Chapter 384: Movement Technique

Chu Liuyue kept her Cosmic Bag calmly and smiled. “Oh? I didn’t know about this.”

With his eyes on her hand, Jian Fengchi smiled as he raised his chin haughtily. “Well, that’s not important; it was in the past anyway. Can you show me the gift you brought for Hong Yao?”

Chu Liuyue kept the gift hidden in the bag. “Young Master Jian, it’s just a small trinket. I’m sure it wouldn’t interest you. Since you said Hong Yao is only allowed to accept presents from one specific person, I prefer not to embarrass myself. Please forgive me if I have offended you.”

Hong Yao lowered its head in disappointment and swung around to glare at Jian Fengchi, clearly blaming him. If he hadn’t shown himself, I would be playing with my gift now.

Hong Yao had been looking forward to it for the past two weeks.

A sinister smile appeared on Jian Fengchi’s lips, making him look especially foppish. “Ms. Chu, relax. I can see that Mu Qinghe likes you a lot. Perhaps he will make an exception for you.”

This woman’s eyes are so similar to that person’s.

Chu Liuyue wasn’t keen on continuing this discussion with Jian Fengchi, so she changed the topic subtly. “You’re too kind, Young Master Jian. Actually, I came today to see if Lieutenant Mu is back. When I was here a few days ago, all of you were out.”

She had guessed that something must’ve happened to Mu Qinghe because he was a man who always kept his word. If he said he would be away for ten days, he would come back unless something serious happened.

Jian Fengchi was deep in his thoughts as he stared at Chu Liuyue. For some reason, I have the feeling that she doesn’t want to speak to me. The feeling of being ignored is back; how strange. I’m a popular man among women, but I must’ve done something to offend Chu Liuyue for her to treat me like this.

“I think women from Country Yao Chen must really hate me,” he said with an exaggerated sigh.

Chu Liuyue narrowed her eyes with a polite smile. “Young Master Jian, please don’t take this the wrong way. It’s nothing personal; I’m just worried about Lieutenant Mu. Has anyone else made you unhappy?”

Jian Fengchi was behaving as though he had suffered a grievance elsewhere.

His behavior piqued Chu Liuyue’s curiosity. Few people could tame Jian Fengchi.

His usual soulless eyes looked sad as he struggled to speak. Finally, he swallowed whatever he was going to say and headed into the house. “Nevermind. I am not one to bear a grudge on such things.”

As he walked away from her, he drawled loudly, “Mu Qinghe, the girl is here for you.”

Chu Liuyue shuddered.

G-girl? He must be out of his mind. How dare he call me ‘girl?’ Chu Liuyue ground her teeth while she made a mental note to teach him a lesson next time.

She suppressed her unhappiness and ran after him.

Jian Fengchi didn’t slow down. Instead, he waved his hand casually. “He’s in the backyard. Go look for him yourself.”

He strode away in the opposite direction as though he couldn’t be bothered with her.

Chu Liuyue muttered her gratitude and headed for the backyard.
