"You're so plain-looking, you look like you could be blown away by the wind, what exactly does Wange like about you?"

Hearing the other person belittle him like that, Ning Qiyuan was also a little unhappy: "Does it matter to you what I do? So what if Wan Ge likes me?"

"Stop ruining his reputation." Chi Qing suddenly punched the other person in the face.

Ning Qiyuan lost his balance and took a step back. He didn't know how he ended up falling backward, landing hard on his buttocks in the ditch.

Ye Jue watched the other person fall quietly, and silently took a step back. No one would see that he had just stretched out his foot.

Ning Qiyuan was also furious after he realized what had happened: "You dare hit me!"

Then, ignoring the water and mud covering his body, he punched Chi Qing in the face as well.

Seeing this, the others rushed forward to try and calm the two down.

It took a lot of effort to separate the two fighting people.

Just then, a woman's voice rang out: "Brother Chi Qing, how are you?"

Then the others saw a beautiful girl in a fashionable dress appear in front of them; the girl looked very familiar.

Duan Manye took out a handkerchief, wanting to wipe Chi Qing's face, her eyes filled with worry.

Chi Qing turned her face away abruptly, her tone extremely cold: "Who are you? Do I know you?"

Duan Manye quickly spoke up: "My name is Duan Manye. I am the real daughter of the Duan family. We have met before, don't you remember?"

"I don't remember." Chi Qing clenched his fists, his tone extremely cold.

Ye Jue rarely saw this reaction from Chi Qing, after all, Chi Qing was usually very gentle, especially towards young ladies, he was gentle, polite and knew how to behave properly.

But now he's making it so obvious that he hates someone.

“It’s okay, we can get to know each other again, after all, we are engaged.”

"Engaged couple?" Chi Qing sneered, then looked at the particularly disheveled person opposite her: "Your fiancé is that one over there, isn't he?"

Duan Manye followed his gaze and saw Ning Qiyuan being comforted by the crowd.

She was only surprised for a moment, but a look of disgust quickly crossed her face.

"Brother Chi Qing, I'm not familiar with him. The engagement was just a joke between the two families. Wait a minute... did Brother Chi Qing have a conflict with him because of me?"

Could it be that he heard that Ning Qiyuan used to be his fiancé, which is why he dislikes him and wants to take revenge?

So it was a lie when he said he didn't know her; he was just angry.

"Stop trying to glorify yourself. Who do you think you are?" Chi Qing snorted coldly.

"Brother Chi Qing, if it weren't for me, why would you have a conflict with him? And why are you so angry?"

At this moment, Ning Qiyuan spoke up: "He's angry because of Wan Ge, because Wan Ge likes me."

When Ning Qiyuan first saw Duan Mandie, he was excited and delighted.

But when he saw that she didn't even glance at him, and her entire gaze was fixed on Chi Qing, he suddenly felt annoyed.

Can't she see him? She clearly said before that she liked him very much. When she went home before, she said that she might never come back to the village and that she would wait for him to come to the capital to find her when he was able to.

But what's going on now?

"Mandie, can't you see me?" No matter how much she liked that man, he only had eyes for Wan Ge and didn't care about her at all.

He just didn't expect that this man would care so much about Wan Ge, who clearly looked like nothing special except for her good looks.

Unfortunately, the person Wan Ge likes now is him, and he is destined to be disappointed.

…

"Brother Qiyuan, are you alright?" Duan Manye wanted to reach out her hand, but seeing his muddy and dirty appearance, she couldn't help but frown.

Ning Qiyuan could obviously see the other person's disdain. How could she have become like this! Duan Mandie had never looked down on him before.

What does she mean now? He knows that once she returns to the city, the marriage agreement between the two families cannot continue, but he felt that there was still affection between them. But now it seems that he was overthinking it.

"I'm fine," Ning Qiyuan replied and left immediately.

Duan Manye sensed that the other person seemed to be in a bad mood, but she still didn't go forward and turned to face Chi Qing.

"Brother Chi Qing..."

Chi Qing snorted and turned to leave.

Duan Manye watched as the two turned and left, her eyes immediately reddening, and her gaze fell on Ye Jue again.

However, when Ye Jue's gaze swept over her, she immediately lowered her head again.

Duan Manye had heard of the brother who was by Chi Qing's side and felt that he was not someone to be trifled with, so she did not dare to provoke him. Even though she was initially amazed by his appearance, she knew that he was not someone she could mess with, so she just looked at him and did not dare to have any thoughts.

…

Ye Jue returned to their room and saw that Chi Qing had swept all the books off the table.

"So angry?"

Chi Qing looked incredulous: "I don't believe Wan Ge would like someone like that. He's so weak and frail, not as good-looking as me, and his abilities are terrible. He also doesn't have a good temper like me. Besides, the way he looks at that woman shows that he doesn't really like Wan Ge."

Therefore, I don't believe that Wan Ge would like someone like that.

Although he hadn't had much contact with Wan Ge, he knew she was an exceptionally outstanding woman, and how could such an outstanding woman like her possibly like a man like that?
