Fiancee

Feng ye was in a complicated state trying to find out what to do with her who was mistaking him for someone else. He thought of leaving her, but his morals contradicted him. While he was deciding what to do with her, Qin Ru was in her own drunken world.

When he looked in her direction, he found her hopping around imitating frog. Though she seemed silly, yet pure. She was laughing at her own actions. She started throwing her shoes in different directions and then running to get it herself as if someone is going to steal her treasure if she not reached in time. She was holding her shoes close to her heart while walking to him. She tripped on a stone and fell.

He rushed to her and asked if she was okay but the moment she looked at him, she was dazed and forgot about her pain.

He couldn't understand why she turned silent all of a sudden but he still gave his hand to help her get up. She got up and was looking at him constantly. He couldn't understand so while touching his face he asked, "Is there something on my face?".

She slightly shook her head and said, "you are so handsome". She even poked his face to confirm the existence of his handsomeness.

He was embarrassed because it was the first time a beautiful woman complimented him boldly.

"Are you my knight in shining armour?", she asked with her twinkling eyes. Instead of replying to her, he asked, "Tell me your address Miss? I'll drop you to your home."

"I don't want to go home so take me to your home", she replied while sounding irritated at the thought of going to her home.

"Miss, I can't take you to my home so please tell me where do you live?".

"No, take me to your home and I promise I won't disturb anyone. I'll remain quiet". She even put her index finger on her lips to prove her point.

He was in a dilemma whether he should take her to his home or not. Since he couldn't risk her leaving her alone here and she was also not telling her address so, in the end, he decided to take her home.

"Cn you walk?" He asked but the answer was obvious to him.

He sighed and bent down in front of her. "Hop on and I'll give you a piggyback ride."

She happily hopped on his back. She was singing and even talking nonsense about how a coachman was asking her to give fare for the ride and how she used her appearance to convince him for a free ride but failed to do so. She told stories of how she lost the gamble and got herself dead drunk. She even started imitating him and used her fringe of hair to make a moustache. Though he was silent all the time he still listened to her blabbering and was amused to see her.

They finally reached his home and he noticed that she had dozed off during the ride. He settled her in his room as other rooms weren't cleaned. Then he removed her shoes, covered her with a blanket, and went out to freshen up. He slept in the hall deciding to tell mother Ye Shi about her later.

It was a lively encounter.

Next day---

The morning sun was attacking Qin Ru with its sun rays as she was fighting to sleep peacefully but in the end, she lost and woke up in an irritated mood. Also, the hangover started doing its job. She started recalling the happenings of last night when she heard the sound of the door being opened.

Feng Ye Isey brought soup for her hangover. He asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"Hmm"

"Do you remember what you did last night?", he tested the waters.

She remained quiet and gave him a questioning look.

"Do you remember how you pounced on me and called me your knight in shining armour? You even told me how you can't resist my beauty and can't control yourself."

He paused to expect any reaction like 'really, did I do that?'. But very unlikely she remained silent.

He continued, "you even tried to kiss me and asked to sleep beside you. Since I have my principles and respect for women, so I slept outside. You were like a wild tigress last night."

"Do you know I have a memory of an eagle? Even in a drunken state, I know the exact words I spoke. And also, this wild tigress can even hunt you down and tear your skin into shreds if you speak another word about last night?" She threatened him, totally different behaviour from yesterday.

He acted like using a key to shut his mouth and threw the key. Satisfied with his actions she got up to freshen up. She came to the hall finding him preparing breakfast as he asked her to join it.

At the same time, mother Ye Shi came with a pot of hot porridge and a questioning look on her face while looking at Qin Ru but she didn't question Feng Ye Isey.

Three of them were having a peaceful breakfast when Qin Ru informed them, "I will leave after breakfast".

Feng Ye Isey objected immediately because he wanted to know how she knew about his name and background when he kept a low profile. "you can't leave".

"Why? Are you my brother, husband, or my master?"

Perplexedly he answered, "No, Why?"

"then Why do I need your permission to leave?"

"I need to ask something from you."

"I am in no mood to answer so keep your curiosity cat quiet inside you."

He was about to convince her to stay when he heard a knock. He went to the door and found Zhi Yin dressed godly in a white Hanfu with a golden embroidery around her sash. She had her hair tied up in a neat bun with Zao and Ji looking gentle and gorgeous.

Feng Ye Isey was stunned to see her at the door looking like a fairy descended from the sky to bless the world with her beauty. While Qin Ru thought differently. For her she looked like a slut who was here with one purpose only, that was to seduce Feng Ye Isey and use him for her benefit.

Her train of thoughts was broken when Zhi Yin spoke, "Xiao Isey, I am going to the courtroom, Can you please walk me there? This might be the last time I am asking you to do something for me. Treat it as a favour."

She lowered her eyes innocently hiding her pain with a sad smile. She looked up and met his gaze which was clear but with a pinch of sorrow and somewhere in it, there was the look of being defeated.

He wanted to say no so but seeing her made it difficult. He was in dilemma and was about to agree when he got interrupted, "No, he's busy".

Feng Ye Isey was shocked. He wasn't expecting this.

"And since you look so gorgeous and about to become the Holy Lady, Feng Ye Isey would not match your standards. And if you walk beside him in the market it might bring disgrace to you." Qin Ru sarcastically remarked knowing that this is all her façade.

Zhi Yin was caught off guard and did not know who she was or why was she replying on his stead. She turned to him and asked, "Who is she?"

Instead, it was Qin Ru who answered while showing her ring on her ring finger, "I am his fiancé".

Feng Ye Isey and Zhi Yin both were shocked out of their mind and had their eyes widened, staring at her intently as if waiting for her to explain but Qin Ru remained silent with no intention to explain herself further.

Rather she told, "so, I hope now you would leave Feng Ye Isey alone and would trouble yourself to leave this house and his life".

Qin Ru was aware that if he goes to the courtroom, he would be a laughing stock for everyone. Everyone was aware of his love for Zhi Yin. She knew going there would only going to hurt him and he, instead of denying, would silently endure all the insults thrown at him.
