Chapter 328: Chapter 328: You Confess First
Xia Ziyu just wanted to run out and cry right now.
This woman kept scheming different ways to send him back and exchange him for money.
And that day, they clearly agreed that he would be three million, and she would be two million.
How did it beco two hundred and fifty thousand each again?
Heartless woman!
“I refuse to be a fool!” Xia Ziyu rolled his eyes, “You can forget about that money. Besides, I now suspect you’ve been skimming a lot off the top. In my parents’ eyes, how could I possibly only be worth five million?”
“…” Yan Qianyi pondered for a mont, “Indeed, it’s not just five million.”
“How much then?”
“Ten million.”
“Fuck! You’re using to make money off my parents, and you only share this little bit with . Don’t you have a conscience?”
“This intelligence was sold by soone else, and by the ti it ca to , there was only five million left.”
“Let tell you the truth. The information you got was fake. That person is deceiving you, or rather, trying to harm . Because I’ve checked already—my parents have not put a bounty on .”
Yan Qianyi furrowed her brow, “Are you sure?”
“Absolutely positive!”
Was Ah Lie deceiving her?
Why?
Could it be he was testing whether she knew Hei Zai’s real identity?
Thinking back, it did seem a bit suspicious.
He initially told her to make this money, but later on, he said it was a secret and to forget it.
Such inconsistency wasn’t like him at all.
Seeing Xia Ziyu open the Light Screen, Yan Qianyi asked, “What are you doing?”
“I’m looking for the princess to have a talk, to try out your lousy idea and see if it works. Though I think it’s useless—eting in private, with my handso and dashing looks, she’d probably want to marry even more.”
Yan Qianyi chuckled, “Then you’re really overthinking it.”
“How am I? You don’t know—so many girls like .”
Only she, blinded by Mu Yunlie, could not see his good qualities.
“Stop the nonsense, let’s go. I’ll take you to et her.”
“She’s in the Federation Empire?” Xia Ziyu asked, “Do you know where she is?”
“Yes, you’ll et her very soon.”
“Really?”
Yan Qianyi didn’t further idle chat with Xia Ziyu, and turned to walk outside.
Xia Ziyu hurriedly followed.
Reaching the downstairs lobby, Yan Qianyi knocked on the door, “Chu Hua, are you asleep?”
Xia Ziyu asked beside her, “Why are you calling her?”
Soon, Yan Chuhua opened her room door, seeing Xia Ziyu also following Yan Qianyi, she looked puzzled, “What’s going on?”
“Let’s talk inside.” Yan Qianyi walked in first.
However, Yan Chu Hua still stopped Xia Ziyu at the door.
She didn’t like letting other n into her room this late at night.
Yan Qianyi said, “Let him in, I have sothing to discuss with both of you.”
“Qianyi, what’s going on?” Yan Chuhua looked baffled.
She was busy ssaging Yun Mu.
Yan Qianyi leaned against the window, arms crossed over her chest, “You two are each other’s arranged marriage partners.”
“What?!” Both exclaid in unison.
They looked at each other incredulously, sizing each other up.
Yan Chuhua, in disbelief, “Qianyi, you’re not joking, are you?”
Xia Ziyu also with a face of disbelief, “To trade for money, you really would do anything!”
Casually pinching soone and declaring she is a princess from the Moer Kingdom.
Do they really think I am so easy fool?
Faced with their gazes, Yan Qianyi helplessly raised her hand and touched her forehead, “Do you two really not know the na of the person you’re arranged to marry?”
Yan Chuhua shook her head, “I don’t know. After mom and dad told , I didn’t even want to listen, and I was too lazy to look at the photos.”
Seeing Yan Chuhua’s disdainful look, Xia Ziyu was unyielding, “Sa here. Too lazy to listen, too lazy to look.”
Yan Qianyi said speechlessly, “Then you two sincerely report your own backgrounds now, and you’ll know if I’ve lied to you or not.”
They looked at each other.
Xia Ziyu said, “Ladies first.”
“No, you go first.”
“You go first!”
“Why should I go first? You’re the man; you should be honest first.”
“I don’t care, you have to say it first before I do.”
The two of them started arguing, neither willing to reveal their identity first.
Yan Qianyi was close to going crazy.
This… what was there even to argue about?
It was downright childish!
She turned and went to the bathroom, found a cotton swab, broke it into uneven lengths, and held them in her hand, “Draw lots, the person with the shorter piece goes first.”
Xia Ziyu and Yan Chuhua rolled their eyes at each other, scrambling to draw lots in a threatening manner.
Yan Chuhua got the shorter stick, almost crying in reluctance.
To make matters worse, Xia Ziyu smirked at her, infuriating her to the point of stomping her foot.
“Hurry up,” urged Yan Qianyi. “No lying, clearly state your identity and family background.”
Yan Chuahua pouted sadly, finally revealing her true identity.
Actually, her last na wasn’t Yan.
Yan was her mom’s surna, which she used when she needed to hide her identity outdoors.
Xia Ziyu sized her up.
“I never expected that my arranged marriage partner would be you. Though you are a bit prettier than I imagined, you’re not as heavenly beautiful as my mother described.”
Yan Chuhua retorted, “You might be a little more handso than I expected, but you look like a vampire who shuns the light.”
“You!” Xia Ziyu complained to Yan Qianyi, “She’s insulting people. Aren’t you going to do anything?”
“Vampire isn’t an insult. You’re just too sensitive,” Yan Chuhua stuck her tongue out at Xia Ziyu. “I’ve said my part, now it’s your turn.”
Xia Ziyu shrugged, “What else is there to say? We already figured out each other’s identities, right?”
“No way, you have to properly introduce yourself to ! Just like I did!”
Indeed, the identities were clear now, but she just had to fight this one out!
Xia Ziyu asked, “Is it necessary?”
“Yes!”
“You’re nuts.”
“You’re the nutty one! Short-lived ghost! I’d never marry you even if I died!”
“I wouldn’t marry you even if I died either!”
Although they had lived under the sa roof for a few days, Xia Ziyu only ca out for dinner at night and spent his days in Yan Qianyi’s lab.
So, they didn’t interact much and were polite to each other, with their relationship being neither good nor bad.
But now, knowing that the other person was the arranged marriage partner who made them both holess and constantly on the run, emotions surged instantly.
Yan Qianyi felt like two sparrows chattering endlessly by her ears, her head about to explode.
She exhaled forcefully, “If anyone speaks another word, you can’t stay here anymore!”
Upon hearing this, they imdiately quieted down.
The guest room suddenly beca eerily silent.
But they continued their silent battle with glaring eyes.
Yan Qianyi asked, “Do you guys actually want to solve the problem or not?”
