Chapter 255 Yun Yao Yao (5)

"Look up at me, let me get a good look at you."

Hearing this, Qin Jiujiu raised her head and looked at the woman seated above.

This woman gradually overlapped with the woman she had seen in Wang Shuyyao's dream, and then they merged together.

Even the voice was exactly the same.

"Niangniang..."

Yun Yaoyao made a shushing gesture, interrupting Qin Jiujiu.

"Do you like Xie Jing?"

This sudden question startled Qin Jiujiu.

Thump! Thump!

"Host, are you meeting the parents?"

The system suddenly appeared, making her jump in surprise.

"Get lost!"

It would have been better if it hadn't appeared, Qin Jiujiu thought.

The system pouted, "Host, do you dare say you don't like the big villain?"

"Go do whatever you need to do!"

Only after the system's voice disappeared did Qin Jiujiu look at Yun Yaoyao.

"Niangniang, I..."

"Don't call me that!" Yun Yaoyao suddenly covered her ears, her eyes also turning red.

Yun Yaoyao had indeed changed a lot!

"Jiujiu, come forward."

Seeing that Qin Jiujiu seemed frightened by her, Yun Yaoyao returned to her normal demeanor and smiled at her as if to reassure her.

She then beckoned her closer, indicating for her to sit beside her.

Qin Jiujiu, with no other choice, walked forward.

"Closer," her voice was soft, with a mesmerizing quality.

Underneath her incredibly beautiful appearance and voice, Qin Jiujiu found herself sitting beside her for some reason.

A hand suddenly touched her face.

"Niang..." Qin Jiujiu realized she had spoken incorrectly and quickly stopped herself.

She happened to meet Yun Yaoyao's eyes, which were full of satisfaction.

"That's right, call me that!"

As if appeased, she completely ignored Qin Jiujiu's embarrassment, her face blushing all the way to her neck.

Qin Jiujiu dared not make a sound.

"You are a clever girl. At your age, I was just beginning to understand love. Back then, the first time I saw Xie Jing's father, it was love at first sight..."

Qin Jiujiu was slightly astonished, not expecting Yun Yaoyao to tell her this.

Even more unexpectedly, she had so directly admitted that Xie Jing was her son.

"A Qing was riding a horse next to my elder brother. I saw him at a glance."

As if recalling a beautiful memory, Yun Yaoyao's eyes sparkled with life.

It was as if she had returned to that time...

Qin Jiujiu couldn't bear to interrupt Yun Yaoyao and let her recount the story of the past.

"Niangniang, there is a young man at the door requesting an audience!"

A maid entered, her movements hurried.

Yun Yaoyao said without hesitation, "Please invite him in."

Just as the maid was about to turn away, she added, "Give orders to prepare some pastries and bring them over, especially apricot blossom crisp, prepare plenty!"

Qin Jiujiu was slightly stunned, but Yun Yaoyao explained, "Our A Jing loved pastries when he was young, and his favorite was apricot blossom crisp."

However, Qin Jiujiu remembered that Xie Jing never touched such sweet things.

The little maid, having received the order, immediately left.

Before leaving, however, she met up with another young eunuch.

"Go and report to His Majesty that a man and a woman have come to Niangniang's palace, and they look quite unfamiliar..."

Although Yun Yaoyao could move freely within the palace, her every action was actually under surveillance.

Yun Yaoyao clearly knew Sheng Huaizhi's character, but she didn't seem to care much.

She was not unaware of Sheng Huaizhi's intentions!

Since he had seen A Jing, he would recognize who he was at a glance. With his temperament, he would surely cut the grass and remove the roots!

Xie Jing's cold eyes swept over Qin Jiujiu, and then he bowed to the woman seated above.

"Wait! You don't need to be so formal in front of me!"

Qin Jiujiu noticed that Yun Yaoyao referred to herself as "I."

She remembered that even when she was still Princess Yun Chao, she used "this princess" or "this palace" for herself. Why had such an arrogant princess become so approachable?

Xie Jing did not bow further, but his gaze remained fixed on Qin Jiujiu, not looking at Yun Yaoyao at all.

"I knew it. As long as you came, he would definitely come to see me..."

Qin Jiujiu: ...

Yun Yaoyao leaned close to Qin Jiujiu's ear and continued, "Just kidding."

Qin Jiujiu looked at Yun Yaoyao with confusion, while the latter wore a smile.

"I was genuinely curious about what kind of young girl my A Jing liked. After seeing you today, I understand a little."

In Wang Shuyyao's memories, something bad would always happen after Yun Yaoyao smiled, but now, her smile inexplicably made Qin Jiujiu feel gentle.

It was truly like a mother's gentle smile towards her child.

"Little Jiujiu, you go ahead~"

Qin Jiujiu stood up and walked towards Xie Jing.

Yun Yaoyao also got up, "Jiujiu promised me she would stay for dinner, okay~"

Qin Jiujiu could only nod helplessly, meeting Xie Jing's gloomy gaze.

The little maid quickly brought the pastries, and the three sat around the table. Awkwardly, Qin Jiujiu was sandwiched between the mother and son.

She could only eat the pastries in her hand, bite by bite.

"Jiujiu likes pastries too, it seems..."

Seeing a few stray hairs from Qin Jiujiu's forehead about to enter her mouth, Yun Yaoyao reached out to help her tidy them.

Xie Jing, with swift reflexes, had already grasped Yun Yaoyao's wrist.

He squeezed her hand with considerable force.

Soon, a large red mark appeared on Yun Yaoyao's fair wrist.

"Xie Jing, let go!"

Seeing this, Qin Jiujiu quickly reached for Xie Jing's hand, and he finally released it.

He then took Qin Jiujiu's hand in his and walked out of the room.

Yun Yaoyao watched their retreating backs, her eyes turning blood red.

It seemed this meal would not be eaten...

Ultimately, she had been too greedy.

Yun Yaoyao curved her lips slightly, her alluring lips like a poisoned rose, gleaming enticingly.

As Sheng Huaizhi entered, he saw Yun Yaoyao sitting at the table, eating apricot blossom crisp.

He walked over and embraced her from behind.

Sensing her presence, Sheng Huaizhi closed his eyes, savoring all the beauty.

He rubbed gently against her neck, his hands tightly supporting her slender waist.

"Your Majesty, it is daytime now."

A chilling voice pierced his ears, shattering his beautiful dream.

Almost instantly, Sheng Huaizhi's eyes flew open.

"I am your husband. What does it matter if it is daytime?"

Yun Yaoyao's expression turned as dark as ink in an instant, filled with immense hatred, as if to swallow Sheng Huaizhi whole.

But he seemed oblivious.

"Has Your Majesty forgotten? My husband is Xie Qing. You are the murderer of my husband!"

The redness in Yun Yaoyao's eyes stung Sheng Huaizhi's eyes deeply. In an instant, he covered her eyes.

Then, a flurry of kisses fell upon Yun Yaoyao's lips.

But the person in his arms did not respond at all, like a cold corpse.

Yun Yaoyao gritted her teeth, preventing him from succeeding.

He bit her lip, not too hard, as if punishing her, yet unwilling to inflict too much pain.

The taste of blood filled their mouths. Sheng Huaizhi suddenly came to his senses and immediately released Yun Yaoyao.

She had bitten her tongue!

"Yaoyao, let go quickly! I was wrong..."

The hatred in Yun Yaoyao's eyes seemed uncontrollable at this moment, surging towards him like a tidal wave.

Sheng Huaizhi's heart felt as if it had plummeted into an abyss.
