On the way, seeing him not speaking, I carefully asked, “Hey, you’re not angry, are you? I didn’t mean to interrupt your conversation. It’s all that damn Lan Qiye’s fault, insisting on pulling me to the pavilion. I was really forced!”
As a result, he only coldly threw two words at me: “Shut up!”
I looked aggrieved. Qi Chenxuan spoke again, “Why were you with that guy?”
“Who?” I looked up stupidly.
Qi Chenxuan ground his teeth, “The king of Jing Yue Kingdom!”
“Oh, him?” I frowned, looking very innocent, “I don’t know either! I was hiding on the side, wanting to see your progress, but who knew he would suddenly appear behind me, first saying a bunch of nonsensical words, and then forcibly pulling me to the pavilion!”
Qi Chenxuan’s frown deepened, asking coldly, “What did he say to you?”
“Nothing, just some nonsense! Who would remember all that?”
I shrugged indifferently, then asked, “By the way, how are things progressing with that Miss Qinghan? You seemed to be getting along quite well!”
He evaded the answer, “Nothing!”
I persisted, “Hey, what do you mean by ‘nothing’? Explain clearly! Only then can I help you develop the most effective pursuit strategy!”
“You have too many questions!” He impatiently interrupted me.
I unwillingly pouted, “What’s wrong with that? I’m just trying to help you. How can I know what to do next if I don’t understand your progress?”
Unexpectedly, he didn’t appreciate it at all, throwing out a cool sentence, “I’ll handle my own affairs. I don’t need anyone’s help, especially not yours!”
I immediately puffed out my cheeks defiantly and said, “Hey, what kind of talk is that? Have you forgotten about our previous bet? Whether you two can be together is directly related to my freedom!”
Qi Chenxuan suddenly turned around and glared at me fiercely: “Are you that eager to leave me?”
I couldn’t help but curl my lips and raise my eyebrows in confusion: “Why are you being so aggressive? You were the one who forced me to marry you back then. It’s only reasonable that I want to leave now!”
