Yang Guhong stared at her indignant expression and was a little lost in thought. "I gave them a sum of silver and also gave them a kick. I even tied them together with the chains they used to tie Little Winter Melon, and then threw away the key to unlock the lock!”
Why did she look so charming no matter if she was angry, embarrassed, or angry?
"Well done!" She wished that she was there at that time. Then, she would definitely kick those two more times. " So that little brat followed you…Oh, right, you haven't said that you're looking for-"
"How did you let those two leave?”
Yang Guhong changed the topic and jumped away from her question again.
He was really curious. Little Winter Melon's stepmother was a greedy and difficult character. How did she drive him away without batting an eyelid?
" This…" She stammered.
Liu Wuqing began to avoid the sharp gaze, his eyes drifting around.
"What did you do that's so hard to say?”
He came in front of her. If he was not mistaken, her ears were glowing red. After knowing her for so long, it seemed that she had never been so embarrassed without a trace of anger.
Normally, if he were to lean so close to her like this, she would have already screamed and pushed him away. Unlike now, when he could casually lift her hair and play with it, she was not angry.
" I…Aiya…" She continued to babble intermittently.
"I'm really curious. What did you tell them?”
"I…I told you, they got the wrong person.”
"It's that simple? Will they believe it?"
" Of course…" She didn't believe him, so she lied a little.
Looking at her small head swaying in front of him, Yang Guhong wondered if he should lift her face first.
"Tell me, how did you convince them?”
Suddenly, someone lifted her chin. She was shocked by his handsome face that had enlarged without warning. The words that were in her heart were accidentally spat out.
"I…told them that the child they saw was my fiancé's child. If they continued to be unreasonable, I would immediately report it to the authorities.”
"Fiancé?" What an interesting title.
"Hey, hey, you…can you not look at me with such a strange gaze?”
Did he think she was willing to say that? She was desperate, desperate!
She followed him, and their eyes locked together. The heavy rain outside was like her rapidly beating heart.
She suddenly had the urge to draw the features of the man standing in front of her.
Without waiting for her to make a move, the hand that was holding her small chin had already moved. He touched her soft and watery cheek. His warm palm seemed to have magic, making her fascinated by his gentle touch.
Gradually, she felt a warm and thick palm holding her face, and she looked at his slowly lowering face…
At this moment, a bird suddenly flew in from outside.
"Boss Liu, Boss Liu, bad news! Last night, the Fang family was robbed. Someone said that they saw this thief running into the Heartless Manor! Boss Liu, come out quickly!" The words that flew between the two of them made the spell disappear in an instant. She quickly jumped away from him and pulled her hair back to hide her panic.
God, why was she so shameless as to let him touch her and even wait for him to kiss her like a lovestruck fool? Was there something wrong with her brain?
She raised her voice to hide her panic. "It's you again, isn't it? Why do you like to steal so much? If you want to find something, don't you tell me? We can help you find it together, why do you have to steal it? You…I'm so angry!”
"Boss Liu-"
"I'll go clean up your mess first. I'll settle the score with you later!”
Liu Wuqing did not even dare to look at him as if his butt was on fire. He fled the place at top speed.
Seeing her flustered look, his bad mood of being beaten up suddenly improved for no reason. He rubbed his chin and stared in the direction she left for a long time.
It seemed that not only was he attracted to her, but she was also fascinated by him, wasn't it?
Ever since that day when he almost " misfired ", Liu Wuqing had tried his best to avoid him for several days. If he was in the east, she would go west. She was afraid that if she accidentally looked into his eyes again, she would lose control and do something that would make her lose control.
"Sister Cuirong, I haven't repaid the debt I owed you in Eastern Jiujiang last time, and now I have another sum on hand. I'm afraid it'll take some time for me to go back and forth. If I leave now, I'll only be back tomorrow afternoon.”
Liu Wuqing was so focused on tidying up the accounts on the table that he did not notice the dark look that flashed across Shen Cuirong's face.
"Sister Qing, how long do you want those two to stay?”
She was angry that her sister did not listen to her advice and insisted on letting these two troublesome people stay. She was even angrier that Qing Mei didn't tell her anything. She was even the last person in the entire village to know who the " thief " who came to ask for the thief was.
"Sister Cuirong, didn't we agree last time?”She stopped and looked at her cousin who was obviously too angry."They will temporarily stay for a month. Even if they don't leave, I will find a way to drive them away.”
"But now that so many things have happened, a month? I can't stand being under the same roof as these people for three more days.”
Shen Cuirong roared crazily. "The moment he came in, you let him enter the master's room. In just ten days, he had eaten nearly half a month's worth of food. And now, you still need to lie about being his fiancée to clarify his innocence. How can you do this?"
Liu Wuqing was stunned.
Why did that gentle and graceful cousin of his become so hysterical?
Sister Cuirong, why are you so agitated? Yang Guhong and I had an agreement to let him live here. Now that something has happened, everyone likes to gossip. Why do you care so much?”
" But..." Shen Cuirong noticed Liu Wuqing's slightly impatient expression and decided to change her words. "Sigh…I was just worried too much! Oh right, lover, you must be careful when you enter the forest today! Don't forget the lesson from last time…I might as well go with you, so that I don't have to worry about you again.”
"No, Sister Cuirong, if you leave, who should I look for if there's anything important in the shop?”
"But…"
"I'll go with her."
A sudden voice interrupted their conversation. Their expressions were completely different. One of them had an angry expression, while the other was shyly unwilling to look at the person who spoke.
Yang Guhong walked steadily towards the cowering Liu Wuqing.
He had finally caught her. This little woman who had been hiding from him had made an exception for him, who had never personally looked for a woman before.
" No, you can't…" Shen Cuirong scolded.
A cold gaze that made people tremble instantly swept over her. That kind of trembling from the bottom of her heart made Shen Cuirong shut her mouth and subconsciously shiver.
Could it be that she had been discovered by this man?
"Miss Shen, don't you think it would be safer to choose a man to accompany Boss Liu?”His sharp gaze disappeared and he smiled. He said to Shen Cuirong, who did not dare to look up,"I don't think there's anyone more suitable than me!”
The surroundings were silent for a while.
"Alright, you'll accompany me."
Shen Cuirong stared at Liu Wuqing in astonishment, feeling quite upset.
"I'll meet you at the entrance of the shop in a moment.”After Liu Wuqing finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to organize his things.
The breeze swept up the dead leaves on the ground, spinning them in the air for a few rounds before falling down. Among the sparse branches, the fallen leaves swayed as if they were waiting for the next cold wind to dance. Everywhere he looked was desolate.
Her slender feet stepped on the dead leaves on the ground, making a crunching sound. Coupled with the clinking sound coming from her body, the cold forest seemed particularly noisy.
The same place reminded Liu Wuqing of his previous experience. Naturally, he quickened his pace.
"Hurry up! Are you the reincarnation of a turtle?"
She kept urging the shadow behind her to walk faster, afraid that she would encounter the evil thief again if she delayed.
However, the man who she kept urging did not seem to have the intention to speed up.
Finally, she couldn't take it anymore. She turned around and glared at him with her hands on her hips. The clear and loud collision sounds on her body seemed to express her dissatisfaction and stopped with her halt.
"Are you here to protect me or to drag me down?”
"You're finally willing to look me in the eye."
He accepted her angry glare, and a hint of a smile flashed across his deep eyes. He knew that he had attracted her attention.
Hearing this, Liu Wuqing stiffened.
Seeing that she wanted to turn around and escape again, Yang Guhong's smile disappeared. He quickly grabbed her with his big hand and brought her to the front.
"Since I'm here, I'll naturally escort you to your destination safely.”
After a moment, Liu Wuqing realized that he was answering his question. Yang Guhong seemed to be waiting for her to understand and continued,""What are you afraid of? Why are you avoiding me? Why don't you look at me when you talk?”
"I'm not afraid of anything. I'm not avoiding you or talking without looking at you…"
"You're lying."
"I didn't!"
He laughed at her actions. "Then look up at me now!”Coward!
If she didn't move, he would!
Yang Guhong lifted her delicate chin and their eyes met.
She recalled the scene of the two of them staring at each other in the room that day. The close distance, the intimate breath, just a little bit, just a little bit, their lips were about to touch…
Suddenly, her face turned red.
If no one had come to disturb her at that time, even if he had not kissed her, she would have stood on her tiptoes and leaned against him. This was the biggest reason why she didn't dare to look at him in the eye. It was because she actually had the thought of kissing him.
"Isn't this good? You can see me clearly, and I can see the pearl in your eyes.”
He didn't understand. Since both of them were attracted to each other, why did she run away?
Like him, when he knew what he wanted, he would think of a way to get it regardless of everything. With his ability, he didn't think that there was anything he couldn't get, and what he wanted the most now...
It was to kiss that seductive little mouth that did not mean what it said.
"Alright, I've looked at you since you wanted me to. Let's hurry up and set off!”
Peng peng! She could hear her own heart beating like a drum.
She hurriedly said," Don't forget the mountain bandits we met in the forest last time. They might still be hiding on this mountain during those four days. We can't waste any more time. What if we meet those people again?"”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Why was her heart beating faster and faster, without any signs of stopping?
"This might be their den…It's getting dark…If they come out again…I mean, there's only two of us…They…"
Her chaotic heartbeat had already disturbed her mind, and she could not speak clearly. The only thing that was still conscious was that her rational hand was still pushing and pulling him.
He hooked his arm around her, not allowing her to push him away at all. He smiled, and at the same time, his face gradually leaned towards her. "I know what you mean. We have to move quickly.”
He quickly kissed her so that the two of them could continue on their way.
He agreed with this idea.
When their lips were close, he cursed in a low voice and took the initiative to pull the rope back.
He pressed her, who had yet to figure out what was going on, behind him and turned his cold face to the empty forest. He swept his gaze across the forest without batting an eyelid and said in a cold voice,"Sir, stop playing hide-and-seek. Show yourself!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound in the surroundings. Then, a strong man wearing a tiger skin jumped out from behind a thick tree trunk. His beard was jumping up and down.
"Hahaha, good job. I thought the young couple only cared about being intimate. I didn't expect you to be more vigilant. Not bad, I admire you.”
The boorish man let out a long string of unpleasant and ear-splitting laughter as if he was giving out a command. The figures behind him also jumped out one by one.
