Hearing his obnoxious words made Wei Qingge feel even worse, and she pushed him away in anger.
Thinking that all the troubles she had encountered were because she had come to deliver a letter for him, she couldn't help but vent her frustration on him.
"This is all your fault. If you had sent someone to pick me up, I wouldn't have been targeted by that pervert. If you can't find him, I'll go ask the Prince myself and have him send the Blood Corpse people to investigate."
"If the Prince doesn't help me, I'll ask A Luan. The Prince will definitely listen to A Luan."
"I must catch this lunatic and kill him with my own hands."
Li Qiongyu raised an eyebrow, "Mm-hmm, we must catch him."
His voice was light and faint, his eyes hidden in the darkness of the room, wicked.
Wei Qingge didn't notice his expression change at all. After venting, she cried weakly.
"Li Qiongyu, won't you help me? I know your businesses are spread across the Nine Prefectures, and you have hidden chambers everywhere to gather intelligence. If you want to find someone, you definitely can. Please help me."
Her intermittent cries were heartbreaking.
He gently stroked her hair, his voice soft.
"Of course, I'll help you."
The room was silent, shrouded in darkness.
Wei Qingge finally cried herself out and stopped.
Her eye circles were swollen and red, and her throat was hoarse. Her voice hurt when she spoke.
Seeing this, Li Qiongyu ordered someone to brew almond tea and brought ice for her to apply.
He lowered his gaze and gently applied the ice to her eyes, his expression no longer the usual mischievous teasing, but rather quite serious.
The air suddenly became still.
At first, Wei Qingge didn't feel anything, but gradually, she became uncomfortable all over.
Ever since she had known him, they had only bickered and argued. They had never been this close before.
It felt strange!
She quickly pushed him away and snatched the cloth wrapped around the ice, applying it to her eyes.
'You don't need to do it. I can do it myself.'
"Why would I care about you? I'm only doing this because I pity you, and I'm too lazy to serve you."
This tone was more like him.
Wei Qingge ignored the strangeness in her heart and glared at him.
"You're inhumane."
Li Qiongyu deliberately teased her, "Is this your first day knowing me? When have I ever been humane?"
Annoying!
Wei Qingge gritted her teeth and applied the ice to her eyes. The coolness felt much better.
If it weren't for what happened last night, she would have happily gone shopping with Mu Rou and the others, enjoyed her time in Northern Qi, and returned with them.
But now, after such a disgusting experience, she had no mood to play.
She felt miserable.
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. For a moment, she got stuck in a negative loop, thinking about being drugged and toyed with for half a year. It was truly disgusting.
What kind of lunatic was it that abducted her and returned her without anyone noticing? It was too terrifying.
"Li Qiongyu, send more hidden guards to follow me. I'm really afraid that psycho will come back."
Li Qiongyu stood by the window, looking at the night view outside. Hearing her words, he turned back.
The wind blew through his dark hair, his eyebrows slanted upwards, full of spirit, with a hint of妖冶 in his eyes.
The lights outside the corridor illuminated his exceptionally handsome face, making him look unrestrained and flamboyant.
"Okay."
Just then, a guard's voice was heard from outside.
"Young Master, the tea is here."
Li Qiongyu walked out and brought the tray in, placing it on the table.
"Drink this to moisten your throat, and we'll buy medicine tomorrow."
Wei Qingge nodded. After drinking, she felt a bit sleepy. She looked in the bronze mirror at her red eye circles and pouted in anger.
"I'm going to sleep. You can leave."
Li Qiongyu said nothing and was about to leave when he saw her follow him out.
"Where are you going?"
Wei Qingge impatiently pushed him, 'It's none of your business.'
"Still want to be abducted?"
Who would want that? Every time she fell asleep, she would dream of last night's events. She was too scared to sleep alone.
But she had always been used to acting tough in front of him, and she was too embarrassed to say it, so she spoke fiercely.
"It's none of your business. Get out of the way."
Li Qiongyu leaned against the doorframe and scoffed, "You can't sleep, can you? You want to go find Ye Luan to sleep with, don't you?"
Seeing his irritating expression, Wei Qingge's cheeks puffed up in anger, and she kicked him hard.
"Ouch, my dear miss."
"You deserve it. It's all your fault."
If her father hadn't insisted she deliver the letter, she wouldn't have been abducted by that pervert.
"Alright, alright, it's all my fault." Li Qiongyu spread his hands. "They've already gone to bed. Don't disturb them. Go in and sleep. I'll guard outside."
After he spoke, Wei Qingge glanced at the room where the candles had already been extinguished, and sighed.
"Okay then. Aren't you sleeping?"
Seeing her look at him, Li Qiongyu said, "Why don't you let me make do with the couch outside for the night?"
Without any hesitation, Wei Qingge waved her hand, "Fine, you can come in."
They had known each other for so many years, they were like siblings. She had no defenses against him.
This scoundrel Li Qiongyu didn't like her either. He used to give her terrible advice to pursue Big Brother Liu, making her lose face countless times.
Thinking of his past behavior and how he deliberately made her look foolish, she glared at him and walked back.
After they entered the room, Wei Qingge returned to her bed.
She looked back and saw Li Qiongyu's tall body curled up on the couch, unable to stretch out at all.
He seemed very uncomfortable, so he simply stopped trying to curl up. He swung his legs outwards and lazily turned over.
Seeing his posture, Wei Qingge pouted. She grabbed a quilt from the bed and walked over, throwing it onto him. 'Here.'
Li Qiongyu lazily opened his eyes and said in an annoying tone, "You're not entirely heartless."
"Can you stop being so slovenly? Hurry up and find that pervert for me. I've been so humiliated, and you're still acting like this. Are you even my friend?"
Hearing her accusations, Li Qiongyu propped his head up with one hand and looked at her.
"I'm looking, I'll definitely find him. It's just that the clues you've provided are too few, so it'll take time to find him."
"Lately, I've been too busy with sending Ye Luan back to Da Liang. I have to deal with things one by one."
"Besides, think about it. If we can't leave Northern Qi, we'll definitely be killed."
Be killed?!
Wei Qingge shivered. Although she had practiced martial arts since she was young and followed her father and grandfather to the border, it was all just small skirmishes in military camps, never real battles.
Northern Qi and Da Liang had been at war for a long time. If they were stranded in Northern Qi, they might be captured as prisoners, or even used to threaten her father.
Thinking of this, she ducked her head and stubbornly retorted, "Then hurry up."
After saying that, she returned to her bed to sleep.
With a familiar person nearby, she was no longer so scared and soon fell asleep.
Hearing her faint breathing, Li Qiongyu slowly opened his eyes and sat up. He leaned lazily against the edge of the couch, looking at the sleeping person on the bed.
She's always been so easy to fool?!
He let out a low laugh, watched her for a while, then leaned back and closed his eyes to sleep.
