Chapter 144 The smart man got tricked by the fool!
"What do you mean he wants to sleep with her?" Xie Jingxing almost scoffed, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the cold jade pendant. "It's clearly her who wants to."
This thought carried a hint of unease that he himself was unwilling to delve into.
And has she become smarter now?
When I slept with him before, I would ask, "Is one hundred taels of silver enough for one time?"
Now you know to ask him for the yard?
He even skipped over the details and said, "Xie Jingxing, if you want to sleep with me, then it'll be one hundred taels per time!"
She really did become ruthless after he divorced her.
He immediately asked for a courtyard house in Beijing!
In a place like Beijing where land is incredibly valuable, even though the Xie family is a top-tier aristocratic family, they don't own many houses.
The entire family owns only a dozen or so houses, and most people live in the main house.
Xie Jingxing only owns two properties!
but……
Xie Jingxing also had a bit of a desire to sleep with Qian Yueqiu.
This acknowledges that, aside from the fact that he discovered the woman he loved most was Qian Yueqiu.
It also carried a hint of helplessness that comes with being a man.
After all, he was just a perfectly normal middle-aged man with the most primal male needs.
This need has nothing to do with romantic love; it's more like a physiological instinct that needs to be relieved regularly.
In the past, this was not a problem.
He was never short of confidantes or bed warmers.
Liu Yu and Su Zhirou could provide him with entertainment, but now he only has Qian Yueqiu.
"Alright, I'll buy you a house!" Xie Jingxing said this almost without much deliberation.
It carries a hint of indulgence...
Once this decision was made, the unhappiness and doubts that arose in my heart due to her inexplicable failure to return to the manor seemed to have found a place to settle.
He originally planned to have someone investigate in detail where Qian Yueqiu had gone before.
Who did you meet?
But at that moment he changed his mind.
Xie Jingxing did not have anyone investigate where Qian Yueqiu had gone before.
After all, she showed up.
And as soon as it appeared, it kept saying it wanted to sleep with me.
This proves that Qian Yueqiu has not changed her mind.
She still loves herself the most!
If he were to investigate Qian Yueqiu's whereabouts at this point, it would make it seem as if Xie Jingxing cared about her a lot!
Xie Jingxing is such an arrogant man!
He didn't want outsiders to know that he loved Qian Yueqiu, and that he loved her even more than she loved him.
What's more, he had just taken a break.
If he were to make up with Qian Yueqiu so hastily, wouldn't that make him look cheap?
At the very least, we need to let Qian Yueqiu catch up with him for a while.
That's how it appears to outsiders.
At least in the eyes of the Xie and Qian families, "He only reconciled with Qian Yueqiu because of her persistent pestering and because of the two children!"
At that time.
It has both face and substance.
Moreover, with two princes now fallen, it is safer for him to stand on the side of the crown prince!
It's just a house; once it's given away, it's given away.
Anyway, Qian Yueqiu's things will be left to his two sons in the future!
They returned to the Xie residence.
Xie Jingxing summoned the butler and calmly instructed, "Buy a quiet and elegant house. It doesn't need to be too big, but the layout must be good. Put it under Qian Yueqiu's name."
The steward bowed his head and accepted the order.
After giving the instructions, Xie Jingxing felt something was amiss.
If the yard were sold immediately, the renovation and tidying up alone would take a very long time.
When will he be able to sleep with Qian Yueqiu?
After much thought...
Xie Jingxing still transferred one of the courtyards under his name to Qian Yueqiu.
He also specifically instructed the steward to tidy up properly and to make sure the stove was burning brightly.
That way, he and Qian Yueqiu could go to sleep whenever they wanted...
New Year's Eve.
The New Year's Eve family banquet in the palace was attended by members of the royal family or powerful officials like Xie Jingxing.
But tonight, Qian Yueqiu.
Because of her connection to the Crown Princess, she also attended the banquet.
She was dressed in a crimson palace gown with gold phoenix patterns, and a red-gold phoenix hairpin with pearls was inserted diagonally into her hair. She sat on a brocade stool below the Crown Princess.
Accompanying her was her second older sister, Qian Yuexia.
Qian Yuexia was determined to marry into a wealthy family, even with the negative example of Qian Yueqiu.
But she still wanted to get married.
Therefore, Qian Yueshu naturally had to agree!
After all, although Qian Yuexia was not as loyal as Qian Yueqiu, she was still standing on her side and on the side of the Qian family.
Qian Yuexia brought it with her.
Qian Yueshu wanted to bring Qian Yueqiu along, since she was also single!
What if I happen to meet someone at this royal banquet who wants to marry me as his second wife?
Unexpectedly, halfway through the banquet, Xie Jingxing coaxed Qian Yueqiu away: "I bought you the courtyard you wanted. Do you want to go take a look?"
"good!"
The blue silk carriage rolled over the snow and drove out of the palace gate, the silver-inlaid copper ball lamps hanging in the carriage casting dappled light.
Xie Jingxing took off his black sable cloak and wrapped it around Qian Yueqiu, the black fox fur at the edge of the cloak brushing against her cheek.
They soon arrived at Xie Jingxing's courtyard.
Two glass lanterns hang in front of the courtyard gate, illuminating the newly inscribed characters "Bright Moon" on the plaque.
Qian Yueqiu helped him up the stone steps.
Qian Yueqiu was naturally satisfied with the courtyard.
After all, the Xie family's things are all of the highest quality.
Not to mention Xie Jingxing's private residence?
That would be even better if it were heavy.
Seeing that Qian Yueqiu's interest was entirely focused on strolling around the courtyard, Xie Jingxing subtly reminded her, "Since you're satisfied with the courtyard, shouldn't you...?"
Actually, he just wanted to sleep with Qian Yueqiu.
Qian Yueqiu quickly realized, or rather, she also wanted to sleep with Xie Jingxing.
She threw herself into the man's arms: "Ah Xing... thank you for giving me such a big yard."
"Now that I've satisfied you, shouldn't you satisfy me too?"
Xie Jingxing, fearing that Qian Yueqiu, who might have mental issues, wouldn't understand, tapped her lips.
His lips lingered on her neck, his voice unusually urgent, his fingers already probing the cloud-patterned collar of her palace dress.
Qian Yueqiu readily offered her red lips, and the gold tassel of the phoenix hairpin in her hair entwined around his crown tassel.
The two stumbled into the inner room, knocking the silk screen to the ground. The candlelight outside the silk curtains flickered, creating a warm glow.
As he tore open her clothes, he suddenly froze—several rose-red marks were clearly visible on her snow-white neck, resembling tears of rouge on jade porcelain in the candlelight.
"How did you do this?" He lightly touched the spot with his fingertips, his voice suddenly turning as cold and deep as the snow outside the palace.
It's been two or three days now. Although the mark isn't very clear, I can still vaguely make out what it is...
But Xie Jingxing didn't believe that Qian Yueqiu had another man.
After all, she was so eager to sleep with him?
At this point, Qian Yueqiu knew she couldn't tell the truth, so she made up a lie: "It was a mosquito bite..."
That's the downside of her not being very bright.
Sometimes it's about knowing what to say and what to do.
But lying, or anything more serious, is something they won't do.
"Where would mosquitoes come from in the twelfth lunar month?" Xie Jingxing propped himself up, and the shadow fell over him.
She tilted her head back and bit his Adam's apple: "It's either a mosquito or an insect!"
Um.
The advantage of not being very bright is: "I can lie without blushing at all, and I don't feel embarrassed at all if you catch me."
