She didn't dare move anymore and could only lean stiffly in his arms. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest when her fingers touched his naked chest. Her mind uncontrollably emerged with the image of him getting up from the bathtub naked just now.
He lowered his eyes and looked at her red face. She leaned against him tightly, and he could naturally feel her rapid heartbeat.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly. He couldn't change his mind even if it happened over again. How could he not know what kind of person she was?
Whenever he wore white clothes, she could not help but look at him twice. She was very delicate in bed and would be unhappy if he was teased a little. But if she could be coaxed with a gentle voice, she would be happy.
The killer outside was about to rummage into their closet. Wanruo clutched his clothes tightly in fear, as if she was grasping at her last straw.
He held her in his arms and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Wanruo looked up in a daze, and there was a hint of dependence in her misty eyes.
Just as the killers were closing in on him, there was a sudden noise outside the window. The killer leader shouted, "There's movement over there. I'm afraid he's trying to escape out the window! Chase him!"
"yes!"
The killers then evacuated from the house.
Xie Xianyu heard the killer leave and whispered in her ear, "They seem to be gone."
Wanruo was still in the aftermath of the robbery, her face pale as she asked, "Really?"
He lowered his eyes to look at her: "You can let me go now."
Wanruo was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted. She hurriedly let go of the hand that was holding his clothes. Xie Xianyu pushed open the door of the wardrobe and walked out.
Wanruo followed him out in a hurry. When she looked up, she saw that the pajamas he was wearing had been wrinkled by her, and there were a few finger marks on his half-open chest where she had accidentally scratched it.
She lowered her head hastily, not daring to look up at him like a quail: "Nothing, I'll leave first."
"Wait, I'll take you there."
"No need, I can go back by myself." Wanruo wanted to escape from him eagerly.
But he said in a gentle voice: "What I mean is, I will go back with you."
"ah?"
"You can see that there are assassins in my house. If they can't catch the killer, they might come back. It's not safe for me to live here."
"Then you return to Beijing..."
"My half-brother has always been cautious. He will definitely set an ambush on the way back to the capital and wait for me to die. I can only hide in Lincheng for a while. I don't know anyone in Lincheng, so I can only use your family to bother you for a while."
Wan Ruo was stunned: "Then why don't you stay at the inn?"
He looked at her with his dark eyes and said in a gentle voice, "I'm not used to staying in an inn."
Yes, how could a young master like him, who has been living in luxury since childhood, get used to staying in an inn?
Wanruo's words of rejection were stuck in her throat. Looking into his gentle eyes, she couldn't utter a word.
He is her mother's savior!
Wanruo lowered her head guiltily: "Oh."
"Then please go out and wait for me, girl."
"Why?"
He seemed a little helpless: "I need to change clothes."
His pajamas were already in a state of disrepair after being ruined by her.
Wanruo's neck suddenly turned red and she immediately turned around and ran out.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, he finally came out dressed neatly. His white robe was still as smooth as jade, and he was as holy and inviolable as a banished immortal.
And just now, she was like a lecher who had violated him. Wanruo's throat was blocked and she followed him like a quail.
He turned his head and glanced at her. She was okay, a little more cautious than before. It seems that lack of experience also has its disadvantages.
She should be miserable for a few days.
Wanruo brought Xie Xianyu back to the Xu family and explained the situation to Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu. Mr. Xu immediately gave him a warm welcome and arranged the nicest courtyard for Xie Xianyu so that he could live there with peace of mind.
Xie Xianyu naturally moved into the Xu family.
Wanruo tossed and turned for half the night, unable to fall asleep. The moment she closed her eyes, she saw Xie Xianyu rising from the bathtub. She turned over and buried her head in the quilt, forcing herself not to think about him, but the image of his shirt, torn by her grasp, resurfaced in her mind...
Wanruo suddenly threw back the quilt, covering her face with her hands, so ashamed and angry that she couldn't immediately bang her head against the wall.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Su Yue hurried in to see what was happening after hearing the noise.
Wanruo lay on the bed sullenly: "Nothing."
"Oh! Why is your face so red? Did you catch a cold?" Su Yue asked hurriedly.
Wanruo, however, was furious and sat up from the bed with a thud: "I didn't!"
Su Yue looked at her blankly: "What happened?"
Wan Ruo was so frustrated that she couldn't speak. She could only fall back on the bed and bury her face in the soft pillow: "Anyway, there is no such thing!"
Su Yue couldn't help laughing: "Miss, you look like you are missing Mr. Lin, right?"
Wanruo's face froze, and she suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable guilt in her heart.
