Yun Chuwei looked at Li Yuanmu with a very calm expression.
She smiled and said, "Second Young Master, don't say things like 'I like you' so easily. What if you really meet a girl you like someday?"
Li Yuanmu opened his eyes and looked at Yun Chuwei.
The woman stood at the doorway, the red lantern illuminating her face. A faint smile graced her exquisite features, clearly indicating that she hadn't taken his words seriously.
Li Yuanmu felt a sudden tightness in his chest.
He quickly explained, "Miss Yun, I'm not joking, I'm serious! Although I don't know why, I really..."
Li Yuanmu fell silent at this point.
Yun Chuwei's smile faded as she watched him try to explain.
She looked at Li Yuanmu and asked seriously, "Are you telling the truth?"
Li Yuanmu stared intently at Yun Chuwei and nodded seriously.
Yun Chuwei showed a slightly surprised expression: "Second Young Master, you and your eldest brother initially approached me because your father assigned you some kind of 'mission,' right? Could it be that you heard your father emphasize the 'mission' too many times, so you developed some kind of misconception?"
The two men, shirtless, were posing provocatively in the courtyard where she was staying. She knew exactly what they wanted to do.
They just see through it but don't say it.
She didn't take it seriously, so why did Li Yuanmu take it seriously?
Li Yuanmu immediately retorted, "No! That's not true! This isn't an illusion!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Chuwei pursed her lips slightly, then said directly, "Fine, I don't care if you're mistaken or not. I just want to tell you, I don't like you. Besides, I'm engaged!"
Li Yuanmu was stunned when he heard this.
After Yun Chuwei finished speaking, she prepared to leave.
Seeing that she was about to turn away, Li Yuanmu quickly said, "Miss Yun, if you need, I can also... be your lover... I don't need any title!"
Yun Chuwei: ...
That's a good point, but maybe you shouldn't say it again next time?
She sighed helplessly and said, "I don't need it."
She's a dying woman, what does she need a lover for!
No, even if she wasn't dying, she shouldn't have a lover.
How can a Taoist have a lover?
Li Yuanmu's face paled, and the original color had almost completely disappeared.
He murmured, "Why could that assassin do it? Why can't I? Why?"
Yun Chuwei: ...
An assassin? Does that refer to Xie Xuan?
Xie Xuan's identity cannot be exposed, so she cannot explain this matter.
So she simply walked into the courtyard without saying anything.
She had just stepped into the corridor when her hand was grabbed.
The next moment, she was pulled to a pillar in the corridor, trapped between the pillar and a warm embrace.
It was a man's embrace, carrying the fresh scent of mint.
Because the man's scent was familiar, she didn't panic.
She simply reached out and pressed against the man's chest, trying to push him away.
The man seemed to have anticipated her movements, pressing his entire body against her, his large hand gripping her waist, tightly imprisoning her.
She frowned: "Xie Xuan, let go!"
Xie Xuan didn't let go; instead, he held her even tighter.
He buried his head in her shoulder and said in a hoarse voice, "Weiwei, I really know I was wrong. Can you forgive me?"
Yun Chuwei recalled that morning when he called her "Miss Yun," and a smile played on her lips. She said, "You call me Weiwei? Weren't you quite polite that day, calling me 'Miss Yun'? Don't you know how to be polite now?"
Xie Xuan: ...
He didn't mean to upset her that day.
He suddenly learned about those things, and his mind was in a mess; he didn't know how to face it.
After thinking it over carefully, he realized that Yun Chuwei was right. If they wanted to find out the truth, Jiang Wanqiu and Huo Qingjue had to stay alive.
Moreover, since it has been determined that these two were acting under someone else's orders, killing them would be pointless.
Even if they are gone, there will be others.
As for the truth...
Let's find out more before we talk about it.
If it turns out that Yun Chuwei was behind it... he didn't know what to do.
He was unwilling to let go of Yun Chuwei's hand until he had found out the truth.
“Weiwei, I know I was wrong… Please forgive me this time, okay… I beg you…” His deep voice carried a hint of pleading.
Yun Chuwei felt his head gently rubbing against her shoulder, and then heard him pleading softly.
I couldn't bear to blame him.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xie Xuan's voice became choked with emotion.
"Weiwei, I feel terrible... I feel so terrible..."
Yun Chuwei felt him trembling slightly and became nervous as well.
She reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, asking softly, "Where does it hurt?"
"I feel uncomfortable all over when you ignore me." Xie Xuan tightened her grip on Yun Chuwei's hand, her voice full of grievance.
It's been like this for days.
He felt uncomfortable when she ignored him.
It felt as if millions of ants were gnawing at his heart, hands, feet, and the flesh of his entire body.
"Weiwei, please pay attention to me, okay?" His voice trembled.
Seeing that his discomfort seemed genuine, Yun Chuwei whispered, "Let me go first, let me see!"
She didn't think that ignoring Xie Xuan would make him feel uncomfortable.
She wondered if there was something wrong with his health.
As she thought about it, she pulled Xie Xuan's hand away and took his pulse.
Although her medical skills weren't great, taking a pulse wasn't difficult for her.
The results of the pulse diagnosis...
She only felt that Xie Xuan's pulse was a little fast, but there was nothing seriously wrong.
