Chapter 372: The Angry Warlords of the Republic of China vs. the Educated and Well-mannered Overseas Daughter 28
Si Jinnian's expression remained unchanged. He held the wine glass in one hand and held her wrist tightly with the other, keeping her there.
Just this one action made everyone present nervous.
What does this mean, Master San?
Quan Jiu's gaze moved up along Si Jinnian's arm and finally fell on his face.
Their eyes met, and they were both stunned.
The man's black eyes were as calm as the deep sea at night, bottomless.
He raised the red wine glass in his hand and stuffed it directly into Quan Jiu's hand. Then he let go of Quan Jiu's wrist, stood up straight, and said in a light tone.
"No need to leave, drink mine."
The expressions of several commanders instantly became very interesting.
Quan Jiu scolded Fan Lingyu, but Si Jinnian not only did not ask her to apologize, but when Quan Jiu chose to back down, he grabbed her hand and gave her the confidence to stay.
What does it mean to protect?
This is called partiality.
Quan Jiu pursed his lips. He didn't expect Si Jinnian to go to this extent.
Everyone knew that Fan Sheng was forcing him to make a choice. In order not to embarrass him, she took a step back. However, she never expected that this man would actually make the most disadvantageous choice for him in front of everyone...
Si Jinnian saw her holding the wine glass, her face tense, and not moving for a long time. He glanced at her calmly:
"Don't you want to drink?"
He spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if he was unaware of the tense atmosphere and was merely worried about a glass of wine.
Quan Jiu raised his glass and took a sip. He didn't know what he was thinking and didn't say anything.
Commander Du watched the interaction between the two and suddenly spoke meaningfully:
"Master San and Miss Liu are very affectionate."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Fan Sheng's expression changed completely.
Smart people know that this is a battle without gunpowder. He was originally full of confidence that Si Jinnian would definitely choose the Fan family, but reality gave him a loud slap in the face.
Fan Sheng's tone was a little cold: "It is indeed a loving relationship. Third Master, spend the rest of your life hugging your beauty."
You are unkind and I am unjust. Since you choose not to give me face, there is no need for me to curry favor with you.
When the other three commanders heard this, a smile appeared in their eyes.
Fan Sheng's attitude is very clear.
The marriage between the Si and Fan families has completely collapsed.
The group of people had their own ulterior motives, and soon they were dragged away by others to drink.
Quan Jiu took advantage of the time when no one was around and went to the quiet balcony in the corner to slack off, but after a while, she heard footsteps behind her.
She originally thought it was Si Jinnian, but unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw Li Yang's face.
"Son...Li Yang, why are you here?" A smile flashed in her eyes.
Although the Li family is not very good, Li Yang is a breath of fresh air.
Li Yang looked at the beautiful woman standing in the night breeze with a complicated expression:
"I heard what the Third Master said just now. It seems that he is sincere to you."
At first, he was just like everyone else in Jincheng, thinking that the Third Master was just interested and wanted to play with her.
Quan Jiu knew that he had not finished speaking, so he looked at him with a smile, waiting for his next words.
Li Yang clutched the sleeves of his suit, looking a little nervous. He seemed to have made up his mind, and looked up at Quan Jiu firmly:
"Miss Liu, are you sure you want to follow the Third Master? Although he treats you very well, it's too dangerous to stay with him. The Si and Fan families are at odds again. Although the Third Master is very powerful, we in China always believe in being outnumbered. The future domestic situation is unpredictable. It would be too hard for you to follow him..."
Quan Jiu just smiled and asked back:
"He broke up with the Fan family because of me, and now you want me to leave him alone just to protect myself?"
Li Yang also knew how selfish and ridiculous his words were, but he didn't want to see her in danger:
"After I take over the Li family, I will do my best to help the Third Master..."
Quan Jiu shook his head: "It's none of your business."
"It's none of my business!"
Li Yang's face flushed red, and he looked like he was ready to give it his all.
"Liu, Miss Liu, I...I like you."
He stuttered. It was his first time to confess his feelings, so he was inevitably a little nervous.
"Because I like you, I am very selfish. I just want you to live peacefully in this chaotic world."
It’s not easy to be the commander-in-chief’s woman.
When the war was going smoothly, the commander's wife was extremely powerful, but once the war was lost, she became a living target for the enemy.
Quan Jiu sighed deeply. He didn't expect that this day would come.
She couldn't help but speak to 001:
"What went wrong? Shouldn't the person he likes be Kong Manqing?"
001: "Butterfly Effect. If it weren't for you, he would probably have followed the plot and slowly fallen in love with Kong Manqing over the next two years."
Li Yang already had admiration for Kong Manqing. If Quan Jiu hadn't appeared out of nowhere, it would have been understandable that the two of them would have fallen in love with each other over time.
Quan Jiu sighed again, looked at the shy but brave young man in front of him, and took the initiative to speak:
"Thank you for your love. Believe me, Li Yang, you will meet someone better."
001: "Haha."
It's a standard rejection line.
The starlight in Li Yang's eyes suddenly went out, but he was still unwilling to give up. He looked at Quan Jiu and said dejectedly:
"Miss Liu, can't you really give me a chance?"
"cannot."
The man's cold and ruthless voice sounded from behind.
When Quan Jiu turned around, she saw Si Jinnian striding towards her with a cold look on his face. As if declaring his sovereignty, he put his arm around her waist and used his taunting skills to the fullest.
"Master Li, after studying abroad for several years, has returned with only this one thing he learned: stealing people's wives?"
Quan Jiu touched his nose guiltily: "..."
Strictly speaking, you, Mr. Si San, are the male mistress.
Li Yang didn't think there was anything wrong with confessing his feelings, but when he saw Si Jinnian, he inexplicably felt insecure, and his face turned even redder.
"Third Master..."
Si Jinnian hugged Quan Jiu and said without any hesitation:
"If you keep trying to get her, don't blame me for being rude to the Li family."
Quan Jiu pinched his waist and glared at him.
Could this brutal and fierce man be a little more polite to his son?
Si Jinnian grabbed her rebellious hand and said threateningly:
"Why, what did I say wrong?"
Let her make the choice clearly.
Quan Jiu gritted his teeth, smiling fakely: "Yes, you are right..."
Si Jinnian became more and more aggressive, looking at Li Yang with a cold face:
"Give me a kiss."
Quan Jiu: “???”
"Hmm?" He emphasized.
Quan Jiu was speechless. He didn't expect him to be so childish. He patted his face, lifted the man's chin, and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Si Jinnian frowned dissatisfiedly: "Not here."
Quan Jiu warned: "Don't go too far."
Si Jinnian didn't say anything. He just grabbed the woman's pointed chin and kissed her in front of Li Yang.
