118 Negotiating Terms
Xiao Juan’s observation skills were very sharp.
He noticed that Lo Pingsha had been stealing glances at the screen door from the corner of his eye. Then he associated it with Lo Pingsha’s penchant for food. He immediately guessed what Lo Pingsha was thinking.
However, Yu Niaoniao had brought the snacks herself. He had no right to let her share them with others.
Moreover, Xiao Juan did not approve of eating snacks during work hours.
It was enough for the Justice Department to have a glutton like Yu Niaoniao. He did not want this gluttony to spread to others.
“That’s it. Go about your business.”
After Xiao Juan said this, no matter how unwilling Lo Pingsha was, he had no choice but to leave.
After they left, Xiao Juan said to the girl on the other side of the screen.
“In the future, when there are outsiders around, can you not eat snacks?”
Yu Niaoniao chewed on the popcorn and asked vaguely, “Why? I eat popcorn without making a sound.”
Xiao Juan said, “There are no sounds but there is a smell.”
Yu Niaoniao replied reluctantly, “Okay.”
Lo Pingsha was efficient. After a while, he returned with a portrait.
“Your Highness, this is a portrait of Li Qiao drawn according to Shen Xu’s description.”
As soon as Xiao Juan took the portrait, he saw a small head appear behind the screen.
His temple throbbed.
“What do you want to do now?”
Yu Niaoniao leaned over with a smile. “I’m very curious to see what that Li Qiao looks like.”
With that, she craned her neck to look at the portrait.
Xiao Juan did not dodge and let her be.
The man in the portrait looked extremely ordinary. There was nothing special about him at all.
It was almost impossible to find Li Qiao in the vast sea of people with such a portrait.
Yu Niaoniao clicked her tongue. “This portrait isn’t good. It doesn’t have any personal characteristics at all.”
Xiao Juan looked at her. “From what you’re saying, you know how to draw?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “I can try.”
She had studied sketching in the past. Although she had not drawn for many years, she had a photographic memory and could still remember the technique very clearly.
After spending some time together, Xiao Juan knew that although Yu Niaoniao was a little willful, she never did anything rash. Since she said she could try, she should be confident she could do it.
Hence, Xiao Juan stood up.
“Come to the cell with me.”
However, Yu Niaoniao grabbed his sleeve. “Don’t be in a hurry to leave. You have to promise me a condition first.”
Xiao Juan had a premonition that this woman wanted to take the opportunity to ask for benefits, so he asked, “What do you want?”
As expected, in the next moment, he heard her say with a smile.
“In the future, I’ll eat whatever I want in Mirror House and do whatever I want. As long as I don’t affect others, you can’t control me.”
Xiao Juan looked at her expressionlessly.
Watching this scene, Lo Pingsha was very nervous.
He was worried that Duke Lang would be angry.
After all, everyone in the Justice Department knew that Duke Lang was an extremely serious and cold person. He had always kept his word and had never bargained.
Now that Yu Niaoniao had openly made conditions with Duke Lang, it was no different from plucking a tiger’s beard. It was extremely dangerous.
However, Yu Niaoniao was not afraid at all. She looked at the man expectantly.
“Is it okay?”
Just as Lo Pingsha was about to help smooth things over, Xiao Juan suddenly spoke.
“Are you sure you can draw a portrait of Li Qiao?”
Yu Niaoniao did not dare to say anything definite. She said, “Let me try first. If it works, you’ll agree to my conditions. If not, you’ll pretend I didn’t say anything. How about that?”
Xiao Juan nodded slightly. “Sure.”
Lo Pingsha’s eyes slowly widened in disbelief.
The cold and heartless Duke Lang actually gave in!
