Chapter 174 Xuanyuan Yu is really annoying
Even if Xuanyuan Yu was a hostage, he was still the prince of Qi. Gu Siqing could not accept such a gift.
Gu Siqing quickly returned the greeting and said with a wry smile, "Sir, you flatter me too much."
Xuanyuan Yu thought she was worried that he would attack Yue in the future, so he assured her, "After I return to Qi, I will definitely make friends with Yue. As long as I am alive, I will not let a war break out between the two countries."
He spoke with such confidence that it really sounded like he was speaking from the heart.
Are you on good terms with the Kingdom of Yue? Gu Siqing chewed on this sentence, thinking that a fox is a fox.
Xuanyuan Yu has been hiding in the Yue Kingdom's palace for many years. Although he cannot be said to be sleeping on straw and tasting gall, his situation as a hostage means that his days in Yue Kingdom are bound to be on thin ice.
He was very good at hiding himself, and Gu Siqing could not hear anything wrong from his words, but if she really believed that Xuanyuan Yu had no other intentions, she would be too stupid.
When a fox hides its tail and curls up in the snow, it looks like a puppy.
Seeing Gu Siqing staring at him without blinking, Xuanyuan Yu's mouth twitched: "Why are you looking at me like this, Mr. Liu?"
"I don't believe it." Gu Siqing spoke directly, "Those who are not of our race must have different hearts. We have different positions, so there will be many conflicts. A war between two countries cannot be easily decided."
Gu Siqing's hand under the table was stroking the jade pendant on her waist. Not to mention between the two countries, in the business world, there are many contradictions among shops run by different owners. Greater interests will stimulate greater conflicts.
I don't know which words touched Xuanyuan Yu's heart. A light flashed in the man's narrow eyes. Then he frowned in a sad way and said distressedly: "Mr. Liu doesn't believe me just because he belongs to a different country."
He intentionally prolonged the last syllable of his voice. Gu Siqing didn't like him talking like that and didn't know what he was up to.
Gu Siqing was impatient. She saw the lotus cake on the side, picked up a piece and took a bite.
Xuanyuan Yu watched her eating movements and smiled: "Since you don't believe me, why do you believe Bai Ziyu?"
It was quite abrupt for this person to mention Bai Ziyu's name. Gu Siqing exerted force on her hands and the lotus cake broke into powder and fell on the hem of her clothes.
Gu Siqing was distracted for a moment, lowered his head to brush off the crumbs of the lotus cake, and then casually placed them on the table with a handkerchief.
She and Bai Ziyu have known each other for a long time. Since Xuanyuan Yu knew about her cooperation with Chi Hongyuan, he naturally knew that she and Bai Ziyu had a close relationship.
But the implication of the other party's words is that Bai Ziyu is not a Yue person?
This person likes to play with people's hearts. These words are probably just his deliberate attempt to sow discord. Or, is Xuanyuan Yu trying to hint something to her?
Gu Siqing did not respond. This was the simplest and most effective approach when one did not know the other party's intention.
"I roughly understand what you mean, sir. However, my initial cooperation with His Majesty the Ninth Prince was based on interests. There is no personal relationship between His Majesty the Ninth Prince and I."
Gu Siqing did not bring the topic to Bai Ziyu, but simply talked about Xuanyuan Yu's purpose today.
Since she couldn't escape either way, the best she could do was to help pass on a message.
"I understand. Originally, I should have discussed the cooperation with His Majesty the Ninth Prince in detail. I also made it very clear at the beginning. I just need Mr. Liu to be the middleman for me."
Xuanyuan Yu's voice was filled with a cheerful laugh. From the first time they met and talked to this meeting, Gu Siqing discovered that he loved to laugh.
But this smile is really annoying, as if everything is under his control.
"Okay, I will convey the young master's intention to His Majesty the Ninth Prince. There is nothing else I can do." Gu Siqing leaned back in the chair dejectedly, as if he was buried in a thick fox cloak.
This feeling brought Gu Siqing back to his previous life.
The sound of actors singing came from the stage, but Gu Siqing was thinking about other things and didn't pay attention. Xuanyuan Yu heard the sound of the opera on the stage in the lobby, and tapped the table with his index finger, pulling Gu Siqing back to his thoughts: "It's "Sleeping on the Straw and Tasting Gall."
Gu Siqing's mouth twitched, and he looked at Xuanyuan Yu with a strange look in his eyes: "Don't tell me that this is the play that you ordered yourself."
Xuanyuan Yu was amused by her reaction and spread his hands and said, "Mr. Liu, you misunderstood. I didn't know what kind of play I would sing before I came here."
There was a bit of double meaning in his words. Gu Siqing felt annoyed and didn't want to look at this person, so she looked away.
The actors on the stage have beautiful voices, and they express the protagonist's difficult situation through their singing, which is fascinating.
Gu Siqing sneered. Xuanyuan Yu was just a fox waiting for an opportunity to strike. Stories like sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall had nothing to do with him.
"Mr. Liu seems to have a lot of opinions about me. Oh, no, I should call you Miss Gu now." Xuanyuan Yu tapped his index finger on the table from time to time, and it was unclear whether he was following the rhythm of the opera or just teasing Gu Siqing playfully.
The charcoal in the fire was burning brightly, and the room seemed to be getting a little hot. Gu Siqing stood up suddenly, took off his fox cloak and put it aside: "Young Master, you seem to have a lot to say? Do you have to say it to me?"
When listening to Yin Miaoyin's chattering, Gu Siqing felt that the girl was lively and cute, and spoke like a lark. When listening to Xuanyuan Yu speaking, she felt that even a single word uttered by the other party was polluted to her ears.
"There are only you and me in the private room. If I don't tell the girl, who else should I tell?" Xuanyuan Yu said innocently.
The clanging sounds of musical instruments in the audience rose and fell, the melody became urgent, and Gu Siqing's temper also became aroused.
She seriously suspected that Xuanyuan Yu had a hobby, which was that he liked to tease others calmly and leisurely, and that was his pleasure.
"Sir, do you have anything else to say?" Gu Siqing didn't even have the mood to eat her favorite lotus cake.
Xuanyuan Yu didn't say anything. He didn't say no, nor did he say yes. His attitude meant that there was no.
Gu Siqing resisted the urge to curse, stood up and said through gritted teeth: "Since there is nothing else, I will take my leave first. I will convey the young master's meaning to His Highness the Ninth Prince. Please don't come to see me again in the future."
After saying that, she picked up the fox cloak and walked out. Xuanyuan Yu did not stop her. He looked at the handkerchief that fell on the table and did not speak to remind her. Instead, he took the handkerchief with a malicious look.
Gu Siqing walked down the stairs quickly, the opera was noisy and lively in her ears, and her thoughts were confused like a tangled mess. When she walked out of Zuixianlou, a gust of cold wind blew in her face. Gu Siqing shivered and quickly put on the fox cloak.
The girl turned her head and glanced at the private room on the second floor. A hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes. Why not join forces with Chi Hongyuan to kill this man? Xuanyuan Yu looked very dangerous and cunning. I'm afraid it would be difficult to deal with him.
