The butler's affirmative tone finally convinced Xia Li. His originally gloomy complexion now had a brilliance that turned the clouds and revealed the moon.
Lu Yan, who was catching up from behind, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. Fortunately, Miss Su was back, otherwise something big would have happened this time.
After separating from Nangong Ximo, Su Chen went straight to the servant's room in the backyard.
She has been missing for so long. I wonder how Hu Lan's illness is doing?
Because I was thinking about Hu Lan, I didn't notice the people walking towards me.
"This girl is still so reckless." Yue Lang's cheerful voice suddenly came.
Su Chen, who had been walking with his head down, raised his head and called out warmly: "Brother..."
Yue Lang nodded, his handsome face full of a comforting smile, walked up to her, rubbed her hair, and sighed softly: "It'll be good when I'm back."
This kind of pure care made Su Chen feel strangely warm in her heart. Before she could say anything else, a light cough suddenly came from the side. She turned her head. When she saw someone, the happy look on her face became obviously stiff. He froze and murmured for a long time before reluctantly shouting: "Your Majesty."
Xia Li kept staring at her. Hearing her distant tone, his heart suddenly tightened and he pursed his lips, but did not speak. Seeing bruises in many places on her face, his dark eyes flashed with distress. , I think she has indeed suffered these days.
The fingers hanging on the sides of his clothes were curled up tightly, and he glanced at Yue Lang standing next to him.
"Girl, you're finally back. If you don't come back, someone is going to go crazy." Yue Lang glanced at someone with a narrow smile in his eyes, winked at Su Chen, and landed in a smart way. Yan retreated.
As soon as the two left, the huge garden suddenly became empty, and an awkward silence spread between the two.
Su Chen slightly raised his eyes and looked at Xia Li. When he saw that he was silent, he said, "I'll take my leave first."
Xia Li's body trembled, and he looked at her with dark eyes. She deliberately called her, as if she wanted to draw a clear line between the two of them, with a clear cruelty.
Su Chen didn't look at him, turned around and left, but his sad laughter suddenly came from behind.
She paused as she stepped forward, bit her lip, and when she was about to continue walking, a warm breath came from her, and the next moment, she was hugged tightly from behind.
Su Chen didn't expect him to do this. He was stunned there, forgetting to react. His nose was filled with the faint fragrance that only belonged to him, and his thoughts were suddenly confused.
Being held tightly in his arms, Su Chen's face turned red from suppressing it. She heard his rapid breathing in her ears. She reached out to push his hand away, but she froze there. Such Xia Li made her feel a little agitated. I was at a loss and couldn't push him away no matter what.
"What should I do to make you accept my feelings for you?" came Xia Li's muffled voice, which could not hide the grievance and sorrow in his tone.
Su Chen's nervousness suddenly disappeared. He couldn't help but roll his eyes. This fox was really...
Looking back, I saw that his white jaw was tense and his sexy lips were also pursed tightly, as if he was suppressing some emotion, and his deep eyes were lowered, with a hint of melancholy. .
"Thank you for coming back safely." Xia Li suddenly sighed lowly, but there was a gentleness in his tone that could not be ignored. And his deep voice also contained a sense of relief.
Su Chen was startled when he heard this, and countless complicated feelings surged into his heart.
She had thought about staying away from this man countless times, but why did she feel a certain attachment to him when she heard his words at this moment?
Su Chen was startled by her own thoughts. Nostalgia? She was nostalgic for the tenderness Xia Li released at this moment?
Somewhat belatedly, she discovered something strange in her heart.
Xia Li's voice was full of some kind of tenderness. Her eyes suddenly opened wide, staring at Xia Li in disbelief, but her heart felt inexplicably sweet. She was suddenly a little confused, but after what he said before
, but she did not respond immediately because she still had her own concerns.
Sensing her gaze, Xia Li lowered his eyes, and their eyes immediately became entangled. Su Chen was a little embarrassed, as if he was a child who had done something wrong. When he was about to break away from him, his hand was held tightly.
There was a hint of pleading in Xia Li's tone, "Don't leave me again, okay?"
Su Chen stared blankly at the affection pouring out of his narrow eyes. She couldn't help but want to nod, but the remaining trace of reason stopped her.
What he said contained too many meanings. If she nodded now, she would probably have no chance to regret it in the future.
Xia Liruo's deep and beautiful jewel-like eyes looked at her expectantly.
Su Chen looked away, unable to bear to look into his eyes. She wanted to reject what he said, but when the words reached her lips, she swallowed them.
Xia Li looked at her silently for a while and then said in a low voice: "You don't have to promise me anything right away. You just came back and you still have a lot of time. You can think about it carefully before replying to me."
Su Chen said nothing and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xia Li lowered his eyes to look at her, and saw that her hair on the temples was a little messy, so he couldn't help but lift his fingers to help her tie it up.
When his eyes touched Yu Qing's cheeks and her increasingly thin face, her heart ached, and she blamed herself: "It's my fault, I didn't protect you well."
Su Chen shook his head and lowered his head, but his nose couldn't help but feel sour, and his eye circles were already red.
When Qian'er tortured and abused her, she didn't even cry. But now, because of his few words, she felt extremely wronged in her heart.
"Su Yatou, Su Yatou..."
At this time, a burst of shouting came from far and near.
Su Chen reflexively wanted to jump away from Xia Li's arms, but the arms tightly wrapped around her waist were like iron clamps at this moment, preventing her from moving.
"Auntie is here, please let me go." Su Chen's cheeks turned red from holding back. Seeing that Xia Li had no intention of letting go, Su Chen became anxious immediately.
"Why do you want to let go? Is it embarrassing to be with this king?" Xia Li saw that she was eager to distance herself from him and distance herself. His face darkened and he said displeasedly.
Su Chen was speechless. What kind of temper was this guy playing? Didn't we just agree? But now that he didn't look depressed, he still subconsciously explained: "No, I just..." She was actually afraid of being raped by Hu Lan.
Seeing the two people's intimate behavior at this moment, she would feel embarrassed. To be honest, she was not that open yet.
"Just what?" The voice was cold, the long eyebrows were slightly raised, but there was a hint of a smile at the corner of the mouth.
