223: You're way too impatient!
To be honest, Huangfu Yunyan did not look particularly outstanding. Even with her dressing up tonight, she was not at the level where men would be so infatuated with her.
Yet, the Xiao Yi before her acted as if he had never seen a woman before, which left Huangfu Yunyan very confused. "Young Master Xiao, what is this?"
Wasn't this Xiao Yi from a wealthy background? Why did he look like he had never seen a woman?
Huangfu Yunyan's Maid was so frightened by this expression that she took a step back.
Xiao Yi then spoke up, "Young lady, please come in and sit for a while. May I ask how to address you?"
Huangfu Yunyan was worrying about how to find an opportunity to strike up a conversation with Xiao Yi. Now that he had taken the initiative, she hurriedly adjusted her expression, making it as seductive as possible.
"In that case, thank you, Young Master Xiao. My surname is Huangfu, and my name is Yunyan."
"So it is Miss Huangfu. Quickly, please, come in."
Xiao Yi's expression was excited.
Huangfu Yunyan did not stand on ceremony either; she brought her Maid over and sat obediently beside Huangfu Rui.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi did not get angry; instead, he excitedly clapped his hands and signaled for his subordinates to leave.
The two burly subordinates understood the implication and immediately closed the door and left.
Xiao Yi sat down opposite Huangfu Yunyan, "Miss Huangfu, may I ask what your relationship is with him?"
Huangfu Yunyan smiled and said, "He is my cousin."
Huangfu Rui also nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, I am her cousin."
At this moment, Xiao Yi was stunned, "That is strange. Since you two are cousins, I wonder where Miss Yunyan's husband is? Why is he not accompanying you?"
"Husband?"
Huangfu Rui was stunned, "Young Master Xiao, you have misunderstood. My cousin has not married yet, so where would a husband come from?"
Xiao Yi was stunned. He stared at Huangfu Yunyan, narrowed his eyes, and then laughed, "Miss Yunyan, are you truly not married?"
Huangfu Yunyan felt a chill in her heart. She did not know why Xiao Yi would have such a thought, and his expression seemed to suggest he really hoped she had been married before!
Could this guy have some special fetish?
As she was thinking this, Xiao Yi spoke up, "It seems you two do not know much about my reputation, Xiao Yi. I think it is necessary to introduce myself to you."
Huangfu Yunyan and Huangfu Rui were both a bit embarrassed. To be honest, they were just waiting for Xiao Yi to introduce himself.
Xiao Yi took a sip of wine before speaking indifferently, "You should have heard of 'judging a woman by her scent.' Well, I am the type of person with a 'scent-detecting body' that can do exactly that."
"I can tell from the scent on a woman whether she is an unmarried maiden or a woman who has already fallen into the Mortal World!"
"Miss Yunyan, the scent on you cannot deceive me. You are certainly no maiden!"
"If you do not have a husband, then your private life must be quite chaotic!"
Hearing this, Huangfu Yunyan's face changed drastically. No wonder this guy kept staring at her; it turned out he could actually smell that her body was no longer pure.
Huangfu Rui hurriedly said, "I really did not expect Young Master Xiao to have such a skill. It is just that my sister's matter is not exactly glorious, so it was not our intention to hide it."
Huangfu Yunyan chimed in, "Young Master Xiao, I unfortunately met the wrong person in my earlier years and lost my chastity, but this has nothing to do with the matter we came to seek your help with."
Xiao Yi laughed, "That is where you are wrong. I cannot blame you, though; it is mainly because you do not understand me. I have no interest in your cooperation, but I am very fond of affairs of the heart."
"And there is one most important point: I have only one hobby, and that is, I like married women."
"If you were Huangfu Rui's woman, I might be willing to listen to what you are planning for a price. But you are not, and your chastity is already gone, so I have no interest."
"Please leave!"
Xiao Yi directly made a gesture to shoo them away, clearly not intending to continue the conversation.
Huangfu Rui was dumbfounded at this moment, unable to believe Xiao Yi's words.
It really is true that in a big enough forest, there are all kinds of birds. Who the hell could have imagined that the son of the Former Prefect would actually like other people's wives?
He specifically targets married women; he should be ashamed to say that out loud.
However, looking at Xiao Yi, it was clear that he did not care at all about what others thought of him.
He practically had the four characters for 'shameless' carved onto his forehead!
At this moment, Huangfu Yunyan also understood why Xiao Yi had that expression when he first looked at her. It was like he had discovered a new continent; it turns out he had mistaken her for a married woman.
Now that he knew she was not married, he had no interest at all.
This left Huangfu Yunyan speechless. She never expected things to develop to this point. At this critical juncture, she couldn't just find someone to marry off to, right?
Besides, he might not even accept a woman who just married on the spot.
But being chased away just like that, she was really unwilling.
Her brain worked rapidly, and she soon thought of a solution.
She spoke up, "Young Master Xiao, although I have not married, the matter we are planning this time does concern a married woman, and that woman is one who married out of the Jiang Family in Liangzhou City."
"Is Young Master Xiao interested?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi immediately stopped what he was doing and asked excitedly, "A woman from the Jiang Family? Who is it??"
Just as Huangfu Yunyan was about to speak, she suddenly saw from the window that on the street outside, Jiang Shuwan was walking out of the Inn with Chun Tao, looking like she was about to go out.
She pointed over there, "It is her!"
"The young lady from the Jiang Family who married into the Feng Family in Liumian Prefecture, now the wife of the Second Young Master of the Feng Family, Feng Ming—Jiang Shuwan."
Xiao Yi looked in the direction she was pointing, and was instantly stunned. He widened his eyes, wishing his eyeballs would pop out and stick to Jiang Shuwan.
Saliva was even flowing from the corner of his mouth, looking absolutely ravenous.
"A top-tier beauty! A top-tier beauty!"
While speaking, Xiao Yi had already stood up and chased after her, his voice drifting from afar.
"Wait until I have obtained her, then I will come back to discuss the matter with you two!"
Xiao Yi left, leaving Huangfu Rui stunned and dumbfounded.
"No, he is too impatient. What do we do now?"
He hadn't even finished discussing the matter, but after just one look at Jiang Shuwan, he rushed out.
He didn't even have time to stop him!
Huangfu Yunyan sneered, "What do you mean 'what do we do'? What does that have to do with us? We have made the connection. Whether it succeeds or not is his business; he will definitely see us again in the future."
"If it succeeds, even better. Without me having to lift a finger, someone will deal with the Feng Family; it is the perfect opportunity to kill with a borrowed knife. If it does not succeed, we can use Xiao Yi to make a connection with the Jiang Family, and it will not be too late to deal with Feng Ming then."
"Let's go! We are going back now! Remember, you have never been here to see Xiao Yi, and you do not know him."
Huangfu Rui said worriedly.
"We naturally will not talk about this on our end, but what if our meeting with Xiao Yi is exposed by him?"
"After all, Jiang Shuwan is Feng Ming's wife. If Xiao Yi does 'that' to her, he will definitely go crazy. If Xiao Yi exposes us, that would be terrible."
Huangfu Yunyan sneered, "So what?"
