Yun Qianyu glanced at him and said, “Confront a person with the danger of death and he will fight to live.”
Many that understand chess, fearing that they would be defeated in the next moment, would seldom make risky moves. However, sometimes great risk would also bring great reward.
Hearing Yun Qianyu’s explanation, Xiao Yechen exclaimed, “That simple? People should know about it.”
Yun Qianyu laughed and said, “Think about the name of the formation, Linglong Nine Misfortune Formation. There are nine misfortunes in the formation. It’s actually a game within a game.”
Shocked, Xiao Yechen’s eyes widened and he said, “So the player must go through nine risky moves in order to solve the puzzle?”
“Smart boy.”
Tilting his head, Xiao Yechen couldn’t help but look at Yun Qianyu with curiosity and say, “Feather, what’s in your head? How do you know so many strange things?”
Yun Qianyu rolled her eyes and smiled at him.
Yun Qianyu went into the private room with Xiao Yechen but Ye Jia did not join them. She could tell that Xiao Yechen had something important to say to Yun Qianyu. ‘This is probably for the best too. Just get it over with.’
Seeing the way Xiao Yechen treated Yun Qianyu, Ye Jia naturally did not want Yun Qianyu to lose a friend like him.
In the private room, as soon as Yun Qianyu and Xiao Yechen sat down, the waiter outside the door led two of his subordinates and brought in a lot of different signature snacks and tea.
The main waiter placed down the snacks and said to Yun Qianyu, “Miss Yun, our boss thanks you for your visit. These snacks and tea are our gesture of appreciation.”
Yun Qianyu replied casually, “Tell your boss that I’m grateful for his kindness.”
Xiao Yechen also chimed in, “You have a smart boss, go out and get your reward.”
“We thank your Highness An Prince.”
The waiters were ecstatic upon hearing this. It should be known that when a prince gave a reward, the reward was usually pretty good.
Sure enough, after the men went out, Xiao Yechen’s men rewarded them with fifty Liang of silver each. Receiving their reward, all the men went down with smiles on their faces.
Ignoring Xiao Yechen, Yun Qianyu immediately started to eat with chopsticks. However, with a veil covering her face, her eating seemed somewhat troublesome.
Seeing this, Xiao Yechen couldn’t help but speak out, “Why don’t you take down your veil, it seems so troublesome.”
Yun Qianyu was stunned for a moment, but she didn’t take off the veil on her face. Although she had fake scars on her face, sitting face to face like this, she was afraid Xiao Yechen might be able to tell that they were fake. Originally, Yun Qianyu didn’t mind if Xiao Yechen found out about her healed face, but now because of her cousin Ye Jia’s warning, she didn’t want Xiao Yechen to find out about it.
Since she had no feelings for him, she didn’t want anything to change. She was scared that her healed face might change things, and she didn’t want that. She just wanted Xiao Yechen to be her good friend.
“I don’t want to scare you.”
Yun Qianyu said while eating elegantly. The inconvenience did not take away from her elegance at all.
Hearing that, Xiao Yechen looked down at Yun Qianyu’s hands and said slowly “Feather, I’ll accept you however you are, forever.”
There was something different about his voice when he said that. It seemed lower and also seemed to be projecting his feelings.
Yun Qianyu was so stunned that she almost choked on the food in her mouth. Then out of nowhere, a pair of warm hands held onto her hands.
Xiao Yechen then said sincerely, “Feather, I like you. Do you have feelings for me too?”
