Chapter 123 Maybe It's Related to You

She secretly glanced at Lu Changxuan who was playing with Su Lan in the distance, and a sinister look flashed in her eyes.

good chance.

The two people sitting at the table lowered their heads in silence. Mu Jiyue picked up the plate on her table and placed it on Ye Jinchen's table. She smiled and said, "Western Shu specialty fructose, which was just sent over from the embassy. Brother Chen, try it. Does it taste the same as it did in Northern Xinjiang?"

Ye Jinchen just felt upset. After a few drinks, he took Sheng Yunqing away.

"Brother Chen..." Mu Jiyue's voice was not as lively as before. She called weakly, looked at his figure, and sighed softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the maid A'luo hurried to the seat, walked to Mu Jiyue's side, and whispered a few words in her ear.

"Spoiling the fun!" Her face darkened. Her suppressed temper suddenly burst out as Ye Jinchen left. Her eyes lit up with anger. "Those old guys from Xishu are killing me!"

The scarlet shawl swept over the snacks on the table, and the jade plate rolled down, making a crackling sound.

By the time everyone realized it, she had already left the table and got into the carriage with her maid.

Lu Changxuan crossed his arms, looked at Mu Jiyue's departing back, snorted softly, and said, "Yes, the troublemaker is gone."

Su Lan exhaled lightly and said, "What an annoying woman. Fairy Sister and Prince Ye don't have to follow me. I'm leaving first."

"Where are you going? Wait for me!" Lu Changxuan followed closely like a follower.

The peach blossoms in the peach grove bloomed wildly, and as the night wind blew, the petals fell one by one.

The moment Sheng Yunqing's back hit the peach tree, falling petals and starlight fell into Ye Jinchen's eyes.

His rough thumbs rolled heavily over the rose butter crumbs on her lips, staining the bright red lip balm on his cold jade-like fingertips: "I went to Prince Xian's mansion to beg for you, but he refused to give it to me. So he wants to give it to you personally?"

Sheng Yunqing was stunned for a moment, and said, "You have been to Prince Xian's Mansion? To ask for me? Why?"

"What? You like it, so I can't ask for it for you? Or maybe, you are not looking at the jade pendant, but Ye Jinlan?!" Ye Jinchen stared at her with a piercing gaze, as if he wanted to burn a hole in her.

Sheng Yunqing exhaled lightly, raised his eyebrows and looked at him and said, "Do you believe everything Mu Jiyue said? Ye Jinchen, you are being too unreasonable."

Ye Jinchen's eyes suddenly showed hostility. He picked up a piece of her hair with his fingertips, squeezing out juice that was bright red like blood. He leaned closer to her, and the intoxicating aroma of wine invaded her between his lips and teeth.

He squeezed her wrist and said, "My anger is unreasonable in your eyes?"

"You..." Sheng Yunqing only uttered one word before his tall body pressed towards her and he lowered his head to bite her earlobe.

Sheng Yunqing's breathing stagnated, and she turned away with a red face, staring at the peach blossoms in the distance and said, "Ye Jinchen, this is the simplest explanation, do you want to hear it?"

Ye Jinchen lifted her chin and kissed her. The rich aroma of wine spread between her lips and teeth, making the girl's heart flutter.

After the kiss, he rested his forehead against hers and said in a hoarse voice, "If this is not an explanation I like to hear, then shut up."

Sheng Yunqing took off the jade pendant from his waist and held it up, saying, "King Xian didn't give me a jade pendant. I made this one based on his jade pendant."

Ye Jinchen gradually calmed down, and said in a fainter voice: "Why?"

Sheng Yunqing patiently explained: "I noticed that Mu Jiyue seemed to be very concerned, maybe it has something to do with you? This is called luring the snake out of its hole. While my senior brother is still in the capital, I will investigate thoroughly and get rid of your poison."

Ye Jinchen frowned and said, "Why didn't you discuss this with me in advance?" Sheng Yunqing raised the corner of his lips and said, "You didn't know about this, so you just put on a show in front of Mu Jiyue."

Ye Jinchen gritted his teeth and said, "You even tricked me into it?"

Sheng Yunqing raised her hand, placed her slender jade fingers on his lips, looked into his eyes and said, "Remember, you didn't hear anything. Swallow everything I just said."

Ye Jinchen lowered his eyes and looked at her hand pressed against his lips. A surge of heat surged in his body. He grabbed her hand and pressed it against the tree behind him, then bent down and kissed her lips.

Sheng Yunqing closed his eyes. The aroma of wine mixed with the fragrance of peach blossoms in the air permeated his nostrils and intoxicated Fangfang.

The night of early spring was still a little chilly and windy. When the flower on Sheng Yunqing's collar fell and the cold air spread on her skin, she suddenly woke up.

The hand that was against the tree was released, and she pulled the red rope around her wrist, but it got entangled in the peach branch without her knowing, causing the whole tree to tremble.

In the rain of flowers, petals scattered all over her body. She raised her hand to push away, but the red rope bell on her wrist was broken.

Ye Jinchen bit the broken rope stained with alcohol between his lips, and with his other hand, he clasped her fingertips as she was about to make a seal and pressed them against the tree trunk. The slight chill in the spring night turned into wildfire between their breathing.

"Ye Jinchen you..." The last half of the sentence was lost between the intertwined lips and teeth. The passionate kiss was filled with the bitter fragrance of mellow wine. Sheng Yunqing's heart skipped a beat in a half-asleep and half-awake state.

What is Ye Jinchen doing? Is he trying to...

"Ye Jinchen? Ye Jinchen!" Sheng Yunqing tried to wake him up, but he didn't respond at all.

The willow branches on Zhuque Street sprouted new buds. Lu Changxuan rushed through the crowd holding two lanterns. The silver bells tied to the peach wood sword tassel made Su Lan's head hurt.

She turned around to leave holding the rabbit lantern she had just bought when she suddenly felt her hair lighten. She reached out to touch it and her fingertips were stuck with something sticky.

She rubbed it carefully, and the drunkard replaced the newly bought jade hairpin on her head with a candied haws stick.

She nearly bit her back teeth to pieces, stopped, and glared at Lu Changxuan who was running towards her, saying, "Lu! Chang! Xuan!"

She raised her foot to kick at Lu Changxuan's hem, but he blocked the attack with his lantern.

Lu Changxuan gently touched her hair with his finger, and the candied haws stick turned into a silver hairpin without anyone noticing.

He smiled slyly and said, "Xiao Lan, don't walk so fast, wait for me..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Lan drew her sword and knocked the two lanterns out of his hands. After they fell to the ground, she crushed them to pieces.

"If you dare to mess with me again, what I'll crush won't be a lantern anymore!"

"Tsk tsk, Xiaolan has such a bad temper." Lu Changxuan pretended to retreat.

Su Lan pulled off the silver hairpin from her hair, frowned and said in dissatisfaction: "It's so ugly! Give me back my jade hairpin!"

Lu Changxuan leaned over, looked at her with a playful look on his face, and said, "There is the fragrance of your hair, leave it to me as a souvenir."

"You wish!" Su Lan sheathed the sword and stabbed him hard in the stomach with the hilt.

"Don't push, I'm going to vomit!" Lu Changxuan covered his stomach miserably. Suddenly, his heart sank. He frowned, stood up straight and looked at the sky. He raised his hand and quickly calculated his fortune, saying, "Not good..."

Su Lan looked at his serious expression, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
