Chapter 170 Nothing has changed except the change of heart
Ji Qingwu asked again: "Where are they?"
Wei Ting knew how stubborn this woman was, sometimes even more stubborn than a bull.
He stretched out his hand, pointed inside the house, and gave her the answer.
Ji Qingwu looked back and saw that the door was closed and no sound came out. He didn't know what method Wei Ting used, but their lives should be safe.
She said, "General Wei barged directly into my courtyard. This is not appropriate."
Wei Ting asked back: "If I hand in my name card, will you meet me?"
Ji Qingwu didn't answer, his silence meant everything.
Wei Ting said: "There is nothing wrong with me coming here. I have been waiting for you here and have not delayed your discussion with the princess."
He had not just arrived. He happened to encounter Princess Huachang's carriage outside Ji's mansion and waited for her in Wutong Garden for a while.
Ji Qingwu knew that he could not blame the guards, because with the skills of General Wei Ting, who was the General of Zhenbei, it would be easy for him to sneak into the Ji Mansion.
She said with a slight annoyance: "This is the inner house of the Ji family. General Wei directly broke into a woman's boudoir. Isn't this an insult to the gentleman's demeanor?"
Wei Ting's smile widened visibly, as if he had heard a joke, but he still didn't take it seriously.
He shook his head and said, "Doctor Wu has always believed that I am an upright gentleman?"
Ji Qingwu didn't want to talk about the past anymore.
Just like what I said to Qiao, what’s past, let it go.
She believed that she did not owe Wei Ting anything for the mistake in the strategy, and at most she caused him some trouble.
Now, no matter what reason Wei Ting had for wanting to marry her, Ji Qingwu decided to make it clear.
"General Wei, what did you ask for at the morning court today?"
She said with a bright look in her eyes: "I won't agree."
Although Wei Ting was prepared for her to refuse, he was really shocked when he heard her speak so eloquently and say that she would not agree to marry him.
His face still sank, and he said sarcastically: "Doctor Wu was chasing me relentlessly before, why is he avoiding me now? Women's minds are really hard to understand. I just wanted to fulfill your wish five years ago, why did you reject me?"
Ji Qingwu raised his eyebrows and said, "General Wei also said that five years ago, people's hearts were most likely to change, not to mention that so many days and nights have passed."
Wei Ting rarely saw her being sharp-tongued in front of him. In the past, she was always gentle and submissive.
After many years in the army, he had already developed the murderous spirit that could intimidate the enemy.
He walked forward with no sign of diminishing momentum.
Ji Qingwu felt a chill on her back and bit her lower lip lightly, but she did not retreat. Instead, she looked back at him straight.
Wei Ting walked up to her and asked coldly, "The Fifth Doctor said that people's hearts are fickle. Have you changed your mind? Who do you like?"
Ji Qingwu's bright eyes flickered: "Nothing. Marriage is a matter of the will of the parties involved. I don't want to, so why should you make it difficult for me, General?"
Wei Ting sneered and moved a little closer to her.
"Fifth Doctor, you haven't changed much, you're still the same as always... so understandable."
Ji Qingwu felt that this was not a good thing to say, and said unceremoniously: "General Wei has changed a lot, but his mind is still so unpredictable."
Wei Ting's voice sank: "You are lying."
"You were lying when you said you loved me."
Ji Qingwu looked away first. It turned out that Wei Ting had always known that she was not sincere.
But after pretending for so long, who can tell for sure whether there is any sincerity mixed in?
Wei Ting stared at her soft profile and said in a low voice, "You are still lying if you say you don't have anyone you like."
Ji Qingwu's eyelashes trembled. When he said the word "change of heart" just now, the image of another person appeared in her mind.
But the more you try to hide your thoughts, the more you can’t hide them.
Ji Qingwu's eyes flickered even more violently, even brighter than the ripples on the surface of the water in the small pond not far away.
Wei Ting really laughed this time.
His tone was mocking, and it was unclear who he was mocking: "You really haven't changed at all except for your change of heart."
He lowered his head and moved closer, and saw that her face was even more beautiful than ever, like morning dew between flowers, crystal clear and beautiful beyond all human beauty.
“This face is still so deceptive.”
This distance was far beyond the safe range. Ji Qingwu took a step back uncomfortably, his tone threatening.
"We are in the Ji family. General Wei has to consider the Queen Mother's face when he acts."
But even if she moved out, Wei Ting didn't care.
"Why don't you keep your voice down? It would be better to shout so that everyone in the Ji family can come over and see. Then let everyone in the city know that I appeared in your yard."
He completely disregarded the Ji family's and the Queen Mother's reputation, nor did he care whether she was willing to marry him.
Ji Qingwu lowered her eyes and glanced at the flowers and plants in the fence at her feet. The grass with long branches and leaves had grown to half a person's height and was swaying at her lower back.
She reiterated: "General Wei, why did you come here? If you want to ask me what I think, I have already told you clearly that I don't want to get married."
Wei Ting said: "I'm not asking you about your opinion. I came here to confirm two things."
"The first one has been confirmed."
What did he confirm?
Ji Qingwu looked a little confused, but his left hand quietly turned behind his back and grasped something.
"Now, there is only the second piece left." Wei Ting's words rang out again.
"What is it?"
Wei Ting suddenly stretched out his hand and wanted to put his arm around her shoulders.
Ji Qingwu noticed his intention and moved closer to his arms.
Her words showed rejection of him, but her body took the initiative to move closer to him. Wei Ting was surprised, and for a moment, he looked at her in a daze.
Ji Qingwu raised his head, as if to cooperate with his intimate behavior, and raised his white left hand to gently touch his neck.
He felt her cool fingertips touching his skin, and with a barely perceptible tremor, she tapped lightly on his artery.
Wei Ting's arms were originally empty, but at this moment he subconsciously wanted to hold this sweet and soft thing in his arms.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound from the sycamore tree behind them that blocked out the sun.
A man in black clothes and with his face covered jumped down from the tree.
He swung the dagger in his hand quickly and separated Wei Ting and Ji Qingwu.
Ji Qingwu knew at a glance that this person was Sihai.
Unlike Sanchuan, Sihai's eyes were full of the youthful vigor and sharp like a freshly sharpened sword.
Seeing him appear, Wei Ting involuntarily took two steps back.
The man in black was very good at hiding his aura. Even he didn't notice where the other person was, but there was a glimmer of understanding in his eyes.
Ji Qingwu did not expect that the secret guards sent to her by the emperor would take action at this time.
If Sihai really wanted to fight with Wei Ting, he was still too immature. She walked to Sihai's side.
All emotions disappeared from Wei Ting's eyes, and a smile reappeared on his lips.
"At the morning court, there was a long line of men who wanted to marry you. How come you have another one at home?"
Ji Qingwu did not refute, but followed his words and smiled gently.
