Chapter 1525: 1525 Since ancient tis, deep feelings have been hurt by separation5
“Thank you, shopkeeper lady,” Chen Jie said with a hand clasped fist, following Maid Yinzhu as she left.
Chang Haotian entered the courtyard and saw Su Qingyue sitting gracefully at the stone table in the center, a pang of tenderness rising in his face, “Qing’er…”
Su Qingyue lifted her eyes to glance at him, “Master Chang has arrived.”
“Call Haotian, or Hao is fine,” he said instinctively, taking a seat opposite her, “calling Estate Owner feels too distant.”
She elegantly took hold of the teapot, pouring him a cup of tea, and he was pleasantly surprised, “You’re actually pouring tea for ?”
“You are a VIP in my Mansion, pouring you a cup of tea is a normal thing,” she felt it was nothing out of the ordinary.
“Having known you for so long, this is the first ti I am tasting tea personally poured by you,” he said, holding the tea cup to his lips, just barely touching the cup without indulging in a sip, “The Xiao couple are really too much, actually forbidding custors from patronizing your store, such acts of cutting off one’s livelihood, they really have done too many! Don’t worry, Qing’er, I will absolutely not stand by and watch you be bullied.”
“Oh? How does Master Chang plan to help ?”
“Whether custors patronize a certain store is purely voluntary, the intimidation by the Xiao Family is inappropriate and illogical to argue with them. Even if I were to issue a proclamation, encouraging common people to patronize your store, they would still fear the first-class families, and the effect would certainly be minimal.” Chang Haotian said, “At this juncture, the only option is for to return to the capital and join forces with the court to pressure the Xiao Family.”
“I appreciate the sentint, Master Chang,” Su Qingyue said indifferently, “For just an ordinary rchant like , why should you make such a big fuss?”
“You are my wife,” he said intensely, his eyes filled with earnestness.
Su Qingyue stiffened, “Master Chang jests, I will not marry you.”
“You and Xiao Yuchuan no longer have a chance to turn back. You might as well marry ,” he reached out and took hold of her hand, “Qing’er, marry , and if it helps, I won’t ‘touch’ you without your consent.”
She tried to withdraw her hand uncomfortably, “Master Chang, conduct yourself with dignity.”
“Qing’er, my feelings for you are sincere,” he said earnestly. “Originally, the court needed one manor and two great families, a balance of three forces to keep each other in check. For you, I will one day take down the Xiao Family. I will make sure no one in this world can bully you again!”
Su Qingyue looked at him, sitting across from her, clad in a dark purple brocade robe with a jade crown on his head, his facial features handso and deep, exuding a very masculine air.
To be honest, he was very handso.
And he treated her extrely well.
If she had not t her third brother, she surely would have married him.
Just as Su Qingyue was about to refuse, she turned her head and saw a tall, sturdy figure standing at the entrance of the courtyard; upon closer inspection, it was Xiao Yishan.
Xiao Yishan’s resolute face was filled with disappointnt, “The commoners are all saying that Su Qingyue has fallen for Chang Haotian, betraying my third brother. Originally, I would never believe such rumors, but now… Yue’er, you really disappoint !”
Su Qingyue’s brows furrowed slightly, yet she offered no explanation.
Chang Haotian beca angry, slamming his hand on the stone table. Guard Chang Feng appeared from nowhere, his sword pressed against Xiao Yishan’s throat, “How dare you! You rough man, to speak like that in front of my Estate Owner!”
Chang Feng thought, the Estate Owner was angry to protect Su Qingyue, so what he said couldn’t be wrong.
Xiao Yishan, feeling the sword against his neck, had heard the Estate Owner of Pear Blossom Villa killed unnoticed, indifferent to joy or anger, and many people died undeservedly, he couldn’t help but grow tense.
