Oh no! Su Yin didn't even need to look to feel Dong Chengyao's gaze piercing the tent. Amidst the noisy discussions around her, Su Yin clutched her clothes nervously, her heart suddenly tensing.
"What's wrong with you?" Xi Chen asked in a low voice after noticing that Su Yin was not right.
"It's okay, just a little tired." Su Yin forced a smile at Xi Chen, her gaze quickly returning to the closed tent in front of her, fearing Dong Chengyao might pounce on her if she wasn't careful. She'd expected to run into Dong Chengyao once she entered the jungle, but she hadn't expected their meeting to come so soon. But considering the time, Dong Chengyao probably wouldn't even remember her, a mere minion who was just there for show.
"Brother Xichen, long time no see." Dongcheng Yao chuckled, and under the gaze of everyone, he slowly moved forward and stopped in front of Xichen's tent.
"Why, old friends meeting each other, Brother Xichen, won't you come down to see me?" The corners of his mouth slowly curled up into an extremely gorgeous smile. He was dressed in blood-red clothes, with an enchantingly handsome face, standing among Xichen's many guards, chatting and laughing.
"Brother Dongcheng, you are joking. However, now I should be called the head of the Dongcheng family. When brother Dongcheng ascended the position of the head of the Dongcheng family, I was busy and didn't have time to explain to you. It was really unreasonable." As he said this, Xi Chen moved his body slightly and was about to lift the curtain of the car.
"No!" Su Yin said in a low voice, quickly reaching out to stop Xi Chen's actions, and shook his head slightly at her inquiring eyes.
"Huh?" Dongcheng Yao frowned impatiently as the tent shook slightly for a moment before falling silent. What the hell?
After a while, Xi Chen's voice was heard from the carriage tent. "I'm so sorry, I've been on the road these past few days and haven't had time to wash up properly. I'm sorry I didn't meet the head of the Dongcheng family yet."
"Oh? Really?" Dongcheng Yao raised his eyebrows slightly and his gaze was fixed on the carriage again.
After taking a closer look, Dongcheng Yao curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Then I'll say goodbye to Brother Xichen for now. We'll talk another day." As he said that, Dongcheng Yao took a light step and slowly walked past Xi Chen's carriage tent under the gaze of countless Xi family guards.
"Huh..." Su Yin couldn't help but sigh softly, his heart finally settling down. Fortunately, fortunately, this evildoer didn't act stubbornly this time, otherwise, he would be in a really difficult situation.
Dong Chengyao smiled gratefully at Xi Chen. When his carriages met Xi Chen's, a breeze happened to blow open a corner of the curtain. He accidentally caught a glimpse of a face with a bright smile in the carriage. Dong Chengyao's heart was also startled.
Was it her? A small face the size of a palm, those clear eyes, a smile on her face, a mischievous mouth... He couldn't mistake her. Was it her? Hadn't she disappeared? How could she suddenly appear here, next to Xi Chen again? Was she the one who just stopped him and Xi Chen from meeting? What had happened?
Dongcheng Yao held his pace, turned his head, and silently watched Xi Chen's team moving slowly forward. He just stood there, and the breeze still blew his fiery red robe into various shapes. He looked at the long team in front of him, in the shadows, and for a while, an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
