Qi Shaorong said goodbye to Zhuang Hao and Zhuang Qian. Everyone returned to their own courtyards.
In the night, a black shadow sneaked into Qi Shaorong's courtyard.
"You came?" Qi Shaorong lightly asked.
"Does Young Master want to know why I came?" asked Yi Fan.
Qi Shaorong shook the wine cup in his hand, and said, "Counting the time, it was about time you came. Come sit."
Yi Fan sat down opposite of Qi Shaorong.
"I heard that you and Mu Xuelan are about to divorce," Qi Shaorong looked over at Yi Fan.
Yi Fan frowned, and protested, "That woman is extremely annoying. That year, she married me, but that was just because she was acting in a fit of anger from the Second Prince's marriage, and hoped that Second Prince would come forward and stop it. But in the end, the Second Prince didn't show up from start to finish, and with no other choice, she was forced to marry me."
"The Second Prince is so fickle with love," Qi Shaorong shook his head as he sighed. "However, I don't understand. Since you didn't like that woman, why did you go and married her?"
"The Second Prince allowed me to marry," answered Yi Fan.
Qi Shaorong couldn't help but widen his eyes, "The Second Prince?"
"Yes, Second Prince wanted me to marry her. Moreover, I wasn't allowed to touch her," said Yi Fan.
Qi Shaorong, "…Second Prince is a complete sc.u.m."
Yi Fan shrugged, and said, "Maybe. I reckon that this time, she should be divorcing me soon."
Qi Shaorong, "……"
"That's right, I heard that Zhuang Hao broke off the engagement. Young Master, are you okay?" asked Yi Fan.
"Okay? Why wouldn't I be okay? Isn't it just a little white face who cancelled it," Qi Shaorong said indifferently.
Yi Fan looked at Qi Shaorong, and said, "Young Master, Zhuang Hao's qualifications are actually quite good. He's handsome, and his strength can also throw the other Imperial Seven Talents off by quite a bit."
Qi Shaorong smiled, and said, "Zhuang Hao's qualifications are quite good, if it wasn't, your cheap sister wouldn't go chasing after him."
"Yi Chuxue, this little s.l.u.t has been chasing Zhuang Hao for many years now. In order to get Zhuang Hao, she doesn't even want her face anymore. However, I say, even if Zhuang Hao doesn't take a wife in this lifetime, he still wouldn't marry her," Yi Fan snickered coldly.
Qi Shaorong, "……"
"How are you doing in the Yi family?" asked Qi Shaorong.
"I moved out. Young Master, why do you think I married Mu Xuelan? It was because if I married that woman, I could move out of Yi Manor," said Yi Fan. Yi Fan was the behind-the-scenes big boss of Allure Cosmetics, if he really didn't want to marry Mu Xuelan that year, he definnitely could've pulled some strings.
Qi Shaorong, "……"
………
"Young Master Zhuang Hao, it's already so late, how come you're here," Qi Heng raised his voice, letting it reach Qi Shaorong and Yi Fan's ears.
"Young Master, it's about time I should go," said Yi Fan.
Qi Shaorong nodded, and said, "Take care on the road."
Zhuang Hao walked in and swept a glance at the table inside the pavilion, and asked, "You had a guest?"
"Nope."
"But there are two cups of wine."
Qi Shaorong grinned, and said, "Oh, I like pouring two cups of wine when I drink by myself."
"Your interests are really peculiar," said Zhuang Hao.
"It's still okay," replied Qi Shaorong.
"Ghost Doctor qianbei, I don't know why but when I look at you, I feel that there is a lot of fate between us. I don't know if qianbei also feels this way," said Zhuang Hao.
Qi Shaorong beamed, and said, "Nope. Not at all. Moreover, Young Master Zhuang's words are very strange ah! As it is, you have never really seen me, yet you think there is fate between us?"
Zhuang Hao tilted his head, and said, "Ghost Doctor qianbei, are you willing to let me see your true appearance?"
"Not willing," Qi Shaorong replied instantly.
Although Qi Shaorong had an att.i.tude of rejecting people from thousands of miles away, Zhuang Hao didn't seem to be affected in the slightest.
"Ghost Doctor qianbei should still be very young, maybe only a few years older than me," said Zhuang Hao.
Qi Shaorong tilted his head. Actually, Zhuang Hao and Qi Shaorong were born on the same year, same month, same day. Zhuang Hao was only earlier than Qi Shaorong by an hour, looking at it like this, the two were actually quite fated.
"Oh, no. I'm already far older than that," said Qi Shaorong.
"Really? You hands are very soft," Zhuang Hao reached over to hold Qi Shaorong's hand.
Qi Shaorong quickly retracted his hand. As he drew back his hand, he realized he was overreacting, "I do plastic surgery, if my hands are the same as old tree bark, I estimate there would be no one looking for me. Do I need to give you an example?"
Zhuang Hao gently smiled, "Really?"
"I don't know why, but I always felt that Ghost Doctor qianbei , you are a bit hostile to me," said Zhuang Hao.
Qi Shaorong tilted his head, and pinched Zhuang Hao's chin between his fingers, then said, "Young Master Zhuang, you're worrying too much. You should know I like beauties the most. And you look extremely handsome, exceedingly stunning."
"Thank you for the compliment."
"You're welcome."
“You want to open up the corner of your eyes? Taking account of our acquaintance, I'll give you a 9.9 percent discount," said Qi Shaorong.
"No need, thank you very much. I am very satisfied with my own appearance," said Zhuang Hao.
Qi Shaorong released his hand, completely losing interest, "How boring."
Zhuang Hao: "Ghost Doctor daren, you think I will look more handsome if I open the corners of my eyes?"
"Oh, I can't say," replied Qi Shaorong.
Zhuang Hao frowned, and said, "Then why do you still want me to open them?"
Qi Shaorong shrugged, and casually said, "If you want to open them then I can earn more money ah!"
Zhuang Hao, "……"
