"You've been secretly observing us all this time?" I was furious. Today was supposed to be a happy and joyful day, so why did Liu Lieyu have to show up at this time?
Liu Lieyu didn't answer my question. Instead, he squinted at me and asked, "Xin'er, aren't you curious about where Feng Su is right now?"
I clenched my fists, wanting to rush over and grab Liu Lieyu by the neck to interrogate him about where he had taken Feng Su, but Youyi grabbed my arm and told me to calm down.
"What a pity." Liu Lieyu strolled in the courtyard and even went into our room. Youze and I followed Liu Lieyu from a distance, carefully watching his every move.
Liu Lieyu's gaze fell on the food You had prepared today. He strolled leisurely around the table, and then surprisingly reached out a hand to pick up a chopstick and took a bite.
You and I watched helplessly as Liu Lieyu picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth. If we had known this was going to happen, we should have poisoned the food beforehand. Unfortunately, there is no "if only" or "if only".
Liu Lieyu took a small bite, put down his chopsticks, and praised, "It tastes really good."
Liu Lieyu turned to look at me, a hint of something unreadable in his eyes. "You did this?"
I ignored him. It seems that Liu Lieyu had just discovered us, otherwise he would know that the food here was made by You.
Liu Lieyu was used to me ignoring him and not getting angry even when I didn't give him a friendly look. He said to himself with a regretful tone, "What a pity. I remember Feng Su loved to eat delicious food. It's a pity that he will never be able to eat all of these dishes again."
I couldn't stand Liu Lieyu's sarcastic tone in front of me anymore. "What exactly did you do to Feng Su?"
"Want to know?" Liu Lieyu asked with a smile when he saw that I had finally taken the bait. "Come over if you want to know." With that, Liu Lieyu stretched out his hand and beckoned to me.
"Xin'er, don't go." You pulled me behind her and stood in front of me. "Donghuang, isn't this too despicable? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world? What will your subordinates think of you?"
Liu Lieyu remained unmoved. "What do they think of me and Guan? I only know that what belongs to me, I must take back."
Liu Lieyu is not someone who cares about empty fame.
You frowned, instinctively retorting, "Xin'er is no good, she has her own ideas."
Liu Lieyu smiled faintly, not arguing with You, but continuing to ask me, "Xin'er, are you sure you don't want to go see Feng Su?"
My fingers are practically twisted into a rope. What should I do? I can't ignore Feng Su, but I can't just stupidly run towards Liu Lieyu either. Who knows what Liu Lieyu will do to You after he catches me?
Suddenly, a pair of slightly cold, large hands touched my tightly clenched hands. I looked up at You.
You lowered her head and smiled faintly at me, whispering, "Xin'er, do you believe me?"
Before I could even react, I instinctively nodded slightly.
You smiled with relief, gently separated my intertwined fingers, and then patted my head to comfort me, "Then be a good girl and wait for me here. Don't worry, I will protect you and Feng Su. Don't fret."
I stared blankly at You, who remained calm and composed. The anxiety and fear in my heart seemed to vanish instantly. I smiled and nodded emphatically, "Okay."
Seeing that I was feeling better, You smiled at me before turning her head to look at Liu Lieyu across from her.
Seeing You and me whispering sweet nothings to each other, Liu Lieyu's face grew even darker. He coldly said, "Nu Xin, it seems you don't care about Feng Su's life or death."
I glanced at Liu Lieyu, then looked away. You told me to trust him, so I trusted him!
No matter what Liu Lieyu says on the other end, I won't panic anymore.
"Donghuang, I'm curious how you found me here?" You stepped forward and asked.
Liu Lieyu glanced at You and said in an arrogant tone, "Your skills are lacking, so who can you blame? Did you think your little tricks could fool me before?"
"Whether you can hide it or not, you've managed to keep it a secret for these past few days, haven't you?" You countered without the slightest doubt about himself. "I'm quite satisfied with the acupuncture technique I set up. Logically speaking, you shouldn't have been able to find this place."
Liu Lieyu was taken aback, not expecting You to be so confident. "Your acupuncture skills are indeed excellent. If it weren't for Feng Su walking right into my trap, I might never have found you."
Feng Su walked right into the trap? What does that mean? I was completely dumbfounded. Wasn't Feng Su just going fishing? Why would she bring Liu Lieyu along?
Seeing my puzzled look, Liu Lieyu spoke up, "Let me tell you how important it is to have a reliable teammate."
Is Liu Lieyu referring to Feng Su as a terrible teammate? Although Feng Su may not always be the sharpest tool in the shed and can be impulsive, she is definitely not a terrible teammate.
“I have been searching for you all, but the three of you seem to have vanished into thin air. No matter how hard my men search, they have found nothing. But today, do you know what I discovered?” Liu Lieyu asked, raising his eyes, but no one paid him any attention.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Liu Lieyu continued, "Our people found Feng Su, who hadn't been seen for many days. When I found him, that silly boy Feng Su was still fishing by the river."
Feng Su was just fishing by the river, so how could she have been discovered? I also went to the river with Feng Su last time and fished all day without being discovered by Liu Lieyu and the others.
"Do you know why I was able to find Feng Su?" Liu Lieyu's gaze darted back and forth between me and You.
You's eyes flashed and she said, "I'm afraid Feng Su just couldn't catch any fish. Feng Su's personality is not calm, so he kept changing positions and unknowingly used my needle technique."
"As expected of the Great Emperor Youyuan, so clever." Liu Lieyu's eyes swept over us as he gracefully took his seat, which happened to be the place where Feng Su usually sat. He smiled and said, "If you hadn't prepared a surprise for Feng Su or let him go fishing alone, I wouldn't have come looking for him."
So that's how it is. But who can I blame? Is it You who made Feng Su go fishing? Is it me who wanted to surprise Feng Su? Is it Feng Su who kept changing locations just because she was fishing? I can't blame anyone. It's just fate.
"It's good that you've come." Youyou stepped forward. "I've been wanting to teach you a lesson for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Liu Lieyu also stood up from his chair, looking at You coldly with a venomous hatred, "I wish I could grind you to dust, I should have killed you last time."
"It's a pity that you missed such a golden opportunity, Donghuang. You will never have another chance like this again." You said as she slowly approached Liu Lieyu.
"That's not necessarily true!" Liu Lieyu slowly walked out of the house and walked towards You step by step.
I stood behind You, swallowed hard, and thought, "We're about to fight again."
