Chapter 177: Marrying by force is easy
"I brought you here, so I should come and visit."
"How does this make sense?" Ji Huaimin asked.
Yue Xiangli ignored the sarcastic tone in his voice and sat down, "I'm right here."
Ji Huaimin felt as if he was exerting his strength on cotton.
Ning Sangyu threw the apple core into the trash can and reached out to Ji Huaimin, "Brother, wipe your hands."
Ji Huaimin worked hard and washed the towel to wipe her hands, "Why aren't you being lazy to death?"
"Do you have to take care of me and grumble at the same time?" Ning Sangyu stared at him.
"I dare not." Ji Huaimin put the handkerchief on the edge of the basin, "If you say you are unhappy, you will have to coax me again."
Ning Sangyu raised her chin and said, "I want to eat the cakes that Yue Shuai brought. They taste like black gold pastry. I can smell it."
Ji Huaimin lowered his eyes and untied the rope, "Little greedy ghost."
The "ill-intentioned" warlords tried to please them, but they couldn't drive them away.
"You're so greedy, but you don't even buy me a roast duck."
Ji Huaimin was helpless. "Buy, buy, buy. I'll buy it in a few days so you don't have to worry about it every day."
Ning Sangyu was happy and turned to look at Yue Xiangli. Coincidentally, he was also looking at her. She didn't know what to say for a moment.
Yue Xiangli looked at her stunned expression and said, "There is also a portion of mulberry and yam in it. Try it and see if it tastes good."
Her expression in front of her brother was unusually vivid.
She nodded, "Does Yue Shuai like to eat cakes?"
"My younger brother likes to eat it, so he buys it often."
"Which one do you want to eat?" Ji Huaimin asked.
"Mulberry and yam cake." She turned back to him with anticipation in her eyes.
Ji Huaimin glanced at Yue Xiangli and handed the cake to her, "Eat less, you still have to eat dinner later."
"Hmm." She took it and forgot what he said next. "It's really delicious."
The more Xiang Li looked at her lively appearance, his eyes softened a little.
Ji Huaimin saw Yue Xiangli's gentle expression from the corner of his eye, then looked at his sister on the bed, and finally said, "Yue Yue Shuai, shall we go out and talk?"
"Yeah." Yue Xiangli stood up and walked out the door.
Hearing this, Ning Sangyu turned around and looked at their backs as they left.
What do they have to talk about?
After going downstairs, Yue Xiangli glanced at the serious-looking man next to him and said, "Ask."
"I want to know what the more handsome you are."
"what do you mean?"
"Sangsang."
"I want to welcome her into my Yue Mansion and make her my mistress." Yue Xiangli stood with his hands behind his back, looking upstairs.
"How on earth did Sangsang catch your eye?" The warlords were so cunning and heartless that Ji Huaimin couldn't believe it.
Yue Xiangli lowered his eyes, "I don't need a reason to like you."
"The first time I saw her, she was frightened by the gunshot and tried to remain calm."
When she looked over, her eyes were full of light, and the sunrise over the Qingjiang River was not half as bright as hers.
When spring comes to a dead tree, she will appear in the world.
"She's in chaos at Yingle Building, and you're not here."
"She was kidnapped and you were away."
"She was injured and you were not here."
"Ji Huaimin, you have things you need to do in troubled times. You can't protect her, but I can."
Yue Xiangli's words dealt Ji Huaimin a heavy blow, and he realized completely that he could not have the best of both worlds.
"How can I know how long your love will last?"
"As long as I am here, I exist." Yue Xiangli turned to look at him.
Ji Huaimin looked at him and said, "This is a big gamble. I bet I will win."
With his status, it would be easy for him to marry someone by force.
"From the moment I met her, you won."
Ji Huaimin looked upstairs in silence, and as the sun was about to set he said, "I'm going to buy dinner."
Yue Xiangli strode up the stairs.
Ji Huaimin turned around and looked at his back as he walked with the wind, his expression slightly relaxed.
If you care, I hope this care will last until dawn.
Yue knocked on Li's door and heard her voice calling "Come in" from inside.
Ning Sangyu saw that he was alone and asked, "Where is my brother?"
"I'm going to buy you dinner." Yue Xiangli half-closed the door, and seeing that the water in the ceramic cup had been finished, he asked, "Do you want some water?"
"Yes, put some sugar."
"Yeah." Yue Xiangli raised the corners of his lips slightly.
"Isn't Yue Shuai going back to eat?"
"I'll be back later. Are you chasing me away?"
"No." Who dares to drive him away?
"What do you want to eat? I'll bring it to you."
"Will you come tomorrow?" Ning Sangyu looked puzzled.
She remembered that he seemed to be a warlord who ruled a certain area. When she first met him, he was so cold that ice chips could fall off his body, and he looked ferocious like a killer.
"not welcome?"
"Welcome, are you busy?" Did she dare to say no?
"I'm not busy at the moment, and you haven't told me what you want to eat."
"Double-nut milk skin puff pastry, is that okay?"
"Yeah." Yue Xiangli put the cup on the table and looked down at her, "It's a little hot, let it sit for a while before drinking."
Meeting his gentle gaze, Ning Sangyu blinked, looking away, a little flustered.
After a while, she looked at him again and pointed to the book at the end of the bed. "I want to read a magazine."
His eyes remained gentle.
Yue looked towards Li and saw two magazines at the end of the bed. "Which one do you want to read?"
"New Youth."
Yue Xiangli handed her the New Youth and asked, "Can I read another one?"
"can."
Ning Sangyu opened the magazine, looked up, and looked at his profile across the pages.
She touched the cup and found it was not so hot anymore, so she drank some water, guessing a lot in her mind.
Yue Xiangli knew she was looking at him, but he just flipped through the magazine quietly.
After a while, Ji Huaimin came back, looked at the two people sitting quietly in the room, and put the food on the table.
Yue Xiangli put the magazine away, looked at Ning Sangyu and said, "Come over tomorrow afternoon."
"Oh, okay."
Yue Xiangli turned around and left with the guards.
"Brother, he's so weird."
"What's so strange about that?" Ji Huaimin put the food out.
"Why did he come to see me? He said he would come tomorrow."
"You think he's crazy." Ji Huaimin handed her the spoon, "You still have some left in your stomach, right?"
Ning Sangyu nodded, "Why do you say that?"
Seeing her puzzled expression, Ji Huaimin organized his words for a while, "What do you think of him?"
Ning Sangyu thought hard and said, "It's... pretty good?"
Just seeing him made her feel a little strange.
"Are you afraid of him?"
"I'm not afraid now. I was quite scared when I first saw him, but you said he was pretty nice, so I wasn't that scared anymore. Plus, he saved me and he treated me pretty well afterwards."
Ji Huaimin didn't expect that she was not afraid that Yue Xiangli's contact also had her own "contribution". If he had known this, he would not have said that to her.
"Sangsang, do you want to go back home?"
Although she didn't understand why he changed the subject so much, Ning Sangyu still replied, "I don't want to. There's no one at home. I'm scared to be alone at home."
The warlords occupying Qushan Province were tyrannical and brutal. They often captured able-bodied men to expand their military strength and broke into people's homes every now and then to arrest people. Some pretty girls were also captured. She was scared to death.
"Then you can live in Zhencheng from now on." Ji Huaimin lowered his eyes.
But he will be transferred to other places to perform tasks soon, and he can't keep her with him all the time. It would be dangerous and hard.
"From what you said, you didn't plan to let me stay in Zhencheng before?" She looked up at him.
"I had planned to let you and I live in Zhencheng for a while, and then entrust you to other friends. Now I have changed my mind. You can live in Zhencheng."
Ning Sangyu was accompanied by someone on the boat from her hometown to Zhencheng, but she received a temporary mission and got off the boat at the pier before arriving in Zhencheng.
