Nangong Ximo was startled, his eyes fell on her flushed face, and his lips pursed, "You..."
"Su Chen." A cold to cold voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them.
Nangong Ximo's unspoken words stopped abruptly.
The two of them turned around and looked at the same time.
Xia Li didn't know when he had walked over, staring at Su Chen with his shining jewel-like eyes.
Su Chen glanced behind him and realized that Liu Xian'er had left at some point.
"What for?" Su Chen said angrily. The blow he received from Nangong Ximo just now turned into a wave of resentment, which happened to be thrown at Xia Li.
Xia Li narrowed his eyes slightly, raised a smile with unknown meaning at the corner of his mouth, but said to Nangong Ximo: "Ximo, go back first, and I will find you later."
"Okay." Nangong Ximo knew that he had something to tell Su Chen, so he nodded and looked at Su Chen before leaving.
Xia Li caught Nangong Ximo's gaze and was slightly surprised. When did this guy become interested in a maid?
This idea had just turned around when he caught a glimpse of the maid he was talking about. Her big eyes were looking at the direction Nangong Ximo was leaving without blinking.
"Su Chen, don't look at men with such hungry expressions."
Su Chen was still lamenting that Nangong Ximo's back was so elegant and indifferent, but when he heard this sentence unexpectedly, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Turning back to look at Xia Li, he narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't expect this man to have such a vicious tongue! It's hard to imagine that the word 'hungry' came out of the mouth of this gentle-looking man.
Thinking about it, he said angrily: "So what? Anyway, it's not the kind of expression you show to the prince. Although I am your slave, what is in my heart does not hinder you, right?" Tsk,
Hungry? She is still hungry!
Xia Li raised his eyebrows, "You are staring at a man eagerly and you are speaking righteously?"
"Why not?" Su Chen imitated his raised eyebrows, "This slave neither steals nor robs, and she is fair and aboveboard. Unlike some people who always do things that are despised by the world, and don't do anything.
Let others discuss it."
The meaning of her words was very obvious. Not only did she mean that he had an improper orientation, but it also alluded to the fact that he asked her to refute the rumors.
Xia Li's expression changed, and a trace of annoyance flashed across his gentle and jade-like face, "Didn't I ask you to refute the rumors? Why are the servants in the house still talking about it?" His face looked a little ugly. All morning, no matter where he went,
He could hear his subordinates secretly talking about him, which made him very uncomfortable. Although his heart was so strong that he no longer cared about other people's opinions, hearing his subordinates talking about him behind his back still made him somewhat agitated.
Unpleasant. Because this incident reminded him of the incident many years ago.
