Chapter 141 You're Too Much of a Temptress
Song Beiyou has a keen sense of smell; the unusual fragrance alone made a hint of doubt appear deep in her eyes.
However, it disappeared very quickly.
On the surface, he appeared no different, but in his heart, he was full of opinions about Lou Yue.
Remembering what Zongzheng Qi had said a few days ago, he kept a close eye on her while analyzing the fragrance on her body.
Most people wouldn't be able to discern the scent and would simply think it's an ordinary perfume.
But Song Beiyou is different. In the past, when she was in Qingshuihe, she dealt with all kinds of herbs and poisons for many years, and she could clearly smell the hazelnut mixture mixed in with this fragrance.
Not much, but enough to make a person act strangely.
Hazelnut blend, originating from medieval capitalist countries.
In that era, wealthy ducal families practiced polygamy, and they had extremely high aesthetic standards, with each wife and concubine being a rare beauty.
Men surrounded by flowers become the targets of many beautiful women.
Who wouldn't want to be favored by the Duke or her husband?
As a result, all sorts of strange and wonderful methods emerged to compete for attention.
From witchcraft in capitalist countries to poisoning food and drinks, the methods are countless.
Hazelnut mixture is one such example; it is a hallucinogenic drug that is extremely easy for men to absorb into their bodies.
Simply spray a little on your body and get within one to two meters of your target of the opposite sex, and the target of the opposite sex will become interested in the woman who has sprayed the hazelnut scent mixture in a short period of time.
Even indescribable things happened.
Unless the target of the opposite sex has very strong self-control and is able to escape "this ordeal".
In other words, the hazelnut mixture is actually no different from the Albizia powder.
However, hazelnut blend is not widely available in China, and very few people know about it.
......
Thinking of this, Madam Duan raised her wine glass to interrupt her thoughts, "I'm so happy today that Ayao was able to bring Youyou home for the New Year. I think everything I wish for will come true in the coming year."
Come on, everyone, let's have a drink!
The people at the table raised their glasses, clinked them together, and drank them down in one gulp.
Song Beiyou finished his glass of red wine, but his eyes inadvertently drifted to Lou Yue, who was standing next to Duan Yao.
When Song Beiyou noticed that Lou Yue was also glancing at Duan Yao out of the corner of her eye, her lowered eyes curled up slightly.
A faint smile appeared on his lips, unnoticed by anyone.
Tsk tsk tsk!
No wonder!
No wonder Zongzheng Qi asked Lou Yue about whether she was a special envoy.
So, this is... a love rival?
So Lou Yue was treating herself as a child bride.
Hmm? This is interesting, especially during the Chinese New Year!
If she hadn't come to the Duan family's old house with Duan Yao today for the New Year, would Duan Yao have fallen into the arms of a beauty?
Ugh! Just thinking about that scene makes me a little angry, why is that?
snort!
She decided not to remind Duan Yao for the time being, to see how long he could hold out.
After finishing his drink, Duan Yao offered a blessing and then sat down with the others.
The moment he sat down, he subconsciously looked at Song Beiyou next to him.
Looking at it this way, he noticed that she gave him a look that he didn't quite understand.
That look in his eyes was filled with anger and resentment; I don't know what was wrong with it.
He clearly didn't offend her!
But I couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
So much so that he couldn't help but shift his position slightly and ask in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Are you suddenly unhappy?"
Song Beiyou glanced at him and said directly, "Yes!"
Duan Yao raised an eyebrow slightly. "What's the reason?"
Song Beiyou snorted coldly, "You're too much of a flirt."
Duan Yao, “…”
What's wrong with him? For no reason at all?
I feel wronged, but I dare not be wronged.
Just look at her.
Afraid of upsetting Old Madam Duan and being noticed, Song Beiyou quickly glared at Duan Yao and then put another piece of fish on his plate, saying, "Eat it."
In fact, their interaction was no big deal in the eyes of Old Madam Duan, Duan Yu, and Qin Shuyao.
They even thought the young couple were whispering to each other, flirting even while having a meal.
I was so happy!
Lou Yue, on the other hand, appeared to be acting normally, but she was inwardly displeased and anxious.
She was anxious about when Duan Yao would notice her.
Song Beiyou's analysis was absolutely correct; she did indeed spray a hazelnut-scented mixture on her body.
I got it from Mrs. He, who said that many high-profile socialites in Beijing's elite circles had purchased items from her.
He also said that this was not a shameful thing, but rather a matter of following one's heart and pursuing happiness.
Upon hearing this, Lou Yue gradually came to agree with Mrs. He's words.
She wanted to take a gamble; why not give it a try?
What if it succeeds?
Even if Song Beiyou were present today, she would still have to carry out the plan she originally wanted to execute.
I only pray that her deceased parents, brothers, and sisters can bless her from heaven, so that she can live a carefree life and find her own happiness.
Time passed second by second.
The housekeeper, Uncle Li, set off a string of small firecrackers in the yard, reigniting the New Year's atmosphere.
The smile on Madam Duan's face never faded, and she had someone fill her glass with red wine.
Putting Lou Yue aside, Song Beiyou really enjoyed the New Year's atmosphere at the Duan family's house. After another glass of red wine, a small blush crept onto her cheeks.
Duan Yao, who was standing to the side, had also been drinking. He stretched out his long arm and rested it on the back of Song Beiyou's chair.
Watching the blush creep up her cheeks, I felt a little itchy to reach out and touch them.
As soon as the idea came to mind, he lifted his hand from the back of the chair and slowly moved it toward Song Beiyou's face.
Strangely enough, just as his hand was about to touch Song Beiyou's cheek, he withdrew it.
And, without any apparent reason, she tilted her head and looked to his left.
Lou Yue was sitting over there.
The moment Duan Yao looked over, Lou Yue suddenly looked up, and their eyes met.
Lou Yue knew her heart was pounding terribly, but she still managed to put on her most satisfied smile at this moment.
However, before she could even finish smiling, she watched as Duan Yao frowned and turned his head back.
Lou Yue's heart skipped a beat, and her lips were pressed tightly together.
She didn't understand what was going on. Duan Yao had just turned his head to look at her, but now he turned his head back as if nothing had happened.
She wasn't the only one who didn't understand; Duan Yao understood even less.
She didn't understand why she suddenly turned her head to glance at Lou Yue and even made eye contact with her.
He felt inexplicably guilty towards Song Beiyou.
Take a deep breath to clear your mind, and look at Song Beiyou again.
Song Beiyou chuckled inwardly, but his face showed a look of anticipation.
She had seen clearly the scene of Duan Yao looking at Lou Yue.
I originally thought Duan Yao would lose control, but I didn't expect him to have such a strong will.
