Chapter 158 Lu Yan: Am I an Incomplete Man?

Shen Qing turned around and saw Qi Suining looking at him with a gloomy face not far away. The complexity in his eyes could not be concealed, jealousy, resentment, and sympathy intertwined.

Shen Qing was puzzled: jealousy and resentment were understandable, after all, Qi Suining had been interested in Lu Yan for a long time, but what about sympathy?

The four looked at each other for a moment, Qi Suining looked away and turned away.

Shen Qing's eyes moved slightly, and he retracted his gaze, and then he heard Lu Yan's voice in his ears: "What's wrong?"

Leaving the crowd, Shen Qing responded: "Qi Suining has been looking at us just now."

Lu Yan frowned, obviously very disgusted with this name, "Let's stay away from her."

On the lake, a gorgeously decorated pleasure boat slowly approached. When the pleasure boat was closer, everyone saw Qi Yichuan and Xie Zhaohua on the deck.

Qi Yichuan had a resolute face, but there was an unconcealable tenderness between his eyebrows. Xie Zhaohua smiled, but the smile never reached his eyes.

The pleasure boat docked, and Qi Yichuan got off first. After getting off the boat, he did not leave, but stood aside. After Xie Zhaohua got off the boat safely, he walked towards the crowd with her.

Details are all about care.

Qi Yichuan smiled at everyone, exchanged a few words, and saw Lu Yan and Shen Qing in the corner. A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he walked towards the two.

"Lu Shizi, Miss Shen."

Lu Yan glanced at the pleasure boat in front of him, "General Qi has made sufficient preparations today."

Qi Yichuan smiled, "Lu Shizi, thank you for the compliment."

Shen Qing looked at Xie Zhaohua, who had been standing dignified and silent since he greeted Qi Yichuan, and always felt that she was less lively than before.

Although Xie Zhaohua used to be a little bit willful and capricious, her face always had a dazzling light, but now, she is like a canary trapped in a cage.

Qi Yichuan and Lu Yan were not familiar with each other, so they just exchanged a few simple greetings, and Qi Yichuan took Xie Zhaohua away to greet everyone to board the boat.

The pleasure boat prepared by Qi Yichuan was very large. Even though the boat had already accommodated hundreds of people at this moment, it was not crowded at all.

Inside the cabin, there were tea rooms, chess rooms, and lounges. Lu Yan found a small room by the window, ready to drink tea with Shen Qing while enjoying the scenery, and cultivate their relationship.

However, as soon as the two sat down, they saw Qi Suining following in from behind.

He subconsciously glanced at Lu Yan, and Qi Suining said to Shen Qing: "Shen Qing, I have something to tell you."

Shen Qing did not stand up, but just hummed lightly, "Go ahead."

Qi Suining said nothing, but looked at Lu Yan on the side again, obviously wanting him to go out.

Shen Qing refused directly, "Lu Shizi is my fiancé, and he will listen to whatever Miss Qi wants to say to me."

Qi Suining pursed her lips, and finally chose to compromise. She sat down on the chair in front of the two and asked, "Is your marriage granted by His Majesty, or did you ask for it?"

Lu Yan poured a cup of tea for Shen Qing slowly, and replied, "I asked for it on my own initiative. What's wrong?"

Getting the answer she didn't want to hear the most, Qi Suining clenched her fingers in her sleeves, "Why? How am I not as good as Shen Qing?"

Before learning that Lu Yan was not good enough, Qi Suining went to Jing'an Palace several times. Last time, when Jiang Li was coming of age, she expressed her feelings to Lu Yan in front of many people. She used both soft and hard methods, but she couldn't move Lu Yan at all.

And Qi Suining thought that she was better than Shen Qing in everything, whether in appearance or family background. Most importantly, she was still unmarried, so she didn't understand what Lu Yan saw in Shen Qing?

Lu Yan didn't even raise his head, "No reason, I like her, not you, this is the reason."

Qi Suining really couldn't understand, "Don't you mind that Shen Qing is already a fallen woman and has had physical contact with others?"

Shen Qing clarified for herself, "Excuse me, Miss Qi, although I have been married, I am still a virgin."

Qi Suining was completely shocked and subconsciously said, "Could it be that Mu Ziqian is not okay?"

The word "also" is very well used.

Seeing Lu Yan handing another piece of cake to Shen Qing, Qi Suining's resentment in his eyes was about to be suppressed. Suddenly, Qi Suining sneered, "Miss Shen, speaking of it, I sympathize with you. The first man you married was a scum who favored his concubine and killed his wife. It was not easy to divorce, and the second one you married was an incomplete man. You are so pitiful."

Hearing this, Lu Yan raised his eyelids. An incomplete man, him?

Lu Yan was not annoyed when his dignity as a man was challenged. He just listened quietly and waited for Shen Qing to speak for him.

Shen Qing's eyes were slightly cold, "Miss Qi, you'd better be careful with your words."

After saying that, before Qi Suining could speak, Shen Qing continued, "Speaking of sympathy, I actually sympathize with Miss Qi. She is the only legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Pingxi Mansion, but she can only be a concubine. I don't know how long Miss Qi can last in the deep mansion with her character."

The Qi family is powerful, and it is an indisputable fact that they will marry into the royal family. Qi Yichuan has already arranged a marriage with Xie Zhaohua, so only Qi Suining is left.

There are only three adult princes in the royal family now. The prince married Jiang Li last month, and the position of the principal wife of Prince Duan has been decided to be given to Gu Tingyan. Although the fifth prince Chu Lingyuan has not yet arranged a marriage, the emperor will not allow the Qi family and the fifth prince to have too close a connection. Xie Zhaohua is about to marry into the Qi family, so Chu Lingyuan will not be able to marry a girl from the Qi family again, so Qi Suining's final destination is only the Prince's Mansion and the Prince Duan Mansion.

Hearing Shen Qing mention her marriage, Qi Suining's expression changed instantly. Just a few days ago, her father had just told her about this, and Qi Lie's favorite was the prince.

Qi Lie was loyal to the emperor, so he naturally hoped that Qi Suining could marry into the palace of the Chu prince. After all, the prince's concubine could become the head of the first palace in the future, but Prince Duan's concubine could only always be subordinate to others.

As for the thoughts of Prime Minister Gu and Marquis Wu Lie, Qi Lie naturally knew it, but Qi Lie felt that when it came to city government and means, these two people were no match for the emperor.

Therefore, as long as the prince does not make a big mistake, the future throne will definitely belong to him.

His face darkened, Qi Suining turned and left.

The moment he turned around, the corner of his mouth raised a strange arc.

When there were only two people left in the room, Lu Yan put away his indifferent expression and looked aggrieved, "Jiaojiao, did she just say that I can't do it?"

Shen Qing couldn't help but laughed out loud: "You didn't do it yourself."

Lu Yan secretly held her hand under the table and came close to Shen Qing's ear, "Jiaojiao, when the wedding day comes, I will prove it to you. All rumors are not credible."

The sudden color made Shen Qing's ears turn red. After a moment, he hesitated and said, "I remember Fuyi said before that you have been weak lately, so you need to pay extra attention."

Lu Yan: "..."

I laughed, after enough rumors were told, they actually became true!

As the boat continued to move along the East Lake, wisps of breeze blew by, bringing with it the faint fragrance of lotus, adding a bit of elegance to the originally warm atmosphere between the two.

After the pot of tea was finished, the boat had already circled most of the East Lake, and the group of people also swam from the east of the city to the south of the city. Shen Qing looked up and saw that the sky that was bright not long ago was gradually darkening, and the pleasant breeze that had just been there had also disappeared. It was much stronger than before, like a sign of imminent rain.

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from outside the house, "The boat is leaking, get on the deck!"
