"Don't you think I'm a raving lunatic" Li Chen asked.

Su Jinpa softly said: "Whether I'm crazy or not, it has nothing to do with me. Master thinks that I am pretending to be aloof sitting behind the gauze curtain, and I don't need to explain anything. Since Master has seen it now, can you please put the gauze curtain down"

"OK."

Li Chen agreed readily, and he immediately lowered the curtain.

But what really broke Zhao Tailai and his men's spirits was that Li Chen also followed behind the curtain.

This way, it would be like Li Chen and Su Jinpa living alone together, while the rest of them would be like intruders.

"You scoundrel!"

Zhao Tailai was incredibly jealous. He raised his leg to walk to the curtain, wanting to go inside and grab Li Chen out, but he was afraid of startling the beauty. Finally, unable to decide what to do, he could only threaten from outside, "Come out quickly, and I might still let you off easy, otherwise... my father is the chief minister, and I will make you and your entire family regret this!"

Inside the mosquito net, Li Chen completely ignored Zhao Tai's words as if they were fart.

He sat down in front of Su Jinping with a careless swagger, a tea table separating them. On the table lay a qin, along with a dish of fruit, pastries, and a cup of tea.

Sipping his teacup, Li Chen said to Su Jinpa, "This kind of person, luckily your father rejected Zhao Xuanji's proposal. Otherwise, marrying him would be worse than dying early."

Su Jin's eyes, bright as stars, gazed at the teacup in Li Chen's hand, her cheeks flushing slightly.

This cup of tea, she had drunk it, and there were still some traces of lip prints on the rim.

And this person before me, whether intentionally or unintentionally, was drinking tea with their own lip prints on it.

She had never had any physical contact with any man before. The fact that she shared a teacup with Li Chen on their first meeting, drinking from the same water, made Su Jinpa feel a bit embarrassed.

"Since you know his father is the current chief minister, aren't you afraid of offending him" Su Jinpa asked.

Li Chen said lazily, "In this world, only others are afraid of offending me, and I am not afraid of offending anyone."

Su Jinpa said faintly, "Young master, your words are bold."

"Am I being too outspoken How do you know from so far away"

Li Chen spoke, resting his arm on the tea table and leaning forward, getting close to Su Jinpa. Their mouths and noses were only a fist's distance apart, allowing Li Chen to clearly see Su Jinpa's slightly trembling eyelashes and surprised expression.

"Why don't you come closer and smell it, Miss"

Li Chen's levity made Su Jinpa instantly furious.

"Please be mindful of yourself!"

Li Chen chuckled softly, taking out a jade pendant from his bosom and saying, "Your father said that this could be used as a betrothal gift."

Su Jinyao had originally been nonchalant, but upon seeing the jade pendant, his face revealed an expression of utter shock. He exclaimed, "The Lanying Jade Pendant"

"How could you possess this It was a love token between my grandfather and grandmother in their youth. Later, my grandmother gave it to my mother, a set of two pieces. My mother gave me one, and the other remains missing."

Li Chen heard that this jade pendant actually had such a history, and thought to himself no wonder it could be regarded as an agreement between Su Zhen Ting and his cheap father emperor.

Although Zhao Tailai was outside the gauze curtain at the moment, he could still faintly see what was happening inside. When he saw Li Chen suddenly lean close to Su Jinpa, he felt a surge of jealousy that almost drove him mad.

"Miss Jin, how are you That rogue was most disrespectful to you! "

Saying that, Zhao Tailai didn't care much. He flung open the curtain and pointed at Li Chen, angrily shouting: "Dog thing! Get over here!"

"Zhao Tailai."

Li Chen's eyes were cold as he said, "Even with your father here, you dare to speak to me like that"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room erupted in an uproar.

Zhao Tailai laughed angrily, saying, "Who do you think you are! My father is the chief minister! He wields power throughout the court. Who in this world wouldn't fear him"

"Young Master Zhao."

Now, filled with doubts about why Li Chen possessed the Linyu jade pendant, Su Jin'pa became impatient. She said sternly, "Please be quiet."Chapter 610: Fierce Battle
