Chapter 301 - Former Adoration Turns to Dislike

Chapter 301 Former Adoration Turns to DislikeDi Yan never thought he would meet Qi Rongzhi at this time and became overjoyed instantly. When he found she was slipping over, he held her in his arms as he found no other people were nearby.

He said with a broad smile, “Miss Qi, be careful!”

Di Yan hadn’t seen Qi Rongzhi for a long time. When he saw her now, he felt happy. He especially pressed her more tightly with his hands and then let her off slowly.

But the process was a bit too long, and anyone would found their relationship seemed a little ambiguous.

“Thank you, Childe Di!” Qi Rongzhi blushed, backed off a few steps, stood steady and then bowed to thank Di Yan. She avoided him a little fast and too much as if she was trying to avoid something dirty. Di Yan’s face turned stiff, but then he became gentler. “You’re welcome. Miss Qi, did you come to see Cousin Yu at this time?”

“Yes!” Qi Rongzhi lowered her head and said. Her attitude was warm and soft, but she was alienated!

“I’ve heard you will become the adopted daughter of Madam of Duke Xing, right?” Di Yan asked with a broad smile.

“It is Madam of Duke Xing’s special care!” Qi Rongzhi whispered.

After this question, they seemed to have nothing to chat about. The atmosphere between them was inexplicably awkward. The awkward feeling was completely different from Di Yan’s imagined gentleness and comfort. For an instant, he didn’t know where he should begin, but seeing her charming side face made him a little unwilling to give up.

“How have you been recently?” When he looked around but didn’t see anyone, his voice became much lower and gentler.

“Thanks very much for your asking, Childe Di!” Qi Rongzhi said impatiently, raised her head slowly, and gave a smile. “Childe Di, I still have something to do, and I shall let you take your time to see First Miss Qin!”

As she finished, she bowed and then turned and left, walking faster as if she didn’t want to have a close relationship with Di Yan. Chunyi who followed her looked at Di Yan and then at Qi Rongzhi who had been a few steps away, bit her lip, also bowed to Di Yan, and then went to chase after her.

Di Yan changed his expression, looked angry, and kicked a small tree on the roadside. The small tree was shaken violently, all the few leaves falling off.

“B*tch!”

Although he was not very smart, he was not that stupid, either. When she just arrived in the capital, she made all efforts to appear before him, looking like she was attached to him. Certainly, he knew she had liked him, and he had also liked her at that time.

With her identity, Qi Rongzhi could not be his concubine, and he was bound to marry Qin Yuru. Anyway, both of them were good friends, and he should let one be his first wife and one his second wife.

Unexpectedly, their affair had come to such a result. Now Qi Rongzhi had disliked him! Yes, right, she had disliked him. Just now, he could not believe the dislike she showed in the beginning, but now he was clear about everything by seeing her back.

A woman of a small family did dare to look down upon him. That was why the proud Di Yan felt angry, his face turning dark.

The servant standing behind him lowered his head and dare not move at all!

“Cousin, you haven’t found she is a s*ut until now, have you?” A voice with somewhat ridicule came from his side, and Di Yan frowned. Qi Rongzhi did make him unhappy, but what Qin Yuru was doing now could not give him joy, either.

But when he thought of her mother’s instructions, he changed his expression back to normal and then turned around slowly. He didn’t know when Qin Yuru had come out of her courtyard and stood like this beside him, or if she had seen the interaction between him and Qi Rongzhi.

“She has built ties with someone of a higher status and looked down upon us, right?” Cleverly, Di Yan didn’t mention the romance between them just now and only said a few words with a deep meaning.

“That’s right. So, she has looked down upon your Duke Yong’s Mansion!” Qin Yuru sneered and said. She had just come out for a short while, but a servant girl had seen Qi Rongzhi and Di Yan hold each other and reported it to her. Then, she hurried out, but it was still too late, and Qi Rongzhi had already left.

“She has built ties with Madam of Duke Xing? I’ve heard she took the initiative to do that!” Di Yan pursed the corners of his lips. This was not a secret in Qin’s Mansion. It was said Madam of Duke Xing liked Qin Wanru in the beginning, but no one knew why she finally liked Qi Rongzhi.

“She is a b*tch indeed. She desperately begged Madam of Duke Xing! But what’s the point that Madam of Duke Xing had to adopt her? And she is not the only one who has the opportunity to be a Miss in Duke Xing’s Mansion!” Qin Yuru sneered, turned around to walk inside and ignored Di Yan, making his anger glint in his eyes. Hesitating for an instant, he still smiled and followed her.

“Cousin, what do you mean?” Di Yan quickened a few steps, caught up with her, and asked with a grin.

“I mean nothing, but I only feel sorry to see that someone’s good heart has been treated as an evil intent!” Qin Yuru looked sideways at Di Yan and said with a sneer.

“Right, just now I wanted to support her out of a good heart, but she avoided me not in time as if I wanted to do something to her!” Di Yan said with a smile as if he had not found other meanings in Qin Yuru’s words.

Qin Yuru took a suspicious look at Di Yan.

“Cousin, she is obviously no match for you in whatever respect, but why did she win Madam of Duke Xing’s heart!” Di Yan said again. He said so and also meant so. Qin Yuru and he had been engaged. If Qin Yuru was good, he would be good, too.

Initially, she thought Qi Rongzhi and he also loved each other, was hoping to find an opportunity to communicate with her and learn her attitude, and told him her heart, but he never thought Qi Rongzhi turned her back on him!

“Cousin, you also think so?” Qin Yuru cast a sidelong glance at Di Yan and asked very proudly.

“Of course, I think so. I will marry you, and we are one. If you are good, I will be good; if I am good, you will be good too!” Di Yan smiled and said.

He hadn’t had a good time recently. No matter where he went, he would be pointed at by others. He was so upset that he didn’t want to go out. Although his old bad friends were still with him, they would always take him as an example when they spoke of some things, and they would also make him lose face.

Neither he nor Qin Yuru had a good reputation now!

The fact that he forced a declined aristocratic family’s daughter to die was now still an entertaining love affair rumor for others to talk about, and some even came to ask him about that to tease him.

Now Di Yan did hope Qin Yuru could build ties with Duke Xing’s Mansion. At least, with the mansion as his backer, no one would dare to belittle him.

“Cousin, it is best if you think so. If I become a Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion, I will not ignore you as Qi Rongzhi does now!” Qin Yuru gave a small smile, looking somewhat reserved and proud. Madam Di had told her that if she also joined Duke Xing’s Mansion, her status would be completely different from Qi Rongzhi’s.

Qi Rongzhi was adopted out of unwillingness, for Madam of Duke Xing was also helpless at that time. Qin Wanru was unwilling, but the madam had leaked the information. After Qi Rongzhi was adopted, she had been living unnoticed in Qin’s Mansion, which meant Madam of Duke Xing didn’t take her seriously.

Madam Di also analyzed this situation for her. The cause was the incident that Duke Xing’s niece framed Qin Wanru up in the palace. In fact, Miss Wang was really strange because she dealt with Qin Wanru without reason, and Qin Yuru also thought she was stupid. To show her friendliness to Qin’s Mansion, Madam of Duke Xing began to give Qi Rongzhi special care.

Qi Rongzhi’s success was completely because of Qin’s Mansion.

If a Miss of Qin’s Mansion wished to be friendly with Duke Xing’s Mansion, Madam of Duke Xing was bound to be more willing.

With the analysis and preparations of Madam Di, Qin Yuru thought that joining Duke Xing’s Mansion was a sure thing. Just now when she heard Di Yan held Qi Rongzhi at the entrance of her courtyard, her face turned dark out of anger and even didn’t want to marry Di Yan if he was really terrible; when she became the Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion, she wouldn’t need to worry about getting a good marriage!

“Cousin Yu, of course, I think so. God will see my sincerity to you. In the past, I thought wrongly and did wrong things, but I won’t be like that in the future or look at other women. Qi Rongzhi only looks decent and can’t compare with you. Just now when she was about to fall, I thought she is your good sister. If not so, I wouldn’t have helped her.”

Di Yan knew Qin Yuru might have known what he did just now, and so he soothed her instantly.

He was good at soothing people, making Qin Yuru beam with delight. She disliked Qi Rongzhi, and so when she heard Di Yan belittled her so much, she became even happier.

Then, Di Yan became much pleasing to her eye. Two of them entered the room one after the other. Her servant girl carried tea to them and retired to the side.

“Cousin, since you also wish me to have a good life, that’s good. My mother has written a letter to your mother. Cousin, you can take it to her in a while. After your mother reads it, she will understand!” Qin Yuru took a letter out of her sleeve and handed it to Di Yan. She had been waiting for Di Yan to take the letter.

Madam Di could not hand the letter directly.

“What’s in it?” Di Yan took the letter, looked at the tightly sealed envelope, and asked with a surprise.

“Your mother will know after she reads it. If I get profits in the future, they will also be your profits!” Qin Yuru knew what was written in the letter. When she thought she would be promoted to a Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion right away and the attention and gifts she could get would be much more than what Qi Rongzhi had, she couldn’t help showing some pride on her face.

Seeing Qin Yuru’s face, Di Yan felt something beneath the matter and moved his head near her. “Cousin Yu, please tell me, and let me get prepared. You are about to marry me soon, and we will be a couple by then. Books say that if a couple is of the same mind, their combined determination will overcome all obstacles.”

Di Yan gave a broad and sweet smile and looked at Qin Yuru affectionately as if he did treat Qin Yuru as the woman he cared about most.

The utterly uncovered gentleness almost came out of his eyeballs. Qin Yuru blushed and lowered her head coyly. “Cousin, I won’t marry you so soon, please don’t talk this way, or I will feel ashamed!”
