The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109: 93 Visiting (Second Update)

After fetching water, Xiao Liulang came back home to find Gu Jiao sitting in the living room waiting for him.

Gu Jiao said, “Principal Li was here just now.”

Xiao Liulang carried the water to the backyard and poured it into the tank, “Mm, I ran into him at the village gate.”

Gu Jiao came to the back door of the living room and leaned lightly against the door, “Aren’t you going to ask what he said to me?”

“What did he say?” Xiao Liulang asked casually.

Gu Jiao said nonchalantly, “He said you have a mistress in the Capital City.”

“Gah!” Xiao Liulang nearly choked!

“Don’t you?”

“No.”

“No what?”

“No mistress!”

It’s not that he didn’t go to the Capital City, but that he didn’t have a mistress.

Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows slightly, “Oh, most people’s first reaction to that statement would be ‘I’ve never even been to the Capital City, how could I have a mistress there?’ All you denied was the latter part. So, you’ve been to the Capital City?”

Xiao Liulang replied calmly, “What if I have?”

Gu Jiao asked, “How did you get the pass to the Capital City?”

The Capital City is the capital of Zhan Country, where all the most noble people in Zhan Country live. Its defenses are very strict, and ordinary people simply cannot get a pass.

A commoner like Xiao Liulang could only get in if he won an official examination, otherwise, he would have no chance of entering the Capital City.

“What about you?” Instead of directly answering Gu Jiao’s question, Xiao Liulang deflected the topic back onto her, “What about that box of yours?”

Gu Jiao’s pupils shrank.

Good going.

He’s learned to use her secrets to shut her up, has he?

Leaning on his crutch, Xiao Liulang moved step by step towards her, stopping less than a half-step in front of her, “Tell me where that box of yours came from, and I’ll tell you… how I got the pass to the Capital City.”

This was the first time he’d been this close to Gu Jiao, his breath falling on top of her head.
