Xiang Qinglian, who had already jumped far away, stared blankly at the toppled table, then shifted her gaze to the fist with bulging veins.
"You, if you smash other people's things, be careful that the shop owner will report you to the authorities.”Xiang Qinglian, who was hiding in the corner, pointed at the table and shouted in a daze.
However, when a cold light shot at her, she realized how stupid her words sounded.
"Even if you're rich, you can't just throw it around."
"You just said, who wants to enter your Xiang Family?”Zhangsun Qi was very polite, or rather, his tone was unusually gentle as he interrupted her silly words.
"It's, it's that surname! No one wants to enter the Xiang Family, you heard wrong.”She stammered for a while and decided to answer honestly.
"Is that so?"
Xiang Qinglian nodded vigorously.
"Alright, let's go then!" Zhangsun Qi waved his sleeves and was about to step out of the door.
"Leave? Where to?" Xiang Qinglian asked instinctively.
"Is there a need to ask? Of course, we're going back to Luoyang.”Zhangsun Qi's lips curled into a mysterious and strange smile as he turned around to look at her, who was still huddled in the corner.
"Return to Luoyang?" she exclaimed. "Why should I go back to Luoyang with you?”After the previous painful experience, how could she be stupid again?
"Since no one wants to enter your Xiang Family, you naturally have to come back with me.”Zhangsun Qi said in a roundabout manner.
"What? Are you trying to use me again?" Even if she ended up like that table, she couldn't care less.
The sinister smile on his face did not fade, but Xiang Qinglian could not help but lean back against the wall and stare at him warily.
"I don't think so." He turned his head and said lightly.
"I don't care what you think. I won't go with you anyway.”Unless Xiang Qinglian became a fool, she would not be fooled twice!
"You must come with me." Zhangsun Qi turned around and slowly walked toward her.
"What, you want to use those lousy methods to deal with me again?”With no way out, she could only lean against the wall.
"I don't need to touch your acupuncture points, I can still take you away.”
"Zhangsun Qi, don't think that I'll be like last time, easily led by the nose by you. Let me tell you, last time, I was fooled by you because I wanted to go out and see what you've got. As for this time, don't even think about it!”
"On the way back to Luoyang, you can go anywhere you like. I will always accompany you.”
Her deliberate provocation did not trigger Zhangsun Qi's anger. His expression as if he had already known the truth stunned Xiang Qinglian for a moment, and her clear eyes widened.
"You said that you will always be by my side?”Xiang Qinglian looked at him in confusion.
So it wasn't that she had become stupid, but that Zhangsun Qi was sick.
"Yes." He suddenly replied unwillingly. Because his answer meant that he had lost to his old man.
"Haha, Brother Qi, your acting is terrible. How can I fall for your trick again?”Xiang Qinglian suddenly burst into laughter. If you want to scare her, wait for your next life!
In the next moment, her shoulders were grabbed by a pair of iron palms. She was so frightened that she reached out to push his chest. However, Zhangsun Qi did not give her the chance to retreat and quickly leaned his face closer to her.
"You don't believe me?"
"How do you expect me to believe you?" The prison in front of him was still in front of him.
"Follow me and you will know."
"Follow you? Hmph, you make it sound so easy. I don't have a name or a title with you. If you ask me to get lost again one day, wouldn't I be worse than a dog?”Idiot, say it! As long as he was willing to say those three words, she would admit it even if he lied to her again.
" You!" Zhangsun Qi suddenly retracted his hand and glared at her angrily, causing Xiang Qinglian, who could not react in time, to stagger back.
"What, did you give yourself away?”Although she looked very proud on the surface, she was actually very sad.
Damn it, since you can't say it, don't provoke me!
"I won't let you follow me without any status.”His low and hoarse voice contained a sigh, helplessness, and some emotions.
"You, what do you mean? I don't understand." Her heart was beating like a drum, as if it was about to jump out of her chest. Her palms were sweating in a very short period of time and were slightly trembling.
Her watery eyes, which were filled with hope, kept blinking, making Zhangsun Qi, who was facing her, feel extremely relaxed and relieved.
"That's right."
"Lian 'er, daddy is here to save you!"
The sudden clamor and squire Xiang's high-pitched shouts not only interrupted Zhangsun Qi's crucial words, but also made Xiang Qinglian unable to hide the extreme disappointment in her heart. Her face fell.
She pouted and ran out of the door angrily.
Just as Xiang Qinglian was about to step out of the door, she bumped into Minister Xiang, who was rushing to save her.
"Lian 'er, are you alright? Father was worried to death. Minister Xiang carefully examined his precious daughter from head to toe. He saw her looking at him with embarrassment, anger, and anger before turning to glare at Zhangsun Qi, who had a gloomy face in the room.
"Sister Lian 'er, don't be afraid. Watch how I deal with this pervert who dares to behave atrociously in Green Dou City.”The Chen Family Young Master who had come with Minister Xiang to save the damsel in distress was also holding a long staff, ready to be a hero.
When Young Master Chen stepped into the room majestically, he was immediately frightened by the people inside until his legs went weak. After retreating, he even hid behind a group of servants.
"Since you released Sister Lian 'er, I won't argue with you. Hurry up and leave." Although he was scared to death, Eldest Young Master Chen didn't forget to act after the fact.
"Is Sister Lian someone you can call?”Zhangsun Qi was no longer as calm as before. When he heard this ear-piercing intimate call, his eyes suddenly burned with anger.
"I, I am Lady Lian Lian 'er's future husband, why can't I call you that?”
"Hmph, Xiang Qinglian is my woman, Zhangsun Qi. Since when did you become her husband?”Zhangsun Qi sneered.
"Tell the minister, am I getting married to Miss Lian Lian 'er in three days?”With his future father-in-law here, no matter how much his voice trembled, he could still win against this evil and arrogant man who had run out at the last minute.
"Could it be that you're the one who abducted Lian 'er that night and left a note?”Minister Xiang suddenly pointed his finger at Zhangsun Qi, his face full of anger.
He had finally found the culprit who had caused Lian 'er to be in such a miserable state.
Zhangsun Qi snorted without hesitation.
"Wow, you actually dare to appear in Green Dou City! Men, take him!"
"Father, ignore him. Let's go!”Xiang Qinglian, who had a worried look on her face, suddenly tugged at Minister Xiang's sleeve, wanting to drag him away.
"Leave? How can I let this kid off so easily? Men, capture him!”The furious Minister Xiang flung Xiang Qinglian's hand away and ordered his servants to rush into the room and take Zhangsun Qi down.
Unfortunately, before those servants could even step into the room, Zhangsun Qi waved his hand lightly and swept them out in an instant. He also pressed down on Eldest Young Master Chen, who was hiding at the side.
"Hello, I'll fight it out with you!" Seeing the servants fall, hurt, and wailing, Xiang Yuanwai couldn't hold back his anger and wanted to go up and fight him.
"Father, what are you doing? "Don't go in. I…I have nothing to do with him." Xiang Qinglian held onto Minister Xiang with all her might and deliberately tried to distance herself from Zhangsun Qi.
"You still want to hide it from me! That brat already said that you're his woman, and you still call it having nothing to do with him? Are you really going to anger me to death before you're satisfied?”Minister Xiang suddenly shouted at his daughter.
"I-I-why don't you believe me? I'm your daughter. If I say it has nothing to do with him, then it has nothing to do with him!”Xiang Qinglian shouted back angrily and embarrassedly.
Damn it, which bastard told Father that she was here?
The bastard Shan Chuying that Xiang Qinglian had mentioned had already slipped away to somewhere.
"Old Master Xiang, Lian 'er must return to Luoyang with me.”Xiang Qinglian's vehement denial made Zhangsun Qi's face darken and his body stiffen.
He has already asked you to go to Luoyang, and you still want to fight with me?" The roar suddenly stopped. Minister Xiang widened his eyes and said to Zhangsun Qi in shock,""Luoyang, could it be that you're from the Zhangsun clan in Luoyang?”
"That's right." Zhangsun Qi said in a deep voice and stepped out of the door. After passing Minister Xiang, who was so frightened that he could not close his mouth, he stopped beside Xiang Qinglian, who had her head lowered and her hands twisting her dress.
"Lian 'er, I'll pick you up in three days.”Zhangsun Qi lifted her small face and said confidently.
"But Lian 'er will be here in three days." After learning Zhangsun Qi's identity and background, Minister Xiang's originally angry tone instantly froze. It was clear that the Zhangsun Clan's name had caused him to have some degree of scruples. Although the Xiang Clan was considered a wealthy clan in Green Dou City, it paled in comparison to the wealthy Zhangsun Clan.
Sigh! Since he knew that his daughter was kidnapped by the Zhangsun Clan, he could only give up since he knew that he could not win against them. However, this time, he wanted to use the same trick again. He even brazenly said that he wanted to take his daughter away, making him, as a father, not know whether to be glad or feel troubled.
"Old Master Xiang, you are a smart person. You should make the right choice.”The situation was already very obvious, so he didn't need to make things clear.
"This", was there still a need to say this? Of course he wanted to marry his daughter to Yi, no, would he agree to marry into the Xiang family?
"Father, don't listen to him. Let's go!”Actually, it was very simple to take her away, but why did he threaten his father like this? Was she so unworthy of him saying that in his heart?
"Lian 'er, nephew Zhangsun…" This time, the councilor was reluctant to leave.
"Alright, if you don't leave, I'll leave!" Xiang Qinglian suddenly stomped her foot and glared at Zhangsun Qi before running away.
Hmph, did he think that just because he said he wanted to pick her up, she had to follow him obediently?
Dream on!
"Wait, Lian 'er, wait for me! Ha, Nephew Zhangsun, please don't take offense. I'll go back and persuade Lian 'er now.”After Minister Xiang finished speaking to his increasingly gloomy face, he led his subordinates to chase after his daughter.
"I'm warning you, don't think that your Zhangsun Clan is that great. The heavens are high and the emperor is far away. Even if the Zhangsun Clan's name is well-known in Luoyang, it won't be able to control Green Dou City! Moreover, I entered the Xiang family to meditate. Lady Lian 'er will be mine sooner or later, don't even think about it!”Young Master Chen, who was hiding behind the railing, finished his words in a trembling voice and rolled away as fast as he could.
Zhangsun Qi's black eyes flashed sharply as he stared at Young Master Chen's staggering back.
"Hmph, you said I can't control this place, right?”Zhangsun Qi's tight jaw suddenly relaxed, and his slightly pursed lips suddenly curled into a strange arc.
What was he laughing about? He was laughing at Young Master Chen's ignorance. After he had spoken these 'great reasons', the Chen family's businesses had completely disappeared from Green Dou City in a short month.
Even the Chen family disciples disappeared along with it.
Xiang Qinglian ran from the inn to Xiang Village, then rushed straight to her bedroom from the door. Just as she was about to close the door, she happened to catch Minister Xiang, who had rushed over.
"Aiyo! Lian 'er, open the door quickly, you're pinching Father's foot.”
"Father, get out. I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it!”Although Minister Xiang's cries of pain were shrill, Xiang Qinglian only opened the door slightly before kicking him out of the room and slamming the door shut.
Her mood was in a mess right now, and she couldn't listen to any boring words of comfort.
"Lian 'er, you have to tell me this. Did something happen between you and Nephew Zhangsun?"
"Nephew? Humph, you haven't even seen your birth date yet, and you're already calling her so intimately. Be careful that Young Master Chen doesn't hear you and make this marriage fall through!”Xiang Qinglian's back was against the door, and her tone was as sour as it could be.
"So what if I heard him? Is Father afraid of him?”In any case, there was a replacement candidate who was hundreds of times stronger than the Chen family, so he could rest assured.
"Oh, so father is also a person who changes his ship when the wind blows.”
"Lian 'er, your father didn't ask you to read so many books for you to scold him!”Minister Xiang stomped his feet angrily. Even if he was snobbish, it was for the sake of his daughter's future. What did he do wrong?
"Father, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have spoken to you like this. I…" Xiang Qinglian wanted to say something but hesitated."Father, your wishful thinking is wrong. I won't marry him, and it's even more impossible for him to marry into our family.”How could an arrogant man like Zhangsun Qi compromise and stay in the Xiang family for the rest of his life because of her!
"But he clearly said that he would pick you up in three days!”Minister Xiang's anger disappeared after hearing his daughter's apology.
"Father, do you trust him that much?"
"But he…"
"Father, could it be that you really can't tell that if he really takes me away, doesn't that mean that Father will lose me as his daughter from now on?”
In fact, when she broke her father's expectations, didn't she also shatter her dream of being together with Zhangsun Qi?
Oh, so bitter.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought of this before, but he always thought that Zhangsun Qi's feelings for his daughter were enough to make him take a step back.
"Father, you should hurry up and prepare for the marriage with the Chen family!”After a sad smile appeared on her wooden face, she turned around and blinked. Tears silently fell from her eyes.
Damn it! This was the last time she would cry for Zhangsun Qi.
Never again
Three days later, it was the wedding day of the Xiang and Chen families.
At this moment, a group of maids holding ceremonial robes and phoenix crowns were walking into the beautifully decorated bridal chamber.!
"Master, bad news, Young Lady is missing!"
The servant girls screamed in panic, causing Minister Xiang, who had rushed over, to turn pale. After ordering everyone to search the manor inside and out, but still could not find Xiang Qinglian's trace, he immediately led his men to Yuelai Inn.
"Zhangsun Qi, this is the third time you've kidnapped me.”
She had already made up her mind to draw a clear line with him. Why did he just not let her go?
Xiang Qinglian raised her fist and punched him in the chest. Zhangsun Qi allowed her to hit him until she was tired and her hands were sore. Then, he picked her up and sat down in the chair.
"I'm not angry anymore." Zhangsun Qi gently pecked her forehead, and when Xiang Qinglian looked up in shock, he pecked her slightly open mouth at lightning speed.
"You're shameless!" Xiang Qinglian subconsciously covered her mouth. After she cursed, tears could not help but flow out of her eyes.
Even though she had sworn not to shed a single tear for him, she just couldn't control it. In fact, it fell even faster and fiercer.
"Be good, don't cry. I'm here to pick you up, right?”Zhangsun Qi pressed her head against his chest and smiled helplessly.
" Who wants you to pick me up? Get lost, get lost." Xiang Qinglian wanted to get away from the man who made her cry, but he refused.
"Lian 'er, can you be my wife?”
" Get lost, get lost as far as you can." The coquettish voice suddenly stopped. She was suddenly quietly held in his arms like an obedient kitten.
"I knew you would agree." Zhangsun Qi happily cupped her small face and quickly sealed her lips. He stuck the tip of his tongue into her mouth and savoured her wildly.
" Oh." Her consciousness only returned to its original position when she was about to suffocate. Before the word "I don't" could be heard, it was swallowed by him.
"Lian 'er, I love you. Be my wife.”Zhangsun Qi's lips were pressed against the red and swollen lips that he had ravaged, and he looked at her blurred starry eyes affectionately.
"You, you love me, really?"
"Yes, really." He couldn't help but bite her plump lower lip.
"Lian 'er is the same, and she's already loved him for a long time.”Xiang Qinglian confessed her inner desire.
"Silly Lian." He smiled and kissed her again for a long time.
"Lian 'er, father is here!"
Xiang Qinglian was so scared that her body stiffened. In an instant, all her worries came out.
"My father is here. What should we do?" Xiang Qinglian, who was still in Zhangsun Qi's arms, grabbed his collar nervously, looking panicked and at a loss.
"What else can I do? Of course, come with me!”Zhangsun Qi smiled proudly and stood up with the person in his arms.
" But Father wants you, he wants you…" She really didn't dare to mention the word " marry into the family ", nor was she willing to say it.
"Lian 'er, I can give our second boy the surname Xiang.”This was his biggest concession.
"Brother Qi!" Xiang Qinglian hugged his neck in surprise and kissed him.
This was enough, this was enough!
"Lian 'er, Father is here." This time, Minister Xiang's voice was clearly close to theirs.
"Brother Qi, let's run away!”Xiang Qinglian urged Zhangsun Qi with a smile.
"Alright, hold on tight."
Just as Minister Xiang was about to rush into the room, he suddenly heard a melodious laughter. Then, Zhangsun Qi broke out of the window with Xiang Qinglian in his arms. Amidst everyone's surprised cries, he left.
" Father, goodbye."#
