Chapter 395 - Chapter 395: Cold



This was the first time Xiao Juan had said such harsh words to Yu Niaoniao since they got married.

She stood rooted to the ground, aggrieved. Tears rolled down her face.

Unexpectedly, she really cried. Xiao Juan immediately panicked.

Yu Niaoniao tried not to cry.

She inhaled hard and choked.

“I admit that I had some thoughts when I first approached you.”

“But after really understanding you, I had already forgotten those thoughts. I’m good to you because I think you’re really good. You deserve all the good things!”

“I knew I had done something wrong today. I had done something wrong. I would accept any punishment.”

“But you can’t say that about me. You can’t degrade me to nothing!”

As she spoke, she squatted down, hugged her knees, buried her face in her arms, and cried.

Xiao Juan strode up the stairs and reached out to hug her. His fingers paused when they touched her before he retracted them. Since the sweet words she said were fake…

Since she didn’t really like him…

He couldn’t touch her casually.

Xiao Juan said, “Stop crying.”

Yu Niaoniao looked up, revealing her tear-stained face.

She looked at the man in front of her and spoke in a sobbing voice.

“Do you think I’m a very bad and scheming person who deliberately approached you with a motive?”

“But have you thought about it? I didn’t know you then. I didn’t know what you were like at all. How can I marry you with all my love?”

“When you first met me, didn’t you suspect that I deliberately set up rumors?”

Xiao Juan was not misled by her words. Instead, he calmly pointed out the key points.

“Even so, you shouldn’t have lied to me.” That was what he cared about most.

She always said how much she admired him, but that was not the case in her heart.

However, he took it seriously and foolishly believed her nonsense.

Yu Niaoniao could not refute.

Although she felt that the lies she had told were insignificant, lying was ultimately wrong.

She wiped her tears. “Then I apologize. I’m sorry. I won’t lie to you again.”

Xiao Juan said, “Stand up first.”

Yu Niaoniao snorted. “I can’t stand up. My feet are numb.”

She held out her hand, wanting him to help her.

However, Xiao Juan did not move.

He said, “You can slowly stand up with the handrail beside you.”

Yu Niaoniao glared at him with wide eyes.

He was right in front of her, and he actually wanted her to hold the armrest?

Did he really not want to touch her that much?!

Yu Niaoniao was aggrieved and angry.

Her rebellious nature was triggered.

Hmph, the more he didn’t want to touch her, the more she wanted to touch him!

Yu Niaoniao held the railing of the stairs and stood up with difficulty. Then, she pretended to be unsteady and pounced on the man.

Xiao Juan was afraid that she would fall. This was the second floor. If she fell, something would definitely happen.

He grabbed Yu Niaoniao’s waist in time to help her stabilize her balance.

When she regained her balance, he immediately withdrew his hand and took two steps back to keep his distance from her.

“Let’s go out.”

Yu Niaoniao was furious at his polite and distant appearance.

She said angrily, “I twisted my ankle just now. I can’t walk. Help me down.” Xiao Juan looked at her feet.

Her feet were in shoes and socks and covered by the hem of her dress. It was impossible to see if she had really sprained them.

“Since you’re injured, stay here. I’ll get Little Lo to take a look at you.”

With that, he was about to leave.

Yu Niaoniao quickly stopped him.

“No need! I didn’t twist it very badly. There’s no need for that.”

Xiao Juan asked, “Then can you leave?”

Yu Niaoniao gritted her teeth. “I can walk!”

Damn man, he was ruthless!

She followed Xiao Juan down the stairs and left the Qianji Building.

Coincidentally, Meng Xizhou had finished his business and came over. When he saw Duke Lang and his wife, he immediately bowed to them. Then, he realized that Yu Niaoniao’s eyes were red and her eyelashes were wet. It was obvious that she had just cried.

Meng Xizhou asked with concern.

“What’s wrong with the Princess Consort? Who bullied you?”

Yu Niaoniao could not say that she had just quarreled with Xiao Juan and cried.

It was too embarrassing to say.

She pretended to smile naturally.

“I’m fine. The sand blinded my eyes. I’m just a little uncomfortable.”

As a straight man who had been single for many years, Meng Xizhou did not realize that Yu Niaoniao was lying at all.

He said hurriedly, “Then get someone to blow on it quickly. Otherwise, my eyes will feel more and more uncomfortable.”

With that, he winked at Duke Lang, meaning, “Why are you still standing? Hurry up and blow the dust out for the Princess Consort!” Xiao Juan said expressionlessly.

“Are you very free? Have you finished what you’re doing?”

Meng Xizhou said, “N-no.”

Xiao Juan said, “Then why aren’t you busy with your matters?”

As slow as Meng Xizhou was, he also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere between Duke Lang and his wife.

He didn’t dare say another word. He slipped away.

Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan went to Mirror House.

However, just as Yu Niaoniao sat down, she saw Xiao Juan walking out.

She asked hurriedly, “Where are you going?”

Xiao Juan said without looking back.

“Something’s up.”

With that, he strode out the door.

Yu Niaoniao stared blankly at the door until the man completely disappeared from her sight. She still could not come back to her senses.

From the moment he appeared in the Qianji Building, his attitude tow had changed.

In the past, although he seemed cold, he was very tolerant of her. He t of her in various details of life. When she was with him, she could feel ease.

But it was different now.

Putting aside the argument between the two of them in the Qianji Buil Xiao Juan did not even look at her on the way from the Qianji Building Mirror House.

Even when she took the initiative to find a topic of conversation, his rc was cold.

She wanted to approach him as usual and wheedle and act cute with h he avoided her.

Not only that, but he would always keep a distance from her.

There seemed to be an invisible membrane between them.

She was clearly in front of him, but his heart was far away.

The more Yu Niaoniao thought about it, the sadder she became. Her te again.

“I’ve already admitted my mistake. What else do you want?”

At Qianji Building, the two Eagle Guards guarding the door were surprised to see Duke Lang return.

“Why are you back?”

Xiao Juan casually replied, “I left something in the building.”

He took the lantern from the Eagle Guard and strode into the Qianji Building, heading straight for the top floor.

He took out the key he carried, unlocked the copper lock, and pushed through the door.

There were far fewer dossiers stored on this floor than on the first. They were all placed in separate drawers, and each drawer was locked. If the lock was forcefully broken, it would trigger the mechanism to shoot poisonous arrows.

Xiao Juan took out his key and opened one of the boxes.

He took out the dossier stored inside and stuffed it into his sleeve. Then, he closed the door and left the Qianji Building without looking sideways. When Xiao Juan returned to Mirror House, he saw Niaoniao crying hard.

He panicked again. “Why are you crying?”

Yu Niaoniao did not expect him to return so quickly. She wiped her tears and said, “I thought you weren’t coming back.”

“I just went to get something.”

With that, he took out the scroll from his sleeve and gently placed it in front of Niaoniao.

“Don’t you want to know what I did in Jinguan City three years ago? The entire process is clearly recorded here. Look for yourself..”
