically asked me to wash your lunch box so that you don't have to wash it again when you go back. He has never been so concerned about anyone before. You and your young lady are the only two people he cares about in the mansion."
Xie Nanjia looked at her in confusion: "What do you mean, why are you telling me this?"
Yiyun smiled and said, "I don't mean anything. I just want you to not misunderstand the Second Young Master. He is really a good person."
"How good is it?" Xie Nanjia asked sarcastically, "Is it good to collect a whole yard of beauties for your own enjoyment?"
Moreover, would a good man spend the whole day doing nothing but thinking about taking advantage of girls
"..." Yiyun choked and lowered her voice, "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else. We weren't recruited by the Second Young Master, but were rescued from the bad guys by him. He was just pretending to be romantic and affectionate, and he never did anything inappropriate to us. He is really a good man."
Xie Nanjia paused and looked at Yiyun deeply, finding it difficult to digest this information.
"You don't believe me?" Yiyun asked.
Xie Nanjia shook her head: "Whether you believe it or not is another matter. Why did you tell me the second young master's secret?"
Yiyun said, "Because the Second Young Master treats you differently, we all hope that he can find a close friend. Otherwise, he wouldn't have run into the Second Young Master's room to peek at you last time."
"… You think too much, I'm just a girl." Xie Nanjia was speechless. This was different from what she had expected, with hundreds of women competing for a husband. She was confused.
"So what if she's a girl? Zhong Ziqi is still a woodcutter!" Yiyun said.
Xie Nanjia was startled at first, then laughed: "But your young master is not Boya."
Evian: “…”
This girl has a really hard heart.
After seeing Xie Nanjia off, Yiyun returned to Zhao Jingyu's room to report. Zhao Jingyu didn't ask any more questions, but asked her to wait outside, and then told Huangfu to follow Xie Nanjia.
He always felt that this girl was acting particularly abnormal today and there must be something going on.
Huangfu was gone for about an incense stick's time and came back to report that after Xiu'er left the west wing, she went to the young master's courtyard to meet Feng Lun, and then returned to the fourth young lady's courtyard and never went out again.
It’s Feng Lun again. Why does she always go to Feng Lun
Zhao Jingyu was very unhappy. He couldn't believe that he, who was so handsome, elegant and suave, was not as attractive as a guard. This really annoyed him.
"What did she say to Feng Lun?"
"She asked Feng Lun to go to the place where Aunt Xue was imprisoned to divert the guards so that Lvliu could go in and release Aunt Xue." Huangfu replied.
"Aunt Xue, what does this have to do with her?" Zhao Jingyu asked puzzledly.
Before he finished speaking, Wei Jun came in through the curtain and reported, "Xiao Luzi sent a message saying that the matchmaker Wang Furen came to propose marriage to the prince, but before she even entered the Madam's courtyard, she was scratched on the face by the crazy Aunt Xue."
