Chapter 421 Yan Qi
But there's no need to rush when making tea.
The woman glanced at her with a hint of disdain, as if she were looking at an ignorant illiterate.
Shen Pianpian: ...
Oh, you're so proud of making tea?
The girl raised her eyebrows and was about to say something when Cheng Zhiyuan interrupted her expressionlessly.
"Go down."
The woman's face froze, and she looked at the man in disbelief.
However, Cheng Zhiyuan didn't look at her, and just repeated it lightly.
"Go down."
The voice was not harsh or cold, but it had an undeniable majesty that could not be disobeyed.
The woman bit her lip and had to stand up and leave.
Shen Pianxian looked at her leaving back, a little surprised,
"Why do I feel like the etiquette and facilities here are so ancient? This young lady is like the maids in those palace dramas."
Cheng Zhiyuan took the semi-finished tea away, poured only boiled water into the teacup and handed it to Shen Pianxian, saying lightly,
"It's just a boring and evil thing."
As soon as the words fell, a low, hoarse, yet inexplicably cold voice came from outside the pavilion.
"I haven't seen you for a while, and Young Master Cheng is slandering me behind my back again."
The white veil was lifted, and a man in a green gown walked in gracefully.
He had buttons tied diagonally across his chest, and his long gown was embroidered with a dragon totem, with the dragon's head just rising from his shoulders.
The man's modern short black hair paired with ancient clothing looks inexplicably harmonious. His gentle and smiling face under the short hair makes people think of the four words "modest young man" at first glance.
He even had a pipe in his hand.
Shen Pianpian slightly widened her eyes and looked at him with some curiosity.
The man turned around and met her gaze, smiled slightly, and bowed.
"Miss, nice to meet you. I'm Yan Qi."
Shen Pianpian: “Uh…”
What should I do? Should I bow and say, "Hello, sir, my name is Chen Pianxian"?
Please, this isn't a real time travel! Can you please stop playing around like this?
Miss Shen was a little overwhelmed and didn't know how to answer.
Cheng Zhiyuan glanced at the man coldly.
"What a coincidence! I chose to come when you were not around." He then said to Shen Pianpian,
"Don't bother with him."
Yan Qi laughed and said
"It's not a coincidence, it's just a coincidence. I just came back and you came. Mr. Cheng, I've said it before, our fate is unbreakable."
Miss Shen shuddered involuntarily upon hearing this, and then looked back and forth between the two for a long time before asking,
"Are you friends?"
The air was subtly still for a moment, and then she saw the man named Yan Qi turned around and looked at her.
There was an indescribable, subtle coldness and smile in that look.
"No, Mr. Cheng and I can only be called partners at best."
Shen Pianpian shuddered slightly under this gaze, and sat back a little with a chill on his back.
However, the next moment this inexplicable atmosphere dissipated.
Cheng Zhiyuan said indifferently,
"Since you are here, you will be the one to cook today's dishes."
The man said calmly,
"Don't want spicy food, something milder. It will be served in thirty minutes."
Yan Qi then stood up, turning the long pipe in his hand, and replied with an elegant smile and a drawn-out voice,
"Okay, I'll follow your orders, Master."
The man retreated.
Through the undulating white gauze, one can see his elegant back, which completely blends into the scenery.
Shen Pianxian turned back in confusion and asked,
"Is he the cook here?"
"part time."
"What is the main business?"
After a moment of silence, Cheng Zhiyuan's cold and elegant voice sounded,
"Intelligence, and killing people."
Shen Pianpian: ...
