1133 Push? Or Not to Push? (1/2)
The moment this thought popped up, Jun Mo Xie instantly felt like he could no longer remain seated. He instructed the kitchen to prepare some dishes, then put it inside the Hongjun Pagoda along with some wine and slowly walked over to Mei Xue Yan's room.
Knock Knock Knock. Jun Mo Xie only knocked thrice when the door opened.
Mei Xue Yan held on the door with an ambiguous grin on her face, donned in pristine white robes, looking neat and tidy.
”Why are you not asleep yet?” Jun Mo Xie was very surprised. Mei Xue Yan looked as if she was intentionally waiting for him.
”I predicted that you were coming tonight.” Mei Xue Yan replied, loosening her grip on the door as she turned around and walked back in. ”Come in, close the door.” Then she sat on the bed and said, ”Coming over here today, what did you want to tell me?”
Jun Mo Xie rubbed his nose, knowing that Mei Xue Yan was feeling angry. He lowered his voice and said, ”Um, cough, I haven't eaten with you in a long time, so I specially made a few dishes for you. Since we are both free today, we can also have a good drink.”
Then, he pulled the small table in the room over and brought out the dishes from the Hongjun Pagoda. Instantly, the aroma of the food filled the air, wetting appetites.
”You came to find me so late at night, only for a drink?” Mei Xue Yan felt angry but amused. She maintained an icy expression on her face as she said, ”Then we can forget it, since it is nothing important, and it is already late, I am very tired and was planning to go to bed. You can hurry up and leave.”
Then, she blinked her eyes and said with a smile, ”Or perhaps you can go and enjoy yourself a little with your Miss Miao?”
Jun Mo Xie rubbed his nose and chuckled bitterly.
As expected, Mei Xue Yan was jealous.
There was no way a woman was not a jealous existence.
Acknowledging their fate was a matter, but being jealous… was another. There was no way they could be mentioned together.
Mei Xue Yan could help Jun Mo Xie do plenty of things and help him settle his harem and beauties, but this didn't mean that Mei Xue Yan would not be jealous…
Because ultimately, Mei Xue Yan was also a woman!
”Um, hehe, aren't I thinking of you now…” All of Young Master Jun's arrogance as the Evil Monarch instantly turned into boot-licking as he spoke submissively. ”Look at my little Xue Yan, she is so beautiful. Not seeing her for a few days made me miss her so much that my heart has been itching, and I cannot fall asleep ah…”
”Do I still not know you? You are used to spouting all these lies! These pretty lies may still work on Xiao Yi, Yan Meng, or Ke'er, but do you think that I will believe it?” Mei Xue Yan rolled her eyes and said icily. ”Let's not even talk about other things, just these four dishes alone… you are even saying that you made it yourself? What great cooking, ah, I'm honoured, but please excuse me for not accepting it!”
Jun Mo Xie opened his mouth very awkwardly as he shook his hands. FInally, he hung his head and said, ”Isn't it because I didn't have the time…” There was a tinge of hidden bitterness in his tone, making him sound just like a daughter-in-law that was bullied.
Mei Xue Yan almost burst out laughing, but she knew that this fellow's wacky behavior was in an attempt to make her softhearted so she would let him off lightly. But how could she just let him off like this? ”If you're really sincere then go and whip up some dishes on your own. The taste is not a big issue, as long as it is cooked by you personally, there's no harm in me accompanying you for a drink. If you aren't that sincere… then… Lord Jun, please go back, it is really late already.” She said coldly.
Jun Mo Xie quickly nodded his head aggressively. ”No problem! Isn't it just a few dishes! Even if it's the Manchu Han Imperial Festival, it's an easy feat for this Young Master…”
Then, he disappeared with a whoosh to whip up some dishes, leaving Mei Xue Yan alone in the room, feeling puzzled. She knitted her brows and muttered, ”What is Manchu Han Imperial Festival? What is that?!”
It wasn't long when Young Master Jun reappeared inside Xue Yan's room. With a turn of his hand, four new, piping hot dishes appeared. It didn't look too bad. Though it was incomparable to that of a chef, but it was truly not lacking in looks and fragrance.
But Mei Xue Yan still wore an icy expression as she quietly watched Jun Mo Xie's tricks. Perhaps if it were Dugu Xiao Yi or Han Yan Meng, they'd be subdued by Young Master Jun's 'miraculous' methods of bringing things out of thin air. But why would great beauty Mei Xue Yan be bothered by it, especially when she was already used to and well-aware of it. Wasn't he just bringing the things he had placed in that space out now? It wasn't worth exclaiming about!
Bringing out two wine cups, Jun Mo Xie filled it up with wine and sighed. ”Fine times, beautiful sceneries, sitting face-to-face with a beautiful woman. and drinking together is one of the greatest pleasures of life. ah. Xue Yan, what is wrong, why do you seem upset? Who has offended my precious Xue Yan! Tell your husband, your husband, I will stand up for you!”
Mei Xue Yan continued to wear a stoic expression as she replied, ”The wine is naturally good wine, after all, it is personally brewed by Lord Jun himself. But perhaps there is no need for a beautiful woman. Compared to all those other younger beauties, I am merely an ugly old woman. How important can the mood of an ugly woman get to warrant Lord Jun's concern? I'm overwhelmed by your Lordship's kindness ah…”
Mei Xue Yan may be saying that she was 'overwhelmed by the kindness', but her gorgeous face also turned colder and colder, making her even more alluring!
Jun Mo Xie said in surprise. ”Ah? If my precious little Xue Yan is an ugly old woman, then all the beauties that everyone praises of must have 'the heavenly disposition of an ugly person, a woman of unmatched beauty of a faded old woman'. Xue Yan, ah, it is not that I wish to criticize you, it is a virtue to be humble, but being too humble makes you a hypocrite, this is not good ah…”
”What a glib tongue! Even a dead man will turn alive with your words!” Mei Xue Yan finally burst into giggles as she said this, downing the wine in her cup. A faint flush of red tinged her face, making her appear even more charming.
