He used to get injured all the time, and it was her body back then, so why was she never this nervous as she is today?
It's because things are different now; now she finally has him in her heart.
Zhu Yu cornered her against the wall, placed his hands on either side of Lu Xiaoyun's head, and pulled her into his arms with difficulty. He looked up at her, his gaze falling on her lips, and swallowed hard.
I really want to try it again.
Her lips were moist, red, and very alluring.
Why didn't I have that feeling when I was alone before?
Zhu Yu recalled a saying: "Interesting souls are one in a hundred, while beautiful appearances are a dime a dozen."
That makes a lot of sense.
Lu Xiaoyun couldn't help but swallow hard.
Zhu Yu slowly approached Lu Xiaoyun.
Lu Xiaoyun straightened her back, pressing herself against the wall: "Zhu, Zhu Yu, don't, don't be impulsive..."
A strong smell of alcohol wafted out.
Zhu Yu sniffed: "You've been drinking?"
Lu Xiaoyun stood on tiptoe and nodded: "Yes, I drank a little."
"Drinking with Ayan? Missing me, so you're drowning your sorrows in alcohol? I thought you were hiding somewhere heartbroken, turns out you've learned to drink."
Zhu Yu smiled, and Lu Xiaoyun had gone so far as to drink to drown her sorrows for him.
"If you miss me, come see me. Remember not to drink next time, it's bad for your health." Zhu Yu hooked Lu Xiaoyun's sleeve and shook it.
Lu Xiaoyun wanted to say, "You're overthinking it."
"No, I had something to discuss with Qi Shaocheng, so I had a drink with him at Wangxianglou."
"You were drinking with Qi Shaocheng! Lu Xiaoyun, you actually drank with him?!" Zhu Yu raised his voice.
Why did you get so angry?
"Miss, are you not asleep? Would you like me to come in and serve you?" Upon hearing the voice and seeing the faint light in the young lady's room, Li Feng quickly put on an outer robe and came out.
"Hey..." Lu Xiaoyun was about to say something when Zhu Yu covered her mouth.
"It's alright, go to sleep. Don't come into the room without my permission."
Lu Xiaoyun's gaze fell on Zhu Yu's hand covering her mouth, and the fragrant smell of wine wafting from her nose made Zhu Yu's palm feel warm.
Li Feng scratched her head, gave a puzzled "oh," and was about to go inside when she looked down and saw a tall, dark figure slowly approaching her from behind.
Li Feng turned pale with fright and stood there motionless, trembling like a leaf. Could it be that his young lady had been taken hostage inside the house?
Li Feng was about to cry: "Come..."
Just as he was about to shout for help, the person behind him suddenly stepped forward and covered Li Feng's mouth: "Don't shout, give me your most valuable possession!"
Li Feng trembled with fear and nodded frantically.
The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion has secret guards, so why didn't any of them come out? Where did they go?
Li Feng was about to cry.
The dark figure dragged Li Feng into her room.
Once inside, the shadowy figure covered Li Feng's hand and mouth with one hand and slammed the door shut with a flick of his toe.
The shadowy figure released Li Feng.
Li Feng dared not look back, knowing that the man in black meant for her to bring the most valuable items from inside the house.
She walked towards the bedside, where the most valuable item was the jade hairpin that her mistress had given her the day before yesterday.
But as soon as she took a step forward, the man in black grabbed her and pulled her over: "Isn't yourself the most valuable thing?"
Upon hearing the voice, Li Feng realized she had been tricked and angrily stomped on the man's instep: "Jiang Chuan, are you out of your mind? You can scare people to death, don't you know that?!"
Jiang Chuan clutched his foot, yelling in pain, "Ouch, ouch, ouch! Little Li Feng, where did you get so much strength? I haven't brought you anything good to eat these past two days. What has the Princess been feeding you?"
Li Feng was terrified and kicked Jiang Chuan hard in the calf again: "You scared me! You scared me!"
"I was wrong, I was wrong, good Li Feng, please stop kicking me, or I won't be able to serve the prince anymore."
Li Feng glared at him angrily: "What are you doing here?"
Jiang Chuan grinned as he rubbed his sore calf, "I came with the prince. He missed the princess and couldn't sleep. He finally made it tonight and brought me here."
He looked like a complete idiot who had wandered into a village.
He pulled a pine flower cake from his pocket: "I had the main kitchen make it this afternoon. I put it in my pocket when I came over, and it's still warm. I know you love this the most, so eat up."
Li Feng pinched a piece and put it in his mouth, his cheeks puffed out: "Mmm, delicious."
They immediately forgot all about Jiang Chuan's prank.
This little girl is so easy to please.
Jiang Chuan chuckled as he looked at Li Feng, fidgeting nervously with the hem of his clothes, and murmured softly, "I... I missed you too. Did you... did you miss me?"
His voice was so low it was like a mosquito's buzz, completely lacking the mischievousness he had displayed earlier.
Li Feng didn't hear him at all. While stuffing a pine flower cake into his mouth, he asked, "The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion has secret guards. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by them if you come in like this?"
Jiang Chuan gave a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Xi Yi and Wu Chuan led them around in circles."
Li Feng rolled her eyes. So the secret guards of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion were really this useless.
It's not really the fault of the Duke of Zhenguo's secret guards being useless. Firstly, Xi Yi and Wu Chuan brought more than two hundred people, while the Duke of Zhenguo's secret guards only numbered about fifty at most.
Secondly, the secret guards trained by Zhu Yu were all top-notch experts, so it was understandable that they could easily outmaneuver him.
Furthermore, most of the people in the manor were sent to Mu City by Cui Li, who was disguised as a wealthy merchant, by the Duke of Zhenguo.
The entire Zhenguo Duke's mansion had fewer than thirty servants in total.
Only five guards remained.
Inside the room, Zhu Yu cornered Lu Xiaoyun against the wall, his hand still covering her mouth.
Lu Xiaoyun felt her ears burning and pulled Zhu Yu's hand away: "It's Jiang Chuan, he..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Yu wrapped his arms around Lu Xiaoyun's slender waist and buried his head in her chest.
Lu Xiaoyun: "..."
They were having a perfectly normal conversation, so why did he suddenly throw himself into her arms?
"Promise me you won't go to see Qi Shaocheng alone again, okay?" Zhu Yu said in a muffled voice, with a strong nasal tone.
Lu Xiaoyun's lips twitched. She really wanted to tell him that Qi Shaocheng was determined to marry no one but him.
After returning to his residence, he would likely quarrel with Marquis Yongbo and his wife.
If these two elders can't resist and come to my father's door to propose marriage, then we're really doomed.
Lu Xiaoyun's lips twitched: "I didn't go alone. I brought Jiang Chuan, and Qi Shaocheng also brought his entourage. There are four of us."
"That won't do either. You can't see other men in the future. I'll feel uncomfortable if I find out."
Anyway, the thought of Lu Xiaoyun's previous engagement with Qi Shaocheng made him feel uncomfortable all over.
If he had known it would turn out like this, he would have found a young lady for Qi Shaocheng to marry back in the Northwest.
The daughter of the governor of Pingcheng County would be a good candidate.
He doesn't even have the right to sit and drink with Lu Xiaoyun now!
snort!
