She couldn't let the jade piece leave her body, otherwise she would be in disaster.
"Can't you show it to me?" Duanmu Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked, looking at her behavior of not having three hundred taels of silver here.
"I'm sorry, Master, I really don't have anything worth grabbing." It's strange, how did the dealer know that she had the Bagua Jade Pendant on her? Judging from his actions, it seemed that he wanted to rob her of the Bagua Jade Pendant.
Well, she suddenly thought of the arm lying on the ground. Her face suddenly turned pale, and she felt as if all the warmth in her body had been drained away, which made her shiver with chills. His arm was touched by the young master's softness.
The sword cut it off, and she looked at the man in front of her with a little fear.
"Are you scared?" Looking at the frightened look on her face, Duanmu Xiu slightly closed his eyes, feeling an unbearable strangeness in his heart.
His face seemed to be a little lonely because of her look. He thought that the croupier wanted to do her harm, so he took action against him. He swung the sword for her, how could he
Her heart? Xiahou Xiyue thought to herself, then blurted out: "No, I'm not afraid."
"Are you really not afraid?" A timid woman like her would not be afraid of the croupier after knowing that he cut off the croupier's hand with his sword? Duanmu Xiu raised his eyebrows at her in astonishment.
"It's because the young master wanted to protect me that he swung the sword, so I'm not afraid." At that time, she was frightened and fainted. That was because she couldn't stand the fright. But now, knowing his motives, how could she be afraid of someone who wanted to protect him?
Where is her man?
"Who said I want to protect you? You are quite sentimental." Looking at her serious look at him, the softness in his heart seemed to be touched, but that feeling made him intuitively want to destroy, and his face turned cold.
, the corner of his lips curled up with a touch of sarcastic mockery.
Huh? Wasn’t the atmosphere just now good? Why did he suddenly change his face?
"Master..." Wouldn't it be embarrassing to admit that he was protecting her? Xiahou Xiyue's face couldn't help but darken.
"You should have a good rest. Don't go out alone if you have nothing to do recently, you know?" Before the matter was clear, it was better for her to stay at home and be safer. Duanmu Xiu interrupted her with a commanding tone.
"I know." Xiahou Xiyue originally wanted to protest, but her hand holding the jade pendant tightened and she stopped resisting.
Duanmu glanced at her, his sharp eyes scanning her chest thoughtfully, and then left the room.
Hearing the sound of the door being closed, Xiahou Xiyue slowly released her hand, took out the green and transparent Bagua jade pendant from the lapel of her clothes, and placed it in the palm of her hand.
"How did the croupier know that I had this jade pendant on me? Why did he want to steal my jade pendant?" The sunlight shining through the window reflected on the green jade surface, glowing with a faint light. What did Xiahou Xiyue think?
I can't even figure it out. She never shows this jade pendant to anyone. It's really strange.
One by one one by one
Ever since Xiahou Xiyue was attacked by the dealer, she had been grounded. Without Duanmu Xiu's permission, she really couldn't leave the house for even half a step. Even the short journey back to Xiang Nan's home was followed by bodyguards.
It's almost crazy.
In Duanmu's house, apart from helping Duanmu Xiu take medicine, she was not required to do anything else, which made her feel bored and panicked.
