In fact, Cen Xi was wrong this time. All afternoon until evening, Xiao Qiliang did nothing but play chess and drink. In the end, he even personally escorted Cen Xi back to her courtyard.
Cen Xi was completely bewildered. Her two bosses at the company used to play mind games, but they were just swindling each other out of money.
So what exactly does this person want? If he doesn't kill her, what is his purpose? What else can he possibly gain from her?
Forget it, don't think about anything else, getting some sleep is the most important thing. No matter what, if there's a plan, there will be flaws. Just deal with it. How can I work if I don't get my energy back?
As soon as she entered the room, she saw a man in white sitting inside. Shen Jinchen was leisurely drinking tea from her teacup.
Cen Xi's brow twitched, and she raised an eyebrow, asking, "What is Prime Minister Shen doing?"
"Wait for you."
Shen Jinchen finished his tea and said calmly.
"Chen Xiang is still so shameless and despicable, trespassing without permission. Is this how you act as a teacher?"
Cen Xi sat down opposite him and sneered.
"I've never followed the rules before, so what does that have to do with being a teacher? Qingqing can greet everyone with a smile, so why is she always like this to me?"
Shen Jinchen looked at Cen Xi with resentment, as if accusing her of being heartless.
"Because others won't have any designs on me, but you will."
Cen Xi plopped down and said without any politeness.
"I only wanted you to be my wife. What's wrong with admiration?"
Shen Jinchen readily admitted that he had ulterior motives, and that his eyes revealed an undisguised desire.
"Could it be that Prime Minister Shen has a bad memory? Didn't Prime Minister Shen agree that we should go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other from that day on? Why is he still causing me trouble?"
Cen Xi sighed, speechless for a moment. She had seen shamelessness before, but never that of a man. Her boss in her previous life was quite shameless, but this Chen Gou was a hundred times more shameless than her former boss. But she was determined to stand up for what was already established, even if it wouldn't make much of a difference.
"That day, I only let you go. I never agreed to anything. Besides, you are already mine. Why make unnecessary struggles?"
Shen Jinchen poured himself another cup of tea and looked at Cen Xi as he slowly spoke.
"you!"
Cen Xi was so angry she almost fell over. Impulsiveness really is the devil. She had really provoked a wolf, and it was the kind that would bite her every time they met.
Heavens above, she really wanted to commit seppuku!
After agonizing over it, she asked in a tone that was both pouty and resentful:
"So what if we slept together? To me, it was just a one-night stand. Why is someone as upright and honorable as Shen Xiang so persistent with me? Wouldn't it be better to just pretend we don't know each other?"
"No! What I truly desire, and who I desire, I will obtain even if it takes my entire life."
Shen Jinchen glanced at her and said calmly.
"Have you no shame? Are you saying I'll never escape your grasp for the rest of my life?"
Cen Xi was in a complete mess. What kind of jerk was this? What was she going to do?
"Actually, Qingqing, you don't need to be so troubled. As long as you marry me as I wish, I will spoil you and indulge you. You can do whatever you want."
Shen Jinchen came with sincerity today, so his words were somewhat genuine.
"I won't marry you! I'd rather die than marry you! Get the hell out of here!"
Cen Xi was immediately enraged by his attitude and burst into a rage.
"I won't leave. I'm staying here tonight. Don't be angry, Qingqing. You won't look good if you're angry."
Seeing Cen Xi's furious state, Shen Jinchen stood up and went to her side. He grabbed her hand, said something forcefully, and then tried to soothe her.
Seeing him like this, Cen Xi seriously suspected that he was mentally ill, and quite seriously so. What should she do?
She can't escape, she can't hide, and she's even been seduced and lost her virginity. How can she possibly get rid of this dog?
Ah! Ah! Ah! She's really going crazy.
"Let's rest, don't be angry! I'll give you more money, okay?"
Shen Jinchen gently stroked Cen Xi's face, which was disguised as a man, and coaxed her.
Holding her breath, exhaling, holding her breath again, exhaling—Cen Xi's hands loosened and tightened again, loosening and tightening for a moment before she suddenly smiled broadly:
"Good! Good! Good! Great! Come on, it's just going to bed, right? Prime Minister Shen is known as the most handsome man at the grand banquet. I'm not losing out, I really am not losing out."
After Cen Xi finished speaking, without waiting for Shen Jinchen's reply, she wrapped her arms around Shen Jinchen's neck and kissed his lips fiercely.
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Shen Jinchen felt no remorse and swept Cen Xi up in his arms, placing her on the bed.
Then came the sound of clothes falling off one by one and the bed curtains being pulled down.
Afterwards, Cen Xi, in a fit of pique, stopped going to class and spent his days playing chess, chatting, and drinking with Xiao Qiliang. Their relationship progressed rapidly, and they became like brothers.
Cen Xi originally thought that Xiao Qiliang had discovered that she was a woman, but his behavior didn't seem to reflect that. He seemed to genuinely treat Jiang Yu like a brother.
This made her sigh that there were so many clever people in ancient times who played power games. She considered herself to be exceptionally gifted, but when it came to playing power games and understanding people's hearts, she really didn't seem to be good at it.
She couldn't fathom the other man's thoughts either. After that night, Shen Jinchen behaved himself as a teacher and never contacted her again.
And each time they met, he didn't flirt with Cen Xi, which was really inexplicable.
About ten days later, Cen Xi, having waited in vain for Xiao Qiliang's actions, grew restless. She had initially intended to fish for him to see what he was up to, but after more than twenty days, Xiao Qiliang had only spent his days playing chess and drinking with her. She had initially thought he intended to use affection to ensnare her, but he hadn't shown any of that in the past few days.
It seems she needs to take the initiative. If this is indeed Emperor Taizu, she will act decisively and kill him directly.
After chopping it up, she ran away. Even if Shen Jinchen wanted to find her later, she could just take the jade ring with her and hide for at least a month. Once he was about to find her, she would run around everywhere, and he wouldn't be able to catch her and bring her back to marry him.
After thinking it all through, she left Qingshan Academy that very day and went to find Zhu Yanniang. She asked for a bottle of particularly potent sleeping potion, intending to use it to knock Xiao Qiliang unconscious that very night. She was determined to find out what was going on that night.
...
At midnight, Cen Xi lit a sleeping potion outside the door and then sneaked into Xiao Qiliang's courtyard to pull down Xiao Qiliang's pants to see if he had a birthmark on his left thigh.
But when the man's pants were pulled down, Cen Xi was extremely disappointed. He had a birthmark on his left thigh, but it was obviously fake and had been deliberately placed there.
This proves that he was not Emperor Taizu, but he was definitely related to Emperor Taizu and should be his subordinate.
After playing for so long, it's still a fake. Cen Xi sighed repeatedly after returning to her room.
