Chu Lian really wanted to reply, "I don't want to see you at all. It's best if you don't appear in front of me. I have no interest in you at all!"

But Chu Lian could not say that. She whispered into Xiyan's ear, "Help me stop him."

Xiyan was quick-witted and immediately shielded Chu Lian behind her. She mustered up her courage and said to Xiao Bojian, "Young Master Xiao, please leave. Our grandmother doesn't want to see you. If you continue to be so aggressive, this servant … this servant will be called a guard!"

Xiao Bojian ignored Xiyan's words and glared at Chu Lian, who was hiding behind Xiyan. He pressed on, and very quickly, the two of them were forced to a corner of the pavilion. Behind them was a patch of flowers and trees. It looked like they could not even escape at the last minute.

"Lian 'er, tell me yourself that you really don't want to see me?

Have you forgotten our agreement? "Xiao Bojian's eyes were red, and he seemed to be in great pain.

Chu Lian had been observing Xiao Bojian from behind Xiyan. Seeing that his emotions were getting worse, she furrowed her brows.

Xiao Bojian was only a student of the old Duke of England. He was born into poverty and was 20 years old. Last year, he took the Autumn Examinations as Master Top Scorer of Jiaqing Prefecture. Now, he was living in the Duke's Mansion, waiting for this year's examinations.

Chu Lian knew that once this year's court examinations were over, Xiao Bojian would be able to pass the Three Elemental Examinations and shine in Shengjing. At that time, the original female lead would begin to 'hook up' with Xiao Bojian.

Although Xiao Bojian was handsome and full of potential, Chu Lian did not like him. If she could choose, she would rather choose He Changdi. At least He Changdi was kind and had a good and evil personality.

Sometimes, people with no bottom line were the scariest. Without a doubt, Xiao Bojian was such a person.

Blindly hiding like this wasn't a solution. It was obvious that Xiao Bojian was in a state of losing control. Chu Lian swallowed her saliva and mustered up the courage to raise her head. She met Xiao Bojian's red peach blossom eyes.

"Xiao Bojian, no matter what happened between us in the past, since I'm already married, let's forget about what happened in the past.

You go your own way, and I'll go mine. "Chu Lian said resolutely.

His tightly clenched fists were drenched in sweat from nervousness.

Xiao Bojian had never expected that after such a long wait, he would receive such heartless words from Chu Lian. His eyes widened and he suddenly took another step forward.

"Lian 'er, you're joking with me, right? That's not what we said before you got married. You said that even if you married He Changdi, you would find a way to leave him!

And you said I'm the only one in your heart! "

The more Xiao Bojian spoke, the more his body trembled.

The little girl in front of him had a beautiful and delicate appearance, like a blooming peony, noble and beautiful, and emitted a faint fragrance, causing him to wish for nothing more than to embrace her in his arms and protect her properly, so that she wouldn't suffer any more grievances.

In the past, he accompanied this flower as it grew, fertilized it, and watched it grow and slowly bloom.

But now, it had erected all the thorns on its body, stabbing him black and blue all over.

Chu Lian originally just wanted to make it clear to Xiao Bojian that no matter how much Chu Lian liked her in the past, it had nothing to do with her now.

Unexpectedly, she expressed her meaning clearly. Xiao Bojian listened to her words and was a little out of control.

This was not a good sign.

Chu Lian felt helpless. Why was it that this place was no different from what was written in the novel, but Xiao Bojian and He Sanlang's personalities had changed?

He Sanlang was moody and this Xiao Bojian in front of her couldn't take any provocation. How could she have a good time?

She didn't ask for much. She just wanted him to live a peaceful and happy life as a rice worm. She didn't want to cause any trouble at all.

"Xiao Bojian, we should all calm down. Some things can't be forced."

Chu Lian really had no other way. This place was quiet and it was the day she returned to her home. The maidservants in the inner courtyard had all gone to help, so there wasn't even a shadow to be found.

If Xiao Bojian lost control of his emotions and wanted to do something, then she would be the one to suffer!

Xiyan, a little girl, couldn't stop him at all.

The burning gaze that was staring at Chu Lian instantly turned cold. Xiao Bojian seemed to be unable to endure it any longer. He pulled Xiyan away and reached out to grab Chu Lian. After all, Chu Lian had already changed people. It was impossible for her to not be on guard against the current Xiao Bojian. Taking advantage of the moment he pulled Xiyan away, she nimbly dodged to the side.

Chu Lian quickened her steps and pulled away from Xiao Bojian.

The two of them faced each other in the pavilion.

He Changdi, who was standing behind a tree not too far away, saw the movements of the two of them. Although he could see Chu Lian and Xiao Bojian's movements from where he was standing, he couldn't hear the two of them talking.

But in his eyes, it was Chu Lian who deliberately found an excuse to rest by the pavilion in the Harmony Garden. Rong Da Sao left with her maidservants and mama. Not long after Rong Da Sao left, Xiao Bojian came out from the shadows to meet that poisonous woman.

This was what that poisonous woman had personally told him before he died in his past life. He had thought that all of this was deliberately said by that poisonous woman to anger him to death. He never thought that all of this was actually true!

Chu Lian!

You're a little too bold!

You actually dared to take advantage of this opportunity to meet your lover!

Even if they were only in name now, Duke Jing 'an's estate's reputation couldn't be insulted like this!

He Sanlang felt like he was being cuckolded. Then, he saw Xiao Bojian slowly approaching Chu Lian and pulling Xiyan to the side. At this moment, He Changdi couldn't hold it in any longer. He came out from the shadows with a dark expression on his face and strode towards this pair of "adulterers and mistresses". Today, he was going to expose them!

He Sanlang's footsteps were heavy and hurried. Chu Lian turned her head slightly and saw He Changdi walking towards them. Her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally relaxed at this moment.

It was good that He Changdi was here. She didn't have to worry about being bullied by Xiao Bojian or being misunderstood by others.

Because she had relaxed, the worry on Chu Lian's face also disappeared. She turned around, lifted the hem of her dress, and ran in He Sanlang's direction.

He Sanlang's gloomy face unexpectedly met Chu Lian's. The woman who was running towards him was wearing a complicated and gorgeous pink dress. The hem of the dress was layered, and when she ran towards him, the hem of the dress was lifted by the wind. She was so beautiful that she looked like a butterfly flying through flowers.

She had a carefree smile on her face, as if she only had eyes for him at this moment.

He Sanlang's gaze froze.

Before he could react, Chu Lian had already run to his side and intimately held his arm. She coquettishly called out "husband" in a voice that gave him goosebumps.

He Sanlang's entire body stiffened from Chu Lian's touch.

Wait, why did he feel like something was wrong?

H-wasn't he here to catch them in the act?

Why did things turn out like this?
