Chapter 159 Climbing the Window
"Lifelong matters require careful consideration. You don't have to rush to answer me. I'm already very grateful if Miss Ye is willing to consider me as a candidate for marriage."
Ji Weiming also considerately handed Ye Xiaoman a ladder down.
Ye Xiaoman found Ji Weiming more and more pleasing to the eye.
She said, "I'll think about it."
Ji Weiming was happy. He finally waited for Ye Xiaoman to give in. This time she did not reject him directly, but really gave him the opportunity to pursue her.
A crack opened up on the table between them.
Ji Weiming finally noticed something unusual, "Strange."
Big brother, you finally found out something was wrong! Ye Xiaoman felt strangely relieved.
A crack grew into a spiderweb of cracks, and the table eventually broke apart.
Ji Weiming then let go of Ye Xiaoman's hand, and they both stood up. He looked at the wooden blocks on the ground in amazement.
"Every item in Yongning Temple is protected by a magic circle. This is the first time I have witnessed such a situation."
Ye Xiaoman lied with her eyes wide open. "Maybe the house has aged because it hasn't been maintained for a long time. Things have a lifespan, too."
This reminded Ji Weiming that he considered Ye Xiaoman's safety more important than his own life.
He immediately said, "I will ask Jiaying to arrange another place for you to live."
He could have asked his attendants to do such a small matter, but he was afraid that it would not attract attention if he handed it over to others, so he decided to do it himself. "I will go find Jiaying immediately."
Ye Xiaoman was as if she had just survived a disaster. "Go quickly. I'm a little tired and I'm going to take a nap."
Ji Weiming looked at her reluctantly, and only left after her repeated urging.
Ye Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief.
The monks in Jiaying were still well-mannered and not as flammable and explosive as she had imagined.
That's right, he kept saying that he wanted to draw a clear line between them. He was very reluctant to expose his past relationship with her to the world and affect his personal reputation, so he would not reveal it in front of Ji Weiming.
He is the kind of good boy who dares not speak out when being bullied and swallows all his tears - this kind of boy is really easy to bully.
Jiaying still teased her desire to abuse him in every way.
Ye Xiaoman waited until Ji Weiming's footsteps could no longer be heard before looking in Jiaying's direction. "Master Jiaying, please come in."
Jiaying remained silent, like an angry white rabbit, with a cold brow. He walked away from the window and walked around half the room to find her.
Ye Xiaoman quickly said, "Climb in through the window. Prince Rui and his men are outside, don't let anyone see you."
The storm in Jiaying's eyes grew more and more intense, finally landing and ravaging the entire landscape. He was so angry that the corners of his eyes turned red:
"Ji Weiming entered through the main gate, but you made me climb through the window. Am I such a disgrace to you?"
Ye Xiaoman: "Don't get excited."
Jiaying: "I am very calm."
Ye Xiaoman: "You were so calm that you shattered the windows."
Jiaying: “…”
Jiaying said seriously: "The window is broken, I want to enter through the main door."
Ye Xiaoman almost laughed out loud. It was so much fun to tease Jiaying.
After all, she still had a little conscience left, and she was afraid that if she angered him, she would really get chopped to pieces.
She lowered the corners of her mouth that were turned up, and looked at him sadly, "I asked you to climb through the window because I was thinking about you."
She explained, "If Prince Rui saw you secretly meeting a woman, what would he think of you? Even if Prince Rui didn't suspect anything, wouldn't the people around him spread groundless rumors?"
"Your reputation is more important than anything else. I cannot be a stain on you."
"You're not a stain."
You are the best thing that has ever happened to my life.
Jiaying said coldly, "I don't care about other people's eyes."
Ye Xiaoman replied gently: "But I care about you."
"I won't allow you to suffer any hardship because of me."
Jiaying looked at Ye Xiaoman with a cold look on his face, then climbed in through the window.
He stood in front of her, speaking in a distant tone without any ups and downs.
"You are free to accept Prince Rui's proposal. I have no right to interfere."
"We've known each other for a while, and I want to remind you that King Rui is not a good match."
The corners of Ye Xiaoman's mouth twitched.
What Sikong Qing always said was right: men can be too malicious towards other men.
She heard Jiaying explaining everything to her in detail. She didn't know how long he had prepared this long speech. It really went against his taciturn personality.
"The Heavenly Family is ruthless. Everyone knows Ji Wenyi's style. He is the most cold-blooded and ruthless."
"Ji Wenyi's lifelong dream is to weaken the aristocratic families and strengthen the imperial power."
"As long as you understand this, you will know that Ji Wenyi will never be able to personally build up another aristocratic family."
"Prince Rui's fiefdom is rich and prosperous. After ten generations, it will surely expand into a powerful force and become a hidden danger to the empire."
"After you get married..."
Jiaying gritted his teeth and squeezed out the word "marriage". He felt that saying one more word would bring bad luck.
"Ji Wenyi will definitely find an excuse to reduce Ji Weiming's fiefdom and take away his military power. The best approach, of course, is to demote Ji Weiming to a pariah and expel him from the Divine Realm, once and for all."
"When Ji Weiming was still Prince Rui, his status was unparalleled. But when he became Ji Wenyi's abandoned child, others even bullied him maliciously because of their hatred for Ji Wenyi."
"Once the high and mighty prince falls, even those without moral integrity will want to step on him to feel superior. Do you really think he can protect you?"
Before he knew it, Jiaying had spoken the most words of his life in one breath.
After saying this, he became indifferent again and looked down at Ye Xiaoman.
Ye Xiaoman: “…”
Thank you, Master Jiaying, you know how to pour cold water on people. Now I feel happier being Aquaman again.
It was true that I had never seen the world before and my mind was not clear for a while.
If you want to blame someone, blame the temptation of getting something for nothing and retiring at a young age. It is really too great.
Alas, the world is too cruel to the poor, and there are traps everywhere.
When Jiaying saw Ye Xiaoman finally change her expression to one of sudden enlightenment, he felt less blocked in his heart.
"Only me, if you follow me, I will give you ten times or a hundred times the small profits that King Rui can give you."
Pulling down and stepping on others is just a necessary skill for the King of Divine Realm.
Ye Xiaoman disagreed.
Master, forget it. You can't even have a love relationship.
Once she realized that it was difficult to get something for free, Ye Xiaoman's heart became as hard as diamond.
"What do you think? Why not consider me..."
"A person of no importance."
Jiaying's strong hatred was directed at Ji Weiming. When facing Ye Xiaoman, he only felt aggrieved and sad.
She said she loved him sincerely, then turned around and made peace with Ji Weiming.
If it weren't for what happened today, he would still be kept in the dark by her, dreaming of being deeply loved by someone.
He recalled that when he was a child, whenever his mother showed signs of changing her mind, his father, who came from a noble family, would lock him in the house and smash things.
He looked away and glanced coldly at the furniture in the room. Perhaps he also needed to smash one to teach Ye Xiaoman a lesson.
