Chapter 160 The Scheming Boy 3

The boy steadied himself and didn't fall, but his veil was removed, and he was so angry that his eyes turned red.

How could he let any woman tear him down like that? His face can only be shown to his future wife.

He immediately covered his face with his sleeve, his eyes welling up with tears. "Shameless! Tearing off a man's veil, you lecher!"

Xu Qiuqiu was stunned. Although she only glanced at him, she recognized the boy as Achen.

Seeing the tears welling in his eyes, she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to pull you up so you wouldn't fall. I didn't mean to..."

The servant quickly blocked the boy's way, angrily shouting, "Quickly return my young master's veil!"

Xu Qiuqiu handed over the veil in her hand. Chun'er saw that her mistress had been scolded again, and she said angrily, "What's so good-looking about your young master? He's not good-looking at all. You can tell from his appearance that he won't be liked by women!"

Chun'er was right. In a matriarchal society, men who were too tall were indeed not favored by women. Although she didn't see the boy's face clearly, she thought he was unattractive just by looking at his figure.

Moreover, he has such a fiery temper. I doubt anyone would dare to propose marriage to him at his age. What young lady would want to marry such a shrewish man who also practices martial arts? He has absolutely no sense of male virtue.

The servant was furious with Chun'er, but Xu Qiuqiu pulled Chun'er back, saying, "Chun'er, don't be rude. I was in the wrong first."

She walked up to the boy, who had already put his veil back on. His chest was still heaving, as if he was very angry and didn't want to say anything more.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, please don't be angry, okay?" Xu Qiuqiu apologized sincerely.

"I've given you that jade pendant, don't be angry."

Under the moonlight, her eyes were gentle and tender. The boy was slightly taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and his tone was no longer so angry, "Who needs you to give way!"

His heart began to pound strangely. He didn't understand what was wrong. Perhaps it was because, apart from his older sister and the girl from seven years ago, no woman had ever comforted him like this, telling him not to be angry.

Xu Qiuqiu smiled gently at him, "I didn't let you win. In fact, you won, and it was my unfair victory. So the jade pendant should belong to you."

Chun'er was stunned. Why would her young lady coax a strange man?

The servant was also stunned. Why did this woman's attitude change so quickly?

Just a moment ago she was looking down on you, but now she seems to be trying to please you.

Could it be that she's after the young master's good looks?

The boy merely snorted coldly without replying, but he was also wondering why, despite his martial arts skills and bad temper, she showed him no prejudice whatsoever.

Her maidservant's reaction was more like that of a woman from the Li Kingdom.

He looked down at her gentle smile, which seemed to overlap with the girl who had comforted him seven years ago.

He shook his head. Impossible, it must be an illusion.

He didn't intend to keep the jade pendant anymore. He only took it because he felt a momentary familiarity with it. Who knew it would cause such a mess? He was still angry that a strange woman had seen his face.

But looking at her face, he couldn't stay angry, so he turned and left.

Xu Qiuqiu quickly chased after him, holding the jade pendant. "Here's the jade pendant. Will you tell me your name?"

The servant couldn't help but say, "How can you be so presumptuous, asking a man's name directly?"

Sure enough, this woman coveted his young master's looks. Her attitude changed so drastically after just one glance. He had to protect his young master.

To avoid being defiled by this lecherous man!

Seeing that the servant was about to stop her, Chun'er stopped him, saying, "My young lady has something to say to your young master, so please don't disturb her."

Although Chun'er didn't know why her mistress was acting this way, she had asked for her name, so she must be interested in this young man.

The servant boy, his face flushing red as Chun'er pulled him back, said with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance, "Let go of me! Don't pull me!"

Chun'er ignored her completely. She spoke as if she really wanted to touch him, just like her young master, so fierce and shrewish. If she were to marry someone in the future, she would definitely not choose someone with such a sharp tongue.

The boy walked very fast, as if trying to shake her off, but Xu Qiuqiu was able to keep up with him.

She quickly walked up to him and stopped him. "Are you still angry? I didn't see anything. Don't be angry."

"Don't follow me."

Seeing that the boy was still unhappy, she thought for a moment and said, "If you really mind, I'll take responsibility for you, okay?"

"You—" After all, he was a boy, and the boy's face turned red instantly at her words.

"How could you make such a promise to a man so casually? You're frivolous and dissolute!"

As the crowds on the street increased, a child ran too fast and bumped into Xu Qiuqiu, causing her to lose her balance and fall in front of the boy.

Seeing this, the boy tried to dodge, but Xu Qiuqiu was faster and grabbed his hand, throwing him into his arms.

This was the first time the boy had such intimate contact with a woman. His face turned even redder, and his heart was pounding. He wanted to push her away, but his body was weak and he couldn't muster any strength.

Her body was warm, and her body was very soft…

Normally, he would have broken the hand of such a lecherous man long ago, but at this moment he could only hear his own frantic heartbeat and smell the fragrance on her body.

Sensing the tension in the boy's body, Xu Qiuqiu looked up and saw his stunned expression. Finding him somewhat adorable, she couldn't resist reaching out to touch his face. His eyes reddened slightly, and she murmured softly, "So cute..."

Just as she was about to let go, her hand was grabbed. The boy's voice trembled slightly as he asked her nervously, "Did you... save a little boy when you were a child?"

Xu Qiuqiu didn't understand why he was reacting so strongly. She remembered the time when the information was sent to her was wrong, and it seemed that she had saved a little boy. She nodded, "He was very cute back then."

"It really is you..." The boy was so excited that he hugged her without regard for the traditional boundaries between men and women.

Held in his arms, Xu Qiuqiu was completely bewildered. Did he mean that he was the little boy from back then?

"What's your name? You left without even giving me your name." The boy's tone was soft, but tinged with a hint of resentment.

"Ning Qiu," Xu Qiuqiu answered obediently, then asked him, "And you?"

The boy was annoyed. He had already told her his name back then. "Shen Yuchen, you don't even remember my name!"

Before Xu Qiuqiu could speak, the servant quickly caught up. Seeing the two already embracing, his expression began to break down. "You lecherous scoundrel, let go of my young master!"

It's over, his young master's innocence is almost gone.

Chun'er felt that she had done her best. This servant was very difficult to deal with and even bit her hand, leaving teeth marks all over it. But when she saw the two of them hugging, she knew she hadn't made a mistake in stopping them.

However, Miss is going to marry Young Master Lin the day after tomorrow. Would it be inappropriate to want to find a concubine now?
