Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 284: Liu Jingyue Acting Cute and Coquettish

Dressed in gorgeous attire, they walked gracefully towards the solemn main hall, their voices filled with laughter and joy, as charming as flowers blooming in spring.

However, on this path leading to the main hall, the gears of fate quietly turned. Not far away, Liu Jingyue was also heading towards the main hall. She walked lightly, but now she was lagging behind Dugu Jingyao and the others.

Liu Jingyue looked at the figures chatting and laughing in front of her, and suddenly a mischievous feeling welled up in her heart. Her smart eyes rolled around, and a brilliant idea instantly came to her mind - scare them!

So, she quickly made a gesture to Zhishu and Shili beside her to keep quiet, and tiptoed to quicken her pace, quietly following behind Dugu Jingyao and the others.

Moreover, when Liu Jingyue passed by other maids, she would put her finger to her lips, signaling them to keep quiet. The maids understood her hint and lowered their heads, pretending not to see anything, and continued to move forward silently.

As time ticked by, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. Finally, at the perfect moment, Liu Jingyue lunged forward, letting out a deafening "Wow!" This sudden action was like a bolt of thunder, striking Dugu Jingyao, Murong Linzhi, and Shen Zhenzhu.

In an instant, the originally relaxed and joyful atmosphere was completely shattered. Murong Linzhi's face turned pale, and she clutched her chest tightly with both hands. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and her breathing became rapid. Shen Zhenzhu was so shocked that she even blurted out the "Amitabha" that she usually said. Only Dugu Jingyao reacted quickly. Her eyes instantly became as sharp as a hawk. She stared at her mischievous sister and said through gritted teeth, "Dugu Jingyue, am I too indulgent with you, so that you have become so lawless? It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson today, you will not know how powerful I am!"

When Liu Jingyue saw that Dugu Jingyao was really going to beat her, she made a face and ran away.

Shen Zhenzhu was afraid that Dugu Jingyao was really going to fight, so she stepped forward to dissuade her: "Jingyao, it's normal for children to be naughty. Don't get angry."

Murong Linzhi recovered from his shock and said, "Yes, yes, children are better off being innocent and playful. It's boring if they are dull and lifeless."

Seeing the two men trying their best to dissuade her, Dugu Jingyao's initial thoughts gradually subsided. She turned to look at Liu Jingyue, who was sprinting away, and shouted, "Stay home this afternoon! Don't go anywhere!"

Hearing this, Liu Jingyue stopped in her tracks, a look of horror on her face. The thought of being stuck at home all day doing nothing, how boring would that be!

Without hesitation, she turned around and ran back, her small hand tightly grasping Dugu Jingyao's sleeve, shaking it like a spoiled child, and said in a sweet voice, "Good sister, I know I was wrong, and there really won't be a next time. Please take me with you, okay?"

However, Dugu Jingyao deliberately put on a stern face, pretending to be still angry, and ignored Liu Jingyue's pleas.

Seeing this, Liu Jingyue was not discouraged. Instead, she continued to pester Dugu Jingyao, hanging around her all the time, calling her in a coquettish voice: "Sister, sister, my dear sister..." These gentle calls were like magic sounds, lingering in Dugu Jingyao's ears and could not be shaken off.

Finally, Dugu Jingyao couldn't stand the noise any more. She could only sigh helplessly and said in a bad mood, "Forget it, forget it. I'll let you off this time, but you must never act like this again! It's okay if you act so recklessly as to scare me, but if you scare my two sisters too much, I'll see how you end up!"

Liu Jingyue nodded slightly, lowered her head, and murmured in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "I understand. Then I..." She stopped talking before she finished speaking, as if she wanted to say something but stopped.

Dugu Jingyao, who was standing by, naturally knew what she was thinking. She nodded slightly to show that she understood her intention, and then said slowly, "You can go in the afternoon, but starting from today when you come back, you will be confined to your house for three days."

Hearing this, Liu Jingyue's originally uneasy heart suddenly became like a turbulent sea, fluctuating. She was happy at first, but before this joy could fully express itself, tears were already welling up in her eyes, as if they would burst out at any moment.

She still didn't give up and tried to plead with Dugu Jingyao again, but Dugu Jingyao said righteously with a serious face: "Don't be so foolish, otherwise it will only make the punishment more severe."

Liu Jingyue knew this was hopeless, so she had no choice but to compromise. But she thought to herself: Since I can't go out, I must have some fun today! Thinking this way, her mood calmed down a bit, and the matter came to a temporary end.

Afterwards, everyone walked towards the main hall. Not long after, Dugu Xin and Dugu Moyan arrived. After exchanging greetings, Dugu Xin immediately ordered the servants to serve the dishes, and everyone took their seats one by one.

After everything was settled, Dugu Jingyao was the first to break the silence and got straight to the point, asking, "Dad, do you have any important arrangements for my cousin this afternoon?"

Dugu Xin shook his head gently and said slowly: "No, what happened?"

Dugu Jingyao's heart suddenly surged with joy, and a smile as beautiful as a flower blossomed on her face. She couldn't wait to say, "That's great! Cousin, come and stroll along the street with us this afternoon!"

However, upon hearing this, Dugu Moyan almost subconsciously wanted to refuse. After all, he knew that if he went along, he would either have to pay the bill or act as a porter to help them carry all their belongings... The thought of it made him exhausted.

Dugu Jingyao seemed to have anticipated his reaction and quickly glanced at Liu Jingyue beside her. The two of them instantly understood each other and had a perfect tacit understanding.

Then, Liu Jingyue took small, light steps and quickly walked to Dugu Moyan's side. She stretched out her little hand and tightly grasped his sleeve. She blinked her big, watery eyes and said coquettishly in a sweet, childish voice, "Cousin, my dear cousin, please, just stay with us! Okay~~"

It had to be said that Liu Jingyue's ability to act coquettishly and cutely was truly remarkable, and she brought out her clingy energy to the fullest. Even Dugu Moyan was a little overwhelmed, his ears filled with her soft pleading, and his head was buzzing.

Dugu Xin, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. He couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he started to persuade them, "Mo Yan, just go out for a walk with them! Don't worry, all the expenses today will be covered by me!"

Dugu Moyan finally gritted his teeth and agreed. Seeing him finally give in, Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue quietly high-fived each other under the table as Liu Jingyue sat back down.
