He Qingxiao didn't know for a moment whether Miss Kou was praising him or teasing him.
But his attention quickly focused on Xin You's words: "The bloody disaster——"
Xin You nodded: "It's the bloody disaster I mentioned to Master He a few days ago. It was supposed to be at this banquet. Fortunately, I was smart and didn't make Prince Qing go crazy..."
He Qingxiao listened quietly and finally understood.
Miss Kou had a drinking contest with Prince Qing in order to prevent his bloody disaster.
A warm current slowly flowed through his heart.
He Qingxiao came from an embarrassing background. Although many young women liked him because of his outstanding appearance, he avoided them on the one hand. On the other hand, this kind of considerate behavior was completely different from being enthusiastically pursued because of his appearance.
This difference, like spring breeze or drizzle, nourishes his heart.
"However, it's not just for Mr. He." The girl who was holding her chin and speaking changed her tone, "It's also for myself. I don't like to swallow my anger..."
She can solve the trouble by herself, but she doesn't want to trouble others, even if that person is Mr. He.
Xin You glanced at He Qingxiao.
The man opposite had a face as white as jade and eyebrows as dark as ink. He seemed to be more handsome than usual.
why is that?
Xinyou thought about it seriously and couldn't figure it out.
"Master He, I have a question."
He Qingxiao couldn't help but straighten her expression: "Miss Kou, please tell me."
Xin You tilted her head slightly, with pure doubt in her eyes: "Master He, why do you look better than usual today?"
He Qingxiao was waiting for Xin You to get down to business: "..."
The girl, whose expression remained unchanged but was actually quite drunk, did not wait for an answer. She looked for an answer herself: "Master He must have dressed up specially to attend the banquet."
He Qingxiao looked into those hazy eyes and nodded helplessly: "Yes, I dressed up deliberately."
Xin You raised her lips and smiled, showing an expression that was indeed true.
He Qingxiao felt that she could not let Miss Kou continue to talk nonsense. After all, she was in a drunken state that was different from ordinary people. God knows whether she would remember what she said after she woke up.
In case you still remember——
He Qingxiao didn't dare to think about what that would be like, so she quickly changed the subject: "Miss Kou said she had something serious to talk about, what is it?"
"Business?" Xin You's mind went blank, but the words just slipped out, "Isn't it finished?"
He Qingxiao couldn't help but twitch the corners of her lips.
"Master, congratulations, have some snacks." Xin You's head was dizzy, but she steadily pushed the snack box in front of him, "This is the snack made by Sister Yang. It tastes very good. Sister Yang, do you know who it is?" A few days ago, Miss Kou's restaurant changed its chef, and Mrs. Yang is his wife. Knowing that Mrs. Yang can cook well, I invited her to be the cook..."
He Qingxiao was sure that since he and Miss Kou had known each other, Miss Kou had never said as many words to him in total.
Seeing that Xin You kept talking without stopping, He Qingxiao silently picked up a piece of snack and ate it.
"How about it?"
"delicious."
Xin You smiled: "Yeah, although it's a little worse than Aunt Xia's cooking, it's not bad either. Master He, have you ever heard of Aunt Xia? She is Aunt Gui's biological sister, and her cooking skills are no worse than Aunt Gui's..."
Speaking of the end, the girl's long eyelashes trembled and she shed tears: "But Aunt Xia is dead, and I can no longer eat the snacks made by Aunt Xia."
He Qingxiao was originally amused and helpless because of Xin You's drunken behavior, but at this moment, it was like the thorn of a bee's tail that suddenly hooked on the tip of his heart, causing him to feel tiny pains.
He thought that he cared about the girl in front of him.
Maybe he drank too much at the banquet, or maybe it was the strong aroma of wine here that made him drunk. Before He Qingxiao realized it, his hand was covering the hand that was casually resting on the table.
The girl's hands are delicate and the man's hands are slender. The skin-to-skin contact was so hot that He Qingxiao didn't expect.
He seemed to be burned by sparks and quickly took his hand back, his heart beating rapidly.
"Feel sorry--"
I said two words, but I couldn't say them anymore.
Some things are completely unexplainable.
Xin You looked at his hands and fixed his eyes on He Qingxiao's face.
He Qingxiao's cheeks quickly turned crimson: "Miss Kou, you drank a lot today. Since we've finished talking about the business, you'd better go back and rest early."
"Yes, I drank a lot." Xin You raised the hand that was held, pressed his forehead, and stood up steadily, "Then I will go back to the east courtyard."
He Qingxiao also stood up, and as soon as he opened his legs, he saw the girl walking in front turning around and waving her hands happily: "See you tomorrow, Mr. He."
He Qingxiao looked a little strange.
It's a good thing that Miss Kou didn't remember anything after she woke up. If she did, she probably wouldn't be happy to see him tomorrow.
When walking through the study hall, Xin You seemed to be doing everything as usual. When he returned to the east courtyard and entered the house, he fell directly on the bed and fell asleep unconsciously.
Xiaolian hurriedly took off her coat, shoes and socks, wiped her face and hands with a soft towel twisted in hot water, and then covered her with a quilt.
Xin You slept until early the next morning, when she opened her eyes and saw Xiao Lian with bloodshot eyes.
"Girl, if you don't wake up, I will call the doctor."
It’s been so scary since I slept in yesterday afternoon!
Xin You rubbed her brows and felt the headache of a hangover. She smiled apologetically at Xiao Lian and said, "If I drink too much, I will fall asleep for a long time."
"Are you really drunk?" Xiaolian quickly poured a glass of warm water over and asked curiously.
"What?" Xin You drank the water in several gulps.
"You didn't even look like you had a drink yesterday."
"Well, my wine tastes better, and you can't tell on the surface—" Xin You paused, and various memories of yesterday emerged.
She drinks really well, and not only can she pretend to be nonchalant, but she also doesn't suffer from "amnesia."
Damn it, there is no "amnesia"!
Xin You fell down on the bed and stared at the tent ceiling with blank eyes.
Xiaolian was startled: "Girl, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, alive." Xin You closed her eyes and answered weakly.
If Xinyou was so embarrassed that she was hopeless after waking up, Prince Qing was furious.
"Young bastard, you dare to make me look embarrassed!" King Qing was so angry that he kicked down a high table, and the precious vase placed on the high table shattered to pieces.
As long as Prince Qing thought about the humiliation at the banquet, he wanted to tear Xin You into pieces like this vase.
Faced with Prince Qing's venting, no one in the audience dared to stop him. They lowered their heads silently and lowered their sense of presence.
After finally overturning the table, Prince Qing stopped, breathing heavily.
"Your Highness, please drink some water."
"Go away!" Prince Qing pushed the person away and ordered him with a stern look on his face, "I will keep an eye on the outside these days to see if anyone mentions this matter!"
Prince Qing's worry was not unfounded. Although this matter did not spread to everyone, it spread among the circle of nobles and nobles, and it had a tendency to spread.
After hearing this, Duan Shaoqing went to Ruyi Hall and told the old lady about Xin You's bastard.
"A girl is drinking with a prince, what will others think of our Shaoqing's house!"
The old lady lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea.
No wonder there are suddenly fewer people calling to marry my granddaughter.
