After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

Chapter 158 "I'm in a real hurry!"

However, Ye Yuwu only realized it at this moment.

"What is their purpose in doing this?" Ye Yuwu wondered.

Qi Jingyue shrugged. "They probably think we had a fight and want us to talk it out and make up?" he analyzed.

After hearing his words, Ye Yuwu raised her hand and patted the wooden door again, calling out "Zhang Rouyan's" name as she did so.

Xueting and Zhang Rouyan outside heard the noise. Xueting said to Zhang Rouyan, "What should we do? It seems the shopkeeper has discovered us. Should we open the door?"

"Wait! Don't rush!" Zhang Rouyan led Xueting and Anxing closer to the door of the storage room. Zhang Rouyan leaned against the wooden door first, pressing her ear against it to listen carefully to what was happening inside.

Xueting only dared to whisper to Zhang Rouyan, "Won't what we're doing be wrong?!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than another sound came from inside.

It seemed something had tripped over. Xue Ting immediately stopped talking and, imitating Zhang Rouyan, pressed her ear against the door.

An Xing, who had been making a lot of noise, also became interested, and the three of them put their ears to the back of the door in a neat line, one in front and one behind.

The three of them could only vaguely hear what was being said inside.

"I didn't mean to deceive you. It was just that the situation was urgent and I couldn't reveal my identity. Wearing women's clothing was a last resort."

“Now that I know your true identity, why do you still dress as a woman? It's so damaging to your noble status! You can go back to being the Crown Prince; there's no need for you to be a ‘greeter’ here!”

"I...I like wearing women's clothes, is that wrong?!"

"You said the same thing last time!"

"I was serious!"

The three people outside only heard, "I didn't mean to deceive you," "I like..." and "I'm serious."

The three of them opened their mouths wide, silently uttering only an interjection, "Oh~".

"Is this...is this a declaration of affection?! Seriously, why is Qingming speaking so loudly, as if she's afraid the people outside won't hear her? I wonder what Manager Ye said that made 'her' react so strongly! Hehehe~"

Xue Ting almost jumped out in excitement, and Zhang Rouyan's heart was also unsettled.

"What do you mean 'I like'?! Damn it, I didn't even hear the complete 'I like you'!" Zhang Rouyan was furious and really wanted to tear down this annoying door.

"Manager Ye, you must be very touched! I never expected Qingming to be so bold in expressing his love! Waaah~ I'm so sad about the feelings between women before!" Xue Ting was almost moved to tears.

If Ye Yuwu knew that these two were so good at imagining and writing, she would definitely give them pens and paper and let them write stories!

The two didn't notice that An Xing was almost crying; they were both completely absorbed in the "shipping" mood.

The conversation inside the room continued.

Ye Yuwu was startled by his loud voice.

"Why are you being so fierce! Just because you like wearing women's clothes doesn't mean you can! I won't say anything to you."

In fact, Qi Jingyue already regretted saying "I'm serious" a little.

He couldn't understand why he would say such a thing, but when he thought that if he didn't stay with her under this identity, he would probably never have any contact with her again, he lied to Ye Yuwu and admitted that he liked to wear women's clothes.

The lie was almost becoming the truth, but thankfully, only Ye Yuwu mistakenly believed that he liked to wear women's clothing.

Just as Qi Jingyue was convincing himself, he had no idea how helpless the guards, whose hearing was always sharp, were perched on the roof, wishing they could cut off their own ears.

It's all because of these ears! Why are they so sensitive? Listening to everything will only get you into trouble!

From then on, the fact that His Highness the Crown Prince liked to wear women's clothing became widely known among the secret guards.

Unfortunately, Qi Jingyue remained unaware of this.

"Weren't your injuries already healed? Why are you still staying in my dilapidated bookstore?"

"At first, it was indeed to avoid the assassins who wanted to kill me, while I was still investigating, so it was only natural that I stayed in the bookstore. Later, I really liked this place, and I also really liked the stories you wrote."

"You scared me to death! Why are you breathing so heavily?" Ye Yuwu almost stopped breathing when she heard him say he liked her.

Qi Jingyue could now see that Ye Yuwu really cared about this matter, so when he suddenly blurted out "I like you," he noticed her expression and changed his words.

After saying the last two words, Qi Jingyue's interest became very subtle; Ye Yuwu really didn't like him.

Or to put it another way, she was genuinely afraid of getting involved with him. Before, it was all his arrogance that led him to provoke Bai Zunyue like a fool.

Thinking of this, his heart ached, and an inexplicable sense of loss welled up inside him.

Looking at her delicate face, Qi Jingyue suddenly remembered that the noble families of Bianjing had all been saying that she liked Bai Zunyue, and that she had been relentlessly pursuing and flattering Bai Zunyue.

He couldn't help but wonder: Does she still like Bai Zunyue now?

"Finished talking? Why did you suddenly stop?"

Qi Jingyue snapped out of his reverie at her voice, “In short, I really consider Zhiyu Bookstore my home, which is why I’m staying here. The reason I kept disappearing suddenly before was because I was busy handling government affairs.”

"And I really enjoy your storybooks. I always see something different in them, which is something I want to learn and do."

Qi Jingyue smiled wryly.

Compared to her, he, as the crown prince, was still inadequate; he couldn't bring a better life to the people.

On the contrary, it was Ye Yuwu's research on honeycomb briquettes and refined sugar that improved and benefited Jin Guo.

Therefore, Qi Jingyue recently sent many people to protect her in secret.

However, these last words were indeed Qi Jingyue's true feelings, but Ye Yuwu was still skeptical.

“Alright, Your Highness, I believe you this time…” She thought for a moment and then said, “You should let Qu Lu come back too. She didn’t actually do anything to harm Shu Si. On the contrary, she saved me. I should thank her. Her sudden absence makes others suspicious.”

Qi Jingyue was a little jealous. When would she ever care about him like this? She always thought of others.

Although Qi Jingyue felt uncomfortable, he still agreed.

"Then stop avoiding me!"

"I didn't!" Ye Yuwu accused guiltily, refusing to admit it no matter what.

After a short while, Ye Yuwu wilted and looked at the wooden door, saying, "What do we do if we can't open this door?"

Qi Jingyue frowned. "It's alright, they'll come to open the door in a bit."

"No, I'm in a real hurry."

"?" Qi Jingyue asked, puzzled. "What's the rush?"

"Go to the toilet! You can't hold it in!"

Qi Jingyue was taken aback, clearly not realizing that Ye Yuwu was completely open with him and said such things without any ladylike reserve.

However, this is what makes Ye Yuwu different from other women, which is why she wrote such shocking and unconventional stories.
