Chapter 42: Too proud to tolerate deception
Qin Xiaoning knew that if Lu Ji was deceived into this blind date without knowing the truth, he would definitely be angry.
He is too proud to tolerate being deceived.
Even if that person is his mother who only cares about his own good.
Afraid that Lu Ji's temper would affect her, Qin Xiaoning tried to reduce her presence as much as possible. She just lowered her head and sipped the fruit wine, not daring to even look at Lu Ji.
Lu Ji's face became increasingly gloomy.
Seeing that she acted like nothing happened, he got angry.
"That wine is delicious?" Amid the soft sound of Jiang Fu's piano, Lu Ji's clear voice with a hint of anger was particularly clear.
As soon as Lu Ji opened his mouth, everyone's eyes could not help but focus on him. However, Lu Ji acted as if no one was around. He still sat there calmly, staring at Qin Xiaoning with his deep eyes, and repeated, "The wine is delicious?"
At this time, no matter what she said, he would get angry.
But with so many people watching, Qin Xiaoning couldn't hide even if she wanted to. She raised her head but didn't dare to look at him. She hesitated and said, "Not bad, not bad. Do you want to drink, my lord?"
Lu Ji rolled his eyes at her, stood up, and walked straight away without even saying hello. After walking down two steps, he suddenly stopped without turning around, and said in a cold voice: "Why don't you catch up?"
Qin Xiaoning knew that he was talking to her.
She didn't dare to provoke him, but she just left like that. She didn't care about others, but she was afraid that the Duke's wife would be embarrassed.
The Duchess's wife treated her very well. At this moment, Lu Ji was so rude in front of outsiders that she felt a little sorry for her.
"Why don't you leave? Are you going to wait here for the reward?"
Lu Ji turned around impatiently and stared at Qin Xiaoning with a cold face, his eyes were ice and his words were angry.
The Duke's wife could no longer sit still, and stood up and shouted, "Ji'er, how can you be so rude in front of your aunt?"
Lu Ji ignored her, turned around, stepped onto the platform, grabbed Qin Xiaoning with his big hand and left.
He took big steps and walked quickly. Qin Xiaoning was almost carried by him down the long stairs. When they reached the bottom, he suddenly let go of her. She lost her balance and stumbled to the ground. He didn't care, just left her behind and walked forward with big strides.
Qin Xiaoning stood up, brushed off the dust on her body, and hurried to catch up with him.
She didn't dare to catch up with him, for fear that he was angry and would take it out on her. But she didn't dare to go too far away from him either. The peach forest was huge and it was her first time here. She was afraid that he would leave her behind and get lost.
She followed Lu Ji all the way out of the peach forest. He still walked forward without looking back. She followed him out of the villa and saw him going straight down the mountain. She hurried to catch up with him. When she reached the foot of the mountain, she was already out of breath.
Seeing that he finally stopped, she came close to him and asked with a sigh, "Are we going back home now?"
He ignored her and ordered the servant to get the carriage. When the driver drove the carriage over, Qin Xiaoning walked over and was about to get on the carriage when Lu Ji grabbed her by the back of her collar and threw her into the carriage like a chicken.
Fortunately, the carpet in the carriage was thick, so she was not hurt.
The carriage was moving forward. Qin Xiaoning sat on the couch, quietly opened the window a little, and glanced at Lu Ji who was riding on the horse.
The man's face looked frighteningly gloomy.
She quickly and gently closed the window again. She felt tired after all the trouble. The carriage was spacious and the bed was big enough for two people. Qin Xiaoning took the soft pillow and lay down. Before she fell asleep, she did not forget to pull a thin blanket to cover herself.
The coachman was very skilled in driving the horse, and the journey was not bumpy at all. Qin Xiaoning slept soundly until she heard the sound of "dong dong" knocking on the wall of the carriage, and then she opened her eyes.
The car door was wide open and Lu Ji was standing under the car, staring at her with his cold eyes.
"Are you home yet?"
Qin Xiaoning quickly stood up, rubbed her eyes, and smiled at Lu Ji in a flattering way: "I was too tired, and I accidentally fell asleep."
Lu Ji rolled his eyes at her and said in a cold voice, "You are heartless." After that, he ignored her and strode towards the mansion. Qin Xiaoning jumped off the carriage and chased him all the way back to Qingsong Garden. Before entering the house, she pulled his sleeve and asked coaxingly, "Are you still angry?"
He still refused to pay attention to her, took away her hand that was pulling him, and slammed the door shut.
Qin Xiaoning shrank her neck and went back to her room.
He was angry, and if she didn't comfort him at all, he would definitely get angry with her afterwards. She tried to comfort him symbolically, but seeing that he was still holding on, she didn't force him anymore.
Songzhi followed in and asked, "Why is the prince angry? Did you cause him to do that?"
"How can I have the courage to do that?" Qin Xiaoning took off her coat and asked, "What's there to eat in the kitchenette? I'm hungry."
"Didn't you say we were going to the Bieyuan family dinner? Didn't you fill your stomach?"
I went to the villa, which is such a nice place. I originally wanted to have a good sleep in that little brothel at night, listening to the sound of water.
Everything was ruined by Lu Ji's disturbance.
After a while, Songzhi brought the food: hot shredded chicken noodles, two kinds of braised dishes, and two kinds of exquisite pickled side dishes.
Qin Xiaoning ate her meal and went back to bed to catch up on her sleep.
I was tormented by Lu Ji all night last night, and I got up early in the morning. I had just chased him all the way. I was so tired that my waist and legs were sore. I lay down, closed my eyes, and fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes again, the sun was setting.
Qin Xiaoning got up, put on her clothes, and left the house. She glanced at the still-closed door of the main house and asked Songzhi quietly, "Is the prince still in there?"
Songzhi replied in a low voice: "He hasn't come out and hasn't eaten yet."
As for Lu Ji, if you say he is stingy, that is definitely not the case. In terms of his breadth of mind and character, he is an absolute man. But sometimes, if someone disobeys him in some way, he becomes like a child and loses his temper.
Qin Xiaoning thought about it, turned around and left the house and went to the small kitchen.
After working for a while, I finally made a bowl of fragrant beef noodles.
She carefully carried it back to the house and saw that the door to the main house was still closed. She raised her hand to knock on the door, but stopped.
He lowered his head, thinking about how to coax the person.
After a moment, Qin Xiaoning raised her hand again, and just as it was about to touch the door, she paused, hesitated for a moment, and raised her hand again.
Just as the little hand touched the door, a clear voice came from behind: "The door is hot, isn't it?"
Qin Xiaoning turned around when she heard the voice and saw Lu Ji standing behind her.
She was surprised and said, "I thought you were still in the house."
Lu Ji snorted and pushed the door open to go into the house. Qin Xiaoning followed him in with noodles in her hand and asked with concern, "You haven't eaten yet, right? I made your favorite beef noodles myself. Eat them while they're hot."
As she said that, she pushed the noodles in front of him, but was pushed back by Lu Ji. He looked at her with his deep eyes and said without any appreciation: "Don't be hypocritical with me."
Then, she rolled her eyes at him again: "You teamed up with others to deceive me, it's interesting, isn't it?"
"Where can I have it?"
She was about to explain when Lu Ji suddenly stood up, grabbed her wrist with his big hand, and was about to push her out, saying angrily, "Get out. I don't want to see you anymore."
He was very strong, and Qin Xiaoning's small body was easily pushed out of the door by him. When he was about to close the door again, Qin Xiaoning grabbed his hand and said anxiously: "I am yours, how can I be in cahoots with others."
