I turned around and walked out of the door. Jun He immediately followed us out and stood between Zhou Yichen and me. He directly pulled my hand away from Zhou Yichen's.
After we got out, I first glared at Jun He, then apologized to Zhou Yichen, "Sorry."
Zhou Yichen shrugged and said indifferently, "It's my pleasure."
When Zhou Yichen was talking to me, he was looking at me all the time. It seemed that he didn't even notice Jun He's presence.
I glanced at Jun He again. He was almost poking his two - finger gesture into Zhou Yichen's eyes.
I reached out and patted his hand, signaling him not to go too far.
"What's wrong? Am I not handsome enough or not rich enough? I'm still here. Why are you holding his hand just because you're mad at Gu Yuan?"
I was really speechless with him. Gu Yuan didn't even react to such a situation, but Jun He was extremely angry.
"I'm warning you. If you dare to hold his hand again, do you believe that I'll send him away right away?" Jun He was so angry that he was hopping around.
Although his words sounded like a joke, don't forget his identity. Since he could be called the Demon Lord, he must not be a kind - hearted person. Thinking about the things he threatened me with before, I couldn't figure out his temper at all. He might do something crazy.
Zhou Yichen stood beside me. Seeing my unnatural movements towards the air, he wasn't surprised.
"Is there a celestial being following you?"
Unexpectedly, he knew me quite well. I really wanted to tell him that Jun He wasn't my celestial being but a demon who couldn't be enshrined in the spirit hall.
But I thought better of it. Even if I told him, he wouldn't understand.
"Yes, there's a celestial being following me. Let's go there now."
At my order, Zhou Yichen opened the passenger - side door, intending for me to get in. But unexpectedly, the rear door opened by itself.
Jun He gave me a look, indicating that I should sit in the back.
I could only pout and say, "I'll sit in the back. The sun is a bit blinding in the front."
As soon as I got in, Jun He squeezed in beside me. There was clearly enough room for three people, but he insisted on sitting in the middle and squeezing me.
I frowned at him. But since Zhou Yichen was there, I didn't dare to get angry with him.
Jun He seemed to see that I was holding back my anger. He snapped his fingers lightly, and a layer of black air seemed to flow over the back - seat, disappearing in a flash.
"Now you can talk. Feel free to say anything. Even if you pinch me now, he won't be able to see."
Since he said so, I had nothing to worry about.
I pushed him aside forcefully with both hands and said, "Don't you know the principle of propriety between men and women? I'm married. Can you be more decent?"
"Yeah, I've been waiting. Your husband is about to abandon you soon. Then I'll just take over."
I really wanted to spray him with salt water.
"Can't you wish me well? What did I do wrong for him to abandon me? What on earth are you two plotting?" Just mentioning that Gu Yuan might abandon me made me angry. Was I just a piece of goods that could be discarded at will?
"I can't tell you this. Anyway, I'm doing this for your own good. Remember, everything I do is just for you."
"Right, you're all doing this for my good, but you're all keeping things from me. Gu Yuan hides things from me, and you're helping him keep secrets from me."
The more I talked, the angrier and more aggrieved I became. By the end, I was on the verge of crying. Seeing my red - rimmed eyes, Jun He finally couldn't bear it.
"Alright, alright... Stop with this act. Go ask your little lover for help. As long as you say a word, he'll go through fire and water for you."
I didn't say a word. I covered my eyes with both hands, and my lips were trembling. Tears of grievance were about to burst out.
"Stop it, Lan Chiyu. Don't cry in front of me. Hold it back."
The more he said, the more I couldn't help it. "I... I want to hold it back, but I can't. Wuwuwu..."
Tears were falling like broken pearls. I just cried in front of him.
Seeing how heart - broken I was crying, with my facial features almost scrunched together, Jun He was a bit awkward. He was really uncomfortable.
"Alright, alright... Stop this act. Who are you showing it to?"
"Wuwuwu..."
"Oh, you're my ancestor. Alright, stop crying. I'll tell you after we've settled your classmate's matter."
Seeing there was hope, I quickly held out my little finger in front of Jun He.
"Then... Let's pinky - swear..."
He looked at my aggrieved little face, then stared at my hand for two seconds, as if he remembered something.
After a while, he finally held out his finger and hooked mine.
"Pinky - swear, no going back for a hundred years." Then I voluntarily stamped my thumb on his.
Jun He's hand trembled slightly. His gaze stayed on our hooked fingers, and he said dejectedly, "A hundred years is too short. I've waited for a thousand years, but I still haven't waited for that day."
"What did you say?" I didn't expect that the tactic of crying, making a scene, and threatening to commit suicide, which didn't work on Gu Yuan, actually worked on him. He agreed so readily.
I stopped crying immediately. Jun He gave me a thumbs - up and said, "You're really something."
As he was speaking, the car had already stopped. When Zhou Yichen opened the car door, Jun He immediately removed the miasma he had set up.
I lowered my head and got out of the car. Zhou Yichen looked at my face and asked, "Why were you crying?"
I quickly patted my face and said, "It's okay. Something got into my eye just now. I rubbed it out, and now it's fine."
Zhou Yichen wasn't a fool. He could tell. "Lanlan, if you have any grievances, you can tell me. Don't bear it all by yourself. It'll make you sick."
"Don't worry, senior. I'm really okay. I'm very strong - minded."
"Then can the celestial being beside you show himself?" Zhou Yichen didn't press further but asked such a question instead.
I turned to look at Jun He beside me. He was still brooding over the fact that I had used my tears to win his sympathy. His expression was strange when he looked at me.
"He doesn't really want to show up." I just told Zhou Yichen.
The next second, he showed himself. He was always like this. He never listened to me. He always did the opposite of what I said. Anyway, I was used to it.
Zhou Yichen looked at Jun He and his eyes lit up. "Isn't this that doctor?"
"Yes, but I'm a veterinarian," Jun He said.
Zhou Yichen didn't respond to his words. He pointed to the large manor in front of us and said, "This is Ling Chuchu's home."
I looked in the direction he was pointing, and it really opened my eyes.
The extravagance of the rich was really beyond my comprehension as a person from a poor mountain village.
This large manor was as big as a golf course. After the gate was opened, you had to take a special butler's car to get to the villa inside.
There were dry trees and strange - shaped rockeries around. The most prominent thing inside the manor was the large fountain in the middle. Maybe because it was winter, it was dry and there was no water in it. The small river around it was the same. There were a lot of stones piled up, but there was not a single trace of flowing water.
I was sitting in the back row. Jun He looked around, smacking his lips and shaking his head. He seemed quite dissatisfied with the layout of this manor.
"Is there something wrong?" I asked Jun He beside me.
"This is not just a little problem. There are huge problems."
