◎“Who did you just think of?”◎
The sound of flapping wings was heard, and Ah Qi took the letter from the pigeon and handed it to Pei Ji.
Pei Ji took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but frowning.
The letter was written by Lin Qingyan, saying that they were almost there and would meet him at the agreed location.
It was already the third day since An Jiu came to Qiansha Pavilion.
Pei Ji couldn't help but feel confused. An Jiu's letter was written under his nose that day, and he personally handed it to Fei Chen. Since then, he has been sending people to monitor Fei Chen's movements to make sure that he did hand the letter to everyone.
Why don't they believe it?
In the letter Lin Qingyan wrote to him, she even stated with certainty that An Jiu must have been forced. She clearly had a loved one, and it must have been Xian Wuming who forced her.
Pei Ji couldn't understand.
When Fei Chen saw An Jiu with him, his first reaction was suspicion, as if he was very sure that An Jiu would not like him.
The same is true for Lin Qingyan.
Do they all know who An Jiu likes?
Apart from this explanation, Pei Ji could not think of any other more reasonable answer.
He thought about it and felt that since that person was not Fei Chen, he could very well be Ming Yi, the prince of Prince Ming.
When An Jiu and he first met at Golden Snake Villa, they seemed to hit it off right away and even visited the Lantern Festival together. Perhaps they had already fallen in love at that time.
Later, An Jiu returned to Beijing, and Ming Yi got married on behalf of his father. The two had more contact and developed a stepmother-stepson relationship, so it was understandable that they loved each other.
Now that I think about it, all the rumors about the Shangshu daughter and the Ming prince that I heard in the capital before were most likely not false, otherwise why would they be spread so widely and known to everyone?
The letter was unconsciously crumpled into pieces. The man pursed his thin lips into a straight line, with a cold expression.
Although the reactions of the crowd after receiving the letter were somewhat beyond his expectations, Pei Ji was now actually looking forward to their arrival.
Since they don't believe it, let them see it with their own eyes.
What could they say if they had witnessed with their own eyes that she loved him?
Even if she didn't believe it, what did it matter? An Jiu was deeply in love with him and couldn't leave him at all. Even if those people wanted to take her away, she wouldn't leave.
Most importantly, he also wanted to make sure who the man she loved was.
Pei Ji has never forgotten that in her previous life, the man An Jiu loved deeply was He Ziqing.
The two of them get along very normally in this life, as if they are just ordinary friends. He Ziqing also clearly likes Lin Qingyan, but it is not ruled out that An Jiu secretly loves him in her heart?
No matter what, he didn't want to miss any possibility.
"Keep watching them and report any movements to me."
Slowly loosening his hand, watching the torn pieces of paper in his palm drifting away with the wind, Pei Ji gave a faint instruction.
"Yes, sir."
The summer afternoon was very hot. An Jiu had a delicate physique and was afraid of both cold and heat, so he ordered someone to move a recliner to the shade of a tree in the yard to cool off.
She now lives in a small courtyard next to the largest tower in the center of Qiansha Pavilion. There are two maids in the courtyard to serve her in her daily life.
An Jiu tried to talk to the maids, but the two of them were like wooden stakes. They just stood there quietly all day long. They didn't say a word except for doing things, and they would never chat with her.
Life became extremely boring.
Pei Ji didn't come to see her often, and An Jiu could vaguely feel that he seemed to be avoiding her.
As for the reason, An Jiu guessed that it was probably because he was afraid of losing control?
He obviously couldn't resist her love for him. Whenever she acted coquettishly towards him, this man would give in and satisfy all her spoiled and arrogant demands.
An Jiu even had the illusion that he was more love-brained than her, who was pretending to be love-brained.
People who have never loved anyone and are cold-blooded and ruthless, once they truly fall in love with someone, will become more crazy and more immersed than ordinary people.
There is a saying that goes, some people are fine if they don't fall in love, but once they fall in love, the sky will fall and the earth will collapse.
An Jiu felt that Pei Ji was that kind of person.
"System, what's Pei Ji's favorability?" Because she was too bored, she had to talk to the system.
[The target of the strategy is Pei Ji, whose current favorability towards you is 85. ]
An Jiu: "..."
This is too difficult to attack.
Generally, it becomes more difficult to conquer the game as you progress in the later stages, and An Jiu was prepared for this.
But these past few days, she had been confessing her love to Pei Ji every day, throwing herself into his arms from time to time, acting coquettishly and cutely and kissing him all the time, and this man didn't even give her a single point?
Is his heart made of stone!?
An Jiu was extremely sad and angry, her enthusiasm was not in vain!
Since he doesn't fall for it, don't blame her for using her ultimate move!
"Hongyu, I want to embroider a purse for Feiyi. Can you bring me the needle and thread?" An Jiu half leaned on the recliner and said to the maid who was fanning her.
The maid put down her fan, bowed slightly, and went into the house quietly. After a while, she came back with a basket of needlework and flowers.
The original body was not good at sewing since she was a child, and her family did not force her to do it. She was a noble lady, so why did she need to make a purse by herself? Anyway, there were people who could do this kind of sewing for her.
An Jiu was not good at this either. She could only sew clothes simply. If you asked her to embroider, the things she would embroider would probably be considered waste.
An Jiu picked out a piece of bright red satin from the basket and cut it into shape with scissors. The two pieces of cloth put together formed a simple small purse, and the embroidery on it was a mandarin duck pattern that she had cut from another piece of cloth and then sewn on.
Ignoring the rough stitching inside the purse, the purse does look exquisite and beautiful from the outside.
After sewing the purse, An Jiu began to slowly make the tassels.
The sun had set unknowingly, and the blood-red setting sun spread across half the sky.
After hanging the ears of corn on her purse, An Jiu rubbed her sore neck. She raised her head and saw a man standing quietly at the gate of a small courtyard not far away, looking at her with serious eyes. She didn't know how long he had been standing there.
An Jiu was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly reacted, quickly stood up and ran over.
The girl's eyes were bright, reflecting the bright red glow in the sky, like two burning flames.
She ran towards him, so impatient that she even forgot to put on her shoes. Her white and tender feet were bare, and her light pink skirt fluttered like a dream.
This scene seems like a dream, so beautiful that it seems unreal.
It was not until he felt his chest sinking and the petite girl threw herself into his arms, tilting her little face up to smile sweetly at him, that Pei Ji suddenly felt a sense of reality.
He lowered his eyes to look at her, and softened his voice unconsciously: "What were you doing just now?"
This man himself did not dare to come to see her, and he placed two maids around her to monitor her. An Jiu could guarantee that every time she drank a few sips of water, she would be reported to him. Even so, he would still ask her what she did when she came, and let her tell him the trivial daily life in person.
From this point of view, he should be very lacking in love. Psychologically speaking, people who lack love often yearn for the warmth of family.
Considering Pei Ji's life experience, he probably has never felt loved at all?
An Jiu felt like a frog living in the ice and snow, looking forward to warmth but afraid that the warmth would boil him. He was indulging himself in it, but at the same time he was restraining himself from staying away from it.
Although thinking this in his heart, An Jiu remained calm and said with a smile: "I'm making a purse for you!"
She picked up the small red purse, handed it to him, and smiled with her eyebrows curved: "Can I bring it to you?"
Pei Ji fixed his eyes on the purse and couldn't help but think of another purse.
She also handed the purse to him personally.
However, a few days after giving him the purse, she left him without hesitation or looking back, without even a word of explanation.
Now, he once again received her purse.
The man's black eyes flickered and he remained silent for a long time.
The girl felt a little uneasy. She pursed her lips uncomfortably, slowly hid the purse behind her, lowered her head in disappointment, and whispered, "I, this purse I made is too bad. I'll give it to you when I make a better one..."
"Not bad." A low voice rang in her ears. She raised her eyes suddenly and saw the man smiling. His eyes were as gentle as always when he looked at her. "Put it on me."
The girl's clear eyes lit up again instantly, and she nodded happily: "Yes!"
The slender white fingers moved deftly and pinned the purse on the man's waist. Coincidentally, the man was wearing a moon-white robe today, and the crimson against the moon-white was particularly eye-catching.
The girl watched this scene with admiration, and as she watched, her eyes suddenly became dazed.
Those bright and sparkling eyes gradually became empty and lost focus. For a moment, the girl seemed to have lost her mind. She stood there blankly, becoming a body without a soul.
Pei Ji's attention was always on the girl, so he naturally noticed her abnormality at the first moment.
His heart sank suddenly, and a chill spread from his heart. In an instant, his originally warm chest became icy cold.
Before he had time to think, he raised his hand and grabbed the girl's shoulder, gritted his teeth and asked, "What are you thinking about!"
"Ah?" The girl suddenly came back to her senses, and met his shocked and angry gaze. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you, Feiyi? Did I, did I make you unhappy?"
"No, I asked you who you were thinking of just now!" The man's tone was anxious and heavy, his brows full of anxiety and hidden anger.
Facing the man's questioning, the girl pouted her lips in dissatisfaction and said aggrievedly: "I'm not thinking of anyone. I'm thinking of you, nothing else. And, you hurt me."
As soon as she said this, the man subconsciously eased up his strength.
Seeing the sparkling light in the girl's eyes and her expression of great aggrievedness, Pei Ji had to force himself to suppress his annoyance.
She knew nothing now, so what could he do even if he got angry with her?
There was nothing he could do.
I can only watch her miss her former lover.
I can only feel dark resentment, jealousy, and the desire to kill in my heart.
But I didn't dare let her know even a little bit.
