Chapter 297 Getting Scammed (2/2)

You're pretending you didn't see it today?

That's really quite strange.

Xu Heming frowned. Everyone says that if something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on.

Why is Cheng Qingli avoiding me like this? Could it be that she has done something wrong?

Cheng Qingli turned around for a while, and seeing that Xu Heming hadn't come over, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Xu Heming must not have seen her.

Thinking of this, Cheng Qingli ran away without a second thought.

"Why are you running?" Xu Heming flashed forward and blocked Cheng Qingli's path.

Something's fishy!

Xu Heming suddenly remembered Li Zhiwei, who should have been with her at Qingyuzhai.

I had a bad feeling.

"Oh my, it's Prince An! What a coincidence! What do you mean, what a coincidence to run into you here?"

Knowing she couldn't escape, Cheng Qingli put on a fawning smile and greeted Xu Heming.

"What are you doing here?" Xu Heming stared intently at Cheng Qingli and asked.

Thinking to himself, Cheng Qingli is here, but where is Li Zhiwei?

Did the two fail to reach an agreement?

“What you’re saying, Prince An, is so strange. Are you saying I can’t even walk on this main road?” Cheng Qingli said to Xu Heming with a laugh.

"Where is she?" Xu Heming frowned, but still asked the question that had been on his mind.

Where did Li Zhiwei go?

Thinking about how Cheng Qingli had been avoiding him just now, he had a bad feeling. Could something have happened to Li Zhiwei?

Thinking of this, Xu Heming felt somewhat uneasy.

"Your Highness, how would I know where Miss Li went? She's your fiancée, not mine! Maybe she went home, maybe she went to see another man!"

Cheng Qingli said, her eyes darting around.

The thought of Li Zhiwei possibly having fun with those five men made Cheng Qingli feel a little excited again.

Xu Heming kept staring at Cheng Qingli. He didn't believe a word she said just now, but he also didn't miss the fleeting excitement in Cheng Qingli's eyes.

Xu Heming drew his sword from his waist with a "whoosh," pointed it at Cheng Qingli, and asked coldly, "I'll ask you one more time, where is she?"

Xu Heming looked at Cheng Qingli with icy eyes and didn't say anything, but the warning in his eyes was very clear.

"Your Highness Prince An, what do you intend to do to my young lady? If you dare to harm her, Her Majesty the Empress will not let you off!" Yaoyue was also surprised that Xu Heming would actually draw his sword against her young lady. At this moment, she looked angrily at Xu Heming and threatened him with the Empress.

"I'll ask you one more time, where is she?" Xu Heming's voice was full of impatience.

She felt extremely anxious at the thought that Li Zhiwei might be in danger.

It's all my fault. I should have gone up with Li Zhiwei back then.

Otherwise, Li Zhiwei wouldn't have been in danger.

"You'd better speak properly, or my sword is not to be trifled with!" Xu Heming warned, fearing that Cheng Qingli might not be telling the truth.

The more he thought about Cheng Qingli's evasive look, the stronger his bad premonition became.

Yaoyue wanted to say something more, but when she thought about how her young mistress had tricked Miss Li into going to Qingfeng Tower, she had no choice but to shut her mouth.

Seeing that Xu Heming was serious, Cheng Qingli was so frightened that she quickly said, "She's at Qingfeng Tower!"
