Chen Bei could easily imagine that Chu Jianan knew Qiqi when he was a slave, just like Qiqi bought him back from the slave market. The biggest possibility was that Chu Jianan was also the one who received the favor of Miss Liang Qixi.

As for the specific situation?

He didn't know the details.

"You hate him?"

There was a hint of tentativeness in Chen Bei's words.

Chu Jianan saved Qiqi back then. Over the years, it was well known in the Imperial Master's Mansion that the eldest senior brother doted on Xiaoqi. Logically, Qiqi should have a good relationship with Chu Jianan. Why did she suddenly change so much and become so annoyed with Chu Jianan?

"Yes, I hate him. I want to kill him."

I clearly said just now that I don't want to discuss Chu Jianan with anyone. But now I naturally talk about it with Chen Bei.

What kind of hatred could make Qiqi suddenly become like this?

Chen Bei suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Little dumb——"

He had just said three words when Qiqi suddenly turned to look at him with a cold look in her eyes, the kind of coldness that only comes from deep hatred.

"How do you know Chu Jianan is the little mute?"

Chu Jianan is the little mute?

Chen Bei's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

It was just as he had guessed. He just suddenly thought of this possibility.

Unexpectedly, Qiqi really mistook Chu Jianan for him. Although he knew that Qiqi would hate the little mute, he did not expect that Qiqi would hate him so much.

Qiqi hates him?

This realization made his expression change instantly.

"Did the master tell you that?"

Qiqi smiled bitterly, and the scary expression on her face faded a little.

"Since you know it, I won't hide it from you."

Qiqi thought, Prince Chenbei is the second senior brother, and the person that Master trusts the most. These days, when she was with him, although he was a bit rogue and stuck to her every day, he was still a very good person. Deep down, she felt that she was relying on him.

"My name is Liang Qixi..."

Qiqi briefly recounted how she bought the little mute, how her Liang family was destroyed because of the little mute, how she was abducted by the men in black, and how she was rescued by Chu Jianan and her master and taken to the Imperial Master's Mansion.

Chen Bei listened to the ground without changing his expression, but his heart was like a raging storm.

It turns out that this is why he has been searching all over the world for many years and still can't find Miss Qixi. It turns out that this is the deep meaning of what Master said, the farthest is the closest.

But now, facing Qiqi, what should he say?

Can he say that he is just a little mute?

Could he say that he had always loved her and been looking for her?

Can he say that everything that happened back then must have been a conspiracy, a conspiracy related to him, and he has been investigating it all these years?

"Has he ever told you that he likes you?"

"That's not love, that's guilt. That's a guilty conscience."

Qiqi said mercilessly, leaving Chenbei speechless.

Yes, he had a guilty conscience, he felt guilty, and he loved even more deeply.

But, does he dare to say it?

At this time, does he dare to confess to Qiqi?

dare not.

He didn't dare at all.

He couldn't bear the consequence of losing Qiqi before even starting.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a report came from outside the big tent, startling the two of them.

"Go and take care of business."

Qiqi pushed Chen Bei who was in a daze. Now in her heart, for some reason, maybe because of what she said in her heart. Maybe because of something else... she already regarded this second brother as a closer person.
