Yanxu Tower.
Looking at the man with an unfriendly expression, Yanliu felt a little guilty and asked, "Why did you come here today with nothing on your mind?"
Xiao Yan glanced at her and asked, "What, are you afraid of me coming over?"
"What are you saying? I'm overjoyed that you're coming over." As Yanliu spoke, she leaned against him with a soft, boneless grace.
However, Xiao Yan pushed her away without any politeness.
"Having known each other for so long, I thought you would know my rules very well."
His voice was very calm. It was nothing like his usual carefree and irresponsible self; he was clearly very angry.
Yan Liu knew that she had touched a nerve this time.
She was also very upset. She never expected that her scheme, which risked being disliked by him, would end up benefiting someone else.
What's infuriating is that she was called away at the crucial moment last night, which gave someone an opportunity to take advantage of her. I wonder which vixen got the better deal?
Seeing that Xiao Yan's expression was really unpleasant, Yan Liu didn't dare to test his patience any further. In stark contrast to her previous alluring demeanor, she stood properly and kept her distance from him.
"Lord Jingguo, please calm down. What happened yesterday was just an accident, not what you think..." she tried to explain.
But how could Xiao Yan be fooled by her?
He sneered, "You dared to plot against me, you should know what the consequences would be."
Yan Liu's face changed, turning pale. She knelt down and said in a trembling voice, "Yesterday, I was blinded by greed. Please give me another chance. I won't do it again..."
"If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? If I give you a chance this time, you will definitely take chances and make the same mistake again next time." Xiao Yan remained unmoved. "Go, leave the capital, and don't let me see you again."
Seeing that there was no turning back, Yanliu's heart sank to the bottom. Looking at the man's unusually cold expression, she bit her lip and said bluntly, "Xiao Yan, you know I love you, so why are you so heartless to me? I did what I did because I love you. Is that wrong? Besides, you haven't lost anything..."
Xiao Yan laughed angrily, "Just because you like me, does that mean I deserve to be schemed against by you? There are so many people in this world who like me. According to you, if everyone who likes me tries to scheme against me, I should accept it? You're not me, so how do you know I haven't lost anything?"
Yan Liu was speechless, unable to respond.
Tears streamed down Yanliu's face. Seeing the man's heartless expression, she couldn't help but crawl a few steps toward him on her knees. "Duke, Yanliu was truly wrong this time. Please don't send me away..."
Xiao Yan said impatiently, "If I didn't refrain from hitting women, you wouldn't be standing here unharmed right now. Enough nonsense, get out of here, and don't let me see you again."
Having said that, he strode out of the house.
Yanliu's shoulders slumped, and she knelt there, completely distraught.
A short while later, two men walked in.
"Miss Yanliu, do you want to leave on your own, or do you want us to escort you?"
Yan Liu raised her eyes and glanced at them, then smiled bitterly. Xiao Yan was serious; he had even sent people to monitor her departure.
She wept silently, but she didn't regret what happened last night at all. She had liked Xiao Yan for a long time and longed to become his woman, but Xiao Yan, who seemed to be a dissolute man, didn't have that feeling for her at all.
She didn't want to wait any longer, which led to last night's design. Unfortunately, things went wrong at the crucial moment.
It seems that she and Xiao Yan were never meant to be.
