Blushing Face and Heartbeat
"I've already arranged for someone to get you a new set of clothes. They'll be here in a while.”
“……”
"I think you're hungry too. Sit down and eat first!”
He clapped his hands outside the room, and someone immediately brought in plates of steaming dishes.
Liu Wuqing was speechless and dumbfounded. He stood rooted to the ground like a block of wood. Wasn't he a thief? Where did he get so many people to order around? How did he do it? Who was he to have such great ability?
Yang Guhong smiled and led her to the table full of dishes. It turned out that the feeling of holding her in his arms and the strange feelings that arose because of her were addictive. He thought that he could not bear to let go.
It was as if he understood what he wanted.
He gently hugged her and sat beside her. "You should be tired after a day of traveling, so it would be better for me to get Li Lang to help you collect the bill. You can rest well in this room tonight and recover your energy and strength. Tomorrow morning, Li Lang will send you the debt that he has collected, and we can set off.”
Was he concerned about her? Liu Wuqing came back to his senses and watched as he filled his bowl with food.
Caring for him was like a miraculous medicine. Her dissatisfaction and complaints towards him instantly disappeared like a gentle breeze.
Swallowing a mouthful of warm rice, her heart warmed up.
She would talk about her problem after this wonderful feeling passed!
In the blink of an eye, the leaves fell in a colorful manner, and the bleak atmosphere turned cold.
The cold wind was blowing. Even though the seasons were changing, and the customers entering and leaving the shop had changed into winter coats, Liu Wuqing still felt that he was under the warm sun and did not feel the cold.
Liu Wuqing sat in front of the counter and looked at the open account book. For the first time, she realized that she couldn't concentrate on the accounts. She didn't know where she got the disgust from. These things couldn't interest her at all. She was always thinking about one thing.
She remembered that night, before he passed away, he had gently planted a kiss on her forehead as if he was making a vow. After returning to the Heartless Manor, he looked at her differently and would often pull her into his arms like a warm bag.
Although he was still so annoying and always liked to tease her verbally, she could feel that his jokes were always tolerant and doting.
As long as he was within range, her gaze would involuntarily shift to him.
It's over, it's over. Could it be that she's moved by him…by that pawned item of unknown origin? She quickly shook her head and denied it.
"Little sister, little sister…"
The urgent call pulled her back from her daze.
"Sister Cuirong, what's wrong?"
Recently, she had been feeling that Sister Cuirong was acting strangely. She always looked at her and Yang Guhong with a resentful gaze that made her hair stand on end. However, these few days, she seemed to be very happy. She had regained her usual spirit and was always in front of her.
"I should be the one asking you what's wrong! He stood there for a while without moving. He didn't even respond to me when I called out to him. He just shook his head. Let me ask you, why do you look like you've lost your soul?”
"Maybe I didn't sleep well last night!" She said it casually.
"You didn't sleep well. Didn't you go to bed early? Why can't I sleep well?"
Yes, she did go to bed early, but her mind was filled with thoughts of the man who had left the Heartless Manor for three days.
He told her that he would be leaving the villa for four days and would only return tomorrow. Since he was not around, she naturally moved back to her room.
Lying on her back on the bed that she was familiar with, every time she closed her eyes, she would think of him lying on this bed before. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Was she lovesick?
Pah! What lovesickness? It would be a wonder if she would think of such an arrogant and arrogant person!
However, it was really hard to adapt to life without him.
"Sister Qing, are you thinking about that Yang Guhong?”
A ghost-like whisper suddenly appeared beside her. Liu Wuqing was shocked and quickly denied it as if someone had caught his pigtail.
"Who said that? Why…do I miss him? Sister Cuirong, don't spout nonsense."
"Is that so? Why do I see that you've been absent-minded for the past three days?”She raised her phoenix eyes and sneered. "Sister Qing, don't blame me for not reminding you. That kind of man is surrounded by many women. You'd better not have any extravagant hopes. Just be content and live an ordinary life with me.”
Why did these words sound so creepy? Was it her imagination? She seemed to have seen Sister Cui Rong's strange expression before she turned around.
Liu Wuqing shook his head and saw a guest who had just entered. He quickly stood up to welcome the guest.
Her eyes must be playing tricks on her. Stop letting your imagination run wild. It's time to work!
The sky was slightly white. When she woke up, the room was filled with an aura that did not belong to her.
Blinking her eyes, she turned her body to get up, only to realize that there was someone lying beside her!
Shocked, she covered her mouth with her hand. It was really him!
A resentful gaze swept across his face. Since he was back, why didn't he wake her up? There was a girl lying on the bed! What was he thinking? He slept beside her without saying a word. Was he trying to ruin her reputation? Or was he waiting for her to scream and laugh at her?
Judging from how he usually liked to tease her, she thought it was the latter.
She changed to a prone position and looked down from top to bottom. She carefully sized up his sleeping appearance and admired his handsome face. She did not know where she got the courage to do something.
She couldn't help but move her face closer to him. She used her hand to trace his thick eyebrows and nose, all the way to his slightly pursed lips.
The world spun and she was laid down beside him.
The moment their lips parted, she realized that she should have slapped him, but she realized that her hands were already behind her back. She was trapped by him and could not move.
"I finally know what I want.”His obsidian-like black eyes were emitting a fiery message.
However, after a few days with her, he found that he missed her very much. He missed her angry and drunk face, missed her soft body that she hugged, and missed her being touched by him regardless of everything.
The feeling of longing was like a prairie fire. It came quickly and fiercely, quickly spreading throughout his entire body. In order to see her as soon as possible, he quickly finished his business and rushed back to the Heartless Manor overnight. When her sleeping face appeared in front of him, the satisfaction that filled his heart made him know that it was right for him to come back.
Liu Wuqing struggled to look away, but those deep and deep eyes were like a magnet with divine power, forcefully attracting her bright crystal eyes, making her unable to break free.
"I've been searching for something that has gone missing. It's called the Blood Amber, a rare piece of emerald amber. I have to find it within a month. This is the agreement I made with the owner of the Blood Amber. Later on, you also know that I met Little Winter Melon on my way to find him.”
From his slightly opened mouth, she knew that she was extremely surprised because he actually said these secrets that no matter how she asked, he would not open his mouth like a dead clam. It made her forget that her lips were being attacked previously.
His slender fingers gently brushed across her soft cheeks as he answered her confusion. "I will only be unreserved to someone I care about.”
Eh, what did he mean by saying all this to her?
He wouldn't hold anything back when it came to someone he cared about…Did that mean that she was someone he cared about, so he told her about the blood amber?
Disobedient Heart quickened her pace. She wasn't sure if it was really as she thought. Holding her breath, she decided to ask a few questions to see if he would answer her to confirm if he really cared about her.
"Let me ask you, why did you go to the outskirts and pawn yourself?”
"At that time, I was a little tired of looking for blood amber. It just so happened that the deadline would expire in a month, so I randomly picked up a wooden tablet and engraved words to see if it could find a place for me and Little Winter Melon to settle down." But this was a boring idea I came up with at the last minute. I thought that no one would be more bored than me to do this, but who knew…" He chuckled softly.
She puffed up her breath and glared at him.
"Who is Li Lang?"
"He is someone I know from the government.”
"You know someone from the government! You…are very rich?" Those who could get close to the officials must have a very good family background.
"It's not a small amount!"
"You…are very powerful?"
"No!" He shrugged.
"Since you have money and made friends with powerful people, why didn't you ask Li Lang to send his men to look for that blood amber? Why did you secretly steal things everywhere?”
"The owner of the Blood Amber did not want this matter to be exposed, so I could only make this choice. Moreover, this blood amber is also related to me, so I have to find it.”
"If you want to find something, just sneak into someone else's residence and take a look. Why did you bring it out?”
"The quality of the Blood Amber is very strange. There is only one piece in the world, and the Blood Amber has been missing in Jiangnan for some time. It may have been changed by someone. I have never seen a Blood Amber before. The only way for me to identify it is that once the Blood Amber is exposed to the sun, a red dragon will appear in the middle of the jade.”
"But you stole it. What if you were caught?”
"Isn't this good? Didn't you want me to get lost so that I could return your room? If I'm caught, wouldn't that be exactly what you want?”It was rare for him to joke with her.
"You, this is not funny at all." She glared at him.
She did not want him to be arrested by the government. She knew that he was rich and could bribe the officials to settle the matter. However, what if the target of his attack was an official who could not be provoked and was richer and more powerful than him? Who could protect him?
"Don't worry, I believe that no one can touch me. When I return, I will order people to return those 'borrowed' things to their rightful owners.”
Please! When he returned the things, wouldn't people think that he was a thief?
She pursed her lips in response to his naive thoughts. "Return it to its original owner. How powerful do you think you are?"
"Boss Liu, Boss Liu!"
" Bang!" Chi 'er pushed open the door and rushed into the room.
" Boss Liu, bad news, that…that…" Chi 'er's words were stuck in her throat. Her two big eyes stared at the two people who were hugging each other intimately on the bed. Boss Liu was even nestled in Young Master Yang's arms!
Chi 'er was so frightened that she quickly turned around. "Ah! I'm sorry…Boss Liu, I didn't know…Young Master Yang was also here, I…didn't mean to…barge in…"
Only then did Liu Wuqing realize the ambiguous relationship between him and Yang Guhong. He hurriedly broke free from his arms and stood up.
"Chi 'er, stop your wild thoughts. Yang Guhong and I are innocent. Nothing happened!”
"Don't talk nonsense when you get out, do you hear me? Also, what are you shouting about? What's wrong?"
Chi 'er covered her eyes. Uncle Shen saw something he shouldn't have seen. "It's that…that fat…Master Tang, he brought a lot of…soldiers…saying that we're harboring criminals here, and they're coming to arrest us!”
"He's here again!"
What trouble did he steal for her this time?
Yang Guhong frowned and looked back at her, shaking his head. He really just went back to settle some matters and didn't go anywhere.
"Yes…Yes! This time, he's here again." With her eyes covered, Chi 'er nodded vigorously. "He even said……what……he has physical evidence and witnesses in his hands, he wants……Boss Liu, don't quibble anymore, he wants Young Master Yang to……to confront him face to face.”
Physical evidence?
The two of them looked at each other. Where did the evidence come from? Weren't those stolen things hidden in her treasury?
Liu Wuqing lowered his eyes and looked at the key hanging on his waist. Other than herself, she had never allowed anyone else to enter her treasure vault. How could anyone know that the stolen goods were hidden here?
"Chi 'er, go out and stop them. No matter what, don't let them enter this room.”
She had to think of a way to protect him.
