Chapter 304: Hot Mountain Springs Villa 4
After Xiao Wuji and Gu Cheng ca in, Xiao Wuji was subconsciously looking for the little lady’s figure in Furong Waterside Pavilion. His gaze fell on the position in the back row and he quickly pulled Gu Cheng over to take a look.
When Gu Cheng’s eyes landed on Qi Qingyao, he was instantly shocked. Dumbstruck. Stupefied. Flabbergasted. Stunned.
Xiao Wuji was really satisfied with Gu Cheng’s reaction at this mont.
Lu Yan suddenly noticed a familiar figure with a familiar face coming in from the entrance. He coughed lightly, nudging at Qi Qingyao. “Jiang Yeqian is here.”
Qi Qingyao followed his gaze and glanced toward the entrance. Then, she quickly retracted her gaze and could not help but mutter, “Why are there so many familiar faces? If I knew this, I wouldn’t have co.”
Lu Yan said, “He’s the Head Grand Secretariat. It’s normal for soone to invite him once he revealed himself.” The scariest thing was that Jiang Yeqian’s bold appearance had led to the State Preceptor not daring to hunt him officially for the ti being. However, based on Qi Qingyao’s analysis last ti, it was likely that Li Ruoxuan would soon show up in Qingzhou City in the flesh.
The big puddle of water would soon be muddled.
Qingzhou City was about to beco a treacherous land.
Or perhaps, Lu Yan could do as she suggested. If he chose not to return to Capital City after the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival, staying in Baishui Town might be a good choice.
“I don’t know any Head Grand Secretariat, Little Yan.” Qi Qingyao’s gaze was dull and there were no cracks in her restrained expression. She said faintly, “I’m just a nobody, I don’t know these people. You’re in charge of exchanging pleasantries with people you know, don’t mind .”
Despite what she said, many people had noticed Qi Qingyao.
Especially a few “honored guests” from Eastern Ling Nation.
Everyone who saw Qi Qingyao noticed her great resemblance to a certain soone, but they dared not take the liberty to co forward—everyone but Xiao Wuji, who had only t Qi Qingyao once just now. This ti, he went forward fearlessly while dragging Gu Cheng with him.
Lu Yan saw the two of them walking over, Xiao Wuji in particular. His gaze was very sharp and domineering, with a slight aura of familiarity.
Lu Yan whispered to Qi Qingyao, “Is he the one who hit on you just now?”
Qi Qingyao replied firmly, “I don’t know him!!”
She said she did not know him, but she was unable to change Xiao Wuji’s gait. Xiao Wuji and Gu Cheng had already walked to the table they were seated at. Xiao Wuji very casually took two futons and sat down right opposite Qi Qingyao with a smile.
“We et again, what a coincidence.”
Qi Qingyao gritted her back teeth and said, “I know you have so hidden agenda. Buddy, what’s the matter with you? First of all, I’m a single mother with children, so I’m not interested in your old-fashioned pickup lines! You don’t have to be so persistent in talking to .
She was straightforward in identifying herself, which surprised both Xiao Wuji and Gu Cheng.
Xiao Wuji murmured, “A single mother…”
Qi Qingyao said sarcastically with a hint of a smile, “A single parent cos with many troubles, so you better stay away from . I’m not interested in you!” Based on this person’s attire—the fineness of the material, the premium quality of the jade accessories, the ruby buttons of the cuffs—one could tell that his status was very high. She did not want to look for any trouble and beco a substitute plaything or an unattainable love interest. Especially, in this case, it would be completely asking for trouble.
“…”
Xiao Wuji looked at the girl who was filled with impatience and knew that he probably would not get anything out of her if he stayed there.
He then took his leave with Gu Cheng and looked for his own seat.
