She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 483 - 482: Provoke Me Again and You’ll Be Ruined

Li Chengxiang had been lingering inside for a long time, hoping that the gentleman would have left by the time she emerged.

It was one of the most embarrassingly mortifying moments of her life.

Every time she thought about what had just happened, she couldn’t help but beat her own belly.

"Useless thing." At home, she didn’t make much effort, but once she stepped out, she went overboard. It was too much.

With one hand pinching her nose, she gently pushed the door open to peek outside; unexpectedly, she saw the person turn around.

Li Chengxiang immediately withdrew her gaze.

Damn, why hadn’t this person left yet?

It seemed that he heard something, for Qin Huai shouted towards the direction of the door, "Miss, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess are about to arrive. Are you ready to go out and welcome the honored guests?."

Now she was in a dilemma, whether to go out or stay in.

Finally, Li Chengxiang gritted her teeth out of necessity.

What was there to fear?

She was already the foremost among those who had divorced their husbands; she feared nothing.

Bolstered by this thought, Li Chengxiang opened the door and walked out confidently.

She cleared her throat lightly, "Thank you for the reminder, young master."

"Let’s go," Qin Huai stepped aside to let her go first.

Li Chengxiang nodded her head, "Thank you, young master."

The two of them walked one after the other towards the front courtyard.

Li Chengxiang walked faster and faster, hoping to put more distance between herself and the man behind her.

Qin Huai, with a smile playing on his lips, watched her small movements and easily caught up with her with his long strides.

"Take it slower, there’s still time," he kindly reminded.

Li Chengxiang’s earlobes turned red, and she felt hurried.

What was with this man, haunting her relentlessly when she wasn’t even familiar with him!

And yet he acted as though they were old acquaintances, which made her particularly uncomfortable.

As she walked distractedly, a maid carrying a tray came into the doorway. Li Chengxiang, caught off guard, tried to make way, stepping awkwardly from her left foot to her right and tumbling towards the side.

Unable to balance herself, she simply closed her eyes tight.

Today had already been embarrassing enough; she couldn’t care less about being more embarrassed.

After all, she would never come to the Qin Residence again.

After today, she would move out of the Capital City,

But the expected pain did not come. When she realized what was happening, she had already fallen into a broad embrace.

She opened her eyes in surprise, and there was the young master, looking like jade, smiling warmly at her.

His voice was gentle, "I told you to walk slower. See, you almost tripped."

His tone was as intimate as whispers between lovers.

Li Chengxiang blushed from her earlobes to her neck.

She quickly pushed him away, "That, that..." She suddenly found herself stammering, "Thank, thank you."

"No need to thank me." Being so close to her, he found her exceedingly endearing, and his eyes softened with a desire he didn’t quite understand.

"This servant deserves death!" The maid holding the tray knelt on the ground, "Please, young master, punish me."

This statement snapped Li Chengxiang out of it, and she sprang from Qin Huai’s embrace, turned her back, cheeks burning red, her whole demeanor like a boiled shrimp.

Feeling the absence in his arms, the lingering touch of her hair still faintly on his hand,

Qin Huai felt a sense of loss. He waved off the maid nonchalantly, "Fortunately, no one was injured. Be more careful next time, now go about your business."

"Thank you, young master," the maid sighed with relief, picked up the tray from the ground, and left.

Seeing her leave, Li Chengxiang quickly followed, "Thank you, Young Master Qin, for your help."

Being called ’young master’ by the maid, and at such an age, he must be the Qin Family’s young master.

Knowing his identity, Li Chengxiang became calm, not wanting to have too much entanglement with the man before her.

She moved to follow the maid’s steps and leave.

Who would have thought that someone would grab his wrist.

Li Chengxiang frowned at the hand, "Mr. Qin, men and women should not touch each other; please show some self-respect."

Caught in a moment of urgency, Qin Huai had acted impulsively, but he immediately let go after being chided, "Sorry, I just didn’t want you to leave, so I..."

"Why didn’t you want me to leave?" Li Chengxiang was somewhat puzzled; it should be their first meeting today.

Seeing her looking at him, Qin Huai’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

At this moment, he felt as nervous as a young boy.

"Miss Li may not remember me. We had dealings a year ago, and you had me compensate nearly half of my shop."

Despite wrecking her brain, Li Chengxiang could not recall having made anyone compensate half a shop a year ago.

In her career in the business battles, the incidents where she demanded compensation were too numerous to count. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Seeing Li Chengxiang’s baffled expression, Qin Huai smiled wryly, "Miss Li probably doesn’t remember me, but that’s alright; I remember you."

"So, Mr. Qin, you lost the shop and feel unjust about it, wanting to challenge me again?" That was the only reason Li Chengxiang could think of.

Qin Huai was almost amused by her guess.

"I’ve been this proactive, Miss Li, can’t you see that I’m trying to pursue you?"

This statement left Li Chengxiang stunned.

She spoke in slight disbelief, "You, say that again?"

"I want to pursue you," Qin Huai repeated, word by word.

"Qin Huai, is it." Instead of making Li Chengxiang’s heart flutter, her expression turned slightly cold as she looked at Qin Huai and said, "If you think life is boring, go find your own fun, don’t bother me. My reputation in the Capital City isn’t good; I divorced at a young age, appeared publicly and dealt with men, everyone in the Capital City with a brain knows Li Chengxiang is not to be trifled with."

She turned to leave but, feeling really irritated, she turned back around, "If you bother me again, I’ll make sure your shops in the Capital City can’t operate!"

"That’s some big talk," Qin Huai laughed.

Li Chengxiang scoffed, "You can try if you like." She wasn’t boasting; Money Leopard’s influence in the Capital City was far greater than these nobles imagined.

Especially the man in front of her, Qin Huai, who lacked any business acumen, a former defeated foe, not to be feared.

Li Chengxiang left in a huff.

Qin Huai was left standing there, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He had finally mustered the courage to confess to the girl he liked, only to be scolded by her; what an affair it was.

Just then, Qin Erya’s voice came from outside, "Uncle, come quickly, everyone is waiting."

The outside was bustling with noise and excitement.

The girl in purple who had just stormed out was now nowhere to be found.

Qin Huai felt a loss, sighed, drew back his outstretched hand, and lazily replied, "I’m coming."

Grand Tutor’s eightieth birthday.

Being a leading figure in academia and also blessed with longevity, it was only natural for the Crown Prince and Crown Princess Consort to come and give their blessings.

Members of the Imperial Secret Police were seen parting the crowd on both sides.

The lavish carriage slowly stopped at the front gate.

Qin Family’s elders along with Zhang Quanzhong waited at the entrance.

The carriage curtain was lifted, revealing Xiao Pingfeng’s exceptionally handsome face.

Today, he was dressed in a white robe embroidered with golden dragon designs, looking elegantly distinguished as he descended from the carriage, then he reached his hand back into the carriage.

As soon as Yan Wanqing showed her face, the people couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

Today, she too was dressed in the same white attire as Xiao Pingfeng.

However, she was particularly well-dressed today, looking like a heavenly maiden descending to earth, her lips a strikingly beautiful red after being touched by rouge, truly a beauty outshining the flowers.

"Thank you, Crown Prince," Yan Wanqing said as she got out of the carriage, smiling with a hook of her lips.

The man watched her lips intently, his gaze meaningful, "Of course."

Yan Wanqing, recalling the scene in the carriage, couldn’t help but blush, shooting him a glance.

We’re in public, remember your image.

The Crown Prince coughed lightly, taking her hand, "Let’s go inside."
