Chapter 25 The Witchcraft Boy 24
Qi Chen looked at the woman in front of him and clearly caught the dislike in her eyes. He felt impatient. If it weren't for Qiu Qiu, he wouldn't bother listening to these women's nagging, especially since they were people trying to stop him from being with Qiu Qiu. "Can I have whatever I want?"
"Of course, what does young master desire?" Lan Rui replied calmly.
Hearing Lan Rui's promise, Qi Chen looked down at Xu Qiuqiu with tender eyes and said softly, "I want her."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qiuqiu's heart suddenly began to flutter.
Hearing Qi Chen's reply, Lan Rui's tone turned much colder, "Young Master, you should make other requests."
Qi Chen never looked away and continued, "I only want her."
A strong gust of wind swept through, and the surrounding ornaments began to shatter. Lan Rui was so angry that she could hardly maintain her fake smile. "What wishful thinking! I'll give you another choice. Don't make things so ugly!"
However, Qi Chen was not afraid at all. He finally turned his gaze from Xu Qiuqiu to Lan Rui, and his eyes turned cold. "No matter how many times you ask, I only want her."
The darkness in his heart began to spread and grow again. Qiuqiu had to be his. Anyone who dared to stop him would be killed without a sound.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Seeing that things were not going well, Xu Qiuqiu quickly spoke up, "Master, I like him, I want to be with him, please grant my wish."
Upon hearing Xu Qiuqiu speak, Qi Chen turned his gaze to her. He saw that the girl's eyes were firm as she told them that she liked him and wanted to be with him.
All the dark thoughts in his mind disappeared again. He felt as if his whole heart was soaking in sugar water, sweet and full.
[Ding! The female lead's happiness level has increased by 10%, currently at 40%]
Xu Qiuqiu was puzzled. What happened? How did her happiness level increase? And it wasn't 20% before; even if it increased by 10%, it should only have reached 30%. How did it suddenly become 40%?
Her palm was squeezed, and she looked at Qi Chen in confusion. Qi Chen smiled at her even more gently and said, "Qiuqiu, I like you too."
His face was exquisitely beautiful, his eyes were focused and captivating, and he smiled at her, making it impossible for her to look away for a moment.
Seeing the two 'gazing deeply into each other', Lan Rui's expression became even uglier. Who could accept that a stranger would come up and ask for her precious apprentice?
Unfortunately, she couldn't make a move. Seeing Xiao Qiu's expression, she knew that if she did, it would definitely create a rift between them. Lan Rui was so angry that her head ached, and she stormed off.
The senior sisters who remained in the room also left. Shui Rou turned back to Xu Qiuqiu and said, "Junior sister, I will put in a good word for you with Master." After saying that, she also left in a hurry.
Before leaving, Yun Yulu glanced back at the two of them. She had only wanted her master to scare the boy, but it backfired and brought the two of them closer together.
After everyone had left, Xu Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief. The scene just now was truly terrifying. If she had spoken up even a little later, her master would definitely have hit her.
Half of the decorations in the room were shattered by Lan Rui's internal force, which shows how angry she was.
She was about to say something to Qi Chen when he pulled her into his arms. "Qiuqiu, I'm so happy."
Seeing how happy he was, she couldn't bear to say anything to him and spoil his mood.
She's the one who provoked us, so we can only let her have her way. What else can we do?
The incense in the room rose gently. Yun Yulu brewed tea on the table. After brewing the tea, she took it to Lanrui and handed it to her, saying, "Master, don't be angry. Getting angry will harm your health."
Lan Rui took the teacup, took a sip, and rubbed her head. "I'm just worried that Xiao Qiu will be bullied. She only knows a few people. That guy is just a pretty face. Xiao Qiu can play around with him, but he even dares to ask me for Xiao Qiu."
“Master, it’s alright. Maybe Xiao Qiu’er will get tired of it after a while. Besides, I just thought of a way.” Yun Yulu said to Lan Rui.
Lan Rui lowered her hand and met her gaze. "What method?"
“Master is just afraid that Xiao Qiu’er will be tricked away by him. It’s better to let him stay. If he really wants to get married, let him marry into the family. That way, he can’t bully Xiao Qiu’er under our noses.”
After saying that, he glanced at Lan Rui and saw that she was thinking seriously, and continued, "If we do the opposite, Xiao Qiu'er might become estranged from us. It would be better to keep that boy under our noses so that we can feel at ease. What do you think, Master?"
Lanrui pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's do it your way."
"Arrange another room for that kid; a man and a woman shouldn't stay together alone."
After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling her to go and do her job.
Yun Yulu bowed and slowly left the room.
