Chapter 11 The Bet
"Don't you ask me what's going on?"
Chen Xinmo didn't look back, but just smiled and said with a faint smile: "The more you know, the faster you die. Compared to curiosity, I think my life is more important."
The fifth prince Qin Ye also curled the corner of his mouth when he heard this, "Sometimes I really doubt whether you are really Shen Xinmo."
Although this is casual, it also contains a bit of temptation.
Chen Xinmo paused with her hair holding hands, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. In fact, she had not doubted it before, so when she returned to Chen Mansion, she found all the portraits she had before, and saw everything she could find since childhood. From those portraits, she could see the process of a little girl growing into a girl, and the portrait... was indeed her face.
Moreover, there are some of my previous notes in the study, and the handwriting on it is exactly the same as what I am currently on.
Chen Xinmo shook her head slightly. This idea was indeed a bit ridiculous. Maybe it was because she was not able to accept her former self after her memory loss.
Chen Xinmo sighed in her heart, then turned around and looked at Qin Ye, the fifth prince who was still sitting by the bed, "Your Highness, I have helped you a lot this time. Judging from the situation just now, what you got involved in this time is not a trivial matter. I have helped you so much, and the previous matter should have been written off, right?"
Qin Ye was very happy, "Okay, write it off."
I have to say that if she hadn't helped her this time, she would probably have escaped, but it would inevitably leave some flaws, which would arouse doubts. Although there would be no major problems at the moment, there would be endless troubles. From this point of view, the one she helped her today was definitely not a small favor, and it could barely offset the fact that she had drugged herself before.
Seeing Qin Ye so happy, Chen Xinmo was in a good mood. At least he could stay in the bookstore safely until he left and would not be deliberately made difficult again.
With a relaxed look, she was also in the mood to care about Qin Ye, "Isn't it cold to put on my clothes?" Although it's already Sheng Chun now, it's cold to be shirtless like this, right?
Qin Ye looked down at his clothes, a little disgusted, "How to wear them all because they are covered in blood?" If the situation was not for the urgent situation, he would not have been so. There is also the quilt on the bed, and I don't know how many people touched him. After I go back, I must take a good bath.
"Can you leave here with your shirtless?"
Seeing Qin Ye frowning without saying a word, Chen Xinmo nodded, "Okay, I won't meddle in other people's business anymore. Then your highness, I'll leave first."
Chen Xinmo, who had sorted out herself, calmly left Qianjiao Pavilion. As for how the fifth prince Qin Ye left, she was completely unaware of it. However, when she went to the bookstore the next morning, she met the fifth prince again. He looked energetic and did not look like he had just been injured yesterday, and she felt a little impressed.
Chen Xinmo followed his previous promise and saw the fifth prince, he dodged and avoided it, and went directly to find Feng Cheng's grandson, saying that he would go to see Li Songting at noon and would probably come back later in the afternoon.
Lord Feng was also generous and told her that if the ending was too late, she would just go home. This has always been the case in the bookstore. As long as the tasks assigned to her were completed, everything else would not be restricted.
Therefore, after Chen Xinmo came out of Lord Feng, he left the bookstore directly.
Yiheju is one of the three favorite restaurants for diners in Beijing. Because the price is not too expensive, it is full almost every day. If you want to come here to have a meal, you have to book a seat one day before.
Therefore, Chen Xinmo could find out which private room Li Songting invited someone to dinner today.
My friend has been away from Beijing for five years and finally returned to Beijing yesterday. Li Songting couldn't wait to invite his friend out for dinner today and talk about his experience in the past five years. Who knew that before he could chat, he heard someone knocking outside.
"Didn't you say it just now? There is no need to come in and serve without orders."
But after Li Songting finished speaking, the person outside the door knocked twice.
"Come in." Seeing that the other party did not give up, Li Songting thought it was something important.
As a result, after the door opened, he saw a face he didn't want to see. He frowned and said, "Why are you here?"
Chen Xinmo walked in with a covenant book in her hand, with a warm smile on her face, "Sorry, I'm disturbing the two young masters to have dinner. However... the manuscript can no longer be delayed. Can Mr. Li take the time to talk to me about this matter?"
"The manuscript is right? I understand. I will send it to the bookstore in person another day. My friend just returned to Beijing. I want to welcome him today. Let's talk about this matter another day."
Li Songting saw the deed in her hand, but he didn't take it seriously. Not to mention that he had made a private agreement with the fifth prince. Even if there was no agreement, he could not control himself with a deed.
"Mr. Li would better talk to me, and I can't say a few words. When I finish what I want to say, I will leave immediately and will never disturb you to have dinner."
"I said why are you not finished yet? You didn't understand what I said just now, right? You have to stay there, and you can't get my manuscript within half a year."
OK, this talented person has a pretty big temper.
"Then... I have two words about Miss Qingcheng, I wonder if Mr. Li wants to hear it."
"Miss Qingcheng? What do you want to say?" When Li Songting heard the four words "Miss Qingcheng", his attitude was indeed different.
"If Mr. Li can give me the manuscript, within three days, I promise that Miss Qingcheng will meet you, Mr. Li." Mr. Feng also said that Mr. Li's manuscripts were taken by the fifth prince himself, but this time he handed them over to himself. It was obvious that the fifth prince deliberately made fun of Mr. Li in order to punish him. The manuscript must have been written early in the morning, but he deliberately wanted to make things difficult for him, so he was pressed into the hands of Mr. Li and did not take it out.
"It's true? You're not trying to deceive me?"
"Then let's make a bet. If Miss Qingcheng meets you with Mr. Li within three days, you will give me the manuscript. If not... Then I will no longer pester Mr. Li, you will ask for manuscripts. How about it?"
Three days is already enough. If the beautiful girl still didn't see Mr. Li within two days, she would have a trick.
"Okay, that's it."
This bet is beneficial to Li Songting, and the manuscript has been written long ago. However, the fifth prince said he would deliberately make things difficult for Chen Xinmo, so he refused to give it to him. The manuscript was placed in his study and could be sent back to get it now. He really wanted to see the girl Qingcheng, so this bet would not harm him regardless of winning or losing. At most it would make the fifth prince unhappy, but with his friendship with the fifth prince, he would not make it too difficult for him.
Therefore, Li Songting was naturally very moved by this bet.
Chen Xinmo smiled and nodded, "Okay, since Mr. Li agreed, then I won't bother you to have dinner. I wish you all a happy meal."
Before leaving, Chen Xinmo did not forget to turn around and instruct Li Songting, "I'll ask Mr. Li to prepare the manuscript. I will come to pick it up in three days." His tone sounded ordinary, but it was clear and confident.
