Wei Yi was starving, so when he saw the pastries, his mouth drooled. His restraint was null as he greedily grabbed onto a pastry and shoved it into his mouth before obediently nodding at Li Shiyan’s request. He chewed on the pastries while speaking unintelligibly, “Whapmh fiyou want to talk about? Howph long fiyou want to talk?”
As soon as Wei Yi ate the pastries, Li Shiyan hinted at Xiao Luzi to closed the door. Then, he questioned Wei Yi, “I want to ask you, where are you going?”
“To the capital!”
“Why are you going there?”
“To eat meat! Shu’er said that when we get to the capital, she will bring me to eat meat.”
“Who is Shu’er?”
“My wife!”
Li Shiyan gawked before he inquired further, “Is Shu’er that woman who wears a veil on her face?”
Wei Yi, who was eating, strongly nodded.
EH?!
Li Shiyan’s jaw dropped as his expression turned ugly. ‘The end! This is the end! The other is a married woman.’ To seduce someone who is already married, that was something beyond him! Suddenly, he thought for a moment. ‘That Wei Yi is an idiot. How can someone want to marry him?’ Li Shiyan couldn’t give up hope, thus he continued his interrogation. “Is she really your wife? Did you kneel to heaven and earth during the wedding?”
‘What is kneeling to heaven and earth?’ Wei Yi shook his head and engulfed another pastry. His two cheeks were swollen from stuffing too many pastries in his mouth. “Mother said that Shu’er will be my wife sooner or later. In the future, we will have many little Wei Yis. But father and mother are dead, so I only have Shu’er now.”
“Oh! I see. So, you’re not married yet?”
Wei Yi didn’t understand his question, but still shook his head and continued to eat. This time, Li Shiyan was back in high spirits. Sweet, fair, and virtuous women are the kind of beauty he loved the most.
His eyes hooked up as he pushed a plate of osthmanthus cake in front of Wei Yi. “Then, tell me, who is the man accompanying you two?”
Wei Yi thought for an instant before answering, “Shu’er said that he is a punching bag.”
“A punching bag?” The answer baffled Li Shiyan. “What kind of people are they? Why are all of them carrying swords?”
“I don’t know,” Wei Yi answered in all honesty.
‘Kid, if your parents in heaven are looking over you right now, won’t they be infuriated to no end?’ In front of a “child trafficker,” you ate the pastries he gave you and even told him everything he wanted to know. You basically counted the money for the other while you got sold! Wei Yi should learn to be more careful.
After a moment, Li Shiyan thought of a problem. He pulled on Wei Yi’s hand and asked with high hopes, “So, is Shu’er beautiful or not?”
“Beautiful! Shu’er is the most beautiful!” Wei Yi’s voice resounded loud and clear. In Wei Yi’s eyes, Ji Yunshu was the most beautiful person in the world, and his heart was completely occupied by her and no one else.
Li Shiyan’s peach blossom eyes seemed to glisten. His dissolute nature as a playboy came out. ‘I should have known.’ Li Shiyan knew most of what he wanted to know. Immediately, he took back the two plates of pastries he had put in front of Wei Yi.
“Hey! I still haven’t finished eating.”
“Stop eating!” Li Shiyan turned to Xiao Luzi. “Send him out.”
Xiao Luzi stepped forward, pulled Wei Yi up, and pushed him out of the room. “Young Master Wei, I won’t send you back.”
Bang!
The door was shut. After Wei Yi was pushed out of the room, he wiped the remains of pastries on his mouth. He was quite at a loss. Not to mention finding Ji Yunshu’s room, he couldn’t even remember where his room was. He looked around, then saw a somewhat familiar door. He nodded up and down energetically. “Hmm! This must be my room.”
Without hesitation, he pushed open the door, but the instant he opened it…
“AAAAAAHHH!”
Wei Yi was scared to the point that his legs softened, forcing him to sit where he had stood with his hands supporting him. His expression showed terror as his eyes took in a horrific sight.
