Ji Yunhua paused for a moment before replying, "He went drinking and carousing with Ouyang Xiuqi."
"Then what?"
Xiao Qingyin pressed for an answer.
Ji Yunhua's eyes darted around.
Before she could come up with a reason, Xiao Qingyin sneered, "Did you lose control after drinking?"
Ji Yunhua's face stiffened.
Xiao Qingyin crossed her arms: "When did you two hit it off?"
"No."
Ji Yunhua said without blinking.
"We didn't click."
Xiao Qingyin: "???"
"You're having a fling with someone you don't even like?"
Ji Yunhua sighed, “It’s all the waiter’s fault. He brought us the wrong wine. The medicine was too strong, and we all got drunk.”
Xiao Qingyin remained silent.
"I told you to stay away from places of ill repute, but you didn't listen. Now you've learned your lesson."
Ji Yunhua hung her head, looking like a quail.
Xiao Qingyin sighed.
"What do you plan to do now?"
Ji Yunhua was completely dumbfounded.
"What do you mean, what to do?"
Haven't you considered being with him?
Xiao Qingyin asked.
Ji Yunhua shook his head.
"No."
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
Damn it, such a perfectly good cabbage has been eaten by a pig, and the cabbage doesn't even care. It's infuriating!
What is Ouyang Xiuqi's attitude?
“He wasn’t awake when I left,” Ji Yunhua replied. “He probably didn’t know I was a woman.”
Xiao Qingyin: "???"
You two have already... you know, how could he not know you're a woman?
That's incredibly blind.
Thinking of Ouyang Xiuqi's reputation for womanizing, she felt a headache coming on.
Ji Yunhua was only pretending to be a womanizer, while Ouyang Xiuqi was truly a womanizer, keeping a bunch of concubines at home.
Regardless of whether this person is willing to take responsibility or not, it's not a good thing.
If she were Ji Yunhua's parents, they would be ready to kill Ouyang Xiuqi right now.
But as a friend, seeing Ji Yunhua's nonchalant demeanor, she could only ask one question: "Did you drink the contraceptive soup?"
Ji Yunhua blushed.
"not yet……"
Would you like a drink?
Just as Ji Yunhua was about to answer, a voice called out from outside the gate: "Brother Hua, are you there?"
Xiao Qingyin gave Ji Yunhua a cool look.
"I'll go take a look first."
As Ji Yunhua spoke, she strode quickly toward the outer courtyard.
Outside the gate of the Yun residence, Ouyang Xiuqi's heart pounded wildly, filled with both excitement and trepidation.
What's exciting is that he and Wah-dee actually...
To my dismay, when I woke up, Hua Di was nowhere to be found.
He didn't even bother to put on shoes and socks, and ran barefoot to the Yun residence.
After knocking on the door, he waited anxiously for Hua Di to appear.
He would accept whatever Hua Di wanted to do to him, he just hoped that Hua Di wouldn't leave without saying goodbye.
The door creaked open, and a familiar face appeared before him. Ouyang Xiuqi's eyes lit up.
Wah-di is still here!
Very good.
"Hua Di, I...I'm sorry about last night..."
Ouyang Xiuqi was so excited that he was incoherent and could not utter a single coherent sentence.
Ji Yunhua said calmly, "Let's forget about last night."
"What?"
Ouyang Xiuqi looked stunned.
"Just pretend nothing happened last night, understand?"
Ji Yunhua replied.
Ouyang Xiuqi froze.
It took me a while to find my voice again.
"Why?"
"It was just an accident, there's no need to take it to heart, right?"
Ji Yunhua smiled.
"But I..."
Ouyang Xiuqi wanted to reveal his true feelings, but Ji Yunhua closed the door.
"I'm a little tired, let's talk another day."
Ouyang Xiuqi was heartbroken and had no recollection of how he returned to the Earl's mansion.
He had all the wine in the mansion brought out and drank it jar after jar.
The liquor was strong, cutting his throat like a knife, but he was completely oblivious.
Yi Shuihan came to the Jian'an Marquis's mansion, intending to ask Ouyang Xiuqi about Ji Yunhua's whereabouts. Seeing him drinking like a madman, he smashed the wine jars.
What kind of drunken rant are you spouting?
He looked at Ouyang Xiuqi expressionlessly.
Ouyang Xiuqi's eyes were vacant as he muttered to himself, "Hua Di doesn't want me."
Yi Shuihan: "???"
"You confessed your feelings to him?"
“No,” Ouyang Xiuqi shook his head, “but we’re together.”
What does it mean to get together without confessing your feelings?
Yi Shuihan listened for a while before he understood what was going on.
He said irritably, "Isn't it normal for them to ask you to pretend nothing happened? What else can you do? Go to the Marquis of Jian'an's mansion and become his male concubine?"
"How could this be!" Ouyang Xiuqi glared at him. "How could I possibly wrong my brother Hua like this?"
"So what do you plan to do? Marry him? Will your mother agree? Can he accept all those concubines in your harem?"
Ouyang Xiuqi was stunned.
He was so preoccupied with his grief that he didn't even consider looking at the issue from Wah-dee's perspective.
In Hua Di's eyes, he was just a playboy. He had never talked to him about his family, so how could he know that his concubines were just for show?
Wah-dee didn't know how much he liked him.
Hua Di must think that last night's events were just another romantic affair for this philandering playboy.
Even if he wanted to take responsibility, Wah-dee wouldn't let him.
His house is a mess, how could Hua Di possibly want to be with him?
Ouyang Xiuqi felt as if he had been enlightened.
He said gratefully, "Jiuheng, thank you, I understand."
After saying that, he called the butler over.
“Go and tell those concubines that those who are willing to leave will each receive 10,000 taels of silver as severance pay, and those who are unwilling to leave can become maids in my mother’s courtyard.”
