Chapter 277: Chapter 277: She, Qi Yue, is certainly not the kind of woman who doesn’t appreciate kindness.
“They call you Madam, and you answered, doesn’t that mean you agreed with me?”
Zhao Xiyan released her, his deep eyes sparkling with earnest hope, and Qi Yue was captivated in an instant.
“I…..”
Qi Yue was truly a bit annoyed.
Normally, she thought herself quite articulate, but upon meeting Zhao Xiyan’s gaze, she couldn’t control the fluttering in her chest, and her thoughts turned sluggish.
“Yueyue, agree to my request, let’s start over, come back to my side.”
...
Zhao Xiyan grasped her hand, his stunning face slightly flushed with urgency and excitement, making him look even more like a bloom in spring.
Yet he also bore a noble and heroic demeanor; the combination of these two ultimate forms of beauty on the same face sent tremors through Qi Yue’s heart.
“I was wrong before, I’ve never understood your feelings, and I’ve let you down. I won’t do that anymore. Mother said it’s because I’ve been too aloof, that’s why you didn’t like me. From now on, I will talk more with you, and like now, I won’t repress my feelings for you anymore, what do you think?”
“….” Qi Yue was surprised, delighted, and blushing, not knowing what to say.
Even if she had lived two lifetimes, even if she had been decisive and ruthless outside, cutting throats without hesitation, before the man she adored, she was still like a little girl.
Zhao Xiyan was still intently staring at her, eagerly waiting for her to give an answer.
Qi Yue had wanted to wave her hand with the same bold spirit she showed others and say, “I agree,” before listing a dozen things a boyfriend must do.
But facing Zhao Xiyan, other than a heart full of passion and shyness, she found herself speechless.
Her heart felt as if it were being filled to the brim, so swollen that a gust of wind could blow her away.
In the end, she pushed Zhao Xiyan away and ran out with flushed cheeks.
“Whatever you say is fine….”@@novelbin@@
Zhao Xiyan was first startled, but upon understanding her words, he felt joy and quickly called after her retreating figure, “I’m asking if you think it’s good?”
Qi Yue felt shy, but she was also worried that Zhao Xiyan might overthink it.
Glancing around and seeing no one, she hurriedly turned her head and called out.
“I think it’s very good.”
As Zhao Xiyan’s words echoed in her mind, Qi Yue felt her face burn once more.
Zhao Xiyan said he wouldn’t repress his feelings for her anymore. Would he often want to do something in the future?
Like those last two times, suddenly embracing her out of nowhere…
Qi Yue’s heart pounded wildly; she couldn’t stand still any longer and ran toward the back courtyard like the wind.
Hidden on both sides of the wall, the tall and short, fat and thin servants jumped down, all smiling and winking at each other.
“Who would have thought that our Madam had such a girlish side.”
“That’s true, the master is fortunate. Which woman in the world can wield a sword in battle, yet look as beautiful as a flower at home? Our Madam really has it all!”
“Your words are incorrect; Madam’s beauty is not all. Her personality is also truly pleasant. She’s gentle and tender toward our master, and as for other men, huh, she’s as cold as ice!”
“Cold as ice? That’s nothing, she’ll kill you if you cross her….”
“….”
The group was quietly discussing with great amusement when suddenly they felt a chill and all looked up to see Zhao Xiyan walking by, a smile seemingly lingering at the corners of his mouth.
The tall and short, fat and thin, all shivered, their faces turning slightly pale.
The fat one quivered his lips, saying urgently, “The master has forbidden gossip, we can’t be getting written up, can we?”
The short one’s face also looked somewhat pale.
“What do we do? I said one unnecessary remark last time and the master had me feeding horses for three days; I don’t want to do that again.”
The skinny one quickly chimed in as well.
“Same here, I was punished to bathe horses!”
But the tall one laughed and said with pride, “You guys just don’t understand the master’s thoughts. If the master wanted to punish us, he would’ve done so already. Do you think we’d still be standing here chattering away?”
Hearing this, the shorter and fatter ones repeatedly nodded their heads.
“That makes sense… hey, we were talking about Madam just now!”
“Wasn’t it just about Madam?” exclaimed the thin one with an exaggerated face, “Remember, praising Madam is always the right choice!”
“Look at you, so good at stating the obvious, after the fact!”
“So what if it’s hindsight, as long as it doesn’t hinder my efforts to win the master’s and the mistress’s favor,”
“…”
The four of them played and laughed as they walked away, while Zhao Xiyan listened quietly to their conversation, the smile on his lips growing bigger.
Meanwhile, Qi Yue ran all the way back to Furong Courtyard before remembering she had forgotten to tell Zhao Xiyan about her intention to become a Military Supply Officer.
She was considering going to find him immediately, but then she touched her face, which was still hot, and quickly dismissed the thought.
“Forget it, I’ll talk about it at dinner,” she decided.
After muttering to herself, she remembered seeing ancient armors, shields, and various weapons for sale in the Space Mall, and immediately went into her space to place an order for enough supplies for ten thousand people.
Thinking she could soon help Zhao Xiyan create an invincible cavalry with minimal casualties, Qi Yue couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“I’ll certainly give him a fright when the time comes!”
No sooner had she calmed down than she uncontrollably thought of Zhao Xiyan speaking to her with deep affection, causing her face to heat up once again.
“He said he’d learn to be passionate, but how can one endure that…”
Qi Yue frolicked happily in her space, now kissing Little Bai Yun, now mounting Lightning to run a lap around the backhill, and then returning to her bedroom to roll around hugging a pillow…
After such exertions, her full-bodied enthusiasm finally subsided.
Starting today, she would pursue love normally!
Qi Yue cheered herself on in her heart!
While it was a flaw that Zhao Xiyan had a woman in his heart before her, it was something that belonged to the past!
She couldn’t prevent others from having a past, could she?
If this were modern times, which man hasn’t dated a dozen or dozens of times?
It wouldn’t be strange for a man to have a few women in his heart, let alone a dozen or more!
In comparison, Zhao Xiyan was still commendable.
The most crucial point was, she really fancied Zhao Xiyan.
There’s a saying that goes, “In love at first sight, one errs for a lifetime.”
The moment she saw Zhao Xiyan, her heart was filled; no one else could fit in.
Since that was the case, why torment herself?
If Zhao Xiyan had another woman in his heart, she could just kick her out!
If she could be expelled, then it wasn’t true love, and Qi Yue wouldn’t feel any loss.
Moreover, it was Zhao Xiyan who took the initiative.
If he renounced his beloved for her sake, braving utter disapproval and going so far as to defend her passionately, it would be ungrateful of her not to reciprocate.
Qi Yue was not one to be ungrateful.
So, it would be best if that Ruyan didn’t show up again.
Otherwise, Qi Yue certainly wouldn’t turn a blind eye.
Humph!
While Qi Yue was entertaining these pleasant thoughts, unbeknownst to her, it had already grown dark outside.
It was time for dinner, and a servant came to report that the mistress was nowhere to be found.
“No one in Furong Courtyard either?”
“No, maids and nannies have searched several times but still no sign of the mistress.”
Zhao Xiyan naturally knew what was going on, so he waved his hand and said, “Go on with your work, I know where she is.”
After saying that, he put down the book he was holding and leisurely made his way to Furong Courtyard.
As expected, there was no sign of Qi Yue in the courtyard, but the doors and windows of the bedroom were tightly closed.
“Yueyue, Yueyue…”
He called out a couple of times, intending to push the door and enter but worried he might encounter a scene like last time.
Remembering the events of that night, Zhao Xiyan suddenly felt parched and tongue-tied.
Her bare shoulders half-exposed, her black hair spread across the bed…
Her luminescent, delicate waist shining white…
What do you think?
