Ever since they came back from Jiangnan, Shuojin would always be a little absent-minded when doing things. He would always think of that woman from time to time.
Shuojin knew very well that things were developing very well now. They had come over peacefully in the past few years. Everything was calm and everything was on the right track.
Seeing that his and Bei Mingchen's plan was being completed step by step, they were getting closer and closer to their goal. Maybe it was the best choice for him and "Xi Yan" not to meet or recognize each other.
However, Shuojin just couldn't help it. Since he already knew that the person was her, how could he pretend to turn a blind eye?
He missed her very much, but seeing how happy she was now, he didn't want to disrupt her life.
In fact, what he wants is not much. He only wants her to be well. He just wants to look after her silently and see her occasionally, even if he just takes a look at her from a distance to make sure that she is okay.
That's enough.
Therefore, he once again boldly "disobeyed" Bei Mingchen's request and rashly came to Prince Xiao's Mansion. He sneaked into Prince Xiao's Mansion without anyone noticing.
"Hey, my lord!"
He suddenly appeared in front of Bei Mingchen, looking carefree and looking around. At first glance, he couldn't see anything different from usual.
However, his sudden appearance made Bei Mingchen very angry and dissatisfied.
"What's wrong!"
Bei Mingchen emphasized to him over and over again that if there was anything to say outside, he must not come to the palace, but why could this kid never remember it?
"It's nothing. Don't be so unwelcome to me."
Shuojin raised her eyebrows at him and continued to look around the palace, looking for Miss Xiyan.
But when he looked left and right, he couldn't see Xi Yan. He closed his eyes in disappointment and looked at Bei Mingchen. Seeing that his temper was good, he boldly asked about her situation.
"By the way, where is Miss Xiyan?"
In order not to make him suspicious, Shuojin deliberately pretended to be nonchalant and spoke, but his eyes could not help but look around. At this time, he naturally did not notice Bei Mingchen's expression that suddenly twitched.
Bei Mingchen was really surprised that Shuojin would ask this question.
"Why does she care about you? Why do you care so much about her?"
Bei Mingchen said to Shuojin angrily. He deliberately suppressed his inner nervousness with anger, but his eyes were still a little erratic. He also subconsciously looked at the place where Xi Yan usually lived.
He was afraid that Shuojin would pass by because he didn't want anyone to know about Xiyan's departure, including Shuojin.
"Hey, why are you talking so fiercely every day?"
Bei Mingchen suddenly spoke loudly to Shuojin, but it startled him. He twitched violently, quickly put away his eyes, and looked at Bei Mingchen intently.
Then, he continued to talk about his purpose of coming, which he had already thought about before coming here.
"Care about your future sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
Shuojin still looked serious and spoke to Bei Mingchen in a provocative tone.
Seeing a cold light flash in Bei Mingchen's eyes, as if he was about to skin him alive, Shuojin immediately returned to the topic and became serious. But before Bei Mingchen could speak, he continued to add.
"Okay, okay, no kidding, Miss Xiyan made such a good ointment for me, of course I have to thank her in person."
Shuojin subconsciously emphasized the word "face to face", but luckily Bei Mingchen didn't notice.
"oh."
After hearing this, Bei Mingchen simply said, "So that's it." His expression gradually relaxed, and his hanging heart relaxed.
After hearing Bei Mingchen's answer, Shuojin was stunned for a moment, tilted his head and looked at him strangely.
Oh? What does this mean? What kind of answer is this?
"I will convey it to you. If you come to the palace today and just want to say these things, you should leave as soon as possible to avoid being seen by others."
After understanding his purpose of coming this time, Bei Mingchen became normal, restored his usual rules of doing things, and wanted to send Shuo Jin away as soon as possible.
However, Shuojin's goal was not achieved. He didn't see the person he wanted to see, so how could he be willing to leave?
Shuojin continued to ask relentlessly, chatting with Bei Mingchen as implicitly as possible, and even used provocation to make him fulfill his wish.
"Brother, even if you want to hide your beauty in a golden house, you won't be like this, right?" "What kind of hiding your beauty in a golden house? Don't let your kid be discovered."
Bei Mingchen spoke to him disdainfully, and once again emphasized that he should leave quickly, but his eyes were not as firm as before, and seemed a bit erratic.
Shuojin was unwilling to give in. He pouted and looked at Bei Mingchen pitifully.
At this glance, he saw an ominous premonition in Bei Mingchen's eyes. Did he really hide Miss Xiyan?
Shuo Jin looked at Bei Mingchen intently. At this moment, Bei Mingchen's eyes were not as serious as when he usually gave orders to him. On the contrary, there was a trace of panic in his eyes.
How could Shuo Jin, who knew Bei Mingchen best, fail to notice his abnormality?
"Bei Mingchen, are you hiding something from me? Just tell me!"
Shuojin said seriously and in a questioning tone to Bei Mingchen. He subconsciously took two steps forward and got closer to him.
He can be nonchalant about anything, and he can pretend to be careless and cynical all day long. He can turn a blind eye to many things, and even if someone wants to hurt him, he can still laugh.
It's over.
The only thing that couldn't be done was about her. He wouldn't allow her to be harmed in the slightest. Not anyone else!
Shuojin's gaze was very sharp, like a scimitar, ready to stab Bei Mingchen at any time. Faced with such a sense of coercion, the last line of defense in Bei Mingchen's heart finally collapsed.
"Leave quickly, do you want to be discovered by others? Do you want our efforts for so long to be in vain?"
Bei Mingchen still told Shuojin to leave, but his words were far less confident than before. His words sounded very unconfident.
He did not dare to look directly at Shuo Jin, and instead looked at the big tree in the yard. Even so, he kept blinking nervously to hide his panic.
At this point, Shuojin finally understood that Bei Mingchen had said so much just to drive him away. From this point of view, his intuition was right.
"Where is she?" Shuo Jin said angrily to Bei Mingchen, clenching his teeth tightly together.
He put his hands on Bei Mingchen's shoulders, shook him violently, and looked directly at him, giving him no chance to dodge.
