It snowed heavily for several days, and the sky and ground were covered in dazzling white.
There was thick frost and snow in front of the inn, and the courtyard was cold. The stranded people all hid in the isolated village at the foot of the mountain across a stream behind it.
Before noon, there were fierce and noisy noises coming from the isolated village on the other side of the river. In the afternoon, these noises became louder, and towards the end of the day, chaotic and noisy shouts, curses, screams and roars suddenly broke out.
Chen Yunqi stood behind the window and looked at the fighting people in the distance, his eyebrows furrowed with sadness.
She has a pair of very beautiful eyebrows, which are lovely and charming, and when they are raised slightly, she has a pitiful character.
Someone knocked on the door softly, and Ji Xiahe's voice sounded: "Miss Chen."
Chen Yunqi closed the window sash and went to open the door.
"Mr. Ji." Chen Yunqi blessing ceremony.
"Are you ready to pack up?"
"I don't have anything else. I have packed it away." Chen Yunqi looked sideways at the small bundle on the table.
"Well, then, you can bring your things down later."
"good."
Ji Xiahe turned to leave, but Chen Yunqi called him out: "Mr. Ji."
"Huh?" Ji Xiahe turned around.
"It's freezing and snowy. Master Shen is on his way back and he really doesn't want to stop here. Why don't he rest for the night and leave again tomorrow morning?"
"It's already too late," Ji Xiahe sighed softly, "Time waits for us not, and I have to be careful about my time even if I want to drink water all the way back."
"In such a hurry?"
"You can rest for a while, and when you leave Youzhou, you won't have to endure this hardship with us. Don't worry, since we have decided to take you in, we will not let you have any worries."
"No, no," Chen Yunqi said hurriedly, "Mr. Ji, I am extremely grateful to you for bringing me out of Congxin Mansion."
Ji Xiahe smiled, stopped continuing, let her have a good rest, and left.
Chen Yunqi returned to the table, picked up the baggage on the table and sat down aside.
The noise of the quarrel outside the window became louder and louder, and she stopped looking. Along with the insults, her eyes gradually turned red.
What will the fleeing father look like? Will he also be involved in disputes of this kind?
And whether there will be a chance to see him again in this life.
In these troubled times, there are remains on the road. Once they are separated, will they be lost forever?
Chen Yunqi raised his hand to wipe away the tears that fell.
Although her father is a sinner and is shameless, he is still her father.
Care, companionship, and pampering since childhood are all true.
She lived to this age, and before anything happened, she had always been the apple of her parents' eyes, and a rich young lady in the eyes of others.
Her luxurious life, ability to read and write, and her reputation for being knowledgeable and sensible all came from the Chen family supported by her father.
No matter how bad or ruthless he is, he is still her father...
The more Chen Yunqi cried, the sadder she became, but she didn't dare to cry out, so she huddled up holding the baggage.
The wind and snow were so heavy that it was not until Youshi that Shen Lie and Xu Li reined in their horses in front of the inn.
It gets late in winter, and dark clouds and flying snow cover the sky. But it's only midnight and it's already as dark as the third watch of the night.
Wei Dongyou hurriedly stepped forward to lead their horses, while Zhai Jinsheng, with the help of the innkeeper, brought the carriage brought from Xin Mansion.
Ji Xiahe went upstairs to call Chen Yunqi. Chen Yunqi followed him downstairs and saw a carriage waiting outside, and Zhai Jinsheng was talking about her.
Xu Li choked out a sip of warm tea: "What woman? Jumped into the river?"
Shen Lie took off his fur that was covered with wind and snow, and now he was wearing a fresh and clean robe. He didn't show any vicissitudes of travel. He frowned when he heard this, but said nothing, waiting for Zhai Jinsheng to continue.
When Chen Yunqi saw Shen Lie, his eyes were startled. It was really him.
The young master they talk about, Brother Shen, that Young Master Shen.
Chen Yunqi's heart beat a little faster, and his steps downstairs became heavier, feeling both happy and afraid.
I was happy to see him again, but I was afraid that if he remembered that he was close to Ah Li, and Ah Li didn't like her, she might mention her fault in front of him...
As they came down, Shen Lie and Xu Li turned to look.
Chen Yunqi clenched the baggage in her hands, and the dark eyes he cast on her made her feel breathless.
"Brother Shen!" Ji Xia and Kaixin shouted, crossing Chen Yunqi and walking quickly towards Shen Lie, "Tell me, how did you spend that day and night? Is there any progress?"
Shen Lie's face was calm, he didn't say a word, and he lowered his head to drink the soup.
"Hehehe," Xu Li smiled beside him, "Miss Ah Li hugged the young master!"
"Oh, I'll go!" Ji Xiahe shouted, with gossip written all over his face, "Seriously? Seriously? How did you hold her?"
Wei Dongyou and Zhai Jinsheng, who had always been taciturn, could not stand still and hurriedly followed up with questions.
Xu Li couldn't control the desire to share in his body, and forced himself to ignore Shen Lie's icy eyes, and said excitedly: "They are right in front of me and Kang Jian! The young master has also hugged Miss Ali!"
Several men laughed, and Ji Xiahe even clapped.
Shen Lie resisted the urge to strangle Ji Xiahe to death and said in a deep voice: "What's wrong with a hug between friends?"
"Come on, come on," Ji Xiahe opened his arms, "Then let's give him a hug."
"roll."
Then several people laughed again.
The innkeeper and waiters didn't know what they were talking about, but the atmosphere created by laughter was contagious, and they also laughed.
Chen Yunqi stood aside with cold hands and feet, feeling quite embarrassed. As for what they said, she could understand the relationship.
It turns out that Mr. Shen, who is as handsome and cold as an immortal, has a one-sided love for the girl A Li.
It’s that Ah Li again.
"Oh, by the way," Ji Xiahe finished laughing and looked at Chen Yunqi, "Brother Shen, this is Miss Chen that Zhai Jinsheng just told you about."
Chen Yunqi raised his eyes anxiously and looked at Shen Lie.
These men are all very tall, and their thick winter clothes make them look burly and strong.
Shen Lie looked much better without his fur, but the invisible and intimidating aura on his body made Chen Yunqi even more depressed.
"Are you Chen Yunqi, Chen Yongming's daughter?" Shen Lie said lightly.
Chen Yunqi's eyes widened, as expected!
She did not mention her name to Ji Xia or them, only her surname was Chen.
Shen Lie said her name as soon as he opened his mouth, which showed that Ah Li really talked about her rights and wrongs in front of him!
"Do you know him?" Ji Xiahe asked Shen Lie.
Zhai Jinsheng and Wei Dongyou fell silent, looking at Chen Yunqi's pale and bloodless face.
They are all smart people, and they vaguely feel that this is not right.
"It doesn't count as acquaintance." Shen Lie said.
"Yes," the girl's voice trembled as she spoke, "I am Chen Yunqi..."
"I can't take her with me," Shen Lie looked at Wei Dongyou, "You stay here first, and you can send her back to the city at dawn tomorrow."
"Why?" Ji Xiahe was puzzled, "Zhiyan, what happened?"
"No, no!" Chen Yunqi took a step back, "Mr. Shen, you don't have to take me with you. I'll go by myself. I won't follow you anymore."
"This won't work," Zhai Jinsheng said loudly, "Right now, it's not safe anywhere outside Xin Mansion and within Youzhou. Since you followed us out, we can't ignore you. Wei Dongyou, please send her back." Bar."
"No, don't!" Chen Yunqi's tears fell. In desperation, she fell to her knees with a plop.
"Don't send me back," Chen Yunqi cried, "You can drive me away, but don't send me back, please!"
"Miss Chen!" Ji Xiahe hurriedly went to help her.
Chen Yunqi looked at Shen Lie and walked over on his knees: "Mr. Shen, I beg you, don't drive me away! Please!"
She knocked on the ground so hard that it hurt.
She seemed unaware of the pain and raised her head again.
Ji Xiahe stopped her and looked at Shen Lie: "Zhiyan, why don't you explain clearly what happened?"
"She should have made it clear to you. She has been with you for several days, but can she make it clear?" Shen Lie said lightly.
Chen Yunqi burst into tears, her eyes dim with tears, and she turned to look at Ji Xiahe.
"...Miss Chen, are you hiding anything from us?" Ji Xiahe asked.
