Chapter 1803: Refined Scoundrel
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I’m too ashamed to face anybody, Cousin Hexin.” It took quite a while for Yuan You to finally lift her head from Hexin’s arms. Her face was so red that it looked like it could explode.
“Don’t think too much about it. Qi Heng might not be aware of what you were referring to.” This was the only way Hexin could comfort her. Yuan You clenched her teeth and blurted, “Refined scoundrel!”
Hexin agreed. “You’re right.”
“What is he going to think of me?” Yuan You said with an upset look on her face.
“We don’t even know each other well, why would you care what he thinks about you? It won’t be long before he returns to Great Shang and we’ll probably never see each other again. You shouldn’t worry over this.”
“Even then, we still need to see each other every day during this time. It’s going to be very awkward.” Yuan You regretted saying those words terribly. Who knew that refined scoundrel, Qi Heng, would coincidentally overhear them?
“There is no use regretting it now that things are this way. Although, you have to remember to mind what you say in the future. Stop spouting such embarrassing words out loud.” Hexin took the opportunity to tease her.
“I’ll stop speaking such nonsense from now on.” Yuan You’s head fell.
“Although, is Qi Heng a ghost? How can he appear so silently all the time?” “Why not say that you’re the one with the loud voice?” Hexin teased.
“Aren’t you my cousin? Why aren’t you standing on my side?” Yuan You pouted angrily.
“Alright, I’ll stop it. I’m feeling a little tired from waking up too early today. I’ll be taking a nap,” Hexin said softly as she yawned.
“Okay, go ahead.” Yuan You felt a little helpless and later reminded Hexin, “Remember to invite me along the next time you leave for some fun. It’s not easy for me to be out for a trip and I don’t want to be stuck inside the temporary imperial residence.”
“I will,” Hexin promised.
After everyone was done with their meal that night, Hexin prepared to return to her room for a bath, but Long Yin took out a set of poker cards and asked, “The night is still young. Anyone wants a game?”
He’an’s eyes brightened. Before Hexin could say anything, he immediately spoke up, “I do. Stay and play a game with us, Big Sis.”
Qi Heng looked at her as well. “It’s no fun with only three of us. You won’t be able to sleep if you return to your room so early, anyway, Lady Hexin.”
“Alright.” Hexin was about to go back to her seat when Long Yin stood up and said, “It’s a little cold here. Let’s play in my room. It’s warmer there.” Long Yin suggestea.
Qi Heng and He’an did not object to this. Hexin had some doubts about this, but agreed as well.
After that, all of them went to Long Yin’s room.
When they were outside of the room, Hexin wanted to get Yuan You over, but she remembered that Yuan You wanted to avoid Qi Heng, to the extent that she even had dinner in the room on her own. If Hexin invited her, she would not want to join. So, Hexin let it be.
After everyone sat down in Long Yin’s room, Qi Heng suddenly brought out a vat of wine.
“It’s no fun to be playing the game just like that. Why don’t we bet on the game?”
“Big Bro Qi Heng, what do you want to bet with?” He’an asked with slight excitement.
“Nothing much. How about the loser takes a drink?” Qi Heng said with a chuckle.
There was a look in Long Yin’s eyes when he heard this.
“That sounds good.” He’an agreed.
Hexin frowned. “You’re still too young to drink. You’re not allowed to have any!”
The look on He’an’s face fell. “Can you not be a party pooper, Big Sis?”
“I…” Hexin choked. She was about to berate him further when He’an said with a
smile, “You can hold your liquor well, Big Sis. Just help me take the drink when I lose.”
Before Long Yin could say anything, Qi Heng said, “That’s a good idea. It’s all set then..”
