What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You - Chapter 118: You can pretend

Chapter 118: You can pretend

—When the words “He Yunxiao” were heard, they directly destroyed Meng Qingrou’s original happy expression.

“Xing’er, don’t say anything. I don’t want to hear about him.”

Of course, Xing’er wouldn’t stop talking.

These two of them, one waiting rigidly like a dullard at the door, and the other inside the house, not wanting to hear anyone else speak of him. If there wasn’t a middleman in between, it’s probably for the rest of their lives.

Xing’er did not want Princess Nanzhu’s life to end like this. Her youth, as gorgeous and beautiful as a fairy, should not fade away in the deserted Linxuan Palace. A good girl like her deserved to be loved better and to have a better life.

Xing’er, relying on her good relationship with Meng Qingrou, continued, “Your Highness, He Yunxiao has bought you snacks, would you like to try them?”

Meng Qingrou said with an expressionless face, “No.”

Xing’er said again, “Your Highness, shall I tell you what just happened?”

Meng Qingrou continued to be expressionless, “I don’t want to hear it.”

Xing’er didn’t care if she wanted to hear it or not, and spoke on her own. Starting from taking the potion out of Linxuan Palace, then talking about being scared by He Yunxiao, about throwing the jewelery, He Yunxiao gave her, about He Yunxiao being happy about throwing the jewelery, about dumping the potion herself, about He Yunxiao being unwilling to lie to her ……

Little by little, in fine detail, without adding oil and vinegar, without flashy words.

When Xing’er started talking, Meng Qingrou no longer mentioned whether she wanted to listen or not. She sat upright with her hands in her lap and listened intently, like a good child in a class.

Xing’er finally got to the end.

“Before I came back, I asked Young Master, I said ‘Young Master, is there nothing you want to say to Her Highness?’”

Xing’er paused and looked up into the eyes of her own Highness, the Princess Nanzhu.

In her large watery eyes, the world’s brilliance was reflected, and the world was more beautiful in her eyes than the world itself.

Seeing that Xing’er was silent, Meng Qingrou subconsciously went to pull Xing’er’s hand and could not help but ask, “Xing’er, what then? What did he say?”

Xing’er looked at Her Highness’ concerned look, and then recalled her “don’t” and “don’t want to hear” words and expressionless demeanor just now.

She was amused: Miss Meng, you don’t want to listen and don’t care, do you? Why are you now holding my hand and asking questions? If you have the guts, why don’t you continue to ignore it? Go ahead and pretend!

Xing’er deliberately said, “Young Master He said, ‘In the future, Nanzhu and I will break off our relationship once and for all, and we will never see each other again’!”

Upon hearing these words, Meng Qingrou’s face lost all its blood instantly and turned pale, her chest kept heaving up and down, as if she couldn’t breathe for a while.

Even Xing’er, who knew her Highness well, had not expected her to react so strongly.

Xing’er hurriedly grabbed Meng Qingrou’s body, and, regardless of the situation, gave her some kind words to comfort her, saying, “Your Highness! Qingrou! Xing’er is talking nonsense! He didn’t say anything like that. He said ‘he likes you’, ‘he only wants Qingrou’ ……”

Meng Qingrou was comforted by Xing’er, and only then did her face recover, even a little rosier than a moment ago.

She hammered her small fist on Xing’er’s body, “Stinky Xing’er! He Yunxiao lied to me, and you lied to me too!”

Xing ‘er let go of her own Highness’s body, and seeing that she was back to her normal self, her mind, which had been scared out of its wits just then, was a little better.

Xing’er initially thought that Meng Qingrou didn’t like him as much as she did after being deceived by He Yunxiao. but she didn’t expect that not only was He Yunxiao a desperate lover, but Her Highness was also no less of a lover.

Meng Qingrou pretended to be serious and said, “Xing’er, tell me what he said at the end.”

Xing’er dared not joke this time and honestly repeated He Yunxiao’s words.

“Young Master He said, ‘There are many things I want to say to her, but the one I want to say the most is still – I miss you and want to see you’.”

Hearing these words, Meng Qingrou immediately turned her small face aside.

She didn’t care if He Yunxiao was there and could hear her. She just rebuked him across the air, “Nonsense! You are a liar! I don’t believe you!”

Xing’er looked at Meng Qingruo’s pretty face as she turned away and saw the pinkness on her cheeks, and inwardly she couldn’t help but mutter, “If you really don’t believe me, don’t blush.

Remembering the business of delivering medicine, Xing’er said, “Your Highness, I have already dumped the original potion, so please make a new one.”

Meng Qingrou stood up and said quietly, “Xing’er, which side are you on, why don’t you help me and instead helping He Yunxiao.”

Xing’er: why am I helping him, don’t you know in your heart?

Meng Qingrou could not help this big sister she had grown up with, and in Linxuan Palace, even Xing’er’s influence over the other palace maids was a little greater than her own.

She had no choice but to say, “I’m going to prepare the potion, you get rid of that person at the door.”

Originally, Xing’er was prepared to respect her Highness’ opinion. but when she saw her Highness’ face turn white with fright at the mere words “cut it off and never come back”, she could not breathe well. At this point, Xing ‘er understood.

Her Highness, the Princess Nanzhu, was the same as the Young Master He outside: it was not that she did not care about the other side, but that she cared too much.

The one outside, after being scolded, went straight from being an ace at breaking into her bedchamber at night to being an honest, fearful rookie. The one in the room, after the scolding, said that she didn’t care. That it didn’t matter, but in her heart she really wanted to. But in reality, she didn’t even dare to see her. Even in the middle of the night, before the medicine was ready, he had to be driven away, fierce and abusive.

Xing’er sighed. It seemed that this twisted couple had to pull the red rope of marriage all by themselves.

It was a pity that she had never seen Spider-Man. Otherwise, she would have felt the same way.

Instead of rushing to find He Yunxiao, Xing’er took the jewelery, rouge, clothes and other things He gave her and went to the other palace sisters’ bedrooms.

While handing out the bribes, she incidentally explained the predicament of Her Highness Nanzhu.

While taking the bribes from He Yunxiao, the palace maids listened to the gossip with their eyes shining.

Only after the explanation did Xing’er leave the palace and go to find He Yunxiao, who was still outside the courtyard.

He Yunxiao had been immersed in the world of martial arts training. Although the weather was cool at night, he felt no coolness at all under the constant movement of his internal energy, and while his whole body was full of energy, he could also feel the subtle changes taking place in his body.

The body that had been refined by internal energy spontaneously expelled toxins.

Although it was minimal, He Yunxiao felt that if he really had Chu Chu’s power, even if he didn’t take the Soul Devouring Pill’s antidote, he would still be able to live longer than others, and still much longer.

Chu Chu said before that she had a way to extend my life span without taking the Soul Devouring Pill. Could it be that ……

“Young Master He.”

Interpreting He Yunxiao thought, Xing’er came in front of him.

He Yunxiao naturally acknowledged Xing’er’s kindness, so he stopped practicing martial arts and got up, “Miss Xing’er, what’s the matter?”

Remembering Her Highness Nanzhu’s order to “get rid of that man at the door,” Xing’er smiled and said, “Young Master He, Her Highness invites you in.”
