Chapter 539 - 539 Meeting (3)

539 Meeting (3)
Yuan Yuwan’s heart tightened, and she inexplicably recalled what Yuan Leyao had said.
Feng Manman came out with a tray with two teacups on it. Noticing her gaze, she said awkwardly, “I’ve embarrassed myself. My handwriting isn’t good.”
Yuan Yuwan forced a smile. “No.”
Then, she reached out to pick up the teacup.!!
“Be careful, it’s a little hot!” Feng Manman exclaimed.
However, she was too late. Yuan Yuwan’s fingers were scalded, and she accidentally knocked over two cups of tea.
The overturned teacup rolled on the tray, spilling all the hot tea. It was about to splash onto Feng Manman’s hand, which was holding the tray.
Yuan Yuwan didn’t have time to think. She quickly knocked the tray to the ground. This way, all the tea was tilted to her side, soaking her dress.
A clang sounded especially loud in the silent night.
“Miss, are you alright?” You Bai pulled Yuan Yuwan back and said angrily, “What’s wrong with you?”
Feng Manman was shocked and apologized in a panic. “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.”
Tears appeared in her beautiful eyes. She stood there at a loss, looking helpless and anxious.
Yuan Yuwan was stunned.
Shen Yijia, who was hiding in the dark, wanted to go out when the tea was spilled, but You Yi grabbed her by the back of her collar and dragged her back.
Shen Yijia asked, “What are you doing?”
You Yi quickly let go and explained, “Someone’s here.”
He had accidentally treated Miss as his teammate.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was the sound of hurried hooves in the alley. A carriage stopped in the noodle shop.
A pale-faced man alighted from the carriage with the help of his attendants.
“Why is Xiao Qirui here?” Shen Yijia shrank back.
You One thought to himself, “Please treat me as a prop.”
“Young General Xiao…”
“Brother Xiao.”
You Bai and Feng Manman spoke at the same time.
Yuan Yuwan didn’t say anything. She just looked calmly at the man limping towards her.
Xiao Ruoshui and Shen Yijia did not hold back. In order to protect his vitals, Xiao Qirui instinctively covered his head with his hand, so his hand was dislocated. He was still holding it in front of his chest with a bandage.
“Brother Xiao, why are you injured?” Feng Manman exclaimed and ran over, reaching out to help him.
Xiao Qirui subconsciously turned his body to the side to avoid her hand. It was a simple action, but it hurt so much that he frowned and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Feng Manman did not seem to notice his intention to avoid suspicion. She held his hand and took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat. Her heart ached so much that tears fell. “Brother Xiao, what’s wrong? Weren’t you fine in the morning?”
Just as she raised her hand, she noticed Xiao Qirui’s gaze. Feng Manman stopped and followed his gaze. She asked, “Do you know each other?”
Yuan Yuwan pinched her fingers and smiled faintly. She bowed slightly. “Young Master Xiao.”
Xiao Qirui’s heart tightened.
For some reason, when he heard that Miss Yuan had come to the noodle shop, his first reaction was not to be afraid that something would happen to Feng Manman, but to be worried that Yuan Yuwan would misunderstand.
However, hadn’t he already made his choice?
He endured the pain in his body and pulled his hand out. When he met Yuan Yuwan’s calm eyes, he suddenly felt disgusted with himself.
“Why did you meddle in other people’s business on Chang’an Avenue that day?” he thought.
If he hadn’t saved Feng Manman, these things wouldn’t have happened.
Xiao Qirui said, “I…”
“Can we talk?” Yuan Yuwan asked.
Panic flashed across Feng Manman’s face, but You Bai had already come to pull her back.
She looked at Xiao Qirui for help. Xiao Li took a big step behind her and blocked her vision.
“Miss Feng, I’m hungry. Can you help me make a bowl of noodles?”
You Bai puffed up her cheeks. “Coincidentally, I’m hungry too.”
Feng Manman had no way of asking for help. She was sandwiched between the two of them and went to the kitchen.
Only Yuan Yuwan and Xiao Qirui were left in the hall.
Xiao Qirui noticed the mess on the ground and the tea stains on Yuan Yuwan’s body. He opened his mouth. “You…”
“Young Master Xiao is injured. Please sit down.”
Yuan Yuwan moved a stool in front of him, but she didn’t support him.
Xiao Qirui nodded.
Apart from the distant glance at the palace banquet, this could be considered the second time the two of them had officially met.
“I’m sorry,” Xiao Qirui said guiltily.
“Young Master Xiao, you don’t have to apologize to me.” Yuan Yuwan sat down opposite him. “I should thank Young Master Xiao. If not for you, I would have gone with Grandfather when he left.”
Although the previous Pavilion Master Yuan, Old Master Yuan’s protection was based on her calculations, it was the only love she had received.
When the sky fell, she did have the intention to die. It was Xiao Qirui who gave her hope of survival.
“Are you worried that I’ll hurt her, so you rushed over despite your health?” Yuan Yuwan asked.
When Xiao Qirui saw her just now, he looked nervous but not surprised.
He must have sent someone to protect Feng Manman.
Xiao Qirui opened his mouth but did not say anything. Since he had already decided to break off the engagement, what was the point of explaining?
Yuan Yuwan nodded. “Does General Xiao not agree to let you marry her?”
She was terrifyingly calm, as if the person opposite her was not the man she was engaged to.
Xiao Qirui panicked. “Miss Yuan, you…”
Yuan Yuwan interrupted him and continued, “I don’t think General Xiao will agree to her marriage even if you break off the engagement with me. Why don’t I help you?
Shen Yijia opened her mouth and turned around to look at You Yi.
In the end, she met a pair of phoenix eyes.
Shen Yijia thought to herself, “Why did You Yi become my beautiful husband?”
