Chapter 163 And I Will Not Abandon You
"For example, this jade pendant." He Yanchen took a look at the jade pendant he was wearing today. The quality was average and not as good as the one he gave to Yue Li.
"I can wear a different one every day, but his annual salary isn't enough to buy one."
Yueli's eyelashes fluttered, and she clenched her fingertips to resist the temptation.
He Yanchen didn't care about not getting a response. He raised his hand and lifted Yueli's collar: "Why don't you wear the clothes I gave you last time?"
"That is a piece of cloud-mist yarn worth a thousand gold coins. When worn, it feels as light and soft as swirling clouds and mist. Just one piece of clothing requires more than ten embroiderers to work together."
Yueli's eyes widened.
I knew he was rich, but I didn't expect him to be so rich.
"Oh, and the breakfast you had last time, those pastries were all made by the royal chef. Although I don't come to this manor often, I still need a few good chefs."
Yueli took a deep breath.
She really can't resist anymore!
He Yanchen saw the expression on her pale face changing from time to time. He bent down and looked her in the eyes: "Xiao Yueli, follow me and you can enjoy these every day."
Yue Li couldn't stand his aggressive gaze and tried to avoid him hurriedly, but He Yanchen didn't give her a chance. He pinched her face with one hand and forced her to look at him.
"Is there anything difficult about this decision?"
He Yanchen didn't think that Xiao Mingcheng could compare to him in any way.
"But..." Yueli almost drowned in his gaze. She quickly closed her eyes and said loudly, "But this is immoral!"
Yue Li still had some rationality after all. She had no idea the identity of the man in front of her. Although he was rich, it didn't mean that his family was simpler than Xiao Mingcheng's.
He looked to be in his twenties. A man of his status must have a wife at home at this age.
Yueli felt that he just wanted to play with her and kick her away when he got tired of her.
He was happy, but what should she do?
After much thought, she still felt that Xiao Mingcheng was easier to control.
Even if Xiao Mingcheng got married, they might have to go back to Jiangning after the New Year, away from the wife of Marquis Shou'an. Xiao Mingcheng would still stand on his side.
Even if you feel wronged, it will only last for one or two months.
Yue Li thought for a moment, then opened her eyes and asked, "Young Master, you didn't even tell me your identity. How can I know if you're reliable?"
"And...does the young master have a wife?"
He Yanchen's face stiffened for a moment.
When Yueli saw this, she said, how could such a man not be married? Maybe he has a lot of concubines at home, and that's why he came up to tease her when he saw her.
Yue Li deliberately asked, "Besides your wife, does your family have any concubines?"
He Yanchen: “…”
Yue Li immediately pushed him away, and the ripples in her heart gradually subsided.
She said how could there be such a thing as a pie falling from the sky, this man was indeed a playboy, deliberately trying to play with her!
He Yanchen stood up straight and avoided answering: "It's getting late, let's rest first."
After he left, Yueli snorted at his back.
fraud!
All the men in Beijing are liars!
Chu Yi saw the man walking out with an unexpected look on his face, and glanced at the closed door with a complicated look.
It seems that Your Majesty did not succeed.
Eunuch Ji can rest assured.

The next day, Yueli hid in the house and didn't want to go out.
She rejected that young man last night, but she still stayed in his farm and refused to leave. It was so embarrassing.
Yueli lay on the bed in a depressed mood. It was almost noon, but Xiao Mingcheng still hadn't come to see her.
He clearly came in the middle of the night last time.
Is it really like what Xiao Mingyue said, that he no longer cares about me after he gets married?
Yueli buried her head in the pillow.
Of course, she didn't know that everyone who went to report the news in the manor was stopped by He Yanchen, so Xiao Mingcheng has not received any news until now.
In the afternoon, someone knocked on the door.
Yueli immediately sat up and looked outside vigilantly.
"It's me."
The man's voice sounded, with his usual casual tone.
Yueli put on her embroidered shoes and slowly walked over to him. She asked him through the door, "Sir, is there anything I can do for you?"
He Yanchen sneered: "You may have forgotten that this is my place."
"Open the door."
Yueli bit her lip and reluctantly opened the door.
He Yanchen was wearing a dark blue brocade robe today, a jade crown on his head, and he had an upright posture and looked like a handsome man.
Yueli only took a glance and lowered her head: "I'll pack up and leave right away..."
The man chuckled, bent down and lifted her face: "Do you think I want to drive you away?"
Yueli blinked. If he didn't chase her away, why would he keep her here?
He Yanchen looked at her with interest and said that she was a little money-grubber. But even after he said that last night, she was still able to keep her sanity and even asked him if he had a wife or concubine at home.
Being asked this question so unexpectedly by her, He Yanchen felt a little embarrassed for the first time.
It's not that he was unwilling to tell Yue Li his identity. If she nodded, he would naturally bring her back to the palace.
He just thought it was more fun this way.
Like having an affair.
"I'm not that stingy. You can stay here as long as you want. I won't chase you away."
"Really?" Yueli looked at him eagerly.
"Of course, but come with me now." He Yanchen stood with his hands behind his back. "The capital is very lively tonight. Do you want to go out and play?"
Yue Li's eyes suddenly lit up. She had wanted to visit the capital for a long time, but Xiao Mingcheng refused to take her.
The little girl nodded obediently, and He Yanchen, in a good mood, asked someone to prepare the carriage.
The one following the two today was Ji Ming. Before Yue Li got on the carriage, she felt that he was staring at her with a strange look in his eyes.
This carriage was narrower than the last one. Yue Li was about to kneel down on the blanket when He Yanchen patted the seat next to her and said, "Why are you standing there? Come sit here."
Yueli glanced at the small couch. If she sat on it, the two of them would be sitting next to each other.
"I...I'll just sit like this..."
He Yanchen didn't force her. He pushed the fruit plate on the table in front of her and said, "Eat it. You've been hungry all day in the house and you didn't even know to come out."
Yueli blushed at what he said, lowered her head and took a grape to eat.
"Xiao Yueli."
"Hmm?" Yue Li raised her head subconsciously when she heard him calling her. She looked at him with puffed cheeks, not yet swallowing the fruit in her mouth.
Why does he always call himself that?
It's so corny.
"I do have a wife and concubines."
Yueli was caught off guard by his sudden confession, and the grape got stuck in her throat. She quickly covered her mouth and started coughing.
He Yanchen raised his hand to pat her back, his gesture intimate: "I don't want to lie to you."
"But if you stay with me, no one will dare to bully you anymore."
"Besides, I will not abandon you. I will not leave you alone on the farm."
