Chu Lian held up the cup of mead and took a small sip. Just like the swirling of the golden mead within the snow white porcelain cup, Chu Lian’s heart also slowly lost its calm.
She had a faint inkling that what happened just now seemed a little strange.
Why would Royal Princess Duanjia suddenly have a stomachache? They had clearly eaten the exact same foods. However, Royal Princess Duanjia’s expression hadn’t seemed fake.
It felt like she had unknowingly landed in someone’s net.
The more she thought about it, the faster Chu Lian’s heart beat. Her face suddenly turned pale. She turned to Xiyan, who was standing next to her, and was about to mention leaving a little early. However, the moment she turned around, her eyes met with the gaze of Xiao Bojian.
Chu Lian’s pupils abruptly shrunk and she was stunned for a moment. Why would Xiao Bojian appear here?
Xiao Bojian hadn’t expected to meet Chu Lian’s gaze the moment he passed the screen at the entrance of the room. The coincidence made it seem like their thoughts were connected. With that thought in mind, his heart couldn’t help but melt.
“Lian’er!”
Chu Lian: ……
How could she have such rotten luck?! Darn it!
Chu Lian inwardly snapped curse after curse to the high heavens.
Nothing good ever happened when she ran into Xiao Bojian. Previously, she had managed to escape him at the Dingyuan Estate. But evidently, that luck didn’t last for long. She just had to bump into him here. Was the story ever going to let her live her life in peace? She wasn’t the original ‘Chu Lian’! Deceptively pretty, carnivorous Venus flytraps weren’t her type.
It was too dangerous to like someone like Xiao Bojian; you wouldn’t know when you’d be sold for his own selfish benefits.
Although Chu Lian was completely frustrated and unhappy on the inside, after she got over the initial shock of seeing Xiao Bojian here, her heart slowly regained its inner calm.
She wasn’t the original ‘Chu Lian’, who might have gotten flustered over this guy’s appearance. Judging from the situation, Royal Princess Duanjia’s sudden departure must have had something to do with him.
Xiyan’s soul almost left her body when she heard Xiao Bojian’s sweet call of ‘Lian’er’.
She turned and stared dazedly at the tall gentleman standing by the screen.
Xiyan had a stronger reaction than Chu Lian; her entire body stiffened. She couldn’t believe that Mister Xiao had appeared here at Defeng Teahouse of all places. Furthermore, in Third Young Madam and Royal Princess Duanjia’s private room!
Chu Lian had already stood up by now. Xiao Bojian’s greedy eyes were locked onto her.
After so many days apart, he eagerly looked at his ‘lover’: she was dressed in a light yellow dress with a light blue outer layer embroidered with flowers. She carried a small green pouch at her waist, together with a thousand blessings jade amulet. Her fingers looked long and slender.
