That day, after freeloading a meal at the Gu Family, he went straight into the Baoyue Building. But as soon as he entered, he bumped into someone ing out.
Initially, he didn’t think much of it, but the other person sat directly on the ground.
Qi Jingyi immediately frowned but still asked, "Miss, are you alright?"
Fen Kelan’s eyes were filled with tears as she looked up at Qi Jingyi pitifully, "What do you think?"
"Someone, help this young lady up." Qi Jingyi stepped aside.
Weng Ji hurried forward.
But how could Fen Kelan let another man touch her? She quickly waved her hand, "No need."
Meanwhile, the maid behind her rushed over, "Are you alright?"
"I fell!" Fen Kelan didn’t expect the force of him entering to be so great that she’d be knocked over. Her bottom hurt, but she was too embarrassed to say anything.
"Do you need to go to the medical center for a check?" Qi Jingyi frowned and asked.
"No need, I’ll be fine after a moment." Fen Kelan shook her head, then looked at Qi Jingyi, "Prince Yi, don’t you recognize me?"
Qi Jingyi finally looked at Fen Kelan’s face. It was a pretty face, somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t recall, so he just chuckled, "Which family’s young lady are you?"
Fen Kelan furrowed her brows. He didn’t recognize her? He had once pulled the reins to save her, and later in the palace, she had specially gone to greet him, but he was with some other people at the time, and she didn’t get to talk to him. Her face was perfect, the kind that would make anyone’s eyes light up upon seeing it. And yet he didn’t remember?
Seeing her silence, Qi Jingyi turned to leave; he genuinely couldn’t be bothered with inexplicable people.
"Your Highness." Seeing Qi Jingyi turn to leave, Fen Kelan panicked and, ignoring her sore bottom, chased after him.
"Is there something else?" Qi Jingyi slightly raised an eyebrow.
"You bumped into me just now." Fen Kelan, full of grievances, said with a touch of coquettishness in her tone.
"Miss, are you sure it was I who bumped into you?"
Fen Kelan was stunned. She had seen him enter, then lunged forward, but she didn’t expect...
"If there’s nothing else, please leave. I have other matters to attend to." Qi Jingyi’s expression had already darkened. He was now convinced this woman was here to pester him.
"I’m Fen Kelan, the granddaughter of Elder Wang." Fen Kelan had no choice but to reveal her identity.
"Elder Wang?" Qi Jingyi looked at Fen Kelan, "From the Shilin Academy?" There were two Elder Wangs in the Cabinet: one was from the Shilin Academy, Wang Yaze, and the other was Wang Zhiqing from the Academician of Baoge Hall, but Wang Zhiqing had no daughter.
"Yes." Fen Kelan smiled.
"Oh." Qi Jingyi smiled, "In that case, please spend generously, Miss Fen. After all, the Fen Family are wealthy merchants in Jiangnan, and Miss Fen isn’t short of money."
"Huh?" Fen Kelan was dumbfounded.
"e here." Qi Jingyi quickly called the shopkeeper over, "Make sure to entertain Miss Fen well. Serve whatever’s expensive, don’t worry about Silver, Miss Fen has plenty of it, serve her properly."
"Yes." The shopkeeper hurriedly bowed to Fen Kelan with a beaming smile, "Miss Fen, this way please."
"You..." Fen Kelan was so angry she could spit blood, she stomped her foot and ran off.
