There is still time to pull Chu Jinghuai away.
Hua Ying slowly walked up to Chu Jinghuai and said softly, "Sir, would you please do me the honor of spending the night with me?"
Chu Jinghuai's eyes were cold and he was about to speak, but Chen Jingxi beat him to the punch.
Chen Jingxi smiled softly, with a hint of pouting in her tone: "Miss Huaying, I'm afraid you misunderstood. My husband has already married, so it's really inconvenient for me to spend the night with you."
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned, and then burst into laughter.
Hua Ying wasn't annoyed, instead she smiled even more charmingly and said, "Oh? So you've already married? Then I'm curious, is he afraid of his wife? Or is his wife a bitch?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter again, and the laughter was mixed with teasing and jokes towards Chu Jinghuai.
Chu Jinghuai raised his lips and smiled, looking quite regretful.
Chen Jingxi said again, "Miss Huaying, why do you have to make fun of my husband like that? He's not afraid of his wife, he just respects her. Besides, his wife is not some scoundrel; she's gentle, virtuous, and understanding."
Upon hearing this, Hua Ying's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement. "Oh? If that's the case, then I'm even more curious. May I ask this young master, if your virtuous wife is truly gentle, virtuous, and considerate, then she wouldn't mind knowing you're spending the night with me tonight, right? I've heard that the young masters of Daxia are all blessed with virtuous wives and beautiful concubines, surrounded by them and enjoying the happiness of having all the women in the house."
Chen Jingxi's eyes turned cold, and just as she was about to speak, Hua Ying changed the subject: "I think this girl is your beautiful concubine, right? Since your husband is so interested in me, why don't you let me accompany him for a night? What do you think?"
As soon as this was said, everyone started to boo. They couldn't get the courtesan anyway, so why not watch a play? This young man already had a virtuous wife at home and a beautiful concubine, and now he abandoned his wife and concubine to meet the courtesan at night. What a lively scene.
However, Chen Jingxi was not moved at all. She smiled faintly and said, "Miss Huaying, you are joking. My husband is just admiring your dancing and has no other intentions. Please respect yourself."
Hua Ying smiled slightly and pointed her slender hand at Chu Jinghuai: "Sir, your concubine is so boring. I just wanted to accompany you for one night and not compete with her for your favor, but she actually told me to respect myself."
Chu Jinghuai pushed Hua Ying away, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Miss Hua Ying, you have misunderstood. She is not my concubine, but my wife."
Hua Ying steadied herself, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. No man had ever refused her. She lightly covered her red lips and then regained her charming smile.
"So she's the young master's wife. Hua Ying is disrespectful. However, I've heard that women in Daxia are all generous and virtuous. I think Madam won't mind you spending a night with Hua Ying."
Chen Jingxi held back her anger. Why was this person like a dog-skin plaster, clinging to her and refusing to leave? Hadn't she clearly rejected him many times? Or was it that she didn't understand what she was saying?
There were people crowded around here, making it difficult to even move, let alone pull Chu Jinghuai away. I don't know what's wrong with this damn man. He won't even refuse. Does he really want to sleep with the top courtesan for one night?
If he really dared to do this, she would not only have to guard against being assassinated, but also have to be on guard against the possibility that this person was sick.
Chu Jinghuai found it quite amusing to watch her getting angry, but he also knew that he couldn't stop playing with her because he had experienced her verbal skills before.
Just as he was about to refuse, a voice rang out, "Miss Hua Ying, why do you have to embarrass the couple? How about I spend a night with you, Miss Hua Ying?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man wearing a silver mask. Although the man was dressed simply, the aura he exuded made people know that he was an extraordinary person.
Hua Ying looked at the masked man. Although she was a little surprised, she was more curious. She slowly walked over and whispered in his ear, "Sir, do you have a wife?"
The masked man then smiled faintly: "There's no need to talk about family matters here. Miss Huaying, I just want to spend the night with you, how about that?"
Hua Ying looked at the masked man's deep eyes, and an inexplicable impulse surged in her heart. She nodded and said, "Hua Ying will wait for you tonight, sir." After that, she turned around and returned to the stage.
At this time, the old procuress, her face covered in rouge and powder, said, "Tonight our courtesan belongs to this gentleman."
When everyone heard the "whoosh" sound, some of them left in disappointment.
The masked man walked over and said with a faint smile, "Sir, Madam, nice to meet you."
Chen Jingxi smiled and said, "Nice to meet you. The beautiful lady is waiting for you. We won't disturb you any more. Goodbye."
The masked man hurriedly said, "Madam, wait a minute. If you know what's best for you, it's fate. I want to make friends with you."
Hearing this, Chu Jinghuai frowned slightly, obviously displeased with this sudden request. He pulled Chen Jingxi behind him and looked at the masked man coldly.
Chen Jingxi also looked up and down at the masked man, her eyes revealing vigilance and confusion. She felt a dangerous aura emanating from this man, which made her want to keep her distance.
So she politely declined the masked man's request.
"Thank you for your kindness, but we don't need new friends."
The masked man didn't seem to expect Chen Jingxi to reject him so directly, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
But he quickly regained his composure, a playful smile playing on his lips, "If it weren't for my help just now, your husband would have become the lover of the courtesan."
Chen Jingxi's tone was firm and cold. "Although you helped us with what happened just now, we can also solve it ourselves. Besides, you have won the favor of Miss Hua Ying, which is also a good thing for you."
"Madam, do you really not want to make friends with me?" the masked man asked, a hint of provocation in his voice. "Don't you say in Daxia that one more friend means one less enemy?"
Chen Jingxi smiled slightly and looked directly at the masked man without fear: "No, we don't have many friends, but we have many enemies. One more person like you won't be a problem."
After saying that, he took Chu Jinghuai's hand and was about to leave.
The masked man said, "Madam, we will meet again. Maybe next time you will want to be friends with me."
Chen Jingxi sneered, turned around and said, "Don't worry, I never make friends with people who don't show their true face."
The masked man pondered for a moment and then said, "Although I wear a mask, my words and my heart are true. I'm not like you Daxia men who are hypocritical and say sweet things but have treacherous hearts."
"Don't worry, sir. I'm not interested in other men who are double-faced and sweet-mouthed."
Having said that, Chen Jingxi glanced at Chu Jinghuai and said, "As for what kind of person my husband is, I already know it very well."
