Chapter 44 Hiding from me? Hmm?
Although Shen Qingnian did not look up, she could sense a gaze fixed on her.
She clenched her fists tightly and looked up in Xie Yanzhi's direction.
Seeing Xie Yanzhi staring at her without moving, the sharp light in his eyes seemed to pierce through her.
A chill ran through me.
Shen Qingnian could hardly sit still.
She saw that the old lady was also looking at her, her eyebrows and eyes smiling, her eyes revealing a hint of joy.
He seemed quite satisfied with her.
Shen Qingnian squeezed the handkerchief, her heart skipping a beat.
She was certain that even if she refused Xie Yanzhi to his face today, the old lady would still force her to become his concubine.
She couldn't help but bite her lip.
"My grandson hasn't chosen anyone yet, but he doesn't want someone with a too-thin waist, too short legs, or too plain clothes."
After speaking, Xie Yanzhi slowly withdrew his gaze, pretending not to care, picked up the tea on the table, and took a small sip.
But just as the teacup was about to touch her lips, she glanced at Shen Qingnian.
He caught a glimpse of Shen Qingnian's face, which was slightly flushed, like the cherry he loved, delicate and endearing.
Shen Qingnian was almost about to stand up and righteously refuse him.
As a result, he deliberately played a trick on her!
They mocked her in various ways, saying things like she didn't like women with slim waists or plain clothes.
When has he ever not put his arm around her waist?
He's always spouting nonsense!
Looking at Xie Yanzhi's serious demeanor, Shen Qingnian thought to herself: What a hypocrite!
The old lady glanced at Shen Qingnian.
Her waist was as slender as a willow branch, so delicate that it could be encircled by one hand.
Today, Qingyatou wore a pale yellow long dress, and apart from a silver hairpin, there was nothing else in her hair; her attire was indeed too plain.
Although she wasn't as tall as Yan Ge'er, she was still considered tall for a woman, and her legs weren't short.
The old lady's face immediately fell; it turned out to be a false alarm.
She glanced at Shen Qingnian again, pouted, and thought to herself, "Another useless one!"
Madam Xue thought Xie Yanzhi wanted to take Shen Qingnian as a concubine, and she felt indignant on behalf of Gu Lingyu.
It seems that Xie Yanzhi doesn't like Shen Qingnian, but rather dislikes her.
She said, "How could a girl from the countryside possibly compare to a noble lady from the capital?"
After talking for a while, the old lady told everyone to go back and rest.
After the First Madam and the others left first, Shen Qingnian came out of the Wenxin Hall.
Ling'er went to the back room with the old lady's maid to collect her things, leaving her to go back to her aunt's courtyard alone.
She glanced at the First Madam and Xie Yanzhi ahead and deliberately slowed her pace.
Thinking about what had just happened, Shen Qingnian's legs still felt a little weak.
She was also afraid that Xie Yanzhi was waiting for her and would hold her accountable.
Fortunately, Xie Yanzhi strode forward as if he had the wind on his feet, showing no intention of waiting for her.
Shen Qingnian followed at a distance until Xie Yanzhi's figure disappeared around the corner of the garden, then she hurried towards Aunt Su's courtyard.
Perhaps still shaken, she walked faster than a rabbit.
Suddenly, a figure appeared, covered her mouth, and pulled her into the artificial hill.
Shen Qingnian felt the oppressive feeling coming towards her, and her back was covered in cold sweat.
The space inside the artificial hill was small, and she and Xie Yanzhi were very close, their breaths mingling. Shen Qingnian felt like she was about to suffocate.
Xie Yanzhi looked into her eyes and said in a low voice, "Avoiding me? Hmm?"
Shen Qingnian avoided his gaze, feeling somewhat guilty, and said, "I wasn't avoiding him, I... I just hadn't thought it through."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Xie Yanzhi suddenly lunged at her, pressing his lips against hers.
Shen Qingnian struggled backward, feeling like she couldn't breathe.
She pounded on Xie Yanzhi with her hands, but it had no effect.
In return, he kissed her even more unrestrainedly.
I kissed her face, her neck, and all the way down...
Xie Yanzhi tightened his arms around her waist, binding her hands and preventing her from escaping.
He missed her so much these past few days that he couldn't control himself.
Shen Qingnian felt violated, her back ached, and tears streamed down her face.
As if satisfied, Xie Yanzhi finally stopped.
Looking at the person in front of me, their lips were wet with a layer of water stains.
Her lips, originally pink, became a vibrant, luscious red under his force.
The redness and swelling made it appear even fuller.
His throat bobbed.
Shen Qingnian cried silently, tears streaming down her face, looking extremely aggrieved.
Xie Yanzhi pursed his lips.
She brought it all on herself!
Xie Yanzhi held her close, pressed her face into his chest, and patted her back to comfort her.
"Will you still hide from me in the future?" he asked, leaning close to her ear.
Shen Qingnian lowered her head and remained silent, nudging Xie Yanzhi with her hand.
He remained unmoved, instead tightening his grip on her even more: "You're not allowed to dodge until you've thought it through."
"Or, you can move into my yard first, and then think about it slowly."
Upon hearing her say that, Shen Qingnian immediately raised her head, her eyes filled with sorrow.
"You always push me like this!"
"You're still bullying me like this!"
She was terrified of him today at the Wenxin Hall.
Xie Yanzhi knew she was unwilling. He just wanted to teach her a lesson.
"My patience is also limited."
"If you keep pissing me off like this, I won't care whether you like it or not."
He, as the heir apparent, has already given her plenty of patience.
When has he ever felt so frustrated?
Looking at Shen Qingnian's porcelain-white face with tears in her eyes, he realized that his actions just now had been somewhat reckless.
Xie Yanzhi used his sleeve to wipe away Shen Qingnian's tears: "I was just trying to scare you today, don't cry anymore."
Shen Qingnian slapped his hand away and turned her head away, ignoring him.
"Move back to Qianyue Residence as soon as possible."
Seeing that Shen Qingnian still ignored him.
Xie Yanzhi then said two more harsh words: "Otherwise, I'll go find you in Aunt Su's courtyard!"
"Even if you don't want to, Aunt Su will have no choice but to send you to my courtyard!"
Shen Qingnian was a little annoyed and could only turn around and look at him: "The house hasn't been repaired yet, how am I supposed to go back?"
Xie Yanzhi raised the corners of his mouth: "You can move back tomorrow. I'll come see you again tonight."
Xie Yanzhi held Shen Qingnian for a while longer before letting her go back.
Early the next morning, Yuan Qing came over to help Shen Qingnian and Ling'er move their things.
Just as Xie Yanzhi had said, Qian Yue Ju was repaired in a single day.
Yuan Qing eagerly took the bundle from Ling'er's hands and followed the two of them to Qian Yue Residence.
He actually felt quite guilty.
The master said he wanted him to come and help move things, but actually he wanted him to come and watch Qing move back to Qianyue Residence.
That way, Grandpa won't have to go looking for something that turns out to be empty-handed again at night.
Yuan Qing felt like he was an accomplice of his master, forcing a weak woman to submit.
He glanced at the figure with the hair in twin buns from behind, and thought to himself:
Fortunately, Ling'er is still young and doesn't know anything, otherwise, he would never have the face to appear in front of her again.
In order to gain some favor for Xie Yanzhi in front of Shen Qingnian.
He glanced at the Qianyue Residence not far away and said to Shen Qingnian, "Miss Qing, this time the young master has spent a lot of money to renovate the Qianyue Residence."
"Will you be satisfied with it later?"
"Was it the Crown Prince who provided the money? Wasn't it the eldest son who allocated the funds?" Shen Qingnian asked, somewhat surprised.
No wonder Xie Yanzhi was so confident that Qianyue Residence could be repaired quickly.
"Qianyue Residence is so dilapidated that the money allocated by the First Madam is simply not enough."
"After the young master found out, he paid some of his own money."
As they spoke, they arrived at the front of Asahi Residence.
As soon as Ling'er entered the room, she covered her mouth.
