Chapter 10 Don't scare me~

Mingyue leaned in Huo Xingchen's arms.

There is no one else around.

She finally realized it later and felt a little guilty.

But I didn't forget his threat of revenge.

Grew up together.

No one knew better than her how skilled he was in martial arts, how petty he was, and how much he held grudges.

Qingqiu and Qingning are no match for him at all.

There was no one else for her to turn to for help.

You're not going to take her to a deserted place and kill her quietly, are you?

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became.

Her body subconsciously struggled to get out of his arms.

"Um, um... I'm fine now. I can walk on my own. I'm wet and need to change clothes. Please put me down."

Mingyue tried her best to make her voice sound friendly.

He who knows the times is a hero.

She has always implemented these words very well.

Now is the time to recognize the current situation.

Unexpectedly.

Huo Xingchen seemed to be deaf, still striding forward without changing his pace.

Mingyue was not a very courageous person to begin with, especially when she had no one to support her and no power to rely on, she just became cowardly.

"I, I'm talking to you. I'm much better now. You can put me down now."

I thought Huo Xingchen wouldn't answer yet.

But a low, cold laugh came from the man above his head.

"Why don't you continue pretending?"

Huo Xingchen did not hesitate to expose Mingyue's plan of pretending to fall into the pond, pretending to drown, pretending to be sad, and pretending to be weak.

It's all fake.

It would be fine if she didn't say it, but as soon as she mentioned it, she got filled with anger.

She fell into the pond in vain. She had originally planned to make Huo Chenyuan more moved, feel more guilty, and to sow discord between him and Minglian.

What's the result?

All her plans were disrupted by Huo Xingchen.

"It's all your fault. If you had put me down, you would have known I was pretending. I don't need you to hold me!"

Since she was seen through anyway, she simply didn't want to pretend anymore.

Twisting her waist, her tender little white hands patted Huo Xingchen's shoulders, which had become more upright and broad compared to three years ago.

But such force.

For a man who has been fighting on the battlefield for years, it is just like a kitten using its cute pink paw pads to hit him, thinking it is fierce, but in fact it is more like a reward.

Especially Mingyue, who always puts self-care first.

A soft slap doesn't hurt.

But it is a sweet and fragrant aroma.

Huo Xingchen's expression did not fluctuate at all.

Take people directly to an empty palace.

Qingqiu and Qingning wanted to step forward to stop them, but when they saw that their young lady was unwilling, they decided to protect her at all costs.

"Miss!!"

Huo Xingchen's bodyguard Zhao Yan blocked the two of them.

The three of them were on the verge of a fight.

Mingyue spoke up to stop him.

"You two wait for me outside."

"Yes, miss."

Qingqiu, even though Qingning was worried, he always obeyed orders.

Otherwise, Minglian would not have held a grudge against him in his previous life, and would not have allowed Xiaozi to torture the two of them to death by pulling out their tendons and skinning them.

Huo Xingchen carried the person into the hall.

Without even turning his head, he hooked his long legs and the palace door creaked shut.

The palace was empty and silent.

Even if she didn't think there was anything wrong with abandoning Huo Xingchen back then, in such an atmosphere, he had a cold face and didn't say anything.

It was rare for her to feel a little guilty.

But this guilty feeling was fleeting.

It's only others who are wrong. She is just ambitious and wants to move up. What's wrong with her?

Think of this.

I comforted myself immediately.

Be righteous and confident.

"Hey, what the hell do you mean? Put me down now. If you have something to say, say it now. If you have to fart, fart now. I don't have time to waste with you!"

In the past, she would just frown.

Huo Xingchen immediately knelt down and coaxed her like a dog.

But not this time.

The man held her in his strong, muscular arms and placed her on the table in the hall.

Then he pushed her legs apart and stood between them.

A pair of deep eyes looked at her coldly and inexplicably, making people feel creepy for no reason.

His temperament is very different from three years ago.

He was dressed in black with cloud patterns embroidered with gold thread, and his figure became more upright and strong. His cold white skin three years ago may have turned into wheat color because of long time on the battlefield. His temperament became more sinister and murderous, and his facial features were deep.

The peach blossom eyes that were originally affectionate now had a hint of coldness in them.

After finally coaxing herself, Mingyue was unsure again when faced with Huo Xingchen, who was so different from the past, and felt a little timid.

Her eyes were lowered, and her long eyelashes trembled.

The tears came so fast that they couldn't fall.

"You, why don't you speak? Are you blaming me~"

A moment passed, just when she thought he had remained silent.

He finally spoke.

"I almost died that year."

Mingyue's heart skipped a beat.

Without waiting for her to speak.

The man raised his hand to play with the long hair that fell on her chest and gently combed it along with his fingers. She could hear his warm breath in her ears, and his thin lips seemed to be touching her ears, bringing tremors.

"How do you think I should avenge this? Hmm, my lady?"

Mingyue only felt her heart beating wildly, thump thump as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

There was a hint of tears in the voice when he spoke.

It's over.

Huo Xingchen is so scary now, she is really a little scared.

Especially when the man's big calloused hands gently and slowly moved to her fair neck and restrained her in a shackled position.

Seen from behind, her figure was completely blocked, with only the corner of her clothes and her white ankles showing.

The man was holding her in his arms and on the table in a state of absolute oppression.

Her heart almost jumped out of her mouth.

"Zhou... Huo Xingchen, you, don't do this, I'm scared! I'm really scared!"

The big hand on the neck slowly exerted force.

The man's thin lips moved closer to her earlobe, and his hot breath sprayed on her neck.

The neck and earlobes are naturally sensitive.

Now being treated like this.

Mingyue's legs felt a little weak.

"Scared? How could someone like you be afraid? Besides, don't you think you're afraid too early? You told me back then that if someone betrays your sincerity, they have to swallow ten thousand needles. For the sake of our past friendship, I'll only let you swallow a hundred. What do you think?"

One hundred needles?

She was just saying that to coax him.

Looking up, I met those deep, dark eyes.

It's different now.

It's really different.

The corners of Mingyue's eyes gradually turned red.

The slender white hand trembled slightly, and slowly and cautiously raised it to touch the man's sleeve.

The slender fingers just gently pinched the corner of the man's sleeve.

Shake gently.

"Huo Xingchen, please don't be mean to me, I'm really scared!"

Eye contact.

The atmosphere was stagnant.

Huo Xingchen's expression remained unmoved.

Mingyue sniffed lightly.

The tip of the nose is red.

A stunningly beautiful little face with a few strands of hair sticking to her cheeks.

He was wearing his outer robe.

The little person wearing her clothes looked like a child stealing adult clothes.

Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate.

Zhao Yan, the guard standing outside the door, reported.

"Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming this way."

Mingyue's eyes lit up.

Although Huo Chenyuan is not a good person, it seems that only Huo Chenyuan can save her now.

"I'm very happy to hear that the prince is here. Is she your target in the capital?" But then I heard the man's angry voice gritting his teeth.

Mingyue immediately put away the smile on her face.

With his little head lowered.

I look like I'm very honest.

The voices of Zhao Yan, Qingqiu and Qingning greeting each other came from the door.

Then Huo Chenyuan began to question.

"As for my cousin, Miss Ming is still my sister no matter what. He should not make things difficult for her."
