3459 Fury
Wanyan Shisan noticed the situation had gotten worse and pulled Jun Jueshang away quickly. He didn’t dare leave him there to irritate Wanyan Qianhua any further. Even so, he couldn’t figure out what caused Qianhua to burst out in fury so quickly.
After Wanyan Shisan had taken Jun Jueshang away, Feng Jiu finally let out a sigh of relief and sat next to her. “Sister, what are you angry about with him? He’s basically an idiot, I doubt he even knows why you’re furious.”
Wanyan Qianhua began to calm down after seeing everyone leave and hearing Feng Jiu’s words. Her mood had become more irascible due to her pregnancy, which explained her outburst upon hearing Jun Jueshang’s statements.
She also knew she shouldn’t get upset easily while pregnant, but she couldn’t stop herself.
“How did he come here?” Wanyan Qianhua asked Feng Jiu. After some thought, she realised Feng Jiu would not have told Jun Jueshang that she stayed here.
Feng Jiu sighed helplessly. “Ever since he found out I was coming to see you, he has been secretly searching the city, but couldn’t find any news of you. So, he shifted his attention to my big brother.”
“I was in the courtyard when my brother ran in to tell me that while they were playing chess, Jun Jueshang had tricked him into letting slip that Peach Blossom Ridge, a spot with beautiful scenery, was mine, and so he came. As soon as I found out, I rushed over here.”
Wanyan Qianhua’s expression darkened even more as she listened to her explanation. “He actually started to play mind games, how promising!”
“He’s not an ordinary person. You won’t be able to conceal what you’re doing here for long. You two were bound to meet eventually, so I thought, since he knows, you might as well meet! Who knew he would suddenly propose marriage to you.”
Feng Jiu couldn’t help but shake her head and smile wryly. For a woman, especially a proud one like her sister, it’s impossible to marry him just because she’s carrying his child. Anyone hearing Jun Jueshang’s proposal would think he’s marrying her because she’s pregnant with his child.
If an ordinary woman heard that the sect master of the magnificent Insouciant Sect wanted to marry her, she would be thrilled and agree right away. But this woman was her sister, Wanyan Qianhua. It should come as no surprise that she became furious because Jun Jueshang’s remarks to her felt like an insult to her.
“He wants to steal my child!”
Wanyan Qianhua said with a stern face. Recalling his expression when he stared at her belly, she couldn’t help stroking her belly with a determined look in her eyes. “This child is mine! He better not think about taking it away from me!”
When Feng Jiu heard this, she was taken aback and then laughed. “Sister, you misunderstood. He doesn’t want to take the child from you.”
Jun Jueshang was not a man who would marry a woman solely for the sake of a child. If he mentioned marriage, it’s because the woman carrying his child is her, Wanyan Qianhua.
Wanyan Qianhua, however, was not paying attention to Feng Jiu’s remarks just now. She felt insecure as if Jun Jueshang could take her child if he wanted to, and she was worried she couldn’t fight him off.
So, after thinking for a moment, she turned to Feng Jiu with a worried look, “Ah Jiu, do you think I should run away and hide now? I’m really worried that he will take my child.”
Seeing this, Feng Jiu comforted her, “Sister, don’t worry. He won’t take your child. You don’t have to worry, he isn’t stronger than I am. If he dares to take your child, I will definitely not let him off.”
