Chapter 39: He wants to come day and night!
Xie Yan pretended not to hear Ruan Yunsheng's last words and said in a low voice, "I was naive back then. Once an assassin, always an assassin. There was no chance of retiring."
Ruan Yunsheng: "...Is that so."
Xie Yan continued, "Five years ago, I heard that the princess fell into an icy lake and disappeared. I wonder if she is doing well now?"
"I'm lucky to be back alive." Ruan Yunsheng said casually, "It's cold outside. Come in first and we'll talk."
Xie Yan's Adam's apple rolled, and he couldn't help but take two steps forward, but then stopped with restraint.
"Or... I'd better stand outside and talk."
Every time he got too close to Shengsheng, his self-control would drop sharply.
Although he had made sufficient preparations before coming, wearing a mask, changing clothes, changing his voice, and even changing the incense... he was still worried that he would be exposed in other ways.
Shengsheng already hated "Xie Yan" very much.
If she knew that "Chuwu" was the same person as Xie Yan, whom she hated the most, she would definitely be very angry.
Seeing that he refused to come in, Ruan Yunsheng frowned and said, "It's so cold, and you're chatting with the window open. Are you going to freeze me to death?"
Xie Yan restrained himself and turned his gaze away from Ruan Yunsheng. He said in a hoarse voice, "My lord, you can close the window. I can hear you talking even from outside."
Ruan Yunsheng looked at him twice and tapped the window frame with his fingertips. "Oh, I understand."
"In fact, you don't want to come to see this princess at all, right? Because Chuqi found you, you had to come, and you came reluctantly, but you don't want to say a word."
"In that case, you can leave now. I will pretend that I have never seen you tonight."
The smile on Ruan Yunsheng's face had disappeared, and he was about to close the window after he finished speaking.
Xie Yan's heart tightened, and he hurried forward to hold her hand that was closing the window. He touched Ruan Yunsheng's jade-like skin, but immediately let go as if it was burned.
"Princess, that's not what I meant!"
How could he not want to?
He wants to come day and night!
He was afraid that he would lose control of his selfishness and hurt her again...
Ruan Yunsheng still had a stern face. "What do you mean?"
When she saved Chuwu, he said he would repay her for the rest of his life!
As a result, five years ago, he suddenly said that he was tired of the life of fighting and killing and wanted to quit the underworld to live a stable life.
Although she was a little unhappy, she didn't say anything. After all, life on the edge of a knife was never safe and she might die one day.
So that day in Xingshi Building, she really just asked casually and had no intention of forcing Chuwu to come back.
As a result, this person came back, but kept his distance from her.
When Ruan Yunsheng got angry, Xie Yan panicked instantly.
He coughed a few times and begged for mercy, "I'm just worried about damaging the princess's reputation."
Ruan Yunsheng snorted coldly: "If you don't tell me and I don't tell anyone, who would know? If a third person knows, it must be you who leaked it!"
Ruan Yunsheng's words made Xie Yan so excited that his heart beat faster.
It sounds like everyone else is an outsider except the two of them!
After five years, Xie Yan's heart softened when he heard Sheng Sheng "acting coquettishly" again.
He tried hard to suppress his rapid breathing, coughed a few times and changed the subject: "Princess, I have something to tell you."
Ruan Yunsheng raised her chin slightly, and said in a proud tone: "You want to say it, and this princess must listen?"
Xie Yan coaxed her: "Please listen to me, Princess, please?"
"I was wrong just now. I didn't know what was good for me. My lady princess is magnanimous. Please don't bother with me."
The reason why "Chuwu" was rescued by Ruan Yunsheng was because he was very good at coaxing people.
After Xie Yan begged for a long time, Ruan Yunsheng finally stopped frowning.
She said arrogantly, "If you don't listen to me, don't come here anymore."
Xie Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "I promise I won't dare to do that again."
Ruan Yunsheng snorted complacently, turned around and went back to the room to sit down.
Xie Yan immediately climbed in through the window. Remembering that the doors and windows of Yuehua Courtyard were poisoned, he was particularly careful not to touch them with his hands, but instead closed the window with his palm.
Ruan Yunsheng sat at the table and poured himself a cup of scented tea.
"Tell me, what's the matter."
Xie Yan came this time to dissuade Ruan Yunsheng from going to the Taiwei Mansion.
He said apologetically, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have left Shengjing. Chuqi was unreliable and told the princess something that hadn't been verified. I've already punished him."
Ruan Yunsheng nodded in agreement, "I also think that Chuqi is not very reliable, but I want to go to the Taiwei Mansion, not only because of Chuqi's words, but also because I want to investigate myself."
Xie Yan frowned, "What does the princess want to know? Why don't you let me check it out!"
Ruan Yunsheng shook his head. "I don't know either. I have no clues or leads at the moment, so I have to go there myself."
If there really is something wrong with the Taiwei Mansion, then she will definitely be able to find clues.
Xie Yan closed his eyes helplessly.
Once Shengsheng makes a decision, few people can shake it.
In this case, he must ensure that Shengsheng will not be harmed when investigating the Taiwei Mansion. At the same time, he must also give Shengsheng enough time to investigate.
Just when Xie Yan was lost in thought, Ruan Yunsheng suddenly reached out for the mask on his face!
Xie Yan's heart tightened, and he immediately stepped back more than ten steps, asking in doubt and surprise, "Princess?"
Ruan Yunsheng was not embarrassed and blinked her sparkling peach blossom eyes innocently.
"We've known each other for so long, and this princess still doesn't know what you look like. Take off your mask and let me see."
Xie Yan's Adam's apple rolled, and he said hoarsely, "It doesn't look good."
Ruan Yunsheng didn't care much: "It doesn't matter. If it's not good, I'll just watch it once and then I won't watch it again."
Xie Yan coughed a few times, "I was on a mission before and my face was accidentally disfigured... I was afraid it would scare the princess."
"Is that so..." Ruan Yunsheng withdrew his hand and sighed regretfully, "It wouldn't be a problem if you were more ordinary-looking, but being disfigured is really not a good idea."
Xie Yan was puzzled, "What's not working?"
"Nothing," Ruan Yunsheng said casually, "I want to marry a princess into my family, but there's no rush for this. Let's talk about it later."
Xie Yan's breath was caught and he lowered his eyes to hide the pain in them.
Shengsheng wants to recruit a princess, could this person be Su Muyan?
His eyes fell on the ground, and he suddenly noticed the familiar pot of green-calyx plum in the corner.
Shengsheng obviously doesn’t like the color green, but she puts the green-calyx plum tree in her room for viewing. Could it be that... she really likes Su Muyan?
Xie Yan tried to hold back, but couldn't help it and asked hoarsely, "Does the princess like green-calyx plum blossoms? I've never seen green flowers here before."
Ruan Yunsheng wanted to say that she didn't like it. This green-calyx plum was picked up by her third brother and then placed on the ground.
When the words came to her lips, she suddenly changed her tone: "A friend gave it to me. It looks okay."
Since everyone has changed, why can't she change?
She has new friends too!
Xie Yan's eyes trembled.
Shengsheng has already considered Su Muyan as a friend so quickly?
