Chapter 237: Being Teased

Tang Jinghong said, “I understand what the Seventh Prince is thinking. Let us consider it. When we’re done, well come back and talk in detail.”

He would first get someone to investigate Li Yuanshao. After confirming that this person was trustworthy, it would not be too late to help him.

Li Yuanshao was overjoyed and agreed without hesitation. “Okay.”

After Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong left, Yang Jingwen walked out of the room. She looked at Li Yuanshao affectionately and bowed. “Greetings, Seventh Prince.”

Yang Jingwen had the typical appearance of a northern girl. Her facial features were elegant and beautiful. She had a high ponytail and was wearing a riding outfit. She looked very heroic.

“No need for formalities.” Li Yuanshao felt that Yang Jingwen looked familiar, but he could not quite remember. “Miss Tong, what’s the matter?”

Yang Jingwen saw that Li Yuanshao didn’t seem to remember her and said in a somewhat disappointed tone, “Seventh Prince, do you still remember the girl you saved a year ago?”

A year ago, a girl who was being chased and covered in blood barged into Li Yuanshao’s bathroom. Li Yuanshao, who was bathing, was shocked. He saved her and treated her injuries. In the end, she disappeared the next day.

“Are you the seriously injured girl who left without saying goodbye?”

Yang Jingwen nodded. “Now that I’ve regained my freedom, 1 want to follow the Seventh Prince and repay you for saving my life.”

Li Yuanshao needed help, but the other party was a girl, so he hesitated. “Miss Tong, does your brother know about this?”

“He doesn’t, but 1 think he will be very supportive.” Yang Jingwen would not listen to Tong Yujie at all. In her heart, she only regarded Tong Yujie as her benefactor, not her brother.

Li Yuanshao hesitated for a moment before asking, “1 want to know why you want to follow me.”

Yang Jingwen recalled what she said to Chu Qingzhi yesterday. After a while, she looked up at Li Yuanshao and said, “Because I like you.”

Li Yuanshao was stunned and his mind went blank for a few seconds.

He was like air in the northern border. No one took him seriously. They even despised him and looked down on him. No one had ever liked him.

Suddenly, one day, a beautiful girl stood in front of him and said, “1 like you.” in a tone filled with certainty, joy, and anticipation. He felt like suddenly, his world that was originally shrouded in darkness suddenly lit up. There was an indescribable joy.

“Miss, don’t joke around.”

Yang Jingwen was not much shorter than Li Yuanshao. She quickly walked up to Li Yuanshao and forced him into a corner under his surprised gaze.

She looked straight into Li Yuanshao’s eyes and said word byword, “Seventh Prince, I’m not joking at all. I’m very serious.”

Li Yuanshao was so shocked by Yang Jingwen’s actions that his body stiffened. He stammered, “Miss, this is not appropriate.”

“I will only do this to you.” Yang Jingwen leaned closer to Li Yuanshao and whispered ambiguously, “Seventh Prince, do you want to keep me by your side?”

Such a unique and domineering personality made Li Yuanshao a little overwhelmed. “Miss, can you stay away from me first?”

Yang Jingwen glanced at Li Yuanshao’s slightly red ears and said with a smile, “Seventh Prince, tell me your answer first. Then, I’ll consider if I should stay away.”

If he doesn’t agree, is she planning to make him agree by force?

Li Yuanshao felt embarrassed for having this thought, and his handsome face was dyed with a thin layer of red.

“Miss, people will misunderstand if they see us so close.”

Yang Jingwen looked at the empty courtyard. “Seventh Prince, there’s no one else here. No one will misunderstand.”

Cong Chusheng, who was about to open the door and go out to save his master, sat back on the chair silently. They were flirting, so why did he have to join in the fun?

Besides, it was not easy for a girl to fall in love with the Seventh Prince. How could he mess it up?!

Li Yuanshao had never interacted with a girl before. At this moment, he really did not know what to do. “If you want to stay, stay.”

Yang Jingwen smiled and looked at Li Yuanshao’s red lips.

Li Yuanshao’s eyes widened, and he was stunned. His blood surged, and he quickly blushed. “You, you…” He looked like an innocent girl who had been teased.

Yang Jingwen wiped his red lips with her thumb. Her actions were seductive and flirtatious. “Seventh Prince, you taste good.” She looked like a female hooligan.

She had been trained as an assassin since she was young. Now that she was free, she no longer wanted to be restrained. She could do whatever she wanted.

She stepped back slightly. “Seventh Prince, I’ll remember what you said.”

Li Yuanshao quickly tidied his clothes to hide his embarrassment. Then, he said, “I still have something to do. 1’11 leave first.” With that, he fled.

Yang Jingwen smiled gently. She liked him more and more.

The sound of the door opening and closing sounded almost at the same time. Cong Chusheng looked up at the flustered and red-faced person who had the words “I was teased.” written all across his face.

Li Yuanshao saw Cong Chusheng looking at him in a daze and felt even more embarrassed. He wished he could find a hole to hide in.

Were all girls so bold these days?

Cong Chusheng felt that he should say something to ease the awkward atmosphere. “Master, it’s time for you to get married!”

Li Yuanshao was speechless.

Seeing that Cong Chusheng was about to speak again, Li Yuanshao quickly raised his hand to interrupt him. “Shut up, stop talking. Pack up. It’s time to go back.”

Cong Chusheng said obediently, “Yes, Master.”

In the forest.

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong went to the city to have a good meal before coming to the cave where Li Yuan’an was hidden.

When they arrived at the cave, Chu Qingzhi waved her hand and a figure immediately appeared in the corner of the cave.

Tang Jinghong walked over, picked up the unconscious Li Yuan’an, and tied him to the withered tree again.

In a while, the Lord of the Northern Border would send someone to deliver the ransom.

As expected, at noon, Shi Zonghao brought his men over. The two people behind him carried a large box.

Shi Zonghao looked up at Li Yuan’an, who was tied to a tree. “Heroes, it’s not easy to carry two million taels of silver, so we brought banknotes instead. Please accept it..”
