The proprietress glanced towards Chu Fengqing’s position, and Ji Yujin also looked in the direction she was looking.
The moment he saw the person, he was slightly stunned. Although he couldn’t see the front, but the back looked very familiar. Almost instantly, the three big words “Chu Fengqing” appeared in his mind.
Impossible.
Ji Yujin frowned. How could that person, who was staying in the imperial city, come to this remote place? If he really dared to come to such a place alone without telling him, then…
He pressed his hands, and his joints made a crackling sound.
When that boy in green heard the sound, he felt a chill on his back.
Ji Yujin took a look and then turned his eyes away. Looking at the clothes he was wearing, the little bit of skin that was exposed was white and tender, he was obviously a young master.
He doesn’t know whose house’s young master was so completely unguarded, he was just lucky to run into them; otherwise, he would have been swallowed to the bone.
The world these days is dangerous, and their family members don’t even know how to teach their children. Tsk, they are not clever.
Seeing that he was not interested, the proprietress changed the subject to avoid any unexpected changes: “Would you like to stay overnight or just stop for a while?”
Ji Yujin: “Of course we’ll stay at the inn, but don’t hide the good wine and meat. Bring them all up. We’re not broke.”
As he spoke, he took out a gold ingot from his arms and placed it on the table with a “bang”. This immediately attracted the attention of the waiter and the proprietress, who stared at him in amazement.
The proprietress said, “Alright, please take a seat, there is plenty of good meat and wine.”
As she spoke, she was about to reach for the gold ingot, but Ji Yujin got it first: “Don’t worry, serve the food first.”
The proprietress rubbed her fingers and took her hand back, then called out with a smile: “Waiter—”
The waiter immediately understood, and the two exchanged glances, “Eh, gentlemen, go ahead and do your work first. I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare food for you.”
There were fifteen or sixteen people in the group, and once they sat down, they filled the room, leaving only a few empty seats at Chu Fengqing’s table.
Chu Fengqing’s heart was beating fast, and a trace of “disbelief” flashed across his cold face. Why was Ji Yujin here? Didn’t he go west? Wasn’t he on a business trip?
He originally thought that by the time Ji Yujin found him, he would already be in Jiangnan. By then, he would be far away, and he wouldn’t be able to do anything even if he was angry. It would be almost half a month by the time he returned, and by then, no matter how angry he was, he would have calmed down.
He just couldn’t understand how he could meet Ji Yujin despite being on two completely opposite paths.
Then he saw Ji Yujin patting the gold to ask for wine, and his head started to hurt again. Is that wine drinkable?
As for Ji Yujin, he was still wearing his iconic red clothes with his hair tied up high, looking like the man who was “riding a horse and leaning on a sloping bridge, with red sleeves waving on the building”.
If no one said anything, who would dare suspect that this man was the head of Xichang, an eunuch?
At this moment, he narrowed his fox eyes slightly and looked at the person who had his back to them. The more he looked at the back, the more familiar the figure seemed. If he hadn’t known that Chu Fengqing was in the mansion at this moment, he would have gone over to see what this person looked like from the front already.
Just when he was about to look away, he suddenly saw that person in front of him lower his head, revealing his uncovered neck. There was a small mole on the snow-white skin. It would be easy to miss it if one didn’t look carefully, but Ji Yujin wouldn’t miss it because his fingers had swept across that mole countless times.
His pupils tightened, and he stared at that place intently. It was alright to imagine the figure, but could there be such a coincidence that the same mole appeared in the same place?
Ji Yujin suddenly smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. The corners of his lips were hooked in a dangerous arc. Did he miss something? Who can tell him why his family’s young master is here?
It turns out that the not-so-clever family member was actually himself?
The proprietress had just provoked Chu Fengqing, so naturally she couldn’t let Ji Yujin go, and it seemed that Ji Yujin was even more sensible than Chu Fengqing.
Just when Ji Yujin was about to stand up, the shopkeeper came over with a pot of wine and sat down opposite Ji Yujin, smiling and asking, “Sir, would you like a drink?”
Ji Yujin raised his eyebrows and did not refuse. The propry smiled, and her every frown and smile was refreshing. “It seems that My Lord is giving this little girl’s face.”
Ji Yujin: “Of course, we have to give face to beauty.”
The wine was poured into the cup, and the proprietress held the cup close to Ji Yujin’s lips, her voice sweet and sticky: “This is good wine, I wouldn’t give it to ordinary people.”
Ji Yujin did not push her away but asked calmly, “Oh? So, I have to try it?”
Chu Fengqing listened to the conversation between the two, tightened his grip on the cup, his cold brows slightly sank, and a feeling of unhappiness rose in his heart, which instantly flowed to his limbs.
He frowned; obviously, this sudden emotion made him feel a little strange and uncomfortable.
Drink it. If you drink this glass of wine, you won’t be able to leave here.
Chu Fengqing said this secretly in his heart, but he couldn’t really just leave him alone.
He moved his lips and was about to call for a stop when Ji Yujin’s voice came: “But I may have to let the proprietress down.”
As he spoke, he pushed the cup further away. He never looked at the proprietress but always fixed his eyes on the young man in front of him. Speaking of Chu Fengqing in men’s clothing, he hadn’t seen it for a long time. A figure flashed through Ji Yujin’s mind, it was elegant and unattainable.
The proprietress: “Why?”
Ji Yujin smiled, his fox eyes squinting at Chu Fengqing, but Chu Fengqing didn’t notice it at all. He said lazily, “I’m already married, and my wife is jealous. He can’t stand me talking to anyone else. If he knew you fed me this drink, he would chop off your hand and overturn the shop.”
The jealous wife, Chu Fengqing: “……” Who is he talking about??
Ji Yujin: “My wife is a gentle person, but he became like this only because he was obsessed with me. Although I feel very burdened, but everything stems from the word love. Fortunately, we are in love with each other, so I can’t mess around outside, that would be too rude.”
Everyone: “……”
The joints of Chu Fengqing’s hand holding the cup gradually turned white.
Ji Yujin didn’t stop, he propped his chin with his hand, stared at that person, and said, “My wife loves me so much, I must keep myself clean and stay faithful to him. I can’t dirty my body, right? Otherwise, it will be bad if my wife dislikes me.”
As he spoke, he suddenly added, “Oh, I almost forgot to say, my wife is a man.”
Chu Fengqing: “?”
The proprietress: “……”
Ji Yujin: “I am that one below, he needs me every day, so—Proprietress, I am sorry, I cannot drink your wine.”
The proprietress’s face was slightly cracked, and she drank the wine in the glass. What was he talking about? What did she just hear? If he didn’t want to drink it, then don’t! Who the hell wants to hear you say this ah!!
Ji Yujin’s subordinates: “!!” Did they hear some incredible secret?! Will they be silenced?!
Ji Yujin watched as the snow-white neck of the person in front of him slowly turned a thin layer of pink as he wished. Finally, he showed mercy and put away his magical powers, but his pair of fox eyes were curved with a smile.
Chu Fengqing’s pair of crow-feather-like eyelashes kept trembling, his pale lips were pursed until they became a bloody color, his earlobes and the back of his neck were covered with a thin layer of powder, and his tightly clenched fists exuded murderous intent.
Dog Ji!
