Their bodies suddenly drew extremely close.
She could hear his suddenly rapid breathing, while he took in the full view of the young woman’s delicate, snow-white neck.
On the window, their two silhouettes overlapped.
Long-dan’s mouth gaped open in shock.
Inside the room, Jiang Si realized her impropriety and stepped back, yet still blocked the other’s path.
Yu Jin couldn’t help but smile: “Where does Miss Jiang think I’m going? I just wanted to visit the restroom.”
Jiang Si’s face flushed.
How could a grown man so shamelessly mention going to the restroom in front of a young lady? Why was his skin so thick?
No, wait. The current Yu Qi was still technically a youth. Perhaps he hadn’t yet developed a man’s sense of propriety.
Yes, that must be why he’d made her feel so uncomfortable since their reunion.
Yu Jin noticed the subtle changes in the young woman’s expression and felt inexplicably displeased.
He had the feeling this girl was thinking something that would upset him.
Yu Jin sat back down.
“Weren’t you going to the restroom?” Jiang Si regained her composure and asked with furrowed brows.
“Since Miss Jiang is reluctant to let me leave, I won’t go,” Yu Jin said with a serious face. “I can hold it.”
A vein throbbed at Jiang Si’s temple.
She wanted to kill this bastard!
Yu Jin suddenly leaned forward, his handsome face abruptly magnified: “Shall we continue our chat?”
Closing her eyes, and taking a deep breath, Jiang Si suppressed the urge to commit murder.
With a forced smile at the corners of her mouth, Jiang Si said: “Let’s chat!”
“Then it’s my turn to ask.” Yu Jin sat up straight, smiling.
Jiang Si raised an eyebrow: “Young Master Yu just asked me how I discovered the Heir of Marquis Chang-xing’s crimes against women. Now it should be my turn to ask.”
The youth opposite blinked innocently: “Miss Jiang has already asked her question.”
Jiang Si was momentarily stunned.
Yu Jin smiled: “Just now, Miss Jiang asked where I was going.”
Jiang Si: “…”
Seeing that the young woman was truly about to explode, Yu Jin reached out and gently ruffled her hair, his tone unable to hide his fondness: “Alright, ask whatever you want. I’ll answer everything truthfully, okay?”
This silly girl. He was already willing to sell himself to repay the debt. His entire being could be hers. Yet she was still quibbling over who asked one more question.
Jiang Si tilted her head away: “Young Master Yu, please show some restraint!”
The hand on her head paused. Yu Jin lowered his eyes and sighed: “I think I still need to go out for a bit. Miss Jiang may not know, but I have a certain problem.”
“What problem?”
“When I’m in a bad mood, I want to kill someone. As it happens, the Heir of Marquis Chang-xing isn’t a good person. I’ll go slaughter him tonight, and Er-niu won’t have to worry about dog food for the next few days.”
The large dog lying beside Long-dan raised its head disdainfully, wagging its tail.
It was very picky about food!
Jiang Si stared directly at Yu Jin for a good while before asking: “May I understand this as you threatening me again?”
Yu Jin chuckled, his clear laughter passing through the window to the outside.
Long Dan scratched his head, burning with curiosity.
“Young Master Yu’s behavior is unbecoming of a gentleman.”
Yu Jin nodded: “I know.”
Could being a gentleman win the heart of the girl he admired?
Heh. Previously, when he acted like a modest gentleman, he could barely exchange a few words with her. But after playing the rogue once, he managed to bring her home in the middle of the night.
The superiority was obvious without even thinking about it.
“You’re like this—” Jiang Si wanted to say he wouldn’t be able to find a wife, but considering his identity, she swallowed those words.
As the Seventh Prince, how could he possibly worry about that?
“Could it be that Miss Jiang still pities the life of the Heir of Marquis Chang-xing?” Yu Jin asked.
Jiang Si coldly smiled: “For some people, even paying with their life isn’t enough to atone for the evil they’ve done!”
How could one life be enough?
What about those girls in the prime of their youth who were killed by that beast? What about the families who painfully lost their beloved daughters?
Weren’t the Marquis Chang-xing and his wife at all responsible for raising such a son?
She couldn’t stand by and watch the Chang-xing Marquis’s household continue to flourish after the sudden death of their heir, as it had in her previous life.
