It's all just, exploitation.
It's all just, a chess piece for his ascension.
Xie Ruiyao is, Bai Mowan is, and Ye Qichi can only end up like this.
He let go of Ye Qichi.
The strong reluctance, after all, was endured with cold indifference.
This woman, Ye Qichi, someday, he will make her submit beneath him.
He said, "Excuse my rudeness."
Though he seems to be apologizing, there's not a trace of remorse.
It looks like, he's deliberately teasing her.
In ancient times, being teased for a woman could be humiliating enough to drive one to jump into a river and commit suicide.
Xiao Jinsen thinks he can retaliate against her like this?! Absurdity at its finest.
Of course, Ye Qichi didn't laugh either, but instead, very gracefully bowed and said, "Your concubine takes her leave."
She turned and walked away once more.
Xiao Jinsen just watched Ye Qichi's retreating figure.
In his palm, it felt like the warm touch of Ye Qichi's palm still lingered.
Ye Qichi...
