The stunning beauty is spoiled by the fast-wearing bosses

Chapter 385: The Chivalrous Woman and the Romantic Young Prince (19)

Jingtai Villa was once a small villa of Yan Shoushan. Yan Xue had passed by this place many times with her father and stayed here for a while.

Duanmu Ci and his party soon arrived at Jingtai Villa. When the villa manager heard that the eldest daughter had arrived,

He hurried out to greet him and directly arranged him in the best room in the villa.

After entering the room, Duanmu Ci gently took Yan Xue into his arms, and then they sat on the chair together.

He ordered his servants to prepare hot water and delicious snacks.

Yan Xue felt Duanmu Ci's warm and gentle movements, and a warm current surged in her heart.

At this time, Zhuangzi's manager came running over in a hurry.

“Miss, there are two men and two women outside the manor, with a group of guards.

They said that because the rain was too heavy, they asked to come to our village to take shelter from the wind and rain."

Yan Xue nodded slightly and replied calmly: "Then let them live in the guest house."

At night, the rain finally stopped.

Yan Xue walked out of the room, looked up at the sky full of brilliant stars, and felt particularly relaxed and happy.

Duanmu Ci stood quietly by, gazing at the graceful girl beside him, his eyes revealing deep fondness.

He carefully took the girl's hand and asked softly, "Well, Xue'er, if you like it here, we can stay here for a few more days."

Yan Xue shook her head gently. "No, there are still many important things that I need to deal with."

Duanmu Ci said self-reproachfully, "Xue'er, it's all because of me that you have to endure so much hardship."

Yan Xue looked at the self-blame in the man's eyes, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she comforted him softly: "Everyone has their own areas of expertise and weaknesses.

What you are good at may not necessarily be what I am good at, so don’t underestimate yourself.”

After hearing this, Duanmu Ci couldn't help but grin, revealing a brilliant smile, "Xue'er, do you really think so?"

Yan Xue smiled and nodded. She knew in her heart that although Duanmu Ci had behaved unreliably over the years,

But his outstanding military achievements on the battlefield in previous years are unquestionable.

According to rumors, his father was very worried because his mother suddenly fell ill, so he asked him to go home to visit her urgently.

At this moment, Dongyi launched a fierce attack.

Although they won in the end, the old prince unfortunately died on the battlefield, while Duanmu Ci luckily escaped.

Yan Xue had some guesses about Duanmu Ci's situation in the past few years.

In fact, Yan Xue had a vague idea of ​​his situation in recent years. He was just pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

But no matter what, this guy really has no business acumen. It's really amazing that he squandered all the money in the huge palace in just five years.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door, followed by the voice of the steward: "Miss, the two young men and two young ladies who came to stay here before said they wanted to see you."

Yan Xue said softly: "Then let them go to Qingya Pavilion and wait."

"Yes."

When the four of them arrived at the flower hall, they saw the two people sitting in front of them. They couldn't help but secretly marvel at the two people's demeanor and appearance.

Shi Junhao bowed respectfully and said, "I am Shi Junhao, this is my sister Shi Junling, and my cousin Han Qingdong and my cousin Han Qingyu.

It rained heavily today. Thank you very much for taking us in. Otherwise, the four of us would have gotten sick from the rain."

The other three also bowed to the two to express their gratitude.

Duanmu Ci smiled and replied, "You're welcome. We're all away from home, so it's inevitable that we'll encounter some inconveniences."

However, Shi Junhao's gaze suddenly fell on the girl sitting above him. His brows frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.

He showed a hint of surprise and asked tentatively: "Are you...are you Sister Yan?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Ci's eyes instantly became sharp and shot towards Shi Junhao with a bit of hostility.

Shi Junhao felt a chill coming over him, and his heart tightened.

Yan Xue looked at the man in front of her and felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was.

"You are......"

"I am Shi Junhao. Have you forgotten? Two years ago, Uncle Yan took you on our ship."

Yan Xue tried hard to recall the original owner's memory, and finally realized: "Oh, it turned out to be my senior brother!"

Duanmu Ci, who was standing by, felt a pang of annoyance when he heard this name.

Yan Xue also realized that the way she addressed him was not appropriate. After all, that was what her father asked her to do at the time.

She quickly changed the topic and said, "I wonder why Master Master came to Jiangcheng this time?"

Shi Junhao said apologetically, "I am ashamed to say that Uncle Yan helped our family a lot in the past.

When Sister Yan got married, I was still working on a ship. I didn’t get off the ship until three days ago. My father specially asked me to come and give her a gift.”

Yan Xue smiled and replied, "It's okay. This wedding was originally quite hasty."

Shi Junhao's heart moved, and he looked at the man sitting upstairs, "Could this be the legendary Prince of Xiping?"

Duanmu Ci's eyes were full of disdain, "It is this king."

The four people stood up and saluted the two again.

"Sorry, I'm not very good at seeing things."

"It's okay. Since you are friends with the Princess, there's no need to be too distant with her." Duanmu Ci waved his hand.

Yan Xue's mind raced, and she suddenly smiled even brighter, "Mr. Shi, I just happen to have a business deal I want to discuss with you."

She looked at the other people and said, "Let's go to the pavilion outside and talk."

Shi Junhao was surprised, but still agreed happily, "Okay."

Duanmu Ci looked at the two people who were chatting happily in the pavilion from afar, his anger burning in his heart and his teeth chattering.

At this moment, Shi Junling turned her gaze to the tall and handsome Prince of Xiping, and an inexplicable excitement surged in her heart.

As a concubine's daughter of the Shi family, she has always longed to change her destiny. This time, being able to go out with her elder brother to see the world is a rare opportunity for her.

If she could gain the favor of Prince Xiping and enter his mansion, she would be able to enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future and no longer have to worry about the Shi family's opinions.

Although her looks could not compare to that of Miss Yan, maybe men would change their tastes occasionally.

So, she mustered up her courage and walked forward, bowed to Duanmu Ciyingying, and introduced herself: "Prince of Xiping, a commoner..."

However, when she looked up, she found that Duanmu Ci was already striding towards the pavilion, completely ignoring her presence.

Shi Junling clenched her fists tightly and swore to herself that since there was still a chance, she would not give up easily.

Duanmu Ci walked into the pavilion, sat down next to Yan Xue naturally, and then skillfully filled the girl's cup of tea.

This action surprised Shi Junhao who was standing by, but he was also happy for Yan Xue.

He suppressed the bitterness in his heart and said, "I wonder if His Royal Highness is interested in going out to sea?"

Duanmu Ci shook his head. He was only interested in his wife now and nothing else.

However, Duanmu Ci still said, "The king is seasick."

"Oh, that's a shame."

Duanmu Ci ignored Shi Junhao, turned to look at the girl and said, "Madam, what were you talking about just now?"
