After hearing Ning Shuangâs report, Su Wen replied, âAlright, I understand. Iâll go over now!â
Suddenly, Xie Yiyi, who was behind him, asked, âSince you already knew before the Lunar New Year, why did you only tell me now?â
Su Wen turned around with a smile on his face. âWeâre all family, so we can slowly resolve this matter. After all, the New Year has to be celebrated in a happy mannerâ
A warm feeling rose in Xie Yiyiâs heart. When Su Wen left, tears welled up in her eyes.
She understood that Su Wen never wanted to do anything to her.
Su Wen arrived at the living room.
Yan Luoying sat there quietly. When she saw Su Wen, she smiled. âYoung Master Su, what are you busy with?â
âIâm just having a fling with my concubine. What business can I have?â Su Wen said half-truthfully.
Yan Luoying looked at Su Wen and shook her head with a sigh. âMy father brought me some of the specialties in the Northern Border. I brought some over for you.â
At this moment, Su Wen noticed that there was a bag under Yan Luoyingâs feet.
Yan Luoying opened the bag. It contained some local products from the mountains and could not be considered expensive. However, Su Wen knew that this contained Yan Luoyingâs sincerity.
After all, these things were considered rare in the capital.
Su Wen sighed. Being indecisive only made things worse. He looked at Yan Luoying and said in a deep voice, âGeneral Yan, Lady Yan, letâs be honest today. Thereâs no need for us to interact anymore. Back then, you didnât want to marry and neither did I. We agreed to advance and retreat together, so why did Lady Yan go back on her words? I, Su Wen, after examining myself, other than being handsome, rich, talented, and strong, thereâs nothing outstanding about me! Why do you want to marry me now?â
Yan Luoying looked at Su Wen in surprise. This guy was really shameless.
However, this shamelessness suddenly seemed so pleasing to the eye.
Suddenly, Yan Luoying said in a sweet voice, âBrother Su Wen, do you think Iâm gentle if I behave this way?â
In that instant, Su Wen felt his hair stand on end.
âWhat⦠what are you doing?â he stuttered in a horrified tone.
Yan Luoying smiled. âI like you. Donât you like obedient girls? Iâll be very obedient in the future.â
Su Wen could tell that Yan Luoying was imitating Wu Muyu!
âWhat are you trying to do!â Su Wen was a little frustrated now.
Yan Luoying stopped smiling and said, âI donât like to be wishy-washy, so Iâll just say it directly! I like you! And it just so happens that we have an engagement. If thatâs the case, why should I back out?â
âBut I donât like you!â Su Wen said.
Yan Luoying finally felt Wu Lieâs pain. It felt terrible to be rejected by the person she liked.
She suddenly realized that to a certain extent, she and Wu Lie were the same kind of people.
If she liked him, she liked him! Since she liked him, she would love him intensely! With such a pure romance in their hearts, it was precisely because of this that she would not compromise with Wu Lie at all. It was because they were people who followed their hearts.
Yan Luoying said, âIâm sorry, but we have an engagement. Iâm very satisfied with this engagement, and I definitely wonât back out. Perhaps this will make you hate me, but I donât want to let go. Thatâs all. I believe that one day, you will accept me!â
With that said, she stood up and walked to the door. She turned to smile at Su Wen and said, âIf you really donât like me, you can kill me! I wonât resist! But you canât stop me from liking you!â
As he watched Yan Luoying leave, Su Wen couldnât help but curse. âF*ck! Lunatic! No wonder she could kill 400,000 people! She doesnât even care about her own life!â
In Su Wenâs eyes, life was the most precious thing. It surpassed everything one could ever have.
However, it was obvious that this was not the case in Yan Luoyingâs eyes.
âYoung Master, thereâs an old man outside asking to see you. He said heâs Ji Yuchen!â A servant reported.
The frustrated Su Wen stood up and left as he shouted angrily, âNot seeing! Who the f*ck wants to see an old man? Get him to scram!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Su Wen had never liked this old man from the start!
First, this old man wanted to dig up the past and make the Zhou Emperor resettle old scores. Then, he wanted to drag him to discuss some tax systems. What kind of joke was this?
At the entrance, Ji Yuchen waited anxiously.
The gatekeeper came out and handed back his name card, saying, âMy lord has said that he wonât see you!â
Behind Ji Yuchen, a squire was immediately displeased.
âDo you know who my familyâs old master is? Even when he met the emperor, he was never refused. Do you know how many people want to invite my familyâs old master, but my familyâs old master canât even make it?â
Just as he finished speaking, Zhao Jin walked out of the door and said with a cold smile, âSo what? My familyâs young master said he wonât see anyone right now! Whoever dares to be impudent, Iâll teach them a lesson. Donât you see whose residence entrance this is? You dare behave atrociously?â
Before the squire could speak, Ji Yuchen turned to glare at him.
The squire immediately shut up.
Ji Yuchen stepped forward and smiled at Zhao Jin. âCommander, please inform him that this old man is here to apologize.â
Zhao Jin rolled his eyes and said, âWhether you wish to apologize or not has nothing to do with me. Iâm just a bodyguard. I came out to tell you that if you dare behave atrociously, Iâll beat you up. As for making a report? Donât even think about it. If my young master says he wonât see you, then he wonât see you. If I go speak for you and disturb my young master, then the young master will definitely be displeased. Wonât that make me a fool for reporting in the first place?â
Ji Yuchen pondered for a while, then took out a banknote from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Jin! He thought that Zhao Jin wanted some benefits.
Zhao Jin took a step back and spat, âPah! You old thing, do you think Iâve never seen money? Look at this place, randomly picking up a brick is sufficient to buy half of your life. Do I look like someone who lacks money?â
Despite his old age, Ji Yuchen had never suffered such humiliation.
However, this old fellow forcefully endured it.
He put away the bank notes and stood at the door. âThen Iâll wait here.â
Zhao Jin said impatiently, âIf you want to wait, go to the side. Donât block the door!â
Ji Yuchen obediently moved to the side. Seeing that he was sensible, Zhao Jin did not say anything else. He entered the house and closed the door!
The retainer hurried to persuade him. âMy lord, what kind of status do you have? Why are you acting like this?â
Ji Yuchen said in a low voice, âFor the Great Zhou Dynastyâs thousand-year plan, my face is nothing!â
After the old fellow finished speaking, he really stood by the door.
He became a man that could not be moved!
As the sky gradually darkened, Su Wen and his family sat down at the dining table.
Ning Shuang walked to Su Wenâs side and reported in a low voice, âYoung Master, that Ji Yuchen is still waiting outside!â
Su Wen frowned. âStill waiting?â
âAll this time!â
âZhao Jin! Zhao Jin!â Su Wen yelled. Zhao Jinâs reply came from the outer residence. âIâm here, Young Master!â
Su Wen instructed loudly, âTake good care of that Old Fogey. If he dares to pee or shit at the door, beat him to death!â
After giving his instructions, Su Wen muttered, âF*ck, if he dares to pee in the corner of my house, I will beat him up!â
