Lin Xiuyan bit her lip lightly as she said this: "When we got married, he came to me, and I rejected him clearly and decisively."
“At that time, I thought I would cut ties with him, and after a while he would forget me, then marry a wife and live a peaceful life.”
She saw that Ye Junfei was still forging iron and ignored her.
She sighed softly and said, "I admit that I have some prejudice against you because of the dream."
"What happened just now was quite a shock to me, and I couldn't control my emotions."
"I made a rash decision, and I sincerely apologize to you here!"
She finished speaking and bowed deeply to him.
Ye Junfei sneered and threw the hammer aside. The hammer hit the iron block with a series of cracking sounds.
He walked up to Lin Xiuyan, reached out and pinched her chin, saying, "What are you trying to say by telling me all this?"
Lin Xiuyan didn't like his attitude. Since she was in the wrong today, she didn't brush his hand away.
She took a deep breath and looked at him apologetically, saying, "I'm here to apologize to you."
“I didn’t know you had made arrangements beforehand… You saved Xu Qianting, and I want to thank you.”
Ye Junfei sneered: "Lin Xiuyan, how laughable that you doubt me because of another man, and then come to thank me because of another man!"
After he finished speaking, he let go of her hand and walked away.
Her misunderstanding of him certainly angered him, but her apology at this moment only made him angrier.
He knew that in her heart, Xu Qianting was far more important than him.
Her apology at that moment made him feel utterly incompetent.
During this time, he wanted nothing less than to give her his heart, and to win a smile from her, he didn't hesitate to save his rival in love.
He felt incredibly ridiculous for becoming like this over a woman!
Lin Xiuyan hurriedly chased after him, grabbing his arm and saying, "I know I was wrong today. I was too impulsive and spoke without thinking!"
“I shouldn’t have doubted you because of Princess Anle’s words. I should have trusted you a little.”
She smiled slightly at him, tugged at his arm and shook it, and asked, "What do I have to do to make you calm down?"
Ye Junfei stopped and looked at her coldly, saying, "You're coming here to coax me now because you genuinely think you're wrong, or is there some other reason?"
Lin Xiuyan was stunned for a moment.
Ye Junfei chuckled lightly: "Are you afraid that you've offended Princess Anle and me now, and that I'll cause trouble for your family?"
Lin Xiuyan was stunned again. Ye Junfei pulled her hand off his arm and smiled gently: "It seems I guessed right."
"Don't worry, I like your parents very much and won't make things difficult for them."
He finished speaking and walked away. This time, Lin Xiuyan did not chase after him.
She came to him simply to apologize.
But after he said those words, she realized that his statement was also true.
After all, she initially married him in order to use his power to protect Ling Yunzhi and Qu Shuangyue.
She felt a little wronged.
But just as she felt these grievances, she remembered the misunderstanding she had caused him today, which probably made him feel even more aggrieved.
They fundamentally lacked trust in each other.
She sighed deeply, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.
When sadness welled up in her heart, she belatedly realized one thing: she might have already fallen for him.
This realization surprised her and made her somewhat anxious.
Because she knew that liking him was actually a very dangerous thing.
Even so, she still fell for him.
She reached up and pressed her temples, her feelings a complex mix.
She planned to have a good talk with Ye Junfei after nightfall, but he didn't come to her room that night.
This was one of the very few times he hadn't slept in the same bed with her since they met.
He used to sneak into her bed every day, making it impossible for her to guard against him. Now that he's gone, she's finding it a little hard to adjust.
Lin Xiuyan tossed and turned in bed for a long time before finally falling asleep.
After Princess Anle left through the back door, she did not go far. She was escorted by her guards and watched the fire from a distance.
Today's events were completely unexpected, and he was in a very bad mood.
He met Lin Xiuyan twice, and both times she gave him a huge "surprise".
He felt a little better when he heard Xu Shoubei's miserable cries. These fools he had been toying with!
His happiness didn't last three breaths before a guard rushed over and said, "Princess, Xu Qianting has been rescued."
Princess Anle's expression changed slightly: "Who rescued her?"
The guard replied, "I haven't found out yet, but the person who rescued Xu Qianting is no ordinary person, and all the people escorting him were killed."
Because everyone else had been killed, that's why they received the news so late.
If it weren't for some passersby who saw the corpse on the ground and were so frightened that they reported it to the police, they probably still wouldn't know about this incident.
Princess Anle originally thought that by creating a fake corpse to impersonate Xu Qianting, he would be the ultimate victor in today's events.
But now that Xu Qianting has been rescued, it means that he has lost this time.
They were utterly defeated!
Princess Anle angrily retorted, "Are you all useless?"
The guard who came to deliver the news immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to get up.
Eunuch Yu pleaded for the guards: "Your Highness, all the guards escorting the guards were killed. The people who came must have been prepared. This cannot be entirely blamed on their incompetence."
Princess Anle closed her eyes slightly, and he immediately said, "Investigate immediately and find out who saved Xu Qianting!"
The guard obeyed and left.
An hour later, the guard returned: "Princess, the person who saved Xu Qianting should be the heir of the Prince of Pingnan."
Princess Anle immediately came to her senses upon hearing this.
He cursed, "He didn't come here last night to deliver the defense map of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion; he clearly came to rescue Xu Qianting!"
When Ye Junfei was in the capital, he was seen by outsiders as a complete good-for-nothing.
Princess Anle witnessed Ye Junfei's martial prowess yesterday, but she didn't have a good understanding of his scheming nature.
This time, Ye Junfei taught him a lesson.
Princess Anle remembered something else: "Bring me the defense map of the Prince of Pingnan's residence!"
Grandpa Yu immediately took the blueprints and handed them to him.
He opened it and saw that it was no longer a defense map, but a erotic picture that made him blush!
He glanced at it only once before throwing the blueprint on the ground, angrily shouting, "Ye Junfei, you've gone too far!"
Grandpa Fish, puzzled, picked it up and glanced at it, his eyes widening in disbelief. (cascoo.net)
He hurriedly closed the blueprints, knelt on the ground, and said, "Your Highness, spare my life!"
"These blueprints have always been under my care, and I have not seen anyone tamper with them!"
