Qiao Wanwan seemed to hear a "gurgling" sound from the wheelchair.

She panicked for a moment and yelled at the man below.

"Let go!"

"!"

Qiao Wanwan's shout stunned Gu Chaomu, who was beneath her.

Startled, Qiao Wanwan let go of his grip and managed to get away, quickly standing up.

Looking behind, all I could see was the back of the man in the wheelchair being pushed away.

"... "

Qiao Wanwan's face instantly turned sour.

They were struggling internally:

It's so miserable.

The villain saw me taking advantage of his white moonlight!

I hope all the goodwill I had towards you won't just disappear all at once!

Help! This was the goodwill she had finally earned from the villain, and it all vanished in an instant.

She stamped her feet anxiously, gritting her teeth.

This is so annoying! I just tripped and fell, and of all times I had to fall on top of Gu Chaomu!

Chunxia helped her up and asked cautiously:

"Miss, are you hurt anywhere?"

"fine!"

Gu Chaomu, sitting on the ground, looked at her strange behavior, but no one around him paid any attention to him.

They were all slightly stunned, and awkwardly stood up.

Qiao Wanwan's behavior was completely different from what he had imagined.

He pursed his lips in thought:

He gave Qiao Wanwan a chance. Given her personality, shouldn't she be very shy and extremely grateful to him?

But this woman just yelled at him!

"Wanwan, are you alright?"

Only after hearing the male lead's voice did the frantic Qiao Wanwan slowly calm down.

Seeing Gu Chaomu staring at him with a somewhat incredulous look in his eyes.

Only then did she realize that the man had done it on purpose.

Is the male lead framing her?

Seeing Qiao Wanwan's suspicion of him, Gu Chaomu felt no regret, but simply asked her with concern:

You don't look well. Did you hurt yourself somewhere?

"No, thank you Brother Gu for saving Wanwan."

"That's good."

The man feigned a sigh of relief, appearing very affectionate, and asked with a gentle smile:

"Wanwan, I heard from Steward Zhong that today is the Lantern Festival in Anqi City. Why don't we go out for a stroll together tonight?"

"!"

Enjoying the lantern festival?

When Qiao Wanwan heard about going shopping, her eyes immediately lit up.

But then, thinking about the situation outside, he said with some worry:

"It must be very dangerous outside? That Miss Qin..."

Gu Chaomu chuckled and patted his chest, assuring her:

"Wanwan, don't be afraid. With Brother Gu here, no one outside will be able to harm you in the slightest. Besides, we're just going to enjoy the lanterns. There are so many people on the street; they won't spoil everyone's fun."

"makes sense."

Suddenly, the image of Xie Ze, who had just left, flashed into Qiao Wanwan's mind. His lonely figure seemed quite angry.

But shouldn't Gu Chaomu have gone with Xie Ze to see the lantern?

Why did you invite an outsider like her?

Huh?

its not right.

If that's the case, why not have Gu Chaomu go and arrange a meeting with Xie Ze?

This might also help to salvage Xie Ze's angry mood.

With a hidden agenda, she asked Gu Chaomu.

"Brother Gu, have you invited Young Master Xie yet?"

"Brother Xie?"

"Ah."

"... "

Gu Chaomu frowned slightly as he looked at the woman's bright, sparkling eyes.

Why did Qiao Wanwan bring him up when she was perfectly fine?

Could it be that she really has feelings for Xie Ze?

Gu Chaomu's face gradually turned ashen, and he asked Qiao Wanwan with a forced smile:

"You really want him to come along?"

"It's not that I really want to be with him, but we all live in the Xie family's house, and it would be really inappropriate not to invite the host to join us."

“Wanwan’s words make sense, but his leg is not convenient, and being in such a crowded place is not good for his health.”

Oh ~

So you were worried about his health!

Qiao Wanwan nodded in satisfaction and smiled as she assured him:

"Don't worry about Brother Gu, with us all around him, how could he possibly get jostled? I'm sure Young Master Xie will be very happy to know that he's enjoying the lantern festival with you."

"... "

"Wanwan, what do you mean?"

"Isn't it clear? Brother Gu, why don't you go and persuade Young Master Xie? How about we go out together tonight?"

"Go? That seems a bit inconvenient..."

"How could it be inconvenient?"

"These lanterns are things for girls, and Brother Gu, being a grown man, is too embarrassed to say it out loud."

"... "

Qiao Wanwan fell silent for a moment.

Feeling a little embarrassed?

Why are you talking to me so enthusiastically?

Okay, let's just assume he's shy around villains.

Qiao Wanwan smiled gently and said considerately:

"In that case, Wanwan will go and ask for you. We'll meet together tonight."

After saying that, Qiao Wanwan turned and left with her maid.

"Hey, Wanwan!"

Gu Chaomu called to her from behind, but she didn't stop for a moment.

The man's eyes darkened slightly, and he clenched his fist.

Gu Chaomu's face was grim, and she was internally complaining.

Is she unable to understand human language?

This was originally a date he arranged for Qiao Wanwan.

But the other party wants to bring that man along, ruining their romantic date?

It has to be said, Qiao Wanwan is an incredibly stupid woman.

They don't do things according to his wishes at all.

This kind of woman is the kind of woman he, a chauvinist, hates the most.

...

Qiao Wanwan looked somewhat somber as she walked down the street.

Chunxia, ​​who was beside her, also noticed that something was wrong with her mistress and asked worriedly:

"Miss, what's wrong?"

"Right now, all I can think about is how to properly explain what just happened to Xie Ze."

Chunxia was taken aback.

"Just now? Young Master Xie was there too?"

"Hmm, didn't you sense the killing intent he was releasing?"

"Spring and Summer didn't feel it."

Chunxia shook her head and continued to ask with concern:

"So, Miss, are you still going to see Young Master Xie?"

"Of course, if you don't apologize, you might not be able to stay here in the future."

"Young Master Xie wouldn't be so petty as to kick us out, would he?"

"Human hearts are treacherous; no one can fathom their true nature."

"Ok."

Chunxia silently shut her mouth, feeling much relieved after hearing her mistress's words.

At the very least, Miss now knows the idiom 'human nature is treacherous'.

They asked the servants along the way and finally found Xie Ze's courtyard. As soon as they entered, they were greeted by a scholarly atmosphere.

After passing through the corridor, you can see Xie Yi standing at the door of the master bedroom.

Xie Yi, holding his sword, looked at Qiao Wanwan approaching and raised his hand to block her path.

"Miss Qiao, stop right there. My young master doesn't allow outsiders to enter. What brings you here? Just explain to your subordinate."

Xie Yi looked at Qiao Wanwan with disdain, as if he had some deep-seated grudge against her.

"... "

Qiao Wanwan also gave him a cold look and explained the purpose of her visit.

"Please tell Young Master Xie that Brother Gu has invited him to go out to the Lantern Festival tonight. Ask him if he's free?"

"Alright, please wait here for a moment. Xie Yi will go and report to the young master."

"Ah."

Xie Yi gently opened the door and then closed it again.

She quickly walked to Xie Ze's side by the window and saw the young master's long eyelashes slightly raised as he gazed at the scenery outside without saying a word, seemingly lost in thought.

He then gently reminded the young master, "Reporting..."

"Young Master, Miss Qiao is outside."

The man gazing at the scenery heard the name of the person he longed for, his eyelids twitched slightly, and he turned to look at Xie Yi.

"Wanwan?"

"Yes, it's Miss Qiao."

"Let her in quickly."

"Young Master, didn't you say that outsiders weren't allowed in?"

"... "

Xie Ze's eyes turned cold, displeased with Xie Yi's questioning of him.

"Is Wanwan an outsider?"

What? Isn't she an outsider?

She's still a woman who deceives people's feelings...

Xie Yi thought to himself, but when he saw the young master's furrowed brows, he was stunned for a moment.

With a displeased expression, Xie Ze coldly uttered a single word from his thin lips.

"go with!"

"Yes."

Xie Yi knew that the young master was about to get angry, so he immediately bowed and left without lingering.

Seeing Qiao Wanwan, I was filled with disbelief. The young master was actually so infatuated with this woman.

She pursed her lips slightly, and said coldly with some resentment:

"Miss Qiao, the young master wants you to come in alone."

"it is good."
