In the evening, the courtyard had already begun to turn yellow.
The rosy clouds gradually dimmed in color.
The surroundings began to be shrouded in darkness.
There were two red candles on the table.
The flames flickered in the breeze.
The surrounding scenery also became illusory with the light and shadow.
The red lanterns in the courtyard only covered the surroundings with a faint blush, but could not illuminate people's faces.
Li Xiao sat on one side of the stone table. Her face was as white as cream.
Her cheeks were pink.
Her lips were red.
He opened and closed his mouth, saying something.
Qiao Fang sat opposite her. His left hand was on the table.
Obviously, Li Xiao had just read his palm.
Three copper coins were scattered on the table.
It seemed to be indicating something.
But for people who didn't understand, they were just copper coins.
Li Xiao's phoenix eyes were looking at Qiao Fang. She was seriously telling him the divination.
Qiao Fang was wearing a dark gray suit.
His hair was tied simply on top of his head.
It showed that he was no longer a young scholar.
His back was as straight as a ramrod as he sat there.
His face was as white as jade.
He had long eyebrows and bright eyes. He was bright and handsome.
The two of them sat at the table.
They talked in a low voice.
They looked at each other.
The atmosphere was exceptionally quiet.
The trumpet flowers in the courtyard bloomed one by one.
They were beautiful and faintly beautiful.
Under the moonlight, they were a perfect match.
When Chen Jue stepped into the courtyard of Xiao Su Garden, he saw such a scene.
He stood at the edge of the courtyard and stopped to look at them. His hands were clenched into fists. His face was as cold as the winter snow.
A Liu and Wang Chao, who were standing behind him, were silent. They wanted to pretend to disappear.
They looked at Li Xiao with pity. Poor sister Li Xiao. How can you be so heartless?
Li Xiao had just finished speaking. After Qiao Fang asked her a question, she nodded seriously.
Her eyebrows were slightly raised. Her faint smile was also particularly attractive.
These few months were probably the time when the little girl's body was growing the fastest.
Now, her eyebrows had already grown. Her long eyebrows were like willow leaves, and her eyes were big and round. However, the ends of her eyes were slightly raised, giving her a seductive demonic aura.
Her long eyelashes were like two eyelids, deepening the contours of her eyes.
Her long and curly eyelashes made her eyes look even more adorable.
Her delicate nose made her face look delicate, adding a bit of the elegance of a young lady, adding vitality to her soft and charming face.
Her lips were moist and red. When she didn't speak, she would unconsciously pout slightly. When she spoke, she would occasionally reveal her cute little canine teeth, which would always make one's heart itch.
Today, she was wearing a light gray dress. Her long hair was combed into two buns by a maid, making her look exceptionally cute and lively.
This young girl who had just emerged from her beauty still had a hint of childishness. She was so delicate and cute that it made people unable to not palpitate.
Qiao Fang was like Chen Jue. He definitely saw every inch of the little girl's beauty.
When Li Xiao was seriously talking to him, he was looking at her without blinking. His eyes seemed to be glued to her face.
When Chen Jue walked forward, he could gradually see the side of Qiao Fang's face. He stared so intently at Li Xiao, his eyes filled with longing for the beauty of the young girl.
As Wang Chao and A Liu prayed, Li Xiao finally saw Chen Jue. She immediately put a smile on her face and stood up. She said in a crisp voice, "Daren."
Qiao Fang saw Li Xiao's face suddenly fill with a smile. Seeing Li Xiao stand up and reveal her canine teeth to Chen Jue, he became heartlessly happy.
These days, she always had a gloomy expression on her face. Even if Chen Jue repeatedly told her that perhaps her brother was not dead, she would still remain silent when things calmed down.
Only when she saw Chen Jue would she instinctively feel happy.
Qiao Fang looked at her and pursed his lips. Something in his heart became clearer.
He did not stand up. He sat in place and turned his head to look at Chen Jue.
Chen Jue stood a few steps away. He only nodded indifferently at Li Xiao. Then he looked unhappily at Qiao Fang.
His heart was burning. Not only because of Qiao Fang's greedy eyes, but also because Li Xiao did not refuse.
Li Xiao looked at Chen Jue and immediately sensed something. She stood there, awkwardly looking at Qiao Fang and then at Chen Jue. She realized that the current situation was not very good.
"Daren, Young Master Qiao came to find me for a divination. He —" Li Xiao was just about to explain the situation when Chen Jue interrupted her. He said stiffly to Wang Chao behind him, "Wang Chao, see the guest out!"
Wang Chao immediately took a few steps forward and walked towards Qiao Fang.
Qiao Fang looked at Chen Jue and laughed coldly. "Lord Chen is famous for not being hospitable."
"You are not hospitable. Forgive me for not seeing you out."
Chen Jue stood there with his hands behind his back. Suppressing his anger, he turned and shouted at Wang Chao, "Wang Chao!"
Wang Chao was standing two steps away from Qiao Fang. When he heard Chen Jue's angry shout, he hurriedly took a step closer to Qiao Fang. His face was fierce as he gripped the hilt of his sword.
Li Xiao opened her mouth in shock. She looked at Lord Chen in shock.
Then she looked awkwardly at Qiao Fang.
Qiao Fang looked at Wang Chao's sword. "Daren, do you dare to kill me?"
"It's not hard to get you out of here," Chen Jue said.
Qiao Fang ground his teeth and laughed bitterly.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He turned and smiled at Li Xiao. He pushed the Southern Pearl earrings in front of Li Xiao and said to Li Xiao, "When I get to the north and find something interesting, I'll write to you."
Li Xiao nodded hurriedly. She looked as if she was afraid that Chen Jue would kill Qiao Fang.
However, her eyes were fixed on Chen Jue. She was afraid that Chen Jue would suddenly explode.
Chen Jue was already very angry. When he saw Li Xiao and Qiao Fang sitting face to face, he wanted to kill them.
When he saw Li Xiao nodding heartlessly, he was so angry that the back of his neck went numb.
He clenched and unclenched his fists to suppress his anger.
After Wang Chao 'sent' Qiao Fang out of the courtyard, Chen Jue strode towards the small stone table.
He looked at the stone stool that Qiao Fang sat on and turned to look at A Liu.
Ah Liu seemed to have been enlightened. He instantly understood Daren's meaning. He took a big stride to Chen Daren's side. He bent down and used all his strength to lift the stone stool. His face was red as he tried to move it outside.
Chen Jue watched A Liu struggle to move the stone stool. His anger subsided a little. He walked to the stone stool next to Li Xiao and sat down.
Li Xiao was still looking at A Liu who had left the courtyard and put the stone stool on the ground. He was so tired that he was rubbing his back and wiping his sweat.
Her heart skipped a beat. She realized that Lord Chen seemed to be very, very unhappy.
Chen Jue glanced at the intricately carved wooden box on the table. He reached out and took it.
He opened the box and saw a bunch of earrings inside.
He was getting angrier. He closed the box and held it in his hand. He closed his eyes and tried to suppress his anger.
A Liu came back after moving the stool. He stood far away under the pillar and refused to come closer.
Chen Jue looked at him. He suddenly raised his hand and threw the wooden box in his hand.
A Liu hurriedly ran a few steps and caught it.
"Throw it away." Chen Jue said in a low voice.
Li Xiao's eyes widened.
That thing must be very expensive. It can be sold for a lot of money …
"Why?
You can't bear to part with it? "Chen Jue turned and asked coldly.
Li Xiao hurriedly shook his head and cleverly said, "No need."
Chen Jue snorted. After A Liu ran away, he pressed his hand on the stone table and suppressed his anger. He didn't speak or move for half an hour. He didn't even look at Li Xiao.
Xiao Xiao was so scared that she didn't dare to breathe. Her butt was numb and she didn't dare to move.
After Ah Liu threw away the wooden box, he didn't come back. At this moment, the clever little boy was guarding the entrance of Xiao Su Garden. His heart was firm. As long as Lord Chen didn't call him, he definitely wouldn't go in.
Half an hour later, Chen Jue turned to look at the little girl.
When he saw her sitting upright and looking at him, his heart softened a little.
But when he thought about how she was unguarded and being looked at by a man like that, he didn't feel that anything was wrong. She was such a big girl, but she didn't have any awareness of this.
He felt unhappy when he thought about it.
He didn't know where Momo Zhang went. Did he ask her to come here for nothing?
Wasn't it just to teach Li Xiao to be sensible, to know the difference between men and women, to know that she was going to get married in the future, and to know that she was a big girl …
He took a deep breath and pointed at the table. "Come here."
Li Xiao blinked and pursed her lips. She got off the stool and touched the stone table with her hand. She slowly walked to Chen Jue and stopped an arm's length away.
Chen Jue looked at her hand on the table and said indifferently, "Give me a kiss."
Li Xiao felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She was stunned.
She was speechless for a long time. Did she hear wrong?
"Ah?" She raised her eyebrows in uncertainty and looked at Chen Jue with wide eyes.
"Didn't you hear me clearly?" Chen Jue tilted his head and looked at her. His eyes were indifferent, his expression was indifferent, and his voice was indifferent.
But the words that came out of his mouth …
"Lord … Lord?" Li Xiao opened her mouth slightly and still couldn't believe it.
"No?" Chen Jue looked at her coldly.
Li Xiao smacked her lips and said timidly, "No … No … Ah …"
"Then why did you agree to Qiao Fang?" Chen Jue asked angrily.
Li Xiao was stunned by the question. What?
"I didn't!" She reacted and immediately blushed. She raised her eyebrows and defended herself.
"No?" Chen Jue looked at her with an expression that said, "Yes, you did."
"He just wanted to do a divination!" Li Xiao frowned and pouted. She looked at Chen Jue unhappily and aggrievedly.
"What's the difference between that and a kiss?" Chen Jue's eyes were particularly fierce as he spoke matter-of-factly.
"Ah …" Li Xiao was a little confused. "No … It's not the same!"
"What's the difference?" Chen Jue asked.
"Of course it's different!" Li Xiao bit her lower lip. She was about to cry because of Lord Chen.
"There's no difference!" Chen Jue stared at her harshly.
"…" Li Xiao was so angry that her chest heaved up and down, as if she was about to cry in the next second.
"You're not allowed to do divination for anyone in the future!" Chen Jue tapped the stone table with his finger and was about to end the line. He didn't want to scare her anymore and wanted to educate her properly.
“？？？！！！”
Li Xiao widened her eyes in disbelief. She had always been asked to do divination before. Didn't many clues come from divination when solving cases?
Why was he not allowed to do it now?
"Only if I agree!" Chen Jue's voice was heavy and contained a hint of threat.
"…" Li Xiao's lips were pursed. She was obviously holding her breath. She looked at Chen Jue with watery eyes as if she was condemning him for being a bully.
Although Chen Jue's mental fortitude was exceptionally good, at this moment, he wondered if he was being too fierce.
However, if he didn't scare her like this, how could he make her realize that 'casually performing divination for men, letting men into her courtyard, and talking to men' was almost the same as' casually kissing others'?
It was something that shouldn't be done.
"You know that you shouldn't kiss others casually, but you have to remember that you shouldn't casually perform divination for people either —" Chen Jue tapped his finger on the table and turned to look at his finger. His face was cold as he lectured her.
However, before he could finish his sentence, Li Xiao suddenly took a step forward.
He turned to look at her and instinctively wanted to see what she was going to do.
As a result, the little girl's face suddenly came close to his — "Kiss!"
It was a real kiss. She kissed Chen Jue hard on the lips. Because she was in a hurry, her nose bumped into Lord Chen's nose, and it was very sore.
She didn't care about the sore nose. She turned around and ran towards her room —
