The Eunuch is Pregnant

Chapter 172: Le Yao Yao was tone deaf



Chapter 172: Le Yao Yao was tone deaf

This was the first time Le Yao Yao played a guqin. Her playing was unbearable. Even she felt goosebumps listening to herself (and they weren’t the good type of goosebumps).

Eh?! Why was it that when Dongfang Bai played, he sounded like sounds of nature; but when she played, she sounded like she was trying to seal a death charm?

Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao felt very bad and stopped playing. She looked kind of depressed.

Seeing this, Dongfang Bai smiled and tried to comfort her, “Actually, it’s not bad. After all, it’s your first time.”

“Really?!” Hearing Dongfang Bai’s praise, Le Yao Yao immediately felt a lot better. She was filled with confidence again. She was ready to take on this new challenge.

Although she was tone deaf and it sounded awful, the listener didn’t mind…so why should she?

As a result, Le Yao Yao spent the entire afternoon learning. Since Le Yao Yao was a relatively fast learner, she ended up making substantial improvements after practicing for an entire afternoon.

Dongfang Bai continued to encourage her, and Le Yao Yao was very happy. She loved learning and wanted to play even more.

Le Yao Yao wasn’t sure what the reason was…was it because she wanted to impress Dongfang Bai? Or was it something else?

Currently, Dongfang Bai was standing behind her as he reached his hands above Le Yao Yao to fix her position. Whenever Le Yao Yao played a wrong note, he would guide her.

So now, one of them was being a focused student while the other one was being a focused teacher. Both of their attention were purely on the instrument. However, to someone else, their gestures implied much more.

“What are you two doing?” A low voice growled.

Le Yao Yao was very dedicated to her practice when she suddenly heard the familiar icy voice.

It was clearly Summer and the weather was roasting hot. Yet, this voice was like the bitter cold. It had the ability to drop the surrounding temperature by several degrees.

Standing by the entrance of the back courtyard were Leng Jun Yu and Nian Sulan. Leng Jun Yu’s icy aura and furious eyes were an indication that he was mad.

“Eh…?” Seeing how angry Leng Jun Yu was, Le Yao Yao felt speechless.

What the heck is wrong with him now?! Wasn’t he fine this morning?

But when her eyes landed on the woman next to him, Le Yao Yao felt as if her mind exploded.

Why was Nian Sulan with the King of Hell? She was aware that the Dowager Empress had asked to see the King of Hell. But now, he was with Sulan? Could they have been together this whole time?

Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao felt very uncomfortable. It was as if her heart was rolling in vinegar.

So now, her face appeared more depressed. But although she was upset, Le Yao Yao knew her position. She was a servant, so she must act her role accordingly.

Le Yao Yao instantly stood up and respectfully greeted the King of Hell.

“Servant wishes Prince Rui well.”

However, although Le Yao Yao was being respectful, Leng Jun Yu’s face still looked very menacing.

The atmosphere was very awkward. Even Nian Sulan could sense it. So, she turned her seductive eyes on the little eunuch; appearing confused.

The little eunuch looked very cute. His skin was comparable to an unshelled hard boiled egg. There were absolutely no imperfections on his face.

She had never seen such an attractive looking eunuch before!

But although the little eunuch was cute, why was Jun Xi staring at him for so long?

At this moment, Dongfang Bai greeted Leng Jun Yu.”Jun Yu, you’re here.”

Readlightnovel is a piece of shit.

“Mmm.”

Leng Jun Yu responded very coldly. Then, he turned his frozen face to his friend, “What were you two doing?”

“Oh? Just now, brother Yao wanted to learn how to play the guqin. So, I was teaching him.”

Dongfang Bai was accustomed to Leng Jun Yu’s coldness. After all, they have known each other for years. Leng Jun Yu’s face had always been comparable to a frozen mountain. Seeing him smile was almost like witnessing a miracle.

Hearing Dongfang Bai’s words, Leng Jun Yu furrowed his brows and stared at the guqin. Then, he pursed his lips and said no more. He took huge steps towards the stone table where Le Yao Yao and Dongfang Bai had their tea and snacks earlier.

Seeing this, Dongfang Bai ordered his servants to deliver tea.

Xiao Tang was aware of Leng Jun Yu’s real identity, so he wasted no time and quickly delivered the tea to all the visitors.

As for Le Yao Yao, now that Leng Jun Yu was here, she could no longer practice the guqin. After all, she had to serve her boss.

Especially when her boss had such an unstable personality. Based on his nasty expression, someone must have pissed him off today..

She better watch her steps and not mess with lightning!

So now, Le Yao Yao was standing behind Leng Jun Yu.

Currently, Dongfang Bai, Leng Jun Yu, and Nian Sulan were all sitting underneath the tree. After Xiao Tang delivered the tea, Dongfang Bai turned to ask Leng Jun Yu, “What brings you here today?”

“I just left the Palace. Since I have yet to visit your clinic, I decided to do so today.”

“Oh, I see.” Dongfang Bai smiled. Then, his eyes landed on Nian Sulan.

At the exact moment, Nian Sulan’s eyes were also on Dongfang Bai. Then, she immediately gave him a brilliant smile as she sweetly commented, “Last night, thanks for everything, Physician Dongfang. I never thought that the famous number one miracle doctor would be so young.”

Nian Sulan spoke very eloquently. If it were any other guy, they would definitely go insane upon receiving such a high praise from a stunning woman.

But Dongfang Bai merely smiled in response. He wasn’t the slightest bit affected by this beauty’s charm.

“Haha. I don’t deserve so much praise. How is your ankle injury? Would you like me to check it again?” He kindly replied.

“Physician Dongfang’s art of healing is superior. My ankle is already healed. Thank you so much for your ointment!”

“Haha, you’re welcome. It is only a trivial matter. No need to overthink it.”

The conversation continued a bit longer, then suddenly Nian Sulan looked up at the sky.

The Sun was beginning to set. Soon, the sky will be dark.

She had to try so hard before she was able to use her aunt’s authority to get her cousin Yu to spend time with her. So naturally, Nian Sulan did not want to return back so soon.

But at this rate, Leng Jun Yu will probably suggest taking her home. Hence, Sulan thought of an idea and her eyes lit up. She turned towards Leng Jun Yu and asked, “Cousin Yu, I haven’t been back to the Capital in five years. I’ve heard that by the West Lake, there are many decorated pleasure boats. I’m sure the scenery is lovely during the day, but it must be even more spectacular at night. How about we go for a late ride and enjoy the evening while admiring the nightscape?”

Currently, Nian Sulan looked like a child who was trying to gain the approval of an adult. Her eyes were pleading and her voice was very cute and whiney.

However, Leng Jun Yu had his hand on his teacup. He was enjoying his tea, and appeared to turn a deaf ear towards her.

Nian Sulan was not upset by Leng Jun Yu’s cold reaction. Because, she had grown up with this man, so she knew what he was like.

Leng Jun Yu had never been the type to smile or show affection towards anyone. He was always cold and icy. Even if the sky were to collapse, he wouldn’t reveal any fear on his face.

Yet, the colder he was, the more she wanted him.

Regardless of the past or now, her feelings for him had never changed.

“It is getting late, this Prince will escort you home.”

“Aww, cousin Yu….” Sulan’s eyes were filled with disappointment. In addition, she stretched out her words to indicate how upset she was.

Everyone could tell she was unhappy, but Leng Jun Yu didn’t care. So, ultimately, Nian Sulan could only accept it, “Alright….”

Since Leng Jun Yu didn’t want to go, there was nothing more she could do. But the future was long. As long as she stayed by his side, she believed that even a thousand years of ice will melt one day. So now, Nian Sulan regained her confidence.

But at this moment, a bright voice suddenly rang in the air. It was filled with mischief and excitement.

“Eh?! You guys were just talking about going for a ride on the West Lake? That’s great! It’s a stunning sight and there’s also lots of great snacks we could try. They have enough to fill the entire streets! They have pan fried, deep fried, and stir fried! So delicious!”

He hadn’t arrived yet. But his voice was already here.

Everyone turned towards the entrance of the back courtyard and saw Nangong Jun Xi strutting in.

At this moment, the Sun had already begun to sink. However, the gorgeous mandarin orange sun rays still managed to penetrate through the thick clouds. It made everything appear very warm.

Dongfang Bai and Leng Jun Yu nodded to greet Nangong Jun Xi.

As for Nian Sulan, she was aware of Nangong Jun Xi’s real identity. Hence, she stood up from her seat and curtsied graciously.
