After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

Chapter 159 A man won’t shed tears easily

This might be why he couldn't take his eyes off her at first sight and gradually fell in love with her!

At this moment, Qi Jingyue felt relieved. He admitted to himself that he had fallen in love with her, a woman who was both an ordinary person and unlike any other.

At the same time, Ye Yuwu was also about to feel relieved.

"Is it really that urgent?!"

"Urgent! Otherwise, why would I have been banging on the door and calling them? I've already reached my limit by the time I've managed to hold back!" Ye Yuwu's face was pale, all from holding it in.

Qi Jingyue was speechless.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Qi Jingyue suddenly fell silent, and Ye Yuwu panicked a little.

"Wait!" he suddenly uttered.

Ye Yuwu: ?

She was still in a daze when suddenly he leaned closer to her.

In an instant, she smelled the faint scent of pine on him, like the smell of cool air on a clear day, a clean and slightly bitter woody fragrance.

Before Ye Yuwu could react, she was already in his arms. A moment later, before she could even react, she heard a loud bang from the wooden door behind her.

In an instant, their bodies transformed. It turned out that he was protecting her, afraid that she would be hurt by the wooden fork that broke the door. After he kicked out with force, the door broke open, and her body was protected by him.

The two people who were eavesdropping by the door were also startled by this sudden turn of events.

The merchant never expected that such a sturdy wooden door could be so easily kicked open by Qingming, a woman, leaving the wood shattered on the ground.

Then, behind the broken wooden door, they saw Manager Ye being held in Qingmingxu's arms.

The three of them simultaneously opened their mouths wide.

"That's enough," Qingming whispered to Ye Yuwu in his arms.

Ye Yuwu saw it too, of course. She quickly got out of his arms and rushed out the door.

As he passed by the three of them, his eyes met Zhang Rouyan's for a fleeting moment.

But at that moment, she wasn't thinking too much; all she could think about was going to the toilet.

As soon as the door was kicked open, a beautiful figure emerged from the crack and ran outside.

Zhang Rouyan and Xue Ting could only see his figure as he rushed past them. When Zhang Rouyan met Ye Yuwu's eyes, she noticed that Manager Ye's cheeks seemed to still be red.

"Did she get caught and run away in embarrassment?" Zhang Rouyan pondered, watching Ye Yuwu's departing figure.

Then she turned her gaze to Qingming.

Qingming didn't show any emotion about breaking out of the door. Instead, when Manager Ye left, he didn't forget to pat the dust off his clothes.

He had a calm and composed expression.

At this moment, An Xing's heart was shattered.

He clearly saw them hugging just now.

He glanced at Qingming with tears in his eyes, then ran away.

Xueting realized what was happening and wondered whether she should call Anxing back.

At this moment, Qingming also came out of the storage room, saw the two people squatting in the corner, and looked at them with a puzzled expression, saying, "What are you two doing here?"

Zhang Rouyan and Xue Ting felt a little awkward. Xue Ting was inexplicably afraid of him and didn't dare to speak, silently hiding behind Zhang Rouyan.

"Well, I just happened to hear the noise and was passing by, so I thought I'd come and see what was going on, haha," she explained with a dry laugh.

"Oh, really? What a coincidence. But next time you two want to find something, you should come to the storeroom yourself. Manager Ye and I really couldn't find what you two were looking for." With that, Qingming strode away with a flourish.

The two were left standing there awkwardly, looking at each other.

"Sister Rouyan, Qingming has discovered it."

The moment Qingming uttered those words, Xueting felt an invisible pressure emanating from him, as if he had seen through all her little tricks.

"It seems he knew all along, but he cooperated with us and didn't expose us, just wanting to see what we were going to do!"

"Ah! That, that..." Xueting was speechless after hearing Zhang Rouyan's analysis.

"Don't worry, Qingming isn't angry. It's clear he likes our arrangement, otherwise he wouldn't have left so easily with those ambiguous words."

"So..." Xueting's fear dissipated, "The two of them really made up!"

Zhang Rouyan nodded, and Xueting smiled with satisfaction.

"Is this the bet between you and An Xing? An Xing seemed very upset just now. Aren't we just hurting him emotionally by doing this?"

Zhang Rouyan is now starting to doubt her own actions. "My original intention was to make him see clearly that even if Qingming and Manager Ye have nothing going on, he and Qingming are destined to be different types of people and can't be together. It's better to let him see clearly now and give up sooner rather than later!"

Zhang Rouyan always had a feeling that Anxing and Qingming could never be together, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.

"Sister Rouyan, you're so amazing and knowledgeable!" Xueting looked at her with admiration.

"Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've still seen pigs run! If you read a lot of storybooks, you'll naturally understand a little about matters of the heart!" Zhang Rouyan proudly boasted.

"It seems that Manager Ye and Qingming have made up!"

The two chatted as they walked toward the main hall of the bookstore.

Qingming downstairs returned to her "workstation".

A short while later, the two people upstairs were about to return to the book repair department to start their work when they happened to see An Xing walk up to Qingming's side again.

The two men instantly stopped in their tracks, crouching down behind the railing with shifty eyes, peering down, but they couldn't hear what the two men were saying.

Qingming downstairs was also confused. Anxing suddenly walked up to him with red eyes, pulled him to a deserted corner, and said some strange things.

But when he heard him say "I love 'her'" with his own ears, his face instantly turned ugly.

An Xing, however, was completely oblivious to the danger and continued talking to himself.

The guards in the darkness gripped their knives tightly when they heard An Xing mention His Highness Xin Yue, ready to kill him at his command.

Then, as An Xing was speaking, he suddenly blurted out, "I know you and Manager Ye like each other, and I know it's impossible for us, but I still want to tell you my thoughts. You don't have to take it as a burden. I won't appear in front of you anymore. I just hope that you and Manager Ye won't care about the opinions of the world and will be as brave as I am, bravely pursuing the love you have!"

As he spoke, An Xing felt like crying again, but as a grown man, he could not easily shed tears in front of a woman. A man does not easily shed tears, so he forced back the bitterness in his heart and said his blessings to the two of them.

His long-winded speech left Qingming speechless.
