Chapter 19 In the Embrace



She was ecstatic, as if she had found a life-saving straw, and she grabbed Xu Jinghuai's cloak tightly.

Different from the past.

Xu Jinghuai wore a crescent-shaped white brocade robe and a snow-white mink cloak.

At first glance, it seems to have merged into this snowy day.

This was a good place to hide. Without hesitation, she crawled into Xu Jinghuai's wide cloak.

"Save me!"

Xu Jinghuai frowned and was about to push her away.

Unexpectedly, she hugged him around the waist and started to act like a spoiled child.

"Xu Jinghuai, don't push me away!!"

Xu Jinghuai froze, and said coldly, "Stay away from me!"

But he did not push her away. Seeing that Yan Shuyao and Xu Jingye were almost in sight, Xu Jinghuai ran a few steps in the other direction until he reached a bush, and then with a light move, he took Yan Yunshu with him.

Hid in another bush.

The heavy snow was falling all over the place, without stopping, as if it was going to bury the entire world.

Yan Yunshu hid in Xu Jinghuai's arms, listening only to the sound of his strong and pounding heartbeat. The warmth inside the cloak was like spring, blocking out all the sounds from outside.

That’s great… The prey came to me on its own initiative, sliced and covered with sauce, saving my life.

Isn't that good...

Yan Yunshu was immersed in an extreme sense of security. The string that had been tense since yesterday finally relaxed completely. Unconsciously, she became more and more sleepy and confused.

Then, she actually fell asleep.

Yan Shuyao and Xu Jingye, who came hurriedly, looked around blankly at the place where the footprints disappeared.

The snow was so heavy that the footprints were not clear to begin with, and now they are completely invisible.

"Brother Ye, I clearly saw my sister coming here just now, how come she disappeared?"

"It doesn't matter. Let her go. She'll be back sooner or later anyway. She won't be able to hold this charade for long."

"But Brother Ye, Yao'er is still worried. Sister has never been so resolute towards His Highness. If she really marries the Second Prince, what will Brother Ye do..."

"Absolutely not!"

"Brother Ye, Yao'er, Yao'er likes me, but I like Brother Ye even more. Yao'er just hopes that you will be happy."

"Yao'er, I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position. Although Yan Yunshu's behavior is very unpredictable, I know her too well. She will never give up on me. She is my dog! I can control her without doing anything!"

"Brother Ye, please don't talk about me like that. It makes me feel uncomfortable."

"Alas! Yao'er, you are so pure and kind. If I were not there to protect you, what would you do?"

"Brother Ye, don't worry about Yao'er. Yao'er, Yao'er can take care of herself!"

"Yao'er, you are always so sensible that it makes me feel distressed. If your sister was even one ten-thousandth as good as you, something like this wouldn't have happened today."

"Brother Ye...Sister is also very good..."

"Yao'er, on that winter night three years ago when you risked your life to save me, I made up my mind to love only you in this life. Now, between your sister and I... I hope you understand that everything I do is only for our future."

"Brother Ye..."

The sound gradually faded away.

Xu Jinghuai looked at the two people's receding backs with a cold gaze.

After a long time, he lowered his head and looked at the person sleeping in his arms.

shook his head.

He brought her to Caiyunfang, the largest restaurant in Tianze Country, and carefully placed her on the couch in the quiet room on the top floor.

Then he looked at her face which was sometimes peaceful and sometimes struggling.

There was a hint of surprise on his face, as cold as ice.

What a breathtaking and peerless beauty this is. She has lost the childishness of her youth and has become more charming and beautiful. She even looks a little cute when she pouts occasionally.

Finally restored to the appearance of three years ago.

Can……

She is so cute, yet she is trapped in her inner demons.

For three years, I gave up my dignity for Xu Jingye, suffered injuries for Xu Jingye, got bloodied for Xu Jingye, became my enemy for Xu Jingye, and gave everything for Xu Jingye.

Even though she knew that Xu Jingye would only treat her as a dog in the end, she was still happy with it!!

Do you have to die in his hands before you can truly give up on him?

Xu Jinghuai clenched his hands tightly, his emotions surging, and his face was filled with lingering hatred.

Outside the window, heavy snow was still falling. Yan Yunshu had slept for a whole incense stick of time, and she was constantly lost in her dreams.

Fragments of the past flashed by one by one, and finally she saw her former self kneeling on the ground, pulling at the corner of Xu Jingye's clothes, begging him not to be angry, while the noble men and ladies beside her were mocking and laughing at her.

"What a dog!"

"No matter how arrogant and domineering you are in the Prime Minister's Residence, in the eyes of our First Prince, you are nothing more than a dog that can be summoned and dismissed at will!"

"A dog is better than her! She is simply the most shameless woman I have ever seen!"

“Dog skin plaster!!!”

She saw Yan Shuyao coming to her side, her face full of hypocritical concern, "Don't talk about my sister like that! I just love His Highness too much!"

Seeing Yan Shuyao looking at Xu Jingye, "Brother Ye, please forgive me! She definitely didn't mean to knock over the cup of tea and stain my dress just now!"

"Oh, Miss Yan Shuyao is simply too innocent and kind! She actually defends such a stupid and bad sister in every possible way!"

"Sister Yan Shuyao is both cute and lively, yet dignified and virtuous. She is simply a perfect woman!"

"Sister Yan Shuyao is like flawless white jade, without any flaws. If you insist on saying she has a flaw, it's because you're overly protective of her shameless sister!"
