Chapter 174 I Have Conceded

"Don't you think Third Master Jun's attitude towards Xie Xuan is unusual? And what about Miss Jun going to the inner house to look for Xie Xuan?"

Feng Bao sat in the main hall, unable to hide his disappointment on his face.

There was disappointment that such a well-thought-out plan had failed, disappointment that his son-in-law was so cowardly and unwilling to seek justice for his grandson, and even more disappointment that he was being used again by the person behind the scenes.

Liu had just settled her daughter down, and her eyes flashed when she heard this.

"It seems that my son-in-law can no longer be relied upon. I have already written to my three granddaughters. I will ask my grandson-in-law to come back and help."

…

Although the Su family is now out of danger for the time being, it is still impossible to predict how the person above will react when he finds out.

After returning from the Su Mansion, Su Shengsheng, who had hidden something from Xie Xuan, kept her eyes closed and ignored him all the way.

It was not until she returned home that she saw Qing Ning Ning Yu, whom she had asked to leave early in the morning, not only did she not leave, but she had moved into the house.

"Didn't I tell you to go home?"

Qing Ning muttered unhappily, "Miss, have you forgotten what you promised us before?"

The "before" she was referring to was naturally the day when the house was searched.

This time, Ning Yu also spoke angrily, "Miss, you've already broken your promise to us once. Are you going to break your promise again?"

Su Shengsheng vaguely understood and looked at the two of them helplessly. Seeing Xie Xuan's gaze, she didn't know what to say to them anymore.

Seeing the two of them look determined and their valuables already brought into the house, Su Shengsheng knew it would be difficult to drive them away.

I really want to leave but I can't, and I'm forced to stay when I'm not allowed to...

Why!

Su Shengsheng let out a long sigh.

"Okay, miss, stop sighing." Qing Ning helped her walk to the dining table. "I made some ice cream today, just right to help with the heat."

Su Shengsheng was just about to say, don't try to win her over with food, when she saw Xie Xuan had already taken the bowl of ice cream prepared for her and started eating it himself.

The three of them stared at each other for a moment.

I forgot that there is someone here who loves sweets.

Su Shengsheng shook her head helplessly, and listened to Qingning, who looked at her at a loss, whispering that he would go downstairs and prepare another bowl for her.

"Forget it. Eating cold food at night is hard to digest."

Unexpectedly, she didn't mind, and Xie Xuan was so happy that he kept praising Qing Ning's cooking skills.

But Xie Xuan thought that Su Shengsheng had specially ordered someone to prepare dessert for him, just like she did at Shixianglou.

He never thought that Qing Ning only prepared one bowl because he didn't prepare his portion at all.

After the three of them finished their whisper, Su Shengsheng sat back at the table.

She frowned at the thought that they would have to stay in the same room after dinner.

You can't hit people again, right?

Not to mention that Xie Xuanyun didn't allow it, she didn't even have the courage to do it.

But really...

Qing Ning and Ning Yu looked at the young lady with a frown on her face and glanced at each other secretly.

But time waits for no one.

After dinner, Su Shengsheng finally made up her mind as she saw the red candles with the wedding character on them had been taken down and replaced with ordinary red candles.

After all the maids left, she picked up a quilt and moved out without even having the courage to greet Xie Xuan.

"What are you doing?" Xie Xuan looked at her in confusion.

Su Shengsheng smiled awkwardly, "Qing Ning and the others are not used to it yet, I'll go and keep them company."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Xuan sneered and walked towards her quickly, "In that case, I should accompany the princess?"

Fengtong looked at the bewildered Su Shengsheng with a smile.

The quilt in her hand was grabbed by someone, and Su Shengsheng could only muster up the courage to look at him, "Otherwise, we should sleep separately..."

Not to mention that the situation between them has not reached this point, even the things involved are difficult to sort out for the time being.

Xie Xuan smiled again, and this time he did not pull the quilt forcefully, but pulled her into his arms.

Staring at the jade-like pupils that were at a loss for a moment, Xie Xuan said in a low voice, "We are newlyweds, how can we sleep in separate beds?"

He threw the quilt in Su Shengsheng's hand onto the bed in an instant. His dangerous aura made her even more panicked.

Before she could make an excuse, he leaned over and pressed her down on the messy quilt.

Su Shengsheng's body shook, and this time he grabbed her wrist directly on her head.

And deep in his phoenix eyes, a dark light surged, and his breath pressed close to her, "Why did you hit me last night?"

This was probably something he had been thinking about all day, so he didn't allow her to avoid it and reached out to turn her little face back.

Su Shengsheng had nowhere to hide, but she was also afraid that he would really...

She lowered her eyes slightly, her lips trembling, "I just remembered some bad things..."

This was the only reason she could think of that could explain why she beat him and refused to consummate her marriage with him.

That day, she hit him hard, and it was indeed because of the way he treated her that she remembered the things she had always wanted to forget.

Xie Xuan originally planned to bring an army to bear on her and then let her guard down.

But Su Shengsheng's words and her pale face made him realize what he was doing in an instant.

His expression was slightly shocked, and he instantly moved away from her, his voice slightly unsteady, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have treated you like this."

The restraining hands were released, and Su Shengsheng immediately stood up from the couch.

Xie Xuan pulled her pale face into his arms and comforted her softly, "I will never let you get hurt again..."

Su Shengsheng froze, "I know the general treats me well, but marriage is really not what I want. I'd rather the general..."

Before she could finish, Xie Xuan hugged her so tightly that she had difficulty breathing.

"They say it takes a hundred years to cross the river together, and a thousand years to sleep on the same pillow." Xie Xuan's voice seemed to tremble. "Don't you think this is our destiny?"

Without waiting for her to argue, Xie Xuan quickly said, "No matter what, we are already husband and wife. I will treat you very well."

As if afraid of seeing the rejection in her eyes, Xie Xuan did not let her go, but instead held her even tighter.

He was afraid that she would regard him as the same as Fan Wenchang in her heart, but he couldn't let go.

Su Shengsheng sighed.

She understood that if he could be easily persuaded to give up by just a few words from her, he would not have abducted her back from the border.

"I want to sleep separately..." She could only settle for the second best.

"I've already given in." Xie Xuan's voice came out in a low voice from behind her ear.

Seems to be suppressed.

Not only did he not let go, but he held her even tighter.

His words and his tone did not allow her to refuse.

"Then let me go first, I can't breathe."

Su Shengsheng pushed him, but it was like pushing a thousand-foot-high mountain, unable to move it at all.

Xie Xuan gently let her go and looked over at her with his phoenix eyes.

"Then... I'll go sleep on the couch..." Su Shengsheng didn't dare to look at him, her voice as small as a mosquito.

His brows, as long as a lone peak, were furrowed again and again.

"I won't touch you tonight." Xie Xuan's tone was a little stiff, and he seemed to put extra emphasis on the word "tonight".

He is still as arrogant as ever, but at least he has overcome the current crisis.

Su Shengsheng could only put on a cold face and walk around him, then she went to sleep on the inside with the quilt in her arms, feeling depressed.

Just as she closed her eyes angrily, Xie Xuan hugged her from behind, startling Su Shengsheng.
