Chapter 922: Chapter 922: What Do You Disagree With?
Entering the private room, He Jinxuan, who had already ordered the dishes, was trying to placate her: "Yanyan, I really feel wronged."
Xinyan naturally believed him, but she didn’t intend to let him off the hook so easily. She was somewhat perplexed; even though he wasn’t particularly handsome, he somehow attracted so much attention, which really irked her.
He Jinxuan saw Xinyan down her tea like it was alcohol and quickly poured her another cup: "I do know Mei Xueshan, but only in passing since she always appears, trailing behind Jian Minru.
Whatever she’s plotting, I truly don’t know. If it weren’t for Qu Aiting’s indiscretion today, I wouldn’t even be aware of this matter."
Xinyan hadn’t said a word, which made him truly anxious: "Yanyan, you’re not really going to send me to the cold palace because of those people’s words, are you?
If you do, you’d be falling for their trap. Quarreling over a few words from others isn’t wise."
Upon hearing this, Xinyan turned to look at him, intentionally asking, "So you mean I can pretend I didn’t hear anything and not care about their words?"
He Jinxuan felt a bit soured by Xinyan’s comment; how could the little girl be so awkward?
After a moment, he reacted: "No, I don’t agree?"
Xinyan picked up her teacup: "Disagree with what?"
He Jinxuan snatched the teacup from Xinyan’s hand: "Not only should you care about me, but you have to believe in me too."
His face showed such sincerity that Xinyan found it amusing: "You’re such a tough guy, where did you learn these things?"
He Jinxuan said seriously: "I didn’t learn from anyone, Yanyan. I don’t want you to get upset over baseless rumors, but I also don’t want you to hear those words and have no reaction at all. Having a reaction shows you care about me; it seems really contradictory."
Xinyan could naturally sense his mood: "Alright, I trust you. I won’t doubt you because of others’ words, but since we’re engaged, we should always be mindful of our status, keeping some distance from those who might have ulterior motives to avoid unnecessary trouble."
After pausing for a moment, she continued: "You know me; I dread troubles the most."
He Jinxuan agreed earnestly: "Yanyan, making promises is just talk; you should watch how I act in the future."
Xinyan beamed brightly: "Okay."
He Jinxuan was about to say more when the dishes arrived. He Jinxuan said: "Today there’s roast lamb chops; eat more."
Xinyan was truly hungry now. The aroma was tantalizing to her.
These two were having a lovely time, but the atmosphere on the other side wasn’t so good.
Unexpectedly, Lu Changjun was invited by the Qu Family, and now Qu Aiting was glaring coldly at Lu Changjun.
Mr. Qu, not knowing what happened before, had given his daughter several eye signals, but got no response, leaving him furious enough to want to knock open his own daughter’s head to see what she’s thinking.
The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward.
Thankfully, the dishes came out quickly on this side too, and Qu’s mother stepped in to smooth things over: "Changjun, the steamed ribs with millet here are really good, try some."
Lu Changjun didn’t expect that his own family invited him to the banquet with other intentions, and he wasn’t inclined to leave abruptly, instead responding politely while pondering an excuse to leave soon.
The idea of matching him with Qu Aiting was absurd to him.
That wasn’t just what he thought; Qu Aiting was even bolder, directly saying: "I didn’t expect the person you were inviting today was him. If you had other intentions, I advise you to give up early, he and I are absolutely impossible."
Before Lu Changjun could say anything else, Qu Aiting added: "Not to mention he’s in the south while I work in Beijing. What are you thinking?"
Mr. Qu disapproved of his daughter’s words: "How can you talk like that."
After saying that, he looked at Lu Changjun, who hadn’t spoken a word the whole time: "Changjun, Aiting has been spoiled by us, don’t take her too seriously."
Lu Changjun glanced at Qu Aiting who was still glaring at him, feeling the urge to tease her: "Her straightforward personality is quite nice."
Upon hearing this, Qu Aiting was instantly enraged: "What do you mean by that?"
