The strong wind howled and hit the wall of the car, like a knife sharpening on the face. The two people in the car were in a stalemate for a moment.
"Let me down." After a while, Xihe said again.
He was tall, with long legs, and was sturdy and strong. His strong masculine scent was right next to her ear, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"No."
The man rested his chin on her shoulder, his voice loose as he played with her delicate fingers like fine warm jade.
"But..." Xihe moved his body, his cheeks flushed.
"Are you scared?"
He straightened his body without hesitation, and when he noticed that she was stiff, he sneered: "I thought you had made preparations before going out."
Xihe: ???
So after all this beating around the bush, you're actually mad at me for sneaking away from home without caring about my safety?
Her brows softened: "Don't worry, I'm safe all the way."
Fu Yu snorted coldly, tightening his grip on his waist. "You're so sharp-tongued, who knows if you're just trying to fool me? I'll have to check it myself when I get home."
However, Xihe clearly noticed that his tense body had relaxed.
Xihe's heart softened: "I'm really fine."
If they had not arrived at the border town, she would not have changed back into women's clothes. With that dusty face, even if she stood in front of him, Fu Yu probably would not have recognized her.
The man didn't say anything, and the tense atmosphere in the car gradually eased.
About half an hour later, Xihe felt the car stop for a moment, and then the bumpy road gradually became flat, and finally stopped in a courtyard.
"General, we're here." said a soldier outside.
"Yeah." Fu Yu let go of the person in his arms, lifted the curtain and got out of the car. Xihe followed closely behind, holding the car frame.
In the gloomy sky, two rows of soldiers holding torches stood in front of the mansion gate. There was silence all around. She looked over and saw that Xiaomei and the coachman had already gotten off.
There was a stool under the carriage. She was about to get off, lifting her skirt, but was caught off guard and hugged by someone.
"ah."
She let out a small cry of surprise and subconsciously reached out to hold the man's broad shoulders.
"Unload the car." Fu Yu's stern face remained calm. After giving his instructions to his subordinates, he walked into the mansion.
The little maid immediately followed closely behind with the package in her arms.
The weather-beaten old butler stood at the door with his mouth wide open, looking stunned.
"General, do you want some water?"
Seeing the general striding into the main courtyard, the butler was startled and a joyful smile immediately broke out on his face.
"Do we need some water?" Fu Yu asked, lowering his head.
Xihe nodded immediately: "Yes."
She hadn't had the chance to take a bath or wash up during the entire journey. She usually just wiped herself and had been wanting to take a good wash for a long time.
"Okay, I'll prepare it right away." The housekeeper said with a smile.
As soon as the master returned home, the yard immediately became brightly lit and busy, but Xihe didn't see many maids. The only people coming and going were guards in military uniforms.
It was too late to tell the difference between the houses on the border and those in the capital. I just felt that the rooms were larger and more spacious.
only……
Xihe pushed the man, looking helpless: "Put me down."
The room was lit, casting a soft orange glow. The little maid hunched her shoulders in a corner, daring only to look down at her toes. Several guards stood outside the door.
Xihe covered his face, feeling helpless when encountering such a stubborn person.
"Do you really treat me as your concubine?" She said expressionlessly.
Fu Yu pinched her face, held her slender waist and pulled her into his arms: "What do you think of tomorrow?"
