Yuan Jiahe smiled, looked at Mu Yun'an and said, "What's your expression? Are you afraid that I'll get stuck in the mud? I used to want your brother Yi to be my consort, but I've given up now.
You also know that I like good-looking people. Maybe I will be attracted by a man who is more good-looking than Xuan Du? Do you think so?"
Mu Yun'an saw that she looked relaxed and at ease, as if she didn't have such a deep obsession with Xuan Du. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as you know what's going on, okay, I'll go back first."
She patted Yuan Jiahe on the shoulder, turned and walked out of the room.
As soon as she left, Yuan Jiahe lay down on the table listlessly as if he had exhausted all his strength. In fact, she was telling Mu Yunan what she just said.
She knew very well that Xuan Du and Xiao Chengyi were different. When she saw Xiao Chengyi at the General's Mansion, she was amazed by his appearance and had the idea of making him his consort.
But this thought was quickly extinguished by Mu Yun'an, and she only fell in love with Xiao Chengyi's face and didn't know him well, so she had no regrets even if he couldn't be her consort.
But she knew that Xuandu was different.
Just the thought that she and he were about to part ways made her feel very uncomfortable. She couldn't bear to let him go and didn't want to leave him, but she knew clearly that she couldn't keep him.
...
In the pavilion.
Xiao Chengyi was playing chess with Xuan Du. Although Xuan Du said he didn't want to see Xiao Chengyi, Xiao Chengyi was thick-skinned. When Yan Yan left him to find Yuan Jiahe, he would drag Xuan Du over to play chess with him.
Xuan Du's chess skills are very superb, and the two of them can sometimes play a game of chess for a long time. But this game has been played for half an hour, and the winner has not yet been determined.
Xiao Chengyi was still thinking seriously about the next move, while Xuan Du was a little absent-minded.
"Can you focus more?"
Xiao Chengyi couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when he saw that Xuan Du was absentminded.
Xuan Du came back to his senses, looked at Xiao Chengyi's fallen chess piece and said, "I played chess with you countless times in my previous life. I know your chess style very well, so how can I concentrate?"
Does this mean you can beat him with your eyes closed?
The corners of Xiao Chengyi's lips twitched, and he simply stopped playing. He rolled his sleeves and looked at him and said: "You said you know my chess style well, but you still lost to me several times?
You are obviously thinking about your Aluan and want to go back to see what gifts she has prepared for you, am I right?"
Mu Yun'an had come back a long time ago, but he didn't come to disturb them. Ever since Mu Yun'an left, Xuan Du began to lose focus, and his heart had already flown away.
Xuan Du was not annoyed when he saw through it, but said: "Since you know this, you still want me to play chess with you? If you don't go to accompany the county lord in this wonderful time, what's the point of dragging me to accompany you?"
Xiao Chengyi laughed angrily at him, and simply waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, you have a point, there is no need to play this game, you can go."
Xuan Du stood up, glanced at the chessboard in front of him, then pinched a black chess piece and dropped it on the chessboard and said, "You lose!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Xiao Chengyi: "..."
This stinky monk really knew his chess style very well. He had already laid the trap, but to his surprise, Xuan Du didn't fall for it.
Maybe he had used this trick in his previous life. Alas, it's really not a good feeling to be controlled by others.
That's all Xuan Du, at least he has no hostility towards him, but Shen Wanyue... is not a good person. If this hidden danger is not eliminated, he and Yan Yan will not be able to be together openly.
