Chapter 199 I like you
That night.
Song Shiwei held a banquet in her mansion to celebrate Xiao Jingheng being named regent, and all those who came to the banquet were their friends.
In the garden, several girls sat together and chatted.
Song Shiwei brought the topic to Tao Wenyuan and asked, "Sister Tao, have you set a date for your wedding with Lord Han?"
Tao Wenyuan smiled and said, "I asked someone to calculate it, and it turns out that there will be good days at the end of the year."
"Congratulations to Sister Tao."
Song Shiwei said as she looked at Han Qingyan who was sitting opposite her and said, "I have to congratulate Lord Han for finally seeing the moon after the clouds have cleared."
Han Qingyan smiled slightly: "It is thanks to you and the prince that A Yuan and I can achieve our goal."
Qin Muyan, who was sitting next to him, muttered, "I want to get married too."
He asked Ye Xun'an, who had been silent and drinking, "May I ask, Your Highness, when do you Beiming plan to leave the capital?"
Since everyone present was their own people, Ye Xun'an's identity was not deliberately concealed.
But Qin Muyan's question was somewhat personal.
Ye Xun'an: "..."
The envoy team from Beiming hasn't even entered the capital yet, but Qin Muyan is already impatient to let him go. Is he so unpopular?
"Master Qin is so anxious to get me out, are you afraid that I will snatch the princess from you?"
Ye Xun'an asked bluntly.
Qin Muyan smiled and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince misunderstood. What I meant was that if you are not in a hurry to leave, you can stay and drink at my sister's wedding."
As soon as she finished speaking, countless pairs of eyes turned over, and even Qin Yueyao herself was surprised. How come she didn't know that she was going to get married?
Tao Wenyuan was a little surprised and asked, "Sister Qin's marriage has been decided?
Whose son is he? How come he hid himself so well that I didn't even know anything about him."
Qin Muyan raised his lips and said, "It's the upstart that His Majesty recently promoted, Lord Cui Xingjian.
This person comes from a prominent family, has a gentle temperament, and a handsome appearance. His future is limitless.
My father and I both think that this man is a good match, and as long as my sister agrees, the marriage will be settled."
Tao Wenyuan had heard of Cui Xingjian's name. This man came from a noble family but chose to be a military general, which showed that he was no ordinary person.
She asked Qin Yueyao: "Sister Qin, what do you think of Lord Cui?"
Qin Yueyao felt a headache when she saw everyone's gazes. Was her brother going to force her to make a choice in public?
She subconsciously looked at Ye Xun'an and saw that there was nothing unusual on his face, as if he didn't care who she would marry.
Qin Yueyao lowered her eyes and said, "Daddy and brother will decide."
"Very good."
Qin Muyan raised his eyebrows, looked at Ye Xun'an provocatively and said, "Tomorrow I will invite Lord Cui to come to my house to discuss marriage."
Ye Xun'an tightened his grip on the cup suddenly, and with a snap, the high-quality white porcelain cup shattered in his hand.
He stood up calmly, brushing his sleeves and saying, "I'm sorry, I have to excuse myself for a moment."
Qin Yueyao was a little dazed as she watched him leave, and then she heard Song Shiwei calling her, "Sister Qin, I'll toast you a glass."
She came to her senses and tried to get the tea on the table, but her wrist suddenly lost strength and the cup of tea spilled all over her body, staining her dress.
Song Shiwei hurriedly said, "Sister Qin, your clothes are dirty. Let me take you to change."
She pulled Qin Yueyao away from the table.
Song Shiwei brought her to the room, found some clean clothes for her and said, "Sister Qin, have you forgotten what I told you? The more you act like you don't care, the more anxious my brother will be."
Qin Yueyao found it really difficult. When her brother asked her if she agreed to marry Cui Xingjian, she even wanted to say that she already had a lover.
She asked Song Shiwei: "Am I useless?"
Song Shiwei took the trouble to arrange such a banquet for her, actually she just wanted to help her test Ye Xun'an's feelings. It was her own fault.
"Sister Qin, you are really trapped."
Song Shiwei couldn't imagine how things would end between them if his brother remained so calm and composed.
Ye Xun'an is indeed the prince trained by her father. How could such a person be easily deceived by love?
Maybe, she shouldn't have given such blind advice. She was too confident and thought she could help Qin Yueyao take down Ye Xun'an.
She patted Qin Yueyao's hand and said, "It's okay. We have tried our best anyway. It's not too late to withdraw now."
Qin Yueyao nodded: "You go back first, I want to be alone for a while."
At this moment, she was in no mood to go back to the banquet.
Although Song Shiwei was worried about her, she also knew that Qin Yueyao needed some time alone to think things over, so she returned to her seat.
After Song Shiwei left, Qin Yueyao left the yard. She walked aimlessly around the mansion until she came to the pond.
From a distance, I saw a man standing in the pavilion. It was Ye Xun'an. He had not returned yet.
She stood there quietly, looking at his back in the moonlight.
Perhaps he noticed something, the person in the pavilion turned around and saw the person standing on the Nine-Curved Corridor.
The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on her body, making her look like a fairy who had strayed into the mortal world.
Qin Yueyao walked over and asked, "Why are you here alone?"
Ye Xun'an looked at her and finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "Are you really going to marry Cui Xingjian? Do you like him?"
Qin Yueyao's eyes turned red, and she shook her head and said, "If I don't like him, I won't marry him. I said that on purpose for you to hear."
Ye Xun'an already knew this was the case, but faced with her sudden confession, he was a little at a loss.
Qin Yueyao said: "I want to know how you reacted when you heard that I was getting married. Do you care a little bit?
I know clearly that there is a huge distance between you and me, and I shouldn't have any delusions.
But I just can't help it. If I don't say something, I might regret it for the rest of my life."
She looked at Ye Xun'an, tears in her eyes, and said, "Big brother, I like you."
With a loud bang, Ye Xun'an could hear the sound of the walls of his heart shattering.
He once thought that his heart was indestructible, but now it was shattered because of her words.
The roaring tide of love was so violent and unbridled that he had no way to resist.
His eyes suddenly darkened. He clasped Qin Yueyao's slender waist with his big hands, held her in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her lips.
The hot lips with a hint of wine made Qin Yueyao intoxicated. She was a little at a loss and could only indulge in it.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Xun'an finally let her go. His heavy breathing fell beside her ears, but his tone was very serious: "This is a kiss, remember?"
Qin Yueyao's cheeks turned red. Was he dissatisfied with the fact that the kiss she gave him on the street was too perfunctory?
She curled her lips and said, "Now I know."
She had no experience before, so it seemed that Shi Wei was right. It was not that he did not react, but that he did not react in time.
