Chapter 270 - Interlacing of Ten Fingers
”This King never knew that wangfei would have such feelings!” Xiao Qingqian could not help but laugh and retort.
Wei Qing frowned, ”Am I that kind of woman with a venomous heart in your eyes?”
”It might have been in the beginning, but now it isn't!”
After all, not many people could cry so bitterly over a wolfhound.
”Tell me, will the county magistrate really send the dog general to the Prince Chu’s Mansion?” Wei Qing felt that the atmosphere was not right and quickly changed the topic.
”Do you think This King is just decorating?” Xiao Qingqian asked instead of answering.
”You're not just for show, but it's a dog after all.”
”A dog that This King has taken a fancy to is no ordinary dog!” Xiao Qingqian led his horse and arrived at an inn, ”Let's leave it here, it looks pretty good!”
Wei Qing raised her eyes, and looked at the huge board, ”Ok.”
The waiter saw that the two of them were well-dressed and had an extraordinary temperament, so he quickly came out and greeted them. ”Are you two here to eat or to stay in the restaurant?”
Xiao Qingqian said: ”A good room ….”
Before he finished speaking, Wei Qing immediately followed up: ”Two!”
Xiao Qingqian's face darkened, ”One room!”
Wei Qing fiercely glared at him, ”Two!”
”One room!”
The waiter looked at Xiao Qingqian and then looked at Wei Qing. His neck was feeling extremely uncomfortable.
”Two!” Wei Qing was like a cockroach, ”Just two!”
Xiao Qingqian gritted his teeth as he stared at her, ”Either one or you sleep on the streets!”
With that, the shopkeeper hastily said, ”You two, we only have one room left!”
”What did you say?” Wei Qing's face darkened as she stared unwaveringly at the shopkeeper. Then, her gaze slowly shifted to Xiao Qingqian's face, which had a slight smile on it.
After seeing through Wei Qing with a glance, the shopkeeper's lips stiffened as he said, ”This madam might not know, but this period of time just so happens to be a traditional festival in this town. As a result, the room was relatively tense. If you do not plan to take this room, I'm afraid you will lose it in a moment! ”
Traditional festivals?!
Wei Qing frowned, her face full of curiosity.
Xiao Qingqian took the chance while she was in a daze to have the shopkeeper give him the key to the door.
Wei Qing snapped back to reality, ”Is it you?”
Xiao Qingqian raised his eyebrows, ”If you don't come up, then you can only sleep on the ground!”
Wei Qing's face was filled with regret as she quickly chased after her.
Just as he was about to catch up with Xiao Qingqian, his feet slipped and he almost fell to the ground.
Xiao Qingqian's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly rushed towards her. Just before she was about to fall to the ground, he reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Just as Wei Qing was panicking, she patted her chest and said, ”Xiao Qingqian, are you purposely colluding with the shopkeeper?”
The corner of Xiao Qingqian's brows twitched twice. ”How could I possibly do such a thing?”
”Haven't you done enough dishonorable things?”
Xiao Qingqian coughed, ”Keep a low profile.”
The two of them went back to their room. Wei Qing frowned as she looked at the bustling streets outside the window.
”What kind of traditional festival is this?”
”If you want to know, then call the waiter over.” With that, he opened the door and called for the waiter.
After the waiter told them the origins of the festival, Wei Qing nodded her head repeatedly.
