[Host, my gratitude value has increased. This must be the man in red.]
[Hmm. We've gained quite a bit this time. Let's go!]
Ji Jingyi couldn't find any trace of Li Mengyue, so he had to return to Banyue Villa dejectedly.
At the Banyue Villa, Ji Jingyi sat in the hall, thinking about going up the mountain, feeling upset and confused, so he decided to go find his cousin.
Xie Ruiyuan was in his study, sitting at the desk, holding a paintbrush in his hand. With delicate brushstrokes, a girl with scars all over her face came to life on the paper.
Then he described the girl's eyes, a pair of big round almond-shaped eyes, which immediately made the whole painting vivid.
The girl's eyes were especially clear, like scissors and water, as if they could see through people's hearts. Her pupils were deep, as if they contained endless wisdom and mystery.
Thinking back to that night when the poison in his body took effect and he was raped by the other party, he was filled with hatred.
"Woman, don't make me look for you, otherwise..."
Although he hadn't finished speaking, the murderous intent in his tone still made people tremble with fear.
“Squeak!”
"Cousin, I'm looking for someone to save the girl who saved me."
Ji Jingyi ignored Qingxi's attempts to stop him and broke into the study.
Xie Ruiyuan was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice his cousin outside the study.
Therefore, when Ji Jingyi walked into the study, Xie Ruiyuan had not yet had time to put away the paintings on the desk.
"Hey! Who is this woman with scars all over her face?"
Xie Ruiyuan didn't answer, picked up the painting and was about to put it away.
However, before he could touch the painting, Ji Jingyi took it away and looked at it while commenting on it.
"Cousin, this isn't because you like someone, but aren't you indifferent to women?"
"I still remember that some time ago, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion wanted to meet you by chance, but you rejected her without mercy. She was so heartbroken that she almost cried."
"And Princess Yaoyao of the Prince's Mansion has been deeply in love with you since childhood. She once said she would marry no one but you, but you never took her words to heart."
"And Minister Li's youngest daughter loves you deeply, and there are many rich young ladies who regard you as their dream lover. How could you fall for this ugly girl?"
Ji Jingyi held the painting and talked about who in the capital loved Xie Ruiyuan, while mocking his cousin for falling in love with a woman with scars on her face.
Xie Ruiyuan sat on the chair, listening to his cousin talk about his love for the woman. He didn't feel anything, but just felt like there was a noisy bird chirping in his ear.
If the other person wasn't his cousin, he would have asked Qingxi to throw him out long ago.
Ji Jingyi talked for a while, but got no response from his cousin. Feeling bored, he returned the painting to Xie Ruiyuan, found a chair to sit on, and looked dejected.
Xie Ruiyuan had never seen his cousin so depressed before, so he asked, "Cousin, what happened?"
Ji Jingyi didn't answer directly. Instead, he stood up and stood in front of Xie Ruiyuan. He brushed the hair under his forehead with his hand and said in distress: "Cousin, am I not handsome?"
Without waiting for Xie Ruiyuan's answer, he continued, "No, I've been handsome since I was a child, how could I not be handsome? But why doesn't she even look at me?"
Xie Ruiyuan listened to her and guessed that it was the girl his cousin mentioned who saved him when he was being hunted last time.
He didn't know what kind of girl would make his cousin never forget her.
You have to know that in the environment where they grew up, they had seen countless beauties since childhood, and there were all kinds of beauties in the palace.
But his cousin was so obsessed with the girl he had only met once, and he didn't want to make any comments.
I just know that even if my aunt doesn't mind the girl's background, given my cousin's family background, he can't marry a girl of low birth.
But at this time, Xie Ruiyuan didn't know that their cousin would fall for this woman, and he was even more treacherous than Ji Jingyi.
