Chapter 244 Throwing Himself into Her Arms?
Ye Qing'an refused almost without thinking: "Even if it's as Ye Qinghao wishes, it's just an act. You don't actually think I'd really be with you..."
"Isn't that right?" Yi Moxu raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled. "You were the one who said you wanted me to be your male concubine, weren't you?"
Ye Qing'an snorted lightly: "Dream on!"
After saying that, she stood up to leave. Ye Qing'an remained calm, but her steps became unsteady. She didn't notice that she had stepped on her own skirt and stumbled, falling towards Yi Moxu.
A familiar, cool fragrance first wafted into Ye Qing'an's nose, and then fell into Yi Moxu's embrace.
"Is Qing'an trying to throw herself into my arms?"
Ye Qing'an struggled to stand up, took a deep breath, and felt that every time she met Yi Moxu, she would be amused by him and completely lose her original rationality and composure.
This is not a good thing.
But when Ye Qing'an turned around, she saw several servants standing at the door...
Ye Qing'an turned around abruptly: "They..."
“They were already there before you fell, bringing me medicinal herbs.” Yi Moxu’s lips curled up slightly: “They probably saw that we were talking and didn’t want to disturb us, so they waited there silently.”
Yi Moxu raised his eyes: "They saw us, isn't that perfect? This way, the whole household will know that you and I were hugging and cuddling here before lunch today."
"Perhaps, through their mouths, the word might spread, and by the afternoon, we might even have a child."
Seeing Ye Qing'an biting her lip and staring at him silently, Yi Moxu suddenly realized and smiled, "That's right, we already have a child."
Ye Qing'an glanced at Yi Moxu: "You went to great lengths to enter the Ye residence before, all for Gu Duo's sake."
"Now that Gu Duo is in your hands, why don't you leave?"
Yi Moxu chuckled lightly: "Are you trying to get rid of me?"
natural.
Ye Qing'an snorted coldly. Ever since she experienced that illusion of inner demons, she now felt a strange sense of awkwardness towards Yi Moxu.
She said she liked it, but she didn't think she liked it that much.
She said she didn't like it, but Yi Moxu's voice, the cold fragrance on his body, and every physical contact made her heart flutter and her waist and legs feel weak, as if her body was reacting subconsciously.
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips slightly. Could it be, just as Yi Moxu said, that their bodies were inherently attracted to each other?
Previously, she thought it was because of the inner demon illusion that night, so she deliberately stayed away from Yi Moxu for a while, but it seems that the method of staying away did not work.
“Leaving is impossible. Although Gu Duo is now in my hands, there are more important people…”
Ye Qing'an felt Yi Moxu's gaze fall on her almost imperceptibly, carrying a meaningful meaning.
“There are more important people and more important things that make me want to stay here.”
Ye Qing'an snorted coldly: "Whatever."
After saying that, he left directly.
When the servants guarding the courtyard gate saw Ye Qing'an coming, they quickly lowered their heads and bowed to her.
Zixiao hurriedly followed behind Ye Qing'an, and only after they left the courtyard did she lower her voice and say, "Miss, just now... just now those servants saw it..."
Zixiao really didn't know how to express herself, so she just bit her lip and said, "I just found out about those servants. Most of them are from the pharmacy in the manor. How about I go and smooth things over with them later and tell them... to keep their mouths shut?"
Ye Qing'an paused, remained silent for a moment, and then shook her head: "No need."
"No...isn't that necessary?"
"The matter between me and Doctor Xu is true, and it can't be hidden for long, so let them talk."
Zi Xiao's eyes widened, and it took her a long time to find her voice: "But...but..."
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "If those rumors go too far, I won't have to do anything myself. Father will find a way to deal with it, so there's no need to worry."
"Yes."
Ye Qing'an didn't take the matter to heart. In the following days, she would occasionally receive small gifts from Yi Moxu through intermediaries. The two would meet occasionally, and Ye Qing'an would sit in Yi Moxu's courtyard. Sometimes it was the courtyard, then the main hall, then the study, and then the bedroom.
Rumors were rampant in the manor, but since Ye Qing'an's status in the manor was completely different from when she first returned, no one dared to bring it up in front of her. As long as it didn't reach her, she would pretend not to know.
Two days later, it was the Duchess of England's birthday. Early in the morning, Ye Qing'an went to the Duke of England's mansion with gifts.
Ye Qing'an arrived at the mansion at the perfect time. Upon entering, he was immediately taken to the Duchess of Yingguo to offer his birthday greetings. The Duchess of Yingguo appeared to be a kind and gentle person with white hair, a rosy complexion, and a radiant smile.
"I had heard before that the eldest daughter of the Ye family was exceptionally beautiful, and now that I have seen her, it is indeed true."
The Duchess of England smiled and helped Ye Qing'an up: "Good child, you have suffered a lot, but you will surely have good fortune in the future."
After saying that, she smiled and said, "Old woman, there are only old ladies here, it's not very interesting. The young men and women your age are playing in the back garden. I'll have a maid take you there."
"Yes."
The maid then led Ye Qing'an to the back garden.
Ye Qing'an didn't know anyone in Wangjing City. She looked up and saw that there were quite a few people in the back garden, chatting in twos and threes. There were men and women, but she didn't recognize any of them, so she just sat in a lakeside pavilion and watched the fish.
However, perhaps because Ye Qing'an or the entire Ye family had recently made quite a splash in the city, someone soon came knocking on their door.
"Oh, isn't this Miss Ye?"
Ye Qing'an raised her eyes to look at the woman walking towards her, and slightly raised her eyebrows: "May I ask who you are, Miss..."
The woman's face immediately turned ugly: "I am Li Siya, daughter of General Li Rui."
Ye Qing'an's gaze fell on Li Siya, and she suddenly remembered that she and Ye Feiran had a conflict with Li Wen, the son of the General of the Cavalry, outside the academy.
Li Wen must be Li Siya's younger brother, right?
Knowing what happened that day, he came specifically to find her and avenge Li Wen.
But at this time, are they still in the Duke of England's mansion?
If this Miss Li really came to seek revenge, then she's probably not very bright.
"Hello, Miss Li."
Li Siya's gaze swept over Ye Qing'an's face, a cold smile on her face. Suddenly, she raised her voice and said, "Miss Ye is indeed as beautiful as the rumors say. In our Wangjing City, if we're talking about looks, Miss Ye should be in the top three, right?"
