Chapter 630 - The First Kiss Was (1/2)

As she spoke, Helian Wei Wei leaned over and pecked Baili Jia Jue on the corner of his lips.

However, the young man’s eyes turned frigid in that moment.

It was a no-brainer.

Who did she take him for?

Instead of rage, what he felt was the feeling of emptiness within his heart.

Without any warning, the young man withdrew his hand as he stared down at her in a condescending manner. His tone was dark and cold, “When I allowed you to return, it wasn’t so that you could slack on your job. You better learn the ropes on becoming a palace maid.”

By the time when Helian Wei Wei’s fingers touched the floor, she was wide awake. She frowned in confusion as she looked into his emotionless eyes.

Even though it was in the middle of the night, she was being ordered about. Not only was she instructed to pour tea for him, but she was also made to grind ink.

Helian Wei Wei did not find these tasks troublesome, but she disliked the feeling of being treated as a palace maid.

Especially when she had to prepare lunch to fete His Highness’ confidante on the next day.

Helian Wei Wei felt that the entire world was simply filled with malice.

“This is spicy, I can’t eat this.” The lady in plain-colored clothes gazed at the boiled fish served by Helian Wei Wei and shook her head awkwardly. She was not being pretentious, rather, she really could not handle spicy food at all.

But Helian Wei Wei was calm and unfazed. As if wind spun from the heart of her palm, a surge of force exerted from her slender and pale fingers which sent the dishes flying into the air.

She immediately followed up with a gentle pat on the tabletop.

In a blink of an eye, the dishes landed back on the tabletop without any traces of spillage, the only difference being an altered layout of the dishes.

When the lady in plain-colored clothes saw this, her eyes were filled with astonishment, “You… With such plentiful martial Qi, you would be a first-cla.s.s winner if you partic.i.p.ated in a compet.i.tion!”

There was also a change to the calmness within Baili Jia Jue’s eyes. His fingers tightened around the chopsticks that he was holding.

All these years, he had been ignoring a question intentionally.

It was about how she avoided the guards in the imperial palace and disappeared back then.

At last, he had come to realization. Based on the agile trick she pulled just now, if she wanted to escape, none of the guards outside the royal chamber could stop her at all…

“Your Highness, Your Highness…” The lady in plain-colored clothes called him gently. She had obviously noticed the change in him and a sense of trepidation was evoked within her eyes.

“Hmm?” Baili Jia Jue replied, even his gaze toward her was soft. Naturally, this would make all the bystanders envious.

But only the lady in plain-colored clothes knew that kind of gentleness would be fake as time pa.s.sed.

Since she had known him, people had feared him except during his childhood.

Later, he always acted chivalrous with a refined manner toward her. Not once did he get angry or moody before her.

Everyone said that he had given her all of his patience.

Truthfully, this kind of patience seemed forced…

“It’s nothing.” The young lady had forgotten what she wanted to say. Adding to her feeling of dread towards him since young, she was particularly cautious whenever she dealt with Baili Jia Jue.

As Nangong Lie watched from the side, the corner of his mouth lifted, “Ah Jue, have you found the thing you lost?”

“No.” Baili Jia Jue replied monotonously as he wiped the corner of his mouth with a white handkerchief in his hand.

Nangong Lie glanced at Helian Wei Wei who was standing there, his smile became more apparent, “Well then, you better look for it carefully. Say, Ah Jue, that day was probably your first time being intimate with a woman right?”

Upon hearing this, both men did not change their facial expressions. However, the young lady reacted greatly as she flushed pink from both of her cheeks right down to her neck.

Baili Jia Jue looked up inattentively and met with Nangong Lie’s smiling lips before uttering a single word from his mouth, “No.”

“Oh?” Nangong Lie thought that he had it right. But upon hearing Baili Jia Jue’s reply, the light within his eyes changed. He glanced over at the blus.h.i.+ng maiden at the side, “Really, you… You guys have kissed before?”
