"I would ask you the same as well." Qi Qingyao smiled back at him.

Tan Xiangdie raised his brows slightly and said politely, "I'm not tired. I still feel rather comfortable."

Qi Qingyao chuckled.

Then she turned around, intending to leave.

Tan Xiangdie followed behind, watching the little lady. "Do tell this man, who did you sleep with last night?"

Qi Qingyao almost fell over at this question. After holding onto the willow tree beside her for support, she looked back at him speechlessly.

"I saw you changing your clothes in the alley." Tan Xiangdie pointed out without hesitation.

"Oh, is that so?" So that was what he meant.

"Aren't you afraid of being seen by others?" Looking at her calm expression, Tan Xiangdie concluded that this kind of thing might be very common for her.

Qi Qingyao said indifferently, "I didn't take everything off at that time, so why should I be afraid of being seen?"

"What a snarky little cutie." Tan Xiangdie was a little surprised by how openly she admitted it; he rather liked her openness.

Qi Qingyao thought for a while and said, "You followed me to Songhe Inn simply because you saw me changing my clothes?"

"You had a great time with someone last night, so much so that you had to change your clothes in the alley this morning. Little lady! You must really know how to have fun!"

Tan Xiangdie approached her while feigning a shady profile, and cornered the little lady against the wall. His hot breath fanned right across her face. "I can also make you feel good. What do you think? Do you wanna…have a good time with me tonight?"

"You're insane."

Qi Qingyao lowered herself slightly into a crouch and slipped through the gap under his arm.

Tan Xiangdie was exasperated. He followed her and called out, "Why am I insane?"

Qi Qingyao shot daggers at him.

Tan Xiangdie returned the gaze calmly. "If you don't agree to my proposition, believe it or not, I'll take you back by force and have my way with you tonight."

Qi Qingyao stopped in her tracks. She turned around and smiled oddly. "Brother, I swear on your being, if you try that, you'll definitely regret it. You might even lose your life."

"What makes you think so?" There should not be any rank nine powerhouses in her family!

"You had best believe me." Qi Qingyao blinked her eyes as she smiled. That smile was like a two-faced little devil's.

"Are you really the daughter of a high-ranking official in the capital…" Her smile was very attractive, but also despicable at the same time.

"You definitely can't afford to offend the person backing me," Qi Qingyao said casually.

Tan Xiangdie, "..."

Noting that he was silent, Qi Qingyao knew that he would be unnerved, so she said,

"I should explain."

"First of all, I did not sleep with anyone last night. Secondly, I just snuck out to play early this morning, and I didn't want to be discovered by the folk back at the house, so I put on a disguise. Thirdly, I know someone of great power, if he knew that I was being misunderstood by someone like this… With that alone, the countdown to how long your head will stay on your neck is about to begin."

Tan Xiangdie uttered an "oh", feeling a little annoyed. "It seems like your identity is rather remarkable."

Qi Qingyao snorted coldly. "Your Excellency being in disguise like this, it seems that Your Excellency's identity is rather remarkable too."

Knowing that the juicy piece of meat in his grasp was about to run away, Tan Xiangdie sighed and followed behind the little lady. He lamented, "But what if I still want you to accompany me for one night?"

Qi Qingyao stopped in her tracks again. She turned around and said with a despicable smile, "Are you sure you can afford to offend the State Preceptor?" She did not want to mention him, but it could be helped. It was this man's fault for being so ignorant of the details.

"...!!" Tan Xiangdie's breathing halted for a second.

Qi Qingyao could tell that he was scared. She smiled even more smugly and said, "If I say that I'm someone from the State Preceptor's household, do you still want to lay a hand on me?"

"You…"

Hold on.

No wonder he thought her voice was familiar.
