Chapter 142 Lips were blocked
Duan Yanzhou was also looking down.
Bai Shaochuan was seen following behind Jiang Yueyao, shielding her from children who were rushing towards her from behind from time to time. His movements were unintentional, but full of care and love.
It was very quiet in the box.
Duan Yanzhou couldn't help but turn his eyes to look at the man opposite him.
Her eyes fell on his cold and hard face, and she couldn't help but sigh.
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but even if Xiao Yaoyao made you unhappy, the little girl should be heartbroken after ignoring her for over a month."
Lu Sui didn't say anything, but his eyes were always fixed on the window.
At this moment, on the street downstairs, Shen Baoqing had already pulled Jiang Yueyao to stop in front of a jewelry stall. The two stood together and picked out jewelry, while the two brothers Bai Shaochuan and Bai Shaoting stood on their left and right. Shen Baoqing took the hairpin and gestured at Jiang Yueyao's head, then looked at Bai Shaochuan beside him.
Bai Shaochuan said something, and Lu Sui saw clearly that Jiang Yueyao smiled...
He suddenly withdrew his gaze, stopped looking, stood up and strode out.
Duan Yanzhou took a look and immediately chased after him.
"Hey, don't be impulsive. I didn't do anything. I was just strolling around."
Lu Sui ignored him and strode downstairs.
After leaving the teahouse, he subconsciously looked up at the jewelry stall opposite.
Jiang Yueyao was no longer there.
He stood there, watching people coming and going and the noise coming along with them.
Lu Sui seemed to have suddenly returned to reality from his own world. The emotions that were surging like magma in the previous moment suddenly calmed down at this moment.
He walked towards the carriage.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Duan Yanzhou caught up.
Lu Sui didn't even turn his head, his voice was flat and emotionless.
"Go back home!"
He got on the carriage, which quickly drove away. Duan Yanzhou stood at the door of the teahouse, looking at the direction the carriage left, feeling incredible.
"Just...just leave like that?"
"No, Lao Lu, you're fearless, so why are you so cowardly?"
…
Jiang Yueyao is very happy tonight.
They won a lantern, watched a monkey show, and released river lanterns... On the way back, the four of them were a little hungry, so they found a snack stall on the street and had a bowl of fish wontons.
I thought the taste was just average, but it turned out to be surprisingly delicious.
Shen Baoqing and the two young masters of the Bai family sent her to Shuangmen Lane. After Jiang Yueyao said goodbye to them, she walked into the yard with tonight's harvest in her arms.
There were lights on at the gate of the courtyard and it was very quiet.
She thought Sister Lan and Aunt Chun were both asleep, so she couldn't help but lighten her footsteps and tiptoe into her yard.
As soon as she entered, she saw Qingxuan.
Dressed in black, holding a sword and standing in the shadows, if she wasn't so familiar with him, she would have thought that a thief had broken into the house.
The moment she saw him, Jiang Yueyao's heart tightened.
Qingxuan didn't move, but just clasped his fists towards her in the dark.
Jiang Yueyao turned around and took a look at her room.
The lights were on inside, but there was no movement.
She took a deep breath, hugged the things in her arms tightly, and walked into the house.
As soon as she entered, she saw Lu Sui.
He was wearing a dark green brocade robe and sitting on an armchair against the wall. He leaned back on the chair, his elbows resting on the armrests, his slender white fingers supporting his forehead, as if he was resting with his eyes closed, or as if he was asleep.
Jiang Yueyao looked at him without moving.
The last time I saw him was at the Summer Resort.
That day, when she came back from the Bai family yard after dinner, he was standing at the door, as if waiting for her on purpose, exuding a coldness from his body, as if she had done something wrong.
But he had said such awful things to her the night before...
Before they could speak to each other, news of the prince's sudden death arrived. Lu Sui followed the emperor out of the Summer Resort overnight, and she returned to the capital with other officials and their wives the next day.
The two have never seen each other since then.
She knew he didn't want to see her.
She was even more tactful and didn't get close to him.
She lived a very peaceful month. She no longer had anything she desired, and her thoughts changed. She thought that it would be good to live her life like this. Being happy was more important than anything else.
But at this moment, he saw Lu Sui suddenly appear.
Jiang Yueyao still underestimated his influence on her.
She will still be sad...
As the sad mood came over her, Jiang Yueyao felt that she was very useless. Others have treated you like that, why are you still sad?
She should have chased him out with a broom right now.
But when he thought that the house belonged to someone else, he immediately stopped.
But she suppressed her anger, so she withdrew her gaze and didn't bother to care whether he was really asleep or pretending to be asleep. She was no longer bothered to slow down her footsteps and walked towards the inner room.
When passing by Lu Sui, someone suddenly grabbed his arm.
Immediately afterwards, a huge force came, and the thing she was holding tightly in her hand fell to the ground with a "crackling" sound. Jiang Yueyao only had time to let out a scream, and the next moment, she was pressed into someone's arms.
Her whole body was instantly surrounded by the man's clear and clean breath.
Jiang Yueyao reacted and tried to struggle, but was forced to sit on his legs.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Sui's low and cold voice came from above his head.
"Tell me, what time is it?"
The tone was unpleasant, yet with an irresistible force.
But at this moment, Jiang Yueyao was angry. She looked up and glared at him fiercely: "Why do you care about me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his jaw was pinched by the man's big hand.
He forced her to raise her chin and meet his gaze. His cold eyes were slightly narrowed at this moment, as if there were frost and ice chips hidden in them, which made Jiang Yueyao's heart tremble.
"Lu Sui, what do you want to do? Let me go..."
"I remember telling you before that you must not return home later than the hour of Chen!" Lu Sui's voice was cold and harsh, and the strength and intimidation that came over him made Jiang Yueyao unable to help but retort loudly.
"The past is the past, and the present is the present! Why do you control me?"
"Why?" Lu Sui lowered his body and approached her very closely, his expression fierce. "Because I saved your life..."
"Okay, I'll return it to you now!" Jiang Yueyao pushed him away, stood up and slammed into the wall.
Maybe he was forced into a corner.
Her movements were quick and hasty, but Lu Sui was faster than her. He grabbed her arm, turned her around and pushed her against the wall.
At this moment, Jiang Yueyao was like a cornered rabbit.
She kept struggling and was not soft-spoken.
"You saved my life, and I'll give you one. From now on, we owe each other nothing."
"Why are you stopping me? Just let me die. When I die, no one will bother you anymore."
"Aren't you happy that I'm no longer around you?"
"Lu Sui, why did you come to see me?"
Lu Sui didn't say anything.
He looked at her, his thin lips tightly pursed, and the lines on his angular face were tense, as if he was suppressing something.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Yueyao suddenly laughed.
"Why did you come to see me tonight? Did you go out into the streets as well?"
"Maybe you got angry because you saw me and Bai Shaochuan together?"
"You're such a weird person. You don't like me, but you don't allow me to get too close to other men."
"But what can I do? I don't like you anymore. I think Mr. Bai is a good person. His family treats me very well and doesn't care about my background at all. I think if I can marry into the Bai family..."
Before he could finish his words, a dark shadow fell before his eyes, and his lips were fiercely blocked...
