Chapter 75 - Approached Him Shamelessly (2/2)

Her last sentence was said to Zeng Yi.

Zeng Yi was extremely mad, and secretly scolded that Shi Qingxue couldn’t recognize the situation and matched the wrong people together. But in front of Mo Junyang, she didn’t dare to vent her anger. So she barely maintained her smile and still insisted, “Actually, I am more familiar with the Mingyang Lake. I can…”

“Great!” Shi Qingxue’s scream interrupted Zeng Yi’s words.

Her smile became even brighter. She seemed to be acting coquettishly and shamelessly and requested, “Baojing has mentioned the Mingyang Lake before, and I have been looking forward to it for a long time. Brother Yang must not mind giving me Sister Yi!”

Mo Junyang was not able to refuse Shi Qingxue. At this moment, the girl he loved made eyes at him. It was so sweet that his heart was moved. If there were no need for him to maintain his personality, he could put down his pride and agree, “It’s all up to you. As long as you like!”

Of course, he still looked very calm without a smile on his face. He nodded expressionlessly and then walked forward without looking back.

Shi Qingxue blinked her eyes and watched Mo Junyang’s back figure, which seemed to walk a little faster than before. She felt that he was escaping.

Well, it must be an illusion.

Shi Qingxue nodded in her heart. Completely ignoring Zeng Yi’s mad look, she went forward and said with a smile, “Sis, shall we go?”

Zeng Yi held back her temper and didn’t shake her hand off. She squeezed the words out of her teeth, “Let’s go!”

Shi Qingxue visited the lake as if she really intended to admire it. While walking, she listened to the introduction and asked some questions at the same time. From poems and songs to allusions and legends, she seemed to want to know everything about the Mingyang Lake. Zeng Yi didn’t want to pay attention to her at all. She just wanted to find an opportunity to approach Mo Junyang and perform well.

But the distance between the two pairs of people was not far. Once her voice got louder, she could be heard. Shi Qingxue even asked perseveringly the second time, so Zeng Yi couldn’t quit answering her questions.

They wasted their time, no, spent about one hour leisurely and comfortably enjoying the spring views at the lake, until Zeng Yi’s mouth became dry and she could hardly bear it.

“Ouch!” Shi Baojing suddenly twisted her ankle and she lost her balance, flung forward.

Mo Junyang saw it and grabbed Shi Baojing quickly, so that she didn’t fall down with her face on the ground. But he didn’t hold her into his arms as written in the script. He just slightly decreased Shi Baojing’s pain, but she still fell down on the ground.

Zeng Yi ran to Shi Baojing more initiatively than anyone else and asked anxiously, “Baojing, are you okay? Are you injured? Does it matter? Can you still walk?”

As she spoke, she used her hand to press Shi Baojing’s injured right ankle. Shi Baojing screamed out because of the pain. So she quickly took back her hand, and immediately burst into tears, and the sisterhood was fully interpreted, “Baojing, how could you be so careless? What can we do with your sprain? It will be grandfather’s birthday tomorrow. He must be sad if he knows that you are injured. My heart even hurts when I see that you are so badly injured.”

Shi Qingxue, “…”

She coughed in a low voice, trying to cover up her laughter. Fortunately, Zeng Yi focused on performing her care for her cousin in front of Mo Junyang wholeheartedly, so that she didn’t notice her at all.

She couldn’t help but laugh out. Mo Junyang happened to turn his head and caught her grinning. Her face suddenly became serious, and she showed anxiety in her eyes, “Baojing just fell down. She will be fine after sitting and resting for a while. It shouldn’t affect her walking.”

Qingxue looked at it carefully. Mo Junyang didn’t show any tenderness toward her at all when he just pulled her, but he controlled his strength properly to completely avoid Shi Baojing getting injured.

But Zeng Yi turned her head to stare at her with a look, implying that Shi Qingxue was merciless and heartless, “Didn’t you see that Baojing fell to the ground? What kind of injury will be serious if this is not? Qingxue, I know you are usually playful. But now Baojing is hurt like this. Do you still want her to accompany you to visit the lake?”

A series of accusations made Shi Qingxue speechless.

Mo Junyang frowned without trace, but soon he asked in a gentle voice, “Can’t Second Lady walk now?”

Zeng Yi immediately became shy and whispered, “No. Baojing is badly hurt. There is no way that she can continue to accompany Your Excellency to admire the lake. Your Excellency, please don’t blame us.”

Mo Junyang showed a mocking smile in disdain, but Zeng Yi kept her head down and didn’t see it. She only heard him say with tenderness, “You are so worried about your sister’s injury. How can I blame you?”

However, Zeng Yi insisted on pleading guilty, “It is true. But Your Excellency rarely has such mood to visit the lake. You Excellency is disappointed this time, so I am willing to compensate Your Excellency for Baojing.”

As she said those, Zeng Yi’s original intention was plainly revealed!

Shi Qingxue curled her lip, thinking that no wonder Zeng Yi was so concerned about Shi Baojing. It turned out that she was waiting for this!

Huh! Didn’t she just want to take the place of Shi Baojing and show Mo Junyang around the lake? She wouldn’t let this go as her will anyway!

Qingxue rolled her eyes and she had a plan. She took the initiative to say, “Sister Yi is right. Sister Jing certainly can’t accompany you to visit the lake in this way. Since that is the case, let’s go back. Anyway, we have known much about the Mingyang Lake.”

Zeng Yi hurriedly shook her head and said anxiously, “How can it be? It is rare that His Excellency comes to Yecheng County. If he couldn’t return with satisfaction, it would be our Zeng Family not treating our guest well.”

Shi Qingxue said indifferently, “But didn’t you just let me stop being playful? If we don’t send Sister Jing back home now, it will be bad to make her injury worse! Sister Yi, you will also be distressed, won’t you?”

Zeng Yi was slapped on face by her own words. Instead of feeling embarrassed, she said confidently, “Doesn’t His Excellency have the guards? Make the guards send Baojing back home by carriage. In this way, His Excellency won’t be disappointed and Baojing’s treatment won’t be delayed. This makes the best of both sides.”
