Helian Yun's face suddenly turned ugly, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were cold as he said, "Ninth brother, be careful with your words! When did I have any affair with another woman?! I was busy with other things just now, and I didn't know Xi'er would be entangled by Ouyang Zuo today..."
"Don't know? Then Fifth Brother is really not a good husband. Oh, no, Xi'er hasn't married yet, so you can't be considered her husband. But since you are not husband and wife yet, it seems reasonable for you to be busy with other women's affairs."
"you……"
Although Helian Yun was angry, he knew there was no need to argue with Helian Sheng. Instead, he looked at Duan Qingxi and explained, "Xi'er, I really didn't know that Ouyang Zuo had come to the capital and dared to treat you like this! I was really busy with other things just now, so I didn't notice Qiao Yun. You won't blame me, right?"
Duan Qingxi shook his head, "It's okay..."
Originally, she didn't expect Helian Yun to come and help her immediately. After all, she didn't like Helian Yun. The reason why Qiao Yun could call him was because they were still engaged, and it was perfect to use him to stop Ouyang Zuo.
But since Helian Sheng has already helped him deal with the matter, she naturally won't worry about it anymore.
Although Duan Qingxi said this, Helian Yun's mood not only did not improve, but became worse.
If Duan Qingxi made trouble with him and asked him why he came just now, it would still prove that Duan Qingxi cared about him.
But she didn't make a fuss and looked as if she didn't care at all, which clearly showed that she didn't care about him at all.
However, he couldn't possibly get angry with Duan Qingxi because of these things, so he said gently: "Then I will take you back to the General's Mansion now?"
Duan Qingxi said, "No, I came out to take care of something. Now that Ouyang Zuo is gone, I have my own things to do. You can go do yours."
The expression on Helian Yun's face was almost unbearable, especially when he met Helian Sheng's mocking gaze, he clenched his fists even tighter.
He said stiffly, "Then I'll accompany you?"
As he spoke, he was afraid that Duan Qingxi would reject him, so he added, "Xi'er, we are engaged. Accompanying you to do something is what I, your husband, should do. Please don't reject me, okay?"
Duan Qingxi was suddenly in a dilemma. If she refused, Helian Yun would feel bad. If he got angry and ruined her plans, that would be troublesome.
But if she doesn’t refuse...it’s not convenient for her to take him with her when she’s going to do something!
After thinking for a moment, Duan Qingxi said, "Well... that's fine. Actually, I don't have anything else to do. I'm just worried about delaying your work. I just want to buy some rouge and powder and go shopping. Do you want to come with me?"
Helian Yun's expression brightened when he saw that Duan Qingxi did not reject him.
He nodded and said, "Of course, I'm willing to accompany you no matter what you want to do."
Duan Qingxi felt a little embarrassed by his corny love talk. She cleared her throat and looked at Helian Sheng, "Then the Ninth Prince..."
"I was just passing by and now I have to go back to the Ninth Prince's Palace."
Hearing this, Duan Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s good. It would be awkward if Helian Sheng also wanted to go with them!
Although she didn't like Helian Yun very much and they were using each other, the two of them were engaged after all, and Helian Sheng said he liked him. It was quite strange to see the three of them mixed together.
Anyway, she personally couldn't accept it...
"Then... then, Lord Ninth Prince, take care. We are leaving too."
"Um."
