How could Zhou Cheng refuse?
Although he always felt that Cheng Xianyi who came to the border was a little different from Cheng Xianyi in the capital, he couldn't quite put his finger on what the difference was, but it seemed that she was weaker.
He held Cheng Xianyi's bandaged hand, blew on it, and rubbed it: "Is it better?"
"Alright." Cheng Xianyi nodded obediently.
"Black Horse, please continue."
"Oh, good, young master. This letter says that Emperor Yan ordered Lin..."
She was interrupted by Cheng Xianyi halfway through her sentence. The woman lying on the bed slightly opened her arms and reached out to Zhou Cheng: "Ah Cheng, I'm cold, hug me."
"Are you still cold? Then add two more charcoal fires." Zhou Cheng took the opportunity to pull Cheng Xianyi into his arms.
He touched Cheng Xianyi's exposed fair skin, and then touched her forehead. It wasn't cold; her body was warm. Could it be that she was hot on the outside but cold on the inside?
Ziyan glanced at the brazier that had been brought in, and her lips twitched: "......."
"Xianyi, are you feeling unwell?"
"Did you suffer some hidden injury on the way to the border?"
Cheng Xianyi lowered her eyes, her curled eyelashes trembling slightly. She wanted to stop Zhou Cheng from reading the letter with a clear conscience, and she wanted him to stop interfering in Lin Jiaoyun's marriage.
But she truly didn't have that confidence.
This dreamlike period of time was ultimately something she stole.
She couldn't imagine how Zhou Cheng would react after seeing Lin Jiaoyun's letter for help.
Will Zhou Cheng abandon me and head straight for the capital?
“Cheng, you said before…” Cheng Xianyi didn’t dare to look into Zhou Cheng’s eyes. She buried her face in his chest and said in a very soft and weak voice, “You said before that you got engaged to me only because of me.”
"It's not for any other reason, and it's not because you want to protect Lin Jiaoyun, but because you want to see me every day, is that true?"
This inexplicable question startled Zhou Cheng.
Why did you suddenly bring up that bitch Lin Jiaoyun?
Why would you protect her?
If it weren't for the time crunch before leaving Beijing, Zhou Cheng would have rushed into the Lin family and slapped her a hundred and eight times!
Zhou Cheng patted Cheng Xianyi's head and replied, "Of course it's true."
Cheng Xianyi pursed her lips, her eyes slightly red.
Little liar!
He just knew how to lie to her.
Fortunately, Ah Cheng was willing to go to the trouble of deceiving her.
Let's have a purpose if we're going to do it.
She knew she shouldn't be so stubborn and obstinate, but Cheng's meticulous care for her lately, and the occasional doting glances in his eyes, made it hard for her to control her possessiveness...
She longed to rush back to the capital and cripple Miss Lin with a single blow.
In this way, Ah Cheng's gaze would always be on her.
But she couldn't. She had to be obedient, well-behaved, and respect Ah Cheng's decision: "I really hope this is true..."
"Xianyi, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly?"
"I said, no matter what happens, you can't abandon me, you can't leave me alone here, okay?"
"What are you thinking with that little head of yours? How could I abandon you?"
"That's good. You're not allowed to lie to me. If you lie to me... I certainly won't do anything to you, but I'll be unhappy." Cheng Xianyi wanted to say something harsh, but found that she couldn't even bring herself to say anything serious.
She suppressed the bitterness in her heart and restrained the twisted love that wanted to break free from its cocoon.
She broke free from Zhou Cheng's embrace.
