As long as it was a woman, she would love beauty. Yu Niaoniao was naturally no exception.

When she heard Wei Liao’s words, she immediately became nervous. “Ah Juan, do I look ugly now? Am I disfigured by the fire? Show me a mirror.” Xiao Juan glanced at Wei Liao coldly, warning him not to speak nonsense.

Xiao Juan stroked Yu Niaoniao’s head and comforted her.

“Don’t worry, the ointment Little Lo made for you is special. As long as you follow the instructions and change the dressing on time, and don’t let the wound get wet or crack, it won’t leave a scar.”

Lo Pingsha reminded him, “You have to be careful about your food. Don’t eat recklessly.”

Xiao Juan asked him to make a list of food that she needed to avoid.

Lo Pingsha immediately found a brush and paper and wrote a long list on the spot.

Things like seafood, beef, and mutton could not be eaten. Spicy food like chili had to be avoided as much as possible.

Yu Niaoniao glanced at the names of the ingredients on the list and immediately felt her vision darken.

How could she live if she could not eat so much?!

Wei Liao gloated and deliberately said, “In order to celebrate our quelling the rebellion and killing the bandit leader, County Governor Wang specially prepared a sumptuous banquet for us.”

“The time is set for tonight. At that time, all the famous figures in Jinwu City would come. It is said that there would be many famous local delicacies at the banquet. Do you want to come and play?”

Yu Niaoniao’s eyes were filled with desire.

She wanted to go! She really wanted to go!

Xiao Juan originally wanted to persuade her to lie in the house and recuperate in peace, but when he met her pitiful gaze, his heart softened.

“If you want to go, come with us.”

Yu Niaoniao’s eyes immediately lit up. She pounced on him and hugged his waist. “Ah Juan, you’re so good to me. I love you to death!”

Xiao Juan quickly held her shoulder, afraid that she would bump into the wounds on her body.

Lo Pingsha coughed lightly. “I’ll get someone to customize a wheelchair for the Princess Consort. This way, it’ll be easier for her to travel.”

With that, he ran out.

He didn’t want to stay here and be forced to witness their public displays of affection anymore.

Wei Liao originally wanted to pique Yu Niaoniao with the banquet, but he did not expect Xiao Juan to agree to bring her to the banquet.

He looked at the clingy couple and was very unhappy. He turned around and left.

Yu Niaoniao still remembered the mirror. She urged Xiao Juan to get her a mirror.

Xiao Juan took the mirror from the dressing table.

He helped hold the mirror up. Yu Niaoniao leaned in front of it and examined it from left to right. She realized that not only were her limbs and body wrapped in gauze but even her head was wrapped in gauze. Only her eyes, nose, and mouth were revealed.

She couldn’t help but sigh.

“Looks like Wei Liao was right. I’m really a little scary.”

She could act as a mummy without putting on makeup.

Xiao Juan was afraid that she would be sad, so he hurriedly comforted her.

“Don’t worry. It’ll be fine after a while.”

Yu Niaoniao deliberately teased him.

“Then if the scars remain and I become an ugly person in the future, will you still want me?”

Xiao Juan said seriously, “No matter what you become, you’re the best-looking in my heart.”

Yu Niaoniao’s heart immediately felt as if it had been filled with honey, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up.

Ever since they quarreled last time, Xiao Juan had not said anything nice to her.

Now, he was finally enlightened. He was no longer as distant as before.

Yu Niaoniao raised her head and pretended not to have heard him.

“What are you talking about? I didn’t hear you clearly. Say it again.”

Xiao Juan forcefully changed the topic.

“I haven’t showered in a few days. I still have to go to the dinner party tonight. I have to take a shower and change. Go to sleep.” With that, he turned and walked out.

Yu Niaoniao shouted at his back.

“I just asked you to say a few pleasant words. Why are you running?”

When Xiao Juan heard her words, he walked faster.

From the back, he actually looked like he was fleeing.

Yu Niaoniao laughed until she fell back.

In the end, extreme joy turned to sorrow. She accidentally pulled on her wound, causing her to shiver in pain and immediately not dare to move again.

Xiao Juan returned quickly.

He had changed. The end of his hair was still wet. There was some moisture between his eyebrows.

He walked to the bed and saw that Niaoniao was already asleep.

She was just lying on the bed with no blanket over her. Her head was tilted to the side, and her small mouth was slightly open. She looked like she was sleeping soundly.

Xiao Juan picked up the blanket and gently covered her.

Then he sat on the edge of the bed. As he looked at her quietly, his eyes were filled with yearning.

He had almost lost her forever.

Every time he thought of this, he felt a lingering fear.

In the past, he had always felt that death was very far away from him. He did not feel any sense of urgency, so he could lie to himself with a clear conscience. He felt that it did not matter even if Niaoniao did not like him.

However, after this matter, Xiao Juan suddenly felt a strong sense of urgency.

Life was short. What if someone between him and Niaoniao had to leave this world forever in the future?

He couldn’t waste any more time. He had to cherish every moment he spent with Niaoniao.

Even if he was going to die in the future, he could not leave any regrets for himself.

Xiao Juan’s fingers gently brushed past the tip of Yu Niaoniao’s nose.

He bent down close to Yu Niaoniao’s face.

Just as his lips were about to touch her face, she suddenly rolled over.

In the end, she accidentally pressed on the wound. She woke up from her dream in pain and cried out.

Xiao Juan hurriedly asked.

“Where does it hurt? Let me see.’

Yu Niaoniao wheedled, “My arm hurts.”

Xiao Juan carefully checked the gauze on her arm and did not find any bleeding.

“Fortunately, the wound didn’t open.”

Yu Niaoniao continued to moan. “It hurts.”

Xiao Juan said, “Why don’t I get Little Lo to prescribe you some painkillers?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “No, just blow on it for me.”

Xiao Juan had no choice but to lower his head to blow on her wounds.

“Does it still hurt?”

Yu Niaoniao pursed her lips and smiled. “Yes, much better.”

Xiao Juan said, “Lie down properly and try not to move.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “1 was asleep. How could I control myself? Why don’t you sleep beside me? That way, you can watch me and not let me move?” With that, she even smiled obediently to show that she was harmless.

Xiao Juan said, “I’m not sleepy.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “You haven’t slept for three days. How can you not be sleepy?

Come and lie down. Don’t force me to beg you.”

Xiao Juan had no choice but to take off his coat and lie down beside her.

He lifted the blanket for her. “Go to sleep.”

Yu Niaoniao obediently closed her eyes.

Just as Xiao Juan thought that she was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard her ask coldly.

“You were sneaking around just now. Did you want to do something to me?”

Xiao Juan was speechless..
