Chapter 596 Pie in the Sky
The sourness in these words was so obvious that Bu Shengyan regretted it as soon as she said it.
But the words have been spoken, and it is impossible to take them back.
She could only turn her head away and stop looking at Luo Yechen.
Luo Yechen smiled silently.
The maid felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange and that it was not appropriate for her as an outsider to be present, so she took the initiative to speak.
"Miss, I will go and see if our carriage is listening."
Bu Shengyan nodded: "Yeah."
The maid let go of her arm and turned to leave the courtyard.
After the maid left, Bu Shengyan and Luo Yechen were the only ones left in the courtyard.
Luo Yechen: "Listen to my explanation."
Bu Shengyan still tilted her face, looking expressionlessly at the hibiscus flowers next to her, and said in a flat tone: "Okay, explain it to me."
Luo Yechen opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that he had already explained what had happened and there was nothing more to add.
His shoulders slumped limply.
"Actually, it was just as I said, she took the initiative to lean towards me.
I didn't react at once, so I reached out to help her.
I just ran into her and you came here, I don't know how it could be such a coincidence?!"
Bu Shengyan was so angry that she laughed: "Are you blaming me for coming at such an unfortunate time?"
Luo Yechen quickly denied: "No, I definitely didn't mean that!
I just feel so unlucky, how could such a bad thing happen to me? !"
In the private room on the second floor.
Xiao Xixi had just picked up a pie and was about to start eating when she heard a familiar voice coming from downstairs.
She moved closer to the window, looked down, and saw Luo Yechen and Bu Shengyan standing in the courtyard and talking.
Bu Shengyan had a stern face and looked very unhappy.
"I've heard that you like Xie Chuxue very much, and you even went to her house to propose marriage before.
Judging from her expression now, she must be unable to forget her old love for you.
If that's the case, you two should reconcile, so I don't have to be stuck between you two."
Talking about the past, Luo Yechen couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
He said embarrassedly.
"These are all old and trivial things. If you hadn't mentioned them, I would have almost forgotten them.
At first I was bewildered and thought she was a fairy who was pure and innocent.
Later I realized that I had misjudged her. She is full of tricks, like a hornet's nest. Whoever gets involved with her will be in trouble."
Bu Shengyan curled her lips: "Don't you men like her type?"
Luo Yechen quickly cleared himself.
“What I hate most now is her set.
He doesn't say what he wants to say directly, but instead deliberately conceals the truth, causing misunderstandings. After something happens, he pretends to be innocent and knows nothing.
Fortunately, I saw her true face at the beginning, otherwise I would still be being played by her now!"
Bu Shengyan snorted, "You are so stupid, you deserve to be fooled."
Luo Yechen took a cautious step forward.
"Let's not stand here. Let me help you go in and sit down."
Bu Shengyan immediately took a step back with his crutches and said unhappily.
"No need, I specially asked you out today because I have something to tell you.
I originally planned to wait until after dinner to talk about it, but now it seems there is no need.
Let’s make this clear right here.”
Luo Yechen could probably guess what she wanted to say.
He said dryly, "I am at least half the owner of this place.
You came here as a guest, but I didn't even offer you a cup of tea. It's really outrageous.
Why don't we go inside and sit down, drink tea and talk slowly."
Bu Shengyan insisted: "I don't like drinking tea.
There's no one else here, so I'll just tell you what I want to say.
I want to cancel the engagement.
Once the marriage is called off, you can go and pursue your Fairy Xie without any worries, and I can stay at home and concentrate on taking care of my father.
From now on, we will not interfere with each other's business."
Luo Yechen was so angry at her attitude that he wanted to break up with her right then and there that he couldn't help but raise his voice.
"How many times do you want me to tell you that I have nothing to do with Xie Chuxue anymore?"
Bu Shengyan pursed her lips and said, "You two don't need to prove anything. I don't care anyway."
Luo Yechen sneered, "You are obviously jealous, and you still say you don't care? Who are you kidding?"
Bu Shengyan immediately became angry and embarrassed.
"Are you kidding me? I'm jealous? I will never be jealous in my life!"
Luo Yechen: "If you weren't jealous, would you have to be so angry?"
Bu Shengyan was so angry that she raised her hand and wanted to hit him.
Luo Yechen quickly stepped back: "What are you doing? You're fighting because you can't win the argument. What's wrong with you?!"
Bu Shengyan was leaning on a crutch and couldn't move, so she could only glare at him angrily.
"If you want me to marry you, it would take something lucky enough to fall from the sky!"
In the private room on the second floor.
Xiao Xixi looked at the pie in her hand, then looked at the two people standing below.
She raised her hand and threw the pie away.
Her aim was very good and she hit Luo Yechen on the forehead.
Luo Yechen was still thinking about how to refute Bu Shengyan's words when he felt something hot hit his forehead.
He subconsciously raised his hand to take it.
I found out it was a steaming pie!
Luo Yechen: “…”
Bu Shengyan: “…”
He asked for pie, and pie actually came.
They both raised their heads at the same time and looked toward the second-floor window.
They saw a young lady they had never seen before leaning on the window and waving at them.
The girl waved and smiled.
"My Lord, I can only help you up to this point!"
As soon as Luo Yechen heard the voice, he knew who it was. It must be Concubine Xiao!
But why did she change her face?
Seeing him standing there stupidly, Xiao Xixi urged him.
"What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and talk to Miss Bu. If you miss such a good opportunity, you'd better be prepared to be single for the rest of your life!"
Luo Yechen looked at the pie in his hand, then looked at Bu Shengyan who was standing opposite him.
Bu Shengyan's mind was in a mess.
Doesn’t she know who the young lady upstairs is?
And this pie that fell from the sky...
She was thinking about the pie when she saw Luo Yechen handing the pie to her.
Luo Yechen's face turned a little red.
He had never done anything so strange in his life.
But in order not to be single for the rest of his life, he still stiffened his neck and spoke loudly without backing down.
"You just said that you would marry me if a pie fell from the sky. Now that the pie has fallen from the sky, your words should be counted, right?"
Bu Shengyan's face also turned red, and she said helplessly: "I was just making an analogy just now."
Luo Yechen: "But I took it seriously."
Bu Shengyan: “…”
Luo Yechen continued to hand over the pie, without moving or urging her, just quietly waiting for her answer.
The palm of Bu Shengyan's hand that was holding the crutch was already sweating.
It's just a pie, but it's heavier than an imperial edict.
She spoke with difficulty: "Thank you for your kindness, but I can't accept it."
