Su Qian’s heart tightened. She did not expect Xiao Yan to not believe her at all.

“I may not be the same kind of person as him, but we are definitely not the same kind of people. Ninth Prince, please have some self-respect and let me go immediately.” Su Qian said as she frowned. “You’re hurting me!”

At first, Xiao Yan was reluctant to let go, but when he heard her words, he became nervous and instinctively released his grip.

Su Qian quickly took two steps back and kept a distance from Xiao Yan. Then, she looked pitifully at her wrist, which was slightly red from being pinched.

Xiao Yan was careful with his movements, but Su Qian’s wrist was too delicate. A little force would leave a red mark, making her look pitiful.

Su Qian glared at Xiao Yan angrily and saw something that surprised her.

Xiao Yan, who usually had a smile on his face, couldn’t smile anymore. He stared intently at Su Qian’s reddened wrist, his eyes filled with guilt and heartache.

Su Qian’s eyes widened in surprise. She never thought that Xiao Yan would have such an expression on his face.

Moreover, this expression was actually because of her.

Su Qian was too shocked to react for a moment. On the other hand, Xiao Yan immediately reached out and held Su Qian’s hand tightly. His fingers patiently rubbed her red wrist. “Does it still hurt?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It didn’t hurt. There weren’t any external injuries to begin with, so Su Qian didn’t take this small matter seriously. However, who knew that Xiao Yan’s reaction would be so unexpected? His gentle movements and slow massage made Su Qian extremely uncomfortable. She felt that this person’s gentle movements were like feathers, brushing past her heart, making her a little flustered.

“It doesn’t hurt anymore.” Su Qian quickly withdrew her hand and calmed her breathing and her restless heartbeat. “Your Highness, I’ve said what I had to say. I’ll leave first.”

Without giving Xiao Yan a chance to react, Su Qian raised her hand and knocked on the wall of the carriage. After getting the coachman to stop, she quickly got out of the carriage and fled like a frightened rabbit.

Xiao Yan sat in the carriage, his fingers that seemed to be carved out of jade gently caressing Su Qian’s body temperature. He recalled how she looked like she was in pain just now, and his heart inexplicably ached. “Dong Yan.”

“Yes.” Dong Yan hurriedly responded from outside the carriage.

“I remember there’s a good healing medicine at the resident.” Xiao Yan’s voice was very calm. “Go and find the healing medicine. I’m going to Qianqian’s house tonight.”

After Dongyan agreed to it, the carriage continued its journey in the direction of the Ninth Prince’s Residence.

Meanwhile, in the VIP room of the Feng Lin Auction House.

Gu Qingyou was drinking tea face-to-face with the First Elder. His smile was very gentle. He sighed and said, “I thought I had offended the First Elder earlier and was at a loss. I didn’t expect the First Elder to put aside past grudges and take the initiative to stay for tea. I’m really flattered.”

The First Elder of the Blood Demon Pavilion smiled politely, “What are you saying, Great Steward Gu? 1 was angry just now because of the Su family. Our Blood Demon Pavilion has always been friendly, especially our branch. We have always admired the Feng Lin Auction House. 1 have long wanted to be friends with you.”

“It’s my honor to be able to be friends with you,” Gu Qingyou’s polite words were smooth. As he spoke, he raised the teacup in his hand. “First Elder, please.”

“Great Steward Gu, please.” After gulping down a cup of tea, the First Elder changed the topic. “To be frank with you, Great Steward, 1 have a very important matter to ask for your help today..”
