The next morning.
Qi Yan got up refreshed.
When he saw his sister-in-law getting up and busy rolling out the rolling pin in the kitchen, there was a smile on her lips.
Little did he know that the dumplings had already melted in his mouth.
Immediately, after giving an explanation, he turned around and walked out the door.
In the city.
Qi Yan estimated the two story scripts he wrote last night, and he was thinking in his heart. He didn't know if Ye Huayi would be satisfied, but judging from his previous guesses, the other party should be satisfied.
So, Qi Yan walked into Mo Yunxuan's door with this mentality.
Receptionist Huang Cuicui knew that Qi Yan was an honored guest of her own lady, so she hurriedly stepped forward, smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist Qi, I haven't seen you for a long time~"
"Long time no see."
Seeing the other party's response, the receptionist added: "My lady is waiting for you in the private room. Fellow Daoist Qi can just go up on his own."
"good."
After that, Qi Yan helped him up the stairs to the private room without saying a word.
However, before reaching the door of the private room, there was a conversation in the room.
"Hua Yi, this marriage is related to the interests of the family, and I cannot allow you to refuse~" an old man said majestically.
When Qi Yan heard this, he frowned, knowing that now was not a good time to go in, so he froze in place for a moment.
"Family interests?"
Ye Huayi sneered and said with a sneer: "Could it be that Fourth Uncle has forgotten how you did not save my mother when the Ghost Spirit Sect was chasing her?"
"Oh..." Ye Huayi said contemptuously, pretending to suddenly realize: "It seems that it is also for the benefit of the family!"
After hearing this, the old man understood what the other party meant, and a lot of old memories came to his mind, and he said guiltily: "I know that I did feel sorry for you and my daughter about what happened back then, but the matter is over after all."
"Besides... your mother later returned to the clan, so why do you have to be so worried about her?"
"Heh~"
Ye Huayi snorted coldly: "She is her, and I am me."
"If you want to use my marriage to serve your family, it is absolutely impossible."
Ye Huayi flicked her sleeves and looked at the other party with an indifferent expression, making her attitude clear.
The old man was speechless for a moment, knowing that if the current situation were to prevail, there would be no chance of persuading the other party to agree to the marriage.
Then he suddenly changed his mind and changed his strategy. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "That's it. We will discuss this matter later."
After finishing speaking, he seemed to think of something and continued: "In addition, the family's business has been declining sharply recently, and the income of each branch has been continuously tight. If Mo Yunxuan has a business segment that is not profitable enough, he might as well cut it off."
Having said this, Qi Yan roughly understood that the old man was trying every means to force his niece to get married...
Seeing that hard work failed, they began to adopt roundabout tactics.
This inevitably made Qi Yan worried. If his imperial sister listened to the old man's slander, what would he do to his business?
Unexpectedly, after Ye Huayi heard what the old man said, she mocked him bluntly: "Fourth uncle, you should be talking about No. 4 Square City that you are responsible for, right?"
"Mo Yunxuan, which I am in charge of, is profitable every quarter."
Ye Huayi crossed her chest with cold eyebrows and sat down with her legs crossed, not afraid of the other party's majesty.
Then he warned calmly: "Besides, I am running this building. When will it be your turn to point fingers?"
'The royal sister is mighty~'
Qi Yan stood outside the door, feeling pleased with Ye Huayi's calmness.
The old man saw that he could not defeat the niece in front of him based on his seniority, so he said dumbly for a moment: "Okay... since you said so, then the fourth uncle has nothing to say."
"But...I think eldest brother would also like to hear your attitude today."
"Are you threatening me?" Ye Huayi's eyes flashed, and the aura of a queen suddenly appeared on her face.
"Not a threat."
The old man smiled lightly and said slyly: "My fourth uncle is also thinking about the interests of the family..."
After that, he turned around and planned to leave.
But he never thought that he would see Qi Yan after leaving the door.
After seeing that he was a waste of cultivation at the third level of Qi training, he let out an angry "hum" and left.
Ye Huayi knew that Qi Yan was standing at the door, so she suppressed her anger and ordered: "Come in if you have something to say, why bother standing at the door and sneaking around?"
After Qi Yan heard this, he immediately walked inside and closed the door at the same time.
"senior."
Qi Yan bowed his hands, fearing that the other party would vent his anger on him, so he took the initiative and said, "I brought you the content of the script you asked for."
"Um."
Ye Huayi responded calmly with a stern face.
Then he took the script from Qi Yan and seemed to have thought of something. He raised his eyes and warned coldly: "You should know how to do what I just said."
"Senior, don't worry, junior will definitely keep his mouth shut."
"..."
Ye Huayi did not speak, but opened the manuscript and looked through it carefully.
For a moment, the elegant room was silent.
Qi Yan held his breath and concentrated, fearing that his slightest movement would disturb the other party.
After a while, Ye Huayi's original stern expression gradually faded away, replaced by a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Well written."
Ye Huayi praised indifferently: "I will send someone to copy it later. Once the copy is completed, it can be issued to the counter."
"Um?"
Qi Yan wondered in his heart: "Senior, is this too hasty?"
"You don't have to worry about that. You just need to give me scripts regularly."
"I will naturally give you whatever you deserve."
"Um...."
Qi Yan bowed respectfully and said, "If that's the case, I'd like to thank you senior first~"
"No, you and I are in a cooperative relationship." Ye Huayi said calmly.
Qi Yan nodded, knowing that there was no need to stay any longer.
Then he turned around and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, after Ye Huayi was silent for a moment, she said, "Wait~"
Ye Huayi looked troubled. After hesitating for a moment, she still said, "I'm in a bad mood. Please stay and play chess with me."
"Playing chess?"
Qi Yan looked stunned. How could the other party think of playing chess with him?
But thinking that his sister was frustrated at this time and needed comfort, Qi Yan had no choice but to endure the beauty of adulthood.
After sitting down,
Ye Huayi rested her head on the chess table with one hand. Without saying a word, she took out a set of chess boards from her storage bag with a wave of her hand.
Qi Yan lowered his head and looked at the white moonlight in his heart with his peripheral vision.
It can be seen that he was in trouble for a moment because he looked like a chess player.
"Senior~"
Qi Yan was a little embarrassed and said: "I am stupid and I don't know how to play chess."
"..."
When Ye Huayi heard this, she raised her eyes with a cold look and let out a breath of anger.
"Senior, please forgive me~"
Qi Yan hurriedly explained and said wisely: "Although this junior does not know this kind of chess, I know that there is another similar chess."
After that, Qi Yan bravely told the rules of backgammon.
"Backgammon?"
Ye Huayi said casually, instinctively becoming curious about new things.
So, he patiently had sex with the other party.
Qi Yan was also very frightened, fearing that if he was not careful, he would make the other party unhappy.
He knew that as the shopkeeper of Mo Yunxuan, the other party had a competitive spirit, but deep down, she was also a very pitiful woman who needed comfort when she was frustrated.
So after three or four games, apart from winning the first game by chance, the next few games were carefully avoided.
"interesting..."
The joy of winning streak gradually melted away Ye Huayi's depressed mood. After winning the fifth set in a row, she also thought of something.
Then he threw down the chess piece in his hand and said slightly angrily: "You don't have to let me do it intentionally. You will only make me think that you are opportunistic."
Ye Huayi looked at Qi Yan with contempt, with a complicated expression.
But thinking that the other party was also trying to please him, he sighed again and said helplessly: "Forget it, that's all for today."
"You go back~"
"..."
