Chapter 628: The First Kiss Was

Chapter 630: The First Kiss Was

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-class winner if you participated in a competition!”

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 passed.

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 blushing maiden at the side, “Really, you… You guys have kissed before?”

Having heard this, Helian Wei Wei’s fingers froze under her long sleeves. She looked back at the two people, one of them was cold and indifferent like a solid piece of jade while the other was extremely shy. The contrast between the two of them was quite a perfect match.

She chuckled silently and did not say anything, although her mind descended into a realm of confusion.

Based on her understanding of Baili Jia Jue, he would not do anything even if he wanted to leave an impression.

But if he had made a move, it indicated that it was mingled with sincerity and he meant it.

Helian Wei Wei creased her arched eyebrows and felt a slight pain around her temples.

She had never thought of this kind of situation.

But anyhow, even if that person had once given everything up for her, she could never allow her love to be tarnished.

Yet, even so, she had to bring him back.

It had nothing to do with liking or disliking.

Rather, it was a task that she must complete.

Helian Wei Wei moved her wrist and stared blankly ahead. Therefore, she did not notice the young lady shaking her head slightly.

On the other hand, it had piqued Nangong Lie’s interest. He spoke into Baili Jia Jue’s ear in a lowered voice that only both of them could hear, “If it’s not her, then who did you kiss?”

Baili Jia Jue did not answer him. Instead, he ate with an apathetic face.

Nangong Lie was immensely curious about it, “Who exactly was it?”

“Please leave if you say a word again,” the young man’s voice was chilly.

Nangong Lie’s sharp senses detected that he was unhappy today, so he looked in the direction of Helian Wei Wei.

During this period, whenever Ah Jue was unhappy, it was mostly related to this woman…

Helian Wei Wei was massaging her head having developed an intense migraine. It hurt so much that she could barely hear what the others were saying.

This was not normal.

Her stamina was getting poorer since yesterday.

What could be the cause of it?

Theoretically, there should be more than twenty days left and the time left was considered sufficient.

So why was she experiencing such an intense sensation?

Could it be that something had gone wrong with the guarding?

Thoughts were flashing through Helian Wei Wei’s mind although she showed no traces on her face except that her eyelids were becoming heavier by the second.

Nangong Lie was admiring her for retaining her composure so well, when he noticed that the young man beside him was gazing at the woman with an expression that he had never seen from him before. It was an indescribable feeling.

But that kind of feeling made Nangong Lie think that it was exceeding beyond the original control. This might not be a good thing for Ah Jue…

Everyone had different thoughts running through their minds as they dined. Hence, they did not concentrate on their food. It just so happened that the Emperor needed Baili Jia Jue over for some matters, only then did the lunch came to an end.

When nobody was around, Helian Wei Wei tried to speak to the Red Soul Binding Rope around her wrist with the intention to summon the Fire Qilin from her consciousness.

But all she got in the end was a deafening silence.

Perhaps the method she used was incorrect.

Or maybe she could only get a word in when the Fire Qilin initiated a communicative connection with her first…

A series of conjectures only worsened Helian Wei Wei’s headache. Even her body felt a little tired.

To recover effectively, Helian Wei Wei simply found a blind corner in the royal chamber and shut her eyes…
