The moonlight was very white and bright, shining like snow on the courtyard and the deserted streets outside the courtyard. The fallen leaves seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and the surroundings were very quiet.
Xie Yunshu should have been lucky to have escaped Qiao Ye's jurisdiction, but instead she felt a little lost and empty. Now that she has run away, will he continue to eat at the table? Will he put the dishes she likes? It's all gone and there's nothing left for her?
The light in the living room cast a warm glow on her back through the window glass. Shen Ce stood quietly in the courtyard waiting for her to be in a daze, listening carefully to the sounds in the room. There was no unnecessary movement. Qiao Ye should still be sitting at the dining table.
After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Why don't you go back? It's a bit cold at night." She looked like she was regretting coming out. And he was also afraid that being alone with her at night would accidentally remind her of the painful memories of that night. That's not good.
Hearing his words, Xie Yunshu came back to her senses. She raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her. He was very strong and upright. He also knew how to read her words and expressions, and noticed her little emotions.
After dinner, she should go for a walk with Qiao Ye. What kind of strange thing did she do? Husband, don’t be angry. But it’s not good for two people to get tired of being together all the time. She shook her head and forced herself to make up her mind: " No, it’s good to take a walk to relieve your appetite." His tone seemed relaxed.
The choice was hers, and he would not interfere. Seeing that she still did not regret it after hesitating, Shen Ce turned around and walked towards the wall of the front yard, saying calmly: "Okay, let's go."
Xie Yunshu followed him a few steps, but when she saw that he had not walked out of the yard, she asked, "Are you just going around the yard?" She thought she was going to make a full circle outside.
"Yes." He responded lightly. Anyway, he could observe the surroundings clearly in the yard.
Xie Yunshu saw him stop and fumble around the edge of a flower bed, tilted his head and said with a smile: "Hidden weapons in the corner again?" Since the last time she found a dagger under the carpet, she has never found anything else in the house, probably He must be too secretive.
He raised his ink-like eyes to look at her and asked, "Do you want to take a look?" In fact, he had placed weapons in every corner to prevent someone from invading and running away with her or the child but he was unarmed. When he did this, I just want to elicit the following words.
She hurriedly declined: "No, it's okay if you know." She wouldn't do anything if she knew, but she kept it in her heart. It was better not to know, because those who don't know are not guilty.
Shen Ce pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Maybe one day you will need to take up arms to protect the people you love." She has no ambitions and is used to being carefree, but she never thought that there would be danger approaching her. .
"For example?" She didn't hear the warning in his words at all, and she still had a pure smile on her face, looking like she was wandering in a quiet night.
He reminded: "Have you ever thought about Qiao Mengzhe? He was sent to prison by Qiao Ye, and he will never let it go." Judging from the previous behavior of finding someone to kidnap her, that person is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he will repay Qiao Ye's injustice. , will not stop.
Xie Yunshu was puzzled and thought for a while and said, "He is already in prison, what else can I do?" She had never seriously thought about everything about Qiao Mengzhe, fearing that the more she reasoned about it, the more she would become confused and even have wild thoughts.
She was so innocent that she thought that people in prison would not be a threat, so she replied: "Maybe, as long as he has money, he can still control everything outside." He believed that he must be right on this point, but Qiao didn't know. Ye had thought about it. He told her now that he just needed to make some mental preparations for her.
Hearing this serious topic made her feel really panicked. "Well, he is such a bad guy and can't be burned out." She agreed.
He leaned over slightly and picked up a small flower on the lawn, holding it in his hand to play with. After thinking about it, he smiled and said confidently: "With you here, I have nothing to be afraid of." The flower seemed to have no fragrance, but also seemed to carry something with it. Lightly scented.
Shen Ce looked at her as she was still focused. Even though he had made it clear, she still didn't notice at all, so he could only reply: "Thank you for your trust in me." Qiao Ye handed her and the child over to him, and she also handed her over. If he handed it over to him, Qiao Mengzhe would fight back sooner or later, and he would never let them down when the time came.
After walking around the front yard, Xie Yunshu felt that he was almost taking a leisurely stroll. Only his serious expression seemed to be that he was patrolling. She looked around, but there was no one there, and asked curiously: "Can you notice if there is someone around?"
Shen Ce didn't expect that she would ask this, and replied: "It's necessary, how many people can feel it." In other words, he has developed a professional characteristic and can sense the approach of danger. On the battlefield, this kind of sensitivity You can save your own life.
She was surprised: "So powerful?" Looking around, this courtyard only covers an area of 200 square meters. In such a large area, she couldn't even notice that there were several more people. She said to him beside her: "I don't believe it." Shen Ce, you are so powerful, just prove it to me.
It was still dark at night, there was no light in many places and nothing could be seen.
His eyebrows moved slightly, he visually inspected the surroundings, and said to her: "You should be familiar with this yard than me. Why don't you find a place to hide and see if I can detect where you are hiding, and it's not in front of you." Professional man You can hold your breath, she is just an ordinary person and very easy to find.
Xie Yunshu became interested when he heard this, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Okay, you wait in the front yard first, and I will hide in the backyard." The backyard is so big that he can search for a while, and he can't get close.
"Yes." Shen Ce remained calm and stood looking at her. Is this a sign of her sexual nature?
She added: "No peeking."
He had no choice but to turn around and said, "This is not hide-and-seek." She looked so carefree that he could find her even with his eyes closed, so why bother peeking.
"Hmph, I want to see what you're capable of." Xie Yunshu walked away with a smile, not forgetting to look back to see if he was peeking.
"Go." Shen Ce closed his eyes and attentively heard voices talking in the living room. It was Qiao Ye and Butler Feng. Her breathing gradually followed her footsteps as she walked away.
She said to his back: "You count to sixty, and I will hide." She had already thought of where to hide, and it was definitely a place he wouldn't expect.
"Yeah." Shen Ce smiled helplessly in his heart. She was obviously playing hide-and-seek with him, but in fact, his original intention was to let her have a deeper understanding of his abilities and build trust. This is very important when protecting her. of.
Xie Yunshu walked quietly to the backyard, and then realized that there were no lights in the backyard. Except for the light from the windows of the house, there was no other lighting. Going in through the back window, Qiao Ye was no longer in the restaurant. The lights on the first floor were on, but no one could be seen. .
Did he go upstairs in anger? In the study or with the baby? Or in her room?
