Chapter 70
“I didn’t even manage to hit her before she fell. She was clearly trying to put on a pretense! Your Highness, don’t be fooled by her!”
A chill appeared in Xiao Juan’s black eyes. “Did I ask you?”
Yang Xianrong trembled as fear overwhelmed her.
She shut her mouth awkwardly, afraid to make another sound.
Yu Niaoniao naturally would not let go of this great opportunity to complain.
She spoke pitifully.
“Although I wasn’t hit, I was frightened. Miss Yang’s slap just now was terrifying. It was as if she wanted to knock my head off. If I hadn’t dodged quickly, I might have been disfigured.
The emperor had decreed that I should marry the duke next month and yet Miss Yang wanted to ruin my face at a time like this. I wonder what she was thinking?”
Yang Xianrong glared at her angrily.
Yu Niaoniao seemed to have been greatly frightened. She immediately moved to Xiao Juan’s side, tugged at his clothes, and said timidly.
“Your Highness, look. She even dared to be so fierce to me in front of you. You don’t know how she bullied me in private. You have to seek justice for me.”
Yang Xianrong was furious at her pretentious appearance.
However, Duke Lang had yet to speak, so Yang Xianrong did not dare to speak. She could only glare at Yu Qianqian.
If her gaze could materialize into action, Yu Niaoniao would have been shot into a sieve by now.
Xiao Juan looked down at the woman who was grabbing the hem of his clothes. He thought to himself that she was quite obedient today and did not call him “Baby” again.
He said solemnly, “Stand up first.”
Yu Niaoniao raised her head and blinked her big eyes at him innocently and pitifully.
“But my legs are weak from fear. I need Your Highness to hold my hand.”
Xiao Juan was speechless.
How distressing. She was wheedling again.
So many people around were watching, especially the crowd outside the door. They looked at Duke Lang and Yu Niaoniao without blinking, wanting to see if this rumored couple was really having an affair or if the rumors were exaggerated.
Seeing that he was not moving, Yu Niaoniao’s mind raced as she recalled the last time he had asked her to call him a treasure.
Well, it looked like the sweetness wasn’t enough. She had to add more. If she called him “Baby” a few times, he should be able to reach out.
Therefore, Yu Niaoniao opened her cherry lips slightly and the word “Baby” was already on her lips.
Looking at her mouth, Xiao Juan knew what she was going to shout.
Before his head could react, his hand reached out and grabbed Yu Niaoniao’s claws. With a little force, he pulled her up from the ground.
Yu Niaoniao immediately smiled like a brilliant sunflower, and the words on her lips changed.
“Thank you, Your Highness!”
Xiao Juan was secretly glad that he had stopped her in time and not let her say that word in front of outsiders.
The onlookers outside the door took in this scene and came to the same conclusion. If these two didn’t have an affair, they swore they would collectively do a flashmob handstand!
Yu Pingping was still held down and could not move. She called her sister softly, reminding her not to forget about her. Only then did Yu Niaoniao remember that her sister was still lying on the ground.
She immediately pushed Ji Wenjing and Wan Jiatong away and bent down to help Yu Pingping.
Yu Pingping was touched. At the critical moment, her biological sister was the best! At this moment, in her eyes, her sister seemed to be enveloped in a holy glow.
However, in the next moment, her thigh was pinched hard by her sister.
The pain was overwhelming!
Yu Pingping trembled from the stimulation and immediately burst into tears.
Wahhhhh!
It hurts!!
