Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

Mu Yao returned to Linglong Pavilion with an extremely heavy heart and stayed awake all night.

The sky turned pale, and the slowly rising sun emitted a red glow that quickly dyed the sky a layer of red.

The morning glow dispelled the darkness of the night and ushered in a new day, but it did not dispel the haze in her heart.

She put on her clothes and walked to the desk, flipping through the visiting cards from the past two days. She remembered that there was one from Helian Qing among them.

When she looked up again, a glare caught her attention. She opened the window and saw an exquisite gold-embroidered green peach and pearl hairpin lying on the windowsill. She picked it up gently and looked into the distance. This was the seventh piece of jewelry she had received in the past few days.

The first piece of jewelry he received was a pair of exquisite pink bead earrings. After Mu Yao happily put them on and dangled them in front of Xu Qingcheng for a whole day, his reaction made him realize that this gift was not from Xu Qingcheng.

From then on, a different piece of jewelry would be quietly placed on the windowsill every day, each one more gorgeous and more exquisitely crafted than the last.

Mu Yao panicked, thinking it was the work of the Lord from the Bloodthirsty Pavilion. But after thinking about it carefully, she quickly dismissed the idea. According to the Lord's personality, he would not leave quietly after giving a gift.

Whoever it was, this person probably had no ill will towards her, and had no intention of showing up.

Mu Yao locked the pearl hairpin into the treasure box, attached the message and the banknote, put it back to its original place and closed the door.

She chose a hibiscus purple dress from the closet and matched it with an eggshell yellow cape. She asked the steward Uncle Zhao to accept Helian Qing's invitation and arranged to meet for morning tea at the "Ruyi Pavilion" in "Shuiyunjian" in an hour.

In the dark, Liu Huifeng's charming peach blossom eyes watched Mu Yao's back sadly, and the 500,000 taels of silver in his hand were crumpled. He lowered his eyelids and stared at the beautiful handwriting on the note word by word, feeling extremely depressed.

I remember when the beauty put on the pink pearl earrings, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night. He searched through all the jewelry left by his mother in the treasure house of the villa, carefully selected a few of the best ones and gave them to the beauty. After that, he never saw her wear them again. Don't you like it?

His father said that the jewelry left by his mother was to be passed on to his future wife. The beauty left seven pieces, so the title of the wife of the young master of the first manor in the world must belong to her.

In order to protect Mu Yao, Liu Huifeng had fought with the Bloodthirsty Pavilion several times in the past few days. His old injuries had not healed yet, and he had new injuries. Perhaps "Wuming" was concerned about the Taifu Mansion and did not want to alarm the beauty. He, Li Yunchen, and Qin Lao joined forces to barely repel it.

He worked so hard, but the beauty didn't show any joy, and a feeling of grievance welled up in his heart.

"Water and Clouds" Restaurant

Shopkeeper Sun knew that the boss was coming, so he notified the kitchen early to start working. A group of cooks excitedly rushed to show off their various skills and made all the snacks in the building.

Soon, the eight-immortal table in "Ruyi Pavilion" was filled with a dazzling array of exquisite snacks.

Mu Yao, with an air of a fairy, walked into the building with a fluttering ribbon on her collar.

"Boss, you are here. The guests have arrived." Shopkeeper Sun greeted him respectfully, lowered his eyes and bowed, not daring to look directly at him.

It was not yet noon, and there were only two or three tables of guests in the building. Seeing a sparrow-colored figure standing tall on the stepping stone, everyone stood up to look. Before they could see clearly, it disappeared without a trace, as if what they had seen before was all an illusion.

Mu Yao stepped into the "Ruyi Pavilion" and unexpectedly did not see Helian Qing, but saw Helian Yun in a dark silver silk bamboo embroidered robe, holding a sand pot, slowly pouring tea into the green bowl. In an instant, the room was filled with the fragrance of tea and the air was lingering.

Helian Yun raised his eyes, a trace of tenderness in his eyes, and gently pushed the fragrant tea poured in front of him to the deputy companion, smiling and said: "Ms. Mu, how are you?"

Mu Yao sat down gracefully, lifted the teacup slightly with one hand, and put the tea into her mouth. The taste was bitter and sweet, mellow and long-lasting.

"Isn't this the tea from Shuiyunjian?" Mu Yao said softly.

Helian Yun smiled lightly, staring at her deeply, and said, "This is the specialty of Lanling County - Xishan Bailu."

Mu Yao paused and slowly put down the tea bowl.

Xishan Bailu - the only tea passed down by the Helian family to this day, specially used for wedding banquets.

Today she had asked Helian Qing to find out what Helian Yun meant. Now that he was here in person, it would be even better. After pondering for a moment, she opened her red lips and said, "Master Helian, is there any misunderstanding between us?"

Helian Yun paused the fragrant tea that was brought to his lips when he heard this, and blew on it lightly. The green tea leaves swirled in the bowl, slowly fell to the bottom of the bowl and floated up again.

He gently stroked the strand of black hair that fell on his chest, looked at Mu Yao with sparkling eyes, and said in a soft and hoarse voice: "Take it off. There is no need for a layer of separation between you and me."

His voice had a unique charm that bewitched Mu Yao into completely immersing herself in his heart and swimming towards him continuously.

The man in front of her had a fatal attraction. Looking at his pair of meaningful black eyes, it seemed that any words of rejection would be a blasphemy.

She shamelessly took off her veil, revealing her enchanting beauty.

Helian Yun tightened the tea bowl in his right hand, suppressed the restlessness in his abdomen, moved his gaze to the strands of hair on the beauty's forehead, leaned forward, stretched out his slender and powerful index finger to tuck it behind her ear.

The warm and delicate touch made his breathing gradually slow. He quickly sat back in his seat as if nothing had happened. He naturally picked up the green bowl and took a sip, then said slowly, "There is no misunderstanding. My lady, just wait for your marriage with peace of mind."

The deep and magnetic voice made Mu Yao suffocate for a moment. Helian Yun's deep and powerful gaze, the calmness, confidence and composure he exuded, and his strong physique all challenged her reason. It must be said that he was the most attractive man she had met so far, with a charm that even Xu Qingcheng could not match.

Her mind was now filled with the words "be at ease and wait for marriage". She was confused and wanted to refuse but couldn't open her mouth.

Seeing that Mu Yao looked unhappy and didn't say a word, Helian Yun said with a half-smile, "You can say whatever you want."

After a long while, when the other party had finished tasting the fourth cup in the green bowl in his hand, Mu Yao said in a deep voice: "I will be married in four days."

Helian Yun nodded slightly, and a knowing smile appeared on his handsome face: "No conflict."

Hearing this, Mu Yao was slightly annoyed, and said with a bit of anger in her eyes: "Why did you ask my father for marriage without confirming with me?"

Helian Yun looked at Mu Yao, and gradually stopped smiling. His dark eyes were bottomless, and he replied slowly, "I believe that Master Li has helped you recall what happened that day. What else do you need to confirm with me?"

"I really have no recollection of what happened that day. I should repay the life-saving favor with gratitude, but repaying with my body is too difficult for me. Brother Xu and I will be getting married soon, and may move to another place after the wedding. I have too many things to take care of, and I only have one heart. I have neither the heart nor the energy to renew my marriage with others. I hope that Master Helian can understand. I have ten shops in prosperous areas of Shangjing, and I would like to give them to you as a token of my gratitude." Mu Yao lowered her eyes and did not dare to look him in the eye, for fear that she would back down. She held her breath before finishing this paragraph.

The air was filled with the lingering fragrance of tea, silently.

When she looked up again, Mu Yao was shocked to find that Helian Yun had come to her without her noticing, and he held her tightly around his waist, pressing her hard against the fan wall behind him. There was a storm in his eyes, and the danger and cruelty revealed made Mu Yao lose her soul instantly, and she was stunned on the spot.

The extremely embarrassing and shameful posture instantly dyed her pear-shaped cheeks a deep red, which made her look even more charming in Helian Yun's eyes.

The slender, cold fingers pinched her cheeks and pressed against her pink cheeks. The strong body imprisoned her without any resistance. The folds of her clothes were wrinkled and had been torn apart at some point, revealing a large area of ​​white collarbone. The rich scent of sandalwood filled her nose and mouth. In horror, the delicately carved fingers sank into the other's three thousand black hairs, but the piercing pain did not make the man compromise, but instead made him demand more unscrupulously.

Only when those pink lips were rubbed into blood red did Helian Yun let her go.

"Do you remember it now? Just wait for your marriage. If you still can't remember it, you will have plenty of opportunities to recall it slowly in the future."

Helian Yun did not give Mu Yao any time to think. Under her extremely shocked gaze, he bowed in a standard manner and left calmly.

She sat alone in the "Ruyi Pavilion" until Qingcheng came to pick her up around noon. She then tried her best to adjust her mood, put on her veil and left with her.

Now the wedding of the two has been fully prepared. Xu Qingcheng got up early today and checked the details of the process again. After confirming that everything was correct, she excitedly discussed with her mother whether the date could be moved forward a few days, but was kicked out by Ye Jingshu on the spot.

"Ayao, I can't wait to marry you today. Excluding today, there are still three days. Why do I feel like the days are passing by so slowly and time is so long?" As he spoke, he took Mu Yao's soft hand and stroked it repeatedly.

Mu Yao was completely distracted at this moment, her thoughts were all over the place, and she leaned gently on his shoulder, closed her eyes and took a rest.

"Ayao, what did you talk about with Helian Qing today? Did you give her the invitation?"

Xu Qingcheng asked tentatively. He wanted to know if that nosy woman had asked his wife out to some messy party again. He hadn't settled the score with her for A Yao falling into the water last time.

After a long while, Xu Qingcheng did not get a response from Mu Yao.

Gently lifting the veil, a sweet and comfortable sleeping face came into view, accompanied by the sound of long breathing.

Suddenly, the excessive color on her lips made Xu Qingcheng's eyes and eyebrows filled with coldness. He raised his fingers and gently stroked them, stroking them repeatedly until the beautiful woman in his arms frowned slightly, and then he gently pulled down the veil.

His heart was filled with turmoil and his eyes revealed an unbelievable and terrifying light.

They were silent all the way, with heavy thoughts on their minds. When Xu Qingcheng sent Mu Yao back, for the first time, she left without even looking back.

Mu Yao was half asleep, with sleepy eyes. She woke up at 3 p.m. and found Xu Qingcheng was not in the house. After asking Uncle Zhao, she learned that he had left shortly after sending her back. Uncle Zhao seemed to be hesitant to speak, which puzzled Mu Yao, so she asked, "Uncle Zhao, do you have anything to say to me?"

Zhao Yu was not a nosy person, but he loved the "young master" in front of him, so he still said something: "Miss, when I came back today, my son-in-law didn't look very well."

A trace of panic and anxiety kept surging from the bottom of my heart.

She suddenly rushed to Linglong Pavilion, picked up the eight-treasure gilded lotus mirror on the dressing table, and saw a faint red mark on the corner of her lips.

Oops! I'm in trouble!

My mind was quickly thinking of all possible ways to make it work.

Adhering to the principle of never admitting her mistakes, she hastily put on a thick layer of lip balm and rushed to the Prime Minister's residence.

When Ye Jingshu saw her daughter-in-law coming to the house at this time, she was stunned for a moment. After she came to her senses, she quickly asked the kitchen to add some delicious dishes.

"Ayao, I made your favorite steamed cured meat today. Please stay for dinner tonight." Ye Jingshu said with a smile.

"Aunt, where is Brother Xu?" Mu Yao was thinking only of Xu Qingcheng. Even if 108 courses of royal delicacies were placed in front of her, she would have no appetite.

When she heard this, she remembered that her son seemed to have not returned home yet, so she asked Chen Yin and learned that Xu Qingcheng did not enter the mansion after returning from the Taifu Mansion and left alone.

Ye Jingshu was stunned, blinked her beautiful eyes twice, and immediately smiled: "He went to check the details of the wedding early this morning. The kid wants to get married a few days earlier. Look how anxious he is. Don't worry, Yao, he must be busy with something now. Just enjoy your meal later. The cooking skills in the mansion are good, and the taste is not worse than Zuiweilou."

He turned around and signaled Chen Yin to find Xu Qingcheng as soon as possible.

Inside "Weilaixiang", Xu Qingcheng leaned against the carved lattice along the street and drank strong liquor in big gulps.

The jade liquid slid across the tip of the tongue, along the jade-like jaw and soaked into the lapels, exuding a rich and mellow fragrance all over the body.

His handsome face was flushed. He supported his chin with his hand and looked at the bustling street downstairs with a dazed look.

The afterglow of sunset and the evening glow are intoxicating.

To whom can I tell my loneliness?

If we count the preface, it is always a light loss.

A pretty lilac-colored figure at the street corner stared at the man in green clothes upstairs for half an hour.

The gently opened collar, the black eyes dotted with stars, and the delicate blush at the corners of the eyes made Shen Liuying's heart flutter.

As if possessed by some mysterious force, she slowly walked into the restaurant.

The streets were lit by candlelight, and the orange-red flames made Xu Qingcheng's already handsome face look even more enchanting. The breeze blew, his sleeves fluttered, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and he looked like a banished immortal.

His hair had long since fallen off, and his satin-like black hair was blown up by the wind, floating freely on his shoulders. Where was the dignity of the "Cold Plum Prince" in the past? He had already turned into a deadly poisonous poppy, which made people imagine it. Even if he was like a moth flying into a flame, he had no regrets.

Shen Liuying stared at the man in front of her with a flushed face. He was the man she had secretly admired since childhood. Many years ago, the Xu family came to propose marriage, and she was delighted to think that it was to marry Xu Qingcheng, but she didn't expect that they came for Xu Ruchen.

She is a coward. This love has been hidden in her heart for so long that she almost forgot her age.

The aroma that filled the room gradually numbed every nerve of Shen Liuying, and she moved towards her lover step by step with extreme caution. The strong smell of alcohol and the unique hormones of a young man filled her nostrils, torturing her soul.

"Ayao?" Xu Qingcheng slightly opened her half-closed beautiful eyes, tried her best to prop up half of her body, and looked at the purple in front of her in a trance.
