Chapter 15 What are you nervous about?
The door of the private room opened, and a man pulled another person in, holding a glass of wine in his hand.
The man who spoke first greeted Xie Zhili with a smile, "Brother Xie, why did you come to Xifeng Tower for a drink without me and Brother Su? Are you afraid that we won't pay for the drink?"
When the other man saw that there was another person in the private room, he pulled his companion's sleeve and signaled him to stay calm, "Brother Liu, there's someone else."
The man then realized that besides Xie Zhili, there was another girl in the private room. She had her head down and it was difficult to see who she was.
He was always straightforward, and out of curiosity he immediately asked, "Xie, what is this?"
Although the atmosphere was disturbed, Xie Zhili was not annoyed. The two people in front of him were his good friends since childhood.
He stood up and bowed, "I went out to dinner with my family today, so I didn't invite you two, gentlemen. Please forgive me."
Only then did Yu Qinghuan look up at the two people coming. Judging from their clothes, they must be children of wealthy families. He had heard that Xie Zhili had two close friends, and he thought they must be the two people in front of him.
When she raised her face, both of them were startled. Her beautiful eyes were shimmering and moving, as if cinnabar accidentally fell on rice paper. Even the most beautiful peony in the palace would be eclipsed in front of her, making it impossible to take your eyes off her.
With a "clang", the wine glass in Liu Yan's hand fell to the ground.
The crisp sound brought the two of them back to their senses. Liu Yan quickly bent down to pick up the wine glass on the ground. His ears were red, and he was upset about his loss of composure.
He mumbled an explanation: "Sorry, I was a little drunk...I didn't hold it firmly."
Compared to the out-of-control Liu Yan, Su Heng on the side was much calmer. He just glanced at Yu Qinghuan twice and then looked away.
Xie Zhili didn't think much about it, invited the two of them to sit down, and introduced them to Yu Qinghuan.
"This is Su Qi, Su Heng from the Yongchang Earl's Mansion."
Yu Qinghuan had some impression of the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion. He remembered that the Earl of Yongchang was very fond of beautiful women. He had seven or eight concubines in his family and had eleven sons and daughters.
The two of them looked at each other and greeted each other.
Xie Zhili looked at Liu Yan again, "This is the son of the Minister of Revenue, Liu Yan."
Ministry of Revenue?
Yu Qinghuan's eyes lit up slightly. That must be quite rich. She smiled at Liu Yan and said, "Mr. Liu, I am honored."
This smile made Liu Yan's heart beat fast, his ears and face flushed, and he quickly picked up the wine glass and said in a hurried tone, "Miss, you are polite."
Noticing Liu Yan's repeated misbehavior, Su Heng, who had already guessed Yu Qinghuan's identity, asked Xie Zhili at the right moment, "Brother Xie, I remember you don't have any sisters. Who is this?"
Xie Zhili then introduced Yu Qinghuan to the two of them, "This is the eldest sister-in-law of the family."
Liu Yan was stunned, as if a basin of cold water was poured over his head, extinguishing his spring heart, "......"
He smiled awkwardly, "It turned out to be my sister-in-law."
Yu Qinghuan blinked her beautiful eyes slightly, thinking that this young boy had a simple mind and his reaction was very funny.
She was thinking about whether to pick some topics.
At this time, Xie Zhili had already realized the reason for his friend's loss of composure. His eyes darkened, and he lowered his hands. Under the table, he grabbed Yu Qinghuan beside him with force.
Yu Qinghuan was stunned by the sudden hand that came over her. She subconsciously looked at Xie Zhili, her heart tense. "!"
There are outsiders around, and he is holding his widowed sister-in-law's hand like this. Isn't that inappropriate?
Xie Zhili ignored Yu Qinghuan's accusing gaze, pursed his thin lips, raised his glass to his two friends, and chatted and laughed.
But he was thinking in his heart: My widowed sister-in-law is beautiful but doesn't realize it. She always smiles at men. This is really not a good habit.
Under the table, his wrist bone pressed against Yu Qinghuan's sleeve, and his thumb slowly stroked her palm. His sitting posture was as upright as a pine or bamboo, only his Adam's apple rolled up and down with the amplitude of Yu Qinghuan's struggle.
Yu Qinghuan tried to break free several times, but Xie Zhili held her tightly. Afraid of being discovered, she did not dare to move too much, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on the back of her neck.
She pretended to take a handkerchief with her left hand and reached under the table, trying to pull Xie Zhili's hand away, but as soon as her left hand's fingers pinched Xie Zhili, her five fingers were held back, and the jade bracelet hit the edge of the table with a slight sound, which immediately attracted everyone's attention!
Sang Ru, who was standing by, saw the two clasped hands under the table clearly, and her heart was filled with worry for Yu Qinghuan. This Second Master was too wild and unruly. How could he have the nerve to do such a thing when there were outsiders here!
Meeting the gazes of Liu Yan and Su Heng, Yu Qinghuan didn't dare to move for fear of being discovered. However, Xie Zhili took the opportunity to slip his fingertips between her curled fingers, and he grabbed both of her hands and pressed them against her legs.
The palm of her hand felt the warmth between his legs through the material, and the heat spread along the blood vessels to her collarbone, and Yu Qinghuan's earlobes burned red.
Xie Zhili let out a muffled laugh and placed some food in Yu Qinghuan's bowl. "Why aren't you eating? Is the food not to your liking?"
Yu Qinghuan gritted her teeth and glared at Xie Zhili. If there weren't outsiders around, she really wanted to bite this man hard!
However, facing the gazes from Liu Yan and Su Heng, she smiled and said, "I haven't had a very good appetite lately. You guys just eat and don't pay any attention to me."
Such a beauty, even if she is Xie Zhili's widowed sister-in-law, makes people care about her. Liu Yan thought without hesitation, "Xifenglou has just released a new fruit drink. It's sweet and sour and delicious. It's very appetizing. Why don't you try it, sister-in-law?"
Just as Yu Qinghuan was about to refuse, Liu Yan had already gone out to call the servant and asked someone to bring a pot of fruit drink.
He poured a cup and walked over, intending to bring it to Yu Qinghuan.
Yu Qinghuan's heart was in her throat. She struggled and tried to free her hands, fearing that Liu Yan, who was walking over, would catch a glimpse of her and Xie Zhili's intertwined hands under the table.
Xie Zhili held on tightly, not giving her any chance to break free.
As Liu Yan approached, Yu Qinghuan's whole body tensed up, and a thin layer of cold sweat soaked his back.
It's over...
However, as soon as Liu Yanren walked in front of Xie Zhili, he was glanced at by his good brother. He felt a chill on his back for some reason and realized that he should not be so attentive to the widowed sister-in-law in front of his good brother.
"Xie brother, please pass it to my sister-in-law."
He placed the glass of juice in front of Xie Zhili with a wry smile, sat back in his original seat, and smiled at Yu Qinghuan, feeling a little embarrassed.
Yu Qinghuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his body.
Xie Zhili asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Why are you so nervous?"
Yu Qinghuan shook her hands, completely annoyed, "Let me go."
If Liu Yan had really found out just now, who knows what would have happened.
Who knows, tomorrow the scandal of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion will spread throughout the capital, and then Wang will definitely not forgive her.
Xie Zhili guided her hand to wander over her legs, his eyes scanning every inch of her body, as if he wanted to play with Yu Qinghuan from inside to outside.
Although she was dressed neatly, Yu Qinghuan felt as if she was not fully clothed. A suspicious blush appeared on her face. She lowered her head, fearing that the two people sitting opposite her would notice something was wrong.
