Chapter 116 Delaying to Win Back His Wife
Chapter 116 Delaying to Win Back His Wife
Just as Qiu Ziyue spurred her horse toward the Valley of Passion, two figures hurriedly followed, only to find that Qiu Ziyue had vanished in the dust.
"Young master, what should we do? Miss Qiu and the others may have already gone far away."
"Pursue them, send a signal to Liu Qingluo, and buy her time."
"Yes".
The visitor was none other than Qi Yuxuan.
After leaving home, Qi Yuxuan traveled for a few days. He thought about it and missed Qiu Ziyue very much. He kept muttering, "That she-devil, without you, life is really boring."
He relentlessly pursued Qiu Ziyue's route by sending messages via carrier pigeon through Liu Qingluo, but upon reaching this point, Qiu Ziyue escaped again.
"Chase!" Qi Yuxuan said again, and the horse neighed and galloped forward.
Yun Feiyang muttered from behind, "Valley Master, you're so eager to win back your wife, are you really that impatient?"
"Enough with the nonsense, Feiyang. You'll understand once you have a wife," Qi Yuxuan said.
"Huh? Aren't we not married yet?" Yun Feiyang asked, cracking his whip as he rode his horse.
As the sun sets deep in the forest, golden sunlight filters through the dense foliage, casting its glow on the winding path.
Qiu Ziyue walked at the front, her steps light yet firm.
Her heart was filled with longing for the future and memories of the past, but she knew that the most important thing now was to reach her destination as soon as possible—the Valley of Passion.
Liu Qingluo followed closely behind, her eyes filled with a complex expression.
She kept looking back, as if waiting for something.
Qi Yuxuan, who was far behind, quickened his pace, but every time he got close, he found that the road ahead was becoming more and more difficult to walk.
The thorns and weeds in the woods seemed to be deliberately blocking his way, forcing him to slow down.
Seeing this, Liu Qingluo secretly felt smug.
She deliberately slowed her pace, stopping every now and then to fix her hair or adjust her gear.
She would say she was thirsty and wanted to drink water, or that she was tired and wanted to rest, or that she was hungry and wanted to eat something.
She knew that doing this would buy Qi Yuxuan more time, giving him a chance to catch up with Qiu Ziyue.
"Sister Ziyue, wait for me!" Liu Qingluo shouted, her voice filled with urgency.
Qiu Ziyue stopped and looked back at Liu Qingluo, frowning. "Qingluo, what's wrong? Why are you walking so slowly?"
Liu Qingluo smiled slightly, pretending to be tired: "Ziyue, I'm a little tired. You go first, I'll follow."
Although Qiu Ziyue was a little confused, she nodded and said, "Okay, be careful and don't fall behind."
After saying that, Qiu Ziyue continued walking forward, but her pace noticeably slowed down.
She had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.
Just then, Qi Yuxuan finally saw the two people in front of him.
He quickened his pace, a surge of excitement welling up inside him.
He knew that if he went just a little further, he could catch up with Qiu Ziyue.
"Zi Yue!" Qi Yuxuan shouted, his voice echoing through the forest.
Upon hearing the sound, Qiu Ziyue immediately stopped and turned to look in the direction from which it came.
She saw Qi Yuxuan's figure moving through the woods, and her heart was filled with complex emotions.
"Why are you here?" Qiu Ziyue asked with a hint of reproach in her voice.
Qi Yuxuan, panting heavily, walked up to Qiu Ziyue and said with a firm gaze, "Ziyue, I know you have your own choices, but I can't let you go alone. Please let me go to the Valley of Passion with you."
Qiu Ziyue's heart skipped a beat, but she still shook her head: "Young Master Qi, I have made up my mind. I want to go back to a simple and free life. You don't need to come with me."
Liu Qingluo caught up at this moment. She looked at Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Ziyue and smiled slightly: "Sister Ziyue, would you please listen to Young Master Qi's explanation?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue felt a surge of turmoil within her.
Qi Yuxuan rode forward a step and said gently, "Ziyue, Yushuang and I have broken up. I've explained it to him."
Qiu Ziyue rolled her eyes at Qi Yuxuan and said, "What does it have to do with me who you break up with? I'm not anyone to you."
“Ziyue, you are my bet wife. I don’t agree to cancel it. You are still my fiancée. Please don’t ignore me,” Qi Yuxuan said.
"Hey Qi, you big ice block, have you taken some kind of medicine? Who taught you to say such cheesy things? You've never said anything like this before. Are you poisoned and looking for me to find the antidote?"
"Yes, you poisoned me. I'm poisoned. You're everywhere I go. You have to cure me."
"You, do you have no shame?" Qiu Ziyue rolled her eyes.
"Qi, you big ice block, are you Lu Yuanchangming in disguise? Why do you all talk in the same tone?" Qiu Ziyue asked again.
"So you really have fallen for Lu Yuanchangming. You really change your mind faster than the weather."
"What do I mean? So what if I like Lu Yuanchangming? Who told you to stab me with a knife, choke me, and yell at me like that?"
The two talked as they walked forward.
The three senior brothers were unwilling and rode forward.
Qiu Langyu said, "Young Master Qi, as long as you're around, Junior Sister will never have a good time. Please stop bothering her."
“You’re always making your junior sister sad, don’t follow me,” Qiu Wenfeng said.
"We firmly disagree with your pursuit of your junior sister," Qiu Wentian stated.
Liu Qingluo, Liu Xu, and Yun Feiyang chuckled behind them.
"By the way, why didn't Young Master Lu come with you?" Yun Feiyang asked.
“Young Master Lu is handling official business for Prince Jin and will not be able to return for the time being,” Liu Qingluo replied.
“That’s fine too,” Yun Feiyang said, glancing ahead.
This suggests that Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan can communicate more.
After spending time together, Yun Feiyang and Liu Qingluo gradually accepted Qiu Ziyue.
They discovered that Qiu Ziyue was not like the person they initially thought she was.
They all witnessed Qiu Ziyue's goodness, and even began to regret that Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Ziyue had separated.
Qiu Ziyue, Qi Yuxuan, and their group traversed the dense forest and finally arrived at a small market.
The market was bustling with activity, vendors hawking all sorts of goods, and the air was filled with the enticing aroma of food.
Qiu Ziyue walked at the front, looking around with a relaxed smile on her face.
After days of running around, she could finally relax a little.
"It looks lively here, let's find a place to eat," Qiu Ziyue suggested.
Everyone agreed, and they walked along the street for a while until they found a small, clean-looking restaurant. A sign that read "Delicious Pavilion" hung at the entrance, and several pots of blooming flowers were placed in front of the door, making it look particularly cozy.
They entered the restaurant and found a seat by the window. The waiter quickly approached, handed them a menu, and asked warmly, "What would you three gentlemen like to order?"
Qiu Ziyue took the menu, looked at it carefully, and then looked up at the waiter and said, "Bring a few of our signature dishes and a pot of good wine."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuxuan immediately frowned and muttered, "Ziyue, are you here to order food?"
Qiu Ziyue looked at him with some confusion: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Qi Yuxuan said, "Have you forgotten what you promised me?"
"What?" Qiu Ziyue asked.
