Chapter 91
Jun Qian Che looks at the crowd before solemnly saying, “She is my wife . ”
Mo Qi Qi laughs awkwardly before promptly giving Jun Qian Che a glare .
Everyone laughs . “We know . You two don’t look like siblings at all . You two look really good together . Very compatible,” says a middle-aged lady .
Another person pipes in, “You two must have eloped . That’s why you didn’t tell the truth . ”
Seeing the villagers completely trusting Jun Qian Che, Mo Qi Qi can only, though reluctantly, admits that they are married . She points at her own face, feigning ignorance, “Is there the word ‘elope’ written on our foreheads? How did all of you know?”
Jun Qian Che glares at her unhappily upon seeing that acting skill .
Mo Qi Qi raises her eyebrows at him provokingly, secretly praising herself for being so good at acting .
The villagers are amused by Mo Qi Qi’s words, “No . You two simply look like a pair of husband and wife . ”
Jun Qian Che is really happy to hear that while Mo Qi Qi secretly curses under her breath: Impossible! How could they possibly look like a pair of husband and wife?
“What are your surnames?” one of the villagers asks .
Mo Qi Qi smiles, “My surname is Mo and his is Jun . ”
“Mr . Jun, Miss Mo,” the villagers respectfully greets them .
“How come your surnames are similar to the two most honourable surnames in our kingdom? Jun is the surname of our Emperor and Mo is the surname of our Empress,” says one of the young men .
Mo Qi Qi laughs guiltily, “That is just a coincidence . How can we compare to the n.o.ble Emperor and Empress . Who would have thought that you would know what their surnames are . ”
That young man laughs, “Do not think that we are not updated to the outside world just because we live under a cliff . There is a pa.s.sage that leads out of this place so we frequently goes to town to buy things . We are pretty updated with what is going on outside . ”
Mo Qi Qi and Jun Qian Che exchange a look .
“There is a way out?” asks Mo Qi Qi exuberantly .
“Yes! Don’t worry about getting out!”
“This is too good!” smiles Mo Qi Qi brightly .
The middle-aged man in the beginning steps forward again, “Mr . Jun, Miss Mo, I am this village’s head . Welcome to our village . The day is dark, both of you can rest at my home . We have an empty room over there . ”
“We will have to bother you, then,” says Jun Qian Che .
“You are too courteous, Mr . Jun . Please,” invites the village’s head friendlily .
They both follow the head to his home . The crowd begins to disperse, returning to their own respective houses .
Upon reaching the village head’s house, they are greeted with a sumptuous meal prepared by the village head’s wife .
The people in this village are really friendly and kind . They are not hostile towards strangers like some villagers ought to be . The views are great too . Although the village is located at the bottom of a cliff, the scenery is heavenly . There are trees and flowers everywhere .
After dinner, they chat with the village head and his wife in the courtyard for a while, before resting early for the night .
The wife leads them to an empty room, “This room belongs to my son and my daughter-in-law . They live in the city and rarely come home, so this room has been empty . I’ve already changed the beddings and the quilts . Rest early . ”
“Thank you,” says Jun Qian Che politely .
The village head’s wife shakes her head, “As long as you don’t mind staying in this room . ”
“This place is really pretty, we like it very much, how could we possibly mind staying here? Thank you, Auntie!” says Mo Qi Qi happily .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt
“You are too polite, Miss Mo . Rest early,” says the head’s wife before leaving .
“You are too polite, Miss Mo . Rest early,” says the head’s wife before leaving .
Mo Qi Qi looks around happily, “This place is really good . The scenery is beautiful, the air is refreshing, the villagers are friendly, everything is peaceful, I never knew such a place existed!”
Jun Qian Che sits in front of a table calmly, “You like this place?”
Mo Qi Qi nods, “Yes! This place is like a celestial’s dwelling! So surreal! The people are so nice!”
“The villagers here are indeed nice, but you are not suited to this place,” says Jun Qian Che, not bothering to be courteous .
Mo Qi Qi looks at him curiously, “Why?”
“The villagers here are honest and kind . You, on the other hand, speaks lies after lies,” says him heartlessly .
Mo Qi Qi glares at him angrily, “When did I speak lies after lies? I was only telling a white lie! I didn’t want to risk exposing our ident.i.ties . ”
“You lied to them and told them we were siblings . Was it really done to protect our ident.i.ties? You did not even look guilty when they found out that you were lying,” Jun Qian Che is very dissatisfied with that part .
