New Return of the Pearl: A Different Qing Er

Chapter 143: A very cliché plot, a hero saves a beautiful girl

During this period, not only were the issues between Xu Tian and Benjamin resolved, but Han Xiang and Meidan's issues also made great progress.

During this period, the emperor occasionally went to Baoyue Tower a few times, but Hanxiang was always cold and indifferent. No matter how enthusiastic the emperor was, his enthusiasm was extinguished.

Gradually, I stopped going to see Hanxiang.

When the queen heard the news, she was happy and did not cause any trouble again.

The days go by.

Today is the last day out of the palace before the New Year. Song Qing and everyone else met up with Zhihua outside the palace.

"Qing'er, Tiantian, Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei." Zhihua saw everyone and hurried forward.

"Tiantian, I heard that you and painter Ban have settled your marriage. Congratulations!" Zhihua's father brought the news back.

"Oh, I wanted to give you a surprise, but you already knew the news!" Xu Tian originally wanted to tell Zhihua herself, but she already knew it.

"Are we going to the guest house today?" Zhihua smiled and asked.

"Yes, let's go to Huibinlou today. As the year draws to a close, Huibinlou's business has been booming recently, so let's go and help out today." Song Qing was about to speak when Xiao Jian's voice spoke faster.

During this period, Zhihua became more and more familiar with them, and occasionally went to Huibin Building to help them.

Song Qing and Ertai looked at each other and understood.

Some time ago, Ertai had also noticed a few good people and wanted to introduce them to Zhihua, but Xiao Jian had picked them out from head to toe. As a result, none of them was suitable, so Ertai did not introduce them to Zhihua in the end.

Song Qing also knew about this. At the time, they both felt that there was something wrong with Xiao Jian. Now it seems that he might have some feelings for Zhihua, but whether Zhihua knew about it or not is another matter.

Everyone went to the Huibin Building together. Liu Qing and Liu Hong were already very busy.

"Liu Qing Liu Hong!"

"Oh! You're here! I'm busy here, so I can't entertain you yet!" When Liu Qing saw that it was Xiaoyanzi and the others, he spoke quickly, and then was called away.

"Xiaoyanzi, come quickly, come and help!" When Liu Hong saw it was Xiaoyanzi, she started shouting without any courtesy.

Xiaoyanzi quickly ran over to help Liuhong clean up.

Seeing this, everyone started to help.

Zhihua helped to clear the table, and Xiao Jian was responsible for serving as waiter.

"Hey! You are so pretty, young lady! Come and have a drink with us!"

Zhihua looked at the burly man in front of her and took a step back. It was the first time she encountered such a situation, and she said in a panic: "Sir, I don't drink, thank you for your kindness."

After saying this, Zhihua picked up the plate and prepared to leave.

Seeing that Zhihua didn't give him face, the man reached out to grab Zhihua, but Zhihua ran too fast and he only grabbed her clothes.

But the man was too strong and pulled Zhihua backwards. She was about to fall and the plate in her hand fell to the ground.

Xiao Jian, who had just finished serving food to guests at other tables, turned around and saw this scene.

He quickly stepped forward to catch Zhihua and knocked the man's hand away.

When Zhihua was held in Xiao Jian's arms, her face suddenly turned red. Perhaps because she was afraid, she shrank into Xiao Jian's arms.

"Zhihua, are you okay?" Xiao Jian's worried voice sounded above his head.

Zhihua raised her head and shook her head: "I'm fine."

After making sure that Zhihua was fine, Xiao Jian turned to look at the person who had just caused trouble.

When Song Qing and others heard the noise, they hurried over.

"You dare to hit me! Do you know who it is?" When the man saw that he was hit, he pointed at Xiao Jian and shouted.

"I don't care who you are! What did you want to do just now?" Xiao Jian didn't care who the man was! They were all either officials or princesses, how could they be afraid of him! What a joke!

"What's going on! What happened?" Little Swallow ran over and asked.

"I let her drink a glass just to give her face, but she dared to disobey!" The man continued to speak when he saw that Xiao Jian was not intimidated.

"You bastard!" Xiaoyanzi knew as soon as she heard that the man was trying to tease Zhihua, so she went up and punched him.

Xiao Jian did not take action. Xiao Yanzi was enough to deal with these scums alone.

The man was beaten black and blue and had to leave in shame.

Liu Qing and Liu Hong hurriedly went to Song Qing and took Zhihua to the room upstairs to rest.

Zhihua didn't go, and she didn't fall. Even if Xiao Jian caught her, it would be fine. Everyone was busy, and it wouldn't be a good idea for her to go and rest on her own.

"No, I'm fine. No need to rest." Zhihua said and asked everyone to continue working.

Xiao Jian was worried about Zhihua this time, so he had to follow her.

Zhihua knew that Xiao Jian was there all the time, and she couldn't help but think of the scene of the two of them hugging each other just now, and her face turned red again.

After working all afternoon, everyone was hungry and tired.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone! Let's eat." Liu Qing looked at everyone and brought the last dish to the table.

"Oh! Liu Qing and Liu Hong! I tell you, I'm almost dying of exhaustion. You must compensate me well!" Xiaoyanzi said with a smile.

"Don't worry! You'll be full!" Liu Hong smiled and joked after hearing what Xiaoyanzi said.

Ertai sat next to Song Qing and kept picking up food for her.

Xiao Jian looked at his hands that were about to move, and finally couldn't help but pick up a piece of food for Zhihua beside him.

"This is pretty good, give it a try."

Zhihua looked at the food in the bowl and whispered, "Thank you." Then she picked it up and ate it.

Everyone at the table was shocked by Xiao Jian's action. They didn't expect that Xiao was secretly interested in Zhihua!

Of course, Song Qing and Ertai were exceptions, as they had already seen through Xiao Jian's intention.

Seeing Zhihua eating the food she had picked up, Xiao Jian picked up another piece with his chopsticks.

During the meal, Zhihua hardly ever reached out to pick up any food. As soon as she looked at Xiao Jian, his food arrived.

Zhihua's face turned red during the meal.

Someone is also very happy.
