Chapter 80: Chen Yan, you're really a bastard

Gao Yang gave him a sideways glance, not intending to reveal the matter between herself and Li Lizhi.

Combining previous contacts and the situation she had investigated, Gao Yang felt that Chen Yan was a person full of contradictions.

He loved to visit pleasure quarters, but had never stayed overnight there, nor entered any girl's room.

Even though those girls tempted him many times, it was useless.

Chen Yan possessed strong self-control.

He liked to look at beautiful women, but would not become infatuated.

This could be seen from his interactions with Li Lizhi.

Li Lizhi was right; Chen Yan currently had no romantic feelings toward her, and she had to admit that.

But did he have feelings for Li Lizhi?

Don't be ridiculous.

Chen Yan would definitely not be moved by their figures and looks.

If she were to reveal the argument between herself and Li Lizhi that occurred today in front of Li Shimin and his wife.

Then what would Chen Yan think?

Would he dislike Li Lizhi?

There is some possibility, after all Chen Yan does not like her.

Would he feel moved?

That is also possible, after all Li Lizhi is beautiful and of noble status.

She could go to such lengths for an uncertain future; if Chen Yan found it moving after knowing, that would be quite normal.

Gao Yang didn't want to gamble, so she didn't say it.

Moreover, from now on she would never mention the three words "Li Lizhi" in front of Chen Yan.

"........"

"What's happening to me has what to do with you?"

Gao Yang's tone icy: "If you're a man, keep going; don't let me look down on you!"

She thought her provocation was spot-on, but following Chen Yan's temper and attitude toward her.

Next she should face a series of blows.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yan didn't play by the rules, pursed his lips, and said, "There are plenty of people who look down on me in the world; what are you?"

Gao Yang: "........"

She snapped: "Chen Yan, are you even a man?"

"I, the palace, have already scolded you like this; can you really hold back?"

Chen Yan spread his hands helplessly: "If I couldn't hold back, wouldn't that just let you have your fun?"

"Why would I bother?"

Gao Yang: "........"

"Chen Yan!!"

"You're a bastard, a coward; in the whole Tang Dynasty you can't find anyone more cowardly than you—being publicly kicked in the door by a woman, having your face stepped on, and you don't even dare to fart."

"You can't even Wushe......"

"Huh......?" Chen Yan's eyes widened; the earlier him had endured.

"That latter sentence was just too much, damn it!"

Chen Yan's slap landed before Gao Yang's words finished, striking her hard in the back, stopping her unsaid words.

"You won't state the reason when I ask, yet you dare to act all high and mighty."

"Can't you speak properly?"

The more Gao Yang wanted him to hit her, the less he could bring himself to do so.

Just hit her once, give a small lesson,

must not give in to her wishes.

"Chen....... waa waa waa......"

Gao Yang was about to speak when Chen Yan leaned in and covered her mouth.

This time, Chen Yan wasn't too excessive; he planned to let Gao Yang go after just a couple seconds.

Unexpectedly, after Gao Yang came to her senses, she immediately rose from the table, and in Chen Yan's shocked gaze, she embraced his head, tiptoed, and kissed him.

"Holy shit!"

"Young master was forcibly kissed?"

A thought appeared in Chen Yan's mind.

Before he could react, he suddenly felt Gao Yang roughly lift his hand, intending to place it on her bosom.

"???"

Chen Yan immediately shoved Gao Yang away, pressing her firmly onto the stool, his expression turning doubtful and uneasy.

"Wrong!"

"Very, very wrong!"

Last time, he had done some things considered extremely excessive for this era.

Perhaps because of his nature, Gao Yang never pursued it, yet she still displayed the shame and anger proper to a woman of this era.

Until the day the tavern opened, Gao Yang was so frightened by his Death-exemption Gold Medal that she lost her composure, proving her inner turmoil as well—she feared he would do such things again.

Yet now, only two days have passed, and Gao Yang has become this proactive.

This is definitely problematic.

"Let go of me!" Gao Yang strained to suppress the shyness in her heart, struggling hard.

Chen Yan said in a deep voice: "Gao Yang, what exactly do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do? I want......" At the end, she couldn't say it.

As said before, Gao Yang wanted his heart.

However, in a short time, normal methods definitely won't get Chen Yan's heart.

So she planned to take another approach, directly capture Chen Yan.

She would naturally obtain Chen Yan's heart.

Of course, it's a sense of duty.

When she came, Gao Yang had already decided that, as long as it followed the previous development, she wouldn't push Chen Yan away and would be a little more proactive.

With just a man and a woman alone, she didn't believe Chen Yan could restrain himself.

They just need to turn raw rice into cooked rice, and their feelings will naturally heat up.

By then, she'll watch more closely—what does Li Lizhi have to compete with her?

Unfortunately, her abnormality prevented Chen Yan from following her plan, and the courage she had built up along the way was used up cleanly.

If she had to come again, she simply wouldn't dare.

Put bluntly, even if Gao Yang's personality differs greatly from ordinary girls, she is still a girl who grew up beside Empress Changsun and has not yet left the palace.

One proactive move is the limit of what she can currently do.

Chen Yan pressed hard on her shoulders, his voice turning cold: "Gao Yang, I don't know what's wrong with you today, but I think, since you came to me to cause a scene, it must be related to me."

"I told you last time, we need to have a good talk."

"Everyone's time is precious; don't waste it on meaningless things."

"If you've felt wronged because of me, you can tell me now."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yang gave up struggling, lifted her gaze, and said: "You want to know?"

As she spoke, tears hung at the corners of her eyes; combined with her stubborn expression, it made people feel an urge to protect her.

Chen Yan softened his tone: "Of course I want to know—otherwise why would I ask you?"

"Hmph, you want to know? Well, I won't tell you!"

Chen Yan:?

It's the password!

A shameless, face-giving thing!

Without a word, he grabbed Gao Yang's wrist and pressed her back onto the table.

Gao Yang curled the corner of her mouth in a faint triumphant smile, offered no resistance, and deep down still felt a hint of anticipation.

Just as she thought Chen Yan would treat her as before...

As a result, Chen Yan suddenly leaned in, his lips almost touching her ear, and with a smile asked softly: "Last chance—are you really not going to say it?"

Warm breath brushed past her ear; Gao Yang's neck shrank, and her ears instantly heated up.

Her heart raced, yet she still forced herself to say: "If you won't speak, then you......"

Before she could finish, Chen Yan gave a light laugh, locked her arm with his elbow, and stretched his fingers toward her.......

The armpit!

"Ah! You......!" Gao Yang trembled all over, the corners of her mouth twitching repeatedly, pulling and bending, barely holding back, almost jumping up.

"Chen Yan! You're really a bastard!"

"........"
