Chapter 383 Compromise

Even though Zhao Zemo was very angry, Pei Xuanyi was not in a hurry. He just sat there and looked at Zhao Zemo. Although he was still young, the pressure he exerted made Zhao Zemo change his face.

This young grandson of the emperor sat in front of Zhao Zemo with a little cunning on his face.

He was playing with an exquisite jade cup in his hand, as if he didn't care about Zhao Zemo's anger, let alone Zhao Zemo's threat to him.

"Mr. Zhao, these four beauties are all outstanding in the capital. Whether it is appearance or talent, they are all first-class."

Pei Xuanyi spoke slowly, with a trace of unquestionable majesty in his voice.

His meaning has been expressed very clearly. If Zhao Zemo is aware of the current situation and accepts these four beauties, then Zhao Zemo can still maintain superficial harmony with him.

If Zhao Zemo insists on having Wen Yanya, he is going against him.

Zhao Zemo gritted his teeth, and the anger in his heart became stronger, but he had to endure it.

Wen Yanya is indeed the type he likes, and Zhao Zemo is rarely so attracted to a woman, whether it is temperament or appearance.

However, is Wen Yanya really that important to her, important enough to go against Pei Xuanyi?

When it was just the Qin family, Zhao Zemo could still resist, and he couldn't save his own face.

But with Pei Xuanyi, Zhao Zemo didn't dare to go on.

Besides, this time there was also the beauty of the fourth brother, and Pei Xuanyi didn't mean to embarrass him, but also gave him a step...

Zhao Zemo weighed it, Qin Qixuan had Pei Xuanyi's help, he couldn't really force Wen Yanya to stay, it's better to go with the flow, do Pei Xuanyi a favor, and get four beauties.

Zhao Zemo thought a lot in his heart, and finally made a decision.

He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calm.

"Since His Royal Highness the Grandson is so obsessed with that beauty, I can't keep this beauty in my hands. But..."

Zhao Zemo kept the question in suspense, and Qin Qixuan's expression flickered as he paused.

Not only Qin Qixuan's expression was strange, but even Zhao Shuoer looked at Zhao Zemo.

She thought things would turn around, but Zhao Zemo did not change his mind, but just made a request.

"I want to take a look at the four beauties first, and then make a choice after seeing their talents."

Pei Xuanyi smiled slightly, as if everything was under his control. He winked at the guards, who immediately understood and stepped aside to prepare.

After a while, the four beauties took turns to come forward and show their talents. Whether they sang or danced, or wrote poems or painted, all of them were breathtaking.

Zhao Zemo looked at them, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction.

Originally, Zhao Zemo was very disappointed to hand over Wen Yanya, but now it seems that exchanging these beauties for Wen Yanya is not a loss-making deal.

Although none of them are to his liking, he can still have fun for a while.

Zhao Zemo's previous dissatisfaction was reduced a lot. Although Pei Xuanyi stood on the side of the Qin family, he didn't really want to tear his face with him. At least now, Zhao Zemo was relatively satisfied with the compensation given by Pei Xuanyi.

However, he did not notice that while he was satisfied, Zhao Shuoer's eyes became complicated.

Although Zhao Shuo'er resented Zhao Zemo in her heart, how could she bow her head so quickly, but she also knew in her heart that she could not offend the royal family no matter what. Since Pei Xuanyi had made his attitude clear, no matter how much Zhao Zemo doted on her, he would not let her do whatever she wanted.

It seems that this matter still depends on her.

Zhao Shuo'er lowered her eyelids and looked at Qin Qixuan who was standing aside.

When she saw the joy on Qin Qixuan's face, she knew that he didn't have her in his heart at all.

Qin Qixuan really only had Wen Yanya in his heart at this moment, and he didn't notice Zhao Shuo'er's complicated look at all. In his eyes, Wen Yanya was about to get rid of Zhao Zemo's entanglement and return to freedom. This was what he cared about most.

Zhao Shuoer felt mixed emotions when she saw Qin Qixuan like this. She took a deep breath, stood up, and walked to Qin Qixuan's side.

"It seems that the result is already determined, Brother Qixuan, you win."

Zhao Shuoer's tone seemed very nonchalant, as if she had let it go.

"In this case, today is the auspicious day when you won the bet. Sister wants to toast you a glass of wine and congratulate you and Wen Yanya in advance for being able to get married. You won't refuse this glass of wine, will you?"

Zhao Shuoer's tone sounded calm, and faintly revealed a bit of regret. She raised the wine glass in her hand and gestured to Qin Qixuan.

Although Qin Qixuan was concerned about Wen Yanya, he didn't want to offend Zhao Shuoer. He took the wine glass and smiled.

"Miss Zhao, don't forget what you promised before."

After saying that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. Seeing this, Zhao Shuoer also raised his glass and drank.

When the wine entered his mouth, it tasted a bit bitter, and Zhao Shuoer frowned.

Qin Qixuan saw that the time was almost up, so he prepared to get up and look for Wen Yanya. But Zhao Shuoer didn't seem to let him go. After drinking, he told the maid to pour more wine for Qin Qixuan.

Qin Qixuan didn't expect that the toast Zhao Shuoer asked him to drink was not enough, and he wanted another drink, so he hesitated.

Zhao Shuoer seemed to notice his hesitation and just said with some sadness.

"Brother Qixuan, I know you like Miss Wen, but I really can't give in so quickly. I don't ask for anything else. I just ask that you can drink three glasses of wine with me to make me feel better."

Qin Qixuan looked at the determination and affection in Zhao Shuoer's eyes, and couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. Zhao Shuoer did not hurt him, and even helped him... Although he was grateful for Zhao Shuoer's affection, he felt more helpless and guilty.

She stood up, walked to Qin Qixuan, and handed the wine glass in her hand to him again: "Brother Qixuan, this glass of wine is my blessing to you. No matter what happens in the future, I hope you can be happy."

He took the wine glass and drank it again.

After three rounds of drinking, Qin Qixuan left in a hurry. Zhao Shuoer stood there, watching his receding back, and his face gradually sank.

"Brother Qixuan, you forced me to do this."

After a while, Zhao Shuoer pretended to be weak again. She held the chair in front of her and asked the maid to help her find Zhao Zemo.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Zemo immediately stopped watching her dance and asked her how she was.

Zhao Shuoer just covered his forehead and shook his head.

"Don't worry, brother. I just feel a little uncomfortable. I'll be fine after going back to my room and sleeping for a while."

Qin Xixi looked at Zhao Shuoer's back as he left, and she had a very strange feeling in her heart.

However, there were so many delicious foods in front of her, Xixi had no time to think about anything else. With bright eyes, she was thinking about what she should eat first.
