Xiao Yunyu looked at Shen Qianye beside her, her eyes darkened.
He stood up and walked towards Li Nian, and asked in a soft and low voice as if accusing her, "Niannian, what are you doing with him so late?"
Li Nian looked at him warily and explained, "His sister got separated from us when we were fleeing. We returned to Dong'an City today to see if she's back. If not, we'll continue looking for her southward."
Xiao Yunyu felt that her words sounded half true and half false, but no matter what, she must trust this man very much since she could ask him for help at this time.
He lowered his head slightly, getting closer to her. "You have a good relationship with him? Why did you help find his sister when she was missing? And why did you leave the city together in the middle of the night?"
"We..." Li Nian was thinking about how to make up a story to get away with it when Jinhe in his arms suddenly started crying loudly.
Li Nian thought of Jin He's need for milk in the middle of the night, so she hurriedly said, "Xiao Yunyu, the child is hungry. Can I take the child home first? We can talk about other things later."
The baby's crying was particularly loud in the night.
The distance between Xiao Yunyu and her was getting closer and closer.
Li Nian stared at him warily and took a few steps back: "What do you want to do?"
"I'll take you home." Xiao Yunyu pursed his lips, looking aggrieved. "Why are you so wary of me? Does that mean he's worthy of your trust?"
He pointed at Shen Qianye beside him, his voice filled with accusations.
Jin He kept crying, and Li Nian didn't care too much. He raised his head and said to Xiao Yunyu: "Tell your men not to hurt Shen Qianye first, and wait until I send the child back."
Xiao Yunyu glanced at the childish-looking Shen Qianye, snorted unhappily, and ordered his men: "It's a misunderstanding, let him go."
After saying that, he immediately moved closer to Li Nian and said, "I'll take you back. Don't let the child starve."
Li Nian said "hmm" and quickly walked out with the child in her arms.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the government office. Xiao Yunyu helped Li Nian into the carriage. Feeling the cold temperature of her hand, he frowned and immediately took off his robe and threw it into the carriage.
"Put it on, don't catch a cold."
Li Nian grabbed his robe and threw it out, saying, "No need, there are blankets in the carriage."
While Xiao Yunyu was driving the carriage, Li Nian exchanged some milk with the system and fed the baby in the carriage.
Jinhe stopped crying immediately after having something to drink.
When the carriage stopped at the door of Li's house, the sky was already slightly bright, and the morning light revealed a white ray across the eastern sky.
"Knock knock knock" Li Nian gently knocked on the wet nurse's door.
"Who?" The nurse's voice seemed a little alert.
Li Nian quickly replied, "It's me."
"Miss?" The wet nurse exclaimed in surprise, and then there was the rustling sound of someone getting up.
The sound of footsteps approached in the house, and the door opened with a creak. The wet nurse's hair was loose, but her expression was very clear.
"Miss, why are you back again?"
Li Nian: He was caught and brought back!
She didn't dare say this, as Xiao Yunyu was still standing in the yard.
Li Nian smiled at the nurse and said, "Please continue to take care of Jinhe. She just cried and seems to be hungry."
When the nurse heard this, she quickly stretched out her hands to take the child, and then said to Li Nian: "If you are tired, go and rest early."
Li Nian responded "Okay". She was indeed tired, both tired and sleepy.
Li Nian felt a headache when he thought about having to deal with Xiao Yunyu. He was used to a quiet life, and suddenly such a difficult guy showed up. It was really annoying.
Li Nian stood on the steps, looking at Xiao Yunyu who was standing like a statue in the yard.
Li Nian pointed toward the main entrance and hesitated, "Do you... want to go back first?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the man who had been standing quietly in the yard moved forward instead of retreating. With his long legs, he came to her in just a few steps. His tall body was hidden by the light, making it difficult to see his expression at the moment.
"Don't chase me away, okay?" Xiao Yunyu deliberately lowered his voice to sound a little aggrieved.
Hearing this, Li Nian hurriedly pushed him: "What do you want to do? I haven't slept all night and I'm very sleepy now. You go back first."
Xiao Yunyu looked at her upturned face, her brows furrowed, her face full of vigilance towards him.
Was he really unworthy of her trust? To avoid him, she went to find such a naive boy to take her away?
Xiao Yunyu slowly leaned forward, his low voice sounding incredibly sweet and flattering: "I can live in the west wing, I just... miss you so much."
"Nian Nian~~" Su Ci's voice was deliberately lowered and the ending tone was prolonged. It penetrated into the eardrum through the ear, like an electric current passing through the brain.
"Xiao Yunyu!" Li Nian came back to her senses and pushed him away fiercely, angrily whispering a warning: "Don't call me that again!"
Some images of the two of them flashed through his mind, and Li Nian's cheeks were burning with anger.
Xiao Yunyu definitely did it on purpose!
Li Nian glared at him and pointed at him in warning: "I'm going to sleep, you are not allowed to come in now!"
"Bang!" Li Nian quickly turned around and closed the door.
She shook her head and warned herself: Don't think about it, don't think about it. Xiao Yunyu is very difficult to deal with. He will shine with a little sunshine. She must not be blinded by his lust!
Xiao Yunyu looked at the closed door, just standing there quietly, without saying a word, with a lonely expression.
He knew clearly that he was not accepted and that he annoyed her, but he was reluctant to leave.
The night sky in the east was gradually lifted by the sun, revealing more and more light.
The setting sun from the east shone on the wooden pillars of the eaves, dyeing the surroundings of Xiao Yunyu golden. Only his body stood in the shadow of the wooden pillars, creating a lonely and cold world of his own.
