Chapter 429: Don't Dream
With the passage of time and the crowding, the temperature in the conservatory seems to be a little warmer than just now.
After the fashion show, it was a formal dinner, and people were a little more free than before.
Melodious music fluttered in the air, and people who were slightly interested gathered in the center of the greenhouse to dance.
The lighting and choreography are all just right.
"Chen, you accompany Jiang Ce and them to chat for a while, and I will also go to the bathroom. β
"Will I go with you?"
Chen Ci looked at Xiang Kui and asked.
Xiang Kui hurriedly shook his head, "How old am I?"
As soon as Ruan Mianmian came back from the bathroom, he heard that Xiang Kui was also going.
She patted Aoi on the shoulder from behind and asked with a smile, "I wanted to go with you just now, but you said no, why do you want to go again now?"
Xiang Kui smiled embarrassedly, she said, "Harm! Didn't you feel it just now?"
As the words fell, Xiang Kui waved his hand towards Ruan Mianmian and walked towards the bathroom.
Almost the moment he turned around, the smile on Xiang Kui's face quickly collapsed.
She quickened her pace and walked towards the secluded place ahead, but she didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes that followed her closely.
Xiang Kui almost trotted out of the warm house behind him.
She looked around the doorway for a moment, then chose to go in a darker direction.
The Liujia Mansion is a typical Chinese garden building, and there is a pavilion not far from the conservatory.
It's just that it's the depths of winter, and it's dinner time, and there won't be a single one here at this time.
Xiang Kui stood in the gazebo and slowly calmed her breathing, and after a while, she remembered the sound of squirming footsteps behind her.
Her breath tightened, and she turned to look.
As soon as Shen Yi's feet stepped up the steps of the pavilion, he noticed Xiang Kui's gaze, and then he stopped in place.
The light leaking from the conservatory dispelled a lot of the darkness here.
Shen Yi stood in place and glanced at Xiang Kui up and down.
He crossed his chest, his eyes teased, and the tone of his voice was full of surprise.
"Tsk, if I hadn't known it was you, you would have been standing in front of me, and I wouldn't have recognized you at all. β
Xiang Kui looked at Shen Yi in front of her, the defense in her eyes had reached its peak, but she was completely like a different person.
His face was like frost, and his eyes even had a hint of murder.
"Shen Yi, disappeared for three years, why did you appear again?"
Xiang Kui didn't have the heart to catch up with Shen Yi, she just wanted to know what Shen Yi was active in the public eye again.
When the words fell, Shen Yi chuckled.
He continued to walk up the steps slowly, and then stood in front of Xiang Kui.
Xiang Kui was forced to take half a step back, her hands hanging at her sides, but she had already clenched into fists, obviously ready for her desperate efforts.
"Xiang Kui, you don't have to be so guarded, I can't beat you. β
Shen Yi immediately leaned on the pillar next to him casually, looking at Xiang Kui condescendingly.
His tone was slightly cold, "However, I came to you, you should be mentally prepared, after all, don't we still have an account to settle?"
When the words fell, the corners of Xiang Kui's lips suddenly pursed, and her face turned a little colder.
"You're here to get revenge on me, but you also know that you can't beat me much, three years ago, and still is. β
Xiang Kui looked at Shen Yi and asked the doubts in his heart.
But her tone was light and fluttery, sounding intimidating.
There was silence all around, and the pale moonlight was lightly sprinkled, echoing with the faint light revealed in the greenhouse, illuminating Xiang Kui's miserable face.
Shen Yi listened to Xiang Kui's words and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He looked at Xiang Kui and said, "Yes, I can't beat you, so I don't plan to solve it by force." β
Xiang Kui lost patience and said bluntly: "Shen Yi, stop beating around the bush and tell your purpose." β
"Happy. β
Shen Yi hooked his lips and smiled, "After so many years, your fiery temper hasn't changed." β
The expression on Xiang Kui's face became more and more forbearing, her fists clenched tightly, and her wrists trembled faintly.
Seeing this, Shen also knew that he couldn't tease anymore.
He also straightened his face, and then said: "You know, what did the third master send you here for, but now as long as you are willing to continue to do the tasks you didn't complete back then, we won't be guilty of the past." β
"Impossible!"
Before the end of Shen Yi's words fell, Xiang Kui directly refused.
She looked arrogant, with a hint of stubbornness, and replied: "It is impossible for me to hurt Chen! I will not do anything for the third master, if you have this idea, I advise you to die." β
"Huh-"
Shen Yi lowered his head and sneered, "Xiang Kui, are you a little too deep into the drama? You have to know what will happen to you if Chen Ci knows your identity? Do you still plan to use this identity to hide from him for the rest of your life? Don't dream." β
Xiang Kui said: "You don't need to take care of my affairs, you just need to know that I am no longer the third master's person, and I will no longer do things for you." β
After saying these words, Xiang Kui bypassed Shen Yi and planned to leave.
But after walking two steps, Xiang Kui stopped again.
She looked sideways at Shen Yi, and the frost on her face was unresolved.
"I've been doing Xiang Kui for more than ten years, I'm Xiang Kui! You don't want to destroy the happiness of me and Chen!"
"Shen Yi, let me tell you, people are forced to be in a hurry, they may do anything, and I will do the same when they threaten this set. β
"If the third master doesn't want to live the rest of his life in peace, you can come. β
Xiang Kui threw these words in front of Shen Yi domineeringly, and then turned his head and left here without looking back.
Shen Yi was frozen in place, but he didn't panic at all, but laughed slowly.
"This person is always easy to be too naΓ―ve, and if he is not hit, he will never know that there is only the most reliable profit in this world. β
Shen Yi left this sentence lightly, and then left with his feet raised.
......
The atmosphere of singing and dancing in the conservatory looked even more lively than just now.
Ruan Mianmian, Jiang Ce and the others had already come to the rest area to chat, and she had already turned her head and looked in the direction of the bathroom several times.
But I still didn't see Xiang Kui.
Just as she withdrew her gaze, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xiang Kui walking in through the conservatory door.
Xiang Kui's steps were very hurried, as if someone was chasing her behind her, her expression was also a little flustered, and she glanced back from time to time.
Not long after Xiang Kui walked in, Shen Yi followed.
He glanced at Xiang Aoi's back, a meaningful smile on his face, and then walked away in the other direction.
Intuition told Ruan Mianmian that the aura between these two people was not right.
But after thinking about it carefully, Ruan Mianmian couldn't think of anything specifically wrong.
"Why did you go so long?"
