Chapter 19 Chapter 19 You are really bold.

Mu Xi said she was sleepy and wanted to take a nap. She just informed him politely and planned to take a nap against the car wall. Han Yinfeng let her lie on his legs to rest.

He looked both enthusiastic and shy, and rather embarrassed. "This carriage is a makeshift one. My lady, please make do with it for now. We'll get a better one when it's completely safe."

Mu Xi smiled and declined, crossed her arms and took a deep breath, leaned against the car wall behind her and closed her eyes, but she could still feel the gaze on her face that she could not ignore.

She was indeed a little tired. She didn't know how much time had passed. The carriage stopped for a short while before it started moving again.

Mu Xi opened her eyes and found her head resting on Han Yinfeng's legs. Their eyes suddenly met, and both looked away, somewhat bewildered.

However, Han Yinfeng quickly regained his composure and spoke first, "How did you sleep, my lady?"

"Not bad." Mu Xi stood up and tidied herself up briefly. She did think she slept soundly, but she didn't expect it to be so sound that she didn't even notice someone had changed her position.

"Where have we been? How long have I been asleep?"

"Not long." Han Yinfeng lowered his head to smooth the wrinkles on his legs. "I heard from them that this place is called Kou County. Mingyu just came back after asking for directions. Let's go into the city first and find a place to stay."

Mu Xi nodded, and Han Yinfeng asked her, "My wife said earlier that she wanted to go back. Once we are settled, we can let Ying Zhang go back."

"Forget it." Mu Xi said, "I just said that. There's nothing I need to take. I'll just go back..." She paused and suddenly changed her words, "I left in such a hurry. I didn't bring any extra money with me. All my money is..."

Han Yinfeng had known for a long time that Mu Xi's money was all under the bed in her original room.

"Don't worry, my lady. I have money." Han Yinfeng habitually tried to hold her hand, but Mu Xi frowned and pulled away.

Only then did she realize that Han Yinfeng seemed to have changed a little compared to before.

"Your appearance..."

Han Yinfeng smiled and lowered his eyes. "Before, I stayed with my wife. In order to hide from others, I disguised myself. Now that there is no one else around, I want to face my wife with my true face."

Mu Xi remained silent without commenting. Han Yinfeng raised his eyebrows at her and asked softly, "Why? Madam, do you think I'm not good-looking?"

"It looks good." Mu Xi simply uttered these two emotionless words. Han Yinfeng blinked a few times. This was still different from what he had imagined.

But this feeling...how should I put it, he seemed to be somewhat used to it.

Han Yinfeng had thought that Mu Xi was still wary of him, and it was completely understandable.

In Mu Xi's opinion, he had indeed been lying before, and of course he was still lying now... she just didn't know it.

Mu Xi's initial suspicions and speculations about him were proven to be true, so to truly capture her heart, he would have to devote more time and energy, and perhaps something else.

Han Yinfeng thought that if he were Mu Xi, although that little bit of money was nothing, it was her savings after all, so it was natural for her to be reluctant to part with it.

He pretended to be understanding and said, "If my lady needs it, I'll ask Ying Zhang to go back and get the money back for you, okay?"

Mu Xi glanced at him and shook her head, "No, that's nothing. I don't want to lose the big picture for the small."

Although she was really reluctant to spend the money, she thought about the countless scenes in movies and TV shows she had seen where characters lost their lives because of a small prop, so she decided to let it go.

If what Han Yinfeng said was true, Luan County was in great danger now. Someone wanted to find her and kill her. Because she asked someone to go back to get the money, she made someone a scapegoat and also exposed their whereabouts. It was not worth it.

Han Yinfeng didn't know what she was thinking, and he felt a little restless. He stubbornly moved closer to Mu Xi, sat close to her, held her left hand, and intertwined their fingers.

Suddenly, Mu Xi got goosebumps all over his body.

She was about to ask—"What are you doing?"

Unfortunately, before he could even open his mouth, the other party beat him to the punch.

Han Yinfeng looked at her and said softly to her, "My lady, when you are away from home, you can trust me, rely on me, and leave your safety to me." He leaned lightly on Mu Xi's stiff body without caring about anything.

"You and I are supposed to be the closest people in this world. I will protect you well. Tell me whatever you are thinking or want to do, and I will help you accomplish it."

Mu Xi kept looking at him with strange eyes, but Han Yinfeng ignored her. He turned to look at Mu Xi and said, "Don't hide anything from me, okay?"

“…”

Mu Xi didn't answer.

Han Yinfeng seemed very magnanimous. "I understand. No matter what the reason was, I lied to you after all. It's certain that my wife doesn't trust me now, but I will use actual actions and results to prove my sincerity to you."

It really looks like... an actor who has no other choice but to make a last-ditch effort and contribute superb acting skills.

Mu Xi thought.

Sometimes being too sincere can make the actual result appear very insincere.

Han Yinfeng was about to say something to brainwash Mu Xi, but the carriage stopped. Mu Xi's attention was instantly diverted, and he pulled his hand back again and again.

Mu Xi lifted the car curtain and took a look. Everything around her was unfamiliar.

The man named Ying Zhang was standing outside. He smiled brightly when he saw her. "Madam, are you tired? Mingyu has gone to ask for the inn. You can rest soon."

Before Mu Xi said anything, the curtain of the carriage was lowered by someone who came up from behind. Ying Zhang, who was outside, was glared at by his master. He touched his nose and lowered his head, not daring to look around.

Han Yinfeng whispered in Mu Xi's ear, "When we were in Luan County, everyone thought we were cousins. That's what they must have heard. If we pretend to be newlyweds, even if someone asks about us later, they won't suspect anything."

Mu Xi wanted to say that when a woman and a man go out, whether they are siblings, brother and sister, or wife and husband, it is a standard relationship, and there is nothing wrong with doubting it.

Unless they split up and went their separate ways, but thinking about how she was truly a clueless person, Han Yinfeng probably wouldn't agree. She didn't expose him and nodded.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, she asked him, "A man's reputation is extremely important. If you keep pretending like this with me, what will happen in the future..."

Han Yinfeng's fingers gently pressed against her lips, preventing her from continuing.

Mu Xi frowned and stepped back. How come this kid acted like he was at full power as soon as he left the house?

Could it be that he was really sealed by the four words "conceal his identity" before?

Judging from his various intimate and flattering behaviors towards her now, passers-by who don't know the truth will definitely think that the two of them are already in a relationship.

"I've been yours for a long time," he said. "It's not really a disguise, it's just confirming our relationship in advance."

Mu Xi didn't say anything. She felt that when facing Han Yinfeng like this, she had less and less to say.

After deciding on a place to stay, Mu Xi got off the carriage and walked forward. She noticed the looks Mingyu and Yingzhang were giving her. She came to her senses and looked back. Han Yinfeng was also holding onto the door frame and looking at her.

Mu Xi stretched out her hand, Han Yinfeng smiled and gently placed her hand in her palm.

I felt a tingling sensation, and it seemed like my heart was also a little itchy.

Mu Xi thought about the several times she had pulled her hand back before, but she didn't expect that she would take the initiative to hold the same person's hand so soon.

Upon learning that Mingyu had only booked two rooms, Mu Xi widened her eyes slightly and subconsciously looked at Han Yinfeng, but Han Yinfeng did not respond.

She thought that these two people were Han Yinfeng's subordinates, and this arrangement might be his explicit instruction.

He's really willing to risk his life for a fiancée like her who doesn't remember anything...

This is not something that an average person would do under normal thinking, so there must be an unusual truth.

Mu Xi was a little annoyed. She felt that her peaceful life had been completely disrupted, and her hope for a peaceful future had become a luxury.

Han Yinfeng asked her if she was hungry. Mu Xi shook her head and asked the shopkeeper which room they had.

The waiter ran over with a smile and said he would show them the way.

The room had a nice layout, and one could tell at a glance that the price was something Mu Xi herself couldn't afford. She didn't ask and stayed there as if she knew nothing.

"Ask the store owner for an extra quilt so I can sleep on the floor at night." Mu Xi waited for the waiter to leave and spoke to Han Yinfeng.

Han Yinfeng blinked and walked towards her with a smile, "My lady, there is no need to be so wronged. I said, the relationship between you and me is..."

"But it's not like that after all." Mu Xi interrupted him and said, "Just think of it as giving me peace of mind. I'm used to sleeping alone."

Han Yinfeng smiled gently, "Okay."

Not long after, Mingyu and Yingzhang came in together, introduced themselves to Muxi, and told her that she could order them to do anything.

"Madam is the master's wife, and therefore our master. We will be loyal to Madam just as we are to the master."

As they said this, the two men lowered their heads and looked at the ground, not looking away, and did not stumble or fall at all.

Mu Xi nodded and said she understood.

Ying Zhang took a step forward and handed a bundle to Mu Xi.

Mu Xi took it blankly, and the two of them walked out with their heads down without saying anything.

As she opened the bag, a pair of hands as white as jade appeared in her sight.

"I asked them to prepare it." Han Yinfeng said with a smile, "They are both very quick."

There were two new sets of clothes in the bundle. Han Yinfeng said that just in case, they should change out of their original clothes, and then let Mingyu Yingzhang take them out and throw them away.

Han Yinfeng took off his own set and began to untie his belt in front of Mu Xi.

Mu Xi was stunned for a moment, then she retreated to the other side of the screen holding her clothes, closed her eyes and sighed silently.

According to Han Yinfeng, the two of them have escaped and are safe now, but she still feels that something is wrong and she feels uncomfortable.

Han Yinfeng turned around and looked at the dazed figure outlined on the screen, and curled his lips.
