Chapter 423: We are just friends, there is a long way to go
How ridiculous.
But even so, when Qi Ning'an turned around, he saw Lixia, Dahan and others standing behind him, and he immediately felt safe.
"Young lady, you are so amazing."
Guyu gave a thumbs up. She had never seen the young lady like this before. The young lady had always been humble and polite to them. How could she have seen her like this?
Dahan smiled. She knew that the young lady was always powerful. But the big reaction today was because Miss Li was too much.
Qi Ningan got on the carriage, and Li Xinran staggered towards the Kyoto restaurant again.
When we arrived at the Kyoto restaurant and just got off the carriage, we saw Qi Ning'an's face was dejected. He was really tired today. It would have been fine if he was just anxious, but encountering such a thing on the way back would make anyone unhappy.
The Lower Yuan Festival activities in the restaurant had just ended. Qi Ning'an looked at everyone busying around and Gu Qingyun and others playing games in the backyard.
Suddenly he felt angry.
"Gu Qingyun, I wonder what your relationship is with the daughter of the Qingzhou prefect, Mr. Li? She came to me today and told me not to seduce a married man. She stopped me and wouldn't let me come back. She made a scene at the gate of the palace. I threw wine on her maid. She was so angry that she said she would sue her father and her fiancé."
Seeing Gu Qingyun standing up in confusion, Qi Ning'an finally calmed down a little, "...I was too impatient just now. I apologize to you, but your women have indeed affected me. Next time, I don't want to be left there and accused of seducing a married man."
After saying this, she shook her sleeves and returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
I'm already so tired every day, how can I have the mood to take care of so many things.
Gu Qingyun???
"Mr. Li, the prefect of Qingzhou? Who is that?"
As he said that, he asked the people around him. Zhao Hengzhi smiled and said, "Isn't he the second uncle of the Cangzhou Li family? He has been promoted since he was a child for his amazing learning and intelligence. He is a child prodigy who has studied for more than ten years just to pass the imperial examination."
Zhao Hengzhi said it lightly, and Gu Qingyun was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "I don't know who this is. He doesn't even know me, but he comes to make random accusations. I'm really tired of living. I'm just injured and don't want to care about anything. I'm not really dead..."
Gu Qingyun didn't think about anything else, he just felt upset. Qi Ning'an didn't think so much either. It was natural. When Miss Li came to him, his first reaction was to come back and settle the score with Gu Qingyun.
Why is it that Gu Qingyun has nothing to do while she is in such a precarious situation outside?
Back at the Marquis' Mansion, Qi Ning'an waited for the servants to heat up the water for his bath. He had spent the entire day in the kitchen and even made a barbecue. Now even his hair smelled like that. He really couldn't sleep without washing it.
Qi Ningliang stood in the corridor at some point and smiled when he saw Qi Ningan sitting in a recliner at the door, looking at something in a strange posture.
"You are so cool! I heard that Miss Li made a big scene when she returned, but you are still standing here without moving. If I didn't hear it and didn't ask about it, are you going to keep silent?"
Qi Ning'an did not answer Qi Ningliang's question, because in her opinion, the other piece of news was more explosive than anything else.
"She went back to make a fuss? Hahahahahahaha, she's really just a little kid."
Qi Ningliang... No, sister, shouldn’t you be crying, making a fuss and acting like a spoiled child now?
"? I'm asking you, are you not going to tell us?"
Qi Ningliang actually cared a lot about Qi Ningan's answer. The reason was simple: what he cared about was whether Qi Ningan's answer was due to his personality or he really didn't consider them as a family.
Qi Ning'an smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Even if I don't tell you, you will know it sooner or later. And...what's there to say? I'm not the one who is crying out of anger, and I'm not the one who is rushing home to complain. I'm not in a hurry."
Qi Ningliang observed her expression carefully and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she really didn't seem to care. Fortunately, his sister was very generous.
However, the gossip in her heart still rose up, "You and Gu Qingyun..."
"He and I...? There's nothing going on. What could be going on?"
Qi Ningan was lying on the chair and didn't seem to be lying.
To be honest, Qi Ning'an really didn't feel that there was anything between them. She always regarded Gu Qingyun as a friend. Although there was sometimes an ambiguous atmosphere that made her feel weird, most of the time, there didn't seem to be any feelings between the two of them.
The most important thing is that Qi Ning'an now has a person who is almost 60 or even 70 years old living in his body. He is not so easily moved, nor is he the age where a few words can make him happy.
Even if there is something, it is not something that can be done urgently. We can only take our time.
Qi Ning'an looked at Qi Ningliang, and thought about Gu Qingyun's appearance.
Although Gu Qingyun was no longer like a primary school student after returning from Wubang, at least he was not so noisy anymore, but Qi Ningan knew that this was only a temporary thing, and maybe when Gu Qingyun recovered from his injury, he would return to his previous state.
Moreover, Qi Ning'an was indeed nice to Gu Qingyun. She admitted that if they really came to the step of getting married and having children, Gu Qingyun was indeed the best choice.
But now the Marquis' Mansion neither urged her nor allowed her to marry anyone at will, and even the Empress Dowager in the palace was not in a hurry, so she was not in a hurry at all.
There is ample time.
Qi Ningliang looked at Qi Ning'an's expression and nodded with relief.
It’s not that he dislikes Gu Qingyun, he is just afraid that his sister will be deceived. If she really needs to find someone, he really can’t think of who would be a good match.
The brother and sister sat at the door and chatted until the night got darker. Jin Bao came to call Qi Ning'an, "Miss, come and take a bath."
Qi Tao just came back. She has been going out early and coming back late during this period. She has started learning pottery, so she can't be late or leave early at will. Moreover, Qi Tao is very interested in this, so she goes there every day with great interest.
Qi Ning'an stood up and was about to take a shower when he saw Qi Tao and asked again, "How are you today?"
Qi Tao nodded, but she looked very tired. "Master said that I have a lot of talent, but I just don't have a lot of patience, so I've been training my endurance recently. This is the most difficult thing."
Qi Ning'an smiled and said, "Come on, work hard, I'll leave all the plates of my stores to you."
Qi Tao smiled and was very happy about Qi Ning'an's trust.
In an instant, everyone scattered.
Gu Qingyun also went back to the Marquis' Mansion and told everyone in the mansion that he had no intention of getting married yet, and that anyone who came to the mansion would be rejected, no matter their identity, status, official position, or family background.
Given Gu Qingyun’s current state, no one dared to provoke him and everyone nodded in agreement.
