Well Known in the City 10

Qi Qingyao kicked the man's leg. "Go and open the door quickly then, why are you standing here?"0

Jiang Yeqian put on the mask quickly and signaled to Si Jin. "You go."

Si Jin pouted but did not say anything. He put on his mask and went and opened the door.

The sight of the person on the other side of the door made him frown when he opened it.

"Lu…" Lu Yan!

Lu Yan subtly swept his gaze over the empty space above the door and said, "There's no plaque on the door, I've made one for her and sent it over." He had called someone over to take away the Lu Residence sign before he left.

She had been so busy that she had not made the plaque yet.

Si Jin was dumbfounded. Lu Yan had already asked someone to bring the plaque over. They even brought a ladder and had immediately hung the plaque up.

After that, the workers braved the rain, got onto the carriage, and left quickly.

Only Lu Yan, Dong Jing, and four guards were left.

It seemed that the head of the Lu family was not here to pick a fight, seeing how sincere he was. Si Jin brought them into the house and led them all the way to the hall.

Lu Yan knew this mansion better than him.

Qi Qingyao was shocked when she saw her guests.

Si Jin first reported the situation to Qi Qingyao. Qi Qingyao happily ran out to find the Qi Residence plaque hanging above the door. The gold wordings on the black background were particularly domineering!

When she came in again, she hurriedly poured tea for Lu Yan herself.

She spoke in a friendly manner.

"My, Little Yan, thank you so much for the plaque."

As the saying went, 'We do not punish the smiling man (TN: Refers to not having the heart to punish someone who has offered their apologies.'

Since he came here with sincerity, it would not do good for her to keep a sullen face.

Lu Yan hugged the cat, his fingers tightening a little. The white cat felt suffocated and leaped down from Lu Yan's lap, leaving Lu Yan sitting alone rather nervously. "Ahem, the thing is, I came here to…"

Qi Qingyao said keenly, "Don't tell me you're here to kill me."

"Why should I kill you?" Lu Yan rolled his eyes at her. "You'd successfully survived last night. I'm afraid that no one in half of Qingzhou City dares to touch you now." When he received the news, he knew that the two people by her side must be rank nines. This strength… was enough for her to do whatever she wanted in Qingzhou City.

Qi Qingyao had thought the same too.

Lu Yan straightened his back and said, "I have something to tell you. Have them retreat first."

Of course, Qi Qingyao would not simply do as he said.

She looked at him silently for a while, then gave an order.

"Stand back, everyone."

The children were playing in the next hall and were not here. Jiang Yeqian glared at Lu Yan fiercely, but still went out.

Si Jin followed after him.

Qi Qingyao said, "Are you sure you won't kill me?"

"I looked for you because I have something to tell you!" Lu Yan said seriously.

After Jiang Yeqian, Si Jin, and Dong Jing left, Lu Yan seemed a little uneasy. He told Dong Jing, "Dong Jing, help me keep an eye on them and tell the both of them to stand by the pond in the backyard. Don't let them overhear our conversation."

Jiang Yeqian naturally did not agree with this arrangement.

Qi Qingyao thought about it and had them do as they were told.

The white cat followed after Si Jin happily.

After everyone was dismissed and it was only the two of them left in the side hall, Qi Qingyao carried the hot-water bottle and poured him a cup of tea. She said as she drank, "What do you want to tell me? How mysterious."

Lu Yan did not take the teacup. He sat there and looked down, seeming a little at a loss of what to do.

"I…" He hesitated, unable to say a word.

"??"

"..."

"Speak!"

"..."

Qi Qingyao urged him twice, but Lu Yan continued sitting there without saying a word. Qi Qingyao stopped urging and just held her forehead helplessly. She looked at him for a moment before beginning to drink her tea. He still had not uttered a word by the time she finished a cup of tea. Qi Qingyao continued waiting until she was done with the drink.

She patted the table impatiently.
