Heh, she doesn't recognize me, this is all just by chance.
It's impossible for me, Yuchi, to take my niece out for a stroll and randomly encounter the most familiar stranger.
Yuchi had no intention of asking questions proactively.
He planned to maintain the aloof appearance of a third son of the Wei Family, he couldn't just go around smiling at everyone.
Besides, this girl's Spirit Root isn't good, just like his own.
In the end, a single sentence from the little Ximo beside him broke through his calm.
"It's so big!" Little Ximo stared at the other's chest, "Her butt's on the front!"
Yuchi nearly spewed blood and fainted.
You little girl, you're really touching the sore spot!
The other party's face immediately turned red, Yuchi could feel the temperature in the inn rising by a few degrees.
"Sorry, the little child speaks without filter." Yuchi apologized seriously, though kids generally don't lie.
Indeed the woman's figure was incredibly good, which was the truth.
"Young master is too kind, I won't take it to heart."
"May I ask the young lady's name?"
"I'm Qi Yuan'Er."
Yuchi, "What a nice name!"
The Sect Leader's occupational disease hit, yet just as he said this, he realized something was off.
He quickly raised his head and looked at her twice in confusion.
The young woman was about eighteen, with a slender waist, silk ribbons wrapped around her, dressed in a light green dress.
She wore an emerald jade hairpin, and on her slim wrist, a colorful bell silver bracelet could be seen.
Looking again at her appearance, she indeed was exquisite and dignified.
Though young, she gave off a very gentle and serene vibe!
Ah... this!
Isn't she my betrothed?
What is going on? Yuchi was puzzled.
The gentle and warm look in the girl's eyes was all shyness, he didn't expect she would take the initiative to come over!
She was indeed so unreserved!
And then... Yuchi... the book he was reading just now seemed random.
Did he originally like this kind of thing?
Well.
He could understand.
Most boys of his age would read such books, not doing so would be unusual.
Yuchi glanced to the side and realized that at some point, a lot of people had gathered both inside and outside the inn.
Such beauty as Qi Yuan'Er's was indeed rare, everyone stood outside, stretching their necks to look.
Commenting, just like admiring flowers.
Yuchi was displeased.
"May we talk in private?" Yuchi said.
"I'll follow your lead," Qi Yuan'Er replied.
...
On the way back home, Yuchi returned little Ximo to his second brother.
Little Ximo, being sensible, didn't like Qi Yuan'Er anymore, clearly knowing that if it weren't for this girl, she could have played with her uncle a little longer.
Yuchi then brought Qi Yuan'Er back to the courtyard.
There was a patch of begonia in the corner of the courtyard, and though it wasn't the flowering season, the green leaves were still very beautiful.
Along the way, although the two didn't say much, at least they weren't that unfamiliar.
So how did she find him?
Strange.
Then, in Qi Yuan'Er's explanation, he roughly understood.
It turned out that the Qi Family had people watching outside the Wei Mansion, and as soon as he came out, they would immediately inform the Qi Family.
"I didn't expect Qi Yuan'Er would actively come to find me."
"Looks like the Qi Family isn't doing well lately."
Yuchi made tea for her, and they sat in front of the small stone table under the tree.
"Thank you."
Qi Yuan'Er appeared somewhat constrained, with her hands placed precisely on her knees.
A slight pause, a nod, and suddenly she spoke.
"Sorry!"
"Ah?" Yuchi laughed, "Why the sudden apology?"
"I truly didn't know about the previous matters," she seemed a bit anxious, her eyes also showing some despair.
Qi Yuan'Er's intention was simple; she needed to apologize.
An engagement isn't something that can change easily, a greedy woman is the most mocked existence in this world, and she didn't want to become that.
She also didn't want others to say that about her, and of course, there was more important business with Yuchi this time.
"No harm, my elder brother has already informed me of the situation."
"Earlier, when you came to my place, I indeed wasn't home, otherwise, I would have met you." Yuchi reassured her not to be so tense.
It's really unnecessary.
He's not a villain.
But after really seeing her genuine worry, Yuchi instantly understood.
For a girl like Qi Yuan'Er, if he answered casually, she would not only not relax but become more nervous.
They needed to be treated like ordinary people.
Alright, since that's the case, he returned to his usual calm demeanor.
"Shall we talk business first?" Yuchi asked.
"Yes..." Qi Yuan'Er replied.
"Alright, please speak." Yuchi sat on the stone stool, his eyes directly meeting hers.
"Yes... My lord!" Qi Yuan'Er sighed in relief.
Speaking like this relieved her; she was afraid of the three-point smile look, that kind of smile was difficult to read if it was sincere.
Then the rumor in town was that Yuchi was quite ordinary.
Having met him, Yuchi really wasn't an ordinary person.
On the contrary.
She could clearly feel his breadth.
This was something that could be discerned with a few words, Qi Yuan'Er trusted her intuition, it was the aura of a great figure!
"I have two requests," she said.
Yuchi looked at her.
She said, "The first matter, can you persuade the Wei Family to continue business dealings with our Qi Family?"
After saying this, she looked at Yuchi somewhat timidly.
Yuchi, "That's impossible."
At that moment, he had exchanged a lot of gold and silver for elixir to save Qian Wenshi.
