Chapter 29: Offending Yelv Zhuo
Mo Youyou’s petite body nimbly walked back and forth inside the restaurant. She had learned what to do very quickly. Every time she reached a guest table, she would respectfully pass a cup of wine to them, along with the words, “Please enjoy yourself.” identally catching the gaze of the shopkeeper, the man nodded at her in joy.
In the private room on the third floor, Helian Yi was still standing in front of the window. Upon hearing themotion behind him, Helian Yi turned around and coldly looked at the person who had just arrived at his table. When he saw the personfortably sitting on the chair and sipping his favorite wine, Helian Yi’s eyes narrowed.
Helian Yi walked to the opposite side of the table and sat down.
“Why is the Fusang Kingdom’s Crown Prince here today?”
“Ahh! I’m afraid that I won’t be able to catch the show tomorrow. On my way here, the number of assassins had increased. It will be more difficult to travel each year! Sigh! I, the dignified Prince of the Fusang Kingdom, had truly put myself into such hardship only to meet a woman! Come, Helian Yi, feel some sympathy for me and have a drink!”
Helian Yi raised his gaze and looked at the man in front of him with a sharp gaze.
“Yelv Zhuo, if you want to drink, then drink by yourself. I don’t have time to drink with you!”
“Hey! Helian Yi, this ce was created sake of drinking wine and admiring beauties. You’ve been here for years, yet the Cold Evil King still has to melt.”
Helian Yi took the wine cup from Yelv Zhuo’s hand. His eyes lowered as he stared at the alcohol. Helian Yi quickly ced the cup on his lips, his Adam’s apple rolling as he finished the wine in one gulp.
Yelv Zhuoughed, “Prince Jing is straightforward indeed. Hahaha! Come! Have another cup.”
Right after he finished speaking, he poured Helian Yi a cup of wine.
After a long while, Yelv Zhuo picked up the wine jug and shook it, then helplessly smiled.
“We haven’t had our fill yet, but the wine pot is already empty!” As Yelv Zhuo spoke, he called out to the attendants guarding outside the door.
“Tell someone to bring a few bottles of superior wine!”
A deep voice came from outside the door, “Yes, Young Master.”
Downstairs, while Mo Youyou was busy pouring wine and pouring tea for his guests, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
“Mo You, Mo You!”
Mo Youyou turned around, and seeing it was Ah De, she smiled and asked:
“What’s wrong?”
Ah De’s gaze moved towards the third floor before whispering to Mo Youyou,
“Help me deliver this wine to the Wing Pavilion on the third floor. The others are still busy. And since you’re still a neer, you should also get yourself familiarized with the environment on the third floor.”
Mo Youyou stared at Ah De. No matter how hard she looked at him, he did not seem to be sick.
“Isn’t that why we can’t get close to the third floor? I’m afraid of death, so I don’t dare to go up.”
“Hehe, it’s fine. We only have to take care of things like pouring the wine into the cup. So you don’t have to worry! But I have to go to the toilet first. I’lle to pick you up right away.”
Mo Youyou hesitated for a moment, before agreeing to Ah De’s request. She held onto the tray that Ah De had given her and looked up to the third floor. Mo Youyou nced at Ah De, who had slipped away before taking a deep breath and walking up the stairs.
“Stop! Who is it!?”
Mo Youyou raised her head, and revealed a ttering smile towards Yelv Zhuo’s follower:
“Hehe, this one is a waiter here. I’m here to deliver the wine to the guests.”
The man stared at Mo Youyou’s unfamiliar face and got stunned for a moment before gesturing for her to enter. Mo Youyou heaved a sigh of relief and quickly entered the “Wings” room.
Just as she stepped into the room, she heard a familiar voice. Not daring to raise her head to look at the man, Mo Youyou kept her head lowered until she reached the table, putting down the wine bottle in the tray, and turned around to walk away quickly.
Helian Yi caught a glimpse of the figure that had left from the corner of his eyes and felt that it was a little familiar.
Suddenly, a miserable “Ah!” left Mo Youyou’s lips as she tripped by the door, falling at the floor like a dog eating shit.
Seeing that, Helian Yi raised his head and stared at the figure. Just now, he thought he had seen wrongly, but upon hearing the familiar voice, he noticed her.
A cold light shed through his eyes. This damned woman, when did shee here to be a waitress? Could it be that she’s following him? Just who is she? What was her purpose in approaching him?
Yelv Zhuo curiously looked at Mo Youyou who had already got up from the ground. Just now, Helian Yi’s expression clearly showed that he recognized the waiter! Yelv Zhuo’s yfulness surged, and he cast a sidelong nce at Helian Yi before he coldly spoke to his followers:
“Drag him away and kill him! To dare disturb my and Prince Jing’s mood, you are guilty beyond redemption!”
Hearing Yelv Zhuo’s words, Helian Yi was startled, but before he could stop him, Mo Youyou, who was standing unhappily at the door suddenly turned her head, her eyes wide as she pointed at Helian Yi, and cursed loudly.
“Helian Yi! You! Why would you let him kill me? If it wasn’t for you, how could I have fallen? Do you think I would willinglye to this crappy ce? If my colleague didn’t earnestly request that Ie to his ce to help, I wouldn’t have cared at all!”
Yelv Zhuo was rendered speechless by Mo Youyou’s words. He pointed at Mo Youyou in disbelief, his gazending on Helian Yi’s body as he spoke with a smile that was not a smile:
“Helian Yi, aren’t you being too casual with this “temporary waiter”? Did you have to find a waiter who is even more vicious than a woman to serve me? ”
Mo Youyou gritted her teeth as she red at Yelv Zhuo who had just spoken. This monster, he dared to call her vicious?
Helian Yi gave Mo Youyou a cold re, signaling her to back off. Mo Youyou stared back at him and threw the tray in her hands. She put both of her hands on her hips and walked straight towards him.
The servant outside the door quickly drew his sword to block the attack, but he got stopped by a flying needle and fell backward.
Mo Youyou was so shocked that she stood there in a daze. When she regained her senses, she slowly turned her head to look at the follower who was clutching his chest. And seeing his pained expression, Mo Youyou suddenly burst outughing. She asked gloatingly:
“Hey, are you okay? Could it be that you got struck by lightning? ”
“You!”
“What’s wrong with me? Let me tell you, don’t stab someone in the back. See, this is what happens to you.”
After she finished speaking, she turned around to look at Helian Yi, and thought: “Could it be that he helped me?”
Just as she was puzzled, Ah De’s voice sounded from outside the door.
“Young Masters, I am truly sorry that this happened. Mo You has onlye here today. He does not understand the rules yet and has offended the two of you. I hope that Gongzi would be magnanimous and forgives me.”
Helian Yi endured his anger and berated Ah De coldly, “Get the hell out of here right now!”
Seeing that, Mo Youyou scolded Helian Yi in her heart. She bid her farewells to Ah De before picking up the tray and quickly leaving.
After Mo Youyou left, Yelv Zhuo stared at Helian Yi’s expressionless face, and then looked at Ah De who was at the door, andughed:
“Could it be that Prince Jing knows thatdy?”
Helian Yi nced at Yelv Zhuo with his cold eyes, “As expected of Yelv Zhuo, I know you have seen countless women, but I never thought that you would see through her like that.”
Yelv Zhuo frowned, feeling somewhat regretful.
“Ahh, before I could even have a good time with that girl, she was mercilessly sent away by you.”
Finally, Ah De made a move at the door. He turned around and nced at Mo Youyou, who had already gone downstairs, and quickly retracted his gaze, closing the door, and walked to Yelv Zhuo’s side and sat down.
“You scared her!”
Yelv Zhuo was curious, “She’s one of yours? It seems thating here today is the right decision. I never thought that the dignified Prince of Tong Li Kingdom would start to have an interest in women.”
Ah De picked up the wine cup and toyed with it with his hand, the corners of his mouth curled up, “It’s not that I’m interested, it’s just that I don’t hate it! This Crown Prince’s Pce has already been empty for more than ten years. If I don’t find a Consort to marry and go back now, I’m afraid that even royal father will not agree.”
“Brother Xiao, I remember that you and Yao’er are childhood friends. Furthermore, the Lord of Ming You Kingdom has already bestowed marriage upon the two of you.”
“Regarding the marriage, I will personally apologize at the banquet tomorrow. I don’t want to trouble Brother Yelv and worry about.”
Helian Yi sat quietly at the side as he watched the two nation’s Crown Prince bicker. He was thinking of recing the Manor’s guards! They let her run over here, and even got targeted by Tong Li Kingdom’s Xiao Zhai!
Clenching his fists tightly, Helian Yi suddenly spoke with a cold voice,
“You two go ahead and talk. I still have some business to do. I shall be leaving first!”
Without waiting for the two to react, Helian Yi’s figure quickly disappeared from the private room.
Yelv Zhuo pointed to the empty door and said:
“Hey! What’s going on with the two of you today! Why did he leave just like that? And I still have yet to get down to business with you! ”
Very quickly, a voice floated into his ear:
“This Prince is all ears for you tomorrow!”
Yelv Zhuo sighed helplessly. He nced at Xiao Zhai, and Xiao Zhai smiled.
“Young master, if there’s nothing else, please finish the wine and leave!”
Pointing at Xiao Zhai’s back, Yelv Zhuo gnashed his teeth and roared:
“Xiao Zhai, just you wait!”
“Haha, Yelv Zhuo, I shall wait for you! Hahaha…”
Helian Yi and Xiao Zhai’s attitude made Yelv Zhuo so angry that he raised his head and drank a cup of wine before leaving. If not for the beautiful woman and his Rong’er that he had to meet tomorrow, Yelv Zhuo would already be at Prince Jing’s Manor drinking Old Rose Wine together with Helian Yi!
