Chapter 414: 414 was foolishly tricked

“Promise me, you’ll never leave me.” Where Ye Jiu couldn’t see, Sikong Mo’s lips curled into a triumphant smile.

“Okay.” Ye Jiu foolishly hadn’t realized yet that he had been tricked.

After Sikong Mo dropped her off at the inn, Ye Jiu returned to her room, immediately shut the door, and threw herself on the bed with a wail.

How could she…

…have simply agreed to Sikong Mo like that?

And that beast, how could he flirt so shamelessly when she was still so young!

Thud, thud, thud

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, followed by Ye Wenzheng’s concerned voice, “Little aunt, are you alright?”

Ye Jiu quickly lowered her hands from her face and adjusted her expression, though her voice was still a bit panicked, “I’m fine.”

Rising quickly, Ye Jiu hurried to open the door, only to see Ye Wenzheng standing there with a street urchin.

“We’ll talk later; take him to take a bath and change his clothes first,” Ye Jiu instructed.

“Okay.” Ye Wenzheng led the street urchin away.

Having returned to her room, Ye Jiu’s expression had normalized.

But… her heart was in chaos!

Sikong Mo’s words kept echoing in her mind, “Don’t leave me…”

It didn’t take long for Ye Wenzheng to get the street urchin cleaned up and come back.

After sending the street urchin back to Ye Gaosheng, he went out again, and only then did he come to find Ye Jiu.

“Little aunt, I went to the Dentist Office and inquired; there are indeed several properties, but as for the price…” Ye Wenzheng found it unbelievable himself–the capital city, indeed, was a place where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold; a property with two courtyards was priced at tens of thousands of taels of silver.

In their Shuangxi Town, tens of thousands of silver could buy a whole street.

Ye Jiu had anticipated this, however.

This is the capital city, under the Emperor’s watch–an expensive price was only to be expected!

However, Ye Jiu was exhausted today and really didn’t want to go out again, so inspecting the properties would have to wait for another time.

That evening, Ye Jiu watched as Ye Gaosheng took his medicine, and she arranged with Ye Wenzheng to let him temporarily have the street urchin sleep with him.

Ye Gaosheng had just had his leg treated, and Ye Jiu was worried the child might be restless and kick him during the night.

After making the arrangements, she returned to her room and quickly fell into a groggy sleep.

In her sleep, Ye Jiu felt as if she was being watched.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Sikong Mo sitting by her bed, staring intently at her, prompting her to blurt out, “What are you looking at?”

You could scare someone to death, you know.

“Looking at you because you’re beautiful,” Sikong Mo said in a low, enticing voice, in contrast to Ye Jiu’s panic.

Ye Jiu: “…”

How could someone who seems so cold be so irresistible when he flirts?

Indeed, there’s a saying that fits perfectly.

Those who frequently speak sweet nothings tend to do it clumsily, but those who are serious can move hearts profoundly when they speak romantically.

Ye Jiu felt that she couldn’t keep thinking about it, otherwise, she really, truly would fall deep.

“What brings you here in the middle of the night, Mr. Sikong, if you’re not sleeping?” Ye Jiu quickly sat up, her gaze evasive, not daring to look directly at Sikong Mo’s face.

Instead of answering immediately, Sikong Mo raised the land deed in his hand, “I hear you want to buy a property?”

Ye Jiu firmly refused, “Mr. Sikong, please take the land deed back. I can’t accept it.”

Sikong Mo laughed, “I wasn’t planning to give it for free. You have to pay for it.”

Ye Jiu: “…”

What happened to the domineering Prince lavishing a mansion in his courtship?

Ah spit, what on earth is she thinking about, really got her brain fogged by those silly novels.

All Luo Ranran’s fault, for bringing her those novels for no reason.

However, this conversation really left her feeling awkward!
