He wore a gold-plated jade crown on his head and a gold mask on his face. He was dressed in a blue Frozen Silkworm brocade shirt, and on his robes were embroidered a few b.u.t.terflies. Purple b.u.t.terfly petals were fluttering in the air like ripples in the river, and the faint fragrance of orchids could be vaguely smelled from his body.
“Helan Qi?” Feng Zhiyao’s small body trembled slightly. G.o.d d.a.m.n, why did he call out her name so smoothly, as though he had called out her name many times!
“Yao’er, when did you and Young Master Helan get to know each other?” Xuanyuan Haoyu walked over angrily. He did not expect that the woman he desired would be so popular with a man, he only felt that his heart was sour at this moment.
“I… I don’t know him. ” It was true that she didn’t know him, and she had only seen him once from afar during the Blue Festival’s banquet. At that time, she had been the master of the Quhe House, so she was sure that she had never interacted with him before.
“Yao’er, come with me.” Helan Qi knew in his heart that at the moment, he should let her know who he was. Otherwise, Yao’er would still treat him as a stranger.
“Hey, Helan Qi, where are you bringing me to?” Feng Zhiyao was angry, does this man know that men should not be so rough with women!
“Naturally, it’s a good place.” Helan Qi reached out his arms and hugged her soft body. Once again, he nimbly jumped out of the window, and by the time others could react, the two had already disappeared.
When Situ Yelei saw this, he panicked. He had originally wanted to choose a few more days to go to the Prime Minister’s Mansion to place his betrothal gift, but he was afraid that he would run into too much trouble.
Although Wen Xingyuan had a good impression of her, but thinking that it was difficult to control this little girl, Feng Zhiyao, he couldn’t help but panic in his heart. The thoughts in his mind were the same as Situ Yelei’s.
Beitang Ziqian indicated towards Xuanyuan Haofei and said, “You don’t want a woman, but you actually want one.”
“Uncle, what do you mean?” Xuanyuan Haofei was furious, if not for his previous guilt towards Beitang Zixuan, she would not be willing to be with him at the start. However, he had taken away her virginity, so she had no choice but to marry him.
But just because he, Xuanyuan Haofei, can tolerate you, doesn’t mean that you, Beitang Ziqian, can humiliate others like this! Therefore, Xuanyuan Haofei was furious. He wanted to use his sword to fight Beitang Ziqian who had broken his lips.
Seventh brother, Zi Qian, you two stop quarreling. Today is the first day that Yao’er will open her shop, so Yao’er has already said it before. Xuanyuan Haoyu remembered Feng Zhiyao’s instructions, and casually said a few words with a smile. His heart was anxious. Young Master Helan? How did the two of them know each other? Furthermore, during the Blue Festival’s banquet, Yao’er did not partic.i.p.ate in it due to illness. So the only explanation would be that Yao’er had gotten acquainted with the Helan Patriarch a long time ago?
“For Ninth Brother’s sake, I won’t bother with you.” Xuanyuan Haofei flung his sleeves and walked down the stairs. He had already made an appointment with Miss Qianyu of Red House today, and he was only here to take a walk. Now that the main culprit was not here, he naturally had to retreat.
Because of the matters with Beitang Zixuan, Beitang Ziqian had always been prejudiced against him. Thus, he smiled and said goodbye to Xuanyuan Haoyu, as he did not want to chat with Wen Xingyuan who was drinking to the brim.
“Brother Mo, I didn’t expect to meet you here.” Although Xuanyuan Haoyu was anxious to be taken away by Feng Zhiyao, he had a strong premonition that she would think of a way to return here. Thus, he did not plan to use his spirit dog blanket search.
“That’s right, I just heard that there was a novel chicken soup store here. That’s why I came here, it seems like your business is not bad. The roasted chicken that Zhiyao made, that craftsmanship is really good.” Mo Ranbai stood with his hands behind his back, looking out the window at the peach tree, and said indifferently. It seemed to be the longest sentence he had ever spoken.
After Xuanyuan Haoyu heard this, he once again carefully looked at this friend who had a pretty good relationship with him. It was just that he was a little surprised, “When did you meet Yao’er?”
“Yesterday.” After that, Mo Ranbai did not say anymore, and so if he did not want to say anything, Xuanyuan Haoyu could not continue his line of questioning.
On the day of the opening of the First Soup Retaurant of Xian Yang, many high ranking n.o.ble Madame s came, naturally for the sake of Huang Jiuzi. As a result, the shopkeeper and Zi Yun were busy making rounds.
Xuanyuan Haoyu saw that Feng Zhiyao had already been gone for an hour and still had not returned to the shop, and a sense of unease immediately welled up in his heart. He was worried that something would happen to Yao’er, hence he paced around the room with his hands behind his back.
Furthermore, ever since Feng Zhiyao had been carried out by Helan Qi, she had been worrying deeply. However, the most common feeling was that she was scared, that it was him!
After all, she was the one who chased him away!
Arriving in front of a silver waterfall, only then did Helan Qi gently put Feng Zhiyao down.
“Yao’er, do you remember who I am?” Helan Qi smelled the fragrance of the orchid mixed within, making her feel absent-minded for a moment.
“You … You’re wearing a mask. I… I don’t know. I want to go back to the store. ” Feng Zhiyao really didn’t want it to be him. If the Young Master of the Helan Family in front of her was him, then she would never be able to think of escaping from him in her entire life.
“Yao’er, do you really have to force me to take off my mask?” Yeah, he once forced himself to forget about this woman, but unfortunately, his love for her had already been deeply rooted, and was growing in his heart like a vine.
“You … Your voice. Ye Weiyang? ” Could it really be Ye Weiyang?
“Yao’er, have you finally remembered who I am?” Helan Qi saw that Feng Zhiyao’s face was pale white, and immediately hugged her tightly.
“Ye, Wu, Yang.” Feng Zhiyao held back her tears and spoke word by word.
“Yao’er, you still remember me. That’s great!” Ye Weiyang, who was also Helan Qi, upon hearing this, excitedly used his stubble from work to poke Feng Zhiyao’s rosy cheeks, making her cry out in pain.
“No, don’t do that.” Feng Zhiyao objected.
“Yao’er, do you blame me for not telling you my true ident.i.ty?” Helan Qi asked worriedly as he raised his hand to brush away the hair on her face.
“I don’t blame you. Everyone has their own secrets.” Feng Zhiyao didn’t seem to want to know either, so she slowly raised her eyebrows and smiled, allowing Helan Qi’s heartbeat to speed up even more.
“Yao’er, I already love you so much that I can’t pull myself out of it. Even if you don’t want to marry me, I also don’t want to marry anyone else. This is good too, I’m willing to always stay by your side.” Helan Qi only felt annoyed at the time. But now that he had met the girl he liked, he had changed his mind and hoped that Yao’er would marry him one day.
He was so in love that he couldn’t pull himself out, and yet he still chose to go to the Blue Festival’s talent show.
However, she would not say it!
As long as he didn’t force her to lend it to him, she could forgive everything she did to him.
“Oh right, since you are a Young Master from the Helan Family, why did you go to the Night Rakshasa to coax that beggar master of yours?” Feng Zhiyao was confused.
“Night Rakshasa belongs to the Helan Family. When you’re in a bad mood, just go there and play a bit. ” Helan Qi could only say that he wanted to play twice, and that was to take out the Yang Swallowing Divine Record for a quest or something.
“Then what about your personal Spirit Serpent Sword? Where did you go? ” she asked again.
“Since I have already decided to act Helan Qi, then naturally, I will keep the Spirit Serpent Sword as well.” Helan Qi sighed, he did not know what he should do to make Yao’er accept him again.
“Alright, I’ve finished asking my questions. It’s time for me to go back to my business.” Even if Feng Zhiyao didn’t raise her head, she knew that Helan Qi’s eyes were burning hot.
“Why don’t you ask me why are the patriarchs and princes unable to recognize my voice?” Helan Qi pulled her along and sat down on a big rock.
“You ate the voice-changing pill.” Feng Zhiyao guessed as she recalled the matter regarding the voice-changing pills that the Uncle Xian had mentioned.
“Wrong, I know how to speak.” Then, Helan Qi casually learnt the Frog’s Cry, which made Feng Zhiyao smile.
“So you also know how to speak.” Feng Zhiyao suddenly felt that fate was a strange thing.
“Yao’er knows it too?” he said in surprise.
“Yeah.” Following that, Feng Zhiyao imitated Ye Weiyang’s voice and really learnt vividly.
“Yao’er, how could I be willing to give up on such a clever you? In the future, no matter how much you chase me away, I won’t leave! You know that I didn’t see your figure on the Blue Festival, so my heart broke. I drank a lot of alcohol, and hope that when I’m drunk, I can see your gentle and light smile, and can see you sweetly calling me Weiyang, Weiyang, Yao’er, I smashed that basin of jade colored blood orchids, and from start to finish, you are the only woman I want! ”
Helan Qi turned his head and stared deeply at her, a voice in his heart encouraging him. Even if he couldn’t become the Young Master of the Helan Family, he still wanted to be with Feng Zhiyao.
“Weiyang, you don’t need to smash that basin of Jade-colored Blood Orchid. Such a rare item, you can sell it for a sky-high price!” When Feng Zhiyao heard that the expensive Jadeite Blood Orchid had been smashed into pieces by him, he immediately became displeased.
She wondered if this guy had too much silver?
“Yao’er, don’t worry, the betrothal gift I gave you is definitely something extremely expensive!” Helan Qi held onto her slender waist with one hand and used his other hand to stroke the few strands of hair on her forehead as he smiled dotingly.
A betrothal gift?
Now that she heard these two words, her little heart thumped loudly.
“This… I… We were just saying that the basin of jade colored Blood Orchid that you smashed had nothing to do with the betrothal gift, right? ” Feng Zhiyao stuttered for the first time. She knew why she was doing this, it was because she was scared of those men, wasn’t it just eating them?
“Yao’er, you like silver, right?” Helan Qi said with emphasis.
“That’s right!” She didn’t deny this. Who wouldn’t love silver?
“That’s good, since your father thought that I was pretty good when I was still an a.s.sa.s.sin. Now that I’m in front of him with my ident.i.ty as Helan Qi, he will definitely agree to it.” Helan Qi used his large palm to wrap around her small palm, gently stroking it, his eyes filled with a smile.
“This… I don’t know… Ugh … “We’ll talk about it when the time comes…” Feng Zhiyao vaguely replied, but in fact, he was thinking of a countermeasure.
Although she loved Ye Weiyang, she would not agree to let her marry him!
“Yao’er, are you agreeing that I should go to Prime Minister’s Mansion to get a betrothal gift?” Helan Qi sounded surprised. After not seeing her for a while, had her personality changed? Her att.i.tude before was very unyielding, but now she agreed to him. Could it be that there was something fishy about this?
“Weiyang, can you not mention about this? “We haven’t seen each other for a long time. You keep pestering people to say these annoying things, and you don’t know how to be considerate.” Feng Zhiyao started to be lazy. In truth, she despised herself a lot too, she only wanted to wipe the beautiful guy dry, but she didn’t want to get married and reverse the path of marriage.
At the end of the day, she was still extremely afraid of the troublesome rules of the ancient era like ‘The Three Virtue and Four Virtue’. Even if she didn’t get married, there wouldn’t be any trouble, so she continued to hug on to the beauty of the man.
Then, Feng Zhiyao’s fist landed on his abdomen.
