The two looked at each other wordlessly for a moment on the high platform.
Mi Lao sighed and walked to her side, "Too many things happened today, so I won't ask you for details. Come to grandpa's camp tomorrow."
Mi Xiayao quickly replied: "Yes."
The old man walked a few steps, then looked back at Pei Xingyuan, "You kid, come too."
"I understand, Master."
He responded to Mi Lao's words with a smile as always.
Under the stage, Rong Yuanzhou looked at the perfectly matched pair of handsome men and beautiful women. The moment he turned around, his original gentle expression suddenly dropped to freezing point, and he walked back to the tent gloomily.
With no outsiders around, Mi Xiayao motioned for Pei Xingyuan to come over.
After the scene of recognizing relatives on the high platform just now, everyone was surprised to see Pei Xingyuan walking beside Mi Xiayao.
When she returned to the tent, she asked him directly, "What do you mean? Why do you admit this?"
"If you don't admit it, just relying on Miao Qi's kidnapping charges, how much do you think you can get away with today?"
She frowned, "Isn't there an archer?"
"Do you think the Mi family can really beat the Miao family?"
He supported his waist with one hand, and there were faint blood stains from the bloody hole on his shoulder.
However, this man's expression remained calm.
Those red phoenix eyes were staring deeply at her.
Despite this, Mi Xiayao didn't think it was a good thing for Pei Xingyuan to recognize Mi Xiaobao.
During the conversation between the two people, at this moment, silence came first.
Mi Xiaobao was in her arms, tugging at her clothes and calling her mother with tears in her eyes.
After a while, he hugged her neck and rubbed her neck.
When Pei Xingyuan saw this boy's appearance, the tip of his tongue pressed against his cheek impatiently.
"He's sleepy."
"Song Qiao, take your young master to bed."
Pei Xingyuan's two sentences were all firm affirmations.
"Madam..." Song Qiao looked at her uneasily.
The child was lost from her hands. The matter was so serious that Madam has not yet asked her for questioning...
At this time, Song Qiao didn't want to stand aside in fear anymore when he accepted Master Pei's words.
She wanted to know how the lady would punish her.
"Aqiao, you take the children to rest first. I have arranged for two more women to guard the entrance of the tent."
She handed Mi Xiaobao over and glanced at Song Qiao.
After getting through the other party's guilty mood, she paused for a moment and patted the back of Song Qiao's hand.
He reassured: "I don't blame you for this matter. It's because I didn't prepare an extra person to take care of the child. It's hard for you to take care of both."
"I'm going out for a while and I'll be back soon."
After saying that, she stood up, glanced at Pei Xingyuan and walked out.
Pei Xingyuan had this intention.
People in the camp gradually went into their tents to rest.
There were too many things happening today, too much gossip, and the outside of the camp was actually a little empty at the moment.
They walked to a place where there were no tents or crowds. In the empty flat land in front of them, the night breeze blew slightly.
"Since you are completely a grasshopper on the same boat, let's open the skylight and speak out."
She stood still and turned back to look firmly at the man in front of her.
"When you came to Jingzhou City, you just accepted the prince's offer. In fact, your real purpose was something else, wasn't it?"
Pei Xingyuan looked at the woman in front of him calmly with his deep eyes.
She can always detect half of his plans.
He didn't hide it anymore and answered the sentence, "Yes."
"For Mi Xiaobao?"
"I can't tell you now," Pei Xingyuan's deep eyes revealed more emotions, "Now it's my turn."
He took a step forward, and the distance between him and her became closer.
"When did you know my plan?"
His gaze looking down was even more unwavering.
"When I met the killer in the suburbs of Jingzhou City, I guessed that you had other thoughts about this child, otherwise..."
She paused for a moment, as if she was thinking about how to say her words so as not to be so harsh.
But Pei Xingyuan quickly understood what she meant.
"That's why you took the initiative to cooperate with me because you were sure that I would escort you to the capital. You just don't want to owe me this favor."
"Yes or no."
He half-squinted his red phoenix eyes. This sentence was not a question, but a firm affirmation.
Although the spring night wind is cool, it can also be biting after blowing for a long time.
Mi Xiayao gathered the shawl around her body and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "Master Pei is easy to understand. It should be quite pleasant to cooperate in the future."
"What I said was that you didn't want to go forward in the woods at that time... You didn't distance yourself from me like this."
His brows turned cold, and his playful smile, filled with teasing and cunning, awakened Mi Xiayao's memory that was still confused just now.
"Mi Xiayao, you promised me three opportunities, and I risked my life to save you. You can't really ignore my feelings, can you?"
His lowered hand grasped Mi Xiayao's slender wrist, and he led her to touch the wound on his chest and shoulder.
Pei Xingyuan was always observing her expression and reaction, and saw that the other party's expression seemed to indicate a vague intention of avoiding her.
The strength in his hands gradually increased.
Instead, Mi Xiayao's fingertips were forced to press harder on his wound.
Soon, my fingertips were wet.
"What are you doing!" It was rare to see panic in her eyes.
He hurriedly pulled his hand away, only to see that his fingertips were stained with blood.
She was about to wipe it when a hand with sharp bones came across her eyes and held the back of her hand.
The next moment, the warm mouth was filled with the weak pressure of her restless fingers.
In addition to being soft to the touch, you can also vaguely feel the tongue coating.
She was completely panicked this time.
"I just wanted to awaken someone's conscience a little bit."
Mi Xiayao became a little angry, "It's not like I have no conscience! You speak nicely, what do you mean by this?!"
She pointed at the sparkle on her fingertips, and there was vaguely suppressed anger in her beautiful eyes.
Pei Xingyuan has a calm temperament, and his response to her words is lukewarm and unhurried.
"not understand?"
He raised his index finger and slightly bent it to rub her smooth cheek, and said softly: "I am now your lover in everyone's eyes. The prince's love for you is still lingering. It is inevitable that we will have sex in the future."
She frowned to retort.
Pei Xingyuan seemed to have guessed what she was going to say, so his index finger fell in front of her lips and pressed lightly.
He sunk his eyes deeply and stared at the soft red lips for only a brief moment.
He raised his eyelids and looked at each other.
"It's not just a show off last time," he curled his lips, "The capital is no better than those small cities. Everyone is full of smart people. If you don't do something practical, how can you deceive them?"
Mi Xiayao looked at Pei Xingyuan in front of her in astonishment.
She... always felt that ever since she exposed this man's scheme, his treatment of her had changed.
"What? What kind of exchange do you want for this cooperation?"
He took back his hand calmly and looked at Mi Xiayao, who was rarely stunned in front of him. The smile hidden in his deep eyes was vaguely visible.
"This cooperation gives us a chance." She said quietly.
Pei Xingyuan didn't seem surprised, he responded readily.
