Chapter 262 She is not my woman

Originally, Qi Xu planned to leave after beating the man.

He took a few steps forward, then turned back and stopped in front of Qi Zhen.

He untied the knot on the veil and took off the veil on his head.

Revealing her flawless little face, she said in a light and smiling voice, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, my face is healed. So, now, you should take a good look in the mirror and not be scared by yourself. It should be you."

Qi Xu knew her half-sister too well. After all, they had lived together since childhood, and she knew that Qi Zhen valued appearance the most.

So, if Qi Xu wanted to really hit her, he would hit her in the face.

"Your face? Your face, how could it be like this? Who healed your face! No, your scars are so severe, how could they be completely removed?"

"You must be wearing a human skin mask. This is not your own face!"

Qi Zhen didn't believe that the beautiful woman in front of her was Qi Xu. She raised her hand to see if Qi Xu was wearing a human skin mask to cover up her ugly face.

Qi Xu shrugged: "If you really can't accept it, you can make up this excuse to deceive yourself."

During this period, Jin Lu went out early and came back late every day, and spent most of his time in the woods. Firstly, he wanted to hunt and send the animals to Nanhuozhai; secondly, he didn't want to stay at home and face Qi Zhen.

Going hunting is a way to avoid being alone with Qi Zhen.

Today, I came back half an hour early and ran into Qi Xu.

"Qi Xu?"

The first person Jin Lu saw was Qi Xu, who was carrying a small medicine box with his back to him, rather than Qi Zhen, who was facing him.

He strode over, his excitement evident.

"Brother A Lu, you're back! That's great! You're finally back! If you hadn't come back, I might have been beaten to death by this Miss Qi Xu."

When Qi Zhen saw Jin Lu appear, her expression changed immediately, and she put on a pitiful face.

Qi Xu rolled his eyes in his heart and couldn't help but complain. With such acting skills, only Jin Luxin could do it.

She was too lazy to explain.

When she turned around and passed by Jin Lu, Jin Lu saw her face clearly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his deep eyes.

"Qi Xu, is your face healed?"

Qi Xu didn't even raise his eyelids or head, as if he didn't hear him, and continued on his way.

Jin Lu was indeed slow to react at times. For example, at this moment, he didn't realize that Qi Xu didn't respond to him because he didn't want to pay attention to him.

"Miss Qi Xu, it's getting dark. I'll escort you back."

Qi Xu frowned unhappily and said to him in a cold tone, "If you really have so much free time, please take care of your woman. If she screams in front of me again, I will beat her so hard that her parents won't recognize her."

"She is not my woman." Jin Lu retorted hurriedly, fearing that Qi Xu would misunderstand the relationship between him and Qi Zhen.

As for why he was so anxious to explain, Jin Lu himself couldn't explain it.

Qi Xu didn't care about their relationship at all. "Whatever. Anyway, just don't let me see her again."

Jin Lu didn't say anything else, but just followed her silently from a distance.

He was too afraid that Qi Xu would be hurt again.

He escorted her all the way back to Nanhuozhai. Seeing that she had safely entered the territory of Nanhuozhai, Jin Lu turned around and left.

Qi Zhen stared at Jin Lu's gradually receding back, unable to come back to her senses for a long time, and felt jealous again.

She didn't like the big fool with a scar on his face, but she enjoyed the dedication of this big fool to her, and also enjoyed the pleasure of snatching the man that Qi Xu liked.

She may not like Jin Lu, but Jin Lu must like her!

——

"Brother A Lu, you're back. Why did you leave with that girl and leave me alone? I'm so scared."

Qi Zhen first used her own tricks and pretended to be pitiful.

Jin Lu went about his own business silently, not really wanting to pay any attention to her.

Qi Xu's medicine basket was broken, and he wanted to make a new one for her.

At this moment, I am sorting out the cut vines.

Qi Zhen shamelessly moved closer and hummed coquettishly, "Brother A Lu, why are you ignoring me? Are you angry with me?"

Jin Lu almost jumped up to avoid her pressing body, his brows slightly furrowed. "Miss Qi Zhen, please respect yourself. I'm not deaf and can hear you. You don't need to get so close, lest others misunderstand our relationship."

Qi Zhen's anger, which she had been trying hard to suppress, was provoked by Jin Lu's words, and she couldn't help but lose her temper at him.

Because, in Qi Zhen's mind, she never looked down on this lowly exiled prisoner in front of her.

You are of such a lowly status, why do you look down on me?

"Someone else misunderstood? Could this someone else be Qi Xu? Are you attracted to Qi Xu? Because she has recovered her appearance and become beautiful!"

Jin Lu didn't really want to continue talking about this topic with her.

I remembered what Qi Xu said before: "From now on, it's best for you to stay at home and not cause trouble for Miss Qi Xu."

"I'm causing trouble for her? Look at my face, who's causing trouble for whom?" Qi Zhen got furious when she thought about her own face and how she and Qi Xu stood up and were severely compared to each other.

"Don't you have a good relationship with them? Can you please ask them for medicine for me? The wound on Qi Xu's face must have been healed by Princess Yunfu. With that medicine, my appearance can be restored to its former state."

Qi Zhen stroked her cheek, imagining that she could become more beautiful.

But Jin Lu rejected her request without even thinking about it.

"I can't do that."

"Why not? Oh, I forgot. They hate me so much, they definitely won't give me the medicine. Then you can say you want to use it on your face. Look at the scar on your face, it's so ugly!"

Qi Zhen's mind worked quickly and she soon came up with a solution for Jin Lu.

However, Jin Lu still refused to nod and help her.

"I don't care. You have to get the medicine for me. I don't want to be like Qi Xu before, wearing a veil every time I go out."

Seeing that even he didn't listen to her, Qi Zhen's emotions gradually got out of control, and her selfish side was accidentally revealed. Little did she know that her words not only exposed her true nature, but also revealed some information.

Jin Lu stopped what he was doing and locked his gaze on her. "Didn't you say you don't remember anything from the past? Then how did you know that Qi Xu used to wear a veil to hide the scars on his face whenever he went out?"

"I..." Qi Zhen's face was obviously stunned, and she replied stiffly, "I guess she's afraid of scaring others."
