The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife
Chapter 383 Return My Jade Pendant
After Jiang Li heard his words, the anger in her heart was instantly ignited, and she stared at him tightly with her eyes, as if she was about to spit out fire. However, facing this powerful and domineering man in front of her, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Although she was full of anger in her heart, she had no way to deal with it.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then someone brought in new food. Wanyan Yi raised his lips slightly, waved at Jiang Li, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Li, come and eat! Otherwise, you won't have the energy to travel tomorrow." After that, he leisurely picked up the chopsticks and began to enjoy the sumptuous food in front of him.
Jiang Li still stood motionless by the window, her eyes fixed on the fragrant food on the table, but her feet seemed to be nailed in place and she couldn't move a step. At this moment, her stomach was already growling with hunger, but when she thought of Wanyan Yi putting drugs in the food before, her heart started beating, and she was hesitant and didn't dare to go forward easily.
As if seeing through Jiang Li's thoughts, Wanyan Yi chewed the food in his mouth slowly and said lightly: "Don't worry, as long as you are obedient and don't try to escape or play any tricks, I will naturally not let them give you those messy medicines." Hearing this, Jiang Li's worries were slightly relieved. After hesitating for a long time, he finally plucked up the courage and slowly walked towards the dining table.
Arriving at the table, Jiang Li was still very cautious. She first sniffed the food and confirmed that there was nothing unusual. Then she sat down slowly and picked up her chopsticks to eat in small bites. Because she was so hungry, she ate very quickly, but she chewed every bite carefully, fearing that something unexpected would happen. In a short while, Jiang Li had swept away all the food in the bowl. After filling her stomach, she raised her head and her eyes fell directly on Wanyan Yi.
Jiang Li suddenly slapped the table hard, making a "bang" sound, which startled Wanyan Yi who was concentrating on eating. Then, she pointed her finger at the clothes she was wearing, with a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction in her eyes.
Seeing this, Wanyan Yi showed a half-smile on his face and said softly: "Your clothes were changed by Concubine Wei. Don't worry, she is always careful and thoughtful." After hearing this explanation, Jiang Li did not completely believe it. Instead, he shook his head angrily, continued to point to his waist, and made a purse shape with his hands, as if he wanted to express something.
"Your purse can never be returned to you! You don't know, because of the bead in your purse, that fellow named Mu Jiuchen actually chased me relentlessly, and it took me a lot of effort to finally get rid of him!" Wanyan Yi picked up the teacup gracefully and took a sip of the fragrant tea. Although the gray robe he was wearing at the moment looked a little shabby, it still could not conceal his innate noble temperament.
After hearing this, Jiang Li's drooping eyelids trembled slightly, then he slowly raised his head, shook his head at Wanyan Yi, stretched out his hands to make the shape of a jade pendant, and then pointed at himself.
"Oh? Is this what you are talking about?" Seeing this, Wanyan Yi raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, then reached into his arms and fumbled for a while, and finally took out a jade pendant with a red rope. The texture was warm and the whole body was as white as snow.
As soon as Jiang Li saw the jade pendant, his eyes lit up with surprise, and he stepped forward impatiently, wanting to grab it. However, Wanyan Yi reacted very quickly, and he turned around like a ghost, easily avoiding Jiang Li's snatch.
"Hehe, you want this jade pendant back? That depends on whether you are sincere enough!" There was a sly smile flashing in Wanyan Yi's narrow eyes, as if he was deliberately teasing Jiang Li who was anxious in front of him.
Wanyan Yi was teasing Jiang Li with a playful look on his face, as if he was playing with a kitten. However, Jiang Li was not a soft persimmon that could be manipulated by others. She looked at him with a sharp gaze, thinking in her heart that she must not let this guy succeed so easily. So, she suddenly gave up the action of competing with Wanyan Yi and walked towards the window instead.
Coming to the window, Jiang Li quietly gazed at the bustling and lively streets outside the window. People were walking in a hurry or leisurely, forming a vivid and lively market picture. But at this moment, Jiang Li had no intention of appreciating all this. She took a deep breath, raised her legs and pretended to jump out of the window.
Wanyan Yi, who had been watching Jiang Li's every move, was shocked when he saw this. He instantly realized that something was wrong and rushed forward. Although he knew that jumping from this height would not cause too much harm to Jiang Li, this move would definitely attract the attention of the nearby patrol soldiers, which would cause big trouble.
At this time, Jiang Li had one foot hanging outside the window, and the other foot was still inside the house. She was shaky and looked extremely dangerous. However, her beautiful face was expressionless, as cold as an iceberg, and she just stared at Wanyan Yi. In fact, Jiang Li was also betting on her own life, betting on whether Wanyan Yi would choose to compromise with her because he was worried that the matter would get out of hand.
As expected, seeing Jiang Li's resolute attitude, Wanyan Yi finally gave in. He quickly shouted, "Don't be impulsive, I was just joking with you. I'll give you the jade pendant back!" As he said that, he hurriedly placed the jade pendant on the table.
Jiang Li still did not relax her vigilance. She pointed her finger at the jade pendant on the table, then at the door, signaling Wanyan Yi to leave the room. Wanyan Yi frowned tightly, and his eyes twitched unconsciously. He was obviously very angry about Jiang Li's request. But at this point, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and finally turned and walked towards the door...
