399 Domineering (Part 1)
Liu Qinqin was still lying on the ground when the scene played out.
When she rolled down the stairs, she fell by Zhao Zhan’s feet. When she looked up and saw who it was, her original anger turned into grievance. As she spoke, she had already raised her arm, waiting for Zhao Zhan to help her up.
If the other party was a gentleman, he could not turn a blind eye Right?
However, this country bumpkin immediately walked past her and completely ignored her presence!
“I-I was so scared.”
Yue Jiaojiao had been practicing for the past two years. She had never displayed her previous temperaments because Zhao Zhan was usually considerate of her, making her seem more sensible and considerate than anyone else.
At this moment, her small face was pale. She gently leaned on Zhao Zhan’s shoulder. Her voice was so soft that it made one feel pity for her. “I’ve really never seen such a brutal scene. It scared me to bits.”
How could Zhao Zhan not tell the truth in her words? However, he still looked at Liu Qinqin coldly, and then gently coaxed his lover, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
The two of them were really infuriating.
Liu Qinqin couldn’t take it anymore after being surrounded by the gossip of the people around her. She got up on her own and glared at Zhao Zhan with her long and narrow eyes. She was so aggrieved that her eyes had turned red. “Zhao Zhan, your actions just now were not the actions of a gentleman.”
Zhao Zhan turned a deaf ear to her, his eyes fixated on Yue Jiaojiao. “Are you done buying the things you wanted? If you’ve bought everything you like, I’ll carry you home.”
“Zhao! Zhan!”
From the moment she saw Zhao Zhan’s figure on his horse at the city gates yesterday, Liu Qinqin could not suppress the emotions in her heart.
She was pampered and had a willful personality since she was a child. The more she couldn’t have it, the more she would ask for it. She would often say some things that would make people angry in an attempt to attract other people’s attention.
Her attitude towards Zhao Zhan yesterday was only to deepen his impression of her in Zhao Zhan’s heart.
“I was the one who fell, why would she be scared?” Liu Qinqin wished she could slap Yue Jiaojiao with her hand. She looked at Zhao Zhan with anger and resentment in her eyes. “She’s being absolutely petty.”
Zhao Zhan wrapped his arms around Yue Jiaojiao’s waist and pulled her into his embrace.
“My wife and I clearly don’t know who you are. Why are you being so overbearing?
“My wife is intelligent, generous, and most polite and considerate. What do you mean by that? Are you slandering my wife?
“If you continue to be like this, I’ll have to report your actions to the officers and ask the capital’s officers to deal with this matter!”
“How can you not remember who I am??” Liu Qinqin blurted out. “I clearly told you my name at the city gate yesterday!”
As she spoke, she lowered her head slightly and her ears turned red. “A girl’s name is the most private thing to share. You clearly heard it, so how can you pretend not to remember my name? Why? Is it because this country bumpkin woman is by your side, so you have no choice but to deliberately say that?”
