This was the first time Ji Qingyan had entered the Xuan Mansion. Xuan Lie was waiting for her in the side hall.
Upon seeing Ji Qingyan, Xuan Lie said in the coldest voice,"
"Ji Qingyan, why are you looking for me? There should be nothing to say between us.”
Although Xuan Lie said so, if he really didn't want to have anything to do with Ji Qingyan, he could have just ignored him!
In fact, only Xuan Lie himself knew how much he wanted to see Ji Qingyan. He wanted to confirm once again if Ji Qingyan was really as handsome as he remembered.
But unexpectedly, the Ji Qingyan in front of Xuan Lie was even more alluring than he remembered.
"I don't think so. Xuan Lie, do you want to hear what I have to say?”Ji Qingyan asked.
As long as he thought about how Xuan Lie had grown up in such an environment, the hatred in his heart burned even more, and he was even more determined to take revenge.
"I don't want to." Xuan Lie didn't want to be attracted to Ji Qingyan again.
"I've been thinking about you, Xuan Lie, because…who's there?" Ji Qingyan said.”
Before Ji Qingyan could finish, she realized that someone was eavesdropping. Xuan Lie immediately rushed forward to open the door. The person outside the door appeared in front of them without any hiding place.
"Mingzhu?" Xuan Lie did not expect Xue Mingzhu to be eavesdropping outside the door. He could not help but frown.
"Lie, you can't blame me. I was just too curious!”Xue Mingzhu said with an aggrieved expression.
She just wanted to see who Ji Qingyan was, but she didn't expect him to be such a handsome and charming man.
Of course, Xuan Lie was also very handsome, but Ji Qingyan's evil and beautiful eyes were even more impressive.
"Who is this beauty? Aren't you going to introduce us?" Ji Qingyan asked Xue Mingzhu.
Before Xuan Lie could speak, Xue Mingzhu rushed to answer,"I am Xuan Lie's fiancée."
"Xuan Lie's fiancée?" Ji Qingyan's lips curled into a faint smile. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Mingzhu, you should go back."
This time, Xuan Lie especially wanted the steward to personally send Xue Mingzhu out of the mansion. When only Xuan Lie and Ji Qingyan were left in the side hall, Xuan Lie said,"
"Your words were interrupted just now. Now that no one is disturbing you, what are you trying to say?”
"I like you." Ji Qingyan said.
" What?" Ji Qingyan's sudden words shocked Xuan Lie.
Did he know what he was talking about?
"Xuan Lie, what do you say?"
Ji Qingyan approached Xuan Lie. Their bodies were almost pressed together. Xuan Lie could even feel Ji Qingyan's breath.
What else could he say?
Regardless of whether Ji Qingyan was sincere or deliberately teasing him, Xuan Lie knew that he had to resist Ji Qingyan's temptation. Otherwise, he would definitely fall into the abyss of eternal damnation.
" If..." Ji Qingyan put her hand on Xuan Lie's shoulder." If I wasn't a man, would you love me?"”
Xuan Lie only looked at Ji Qingyan and didn't answer, but he knew very well what the answer was.
If Ji Qingyan was a woman, he would definitely do anything to get her.
But Ji Qingyan was a man full of sins.
A man who possessed a beauty that could drive people crazy, if this wasn't a sin, what was?
"Why aren't you answering me? Xuan Lie."
Xuan Lie gritted his teeth and repeatedly warned himself not to be bewitched by Ji Qingyan.
"What scheme do you have?" He absolutely could not believe Ji Qingyan's words. They did not even know each other, so how could Ji Qingyan fall in love with him?
"It hurts me too much to say that there's a conspiracy. Is it so hard for you to believe that I like you?”
"That's right."
Hearing Xuan Lie's answer, Ji Qingyan smiled bitterly and said,""Maybe I was too direct, but I don't have much time…"
Not much time?
"What do you mean by that?”Xuan Lie suddenly grabbed Ji Qingyan's hand and asked.
Ji Qingyan shook her head.
"Forget it, just pretend I never mentioned this.”With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Xuan Lie pulled him back anxiously." No, you must make it clear today."”
"I have an incurable disease." Ji Qingyan said.
"What?"
Xuan Lie couldn't believe it when he suddenly heard about this. Ji Qingyan looked fine, how could she…
" I know we're both men," Ji Qingyan said." I know this is wrong, but I can't control myself."”
"You…"
Xuan Lie didn't know what to say. At this moment, Ji Qingyan made her next move. She suddenly hugged Xuan Lie and gave him a kiss.
Ji Qingyan's actions always surprised Xuan Lie, but Xuan Lie didn't push him away.
Xuan Lie knew that he absolutely could not be attracted to Ji Qingyan, but at this moment, his heart was gradually burning.
After the kiss, Ji Qingyan couldn't help but smile. At least Xuan Lie had feelings for him.
"Xuan Lie, do you hate me? If you hate me, I will never appear in front of you again.”
Ji Qingyan threw a difficult question to Xuan Lie, asking him to answer.
Xuan Lie pursed his lips and remained silent. He was considering how to answer Ji Qingyan. Did he want Ji Qingyan to walk into his life?
"Do you hate me? Alright then! I won't appear in front of you again.”
Ji Qingyan turned to leave, but Xuan Lie stopped her again.
"Wait, don't guess my likes and dislikes.”"How much time do we have left?" Xuan Lie continued.”
" Uh…" Ji Qingyan didn't know how to answer the sudden question.
"I said, how much time do you have left?”
"Three…Three months!" Ji Qingyan replied casually.
"Three months!" Three months was too short. Xuan Lie looked at Ji Qingyan and asked,""What do you want me to do?"
Ji Qingyan looked into Xuan Lie's eyes. It seemed that he had taken it seriously. He didn't expect Xuan Lie to fall for it so easily.
"Just come and visit me often.”In fact, Ji Qingyan hadn't thought of what to do next.
"Just like that?"
"Yes." Ji Qingyan nodded.
Ji Qingyan felt that this was enough, but Xuan Lie didn't think so because his lust had already been aroused.
"I have a better suggestion. Why don't we go to my room now?”Xuan Lie whispered into his ear.
"This…"
This time, it was Ji Qingyan who was frightened. The development of the matter was far beyond his imagination. He did not expect the two of them to progress so quickly.
"Don't you like me?" Xuan Lie asked.
"Yes, but…"
He just wanted to tease Xuan Lie, so he didn't need to go to bed with him, so he had to find a reason to get away.
At this moment, a servant came in to report,"
"Lord Marquis, there's someone outside who wants to find Young Master Ji.”
When Xuan Lie heard this, he frowned unhappily. The timing was too coincidental!
"It seems to be General Du." the servant replied.
"Du Jiyao?"
Xuan Lie immediately remembered Tao Zhongkai's words!! Ji Qingyan and Du Jiyao seemed to have an ambiguous relationship.
"Uh…I'll go take a look." Ji Qingyan interrupted. He could use this opportunity to escape.
Xuan Lie struck the door with his palm. "What's your relationship with Du Jiyao? Why did he come here to look for you?"
A flame of jealousy rose in Xuan Lie's heart. Whenever he thought of Ji Qingyan and Du Jiyao together, he would feel a burning jealousy. He had never felt so possessive before.
Xuan Lie was jealous? Ji Qingyan smiled and whispered in his ear,""Jiyao is just a friend. Believe me, you're the only person I like.”
"Then don't interact much with Du Jiyao in the future.”
Xuan Lie immediately regretted his words. He couldn't believe that such jealous words came from his mouth. It had only been two days and they had only met twice, but Ji Qingyan had already affected him to such an extent.
"He is my guest." Ji Qingyan said.
He knew that everyone, including Xuan Lie, had misunderstood his relationship with Du Jiyao. It should be said that everyone thought that Ji Qingyan was a man who relied on sleeping with those big shots to make a name for himself.
In fact, only Ji Qingyan knew how much he hated being skin-to-skin with others.
Growing up in the flower street, Ji Qingyan watched the prostitutes sell their bodies for a living every day. Their pitiful appearance made Ji Qingyan swear that no matter how poor his life was, he would never sell his body.
If the world wants to misunderstand, then let them be! In any case, these were unimportant matters to Ji Qingyan.
"Guest?"
Xuan Lie didn't understand. How could Ji Qingyan say that she liked him and that Du Jiyao was his guest?
Seeing Xuan Lie's jealous look was too interesting, so Ji Qingyan deliberately sighed and said,""I have no choice. I want to live too!”
"I'll pay for your expenses in the future. Don't hang out with Du Jiyao anymore.”Xuan Lie said straightforwardly.
"Oh…alright!" Ji Qingyan reluctantly agreed.
At this moment, they heard Du Jiyao's noise in the front hall. Ji Qingyan said,""In order not to cause you trouble, I'll leave from the back door first to avoid bumping into Du Jiyao.”
"Alright, I'll go to Flame Residence to look for you tomorrow.”Xuan Lie said.
"Yes."
Thus, Ji Qingyan left through the back door while Xuan Lie went to the front hall to meet Du Jiyao.
As the saying goes, when love rivals meet, their eyes turn red. When Du Jiyao saw Xuan Lie, he did not make any small talk and went straight to the point, asking,"Where's the Flame God?"
"General Du, don't you think it's a little rude for you to come here to look for Ji Qingyan? He isn't in the Mystic Mansion."
Xuan Lie wasn't lying. Ji Qingyan was indeed not in the Mystic Mansion at the moment.
However, Du Jiyao insisted that Ji Qingyan was in the Mystical Palace.
"I've already asked the servant of the Flame Residence. He said that the Flame God came to find you.”
Xuan Lie crossed his arms and said leisurely,
"If I say Ji Qingyan isn't here, then she isn't. Are you going to search my house?”
"If the young duke agrees." What he meant was that he would search the Mystical Palace to find Ji Qingyan.
Xuan Lie sneered when he heard this and said,
"I have no objections. However, although my parents are not in the residence at the moment, they will definitely fly into a rage if they find out that you are searching the Xuan Residence for a man from a flower street. If they report this to the Emperor, I'm afraid it will affect your future.”
Xuan Lie's words made Du Jiyao give up the idea of searching the Mystic Mansion, but he still said unwillingly,"
"Little Marquis, I'm already very close to the Flame God. I hope you won't interfere and ruin our relationship.”
"How close are you and Ji Qingyan?" Xuan Lie gritted his teeth and asked.
"This…you really want me to say it? We were like husband and wife, doing everything we could. You wouldn't be able to imagine how passionate Ji Qingyan was on the bed.”Du Jiyao licked his lips.
He originally wanted to use these words to make Xuan Lie retreat, but who knew that Xuan Lie would suddenly punch him like crazy.
"Little brat!"
Du Jiyao had long disliked Xuan Lie. He thought that Xuan Lie was just a young master who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth under the protection of his parents. Now it was time for him to teach him a lesson.
Du Jiyao also gave Xuan Lie a punch. He thought that Xuan Lie would not be able to dodge his punch. Who knew that Xuan Lie not only dodged it, but also took the opportunity to give him another punch, which shocked Du Jiyao to the extreme.
Du Jiyao did not believe that he would be defeated by a pampered young master. He flew into a rage out of humiliation and went forward to fight with Xuan Lie.
The two men fought in the hall of the Xuan Mansion until a dignified voice interrupted their fight!!
"What are you guys doing?"
Xuan Qing and Princess Yong Ping walked into the hall. When Princess Yong Ping saw Xuan Lie, whose face was injured, she immediately said with heartache,"Aiya! Lie 'er, look at how your handsome face is injured. What happened?”
"It's nothing." Xuan Lie replied.
Of course, he couldn't say that he had fought Du Jiyao because of the Flame God of Flower Street.
Xuan Qing looked at Xuan Lie and Du Jiyao, who were silent, and said in a reproachful tone,""One of you is a great general, and the other is the most highly regarded young duke of the Imperial Family, yet you are actually recklessly fighting. Today, you must give me a reason!”
"I have nothing to say." Du Jiyao said.
His thoughts were the same as Xuan Lie's. He thought that saying Ji Qingyan's name would only cause them more trouble.
"Father, don't ask anything. This is a matter between General Du and me.”Xuan Lie said.
"How?" Xuan Qing looked at him in disagreement." A big fight like just now?”
To be honest, he was very worried. His son had always been very restrained, but he seemed to have lost control just now.
"No, I won't do that again." "I was too impulsive just now." Xuan Lie promised.”
Du Jiyao smiled. "Does this mean that you are willing to withdraw?"
"You should be the one to quit, Du Jiyao.”Xuan Lie had no intention of backing out.
"Humph! So you want to compete with me? Let me tell you, you will never win.”
Because Du Jiyao was determined to get Ji Qingyan. After saying this, he bid farewell to everyone and turned to leave.
"Lie 'er, what exactly do you want to compete with General Du for?”Princess Yong Ping asked curiously.
Xuan Lie shook his head," Mother, don't ask. I can only say that no matter what, I will not lose."”
"Alright then! Then I won't ask, but there's something I have to ask. Today, the Prime Minister mentioned to me about your marriage with Mingzhu. What are your plans?”
"I will marry her, just not now.”Xuan Lie replied.
"What do you mean by that?" Xuan Qing said unhappily. He had been following his son's wishes to delay the marriage, but now he had a premonition that the marriage could not be delayed any longer. "Your marriage with Mingzhu can't be delayed any longer. I've decided to let the two of you get married next month.”
"Father!"
Xuan Lie didn't want to get married at all, but he couldn't find any reason to oppose his father's decision.
This marriage had been decided long ago, but the date was brought forward. Xuan Lie should have no reason to object. If he hadn't met Ji Qingyan...
The news of Xuan Lie and Xue Mingzhu's impending marriage spread throughout Luoyang City in less than a day. Ji Qingyan naturally heard the news as well, and it was undeniable that this news hindered Ji Qingyan's revenge plan.
Just as Ji Qingyan was thinking about how to get rid of this obstacle, the " obstacle " found him.
What was Xue Mingzhu's purpose for the daughter of the prime minister to come to Flower Street to look for Ji Qingyan?
Could it be that she had noticed the ambiguous relationship between him and Xuan Lie and had specially come to warn him not to have any ideas about her fiancé? It wasn't strange for Ji Qingyan to think this way.
"Miss Xue, why are you looking for me?”
" I..." Xue Mingzhu looked at Ji Qingyan, still deeply shocked by his handsomeness. She couldn't say anything.
Why did she come to find Ji Qingyan today? To be honest, she didn't know either. It was just that after seeing him yesterday, Xue Mingzhu couldn't forget him, so she came to find him regardless of everything.
Seeing that Xue Mingzhu did not speak for a long time, Ji Qingyan continued,""Most people come to Flower Street to have fun. Is Miss Xue also here to have fun?”
"I'm already going to marry Xuan Lie.”Xue Mingzhu said.
"I know." "This matter has already spread throughout Luoyang.”
" But…" Xue Mingzhu glanced at Ji Qingyan again." My mind is filled with you.”
Ji Qingyan looked at Xue Mingzhu in disbelief. "You don't want to marry Xuan Lie?"
Ji Qingyan had no intention of seducing Xue Mingzhu, but he couldn't do anything if she came knocking on his door.
But Xue Mingzhu replied," No, I like Xuan Lie, and I must marry him. But he's too unromantic, so I'm attracted to you."”
"What do you mean by that?" What a greedy woman.
Ji Qingyan's tone was tinged with slight contempt. She pretended not to understand Xue Mingzhu's words.
"I want both you and Xuan Lie." Empress Wu could keep a man in the palace, so she, Xue Mingzhu, could too.
Humph! Stupid woman, she thought she could have him and Xuan Lie at the same time!
"You can go! I'll pretend you never mentioned this.”
"Ji Qingyan!"
Xue Mingzhu couldn't believe it. She had already come to her doorstep, yet Ji Qingyan still rejected her. How embarrassing would that be?
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in women who take the initiative to come to me.”Ji Qingyan said coldly.
"You're just a man from the brothel. As long as I have the money, I can buy you, right?" Xue Mingzhu gritted her teeth.”
Ji Qingyan smiled coldly. Xue Mingzhu did not understand the Flame God at all. Although he was not rich enough to rival a country, his wealth was considerable. If he really wanted to sell her at a bargain, Xue Mingzhu might not be able to afford him.
"Miss Xue, I'm not short of money. If you want me to look at you differently, cancel the engagement or postpone the wedding for me to see!”
"You think I can't do it?" Xue Mingzhu couldn't stand being provoked or belittled.
"Aren't you in a hurry to marry Xuan Lie?”Ji Qingyan deliberately provoked her, thinking that Xue Mingzhu's competitiveness could be put to good use.
"It's just delaying the wedding date. I can do such a small thing.”
Xue Mingzhu didn't know that she had been tricked. She just wanted Ji Qingyan to know that she was serious about him.
"Alright, then come and find me after the wedding is postponed.”Ji Qingyan smiled evilly.
"Deal!" After saying this, Xue Mingzhu turned around and left.#
