Chapter 339 - Gay? (2)

Fortunately, she was very familiar with the layout of the marquis's estate. She chose the shortest route, so it didn't take long before they arrived at Ning Yuxuan's room. The lights inside the room were clearly still lit, and the doors weren't even fully shut. They could see from the outside that Ning Yuxuan and Qian Yingchen were playing chess and chatting.

Tapping a chess piece, Qian Yingchen said, ”Once a pathway is opened for Zhangjun, many things will become easier. Originally, this would have been an unmentionable topic. It's unexpected that new emperor would agree to it.”

Marquis Moyu pursed his lips and said, ”That was also outside of my expectations as well. Someone had already suggested this idea earlier, but I thought it wasn't doable, so I dismissed it. I didn't think it thoroughly enough.”

Ji Man was slightly stunned as she listened to their conversation, but Zhu Yurun had already lightly pushed the doorframe to get a better view. Her eager eyes were practically falling out. She let out a sound as if she had suffered a critical hit after squeezing Ji Man to the side to get a better view.

The corners of Ji Man's lips twitched. Before the people inside the room came out to check on the noise, she haplessly scrambled into the room. Half-kneeling, she said, ”Marquis, this one has something to report.”

With his eyebrows furrowed, Ning Yuxuan glanced at her. ”It's so late. Why did you come here?”

Qian Yingchen also looked over in Ji Man's direction with a confused expression.

Ji Man could still hear Miss Zhu's loud breathing, so she hurriedly said, ”Marquis, please follow this one. It's something urgent. Really urgent!”

Worried by her nervous tone, Marquis Moyu stood up and pulled her up by the arm as he strode out of the room. ”Yinghen, wait here for a bit.”

Qian Yingchen was smiling as he a.s.sented, ”Sure.” As he watched Ji Man staggering along from being pulled out of the room by Ning Yuxuan, there was a hint of amus.e.m.e.nt in his eyes.

However, soon after, his smile disappeared. Shortly after Marquis Moyu and Ji Man left, a blur rushed into the room and excitedly grabbed onto him by the lapels of his robe and shook him. ”Sir, I finally found you!”

After getting a clear look of that person's face, Qian Yingchen's face turned red, then white before settling on a greenish color. ”You...”

”It's me, it's me, it's me!” Zhu Yurun happily exclaimed, ”I'm the person that you had a physical relations.h.i.+p with, in that inn in Xu Province. I'm so happy that you still remember me!”

It really would be a difficult task to forget a woman like her. Qian Yingchen was choked off into silence by the shock of her appearance for a long time. Finally, he took in a fresh gulp of air. With an unpleasant expression, he said, ”Miss, is there a reason why you came looking for this one?”

In another area, Ning Yuxuan had brought Ji Man near the garden. With his brows furrowed, he asked, ”What exactly is wrong?”

Even after Ji Man had thought for a long time, she still couldn't figure out a sufficient excuse to say. She could only pull on his hand and somewhat stiffly say, ”The moonlight looks very good tonight.  I wanted to take a stroll outside with my lord...”

Ning Yuxuan was a bit sluggish in responding. Soon after recovering, he snorted.
