Chapter 240 Xiao Tianyi’s Regret

Coming up from behind Xiao Jiuyuan, Xiao Tianyi pulled on his hand and said, "Ninth imperial uncle, put her down, will you? Don't treat her like this. She'll feel uncomfortable like this."0

After Xiao Tianyi said that, Xiao Yechen who was not far away also nodded his head. Opening his mouth, Xiao Yechen wanted to say something too.

However, Xiao Jiuyuan said in a flat tone, "Xiao Tianyi, do you think she wants your care?"

After saying that, he looked toward Yun Qianyu and saw her disdain for Xiao Tianyi.

If she hated Xiao Jiuyuan, then she hated Xiao Tianyi even more. In fact, Yun Qianyu felt disgusted by Xiao Tianyi's care and would rather continue being held up by the collar by Xiao Jiuyuan.

Seeing her disdain for Xiao Tianyi, Xiao Jiuyuan's mood suddenly improved.

With kinder words, Xiao Jiuyuan asked, "Yun Qianyu, do you need His Highness Xuan Prince to protect you?"

"No, not at all. I'd rather be held up like this."

Like a sharp knife, Yun Qianyu's words struck Xiao Tianyi's heart deeply.

Only now did Xiao Tianyi finally realize how much Yun Qianyu hated him. She was not just annoyed but looked at him with extreme hate.

With a pale face, Xiao Tianyi subconsciously took a step back.

Yan Jinghong, the eldest son of the Yan Bei family, quickly stepped forward to support him. Yan Jinghong could see that his cousin was now regretting his decision to dismiss Yun Qianyu and to use her to get Yun Qianxue.

If Xiao Tianyi had some regrets early on, he was definitely regretting it now after witnessing Yun Qianyu's chess skills.

Yan Jinghong knew that his cousin's greatest wish was to marry a woman who understood him and was able to play chess. 

Yet, he had let this woman go. Not only that, he had even pushed her away.

Even though Xiao Tianyi was distressed, he couldn't do anything about it now. After all, Yun Qianyu was now Xiao Jiuyuan's fiancee.

Unless Xiao Jiuyuan decided not to marry Yun Qianyu, there was no way anyone else could marry her.

As he looked at Xiao Jiuyuan, it seemed that he did not want to let go of Yun Qianyu.

In a better mood now, Xiao Jiuyuan finally lowered Yun Qianyu and let go of her collar. Not only did he let her go, he even tried to help Yun Qianyu tidy up her clothes.

Without being grateful to him for doing so, Yun Qianyu gave him a quick glare and immediately took a step back to put some distance between them. Not wanting his help, she tidied up her own clothing.

Being in a good mood, Xiao Jiuyuan did not get annoyed by her actions. Instead, he asked in a lazy tone, "Have you not consumed the Skin Regeneration pill I gave you?"

Shocked by his question, Yun Qianyu swiftly looked up toward Xiao Jiuyuan.

Thinking about the fact that Xiao Jiuyuan had glared at her previously, she wondered 'Did he find out that I have given the Skin Regeneration pill to Hua Mei? Is he angry because of this?'

It should be known that an arrogant and petty person like Xiao Jiuyuan seldom gave anyone anything.

'This is why he is unhappy! He came looking for trouble because of this.'

Thinking about a good excuse, Yun Qianyu swiftly replied to him, "I haven't had time to consume it."

Simply put, she couldn't allow Xiao Jiuyuan to find out that Hua Mei had consumed the pill or else Hua Mei would be punished.

Also in the courtyard, Hua Mei's face became pale when she heard Xiao Jiuyuan's question.
