Ao Qian glanced at her with a deep look. "They said a lot more, but all you heard was 'pleasing to the eye'?"
Song Xiwei: "???"
What kind of strategy is Aoqian using?
When people tease him about how well they match, saying they're a perfect match, shouldn't Aoqian feel disgusted and repulsed?
Why does he seem not only not repulsed or disgusted, but also has an undeniable smile on his lips, as if he's in a pretty good mood?
"Young Master, I am a man, how could we possibly be a good match!" Song Xiwei poured cold water on him.
Upon hearing this, Aoqian frowned slightly, his expression darkening.
But he quickly recovered and met Song Xiwei's beautiful eyes. Aoqian's voice was deep: "It was just those demon servants playing a joke. If you mind it so much and want to pursue it, I'll punish them."
"Huh? No, they were just having fun, it wasn't offensive. Young Master, please don't punish them, I don't mind..." Song Xiwei felt a chill run down her spine.
These demon servants were just joking; don't people often make jokes about themselves in the gaps?
Aoqian hadn't paid much attention at first, but their sudden reaction almost got them punished by Aoqian.
Song Xiwei was afraid that Aoqian would really punish them, so she nervously reached out to grab Aoqian's hand and pleaded for the demon servants, "I really don't mind, Young Master, please don't mind either, okay? Others just think it's beautiful to see the two of us walking like this, and they're not wrong. If I were a woman, and Young Master's sweetheart, walking with Young Master like this would be a match made in heaven, wouldn't it?"
Aoqian kept a straight face and didn't say anything.
Song Xiwei continued to say to Aoqian, "How about letting them go?"
Aoqian paused for a moment before speaking, "These demon servants are always gossiping. If we tolerate them this time, there's no guarantee they won't do it again. You might not mind once, but what if they do it again next time? Song Xiwei, their behavior must be severely punished as a warning to others, otherwise it will encourage more demon servants to follow suit!"
"It's okay if it happens again, I really don't mind. They can talk to you, it won't hurt them. Young Master, please don't mind either, okay? Can you please let them off the hook for my sake? Don't punish them..."
Aoqian coughed and said in a deliberately stiff tone, "Since you've pleaded for them like this, how can I not give you face?"
"Yes, yes, I thank you on their behalf for your magnanimity, Young Master."
Song Xi breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her head.
They didn't see the fleeting glint of triumphant cunning in Ao Qian's eyes.
When he escorted Song Xiwei back to her room, Aoqian paused and said, "I'll go prepare some food. You can go back and rest for a while."
"good."
After Aoqian left, he did not immediately prepare food for Song Xiwei, but instead summoned the demon servants.
Each demon servant was given a generous reward.
"Your performance just now was acceptable. Let's continue tomorrow."
"Yes, young lord."
...
Song Xiwei had no idea what Aoqian had done in secret.
However, she felt uneasy about Aoqian's decision to severely punish him just because someone had teased her about their relationship.
Aoqian's current power is beyond his ability to contend with.
If he really goes berserk and targets someone, there's nothing I can do but try to appease him.
The desire to kill must be eradicated from the very first hint of it.
We must never allow Aoqian to revert to his bloodthirsty nature.
Song Xiwei paced restlessly in the room. When Aoqian knocked on the door, the unease on her face had not yet faded.
So much so that when Song Xiwei opened the door and saw Aoqian carrying delicious food and wine, she didn't have a strong appetite at all.
Ao Qian put down the delicious food and wine, glanced at her, and said, "What? You said you didn't mind, but you actually do mind?"
