Qi Qingyao was scolded into speechlessness. Surprisingly, she did not know how to react.
Jiang Yeqian’s face, one that was so handsome it could make people feel asphyxiated, was suddenly very near Qi Qingyao. Jiang Yeqian gritted his teeth and said, his tone sinister and furious, “D*mn it, you woman! Your expression tells me that you still don’t think it’s important at all!”
As they were too near each other, Qi Qingyao found herself stupefied by his face.
She knew that he was decent-looking, but looking at him from a short distance, she discovered that he was very handsome, d*mn it.
He had dashing eyebrows and deep eyes, and his face was even handsome in an aggressive way.
“No, no, it’s important.” She could only surrender and push him further away from her.
Noticing that she looked discouraged, as if she had realized her wrongdoings, Jiang Yeqian finally relaxed, and he started to tell this oblivious woman, “Now, you are associated with the Heavenly Physician Su Hexiao and Master Li Qinglian by name.. Maybe you’ll think that it’s fine if you lose to Lu Yan and sleep with him, but if you wager yourself, you’ve already lost! You don’t only represent yourself, but you’re also a friend of Su Hexiao and Li Qinglian… It’s related to your dignity!”
Qi Qingyao nodded, understanding everything but not really.
She thought, ‘Maybe it was because I worked as a spy.’
Their rules were to prioritize solving the case before everything else. Everything is fine, as long as they did not cross certain boundaries. If they encountered difficult situations, of course they would make use of their most valuable token to obtain information from the other party and achieve the best results.
At that thought, something flashed in her mind. “Ah, I know. I’m now friends with famous people, so I’m hurting my dignity when I say things like that. Is that what you meant?”
“You only realize that now?” Jiang Yeqian did not dare to believe it. He put his palm on his forehead and sighed. “You look clever normally, so why are you so stupid when it comes to things like this?”
Qi Qingyao complained softly, “This is not being stupid. I just tend to maximize the profit using the smallest cost.”
“And you think that it’s fine if it’ll hurt you?” Jiang Yeqian’s gaze turned cold.
Qi Qingyao said, “Let me explain that. It won’t hurt me. It’s called fishing. To fish, I have to lay down some bait. I thought that this used-up body of mine doesn’t even deserve to be bait, but who knew, someone else wanted it! Don’t you think it’s funny?”
“...” ‘Funny, your *ss!’ Jiang Yeqian could not help swearing in his mind. His expression was still tight as he said nothing.
“But I know what you mean.” Faced with his murderous gaze, Qi Qingyao surrendered again. “That house costs three million taels at least. I’m now someone who has wealth. I have a lot of tokens. I won’t need to wager myself in the future.”
Jiang Yeqian, “...” That meant she would wager herself again when she ran out of tokens! This was the first time he had seen such a bold woman, who had no concern for her well-being at all.
She did not care, even if she had placed herself in a dangerous situation.
Seeing that the man’s fury resurfaced, Qi Qingyao quickly reassured, “I even won a house out of that, so stop being angry.”
“What would I be angry at? Moron.”
Jiang Yeqian said impatiently, his strong aura burning, and then he turned his face to the side, picked up his teacup, and downed its contents. The tea was too hot and he nearly scalded himself to death.
His expression faltered for a second, then he put down his teacup and pretended that nothing had happened.
Si Jin cradled his chin between his palms. He looked at Jiang Yeqian, who had lost his self-control today, and scratched his head. ‘Why was he so angry just because Elder Sister wagered herself during that bet today?’
‘It was a bit… strange!’
