The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

She knew that Fang Qingman's purpose in coming to this banquet was to find a suitable husband, and that her favorite candidate was Gu Jinyi. Therefore, she was full of malice towards her at this moment, which was why she said those words on purpose.

Fang Qingman's lips moved slightly, but she finally frowned and coldly snorted, "It's none of your business!"

Of course, she couldn't admit that she came for a particular man, nor could she admit that she was simply there to attend the banquet. If she did, those with ulterior motives would surely exclude her, and then what use would she be for finding a husband?

Fang Qingyou glanced at Fang Qingman with a bright smile, her expression revealing undisguised smugness: "If that's the case, then I'll give the same to Miss Fang the Second."

She had to be smug. Fang Qingman had come for Gu Jinyi, but Gu Jinyi hadn't even glanced at her. Instead, he had greeted her.

She wanted to remind Fang Qingman that she had eaten the grapes and knew they were sweet.

Fang Qingman was furious. What was this wild, illegitimate daughter so proud of? Young Master Gu had only said one sentence to her, and look at this little bitch, she was practically wagging her tail in the air.

Fang Qingyou's expression grew even more smug, and she looked at Fang Qingman with her eyes, saying, "Fang Qingman, if you're so capable, why don't you get Young Master Gu to say a word to you too!"

Sensing Fang Qingyou's provocation, Fang Qingman could no longer contain her anger: "Fang Qingyou, you..."

Just as Fang Qingman raised her hand, about to slap Fang Qingyou, a cold and indifferent gaze made her freeze instantly.

The chill made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave, as if the blood in her body was about to freeze.

Following that frightening gaze, I glanced over and saw Luo Qianmo's icy, frosty eyes.

Fang Qingman's heart trembled violently. If looks could kill, she would probably be dead by now.

Luo Qianmo's long, jade-like fingers pointed at Fang Qingman without a trace of warmth: "You..."

Fang Qingman quickly replied, "Eighth Prince, I am Miss Fang Qingman, the Second Miss Fang."

She was terrified, but Fang Qingman had already said her name.

Keep in mind, this was the first time someone like Luo Qianmo had ever noticed her.

Although Luo Qianmo's gaze was practically murderous, she was still very proud.

"The Fang family residence?" Luo Qianmo seemed to be searching his mind for information about the Fang family residence.

Upon seeing this, Fang Qingman quickly added, "Eighth Prince, my father is Minister of Works, Lord Fang."

Luo Qianmo nodded in understanding: "So it's the Fang residence where Miss Fang lives."

Fang Qingman's pride shattered instantly. It turned out that Luo Qianmo hadn't noticed her because of her. He remembered the Fang family, not even because of Fang Xing'an, the Minister of Works, but because of Fang Qingyou.

Because of that wild girl, Fang Qingyou!

Fang Qingyou smiled at Luo Qianmo at the opportune moment: "The Eighth Prince is wise."

Deep down, she idolized Luo Qianmo; he was just too handsome.

Previously, she always thought she liked the gentle and warm type of man, but now she realizes that she is even more irresistible to men with a domineering CEO vibe.

She felt that her eyes were filled with pink hearts when she looked at Luo Qianmo. This man was just too handsome!

Luo Qianmo gave a faint smile: "Mm."

Immediately, he took his seat with Young Master Yuan.

His outward reaction was calm, but only he knew how much joy he couldn't hide inside.

He was very pleased with the infatuation in the young woman's eyes.

She was so well-behaved that he couldn't help but want to lessen his punishment for her.

However, she still needs to be punished, since she stared at any man other than him for so long.

Thinking this, she glanced at Gu Jinyi sideways and then gave him a cold, provocative look.

Although he disliked anyone coveting his woman, he found it quite challenging if the opponent was Gu Jinyi.

Despite Luo Qianmo's undisguised hostility, Gu Jinyi maintained a gentle smile, though only he knew the bitterness in his heart.

He wanted to be Luo Qianmo's enemy, but he was completely unqualified.

Previously, he might have been able to compete with Luo Qianmo, but now, Fang Qingyou's heart is completely devoted to him.

What right does he have to compete with Luo Qianmo?

If he wasn't mistaken, Fang Qingyou and Luo Qianmo's relationship improved and even developed while they were traveling south.

If he had known this would happen, he might have pursued Fang Qingyou without hesitation and told her his true feelings.

If she had known his heart all along, perhaps the person she would be thinking of right now would be Gu Jinyi.

He was just one step away from her. Because of her indifference at the time, he buried those words deep in his heart, but now he has to watch her and Luo Qianmo being so sweet together.

He was just one step away from being the one standing next to her.

His pride prevented him from lowering his head to compete with other men for a woman, especially since the woman's heart didn't belong to him.

What he wanted was a genuine connection between two people, a pure and simple love, not a one-sided infatuation.

What's more, this man is Luo Qianmo.

The kind of man who will never let go once he's made up his mind about something.

Among all the princes, he was the only man he couldn't see through.

That man who, once he considers someone his mortal enemy, will fight to the death.

If he were just Gu Jinyi, perhaps he would have bravely taken that step and pursued the woman he loved.

But he wasn't.

He is still the eldest son of the Gu family, with the entire Gu family behind him.

He could give everything for a woman, but he couldn't abandon his family.

The Gu family is like his bones, already grown into his body, while Fang Qingyou is like the blood flowing in his veins; once lost, life turns into death.

As the eldest son of the Gu family, he had already made up his mind when he understood the woman's heart, but why did his heart still ache so much, and why was he still so unwilling to accept it?

The moment Luo Qianmo shifted his gaze from Gu Jinyi, the sweet, metallic taste rising in Gu Jinyi's throat could no longer be contained, and it turned into a trickle of bright red blood that spilled from the corner of his mouth.

He casually picked up a piece of white silk and slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

As the eldest son of the Gu family, one must not reveal any of one's weaknesses to anyone.

An Fei's heart broke at the sight: "Young Master, why don't we go back? Why do you insist on staying here?"

Gu Jinyi's voice was indifferent, as if it would dissipate in the wind at any moment: "Because I am Young Master Gu."
