Time went day by day. Bai Aoxue nursed her wound and waited for the day to set off.
On the other hand, Jun Yeyan prepared everything. Bai Aoxue had guessed the aim of Jun Wuhen, but right now she didn’t care about that.
She had been in this dynasty so long and finally had the chance to see the world out of Chengxi. How could she be not excited?
And during this time of waiting, Nalan Youhong came back from Mobei Dynasty. He was exhausted and his white skin was tanned.
As soon as Nanlan Youhong was back, he shouted curses at Jun Yeyan’s mansion and made a scene.
Jun Yeyan took no notice of Nanlan Youhong and didn’t bother to listen to his complaint.
Bai Aoxue lifted up an elegant tea cup and sipped tea. She narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. Jun Yeyan was dumb enjoying Bai Aoxue’s elegance.
Nalan Youhong despised the dumb Jun Yeyan, but he really envied Jun Yeyan inside.
Bai Aoxue glanced at Nalan Youhong and a light flashed through her eyes. She recalled her Chidian.
“Where is my Chidian, Jun Yeyan? I haven’t seen him for a long time.” Bai Aoxue turned around and asked Jun Yeyan.
Mumian and other maidservants also recalled Chidian was also a member of them. Thinking of the fangs of Chidian, Mumian and Hongxiu could not help to shiver.
“Coward!” Nalan Youhong taunted at Mumian.
Though Nalan Youhong said in a low voice, Mumian still heard him. Mumian stepped up to Nalan Youhong, with her hands on her waist, “You tan face. Do you dare to say it again?”
Mumian was not shy as before. In the mansion of Jun Yeyan, there were only maidservants except Bai Aoxue. They hung out and kidded around with the retainers. So gradually, Mumian was easy to get a temper.
Nalan Youhong burst into rage on Mumian’s words. He hated others talk about the color of his skin, which used to bring him pride. But now, his skin was tanned which was not his willing.
How dared Mumian, a maidservant, laugh at his tanned skin! Besides, Mumian turned out to be so easy to get a temper in such a short period of time.
Bai Aoxue connived at the two kidding around. She just pretended enjoying a play for free. But she was really concerned about Chidian.
Jun Yeyan frowned on Bai Aoxue’s words, “He sticks to you all the day long. I thought you were annoyed by him. So, I sent him away.”
Zhao and Wenxi jerked their lips when they heard Jun Yeyan’s words.
How dare you, master, Fifth Prince! Don’t you notice the Princess’s facial expression?
Bai Aoxue got angry but smiled, “How come I don’t know I am annoyed by Chidian? You know me better than I do?”
Jun Yeyan continued calmly, “I surely know you well. You surely have no idea how well I know you.”
Jun Yeyan was brazen and Bai Aoxue didn’t expect Jun Yeyan to have this side. She smiled brutally, “I don’t care about whether you know me or not. It was you who gave me Chidian. So what? Now you want to take it back?”
Jun Yeyan frowned severely on Bai Aoxue’s words and didn’t say anything.
Bai Aoxue took it as Jun Yeyan wanted to fight with her in silence. So, she smiled, but she didn’t give in a little in words.
“Should I take it as admission? Since you want to take Chidian back, then you can take back yourself as well.” Bai Aoxue sipped her tea to wet her throat and said coldly.
The corners of Jun Yeyan’s eyes quivered on Bai Aoxue’s words.
Zhao already experienced cramp in the corners of his mouth.
Bai Aoxue giggled in her heart when Jun Yeyan could not find words to reply to her. It was very rare to corner Jun Yeyan into such an awkward situation.
“Didn’t you hear me?” Bai Aoxue’s words were full of gloating.
Jun Yeyan’s heart beat hardly. He knew that Bai Aoxue said so on purpose. Bai Aoxue knew exactly that the person Jun Yeyan concerned most was her, but she still said the “take back” words on purpose.
“Aoxue…” There was restraint patient in Jun Yeyan’s voice.
Jun Yeyan could put up with anything except that Bai Aoxue asked him to take himself back.
Jun Yeyan suddenly pulled Bai Aoxue into his chest, pressed her head against his heart before Bai Aoxue figured it out what was happening.
“Listen to my heart beat. It beats only because of you. If you want me to take myself back, then let my heart stop beating. Otherwise, I have nothing to do.” Jun Yeyan’s voice was husky with magnetism, which made Bai Aoxue’s body soft and caused storms in her heart.
She didn’t know what to do and at the same time, she giggled in silence.
Bai Aoxue leaned against Jun Yeyan’s chest in still, listening to his heart beat.
“Pit-a-pat.”
“Pit-a-pat.”
“Pit-a-pat.”
This was his heart beat, just like others’, but with echoes of pride and cold.
Bai Aoxue felt safe, a kind of safe that she finally found where she belonged to.
Jun Yeyan lowered his head to see that Bai Aoxue blushed and her eyelashes fluttered in the sun shine to form a tiny shadow on her face. Her lips pressed, stubborn and indifferent.
Her facial expression was a bit contradictory, but more attractive.
Right now, in his chest was what he had, was the reason he tried hard.
“Well…what do I see? My god, am I blind?” There was an excited voice.
Bai Aoxue’s body shook severely on the voice, and she pushed Jun Yeyan away with force, and glared at Jun Yeyan. Then she turned to the voice’s owner.
Nalan Youhong was in high spirits enjoying the scene of Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan. He wore a sneaky look and his eye sight was a little filthy.
Bai Aoxue curled her lips in disgusting. Her embarrassment had faded. She said, “I have no idea that young Lord Nalan has this hobby. Peeping is not right. I hope young Lord Nalan correct this wrong behavior so as to avoid huge mistake in the future.”
Nalan Youhong didn’t figure out the words between lines, “Princess worries too much. I am a person that knows the rules.”
Jun Yeyan despised Nalan Youhong with a glance, and said, “Aoxue is wondering whether you have the hobby of peeping on others. If so, correct it as soon as possible. Otherwise, people will think you are a freak.”
Then, Jun Yeyan gave a flattering glance at Bai Aoxue.
Bai Aoxue curled her lips in satisfaction.
Nalan Youhong’s smiling face froze on Jun Yeyan’s words.
“Freak? Me? You think I am a freak?” Nalan Youhong’s facial expression showed that he thought Jun Yeyan’s words were beyond his comprehension.
As Nalan Youhong saying he pointed at himself.
When he saw Jun Yeyan and Bai Aoxue nodded at the same time, Nalan Youhong burst into laughter, “Are you kidding? I, as the young Lord, am handsome and elegant. You have no idea how many ladies are infatuated with my charm. How dare you to say I am a freak! I guess you are not good at judging people.”
“You are a freak! Tanned face! You peeping weirdo!” Mumian grabbed any chance to taunt Nalan Youhong.
Nalan Youhong couldn’t catch his breath when he heard Mumian’s words.
Nalan Youhong glared at Mumian and made up his mind silently that if Mumian continued to say another word, he would beat her up.
He didn’t care about the gentleman’s good gesture of not fighting with female. Since he was already a peeping weirdo in her eyes, then there was no one he feared of.
Bai Aoxue didn’t bother to say anything to Nalan Youhong. What she concerned was where Chidian was.
“Jun Yeyan, bring Chidian to me. I will take Chidian with me to Nanyue.” Bai Aoxue said seriously to Jun Yeyan and there was unshakeable stubborn in her eyes.
Jun Yeyan had nothing to do except sighed, “I see. I will send someone to bring Chidian to you in a while.”
Smiles flicked on Bai Aoxue’s face and then disappeared, short as though, attracted and bewitched Jun Yeyan.
Jun Yeyan was a little bit jealous. In Bai Aoxue’s heart, wasn’t he as valuable as the bastard, Chidian?
In the distant outskirt of the capital city, Chidian, who was taken good care of and lived a cozy life, quivered severely. Did his master miss him? Did his master finally decide to bring him back?
Chidian wagged him tail in excitement. His furry ears fluttered.
Seeing Bai Aoxue was happy, Jun Yeyan dismissed the feeling of jealousy over Chidian.
As long as Aoxue was happy, what was the matter to have more than one Chidian?
Nalan Youhong was still quarreling with Mumian fiercely. Bai Aoxue rolled her eyes and got an idea in her mind.
Bai Aoxue’s subtle behavior was noticed by Zhao and Wenxi. They started to feel sorry for Mumian and Nalan Youhong. And then they glanced at each other and moved their eye sight away in an instant.
Hongxiu, who rushed out to the kitchen to attend the soup, now suddenly appeared in the sight of everyone. She stepped up to Bai Aoxue, hesitating.
Bai Aoxue was a little bit confused, “What’s wrong?”
Hongxiu looked at Jun Yeyan, stepped backwards carefully, “Here comes the Emperor’s message, Miss is supposed to keep a certain distance with the…the…the Fifth Prince. Otherwise Miss might be injured or killed mistakenly.”
All of a sudden, the atmosphere of the whole yard was conquered by Jun Yeyan’s cold and ruthlessness. The tenderness in his eyes, which only appeared when he looked at Bai Aoxue, had faded and the intention of killing as the Dark King soared.
Bai Aoxue frowned on Hongxiu’s words, “Who told you?”
Seeing Bai Aoxue nod, Hongxiu explained in details, “Just now I caught the sign of correspondence, so I got over. There was a young eunuch from the palace, who constantly accompanies the Emperor in recent times.”
“The young eunuch said the Emperor wanted you to keep in touch with the Heir of Marquis Deyuan. The Heir of Marquis Deyuan will protect you and he will lend you a hand in the back when it is necessary.” Hongxiu paused a while and then continued.
Bai Aoxue laughed coldly on Hongxiu’s words. What a good plan of Jun Wuhen. It must be Bai Qiwei that conspired this plot with Jun Wuhen. No wonder that Bai Qiwei told her if she wanted to live, she must obey him.
Bai Aoxue thought this was ridiculous and said indifferently, “It turns out to be Du Siyan that will accompany us to Nanyue.”
Jun Yeyan was a little bit confused but he said in a strong voice, “I can protect my Aoxue. If Jun Wuhen wants to kill me, then let him, as long as he is capable of killing me.”
The atmosphere was full of cruelty and brutality, which caused Mumian and other maidservants could not breathe. This was so terrible! It was much more terrible than the situation of Bai Aoxue and Liushuang fought with each other last time.
Bai Aoxue held Jun Yeyan’s palm and said slowly, “I believe you can protect me.”
After hearing Bai Aoxue’s words, Jun Yeyan’s intention of killing faded. But Mumian and other maidservants were still patting on their chests out of the fear of the terrible atmosphere.
“Has the eunuch left?” Bai Aoxue asked Hongxiu.
Hongxiu nodded, looking at Bai Aoxue. She felt lucky to be in distance with Jun Yeyan.
“Aoxue, you know Du Siyan?” Jun Yeyan asked lightly, apparently, he recalled Bai Aoxue’s words.
Bai Aoxue nodded, “Yes. He is the fellow who intended to assault me.”
