Chapter 70 What's wrong with you
The prince didn't say anything, but remembered the scene of seeing Ye Mingzhu for the first time. He bumped into him but panicked away. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't seem to use means... unless... that time was also pretending! If so, then her scheming is too deep to be guarded! It's enough to see through these and prevent them. Don't let her get close to Lin Qian!
"I'm apologizing to you!" Ye Ming tilted her head and looked at the thoughtful prince and said, "I'm sorry. You should reply."
The prince looked at Ye Mingzhu with deep eyes and said for a while, "I didn't say I would accept your apology. Why did you reply?"
"Ah?" Ye Mingzhu blinked first, then sighed heavily and said with some regret, "I apologized. How can you not accept it... I didn't break you!"
"Tell me who made you approach Lin Qian. As long as you say it, I will accept your apology. Moreover, I can guarantee your safety." The prince didn't see Ye Mingzhu's motives, and she didn't show any Reluctance when she said she wanted to take her away just now. Is it really as simple as she said?
However, Ye Mingzhu's performance was too different before and after. The prince would rather believe that someone instructed her to do so, but after listening to his serious question, Ye Mingzhu showed a doubtful look and didn't look like she was instructed.
"What are you doing to get close to Sister Lin?" Ye Mingzhu asked so rhetorical.
She has been unable to figure out why the prince always asks her questions about Lin Qian. How could she know... She has only seen it twice in total, not to mention that she and Lin Qian can't have anything to do with it.
The prince was speechless. In the face of Ye Mingzhu's inexplicable eyes, he did not know whether his conjecture was correct. He could not prove that Ye Mingzhu was instructed and could not fully believe the reason Ye Mingzhu said. Maybe he can only see something after waiting for a long time.
Just when the prince asked Ye Mingzhu that it was fruitless, Lin Qian also sent his servants to be busy, and he quickly walked upstairs.
Lin Qian vigorously pushed the door open. The room was extremely cold, and in addition to some faint light reflected outside the window, it was dark. She did not have the night vision ability of ordinary snakes, so she could not find Xiao Huan's figure at the first time, so she asked tentatively, "Are you there?"
"There." Xiaohuan's deep voice sounded on the bed, clear and quiet, but in the middle of the night, Lin Qian heard a trace of loneliness.
Lin Qian walked to the wooden table and said, "You haven't slept. Why don't you light a candle?" Even the charcoal fire won't continue. You're not cold!"
"If you don't come back, it's the same if I light a candle or not." Xiaohuan said that he didn't need to light candles, which meant that he could fully see it and didn't need light at all, but Lin Qian heard it, but he felt that Xiaohuan meant to blame her.
Xiaohuan didn't mention the charcoal fire because he didn't notice that the charcoal fire was almost completely extinguished. He came back from outside and didn't notice that the house was not warm enough. Moreover, although snakes are afraid of cold, they have also practiced and improved their cultivation in the ice in order to hone themselves. Although they are afraid of cold, they just don't like it.
Why don't you sleep? It's so late." Lin Qian originally wanted to come back and question Xiaohuan about the night pearl, but in the flashing candlelight, Xiaohuan sat quietly by the couch, his eyes drooped, and there was no usual arrogance. Looking at the harmlessness of people and animals, Lin Qian didn't know how to ask.
"I'm waiting for you." Xiaohuan raised his head, looked at Lin Qian standing at the table and said slowly, "I'm waiting for you to see if you will come back."
"Of course I have to come back, otherwise where can I go?" Lin Qian always felt that something was wrong with Xiaohuan, so he went to Xiaohuan and sat down. He looked at Xiaohuan and asked, "What's wrong with you? I always feel that you are weird today. Are you still uncomfortable?
Xiaohuan heard Lin Qian's concern, but still smiled quietly and asked, "Is Ye Mingzhu embarrassing you?"
"I was just about to ask you this." Lin Qian frowned and said, "Do you know where she came back from?" Didn't you see that she was wet and embarrassed. On such a cold day, she..."
"I threw her away." Xiaohuan interrupted Lin Qian's words and said, "She is a night pearl, which is valuable in the eyes of human beings. I wanted to send her back to the original place, but it was really not suitable for her, so I put her in the river outside the city, but I didn't expect her to find it back."
"Did you throw it away? When? How can you do this?" Lin Qian heard Mo Ge say that it was a night pearl, so when Xiao Huan said it, she was not too surprised.
Lin Qian's series of questions made Xiaohuan frown. This was the first woman to question his behavior in this way, but he did not pause too much, but looked at Lin Qian faintly and said, "When I picked her up, I saw that you were unhappy. Since you were unhappy, I would naturally send her away."
"If I'm not happy, just throw her away... What's the practice..." Lin Qian said this, suddenly smiled, narrowed his eyes, and deliberately said, "Do you like me? So I'm worried that I will be jealous?"
Xiaohuan frowned again when he heard this, but he saw Lin Qian's ghostly expression, with a prank in his eyes, so he said quietly, "Since you have guessed it, I have nothing to hide. Tell me, do you like me?"
"Ah?" Lin Qian originally wanted Xiaohuan to eat and make the atmosphere more lively. Unexpectedly, Xiaohuan didn't refuse to come at all, so she smiled and quickly got up and said, "I almost forgot that the guest asked me to take the wine just now. I'll go to work first. You go to bed quickly. It's not early."
"Wait." Xiaohuan took Lin Qian's wrist and said, "It's just an answer to a question. I'll let you go after answering."
Lin Qian's smile was frozen on his face, and he smiled unnaturally and said, "Don't talk about such a profound problem at night. How good it would be to talk about it tomorrow..."
"Tomorrow?" Xiaohuan looked at Lin Qian trying to avoid his eyes and smiled silently, "Then let's do it tomorrow."
"Yes...that's right." Lin Qian looked at the unfathomable Xiaohuan and hurriedly said, "Let me go first. I won't run away. It's too cold in the room. Let me light a charcoal fire for you."
Xiao Huan let go of Lin Qian when he heard the words, and Lin Qian hurried to the brazier and squatted down.
The original skillful action of burning charcoal fire shook a little under the hot gaze of Xiao Huan, but Xiao Huan had no intention of helping at all. He looked at Lin Qian nervously. After the charcoal fire was burning, Lin Qian got up and said to Xiaohuan, "Go to bed early. I'm going to be busy."
After saying that, Lin Qian ran out of the door, but still heard Xiaohuan's voice ringing behind her and said, "If you say you don't like me tomorrow, I will eat you."
Looking at Lin Qian's fleeing back, Xiao Huan silently smiled. Since Lin Qian did not ask about Ye Mingzhu, he only waited for Ye Mingzhu to complete what he expected.
Watching everything change, he believed that with the simple and kind nature of Ye Mingzhu, the prince soon had no time to miss Lin Qian.
Lin Qian walked downstairs without completely calming down. She was so nervous that she completely forgot her blood spell with Xiaohuan. Xiaohuan would definitely not do anything to her. But she still couldn't help thinking about the meaning of Xiaohuan's words. She didn't understand whether Xiaohuan really liked her just now? But... how is this possible! The old snake demon should hate her so much!
Lin Qian thought about it and felt that Xiaohuan's words were more interesting. Thanks to her kindness, she was worried that Xiaohuan was not feeling well. Unexpectedly, Xiaohuan was determined to see her make a fool of herself. Lin Qian had determined in her heart that Xiaohuan was intentional. Therefore, her face became more and more gloomy, and her silver teeth creaked, but she couldn't help looking for Xiaohuan's theory. She thought of a good way to make Xiaohuan make a fool of herself once!
But in fact, Xiaohuan didn't think so much, let alone want to see Lin Qian blush, but followed Lin Qian's words to stop Lin Qian from asking Ye Mingzhu in such a way.
Lin Qian didn't return to his room all night, but the next morning, he went upstairs with a delicate breakfast with a smile.
Xiaohuan hasn't got up yet. After Lin Qian entered the room, he gently put his breakfast on the table and heated the charcoal fire, looking like a kind little daughter-in-law.
Xiaohuan felt it before Lin Qian entered the door. The reason why he didn't get up was to see what Lin Qian was going to do, but he didn't expect that Lin Qian did not have any extreme reaction because of what happened last night, but was more diligent than usual, which made him a little strange.
After Lin Qian finished his busy work and looked at Xiaohuan, he saw that although Xiaohuan lay motionless, his deep eyes were staring at him. Lin Qian hid his dissatisfaction with what happened last night and smiled and said, "Get up and eat when you wake up. The porridge will be cold later."
Xiaohuan couldn't say what was wrong with Lin Qian for a moment, but he always felt that Lin Qian's meek smile was like a knife hidden in a smile, which made him unconsciously frown.
Seeing that Xiaohuan did not speak or move, Lin Qian hurried forward and squatted down, trying to reach out to smooth Xiaohuan's frown. He asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
Xiaohuan dodged Lin Qian's outstretched hand and said, "This is exactly what I want to ask. What's wrong with you?"
When Lin Qian saw Xiaohuan talking, he withdrew his hand, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Xiaohuan's words, and said with a smile, "As long as you are fine!" Get up and eat quickly."
Xiaohuan frowned and sat up, with her long hair drooping. Her laziness was obvious, and there were doubts in her eyes that could not be ignored.
He couldn't figure out what Lin Qian was going to do, but his intuition told him that Lin Qian was absolutely 'unfriendly'. Xiaohuan saw Lin Qian's continuous smile and said, "You should know that I'm not afraid of poison, so don't think about harming me in these ways. It's useless."
Lin Qian was stunned when she heard this, and then smiled more happily. She sat by the bed and said, "Why should I hurt you? In the future, I will rely on you to protect me."
