Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1025: Chapter 1026: Secrets About You

In the end, everyone had left, leaving only Gong Juechen and Meng Zhuqing at the banquet.

Meng Zhuqing wanted to leave as well, but Gong Juechen pulled him back, not allowing him to go, insisting that he stay and drink with him.

Meng Zhuqing reluctantly kept Gong Juechen company for two more cups of wine.

”Zhuzhu, I have a secret to tell you, it’s really a secret,” suddenly, Gong Juechen whispered mysteriously by his side, his voice particularly soft, looking like he was sharing a genuine secret.

With a sly chuckle, Gong Juechen added, ”It’s a secret about you.”

Initially, Meng Zhuqing wasn’t interested in any secrets Gong Juechen had to share, but when he heard it was about him, he became curious and asked, ”A secret about me?”

”Yes,” Gong Juechen smiled wickedly, his smile making Meng Zhuqing’s scalp tingle as if facing a formidable foe.

Still, Meng Zhuqing braced himself and asked, ”What secret?”

”It’s just...” Gong Juechen drew out his words, leisurely sipped another cup of wine before leaning in again, and whispered to Meng Zhuqing, ”Jade Jade must have kissed you.”

Meng Zhuqing felt an overwhelming urge to slap Gong Juechen dead. This man truly had the ability to completely dishonor a young lady with just one sentence.

Gong Juechen, with a meaningful look, saw Meng Zhuqing’s flushed face and deepened his mischievous smile, ”It’s true. The Fulan flower cake that day was fed to you mouth-to-mouth by Jade Jade.”

”Do you want to bet I’ll tear your mouth apart?” Finally, Meng Zhuqing got angry and squeezed those words through his clenched teeth, afraid of being overheard, his voice was kept very low. It was all right to joke with him, but not to tarnish her reputation!

Gong Juechen put on an injured face, whispering his complaint very softly, ”It’s true, that day you were just like the Crown Prince, unconscious, unable to swallow, and the Crown Princess Consort had to mouth-to-mouth feed the Crown Prince the Fulan flower cake, naturally, you needed someone to do the same, and I heard that in your room, aside from yourself, there was only Jade Jade... If not mouth-to-mouth from Jade Jade, how else would you have eaten that Fulan flower cake?”

Damn it, it seemed to really be the case!

Meng Zhuqing’s face turned even redder with anger, and his hand unconsciously touched his lips; he startled himself and quickly removed his hand.

Even if it had been mouth-to-mouth, it must have been her acting out of gratitude and guilt, with no intentions towards him, he must not misunderstand!

With that thought, Meng Zhuqing grabbed Gong Juechen’s clothes in a menacing grip and warned, ”Gong Juechen, I’m warning you, if you say another word that damages the Commandery Princess’s reputation, I will stab you to death.”

Gong Juechen immediately made a frightened expression, but cursed, ”You ungrateful creature, if I had known you’d treat your savior like this, I wouldn’t have given you five Fulan flower cakes... sob sob, I really can’t bear to part with those cakes, but it was the first time my sister made them for me...”

As he spoke, Gong Juechen started fake crying.

Meng Zhuqing’s mouth twitched in annoyance, ”Would I have acted like this if you hadn’t gone too far?”

Suddenly, Gong Juechen burst out laughing with a particularly wicked and sneaky expression, ”Tsk tsk, I just knew you liked her~”

”What nonsense are you spouting!” As Meng Zhuqing withdrew the hand that had grabbed Gong Juechen’s clothes, he also pushed Gong Juechen away from in front of him, not allowing Gong Juechen to smirk at him.

Gong Juechen fell to the ground and simply lay there, still lying on his side facing Meng Zhuqing, propping his head up on one arm; his posture was as lazy and relaxed as could be.
