Zhao Jie personally poured a cup of tea, pushed the glazed white porcelain cup with a colorful magnolia flower pattern in front of her, gestured with his chin, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Wei Luo came back to her senses . She slanted her head to look at him and thought about him kissing her in the private room . . . They were was also seen by the waiter . . . Her little face immediately blushed and she duplicity said, "Nothing important . "

He quietly laughed and didn't continue asking about that question . Instead, he asked, "Ah Luo, are you clear about big brother's feelings?"

Just as Wei Luo was about to reply, she suddenly saw a trace of pink on his lips . After she carefully looked, she realized that it was her lipstick . It must have rubbed off on him when he was kissing her . . . Fortunately, it wasn't too obvious because she was wearing light pink lipstick today . However, if a person came close to Zhao Jie, they would definitely be able to see it . No wonder Zhao Jue had looked at them with a dubious expression in his eyes!

Wei Luo suddenly felt that she had lost her reputation . It was entirely Zhao Jie's fault!

Fortunately, Zhao Liuli hadn't returned yet to see this . If Liuli saw this, even if her mouth was as long as her body, she wouldn't be able to explain her innocence .

She didn't answer his question . She angrily pointed at the lipstick on his lips, "Wipe it away . "

Zhao Jie wasn't sure what she wanted, so he asked, "What?"

She pursed her lips and explained, "My lipstick . . . It's on your lips . "

Originally, she thought he would feel embarrassed . She wouldn't have guessed that the smile in his eyes would deepen . Not only was he not worried, he calmly used his thumb to wipe, "Here?"

No, it wasn't rubbed away at all . Wei Luo shook her head and continued pointing, "It’s a little further up . "

He wiped again, "Here?"

It was still wrong . He went in the wrong direction . Wei Luo was worried about delaying this . Liuli and Yang Zhen would be coming back soon . She could only take out her handkerchief and go forward to help him wipe away the lipstick . After she finished wiping, she carefully looked at this spot . She felt relieved after seeing that there wasn't a trace left . She nodded and was about to go back to her seat . But, Zhao Jie suddenly held her hand and said, "Ah Luo . . . "

At the same time, Zhao Liuli's voice came from outside, "Is it this room? You wouldn't have made a mistake, right?"

After she said this, the doors were pushed open .

Wei Luo hurriedly took back her hand and looked at the doors .

The doorway and the round table carved with lions were separated by a divider screen with a painting of birds in the center . When Zhao Liuli walked past the divider screen, Wei Luo had just sat down in her seat . Zhao Liuli happily walked to her side and brought out an oiled paper packet in front of her .

"Ah Luo, look . These are candied fruit sticks that I bought with older brother Yang Zhen . I just had a bite . It's really delicious . . . "

There were different types of candied fruit sticks inside the oiled paper . There were ones made entirely of hawthorn fruit and other ones made with a mix of hawthorn fruit and walnuts, cherries, or oranges . A layer of syrup had been poured over the fruit, then a thick layer of sesame had been sprinkled on top . A person would feel hungry just looking at this candy .

Wei Luo hadn't moved yet .

On the side, Zhao Jie said, "Let's eat lunch before eating the hawthorn candy . "

Zhao Liuli obediently agreed . She always listened to Zhao Jie's words and didn't dare to be disobedient towards her older brother . She immediately put away the oiled paper packet, sat down at Wei Luo's side, and said, "I didn't want to become too full, so I only had half a bowl of jellied tofu and kept the rest of my stomach empty to eat lunch .

As for the remaining half of the bowl . . . she had naturally given it to Yang Zhen .

Yang Zhen was a bodyguard and normally couldn't eat with them . At this time, he was properly standing at the side .

Because Zhao Jie was present, Zhao Liuli didn't ask him to come over to eat together with them . But, occasionally, she would glance and smile at him when Zhao Jie wasn't paying attention .

Yang Zhen was also look at her . Although he didn't smile, the soft light in his eyes couldn't be concealed .

The four people were pondering and harboring thoughts in their minds during this meal .

--------

After lunch, Zhao Liuli had to go back to the palace .

Yu He was located in the Western Main Street and was very close to Duke Ying's residence . But, after they sat down in the carriage, Zhao Jie ordered the driver to go back to the palace first before sending Wei Luo back to Duke Ying's residence .

This meant that on the way from the palace to Duke Ying's residence she would be alone with Zhao Jie inside the carriage . She asked, "My home isn't far from here . It's only two streets way . . . It won't take long to get there . Could you send me back first?"

Zhao Jie was sitting across from here . He raised his eyes to look at her, "There's a time limit to how long Liuli can leave the palace . She'll be late if we’re delayed . "

Oh . . . fine . She was speechless at the moment .

The carriage soon arrived at the palace entrance . Before she left, Zhao Liuli smilingly whispered into her ear, "Ah Luo, your lipstick is gone . "

Wei Luo froze for a moment . Stunned, she said, "You . . . "

These two siblings were both brilliant . Although Zhao Liuli usually behaved foolishly, she understood everything clearly . She knew that the relationship between Wei Luo and Zhao Jie was unusual . She could audaciously guess this because Zhao Jie never refrained from saying anything taboo in front of her . Now, her guess had become reality . It was very possible that before too long, her friend that was like a sister would become her sister-in-law .

In this way, Wei Luo would be even closer with her .

The more she thought, the more she felt good about this . Her movement when she left the carriage was very relaxed .

--------

However, inside the carriage, Wei Luo wasn't feeling happy .

Her mind kept thinking . How did Liuli know? When did she know? Did Her Majesty also know? The more she thought, the more her thoughts whirled around in confusion and distress .

--------

The carriage slowly went towards Duke Ying's residence .

Inside the carriage, Wei Luo looked down without saying anything . Zhao Jie also didn't open his mouth . The carriage had a silence that was difficult to endure . A long time later, she finally figured out what she wanted to say after deliberating . She slowly raised her lips and said, "What happened recently . . . I'll treat it as if nothing happened . Big brother was confused and made a mistake . ”

She had thought about this a lot, but she had never thought about accepting Zhao Jie .

This had been too sudden . At the moment, she felt confused and wasn't clear what she should be thinking . She only knew that she wanted more time to think .

As Zhao Jie listened to her, he silently looked at her .

The young girl's eyes were bright . This time she didn't avoid looking at him . She confidently looked at him while waiting for his reply .

Unfortunately . . . a long time later, he lightly said, "Ah Luo, this prince kissed you . You can't pretend that nothing happened . "

Her little face froze .

He paused, then he gently continued, "This prince likes you . You can't act as if I don’t like you . ”
