I looked at Xie Yuancheng's expression and saw him nod, still looking very formal, which reassured me.
"Yuancheng, I don't care about him at all, so don't worry." I hugged Xie Yuancheng in my arms to comfort him, as if I were the man and he was the woman.
"Ying'er~ You must protect them, otherwise what if they get kidnapped?"
"Hehe~" I couldn't stop laughing. He always knew how to make me happy. He was so good at both persuasion and flexibility. "Be good, I will protect your brother and make sure nothing happens to you."
"My lord, a guest has arrived, a female guest, either morning or afternoon." A man in black delivered the letter. I took it and glanced at the contents. The handwriting was truly beautiful!
"Your handwriting is nice, but you're no good. What's a woman like you doing always trying to see my man?" I threw the letter on the ground.
The young man in black actually laughed. "Madam, your outfit last night was a bit tacky. She's dressed so elegantly today; she must be trying to intimidate you."
"Little brother, you're quite clever. What's your name? Oh dear!" Why are you pinching me? Taking care of his little brother is what I, as the wife of a marquis, should do.
"Ying'er, what are you doing? He's only sixteen, a child. You're a mother of three."
"I just think he spoke appropriately. Besides, these guys have been through thick and thin with you all the time. I don't even remember their names. If I see someone on the street or in a corner and need help, and I can't match them up, then I've missed my chance."
"Forget it, you'd be lucky to remember their names. I can recite them by heart." Xie Yuancheng stopped pretending to be a timid woman and stood up to talk to the young man in front of her. "We directly refused. She should have known why we didn't meet this morning. Cultural differences between countries are not an excuse. We told her not to come again."
"Yes, Lord Marquis!" The young man left just like that, and I went to rub Xie Yuancheng's face. It was really interesting.
"Ying'er~ If you ask a man's name again next time, I'll crush your slender waist!"
"You, if I ask you in front of you and you're unhappy, I won't ask anymore." I rubbed my waist where I had been pinched. "You're so annoying, don't you know my back aches?"
"Let me rub it for you~" I was just pretending to be obedient. I wanted Xie Yuancheng to pick me up and take me to see the plum blossoms in the garden.
"Madam, the refreshments have arrived." What a disappointment! Bizhu didn't come along this time. These maids don't know how we get along and always come to bother us.
"Get out of here. My Ying'er doesn't eat these things. I will make them for her."
Xie Yuancheng was still the most domineering; he simply picked me up and left. I turned around to look at Yan Yan's troubled expression. She was probably sent by the Second Prince, as he always brought me things I didn't like to eat.
“I want to be carried, I want you to carry me.” I hugged Xie Yuancheng’s neck and got up. “I want to be carried, it’s uncomfortable for you to hold me, I want to lie on your back.”
"Okay, don't move yet. I'll carry you when we get to a place with less snow. It's too slippery here. If we both fall together, Ying'er will be embarrassed."
"I'm going to make you fall, anyway, I won't get hurt, you'll be my cushion~" Just as I was about to let go, Xie Yuancheng hugged me and pressed against me, my face covered in his breath.
Even if you're mischievous, admiring a beautiful woman in the snow isn't so bad.
"Don't do anything reckless. I, I won't move. Hurry up, it's uncomfortable to be carried. I want to be carried on your back." I pressed my chin against his and walked close to him so that I could be closest to him.
Xie Yuancheng stood still, and I realized that I was slowly standing in the snow. Soon I climbed onto his back, though it was slower than usual, but I was really on his back.
"Yuancheng~ hehe~" I laughed while lying on his back. I was so happy. With someone who dotes on me like this, what more could I ask for in my life?
"Ying'er, don't be willful next time. My hands were shaking just now, I was afraid I would drop you."
"So what if we fall? I'm willing to fall down with you, and we'll get back up together." I smelled his scent. "It makes me feel so safe. I love you so much. I have no other ambitions in this life but to protect you for the rest of my life."
"Don't move, I can't take it." Xie Yuancheng's face turned red. I just got a little closer, what did I do? I didn't do anything bad to him.
“Yuancheng~ Little Chengcheng, my lord, you can be shy now? Not long ago, who was it that looked at me with such hostility? I was still upset.”
"Where is the hostility? It's clearly infatuation. Don't misuse words."
Xie Yuancheng walked so steadily with every step. I leaned on him to rest. I wish I never had to walk again. Letting him carry me for the rest of my life would be the happiest thing.
"Ying'er, talk to me again. It's cold outside. If you're sleepy, I'll carry you back."
"You talk too much. It's so good for us to get along like this. You have to carry me for the rest of your life and never leave me behind, no matter where you go."
"How could I bear to? You're too naughty. If I don't protect you, who will be able to put up with you in the future?"
"That's right~ Xiao Chengcheng is the best to me." I leaned forward a little and whispered in his ear, "He only acts naughty with you, you have to take responsibility~"
"Yes, I'll take full responsibility. If I let you become so willful again, no one can stand it, only I can handle you."
We were laughing together, the atmosphere was so good, I was even about to put flowers on him, when suddenly some people came to bother us. Hearing this screaming person, I felt like hitting them.
"My lord! I beg you to see me. I have something to say to you!"
She must have some tricks up her sleeve, otherwise how could she have broken in? I was a little angry, so I slapped Xie Yuancheng's butt with my backhand. Just as I was about to jump to the ground, he grabbed my leg.
"Ugh, this hurts! Someone came to find you, why aren't you putting me down!" I gritted my teeth. Xie Yuancheng's right cheek was red from being pressed against mine, and his eyes were misty.
"If you hit me again, I'll lock you up for days!"
"Pah!" I heard footsteps, and a dozen men in black stood in front of me. Not far away was the woman who had come three times. I looked up and saw a woman in a purple official robe, and a familiar voice. Lu Fengjun had come too?
"Ying'er, you hit me so hard, I can't walk anymore." Even at this time, he still dares to act cute with me. I want to pinch his ear, but there are too many people here, so I'd better go back inside.
"Since everyone's here, let's meet them first. If you dare to look away, I'll torture you!"
"You all heard what Madam said, right? Detain the person first and ask them why they came."
"yes!"
The sound was so synchronized that my face turned bright red. Hearing someone fall, Xie Yuancheng told someone nearby to get a chair. There was no way anyone could sit here! Thankfully, he knew to have the snow swept away.
"My Lord!" It was that same desperate scream again. I had just sat down when it came through again. "I am the little princess of the Li Kingdom. I have disguised myself as a dancer and entered the palace just to see you!"
Hmph! Why didn't you just say it directly when you met him: "I came here to marry the Marquis, but who knew you were so cunning that you made me come here in person."
