Chapter 389: Chapter 389 This man is really a dog!

Hearing this, Zhao Xiyan cracked a slight smile and said to Qi Yue, “Since he insists on sending gifts so frequently, it wouldn’t be polite for me to refuse.”

“…”

Speak of the devil!

Qi Yue’s lips twitched slightly.

What on earth could Qin Zhongyu be gifting?

Having seen all sorts of fun things in her space, was there anything left in this world that could pique Zhao Xiyan’s interest?

“Marquis, my lord, the gift list is here, and the present is just outside. How shall we handle it?”

As Hei Lie spoke, he bowed his head and stepped forward, placing a card on the small table in front of them.

A fragrance of ink wafted up, and Qi Yue recognized it immediately.

This was Qingyu Ink, beloved by noblewomen from various countries, fresh and ethereal—a delightful scent, albeit an expensive one for sure.

A feeling of astonishment surged within her.

Did Qin Zhongyu actually enjoy using things meant for women?

It certainly didn’t seem so from his appearance which seemed quite masculine.

Just as she was about to reach for it, Zhao Xiyan had already flicked a finger lightly, sending the card floating away, landing back in Hei Lie’s hand.

The man glanced at her leisurely and uttered a single word, “Dirty…”

Qi Yue rubbed her hands together, itching to pinch and play with his exquisitely beautiful face.

“Hei Lie, you read.”

Holding the card, Hei Lie read it out with clear enunciation.

“….. With best wishes for the newlyweds’ happiness and harmony, a mysterious grand gift is presented…”

Qi Yue felt puzzled.

“Does this card mean that the Marquis must unwrap the grand mystery gift personally?”

“Yes, my lord,” Hei Lie repeated the most important content on the card.

Qi Yue found the situation odd.

It didn’t seem like something Qin Zhongyu would do.

Was this a ploy because Zhao Xiyan refused to see him?

No sooner had this thought crossed her mind than she heard Zhao Xiyan’s voice as crisp as broken jade, “Yueyue, do you think I should accept this grand gift?”

Qi Yue rolled her eyes.

“How would I know, when the person isn’t sending it to me?”

Zhao Xiyan smiled lightly.

“Is Yueyue unhappy? Why don’t we find out what Qin Zhongyu is up to? You might be pleased.”

“I won’t go. What if he presents you with a great beauty? That would be such a killjoy for me.”

“In that case, Yueyue should go even more so.”

“…”

Before Qi Yue could voice her resistance, she saw Zhao Xiyan approach as if to embrace her and quickly stood up.

“Alright, alright, I’ll go with you. Happy now?”

Zhao Xiyan still reached out to take her hand, “That’s more like it.”

Qi Yue glanced at Hei Lie, who had been looking down all along, and shook her arm, only to be gripped even tighter by the man.

Feeling resigned, she let him lead the way.

Once they reached the front hall, they indeed saw a huge box placed on the ground, adorned with red silk flowers on top, and several guards in black standing by its side!

Huh, wasn’t it said Qin Zhongyu sent a gift? Where was he?!

Qi Yue’s intuition told her something was off.

She scratched the palm of Zhao Xiyan’s hand to signal him to be wary of the box.

However, Zhao Xiyan smiled reassuringly at her and pulled her to sit in the seats of honor.

“The gift has arrived, but where is King Yan? Or is this the customary etiquette of the Western Chu Kingdom?”

The four black-clad guards exchanged glances before one stepped forward and pointed to the large box, “Marquis, our Prince’s gift is here. Please, you must unwrap it yourself. Afterwards, our Prince will explain.”

Well now, there’s an explanation.

Such audacity!

Qi Yue scoffed.

“I really wasn’t aware that whatever treasures this box may contain could possibly merit my Marquis’s personal attention?!”

Without waiting for her command, Hei Lie approached with the intent to uncover the red silk, only for the four black-clad guards to immediately block the box, their expressions stern as if ready for a confrontation.

Hmm.

Now this is getting interesting.

It seems that this gift isn’t anything dangerous; otherwise, these people wouldn’t be blocking the way so openly and confidently.

Qi Yue slightly raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhao Xiyan.

“Husband, did you see? It seems that only with your presence can we know what this gift is.”

Zhao Xiyan leisurely sipped his tea without even lifting an eyelid.

“Not interested.”

Qi Yue chuckled, leaned in, and whispered, “If you’re not interested, why did you have someone bring it in? Could it be that you know what’s inside?”

Zhao Xiyan’s lips curved slightly, the tantalizing phoenix eyes landing on her lips, his voice flowing like a trickling spring.

“…If Yueyue agrees to one thing for me, I’ll tell you what’s inside?”

The man’s playfully resistant attitude instantly peaked Qi Yue’s curiosity.

“You really know? How did you know?”

Zhao Xiyan smiled enigmatically.

“Will Madam agree or not!”

Qi Yue narrowed her eyes.

What this scoundrel wanted was nothing more than a bit of bedroom fun, and whether she agreed or not, it always ended with him benefiting the most.

Now, to use it as a bargaining chip, it didn’t seem like a loss.

“You tell me, what do you want me to agree to?”

“Tonight, we try a new position.”

Zhao Xiyan proposed earnestly into her ear. The warm breath tinged with a fresh aroma blew straight into her nostrils, making Qi Yue feel an immediate rush of heat to her head.

“…You lecher.”

If it weren’t for the presence of others, Qi Yue would have really liked to grab his ear and ask—just when did he start becoming so bad?

How could he say such a thing in front of so many people?

“Mmm, a lecher for you alone… So, do you still want to know or not?”

Her cheeks, already burning like fire, flared up once again.

Qi Yue glared at him fiercely.

“I don’t want to know anymore…”

Zhao Xiyan smiled with his eyes, “Are you sure you don’t want to know, Yueyue? That would be quite unexpected.”

“Don’t want to…” Qi Yue huffily rolled her eyes.

If someone sends a gift and you don’t want it, just refuse it, right? To let them in and then act indifferent, isn’t that just rude?

Could it be because they already knew what the gift was?

This mysterious present really is quite mysterious!

Qi Yue suppressed her curiosity, deliberately sitting up straight, and she really wanted to see what kind of medicine Zhao Xiyan was selling in his gourd?

Just then, Zhao Chong walked quickly into the hall.

He first glanced at the big red silk-wrapped box on the floor before coming to Zhao Xiyan’s side and murmuring in his ear.

“Marquis, Qin Zhongyu has arrived.”

Zhao Xiyan gestured to let him in, continuing to leisurely sip his tea.

“Yueyue, are you sure you don’t want to know? Once he comes in, the gift will be gone.”

This made Qi Yue even more curious.

Could it be that Qin Zhongyu was actually chasing after the gift?

Qi Yue thought for a while, still unable to figure out what could be in the box?

“I want to know, but your condition is too harsh.”

Zhao Xiyan smiled slightly, lowering his voice, implying a deeper meaning, “It’s my mistake to use this as a condition… Remember when we tried a new position before, Yueyue was very cooperative too…”

“Cough…” Qi Yue’s grip on her teacup loosened, nearly dropping it.

This scoundrel, he really was incorrigible!

How had she not realized it before!

“Yueyue, be careful not to burn your hand.”

The man’s suggestive words contrasted with his outwardly righteous and dignified appearance.

So-called beasts in human clothing were just like this.

Qi Yue gritted her teeth, ready to speak when Qin Zhongyu’s voice came from outside the hall.

“Marquis Zhao, you mustn’t open this gift at all costs!”
