Chapter 131 Either she or I, either I or she!
"Let's not disturb them."
Chu Changxun stared at the two of them without moving his eyes away, a bitter smile appearing on his overly pale face.
The originally elegant robe became a little disheveled due to the shoving of the crowd.
Looking at that pink and white little face that was too eye-catching even in the night, my heart was filled with a bittersweet feeling of not being able to get it.
If he had met her earlier, he might be the one standing beside her now...
The Lin siblings did not notice the broken expression on the man's face. They had different thoughts in their minds, but they all felt that Chu Changxun was right.
The young couple was being affectionate, but they were getting close to them. It was really a lack of consideration for the occasion. By then, the Third Prince would probably want to kill them.
The three of them came silently and retreated silently.
Jiang Li didn't notice them, and naturally, she didn't notice the other pair of dark phoenix eyes staring at her in the crowd...
Li Junlin clenched his fists tightly at his sides. The feeling of powerlessness at having his treasure stolen surged into his heart again. His chest heaved with uncontrollable anger, and he just wanted to go up and snatch the delicate girl away...
Sooner or later, she would be his. She said she would marry him...
……
An hour later, the bonfire went out and the Fishing Lantern Festival was completely over.
The group gathered together again and headed back to the B&B.
Li Junlin followed behind the few people slowly, the bright moonlight shining on him, and he felt inexplicably lonely.
Lin Qingtang couldn't help but look back at him. Although she was a little afraid of him, at this moment, she actually felt a little sympathy.
She reached out and poked Lin Ci, lowering her voice.
"Where's Ji Qingwan? Why isn't she with the prince?"
In the girl's impression, among the people here, only Lin Ci and Ji Qingwan are the best friends, so when Ji Qingwan was not here, Lin Qingtang subconsciously went to ask Lin Ci.
But who would have thought that the boy would behave out of character today. When he heard Ji Qingwan's name, his expression immediately became stiff.
Having lived with him for so many years, Lin Qingtang knew what he was going to do as soon as Lin Ci stuck out his butt.
At this moment, he looked not only escaping but also a little guilty.
What was he feeling guilty about? Could it be that he was really having an affair with Ji Qingwan behind his back?!
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Qingtang immediately took a deep breath and wished he could pull his ears off.
But with so many people here at this moment, she didn't want to make too much noise.
The girl leaned close to Lin Ci's ear fiercely, with little flames flickering in her dark eyes.
"Tell me! What happened between you and Ji Qingwan? If you really get together with her, then prepare to marry into the Ji family. I will let my parents have another child. In this family, she can't have me! Either me or her!"
Even though Lin Qingtang tried hard to suppress her voice, there were no people on the street at that moment, and her terrifying speech was still heard by Jiang Li and the others.
Lin Ci's ears turned red instantly. Looking at the surprised looks from the people around him, he wished he could bury his head in the ground.
"Oh my! What are you talking about!"
The boy reacted violently. Seeing him deny it without hesitation, Lin Qingtang breathed a sigh of relief, but his tone still didn't improve much.
"It's better, I don't think you dare."
Jiang Li knew that Lin Ci had suffered a great shock today, and she felt a little sympathy for him for a moment. She couldn't bear to see him being scolded by Lin Qingtang again.
"Okay Tangtang, Miss Ji is not feeling well so she's going back to the B&B first. You'll see her when you get back later."
After Jiang Li finished speaking, Lin Qingtang subconsciously wanted to refute. She said this as if she really wanted to see Ji Qingwan.
Jiang Li chuckled helplessly. She did not hide her dislike for Ji Qingwan at all.
After an episode, the few of them continued walking towards the B&B.
However, Lin Ci, who had finally calmed down, couldn't help but look back at Li Junlin.
I heard from his father that Sister Qingwan and the eldest prince’s engagement is just waiting for an imperial edict, and it’s a done deal.
But after what happened tonight, I wonder how the prince will react...
……
The ebony door opened,
The yard was dark, with only a few wall lamps lit under the attic.
Lin Qingtang almost stumbled, but fortunately Chu Changxun was quick to hold her steady.
"Be careful."
"Thank you... Where are Mu Nan and the others? Why is there no one in the B&B?"
The girl asked subconsciously. Jiang Li curled her lips quietly in the darkness, and looked towards the dark room with her almond-shaped eyes.
"Today is the Fishing Lantern Festival, so the waiter has been given a day off. As for Mu Nan, he returned to the capital early to be with his sister."
"Oh...is there a light in the yard? It's so dark."
As soon as Lin Qingtang finished speaking, Li Jinyuan lit a candle, and the stone road under his feet instantly became bright.
"Huh...it's getting late, so let's go to bed early!"
"Lin Ci! Bring my spoils to my room!"
After seeing the road clearly, Lin Qingtang walked as if the wind was blowing under his feet, and couldn't wait to go back to the house to count the things he bought tonight.
The boy moved his lips but his feet did not move.
Lin Qingtang's room is next to that room. If she wants to go up, she must pass through...
A hint of hesitation flashed across her clear eyes, but in the blink of an eye, the girl had already climbed the stairs.
"Lin Ci? Why are you..."
"Hmm~ Your Majesty..."
A sudden charming female voice interrupted Lin Qingtang's words. The girl stood in the middle of the steps, her expression suddenly becoming horrified.
What was that noise just now!?
Not only Lin Qingtang heard it, everyone in the yard changed their expressions.
Only Jiang Li and Li Jinyuan, the two insiders and the "culprits", remained calm.
However, Jiang Li still raised an eyebrow in surprise. This guard and Ji Qingwan's physical strength is quite good. It has been so long and it's not over yet...
"Just now...what was that noise?"
Lin Qingtang had some guesses in her mind, but the matter was of great importance, so she didn't dare to speak rashly.
Jiang Li also showed her superb acting skills at this time. Her eyebrows were furrowed and her red lips pursed with worry.
"I heard it too. It seemed to be Miss Ji's voice."
Everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to Li Junlin. The man seemed a little angry, but also seemed... not to care that much.
He walked up the stairs with big strides, passed Lin Qingtang and went straight towards the door.
Are you going to catch the adulterer on the spot?!
Lin Qingtang shuddered. According to her personality, she would never miss such a good show, let alone the show of her mortal enemy, Ji Qingwan.
The girl followed without hesitation, suppressing the joy on her lips, and followed Li Junlin not far away.
Jiang Li also pulled Li Jinyuan upstairs. She didn't expect Li Junlin to be so decisive. Didn't he want to give Ji Qingwan any face at all?
