Just as this thought flashed through my mind, the figure began to move. My mind heated up, and I rushed forward to stop him, saying: “Hey, brother! Whatever problems you have, we can sit down and think of a solution. Please don’t do anything rash!”
The person turned around upon hearing my call, his ink-black eyes in the night as sharp as an eagle’s, especially when he saw my tight-fitting outfit and couldn’t help but question: “Who are you?”
This voice?
I couldn’t help but look up, and in the next second, my eyes widened. Unexpectedly, it was Qi Yueran.
Qi Yueyin lived in the West Wing, while Qi Yueran lived in the East Wing. The only possibility of seeing him here was that I had mixed up the directions…
When I wanted to see him, I couldn’t; when I didn’t want to see him, I ran into him directly!
What should I do now? Forget it, I’ll run!
He seemed to see through my intention and intercepted my escape route, saying: “Bold thief, do you think the Qi mansion is a place you can come and go as you please?”
As soon as he said this, I immediately became unhappy. He called me a thief? Did I look like someone who was short of money?
I puffed out my cheeks and glared at him: “Hey! Don’t talk nonsense. They say catch thieves with evidence, catch adulterers in the act. Which eye of yours saw me stealing something?”
Qi Yueran coldly confronted me: “If you’re not here to steal, why did you sneak into the Qi mansion so late?”
“I, I… I’m here to see someone!”
My eyes rolled around in their sockets, and after a long pause, I finally squeezed out this reason…
“See someone?”
He frowned in confusion, then immediately asked: “See who?”
“Of course not to see you!” I curled my lips with a slightly provocative tone.
“Speak clearly!” He said coldly with no patience.
Intimidated by his glare, I shrank my neck and said: “I, I’m here to see Second Young Master Qi!”
“Yueyin?” Qi Yueran was stunned, then immediately asked: “Do you know him?”
“Yes, yes!” I nodded my head like a rattle-drum, not caring about anything else, just trying to bluff my way through.
