RPAGF Chapter 35 Do you like Su Yan'er?
Chapter 35 Do you like Su Yan'er?
Qin Wan instinctively tried to grab the handrail as she fell to her side, but her hand slipped and she couldn't grab anything.
Everyone was stunned and instinctively tried to grab Qin Wan. The stairs were quite high, and if she fell, she would likely be seriously injured.
But they were all behind Qin Wan, and even if they reached out, they couldn't stop her. Just at the critical moment, Xiao Jingyu took a side step and caught Qin Wan on her shoulder as she was about to fall.
Seeing that Qin Wan was unharmed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but when they saw that the person who caught her was the Fourth Prince, everyone's hearts jumped again.
"Wan'er, are you alright?" Xiao Jingyu asked softly.
Shen Siyi's face was ashen. She had originally intended to get revenge on Qin Wan by making Qin Wan fall down the stairs and look disheveled, but unexpectedly, her fiancé caught Qin Wan.
At that moment, Shen Siyi's jealousy reached its peak. She knew that he still had Qin Wan in his heart. If it weren't for her aunt's insistence, she probably wouldn't have been able to have a marriage agreement with him.
But if Qin Wan hadn't appeared at Fanlou today, how could Brother Jingyu have had this kind of contact with her? As long as Qin Wan is still alive, Brother Jingyu's heart will never be with her.
Thinking of this, a flash of murderous intent crossed Shen Siyi's eyes.
Qin Ye watched as Qin Wan leaned on Xiao Jingyu's shoulder. He was the current fourth prince and someone else's fiancé. How could Wan'er be so bold?
Qin Ye subconsciously moved Qin Wan away from Xiao Jingyu and said, "Wan'er was unsteady on her feet, thank you for saving her, Fourth Prince!"
Xiao Jingyu shifted her concerned gaze from Qin Wan to Qin Ye and said, "It's nothing, just a small favor!"
Shen Siyi snorted and turned her head to stare intently at Qin Wan.
"How could Miss Qin be so careless, falling down even while walking? If you didn't know better, you'd think she still had feelings for Brother Jingyu and was deliberately throwing herself at him!"
Shen Siyi spoke the last few words through gritted teeth, completely unaware that she was the one who had caused the whole thing.
Qin Wan paused. She didn't know if others had seen it, but she could clearly feel that if Shen Siyi hadn't pulled her and tripped her, she wouldn't have lost her footing.
She hadn't expected Xiao Jingyu to catch her, but she would rather fall than have any more entanglement with him.
"Miss Shen, you know better than I how I fell!"
Fortunately, the Fourth Prince caught me. Otherwise, when I fell, I would have instinctively grabbed the person next to me, and I would have pulled Miss Shen down the stairs with me!
A look of disgust flashed across Shen Siyi's face, and her hands, hanging down, almost tore the handkerchief to shreds.
Qin Wan shifted her gaze from Shen Siyi to Xiao Jingyu and said again.
"Thank you for your help, Fourth Prince. However, we are currently blocking the stairs and obstructing everyone's path. Should we move the stairs first?"
His words were a wake-up call for everyone. Looking around, there were indeed many people who were blocked, but they all knew that the person in front of them was the Fourth Prince, so they did not dare to urge him. They ended up watching a good show.
Outside Fanlou, the group parted ways. Watching the Fourth Prince's carriage drive further and further away, Qin Ye pulled Qin Wan to a corner where no one paid attention and couldn't help but speak.
"Wan'er, what was wrong with you just now? Why did you pounce on the Fourth Prince in public?"
I know you love him, but he's already betrothed to someone else. It's impossible for you two to be together. Are you still thinking of marrying him? Or becoming his concubine?
Qin Wan was stunned, not to mention that she had been deliberately tripped by Shen Siyi.
Even if that's not the case, her brothers should have been the first to rescue her when she was about to fall. Now that she's been rescued by someone else, they're starting to hold her accountable.
"I know for sure that there is no possibility between me and the Fourth Prince. Even if there were only the slightest chance, I would not resort to such despicable means. In your eyes, am I that kind of person?"
Qin Wan asked back, a sneer playing on her lips. Her brothers were right behind her, but they couldn't stop her when she was about to fall.
If her brothers had rescued her today, would what just happened have occurred?
Of course not, and she wouldn't have just been subjected to strange looks from everyone.
"Fourth sister, eldest brother was just trying to persuade you with good intentions. We know that fourth sister understands in her heart that there is no longer any possibility between fourth sister and fourth prince."
But others don't know what Fourth Sister is thinking. To outsiders, it seems that Fourth Sister did it on purpose! Su Yan'er, standing behind Qin Lang, said timidly.
Just now, when Qin Wan was about to fall, she and Qin Lang were walking at the back. She was about to whisper something to Qin Lang, but when Qin Lang saw that Qin Wan was unsteady, his first reaction was to push Su Yan'er aside and go to pull Qin Wan up.
Although she was alright, her heart still clenched painfully. In their eyes, no matter how well she did, she seemed to be no match for their domineering sister.
Hearing Su Yan'er's words, Qin Wan's anger flared up. Qin Ye was her older brother, so he could talk back to her, but what right did Su Yan'er have?
Thinking of this, Qin Wan turned her cold gaze, took a step forward, and stood opposite Su Yan'er.
He said coldly, "Su Yan'er, what does this have to do with you? Do I need your opinion on my part?"
Su Yan'er seemed to be frightened by Qin Wan's gaze, and hurriedly hid behind Qin Lang again, grabbing Qin Lang's belt with her small hands, and slightly bowing her body, seeking protection.
"Qin Wan, Yan'er meant well by reminding you, don't be ungrateful!" Qin Yi said from the side.
Qin Wan chuckled and turned to look at Qin Yi. "Why do you turn around and criticize me whenever I mention her? You're so protective of her, do you mean you like her?"
"You..." Qin Yi was speechless for a moment. "What nonsense are you talking about? Yan'er is our sister. How could I possibly like her!"
"If you don't like her, why are you defending her so much? The eldest brother didn't say anything, the second brother didn't say anything, but you had to chime in so quickly!"
At this moment, Su Yan'er, who was hiding behind Qin Lang, was still blushing. She subconsciously glanced at Qin Yi, and the young man who had not yet grown up also had a bit more shyness on his face.
But Su Yan'er quickly realized that although Qin Yi was older than her, he was only a few months older and they were born at the same age. Men get married after they reach adulthood, and Qin Yi still had four years until his marriage. Su Yan'er couldn't wait that long.
She wanted to marry into the Marquis's family, and she had considered Qin Yi, but unfortunately, Qin Yi was too young.
As the heir apparent, Qin Ye bore heavy responsibilities for his family. Given her lowly status, it was impossible for her to marry him. Therefore, she set her sights on Qin Lang.
She had considered Qin Wan's words for a moment. If Qin Yi couldn't live without her, she wasn't unwilling.
Qin Yi blushed immediately upon hearing this. "Qin Wan, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Qin Yi now regrets it. He regrets going to Leishan Temple to ask for a 'peace pendant' for her. She is not worthy of the jade pendant he asked for!
"Qin Wan, Yan'er is our sister. Is it wrong for Third Brother to protect her so much? We used to protect you in the same way. Was that also based on romantic feelings?"
