Chapter 168: Chapter 168: How n View Their Ex-Wives After Divorce.
In the back garden, Qi Yue had just assud her stance when Zhao Xiyan arrived.
“Yueyue.”
Qi Yue steadied her mind.
When she left ho this morning, she had already made up her mind.
From now on, she would face Zhao Xiyan as just a friend.
After all, he would probably leave before long.
With this thought, she stopped the martial moves she was practicing.
“Is there sothing you need?”
Zhao Xiyan humd in acknowledgnt.
“Yueyue, tonight I want to talk to you about sothing, can you set aside so ti for , please?”
He was the epito of grace and beauty, and his voice was like mountain springs breaking upon the rocks.
Especially the way he said “please,” as if it had hooks in it, it clung to her, making her unable to resist or break free.
“Okay.”
It’s just explaining the matter with the Eighth Princess, isn’t it?
Nothing more than how he fell into a trap because he was sched against and so on, she might as well listen.
“Thank you, Yueyue.”
Zhao Xiyan gave her a smile and took a few steps closer, sparks flying in his deep eyes.
Qi Yue’s face flushed imdiately, and just as she was about to step back and increase the distance between them,
Zhao Xiyan turned and in an instant was behind her.
A refreshing, spring-like fragrance captivated her, and she instantly tensed up.
Before she could react, Zhao Xiyan had taken her arms from behind.
“Yueyue, you’re not holding the sword correctly. If you exert force like this, you’ll hurt yourself. Let teach you…”
The man was extrely close, so near that she could almost feel the warmth emanating from his body.
She didn’t dare move and simply gripped the sword anew as Zhao Xiyan directed.
But the man didn’t let go. Instead, he held her hands, showing her how to apply force to the technique properly.
“Yueyue, you’re really suited for using swords, especially a pair of them. Later, I’ll refine the swordsmanship techniques for you, tailored for dual swords. In close combat, no one will be able to hurt you.”
“Mhm.”
Qi Yue was like a wooden puppet, letting Zhao Xiyan’s tall fra wrap around her, guiding her through the swordplay.
Ti seed incredibly slow, yet it flew by at the sa ti.
At the end of the last move, Zhao Xiyan held her hand cautiously and took the sword into his own hands.
“Yueyue, let’s stop here for today. Let’s go have breakfast, shall we?”
“Okay.”
Qi Yue was still sowhat dazed, like a puppet startled out of sense.
She was a little unclear about Zhao Xiyan’s intentions.
Just now, she had distinctly felt that he was deliberately flirting with her.
Even for hands-on swordsmanship instruction, so moves were too intimate.
Especially when he took her hands from behind, it was almost as if he was hugging her.
When they interacted in the past, there had been chances for their skin to touch, but it was always brief and within reason.
But today, his actions were too unrestrained.
It was as if it was done on purpose.
Why was he doing this?
Qi Yue felt panicked and confused.
Seeing Zhao Xiyan indeed walking with her toward the direction of the dining hall, she hurriedly stopped.
“You go ahead and have your al; I’ll go back to my room and change clothes.”
“Okay.” Zhao Xiyan still had a smile on his face, and he even handed her the hand in his, “I’ll wait for you and take you to the dical facility afterward.”
“Ah… Oh…”
Qi Yue turned around and ran, hearing Zhao Xiyan chuckle behind her.
“Yueyue, slow down a bit.”
These words made her run even faster.
She hurried to her room and imdiately entered her space, arriving at the study to start searching.
She rembered that one year, the dical system, in an effort to solve the issue of marriage for older single won, issued everyone a copy of “The Psychology of n.”
At the ti, she flipped through it briefly and then tossed it aside.
Back then she didn’t have anyone she liked, nor did she intend to find a man to marry, so she scoffed at the contents of the book.
She rembered there seed to be an entry in the table of contents about the ntality of n after divorce.
After rummaging through her belongings, she finally found the book in a corner at the bottom of the bookshelf.
Although one corner of the book was damaged, it didn’t affect its use.
She imdiately flipped to the table of contents and checked it item by item, and sure enough, she saw an entry titled: How n View Their Ex-Wives After Divorce.
She quickly turned to the indicated page and discovered that the content was indeed consistent with Zhao Xiyan’s current behavior.
The book said that n generally have a strong sense of possession.
Regardless of the reason for the divorce, after the initial conflict and opposition have ended, n often develop a deep attachnt to their forr spouses.
In their hearts, this woman was previously his wife and still is, even after the divorce.
Psychologically, they have a hard ti accepting their ex-wives getting along warmly with other n.
Even if a man doesn’t love his ex-wife, he will still feel uncomfortable, as though sothing that used to belong to him has been taken by soone else.
Strong-willed n will feel they still have so responsibility towards their ex-wives after divorce and will inevitably get close to her, offering help.
So n still desire that their wives remain loyal to them after the divorce rather than imdiately getting together with another man, so they will approach her and observe her to see if she has changed due to the divorce.
After reading it, Qi Yue instantly found a theoretical basis for Zhao Xiyan’s bizarre behavior.
With a snap, she closed the book and angrily flopped down on the sofa!
“Hmph! I knew it, it can’t be that simple! Zhao Xiyan, Zhao Xiyan, aside from your appearance, you really are no different from other n!”
No sooner had she finished speaking than the dical assistant AI suddenly entered the study and blurted out, “Master, my knowledge reserve system tells that all n in the world are essentially the sa, except for the following points.”
“First, differences in appearance: beauty and ugliness, height and weight. Second, huge differences in sexual function: so n can last all night while others can only manage for a few minutes. Third,…..”
“Stop right there!” Qi Yue’s head was about to explode, and her temples throbbed, “What are you doing here?”
The assistant’s eyes chanically whirled as it placed a book in front of Qi Yue.
“Master, you asked to analyze the poison formulas in this book and to give opinions and modification suggestions, which I’ve done, and I’ve specially co to report.”
While speaking, the assistant had already connected to the printer and started printing the report.
Qi Yue then rembered that a few days ago, she had handed over “Qin Secret Arts” for the assistant to analyze and check, and she didn’t expect it to have finished so quickly.
This assistant was quite useful, aside from being talkative, it had all good qualities.
It seed that the person who designed it must have been very chatty, which is why it was endowed with an exceptionally excellent dialogue system.
“Whirr… whirr…”
The printer continued to spit out the report, and the idle assistant turned its head and bowed to Qi Yue in a gentlemanly manner.
“Master, do you want to hear the third point about the differences between n? The third is…”
“Stop, I don’t want to hear it at all,” Qi Yue quickly got up from the chair, “Once you’re done printing, go back to the lab and face the wall to reflect on your behavior, without making any mistakes!”
“Yes, master.”
The assistant, as if unaware of being scolded, still had a cheerful smile on its face.
Qi Yue had had enough and shook her head as she left the space.
After changing into a new outfit, she left the room and rembered that Zhao Xiyan was waiting for her in the dining room; she hurriedly took the side door to the dical facility.
Let him wait!
