Wu Dao was a man of action; after he finished speaking, he used his lightness skill to quickly leave.
Wu Ge: "..."
He used to think Wu Dao was stupid, but now he thinks this fool is actually quite clever, knowing to torment Zhou Chenyang at this time to win the prince's favor.
But he had no one to abuse him; he had a lot of things to deal with.
Therefore, he is the most pitiful one!
Ye Junfei overheard their entire conversation from a short distance away, but his mood wasn't as bad as they thought.
He wasn't particularly angry about the emperor's bestowal of a marriage, because it was something he had expected.
These power-wielding individuals are high above, controlling the lifelong happiness of others.
They thought everyone was under their control, but little did they know that Ye Junfei had never been under their control.
Their schemes, if used properly, could even become an asset to Ye Junfei:
After all, he left the Prince of Pingnan's mansion when he was young. He held the position of heir, and all of his brothers wanted to take his place.
He had no real power base in the Prince of Pingnan's mansion and was in a completely weak position.
Ye Junfei knew exactly how to utilize the power of the imperial court.
However, Lin Xiuyan's appearance made him more wary of this scheme.
When Lin Xiuyan woke up in the morning, she saw that the Lin residence was bustling with activity.
She knew this was preparation for Jiang Xinrou's marriage to Zhou Chenyang the next day.
She also knew that with Jiang Xinrou's greed, she would never be satisfied with marrying Zhou Chenyang with only her dowry, and she would definitely cause trouble in the next couple of days.
She was really looking forward to it.
She hummed a little tune as she went downstairs and saw Ye Junfei standing under a crabapple tree with one hand behind his back.
It was long past the crabapple blossom season, but she felt that the tree was now covered in blossoms, with fallen petals like shattered jade, beautiful and elegant.
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said good morning. Ye Junfei said gently, "I've prepared a little gift for you. Would you like to go see it?"
Lin Xiuyan didn't want to see the gift he had prepared, but she didn't dare to refuse. She just smiled and asked, "What did Master Ye prepare for me?"
Ye Junfei took her hand: "You'll find out when you come with me."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Is it really okay for him to hold her hand without her consent?
Just as she was about to shake off his hand, he looked at her.
Her expression froze for a moment, then she gave a dry laugh: "There are too many people here."
"It's alright," Ye Junfei said gently. "Your father and mother both want me to marry into your family. They would be very happy if they knew we were working together."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She couldn't refute his words.
Ye Junfei added, "Anyway, you'd rather marry a dog than me, and I'd rather marry a dog than you, so what are you worried about?"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She thought he was really vengeful!
Not only did they bring up her original statement, but they also added this sentence, which was just to disgust her.
She chuckled softly, "I never had anything to worry about, since I'm not going to lose out."
After she finished speaking, she squeezed his hand and gave him a bright smile.
Ye Junfei saw that her smile was so fake, only superficial and not sincere at all, unlike the genuine smile she gave to Xu Qianting and Fan Xilou.
He felt a bit annoyed, snorted coldly, shook off her hand, and strode forward.
Lin Xiuyan was taken aback at first, then she laughed:
A pervert is a pervert; if you go along with his wishes, he'll feel bored.
The more she resisted, the more excited he became.
She felt she had found a way to deal with him.
They arrived at their destination quickly. When Ye Junfei opened the door to the room and revealed the dark, heavy iron block inside, she was completely stunned.
She happily ran inside and touched it; it was icy cold to the touch, and it was indeed all iron.
She asked excitedly, "Where did it come from?"
Ye Junfei looked at her and said, "Aren't you just asking the obvious? Of course it's the house in the south of the city."
Lin Xiuyan knew where it was, of course; what she was actually asking was how he transported those iron blocks over.
But looking at his arrogant face and his twisted personality, she knew he wouldn't answer her question.
She said, "Great! With these iron blocks, I can forge all sorts of weapons to protect my family."
Ye Junfei walked to her side and said, "I've been thinking about it. Since you're going to forge weapons anyway, why don't you forge a lot at once?"
A bad feeling arose in Lin Xiuyan's heart, and she asked, "How much is a little more?"
Ye Junfei replied, "After I transport all the iron blocks from that house in the south of the city into the Lin residence, you can decide how much to forge."
Lin Xiuyan nearly knelt on the ground upon hearing this. She grabbed the iron block and asked, "What did you just say?"
Ye Junfei was very satisfied with her expression: "I said I would transport all the iron from that house to the Lin residence."
Lin Xiuyan: "!!!!!!!!!"
She only needs a moderate amount of iron; too much will only bring trouble.
Ye Junfei helped her up and said, "Your mental fortitude isn't very good. You're so happy about just a little bit of iron."
“From now on, there will be more surprises for you as you follow me. You need to strengthen your resilience.”
Lin Xiuyan quickly replied, "There's no need for that! I can't possibly stay by Young Master Ye's side forever."
Ye Junfei reached out and flicked her nose: "Are you playing the coy game with me again?"
"You keep making excuses to not help me find the Blood Jade Grass, isn't it because you want to stay by my side? I understand, you don't need to explain."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
He doesn't know anything!
She took a deep breath and said, "I'll have my father use all his power to get the Blood Jade Grass tomorrow, no, I'll have him do it today, no, I'll have him do it right now!"
She left as soon as she finished speaking. Ye Junfei didn't stop her. He picked up his fan and leisurely fanned himself. She would never find the Blood Jade Grass in her lifetime.
A moment later, she returned, leaning against the doorway, and asked, "Were you just teasing me?"
Ye Junfei said in a serious tone, "You noticed? Actually, I think teasing you is no fun, but playing with you is more interesting."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She gritted her teeth, put her hands on her hips, then quickly put them down, pointed at him, and turned to leave.
Ye Junfei called out from behind her, "Lin Xiuyan!"
Lin Xiuyan turned to look at him, and he said to her, "Your parents call you Yan'er, and Xu Qianting calls you Yanyan. I think we should also have a specific name for each other."
What would you like me to call you?
Lin Xiuyan forced a smile: "Whatever, call me whatever you want, whatever makes you happy."
As she finished speaking and was about to leave, Ye Junfei's lazy voice drifted over: "Wife."
Lin Xiuyan almost fell to the ground. Ye Junfei reached out to support her and looked up into her eyes: "What do you think of this title?"
Lin Xiuyan blurted out, "Oh no!"
"Oh." Ye Junfei smiled gently, "I think it's fine. Calling you that makes me happy."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
