Chapter 133 Her lips must be very kissable.
The best roasted mutton in Fengdu City is from an old shop.
The shop isn't big, and it's not on the main street, but there are quite a few people there.
When Qin Wan and Xiao Jingyan arrived, the lobby on the first floor was already full of people.
Fortunately, Xiao Jingyan had booked a private room in advance, otherwise their trip today would have been in vain.
"Fifth Master, the usual place, this way please!" The waiter led Qin Wan and Xiao Jingyan to the innermost room on the second floor.
"What would you two like to eat today?" the waiter asked, wiping the table with one hand.
Qin Wan was treating everyone today, and she originally wanted to take Xiao Jingyan to eat somewhere else, but he recommended this place to her.
Qin Wan had no doubt about Xiao Jingyan's ability to discover delicious food. Since she met Xiao Jingyan, she had eaten many novel and delicious foods that she had never tried before.
So this time, Qin Wan didn't hesitate and listened to Xiao Jingyan's words, coming to this small restaurant.
Qin Wan didn't know how many delicious dishes were available, but judging from how the waiter addressed Xiao Jingyan, he was probably a regular customer.
When asked by the shop assistant, Qin Wan subconsciously looked at Xiao Jingyan.
Xiao Jingyan understood Qin Wan's meaning and said, "One pot of roasted mutton, one serving of lamb chops, spicy stir-fried mutton, stir-fried mutton with scallions, and two servings of mutton soup noodles."
"Alright, you two wait a moment!"
After the shop assistant left, Qin Wan voiced her doubts.
"It's all mutton?"
Xiao Jingyan poured tea for Qin Wan and nodded in response, "Don't worry, this is a place I've been eating at since I was a child, it's delicious!"
Qin Wan wasn't doubting the taste; it's just that she'd been eating too much lately and had gained weight. If she didn't restrain herself soon, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to fit into her clothes anymore.
Soon, the food that Xiao Jingyan had ordered was brought in one dish after another.
Finally, they also brought a small pot of wine.
"This is our shop's special Shaoxing wine, which goes quite well with the mutton. Please enjoy!"
Xiao Jingyan poured Qin Wan a small cup of rice wine. The aroma of the wine filled the cup, making Qin Wan, who did not like drinking, want to take a sip.
The two clinked glasses, and as the Shaoxing wine went down their throats, the slight spiciness awakened their taste buds, making them want to eat a bite of mutton to satisfy their cravings.
As expected of an established restaurant, they are adept at winning people's hearts with their food.
After a few drinks, Qin Wan's face flushed slightly, and her body felt a little unsteady.
Xiao Jingyan frowned slightly as he looked at Qin Wan. The wine was still a bit too strong for Wan'er.
"Wan'er, are you alright? Did you drink too much?"
Xiao Jingyan stared at Qin Wan and asked with concern.
Qin Wan shook her head, and when she looked at the person in front of her again, she felt a little dizzy. She seemed to be really drunk.
"Fifth Master, this wine is delicious, thank you for the recommendation..."
Before Qin Wan could finish speaking, she slumped onto the table, her body sliding down until she was about to fall to the ground. Just then, Xiao Jingyan got up and caught her in his arms.
What did she call him just now?
Fifth Master?
Xiao Jingyan smiled helplessly. Even when drunk, he still remembered to tease people!
Qin Wan lay on her side in Xiao Jingyan's arms, her long eyelashes casting shadows under her eyes, and her flushed cheeks still bearing traces of wine.
With his mouth slightly open, he breathed in and out, exhaling a breath of alcohol-scented air right next to Xiao Jingyan's ear.
The gentle sensation made Xiao Jingyan's Adam's apple bob, and he couldn't help but want to look at the beauty in his arms.
It also unconsciously reminded him of the night she took the initiative to kiss him on horseback.
That was their first kiss, and there was never another one.
Xiao Jingyan looked at Qin Wan, who was lying in his arms with her eyes closed, and his body pressed down uncontrollably.
Her mouth is so small, it must be easy to kiss!
When Xiao Jingyan realized something was wrong, his lips had already touched Qin Wan's lips.
With just that one touch, his body felt a tingling, electric sensation, as if he had been electrocuted.
He panicked and withdrew his thought. What he was doing was taking advantage of someone in distress, which was not gentlemanly behavior and should not be tolerated!
But deep down, he still wanted to kiss her. After struggling with his conscience for a while, he leaned down again.
"Miss, investigation..."
When Nianqi suddenly entered, Xiao Jingyan, as if she had done something wrong, hurriedly stood up and glared at Nianqi with a cold and embarrassed look.
Nianqi took a deep breath. What was His Highness trying to do just now?
Yes...
Nianqi realized that she had ruined His Highness's plans and withdrew apologetically.
"Excuse me, Your Highness, please continue!"
Before reporting again, you still have to knock on the door!
Interrupted by Nianqi, Xiao Jingyan stopped.
If Wan'er knew that he had done something wrong, she would definitely be angry.
But a hug is always okay, right?
......
Back in the west wing, Su Yan'er remembered Granny Tang's advice and ate only a bowl of plain porridge for dinner.
Fortunately, Qin Yi was injured today, so no one noticed her and she had time to catch her breath. Otherwise, if the royal physician had examined her, she wouldn't know how to explain it.
My body is ready; all that's left is recovery time.
However, she still needed to make sure that her second brother wouldn't ruin her plans.
Su Yan'er frequently visited Nanfeng Courtyard and took the opportunity to bribe a servant there. Under the cover of night, she summoned the servant to the West Wing.
"Has my second brother said anything to my aunt recently?"
"Who does Miss Yan'er refer to?"
Su Yan'er rolled her eyes, unsure whether the servant was genuinely stupid or pretending. "My affair with my second brother?"
The servant shook his head: "No, the second young master has been busy with the fourth young lady's affairs lately and hasn't mentioned Miss Yan'er to the madam!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yan'er didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
Qin Lang had said that he would tell the people in the Marquis's mansion about their affairs when he returned, but he has been back for many days and has not mentioned it once.
Although she was unwilling, he did not force her, which shows that he did not value their relationship.
In his heart, there was only Qin Wan; perhaps his relationship with her only lasted that night.
Thinking of this, Su Yan'er, who had felt a little guilty towards Qin Lang, now felt none of it.
Since he cares so much about his fourth sister, then let him care.
She's going to pursue her own future, so this doesn't mean she's wronged him.
"Alright, I understand. You may leave."
After Cuizhu gave the reward money, the servant left.
Seeing Su Yan'er's solemn expression, Cuizhu thought she was saddened by this matter, so she comforted her.
"Miss, don't worry. The second young master is not an irresponsible person. He should mention this matter to the madam and the marquis after this period of time!"
What Cuizhu didn't know was that Su Yan'er was no longer satisfied with marrying into the Marquis's mansion; otherwise, she wouldn't be putting herself through so much trouble.
Wanyue Courtyard.
Xiao Jingyan escorted Qin Wan back. Since it wouldn't sound good if word got out that Qin Wan had returned drunk, he had her enter through a side gate.
Nianqi slipped some silver, and the gatekeeper, Granny Wang, wouldn't tell anyone about it.
Xiao Jingyan quickly escorted Qin Wan to her room.
Wan Shuang didn't go with them tonight, and when she saw the young lady return drunk, she became very worried.
"Miss, how much did you drink? How did you get so drunk?"
He was probably too anxious and didn't pay attention to his tone of voice.
Xiao Jingyan, who had been reprimanded, stood there like a child who had done something wrong.
"Not much, only six glasses!"
Xiao Jingyan spread his thumb and forefinger to indicate the height of a glass of wine.
Seeing this, Evening Frost became even angrier.
"They drank so much!"
