Chapter 430: So Jealous I Could Die 5

Qi Qingyao said, “Oh.”

Jiang Yeqian was very furious. “What do you mean, ‘oh’?! You, a maiden, went so far as to close the door in broad daylight and then sit on a man’s lap!! What were you thinking?! If I hadn’t made it here in time, were you two going to immediately dive into indulging in lascivious acts in broad daylight?!’

“…” ‘Indulging in lascivious acts in broad daylight? What was he saying?’

Qi Qingyao had been unreasonably accused. She thought to herself, ‘Even if I had been indulging in lascivious acts in broad daylight, what does that have to do with you?’ On the other hand, she figured that at any rate, this person was still the Head Grand Secretariat, and she would rather not offend him.

In Jiang Yeqian’s eyes, her muffled silence was a confession that she had been ready to do as much. He suddenly spluttered, “Say something!! Don’t have the guts to do it, but not have the guts to admit it!” He hoped she would quickly deny it. It would be better if she could explain that she had just accidentally sat on Lu Yan’s lap just now!

Qi Qingyao shrugged with her hands and poured herself another cup of tea. “What should I say?”

“Just tell me what were the two of you doing just now,” Jiang Yeqian said in exasperation.

Qi Qingyao looked placidly at Jiang Yeqian, who seemed close to having a breakdown. “I was sitting on his lap. Didn’t you see us?”

Jiang Yeqian felt his breathing almost stop. “You’re even shamelessly admitting to it!!”

“What does me being shameless or not have anything to do with you? Head Grant Secretariat, you say very strange things.” She was the one who felt aggrieved. She had sat on Lu Yan’s lap, and the man had inexplicably not reacted at all. This made Qi Qingyao quite frustrated. To be honest, she felt like she looked pretty good. She should be at least be a little attractive to any man, yet things had turned out this way.

When she thought about it carefully, she realized that Lu Yan had not reacted to her last night. She had then sat on his lap today, and he had been still as motionless as a mountain.

His condition should have been cured.

Looking at this, however, it seemed like it had not been cured at all.

He clearly thought of her as stone, a piece of wood, or a piece of porcelain?

Could it be that a single mother who had given birth to three children was already unattractive?

Qi Qingyao thought sadly, ‘I’m afraid it’ll be hopeless to look for a life partner.’

She could only hope that her three children would be filial to her after they grow up…

Jiang Yeqian looked at Qi Qingyao, who had tacitly admitted she was shameless. He was so angry his heart hurt, and he breathed in big gasps of air. After his emotions smoothed out, he was about to reprimand her again when Lu Yan walked out from behind the screen. His face was like how it usually was, and his expression was indifferent.

He asked, “Jiang Yeqian, why are you looking for me?”

Qi Qingyao looked up and swept a glance across him, then said leisurely, “Alright, since you didn’t come here to look for me, you don’t need to quarrel with me. I’ll take my leave.”

With that,

She quickly left Lu Yan’s yard.

Jiang Yeqian turned his head and watched Qi Qingyao leave, then reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

Lu Yan said with a casual smile, “Head Grand Secretariat, to what do I owe the pleasure?”

He sat in the place Qi Qingyao had sat just now.

Jiang Yeqian returned to his senses and looked at Lu Yan with a temperamental gaze. The bottom of his eyes were as sharp as a knife hidden in a dim flame. He asked in an interrogative tone, “Why was she sitting on your lap just now? Why did the two of you close the door in broad daylight?! If I hadn’t come over, what were the two of you planning to do later?!”

Lu Yan was a little startled. He said, “Is the Head Grand Secretariat here to ask about that?”

“No, but you have to answer those questions first.” He had long forgotten what he had wanted to say when he came over just now. Jiang Yeqian’s mind was entirely focused on this matter at the moment.

Lu Yan did not plan on explaining. He good-naturedly went with the flow and said, “Why do I have to tell you about what happens between Yaoyao and me? Could it be that you also like Yaoyao, so you’re jealous?”
