Chapter 292 Jealousy
Qin Xiaoning knew that the two had always been at odds with each other, so she stammered in a low voice, "I don't want to see him."

Then, he instructed Sister Wang outside the door: "Let Master Shen go and tell him that I am busy.

"

Sister Shen agreed and was about to leave when she saw the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

The tall figure of the man stood at the door, and his cold aura frightened Sister Wang so much that she took two steps back involuntarily.

"My lord, my lord—"

Before she could finish her words, Lu Ji said in a cold voice, "Go and call the man surnamed Shen in."

Although men are not women's formal masters, once those in high positions give orders, people always dare not disobey.

No matter how slow Sister Wang was, she finally realized that something was wrong. She was so anxious that her face turned red immediately. She stood on tiptoe to look at Qin Xiaoning in the room for instructions.

"No need to let him in." Qin Xiaoning left the room: "I'll go and explain everything to him."

When she said the last sentence, she looked at Lu Ji deliberately, and the meaning was very clear: she was innocent.

Lu Ji said nothing more and let Qin Xiaoning leave the inner courtyard.

Shen Qingshu had already heard what happened from the gatekeeper, Brother Li, and learned that it was Lu Ji who came looking for him. He was anxiously rubbing his hands and pacing around outside the gate.

Seeing Qin Xiaoning coming out, Shen Qingshu rushed over to her: "A Ning, Lu Ji is here, right? Did he embarrass you?"

Qin Xiaoning stopped not too far from him and said, "Go away quickly, and don't come looking for me again."

"Did Lu Ji embarrass you again?" Shen Qingshu stepped forward and said anxiously, "A Ning, don't be afraid. Even if he is powerful, he can't be unreasonable."

"Master Shen, how are you?"

The two turned around when they heard the voice, and saw Lu Ji standing at the door, staring at Shen Qingshu with cold eyes, as if he wanted to kill someone.

The last time Lu Ji came to Shuwang, he was deceived by Shen Qingshu.

This guy holds grudges the most. Qin Xiaoning is really afraid that he will beat Shen Qingshu to death in a rage.

"You should leave quickly." Qin Xiaoning urged Shen Qingshu.

Shen Qingshu was not afraid at all. He walked past Qin Xiaoning and took a few steps towards Lu Ji: "Is the prince here after all?"

Lu Ji was happy: "I came here to look for An Ning a long time ago. If you hadn't interfered, An Ning and I would have been reunited a long time ago."

Shen Qingshu was also happy: "If Aning wanted to reunite with you, she wouldn't have gone to such great pains to leave you. Since she has decided to leave and live the life she wants, if you are a man, you should let go freely instead of clinging to her like this."

These words were already very unpleasant to hear, Qin Xiaoning hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Shen Qingshu: "Stop talking, we can solve our own problems."

Lu Ji walked over, raised his hand and pulled Qin Xiaoning behind him, then said to Shen Qingshu with a half-smile, "Mr. Shen, didn't you understand? Even if Ah Ning doesn't like me, she still treats me as her own family. In her heart, you, an outsider, will never be qualified to participate in our affairs."

Lu Ji's words hurt Shen Qingshu.

Indeed, every time the two of them were on the verge of a fight, Qin Xiaoning would always side with Lu Ji.

She kept referring to herself and Lu Ji as "we"

How intimate it sounds.

Shen Qingshu couldn't help but frowned, then looked at Qin Xiaoning. Following Shen Qingshu's gaze, Lu Ji also turned and looked at Qin Xiaoning.

Qin Xiaoning felt very uncomfortable being stared at by two grown men.

She raised her eyes and glanced at the two of them, then said to Shen Qingshu: "He is right. Even if we can't be husband and wife, he is still my relative."

Sure enough, it was heading towards Lu Ji again.

Shen Qingshu's face immediately turned ugly. Before Qin Xiaoning could finish, he interrupted her and said, "What about us? Didn't you personally promise to become siblings?"

The reason why she agreed to Shen Qingshu's request was because she didn't want him to have any improper thoughts about her. Qin Xiaoning agreed to it because she knew that they would inevitably have contact when they were in Shuwang.

After hearing this, Lu Ji's eyes were filled with anger: "A Ning, when did this happen? Did I ever teach you not to call others 'brother' casually?"

He snorted heavily, in a lecturing tone: "You've only been out of my sight for two months, and you've already recognized some random guy as your brother? It seems that all my teachings to you were in vain."

Seeing him nagging endlessly, Qin Xiaoning raised her eyes and rolled her eyes at Lu Ji, then replied coldly, "Shut up."

Although the sound is light, it is very powerful.

It's only been two months since we last met, and the little guy's temper has improved. I dare to teach him a lesson.

Lu Ji was choked and stunned, but after glancing at Qin Xiaoning's fierce eyes, he finally shut his mouth obediently.

Seeing Lu Ji being humiliated, Shen Qingshu's expression eased slightly.

He looked at Lu Ji with a gloating look, and then said to Qin Xiaoning: "A Ning, don't be afraid. You are a free person, and no one can force you."

Qin Xiaoning repeated to Shen Qingshu in the same tone she had used to teach Lu Ji: "You too, shut up."

Shen Qingshu: “.”

Lu Ji immediately laughed out loud.

It was not until Qin Xiaoning gave him a glare that Lu Ji stopped his slightly exaggerated laughter.

"A Ning——"

Shen Qingshu spoke aggrievedly, but before he could say anything else, Qin Xiaoning interrupted him with a wave of her hand: "Sir Shen, please stop talking. I came to Qianzhou and you helped me a lot. I am very grateful for all this, but as for the love between men and women, I have already made it clear to you that I will never fall in love with another man in my life."

After Shen Qingshu heard this, his face flushed with anxiety: "So, you want to go back with him?"

He raised his hand and pointed at Lu Ji: "Do you still want to live a life of being a humble servant to others?"

Of course I don't want that.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so cruel to leave.

Qin Xiaoning frowned and said coldly, "Go away, and don't come here again."

Finally, he added: "Let's not do this anymore, brother and sister."

After that, she turned back to the yard. Seeing Lu Ji still standing there, Qin Xiaoning called out to him impatiently, "Why aren't you coming back yet?"

Lu Ji replied: "You go in first, I'll be back soon."

Knowing that this man had a stubborn temper, but since she had clearly been on his side just now, Qin Xiaoning also believed that Lu Ji would not go too far.

At least, he would not kill Shen Qingshu in anger.

There were big, tough men on both sides, and Qin Xiaoning didn't bother to care as long as no one was killed. She just let them do whatever they wanted, and left them alone, going back to the yard.

After Qin Xiaoning left, Lu Ji looked at Shen Qingshu with a gloating look: "What? Are you still not giving up?"

Shen Qingshu sneered and retorted: "You just threatened Ah Ning with a favor, and now he surrendered. What kind of ability is that?"

Lu Ji was amused and deliberately said in a sly way: "No matter what method I use, as long as I am still alive, An Ning will not like anyone else. Even if I really die, she will not like you."

He paused, raised his eyebrows slightly, and continued: "A Ning just said it very clearly, you should know it clearly in your heart."

"Even if I didn't come, she wouldn't have accepted your advances, right? Besides, now that we've reunited, what chance do you have?"

Shen Qingshu looked depressed: "A Ning didn't say she would forgive you."

Lu Ji was happy: "I have my own way to make her change her mind."

Then, he mocked Shen Qingshu: "I told you long ago that Ah Ning is mine. Although you love her bitterly, she only has me in her heart. You can only toss and turn in bed and worry about her all your life."
