Chapter 120 Tell Her What She Wish
Inside Wanbao Building.
Ji Yan was sitting in front of the window playing chess with Jing Ye. Jing Ye played white and he played black. Although he had the upper hand, he was still defeated by Jing Ye. After Jing Ye captured a few pieces, he gritted his teeth and threw the black chess pieces in his hand onto the chessboard, shouting, "I'm not going to play any more. It's been several years since I played the first game with you. You just won't let me play a single game. It's so boring!"
Jing Ye calmly put away the chess pieces and said, "You blame your opponent for your own lack of improvement. No wonder your chess skills have been so bad over the years."
Ji Yan rolled his eyes silently and said, "You are free tonight, why don't you go and chat with the beauty, or take her for a ride?"
He thought to himself that the two of them must have been fighting again, so they came to him to kill his chess pieces to vent their anger.
What a bad luck, why is it always him?
Jing Ye said nothing, but just quietly cleaned up the unfinished chess game on the board.
Seeing his frustrated look, Ji Yan suddenly became interested. He stared at him for a long while and suddenly asked, "Why do you wear this mask all day? There are no outsiders here, and I know what you look like. Why do you have to hide it like this?"
Jing Ye was not angry, he just said calmly: "I'm used to it, you have a mirror here, you can't take it off."
Ji Yan sighed when he heard this.
Jing Ye never looked in the mirror in these years. Whenever there was a mirror, he would wear a mask tightly.
"Why do you have to do this?" He glanced at Jing Ye and said, "This face is not ugly. Why, are you afraid of scaring your little Princess Jiang?"
"If you feel uncomfortable without moving your tongue," Jing Ye's aura became a little colder, "I don't mind pulling it out for you."
"Don't," Ji Yan opened the fan to cover the lower half of his face, and said vigilantly: "I still have to rely on this tongue to do business. If I don't do business, who will help you lay eyeliner?"
"Then let it stay there quietly." Jing Ye collected the last chess piece, stood up and said, "Do you have any wine?"
Ji Yan chuckled in his heart, it seemed that he really had some quarrel with someone, so he came to his place to get drunk?
He waved his fan and said generously, "Of course, as long as you want to drink, I have all the best wine here."
After saying this, he opened the door and was about to call the servant to get some wine, but he was startled by someone who was about to knock on the door.
"Shunzi," he said in surprise, "what are you doing? You're walking so quietly that it's scary!"
The servant called "Shun Zi" smiled awkwardly, lowered his eyebrows and said: "Master, someone wants to see you."
"Looking for me in the middle of the night?" Ji Yan glanced at Jing Ye thoughtfully, then turned back to Shun Zi and asked, "Can you recognize who it is?"
"It's a gentleman. He looks familiar." Shunzi thought for a moment and said, "Is he the guard who came here with the master's friend?"
"Friend?" Ji Yan understood most of it and deliberately asked loudly, "Which friend?"
"That Miss Jiang San has come to look for you several times before," Shunzi replied.
"It's her—" Ji Yan turned his head slightly to look at Jing Ye who was frozen in place, and said exaggeratedly: "Since she is Miss Jiang San's person, then I must go and meet her—"
"If you want to see me, go see me yourself." Jing Ye said coldly, "It's late at night, don't let anyone disturb me."
Ji Yan rolled his eyes and said, "I know, they're not looking for you, they're looking for me, okay?"
He walked out of the house, and just after he took a few steps, he heard the door being slammed shut with a bang.
Ji Yan was speechless. Are these two people sick? Why can't they talk to each other behind closed doors? They have to use him as a mouthpiece every time, especially Jing Ye, who even has to use his things to ruin them.
This is really outrageous. Ji Yan shook his head angrily and followed Shunzi downstairs.
Wanbao Tower was closed to visitors at this time, and there were only a few of Ji Yan's trusted aides serving him in the building, so Ji Yan went straight to meet Xu Chong in the hall on the first floor.
When Xu Chong saw Ji Yan come out and introduce himself, he handed the package directly to him and repeated everything Jiang Xue had told him.
Ji Yan smiled and said, "But the owner of this dress has already fallen asleep—"
After hearing this, Xu Chong continued the second half of Jiang Xue's sentence, and finally took out the silver hairpin and wanted to hand it to Ji Yan.
After listening to what Xu Chong said, Ji Yan looked at the hairpin as if he was looking at a red-hot iron. He stepped back and shouted, "You, you, you, take it first!"
He walked back and forth in the hall several times waving his fan in annoyance, until Xu Chong was stunned. Suddenly, he put away the fan and smashed it in his palm, saying in a deep voice: "Come with me."
If Jing Ye heard this, wouldn't he eat him alive? He didn't want to be the scapegoat.
Xu Chong didn't understand, but according to Jiang Xue's instructions, after taking a look around the Wanbao Building and confirming that it was basically safe, he still followed Ji Yan upstairs.
Ji Yan pushed open the door and saw Jing Ye sitting with his back to the door, looking out the window.
He whispered tentatively, "Someone has something to bring you..."
Jing Ye did not turn around, but just asked, "What's the matter?"
Ji Yan gave Xu Chong a look, and Xu Chong looked puzzled, but he had no choice but to repeat what he had just said.
Jing Ye turned around, his expression beneath the mask could not be seen, but his aura became colder. He said coldly, "Did she say that? Then throw the things away and you can leave."
Before Xu Chong could reply, Ji Yan interrupted him.
"Brother, don't stand at the door. You must be tired after running in such a dark and dewy environment. Come, have some tea."
Ji Yan pulled Xu Chong into the house, turned around and poured a cup of tea in front of him, and said leisurely as if chatting: "I am also a friend of your master. I miss you a lot after not seeing you for a few days. By the way, your princess and her husband are newly married. How are you two doing recently?"
Xu Chong said cautiously, "Of course the couple is in harmony. Why is the host asking about this?"
"Really?" Ji Yan exaggeratedly made a surprised expression and said, "Why do I hear rumors that the two of them are not on good terms, and the prince consort is either in court or in the government office all day long, and rarely sees the princess?"
Xu Chong looked at Ji Yan in confusion. He really didn’t understand, are there men in the world who love to gossip so much?
Although Jiang Xue and Gu Lintan did not have a good relationship, he was Jiang Xue's subordinate after all, and he had to clarify these false rumors for Jiang Xue. So Xu Chong said calmly: "Nonsense, the host should not believe it. When I left the mansion, the prince consort came out of His Highness's room."
"Oh? Really--" Ji Yan said exaggeratedly, glancing at Jing Ye constantly and counting to three silently in his heart.
three.
two.
one.
"Put your things down and go back to tell Jiang Xue that it's her wish."
Jing Ye spoke, his voice filled with great anger.
Xu Chong frowned, thinking that this person was very rude. However, due to his status, he could not have any disputes with others in public, so he put away the package and hairpin without saying a word and turned to leave Wanbao Tower.
After Xu Chong left, Ji Yan wanted to say something else, but he saw Jing Ye stood up angrily, picked up the hairpin from the table and put it into his sleeve, then waved his hand to open the door and walked out.
Finally, he said to Ji Yan coldly: "Be careful with your tongue."
Ji Yan smiled awkwardly, and after confirming that Jing Ye had left, he rolled his eyes and said:
"Neuropathy."
