Chapter 32 Malice

Women of lower three whites are usually heartless and disloyal. For some reason, Ji Lan suddenly remembered this sentence that he had heard somewhere before.

Unfeeling and ungrateful, Ji Lan repeated these four words silently, and looked at Nan Zhiyan's back as he walked down the stairs without looking back after saying this, and chuckled.

It seems to be quite consistent.

I just thought of the man just now and it was a pity that I didn’t see his face.

Ji Lan clicked his tongue and lit another cigarette, but this time, there was a hint of annoyance between his brows.

Nan Zhiyan was unable to go downstairs after all. As soon as she walked down the stairs, the terminal rang. It was a message from Lu Yanjing, asking her to go upstairs.

Looking down, Nan Zhiyan's eyes showed a hint of hesitation.

"Ayan, I finally found you."

Nan Zhiyan looked up and saw Ji Xun and Gu Wenqi.

Holding Nan Zhiyan's forearm, Ji Xun shivered at the cold touch of his fingertips.

"Ayan, what's wrong with you? Why are you so cold?"

As he said this, he frowned and looked around, trying to find a waiter to get a blanket to wrap Nan Zhiyan.

His eyes fell on the tip of Nan Zhiyan's nose, which was a little red from the cold, and Gu Wenqi frowned slightly.

While Ji Xun was calling for the waiter, he took off his coat.

"Wear mine."

Gu Wenqi smiled gently and was about to put clothes on Nan Zhiyan.

Ji Xun paused and looked at Gu Wenqi strangely. Is this guy so kind today?

Although he didn't like the fact that Nan Zhiyan was wearing another man's clothes, Ji Xun endured it and didn't say anything.

It’s better than Nan Zhiyan being frozen all the time.

But before Gu Wenqi's hand touched anyone, Nan Zhiyan turned sideways and shook his head.

"I'm not cold. Thank you for your kindness, Master Lord."

Gu Wenqi's hand froze in mid-air for a moment, along with the smile on his lips.

Nan Zhiyan ignored the change in Gu Wenqi's expression, but glanced around, staring at the boys and girls here with a fierce look.

Because it was just the first birthday party for the Prime Minister's eldest grandson, most of the people who came were young nobles or men and women of the same age as the Prime Minister's son.

There were many people staring at this place at the moment, of course not at Nan Zhiyan, but at Ji Xun and Gu Wenqi in front of her.

If she accepted Gu Wenqi's clothes now, she would be afraid that Nan Wenqi would come to question her tomorrow.

That’s right, although Nan Wenqi is ambitious and greedy for power and profit, he has never thought of letting Nan Zhiyan seduce the heirs of the four major families.

Of course, it’s not just because Nan Zhiyan is the successor he chose, but also because Nan Wenqi is particularly self-aware on this point.

He knew very well what they, including the Nan family, would face if Nan Zhiyan was favored by one of the heirs of the four major families.

It is not a simple relationship of love or likes and dislikes, but also involves the change of political power and the birth of new aristocrats.

Others certainly would not sit idly by and watch the Nan family break the existing rigid class structure and surpass them.

Of course, the four major families would not allow their heirs to marry the daughter of a vassal family.

Even though Nan Wenqi loved power, he knew that such a thing, which would do more harm than good, should not be done.

Otherwise, he would lose both the lady and the army, which would be a loss not only for the sake of gain but also for the sake of losing all his preparations over the years.

Of course, he would not believe that there was any kind of love that could make these shrewd, cold-blooded and ridiculously rational heirs go against their family's wishes and their own status and marry the daughter of a lower class in their eyes.

"Sorry, the master asked me to go upstairs. Miss Ji Xun, Master Lord, excuse me."

After saying goodbye politely, Nan Zhiyan turned and went upstairs.

"Brother Lu is really annoying. He always orders Ah Yan around for everything.

While Ji Xun looked unhappy, he also felt a little envious.

It would be great if she was Lu Yanjing. In that case, she would be the one who grew up with A Yan.

At the same time, she also blamed her mother for not coming to Uerlaf earlier, which made her meet A Yan so late.

"Yeah, it does make people a little unhappy."

Gu Wenqi withdrew his hand, casually put his coat over his arm, and looked at the empty staircase with flickering eyes.

Ji Xun turned his head and glanced at the man, then sneered.

"Why are you unhappy? You don't like Ah Yan, so Ah Yan naturally doesn't like you either. It's normal for him not to want your things."

Gu Wenqi did not reply, but when he heard Ji Xun say that Nan Zhiyan didn't like him either, the smile on his face faded.

But when he turned around, he almost knocked someone down.

"Miss, are you okay?"

Not missing the other party's deliberate fall, a hint of impatience flashed across Gu Wenqi's eyes, but he still helped the girl in front of him up with one hand.

He leaned forward slightly, his expression concerned.

The beautiful girl looked up at Gu Wenqi's handsome face, and her cheeks instantly turned red.

"I'm fine, thank you, Master Lord. If it weren't for you, I would have made a fool of myself."

As if a little embarrassed, the girl lowered her head, leaving only a part of her beautiful neck exposed.

Gu Wenqi's eyes paused slightly, and what came to his mind was another person's more slender and eye-catching neck, along with the thin but exceptionally straight and cold back.

Feeling Gu Wenqi's gaze on her, the girl seemed even more shy, and there was even a hint of pride in her eyes.

"Master Lord, I'm just a little cold. Can you lend me your coat?"

"Pa pa pa"

Ji Xun, who had been standing aside and watching the show, applauded. Although he looked down upon the girl's tricks, since the target was Gu Wenqi, Ji Xun certainly didn't care.

"Brother Qi, it looks like you're going to have another little fan girl. I'm really envious. Aren't you more popular than Ah Yan, Brother Qi?"

Walking past the two of them, Ji Xun said something to Gu Wenqi with a smile, lowered his eyes and glanced at the girl again before slowly leaving.

The look in his eyes, as if he was looking at some trash, made the girl feel ashamed for a moment.

But when he thought of Gu Wenqi in front of him, he quickly hid himself again.

Just as she was about to look up, she heard Gu Wenqi's voice in her ears. It was so close that the girl could even feel the hot breath Gu Wenqi exhaled.

"You mean, you want my coat?"

Looking at Gu Wenqi's face so close to her, feeling all kinds of envious and jealous gazes coming from all directions, the girl's heart was beating wildly and her expression became even more smug.

But she didn't notice the coldness in Gu Wenqi's eyes where she couldn't see.

"Yes, Master Lord, if you don't mind, can you..."

"Are you worthy?"

But before the girl could finish her words, Gu Wenqi's voice rang in her ears again.

But this time, the three malicious words made her raise her head instantly.

As if she thought it was her own illusion, the girl looked at Gu Wenqi, and the shyness on her face became somewhat forced.

"You, what did you say?"
