CHAPTER 334: CHAPTER 130 XIAO JINXING GETS ANGRY_2

He watched Ye Qichi with a cold gaze.

Ye Qichi also looked back at Xiao Jinsen without flinching.

"Ye Qichi, you really have, successfully caught my attention," Xiao Jinsen stated bluntly, enunciating every word.

Ye Qichi felt a wave of nausea inside.

Do you think you’re some overbearing CEO?!

And successfully caught your attention.

Ye Qichi gave a bow, "If there is any way this consort has offended your Highness, please quell your anger. It was truly unintentional."

"You even realize you’ve offended me?" Xiao Jinsen looked at Ye Qichi with apparent interest.

He increasingly found this woman, extraordinarily intelligent, perhaps even wise beyond measure.

Seeming completely oblivious to everything, but in truth, her mind is as clear as a mirror, seeing right through others with clarity.

Indeed.

He was not mistaken in his estimation.

Ye Qichi is Xiao Jinxing’s dark horse.

The reason Xiao Jinxing has developed to this point and quickly gained the Emperor’s favor – Ye Qichi’s contributions are indispensable.

This woman, has truly piqued his interest.

Compared to Bai Mowan...

Bai Mowan was desired for her family background, but Ye Qichi entirely because of who she is.

Xiao Jinsen felt a sudden stir in his heart.

Surprised by his own concept of "attainment" at this moment.

He actually harbored such intense feelings for a woman.

Now, seeing Ye Qichi standing in front of him, he felt an urge, an impulse to take her into his arms.

Xiao Jinsen clenched his fists involuntarily.

His expression, too, seemed to have soured.

Ye Qichi naturally noticed the change in Xiao Jinsen’s expression; looking at his cruel gaze shaking with fury towards her, she didn’t need to think twice – this man was definitely plotting to kill her. No matter how she tried to clear herself, Xiao Jinsen naturally wouldn’t believe her.

Her heart couldn’t help but feel some melancholy.

Being transported into a novel is truly exhausting.

The two stood there, silent.

Ye Qichi could feel that Xiao Jinsen truly hated her to the point where he might strangle her, thinking he might storm off in a rage, yet he just stood there before her for so long without leaving.

Ye Qichi grew impatient.

After thinking it over.

Since she was already being targeted by Xiao Jinsen, there was no need to cater to him. Pandering would be useless.

She said, "This consort requests to be excused."

No need for any polite words, simply not wanting to stand with this individual any longer.

Having said that, she turned to leave.

Just as she took a step.

Xiao Jinsen suddenly, with one swift move, grabbed Ye Qichi’s hand.

Ye Qichi’s brows furrowed slightly.

She was very close to striking with a palm.

Now with some martial arts skills, she was tempted to employ them.

At the critical moment, however, she held back.

In the Imperial Palace, assaulting a Prince would likely be a capital offence.

Xiao Jinsen might just be setting a trap for her.

Moreover.

With her current rudimentary martial arts, she might not even be able to defeat Xiao Jinsen.

Although Xiao Jinsen’s Combat Power is unsurprisingly not as formidable as that of the protagonist Xiao Jinxing, it’s still above that of an ordinary person.

After an internal struggle, Ye Qichi chose to wait and see how things unfolded.

She turned, "Prince Chu?"

Her fingers twitched slightly.

Being held by Xiao Jinsen in such a manner was obviously unreasonable.

Xiao Jinsen knew it too.

He also knew that his current behavior was bold. If discovered, both he and Ye Qichi would be punished.

Even though he was aware of this, as he held Ye Qichi’s small hand and felt the movement of her fingers, he just couldn’t bring himself to let go. At that moment, he was even tantalized by her stirring fingers...

His Adam’s apple bobbed.

His emotions seemed to be in a stir.

Ye Qichi frowned.

What on earth was this man up to?!

In the Imperial Palace, in full view of the public, Xiao Jinsen was holding onto her hand and refused to let go? Was he so obsessed to the point of dragging himself down with her just to kill her?!

All because she did not lie for him today.

Damn it, Ye Qichi cursed inwardly.

If you’re seeking revenge, go after Xiao Jinxing and Bai Mowan first, why involve her?!

Her eyes tightened, her voice cold with a hint of threat, "Has Prince Chu forgotten how he was forced to marry Miss Xie today?"

It was a reminder.

Has he not suffered enough today?!

Does he want to repeat the same mistake and disappoint the Emperor once again?

That sentence.

Clearly made Xiao Jinsen snap out of it instantly.

As if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.

He should be filled with rage and hatred towards Ye Qichi, his direct approach was meant to ridicule her, but he didn’t expect to fall because of her... He could not possibly have feelings for any woman.
