"It looked nice, so I bought it, but I don't like these things."
Wan Ruo smiled and said, "Where did you buy it? I've never seen such a rare rabbit lamp before."
He picked up the teacup and drank the tea: "I forgot."
Suddenly, there was a commotion on the street that had just been bustling with celebrations. People downstairs began to run around in a crowded manner, and screams were heard.
Wanruo was startled and turned to look at Xiadian, only to see a group of people rushing towards her with torches in their hands.
We are here for Xiangrui Tower!
Wanruo's face froze as she stared blankly at Xie Xianyu, "What happened?"
Xie Xianyu's eyes darkened slightly as he looked at the group of people holding guns and fighting their way into the building below. "I'm not sure, but it looks like something's going to happen."
Wanruo's face turned pale. Something happened again? Why was she so unlucky?
"Then what should we do?" Wanruo hurriedly stood up, "Is it too late for us to leave now?"
"It's too late, they've already rushed in."
"Then, then go through the back door!"
Xie Xianyu glanced at her desperate look. How had he believed her lies about committing suicide?
Wanruo hurried to leave, but he pulled her back: "How could there be no one guarding the back door for such a purposeful pursuit? Are you so anxious to die?"
"What should I do then?"
Xie Xianyu blew out the lamp on the table and pulled her into a cabinet in the corner of the room.
The cabinet was narrow, and once the two of them stood in it, they filled up the remaining space.
But Wanruo didn't care about that this time. She lowered her voice in fear and asked, "Is it really okay to hide here? Will they search the cabinets?"
"No, they're not coming for us."
"Who is that directed at?"
"King Xuan, he is holding a banquet on the second floor today."
Wanruo was horrified. It turned out that this time it was not the horse bandits who were causing the rebellion, but they were implicated in the struggle for the throne in the court.
But no matter what the reason, human life is no different from grass in front of the sword, and her life is the same.
"Then can you fight your way out? Aren't you good at fighting?"
His voice was very cold: "Yes, I will fight for my life to get you out of here. I will take the beatings and it doesn't matter to you anyway."
“…”
Wanruo didn't say anything else. She just stared at the crack of the cabinet door with bated breath. Listening to the sounds of killing and screams coming from outside, she shuddered unconsciously all over.
He lowered his eyes and looked at her in his arms. His eyes, which were either pretending to be obedient or cold and ruthless, were now filled with panic.
Like a frightened little rabbit, she was held in his arms without realizing it.
Maybe she knew, but her fear overcame her reason. She was still clutching his clothes tightly, and even when she heard the murderous screams, she was so scared that she wanted to bury her head in his arms.
He felt a rare peace in his heart. It had been a long time since he had hugged her properly.
At this moment, in this small and empty cabinet, she finally had no time to care about anything else. She leaned tightly in his arms, as if holding a piece of driftwood begging for love. Her world was filled with him.
Wanruo was nervous, but suddenly she felt the body she was leaning against start to heat up, and there was a hard object pressing against her lower abdomen...
She raised her head suddenly and met his bottomless dark eyes, seeing the faint clamor of desire.
Her hair stood on end in an instant. He was now more terrifying than these murderous bandits.
She immediately tried to push him away, but he grabbed her lower back and held her tightly in his arms, forcing her to be unable to move.
His deep voice was slightly hoarse, and he sprayed hot air on her ears: "Don't move, someone is here."
