Chapter 206: His Affections 6
“I really don’t like her,” he said firmly and decisively.
“Alright, alright, you don’t like her.” Was this how a person who liked someone for the first time behaved? How unhinged.
Tan Xiangdie had never seen Jiang Yeqian act like this before.
They had only ever discussed work matters during their occasional meet-up before.
Jiang Yeqian was one who rarely drank. He was mostly calm and self-sufficient; if he were not looking for various intelligence resources, he was analyzing something.
He had never heard of this man fancying anyone.
Who would have thought that this time…
Jiang Yeqian repeated firmly, “I really don’t like her.”
“I believe you, you don’t like her.” Tan Xiangdie felt a little lazy to deal with the guy.
“Your expression tells me you’re not taking this seriously.” Jiang Yeqian said heavily as he leaned forward again and grabbed the lapels of Tan Xiangdie’s shirt.
Tan Xiangdie felt like laughing from how pissed off the drunk man was making him. “I say you don’t like her and you say I’m not taking you seriously, I shall say that you do like her and ask you to refute me. What do you want me to say?”
“I really don’t like her.” He continued pressing firmly as he tried to convince the other of his words.
“Alright, alright, alright. You don’t, you don’t.” He could not help but roll his eyes.
“You have to believe me, I really don’t like her!!!”
“…”
…
Qi Qingyao had no idea what had transpired the night before. After waking up at dawn, she saw someone sitting outside the window just as she opened it to let the air in. It was Si Jin and he almost scared her to death.
“Don’t tell me you slept outside my window yesterday.” Qi Qingyao patted her chest as she spoke somewhat incoherently.
“I did,” said Si Jin.
Qi Qingyao was taken aback for a bit before she said, “I’ve chased him away and now the room is yours alone, yet you don’t use it. What’s the point of me spending money to book another room then?”
After Si Jin came in through the window, he helped Erniu put on a cotton jacket as he relayed the affairs from last night to Qi Qingyao. Qi Qingyao felt a cold sweat on her entire body after he was done telling the story.
“Why would someone want to assassinate me? I didn’t offend anyone. I’m just an ordinary person.”
If this was a game, then d*mn, it was like she had already been targeted by the professionals despite having not left the beginner’s ville. This was…truly unpleasant.
Was she about to be killed in the beginner’s ville?
After Si Jin helped Erniu put on her cotton jacket, he carried her off from the bed. He said as he styled her hair, “Sister, you know the Master Architect Li Qinglian and have connections to Su Hexiao. Do you really still think you’re an ordinary person?”
“…” At that, Qi Qingyao went silent.
Si Jin continued, “The masters were invited from Qingzhou City. After they returned, all they needed to do was just talk around for a bit and everyone would know that there is someone here who is connected to the Master Architect Li Qinglian.”
“He’s just an architect, there’s no reason that this would bring me the risk of getting killed.” Qi Qingyao did not want to believe this fact.
Pondering for a moment, Si Jin then said, “Heir Pei is gradually healing from his illness, this will surely spread to the ears of people who care. We lived in the Lord Heir’s residence for ten days. One need only keep their ears open a bit and they’d know that Heir Pei has given you a gift recently! This proves that he wants to build a good relationship with you. However, this act alone has also gotten many others to pay attention to you and realize your uniqueness.”
“…”
Qi Qingyao was quiet for a long time. She washed her face then said, “Then, why didn’t you remind me of this?”
Si Jin scratched his head. “Jiang Bai and I both thought you were sure about wanting to enter Capital City in the future. Besides, why would we stop you when you brought out Master Architect Li Qinglian’s brilliant masterpiece? It was a glorious thing.”
Qi Qingyao, “…”
She had not thought about it much before.
No.
To be more accurate.
She had not known at all that there was a Master Li Qinglian here when she brought out the blueprint. She only found out when she was preparing to work on it.
As for her treating Heir Pei, she just took a look at his illness.
Who would have thought that there would exist this miraculous doctor, Su Hexiao?
