Chapter 348: Chapter 348: A Perfect Match

In the room, Ye Yiheng gently touched his cheek, feeling as if the warmth of her fingertips still lingered.

Suddenly remembering her discomfort on the boat, he hurriedly stepped out the door.

As soon as he exited, he bumped into someone.

Seeing that the other party was a woman, Ye Yiheng immediately stepped back three paces.

The woman furrowed her brows and rubbed her sore shoulder, "Hey, don’t you watch where you’re going?"

Her voice was crisp, carrying a tone of dissatisfaction in her query.

"Sorry, I was in a hurry just now," Ye Yiheng inclined his head slightly in apology.

Only then did the woman get a clear look at the man opposite her; although he had a beard, his skin was unusually fair, and looking at his height, he was quite tall, which somewhat alleviated her anger.

"Be more careful next time when you walk!"

Ye Yiheng nodded again and passed beside her, heading towards the deck.

The woman turned around, thoroughly sizing up the departing man’s figure.

Tsk tsk tsk, with such a stature, such a back, why had she never encountered him before?

Suddenly, she saw this man standing in front of a young girl...

Hmm, so he already had a woman.

Sigh, when would she find a perfect suitor for herself?

Ye Yiheng grabbed Leng Yu Yan’s hand, his voice deep, "It’s snowing outside, how could you stay out so long?"

"I didn’t stay out for long, I’m already walking back, aren’t I?"

Leng Yu Yan shyly retracted her hand, but he held it even tighter.

"It’s already dark, let’s go have dinner."

"Okay." She nodded her head.

They had eaten early today at Aunt’s house, and she was feeling a bit hungry now.

The two walked side by side towards the dining hall inside the cabin.

--

In the capital city, at Marquis Jiangyang Mansion.

Ji Qingyu stared blankly at the snowflakes falling in the night sky.

Where could Ah Yan be now?

Just then, Leng Song came hurriedly, bowing as he reported, "My lord, there’s news!"

Hearing this, Ji Qingyu’s expression turned stern, "To the study."

The master and servant entered the study.

After closing the door, Leng Song lowered his voice, "News has come from another province back to the capital, saying that the Abolished Crown Prince and the horse carriage both plunged into a ravine, the snow is too thick, making even the bones hard to find."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingyu’s handsome brows furrowed, and he squeezed his own chilling hands.

Like him, Ye Yiheng also suffered from the cold disease.

In the past, he thought he would wreak havoc in the capital city for a hundred years as a tyrannical scion, but now he no longer recognized himself as someone who behaved well.

Although everyone thought Ye Yiheng had a short life, he used to think so as well.

But deep down, he hoped that Ye Yiheng, this severe person, would live a long and enduring life.

But today, he received this news.

Ji Qingyu remained silent, and Leng Song did not dare to speak.

Master and servant were silent for a full quarter of an hour.

Suddenly, Leng Song heard Ji Qingyu ask, "And Ah Yan?"

Leng Song, who had been bowing his head the whole time, immediately straightened up, "My lord, the Commandery Princess, she..."

He didn’t know what to say that would help his lord face the situation calmly.

"Just say it!"

Ji Qingyu’s face darkened, a gloominess on his face that was rare for Leng Song to see.

His master always greeted others with a smile, and even when displeased, his face still maintained a mild smile.

At worst, the smile would entirely disappear.

But now, his handsome face so grim, it involuntarily made Leng Song shudder, and he immediately knelt on the ground, cupping his hands, "My lord, it’s said that when the carriage fell, there was a woman inside."

Hearing this, Ji Qingyu stepped back repeatedly, his body thudding against the bookcase, stopping only then.

He clenched his fist, Ah Yan was the girl with the most beautiful smile he had ever seen, the one who helped him when he was most embarrassed.

Li Yu, Li Yu, these were the most pleasant pseudonyms in the world.

Was there only Li Yu left now?

Ye Gaoyun, Ye Zhenxian, I, Ji Qingyu will never share the sky with you!

Ji Qingyu painfully closed his eyes.

However, Ye Gaoyun was a man of great power, and he could do nothing to him for the time being.

Suddenly remembering Ye Zhenxian, who had once given Ah Yan the Extreme Joy Powder, Ji Qingyu abruptly opened his eyes.

"Leng Song, quickly select a few men, tie up that bastard Ye Zhenxian for me, and throw him into the brothel!"

"Yes, master!"

Leng Song shivered, the brothel was a place of pleasure, but not for women.

Some men with peculiar tastes frequented the brothel.

If his master threw Prince Xian into the brothel, coming out unscarred would be the least of his worries.

"Make it clean, don’t leave any leverage for others!"

"Yes, I understand!"

Leng Song took the order and left.

--

On the ship, in the dining hall.

Ye Yiheng simply ordered a few dishes to share with Leng Yu Yan.

Although Leng Yu Yan was hungry, she ate slowly because of seasickness.

Just then, the woman who had bumped into Ye Yiheng walked past their table.

Having never seen such a handsome, bearded man before, the woman, feeling an itch in her heart, sat down at the table with Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan.

Both of them looked at the woman who had just sat down.

The woman flashed a smile at Ye Yiheng, "Husband, we must really be fated."

During her speech, she rolled her eyes at Leng Yu Yan.

Leng Yu Yan looked up at Ye Yiheng, not expecting that even with a false beard, there would still be women throwing themselves at him.

His charm really knew no bounds!

Thinking this, she let out a light laugh.

The woman, clearly upset that she looked prettier and even her laughter was more attractive, felt even more annoyed. Why was she laughing?

She felt her laughter hinted at something more.

The woman stopped looking at Leng Yu Yan and focused intently on Ye Yiheng, trying to smile as tenderly as possible, "Husband, we are on the same boat, which shows our fate is not trivial. Let me introduce myself, I am Jiang Yu, and you, what is your name?"

Seeing someone’s stern face, Leng Yu Yan, with a smile held back, suddenly felt her appetite improve, so she began to eat much faster.

Ye Yiheng remained silent, continuing to eat his meal in no hurry.

Jiang Yu, persistent, added, "I am twenty-eight years old, how old are you?"

Leng Yu Yan pursed her lips, holding back her laughter.

Out of nowhere, the woman named Jiang Yu shouted at her, "Hey, what are you laughing at? What’s so funny?"

Leng Yu Yan smiled lightly and responded, "What does my laughter have to do with you?"

Jiang Yu slammed the table, "If you laugh on this ship, it has everything to do with me!"

Then she murmured quietly, "Sly fox, why the laughter!"

Leng Yu Yan raised her eyebrows, "What did you call me?"

"I called you a sly fox!" Jiang Yu straightened her neck, "What about it, want to fight me? With those skinny arms and legs of yours?"

Leng Yu Yan, far from angry, laughed instead.

Jiang Yu was baffled, "What kind of person is this, getting scolded and still laughing so happily?"

Leng Yu Yan said, "If you call me a sly fox, doesn’t that mean I must be beautiful?"

Jiang Yu got up from the stool and stormed off, cursing, "Madwoman, madwoman, just a crazy woman."

Ye Yiheng remarked, "Someone insults you, and still you’re so happy."

"If someone praises my beauty, why should I be angry? I can barely keep up with my joy. Those who are ugly aren’t even called sly foxes," she paused then continued, "It’s just her calling me a madwoman that made me somewhat unhappy."

Ye Yiheng asked lightly, "I’m a madman, and you are a madwoman; aren’t we a perfect match?"
