Chapter 126: Making Up

Translator: YTJS_  Editor: Perriemix

Xia Chunyu didn’t know about Consort Mei’s incident, so when she dropped that bomb, he was shocked. What did Consort Mei want with Yaoyao?

He was still pondering over that when Yaoyao left.

He stared at the empty seat in front him, recalling her tone and her expression…

No! This is not good!

He stood up and rushed to her room.

Ye Jiayao placed a square homespun cloth on the bed, opened the cupboards, and started packing. She did not have many things. All the woman’s clothing she has was what Chunyu asked Song Qi to buy, and she wouldn’t be taking those. He could keep it or throw it away.

However, even though she only has a few things, they were all valuable so staying at an inn would not be safe. She did not want to go to Lai Fu Inn because Manager Du would just worry about her. Her only other option was Heavenly Residence. Now that she was the Head Chef, and an Imperial Mobile Chef, at that, she was positive that Shopkeeper Li would permit her to stay in the Lotus Attic for the night. Maybe she could even talk him into giving her her own room tomorrow.  Mmm, I think I’m set…

Just as Ye Jiayao was bundling up her bag, her door opened.

Xia Chunyu, upon seeing the baggage she was holding, raced in and snatched it away.

“What are you doing?” Xia Chunyu asked, flustered.

Ye Jiayao replied emotionlessly, “Give me back my baggage.”

“No, stop. Don’t be so childish. How do you think Uncle and Auntie Jiang will feel when you leave the house?” Xia Chunyu said softly

Ye Jiayao sneered, “Leave me alone. I’m very grateful for making all these arrangements for me, but I don’t need nor want it anymore. I accepted it then because I thought you were doing it because I was special to you. Now, though, since you’ve made yourself clear, I can’t stay here any longer. I don’t care if I have to sleep on the streets, I’m not going to continue to stay here.”

Ye Jiayao made a move to take her bag back but Xia Chunyu held on tightly to it.

“What? I didn’t say anything! You are putting words in my mouth.”

“Just stop, okay? If yanking me around like this is fun to you, well, count me out.”

“I had a drop too much, I was spouting nonsense. I’m sorry,” Xia Chunyu apologized. The last time she left him, he spent a great deal of effort to coax her back. If she leaves now, with Little Jing dogging her step all the time, she might not come back.

Ye Jiayao scoffed, “In vino veritas.”*

“Alright. I admit I said all those things just to spite you. It’s just… you don’t consider my feelings. The day before, I waited so long for you at the back door but you ended up leaving with Little Jing without even telling me. When I came back today to the news that you were in the palace, you can’t even begin to imagine the fear I felt. I only found out that you’re safe when I rushed into the palace!

“Then I went to look for you at Heavenly Residence, intending to have a meal with you, but your co-workers informed me that you were with Little Jing. Again.  How do you want me to think? You are dressed up as a man, you can land yourself into all sorts of trouble. Yaoyao, I was so angry because I care about you.

“When we fight, it is just natural that we would talk brashly. We’d try to make each other feel horrible and guilty, but I… don’t like seeing that I hurt you. I felt terrible saying those words. I’m sorry. Don’t leave, alright?” Xia Chunyu said, pouring his heart out in every word.
