Su Chen was startled by his extreme appearance at this time. She heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, and she wanted to scratch the wall anxiously, but Xia Li seemed to be doing it on purpose and didn't want to let go at all.
mean.
Su Chen gritted his teeth, but seemed unable to do anything to him.
Seeing her embarrassed and anxious look, Xia Li chuckled unconsciously.
"hehe……"
Su Chen was startled by his sudden laughter and felt a little frightened. What was wrong with this guy?
Su Chen looked at him hesitantly, but when he saw the smile spreading from the corner of his mouth, he couldn't help but be fascinated, and forgot that he had to get rid of him just a moment ago.
While I was thinking wildly, Hu Lan had already walked over.
Hu Lan's originally chubby face looked a little sunken when he looked over it, and his expression looked a bit haggard. The eyes looking at Su Chen were full of worry.
As usual, Su Chen wanted to make fun of her, but at this time, Su Chen couldn't help but feel a sore nose when he saw her appearance. She knew that Hu Lan was really worried about her. Thinking about it, she shouted warmly
Said: "Auntie, I'm back."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Su Chen shouted, Hu Lan scolded her, "You damn girl, you disappeared without a trace and made me worry every day..."
Su Chen rolled her eyes helplessly, but she suddenly heard the sound of Hu Lan sobbing. She was startled, and became a little at a loss when she saw the tears clearly flowing on Hu Lan's cheeks.
No, Hu Lan, who is so strong, is actually crying?
Before she could react, she felt her arms tighten and she was pulled out of Xia Li's arms, followed by a warm and generous embrace.
"Damn girl, you are really heartless. If something happens to you, how should I explain to your dead mother?"
Hu Lan held Su Chen tightly in her arms, murmuring with a mixture of crying sounds in her mouth.
Such a situation caught Su Chen off guard, and Hu Lan was probably so excited to see Su Chen back that she used a lot of force. Su Chen was pressed tightly in her arms, with a small face pressed softly against hers.
His chest was red from holding back.
She doesn't want to eat such "tofu"!
Su Chen screamed in her heart, and she subconsciously turned to Xia Li for help, only to see that guy looking up at the sky.
Su Chen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. This fox is very unreliable!
"Uh, aunt, didn't I come back safely?" After a while, Su Chen awkwardly reached out and patted Hu Lan on the back, comforting her.
Hu Lan gradually stopped sobbing, but the corners of her eyes were still red. She slightly let go of Su Chen, wiped the water stains on her face with her sleeves, and then looked at Su Chen, and saw obvious signs of pain on her face.
When there were a few bruises, there was another burst of heartache, and then he said angrily: "Which one of you is the one who tortured you like this? I curse him to be 'suppressed' for the rest of his life, and he'd better get Hualiu disease again..."
When Su Chen heard this, he looked at her dumbfounded.
What is Hu Lan talking about? Although Qian'er is indeed suffering from Hualiu, is Hu Lan saying this at this time intentional or unintentional?
Sure enough, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xia Li's face stiffen for a moment.
Hu Lan seemed to realize that something was wrong with her words. She turned to Xia Li and smiled awkwardly: "Well, Prince, I didn't notice that you were still around. I didn't mean you, because you don't really have flowers..."
Hu Lan's voice gradually became quieter as she spoke. Maybe she also felt that it was getting darker and darker.
Su Chen had no idea that Hu Lan would say these words. He turned to look at Xia Li and saw him glaring at her fiercely.
Su Chen shrank his shoulders. With Xia Li's expression, he probably thought she had said something to Hu Lan, right? Ah, she was wronged! But this can't be blamed on Hu Lan. Who made Xia Li have rumors about Hua Liu that time?
She arranged it!
Su Chen rolled his eyes, quickly changed the subject, and looked at Hu Lan again. Although Hu Lan looked a little haggard, she was in good spirits. After she left, she asked doubtfully: "Auntie, are you recovered?"
When Hu Lan heard this, his eyes flickered a little, and he hesitated for a long time before saying, "Yes, thanks to the doctor the prince invited, he is fine now."
"That's good." Su Chen looked at her and said thoughtfully. He glanced at Xia Li at the same time, feeling that the two of them seemed to be hiding something from her.
Now that Hu Lan has recovered from her illness, there is no reason for her to stay in the palace. Xia Li happened to be here, so she said, "Auntie, since you have recovered from your illness, let's leave."
As soon as she finished speaking, the expressions of the two people standing next to her changed at the same time.
Hu Lan looked at Xia Li with some confusion. Xia Li's face had completely darkened at this time, and he sneered: "Is it true that you stay in Prince Li's Mansion and leave as soon as you say?"
Su Chen was startled, then saw Xia Li's displeased expression, "Then what do you want?"
"When Hu Lan was seriously ill, you begged to stay, but you disappeared when you stayed. You didn't do any of your responsibilities. Shouldn't you finish your responsibilities before leaving?"
When Xia Li said the latter part, he almost said it through gritted teeth.
Su Chen could imagine how dissatisfied Xia Li was with her!
The words of argument came to her lips and she swallowed them down. In fact, Xia Li was right. She had asked to stay as a slave because of Hu Lan's illness. Now Hu Lan was cured.
, but she didn't bother to leave at all. From this point of view, she was indeed trying to burn bridges by crossing the river.
Thinking about it, she spread her hands and said boldly: "Then what do you want your slave to do? Just tell me."
The corner of Xia Li's mouth raised a slight arc, but his expression was very serious and he said: "From today on, you will continue to serve me and make up for all the days you have missed."
Su Chen was stunned, right? Just when he was about to protest, his arms suddenly tightened. Xia Li pulled her and strode towards Jifeng Residence.
I turned around and wanted to ask Hu Lan for help, but she didn't expect that she waved her hands excitedly and encouraged: "Go, go, serve the prince well."
Su Chen's face was full of dark lines. Why did her phrase "serve" sound like it had another meaning?
The head that turned back was suddenly pushed back by a big hand. Xia Li came close to her with a handsome face and said jokingly: "Have you heard, please serve me well."
Looking at the malicious and handsome face in front of her, she wanted to punch him so much! But obviously, if she was to use force, she would be the one to suffer.
She bared her teeth and smiled, "I will definitely serve the prince with all my heart."
Xia Li raised his eyebrows slightly and blinked at her, "I will wait and see."
Su Chen almost slipped. Damn it, monster, do you dare to be more explicit?!
