"Mom, dear, I've killed someone..." Yu Wei shouted in a panic, shaking Qing Luan back and forth, making her dizzy. Inside, she was seething: This guy is doing it on purpose!
"Let go!" Xuanyuan Rui rushed over, remaining relatively calm, but his eyes were fixed on the man causing trouble, threateningly saying, "If you don't let go, don't blame me for being rude!"
"What do you want to do?" Yu Wei was surprised to see Xuanyuan Rui. But as Linglong's mind turned, she quickly realized that his anger was directed at Qing Luan. She deliberately cried out to Qing Luan with a pitiful tone, "Dear, help me! I'm scared!"
You're scared? Qing Luan shot him a sideways glance, disdainfully curling her lip.
"Let go," Xuanyuan Rui said, his killing intent intensifying as Yu Wei not only refused to release her but tightened his grip even more.
Yu Wei wanted to continue teasing the man in front of him, but upon seeing the emerging killing intent and the change in his gaze, he began to ponder who this guy was and why he exuded such a strong aura. Were Xuanyuan Rui and Qing Luan really a pair?
Seeing that Yu Wei hesitated and stopped causing a scene, Qing Luan broke free from his grasp and lowered her head, calmly saying, "He crawled out from a pile of corpses. If you value your life, you might want to let him help you while you can!" Even Chimera wasn't his match; Yu Wei would be dealt with in one move.
"Crawled out from a pile of corpses..." Yu Wei's face changed slightly as he took a few steps back. After murmuring to himself, he looked up and asked, "What do you do?" Qing Luan's ambiguous words made it easy for people to think in the wrong direction—this was the capital's core area; there shouldn't be any psychopathic killers wandering around!
Xuanyuan Rui would definitely knock him out if he knew what he was thinking.
"Who are you?" Xuanyuan Rui didn't respond to Yu Wei but walked over to Qing Luan's side and questioned the man rudely. He had no good feelings toward this guy. While others kept their distance from Qing Luan politely, this man had ulterior motives and dared to pull her so close. It ignited a fire within him; he wanted nothing more than to teach this guy a lesson.
"I... dear, please tell him I'm not a bad person!" Yu Wei stammered in fear as he pleaded with Qing Luan.
A-Song and the others watched as Yu Wei lost his arrogance and stifled their laughter, thinking: It really is true that one thing overcomes another!
Yu Wei's brashness left the young lady helpless. Xuanyuan Rui couldn't handle her indifference either. Now that Yu Wei saw the furious Xuanyuan Rui, if that wasn't one thing overcoming another, then what was it?
" Luan'er, who is he?" Seeing Yu Wei gazing at Qing Luan with such grievance, Xuanyuan Rui quietly asked the person beside him.
" Him?" Qing Luan glanced at Yu Wei with a playful expression, finding his current demeanor quite endearing. She tapped her head, blinking in confusion before hesitantly saying, "I don't know if he's a bad person..." It was only after noticing the change in Xuanyuan Rui's gaze and Yu Wei's face turning pale that Qing Luan calmly explained, "But he is someone I brought to lend to Fu Tianlin!"
" Phew!" Although Yu Wei was dissatisfied with this answer, he noticed that after the lady finished speaking, the man's expression had changed, and at least there was less killing intent. He let out a deep breath—only then did he realize he had been so scared that he was sweating cold.
" Luan'er, let's go upstairs. I have something to discuss with you," Xuanyuan Rui said. After glancing around at the many people nearby, he suddenly felt it was inconvenient to meet Qing Luan either at Jade Pavilion or Ruyi Tower. He thought about when he could take Qing Luan to the General's Mansion; that would make things much easier for him.
Lord Xuanyuan, you're overthinking it. Miss Zhu lacks everything except for houses and money. It's a bit difficult to just take her away like that.
"Oh, okay!" Qing Luan didn't object. Before heading upstairs, she shot a glance at Yu Wei and said, "The Tianxiang Restaurant is up to you. If I find out there's even a single coin missing, you'll have to pay me back tenfold. Do you understand?"
"You... I understand!" Yu Wei wanted to protest but immediately shrank back upon meeting her subtly threatening black eyes, responding with dissatisfaction.
Who on earth is this pest!?
After Qing Luan left with Xuanyuan Rui, Yu Wei immediately grabbed A-Song and asked, "Who is that man? Why is Miss so nice to him?" Hmph, being alone with someone like that must mean there's something going on!
A-Song pulled his clothes away from Yu Wei's grip, feeling annoyed. After straightening his attire, he replied nonchalantly, "He's the lady's man; of course, she's nice to him!"
"The lady's man?" Yu Wei wasn't joking anymore; he furrowed his brows and looked at A-Song uncertainly. "A-Song, are you kidding me?!"
Clearly, when he parted ways with the lady, there wasn't even a shadow beside her. How did a man suddenly appear with such strong possessiveness over her? And why did she accept him so quickly? This seemed a bit abnormal. The lady's temperament appeared calm and gentle, but she always maintained a certain distance from others unintentionally. If it weren't for his relentless pursuit, she wouldn't even remember him.
There were too many people in the Merchant Alliance—no, there were too many useful people. Very few could catch the lady's attention; she controlled everything while entrusting the rest to those she trusted and deemed capable. That's how the Merchant Alliance expanded so greatly. Yet those close to her were only A-Song and Qin'er, along with Sister Yun; the rest were still trying hard.
"Am I kidding you?" A-Song scoffed disdainfully and asked him back, "Is there any candy?"
"Ha!" Qin'er couldn't hold it in any longer. After standing by like a wooden statue for a long time, she finally doubled over with laughter. "Haha... A-Song, you crack me up!"
She mimicked the young lady's mannerisms, making Yu Wei look foolish. He deserved it!
Seeing Qin'er laugh so heartily only confirmed Yu Wei's suspicions. He glared at A-Song and said, "I knew you were lying to me. Hmph, how could she just casually find some man..."
Noticing his misunderstanding, Qin'er stifled her laughter and pretended to be serious. "A-Song didn't lie to you. Xuanyuan General is way better than you, you rogue! Dream on if you think the young lady would be interested in you!"
"Xuanyuan General?" Yu Wei seized on that point, scratching his head in confusion. "Did the young lady say he crawled out of a pile of dead bodies?" This was completely different!
"Pfft, Xuanyuan General goes to battle and fights enemies himself; he didn't crawl out of a pile of dead bodies! Should he crawl out of a pile of living people instead?" A-Song rolled his eyes at him, too lazy to argue further. He turned to Qin'er and said, "It's time to prepare the late-night snack; the young lady will want it soon!"
"Okay!" Qin'er managed to suppress her laughter as she walked past Yu Wei with a serious expression.
Poor Yu Wei had been thoroughly pranked today.
He stood there alone for quite some time, still pondering whether Xuanyuan Rui was really a general... No, more accurately, he was trying to figure out who was deceiving him: the young lady or A-Song.
