I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Chapter 154: Slap in the Face (Part )

"Brother Bai, what you said is wrong. We are all here to have dinner, why do you use the word 'stop'? Shen Mu put his hand on Lan Xi's shoulder, "I just came here with my little Xi to say hello to her classmates."

"Bah, disgusting!" Xie Shu rolled her eyes.

Shen Mu was not angry, but invited: "It is better to meet by chance than to meet by chance. Since we have met, why don't we all get together and get to know each other."

"No need. People with different ideals cannot work together. Please let me pass." Bai Qiuning said in a cold tone.

If there was a hint of winning over in Shen Mu's words, then Bai Qiuning's words undoubtedly did not give him any face.

No one knew what grudge the two had in the past, but Qi Yan could clearly feel that Bai Qiu Ning was deeply hostile to Shen Mu.

At this time, the woman next to Lan Xi sneered: "For a wild boy who came from nowhere, he didn't hesitate to offend the Second Young Master Shen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Master Bai is really clear-headed."

Qi Yan remembered that her name seemed to be Xiao Qin, and she was from the Planting Department.

At that time, except Lan Xi, everyone else who caused trouble in the laboratory was punished, including Xiao Qin.

In addition, she had previously suspected that Dyson's accident was related to Qi Yan and the others, so she had long been full of resentment towards Qi Yan and the others.

But she didn't have the confidence to confront the Bai and Xie families, nor could she afford to offend Rui En, so she naturally directed her spearhead at the powerless Qi Yan.

"You don't need to worry about this." Bai Qiuning gave her a cold look.

There was contempt in that look, which made Xiao Qin furious.

It was unknown whether she was relying on Lan Xi's power or Shen Mu's power, but she blurted out: "She is just a cheap girl who can only seduce men, but someone treats her like a treasure. If this gets out, I'm afraid even the family will lose face."

"What did you say?!" Xie Shu raised her hand on the spot, but before it fell, Bai Qiuning grabbed it with quick eyes and hands.

At this time, Bai Qiu Ning's face was as dark as ink, but although he stopped Xie Shu, he did not stop others.

There was a crisp sound of slapping, and everyone was stunned.

Anne looked at her shaking hands and suddenly woke up, her expression instantly becoming terrified.

"How dare you hit me?" Xiao Qin covered her face, her eyes filled with shock and anger.

She couldn't believe that a civilian dared to hit her. If it was Xie Shu, she might still be afraid, but Annie was like an ant in her eyes.

Now that an ant dared to hit her, she immediately raised her hand, ready to fight back fiercely.

Annie held her head in fear, but the slap did not fall as expected.

A green shadow flashed by, and no one could see clearly what it was. Then Xiao Qin cried out in pain, and then she retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted.

On the back of her hand, there was a striking bloodstain.

At some point, Qi Yan had already stood in front of Annie.

Xiao Qin was so angry that she raised her hand and was about to shout at Qi Yan: "You lowly creature, you are courting death!"

At this time, a slapping sound came from not far away: "Hey, what are you doing?"

Si Mingyu clapped his hands and walked over with a group of followers. Xiao Qin withdrew her hands unwillingly upon seeing this, but soon she showed an expression of gloating.

Qi Yan frowned. Now all the people he hated were gathered together.

After seeing the person coming, Bai Qiu Ning's eyes darkened. If Si Mingyu stood up for Xiao Qin, things would become difficult.

He didn't expect that just coming out for a meal would cause so much trouble, and he immediately felt a little sorry.

Si Mingyu walked up to Lan Xi and put his arm around his waist: "Beauty, did you miss me?"

Lan Xi called out "Your Highness" coldly, but did not break free from Si Mingyu's hand.

Looking at this scene, Qi Yan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. For the first time, he felt angry at Lan Xi.

This person clearly had an ambiguous relationship with Si Mingyu, yet he deliberately spread and fabricated rumors about his relationship with A Yuan.

At this moment, Qi Yan felt more disgusted than if he had eaten a fly. Every rumor spread by Lan Xi made him feel that it was an insult to Huo Linyuan.

He couldn't help but clench his palms so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.

Perhaps Qi Yan's emotions were too strong, Si Mingyu glanced over here, but then his eyes lit up and he let go of Lan Xi.

"This little beauty looks strange to me. I wonder which family she is from? Would you like to have dinner with me?"

His expression was extremely frivolous. If it weren't for his title as the Crown Prince of the Empire, he would have been no different from a playboy.

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Lan Xi's face changed, Xiao Qin also looked dejected, while Shen Mu had an expression of watching the fire from the other side of the river and enjoying the show.

In terms of frivolity, he is a few points worse than this prince.

"Your Highness, please respect yourself." Qi Yan said coldly.

Now that the royal family and the military have not completely torn their relations apart, Qi Yan does not want to create any complications, let alone make things worse.

He was worried that if Huo Linyuan heard about this, it would affect Huo Linyuan's mood.

Furthermore, if the matter gets out of hand and A Yuan stands up for him afterwards, the precarious relationship between the royal family and the military will surely collapse. How will the outside world evaluate A Yuan then?

To put it nicely, it is a case of risking one's life for a beautiful woman; to put it bluntly, it is a case of being bewitched by a vixen.

He must not become a beautiful woman who brings disaster to the country and the people.

However, as the saying goes, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop, after hearing Qi Yan's words, Si Mingyu not only did not restrain himself, but instead became even more aggressive.

"A beauty is a beauty, she is pretty and has a sweet voice, perfect, perfect!" Si Mingyu wondered why he hadn't discovered before that there was such a person in the Military Academy.

"This prince remembers you two, one is from the Xie family and the other is from the Bai family... That's perfect, this prince will treat you all today, come along." He pointed at Xie Shu and Bai Qiu Ning.

Si Mingyu's hint was already very clear. If someone was good at dealing with people and currying favor, he would have already coaxed and pushed Qi Yan to go with him.

But Xie Shu and Bai Qiu Ning stopped where they were, both of them looked unhappy, but they really didn't dare to offend Si Mingyu openly.

Just when the two didn't know what to do, suddenly a heavenly sound came from the sky and saved them from the water and fire.

"Is the Crown Prince causing trouble in my territory?" Li Jia walked over with a cold face.

"Daddy?!" Qi Yan exclaimed.

Liga's expression softened as he looked at him.

He walked to Qi Yan, held Qi Yan in his arms, and then looked at Si Mingyu with a sharp gaze.

"My children don't deserve the word 'lowly' from your mouth." Li Jia deliberately emphasized the two insulting words, and his eyes scraped across Lanxi and Xiaoqin like a knife.

Xiao Qin shuddered at the look in his eyes.

To be honest, Qi Yan was really relieved after being embraced by Li Jia.

Because if Si Mingyu continued to pester him, he really couldn't guarantee how things would develop. Even if he could suppress Chou Chou, he would not be able to suppress Potian.

However, he didn't know how much impact his word "Daddy" had caused to others. Everyone's face was full of colorful expressions.

Lanxi's gaze kept changing, from surprise to astonishment, and then to jealousy.

However, Qi Yan noticed the other man who came with him. When everyone else looked surprised, only his expression remained unchanged.

It’s just that the man looked like a teenager, but he was a little gloomy, giving people a very bad feeling.
