Qiao Yiqing's expression was extremely tangled, but facing Shangguan Duo's sincere face, she still had to force a smile: "Haha, Miss Shangguan makes me feel so flattered, how can I be so virtuous and can-"

Shangguan Duo immediately stretched out his index finger and placed it on Qiao Yiqing's lips, staring at her affectionately: "Don't talk nonsense, the man I have identified as Shangguan Duo definitely has this qualification."

Qiao Yiqing felt the warmth of her fingertips and looked at those big loving eyes, almost suffocating her breath.

Oh my God, how to get out now? She found that things seemed to be getting more and more complicated.

Thinking about it, Qiao Yiqing quickly pulled her hand away and said awkwardly: "Even if you identify with me, your parents still don't agree with our marriage. I think - or -"

"Don't worry, they will definitely agree." Shangguan Duo took Qiao Yiqing's hand, held it in his palm, and winked at her confidently.

Qiao Yiqing was frightened and asked, pretending to be calm: "Well, what are you going to do?"

While talking, he tried his best to break free from Shangguan Duo's hand.

Shangguan Duo seemed displeased with Qiao Yiqing's rejection. Not only did he hold her hand, he also moved his whole body towards her, leaning his little head directly on Qiao Yiqing's shoulder.

"Don't worry, they dote on me so much, they will definitely do what I want."

As she spoke, she rubbed Qiao Yiqing's body affectionately.

Qiao Yiqing felt uncomfortable all over, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

"In broad daylight, sister, you are too shameless."

At this moment, a male voice as clear as spring water suddenly rose up, shocking Qiao Yiqing's whole body.

Shangguan Duo immediately stood up, walked to the edge of the pavilion, and looked towards the lake below the pavilion: "Brother, you are so bad, you eavesdropped on other people's conversations."

Qiao Yiqing followed the sound and saw a small boat slowly swimming out from under the pavilion.

Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and the earrings on her earlobes shone even more under the sunlight. Her dark eyes were filled with hidden smiles, and her gaze was projected on Qiao Yiqing's face like a torch.

He was leaning gently on the edge of the boat, his expression was leisurely and at ease, and he really had a sense of being uncontested.

However, Qiao Yiqing could not appreciate his indifferent expression, let alone his handsome appearance and handsome temperament.

My heart skipped a beat, and I suddenly felt frightened——

In the man's gaze, Qiao Yiqing seemed to be covered with moss, and her whole body was hairy.

It's him! It's him!

Seeing Qiao Yiqing's eyes wide open, her surprise fleeting but trying to pretend to be calm, the dark-haired man couldn't help but curl up his lips and smile: "This brother looks so familiar, I always feel like I've seen him somewhere before."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Duo glanced at him disdainfully and retorted: "Tsk, this is the man I like. He is unique in the world. How could you have seen him before?"

She was not ashamed, as if to show off, she pulled Qiao Yiqing over and hugged her arm tightly.

After hearing this, the dark-haired man seemed to look at Qiao Yiqing seriously, then nodded and commented with a half-smile: "Indeed - unique -"

Yes, it is strange that a man who peeks at a man taking a shower is not unique to him.

Qiao Yiqing was sweating in her heart.

Qiao Yiqing looked at the man's teasing gaze, as if she was being stabbed by thorns. It was the interest and excitement projected by an animal after discovering its prey.

Immediately, with a stiff expression, she tried hard to break free from Shangguan Duo's restraints, "Miss Shangguan, you——"

"Don't call me Miss Shangguan, just call me Duo'er." Shangguan Duo was not at all displeased by Qiao Yiqing's struggle, but still pestered her shamelessly, smiling with a flattering look on her face.

"Um, Duo - Duo'er, I'm feeling a little unwell and want to go back to my room to rest first. You -" Qiao Yiqing hesitated for a long time before speaking out.

Hearing this, Duo'er's expression suddenly changed, and she pulled her in panic. Her hands restlessly touched Qiao Yiqing's body, "Che, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? I'll ask the doctor to come and take a look at you."

At this moment, a figure came over, and before Qiao Yiqing could react, she had already fallen into a broad embrace and was instantly away from Shangguan Duo's touch.

"Sister, men and women are not close to each other, please be more reserved. There is no reason for an unmarried woman to touch a man." A low scolding came from above the head. Although it was a reproach, it was difficult to hide the affection.

The beautiful sound, like a concerto, echoed in Qiao Yiqing's ears. She was so startled that she suddenly raised her head and met a pair of thick black eyes that could not be opened, like a black hole that wanted to suck people in.

This man is Shangguan Duo’s brother, so he is the heir apparent of the Shangguan clan!!!

Qiao Yiqing was a little surprised when she realized this, and couldn't help but stare at him for a while.

The corners of the man's mouth were slightly raised, his brows and eyes were full of smiles, and his clear appearance made people feel particularly comfortable.

"You still covet my beauty as always."

The man groaned, his voice so low that only Qiao Yiqing could hear it.

Qiao Yiqing was shocked all over and her face was as green as a vegetable.

This man was teasing her again about peeping at him taking a shower yesterday.

Oh my god, I really didn’t expect that she would fall into the bathtub of the Shangguan clan’s heir apparent. What a sin...

Qiao Yiqing woke up from his teasing tone, and immediately moved away from his arms in shock. With a stiff expression, she cupped her fists and said, "Ai Che, what do you call me?"

Although she wished she could grease her soles and stay away from the two brothers and sisters, she still had some basic courtesy. After all, she lived in the Shangguan clan and had to rely on the Shangguan clan leader for future matters.

Qiao Yiqing has always been polite before fighting.

"Ai Che? Ai - Che -" the man took the words, murmured repeatedly and then raised the corners of his mouth, "I am Shangguan Yi."

Shangguan Duo immediately answered: "He is my brother, the heir apparent of the Shangguan clan."

Qiao Yiqing nodded clearly and continued coldly: "I have long admired your name, and I am glad to meet you."

Saying this, a person suddenly flashed in Qiao Yiqing's mind.

The Crown Prince! Isn’t it the Crown Prince that the general said?

Damn, she actually forgot about this.

She refused the prince's summons, beat up the prince's soldiers, and now she secretly watches the prince take a shower.

Oh my god, she has offended the prince again and again without realizing it.

Originally, she had forgotten about this matter, but now facing the man in front of her, Qiao Yiqing couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

However, the prince didn't know her when he was in Danyao Town, so why did he send someone to invite her?

Thinking about it, Qiao Yiqing stared at Shangguan Yi doubtfully, hoping to see some clues from his calm expression.

"What, does Brother Che think I look familiar?" Shangguan Yi faced Qiao Yiqing's burning gaze and couldn't help but chuckle and asked jokingly.

Shangguan Duo felt unhappy when he saw that Qiao Yiqing didn't pay much attention to her, but instead paid some attention to her brother. He pulled Qiao Yiqing over and said gently: "Aren't you feeling well? I'll help you go back to your room to rest."

Qiao Yiqing came back to her senses and nodded. She also wanted to get out of Shangguan Yi's sight as soon as possible, so as not to stay too long and cause trouble.

"I know some medical skills. Since you feel uncomfortable, I will help you diagnose it."

Qiao Yiqing had just stepped forward when the news that Shangguan Yi had volunteered came from behind.
