Chapter 723 [Under the Brocade 19]
The next morning, the sun shone through the mottled leaves in the courtyard. Lu Yi had already ordered his servants to prepare exquisite tea sets and fine tea leaves, and invited Shangguan Xi to come and taste tea together. When Shangguan Xi arrived, Lu Yi smiled and motioned her to sit down, and personally poured her a cup of fragrant tea.
As Shangguan Xi took a sip of tea, Lu Yi slowly took out a brocade box from his sleeve and gently placed it on the table. He opened the box, and inside lay several dazzling jewels. Lu Yi looked at Shangguan Xi sharply and said straight to the point: "Miss Shangguan, these jewels were found at the crime scene. I wonder if they belong to you?"
Shangguan Xi was slightly startled, but quickly regained her composure, pretending to be ignorant, and said softly: "My Lord, you are joking. I don't quite understand what you mean."
Seeing this, Youyou stepped forward, pointed at the jewels and said, "Ms. Shangguan, according to our investigation, it seems that these jewels are only owned by you. Moreover, they were found at the scene of the crime. I don't need to explain the connection between them."
Shangguan Xi remained calm and replied, "Oh? Is that true? But I own so many jewels that it's hard for me to remember where each one went. Maybe it's not mine."
Lu Yi smiled slightly and followed her words and said, "Since Miss Shangguan insists that these jewels have nothing to do with you, let's just take it as such for now."
Shangguan Xi stood up and saluted, saying, "Thank you for your understanding. In this case, I am busy with the affairs of the gang and need to go back to deal with them. I will say goodbye and will not bother you anymore."
Lu Yi also stood up and bowed to see her off: "Then Miss Shangguan, take care."
When Shangguan Xi disappeared at the door, Youyou looked at Lu Yi curiously and asked, "Sir, are you letting her go so easily? Are you planning to play the long game and catch a bigger fish?"
Lu Yi nodded approvingly and responded, "Youyou still understands me. These jewels alone are indeed not enough to convict Shangguan Xi. If we want to find out the truth thoroughly, we need more evidence and clues."
"You are really shrewd!" Youyou couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Her beautiful eyes stared at Lu Yi, mixed with a hint of admiration and amazement.
Hearing this, Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "I'm old?" As he spoke, he slowly approached Youyou, and every step carried an invisible sense of oppression.
Seeing Lu Yi gradually approaching her, You You was startled and quickly waved her hands to explain: "No, no, Lord Lu, you must have heard it wrong! It was definitely not me who said it!" However, her panicked expression and flickering eyes betrayed her true thoughts.
Lu Yi's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile. He suddenly stretched out his hand and took Youyou into his arms, hugging her tightly. Feeling Lu Yi's strong embrace, Youyou's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and her breathing became rapid.
Lu Yi lowered his head, leaned close to Youyou's ear and whispered, "Really? But why do I feel that Youyou didn't say that just now? Could it be that... Youyou actually thinks so in your heart?" After saying that, he deliberately blew lightly onto Youyou's earlobe, causing Youyou to tremble all over.
"I... wuwu..." Youyou was about to open her mouth to explain, but before she could finish her words, Lu Yi suddenly leaned over and sealed her cherry lips with his warm lips. Lu Yi's kiss was overbearing and affectionate, as if he wanted to swallow Youyou whole.
The kiss lasted for a long time, until Youyou was almost suffocated, Lu Yi finally let her go reluctantly. At this time, Youyou's face was already red like a ripe apple, tender and juicy, and her originally rosy mouth was a little swollen because of the long kiss. She opened her mouth slightly and gasped, and there was an indescribable charm in the corners of her eyes. She collapsed softly in Lu Yi's warm embrace as if she had lost her strength.
Lu Yi stared at Youyou with burning eyes. Seeing her cute and lovely face with a flushed face, his heart could not help but ripple, and he could not help but want to kiss her cherry-red lips again. However, reason finally overcame impulse. He knew that if he really kissed her at this moment, when this little girl reacted, he would probably be the one who suffered in the end. Thinking of this, Lu Yi took a deep breath, suppressed his inner desire, and said: "Will you dare to say that I am old in the future?"
"I dare not, I dare not." Youyou nodded hurriedly, her big eyes blinking with sincerity.
"Well, if that's the case, don't do it again. And..." Lu Yi paused, then said, "Don't always call me Lord Lu. Change your name."
"Then what should I call you? Brother Lu? Brother Lu Yi? Brother Yi, or A Yi?" Youyou tilted her head and asked seriously.
Lu Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said softly: "Just call me A Yi."
"Okay, Ayi." Youyou called sweetly.
Hearing Youyou calling him so intimately, Lu Yi was in a good mood and couldn't help but respond: "My dear."
When Youyou heard this, her body trembled slightly, and two red clouds flew up on her face instantly. She never thought that Lu Yi would call her like this, and she was a little at a loss for a moment. After a while, she stammered, "Ayi, don't call me a good boy. If others hear it, it will be so embarrassing! How shameful!" As she said this, Youyou lowered her head shyly, and her little hands kept fiddling with the corners of her clothes.
Lu Yi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a hint of teasing, and deliberately spoke slowly: "Then how should I call you? Should I call you Madam like before? Or should I call you wife?" As he spoke, he secretly observed Youyou's reaction with the corner of his eye.
Hearing this, Youyou couldn't help but be slightly stunned, then a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, and she said coquettishly: "Oh, um...just call me good boy, but you must remember, don't call me like that in front of others, otherwise, hum! I will never let you off easily, and I will never let you go!" She raised her chin, pretending to be angry and frowning, but her eyes flashed with a little shyness and expectation.
Seeing this, Lu Yi nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I know, I will obey your orders." After saying that, he couldn't help laughing, fearing that if he continued to tease her, he would really annoy the lovely woman in front of him. After all, knowing when to stop can make the relationship between each other sweeter and more interesting.
