Chapter 13 Follow Me
Qing Zhui stared at the scene in front of him with his eyes wide open.
No wonder his father used to say that women who are too beautiful are a disaster. Look at this lady, she has captivated his second master to such an extent.
The Second Master used to devote himself to important matters, but in the past two days, he rushed to the farm before dark. He is truly a woman who brings disaster.
Yu Qinghuan didn't feel cold, but she didn't have the chance to say anything to refuse. Xie Zhili had already tied the cloak tightly around her. The long cloak dragged on the ground, making her figure look even thinner.
Xie Zhili looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. The cloak, like himself, tightly enveloped the woman. He even wanted to pull her into his arms, but there were many people here and Yu Qinghuan was shy.
He took action in front of others today, and I'm afraid that Yu Qinghuan will be too embarrassed to even leave the house tomorrow.
In fact, Yu Qinghuan didn't care at all about him touching her in front of outsiders. She just felt that the cloak was heavy and made it difficult for her to move. She had to lift her hands inside to maintain a bright smile on her face.
"Thank you very much, but I haven't asked the kitchen to prepare dinner yet..."
Xie Zhili suddenly interrupted her, "Are you still feeling unwell today?"
Yu Qinghuan shook his head, "I don't feel any discomfort today."
After taking that bowl of medicine last night, I feel so comfortable today that I can even fly a kite and run to the neighboring village to listen to people playing the piano.
Xie Zhili suggested, "It's boring to stay stuck in the manor all day. There's a night market opening in the city recently. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Yu Qinghuan's heart was moved, and her beautiful eyes looked at Mrs. Li who was not far away. But if Wang knew that she had left the manor, she would probably cause trouble.
Xie Zhili immediately understood what she meant and looked at Qing Zhui, who reluctantly slipped two silver notes from his sleeve and stuffed them into Li Pozi's hand. "My Second Master is taking the First Madam out for dinner. I hope Madam Li will be accommodating."
Mrs. Li was a little embarrassed at first, but when she saw the amount of the two silver notes, her eyes lit up and she immediately accepted them, smiling happily. "The eldest lady has never left the manor. I have been watching her with both eyes!"
Although Yu Qinghuan couldn't see the amount on the banknotes, Mrs. Li was from the Wang family's courtyard and was not short of money. Since she could make concessions, the two banknotes must be worth a lot of money.
She suddenly felt a little painful. It would be better if the two banknotes were given to her, and she would not have to leave the house at all.
At this time, Xie Zhili had already boarded the carriage and slowly extended his hand towards Yu Qinghuan, who was still feeling anxious about the money.
The light of the sunset was evenly distributed, and the hand in front of him was covered with a layer of warm light. The autumn wind blew open the hem of his clothes, and he smiled continuously.
In this situation, Yu Qinghuan thought of Xie Zhiwen. Every time she went out in a carriage, Xie Zhiwen would hold her hand, but that broad and warm hand was now replaced by the person in front of her.
"Give me your hand."
Xie Zhili was much thinner than Xie Zhiwen, and the veins on his hands were more distinct. The moment Yu Qinghuan placed her hand on him, she was burned by the scorching heat in his palm. This heat swept through her whole body, and the blood in her limbs began to boil.
Her heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously tried to pull her hand back, but Xie Zhili held it firmly. Before she could react, she was lifted onto the carriage and another broad and powerful hand was placed on her waist, holding her firmly.
Yu Qinghuan threw herself into Xie Zhili's arms, feeling the warmth coming towards her. The sound of the man's steady and powerful heartbeat passed through his chest and reached her ears.
Feeling the slender waist, Xie Zhili's eyes suddenly changed, and a strong possessive desire came over him. He exerted a little force with his palm, as if he wanted to embed the person in his arms tightly into his body.
Under the carriage, Sang Ru didn't dare to open her eyes at all. The Second Master was really too arrogant. He dared to hug her like this in broad daylight. She didn't know how he touched her wife in the house yesterday.
Qing Zhui once again silently said in his heart: Beauty is a disaster.
...
The carriage was crowded, and Yu Qinghuan was forced to sit next to Xie Zhili. After passing the bumpy road, he almost fell out. Xie Zhili grabbed his hand in time, brought him back, and sat him on his lap.
The faint fragrance lingered in his nose, and his blood boiled. His body unconsciously tensed up, but his face remained calm and composed.
He wrapped his arms around Yu Qinghuan's waist from behind, lowering his voice to suppress the beast in his heart that was about to escape at any moment, "Hold on tight."
Sensing something strange, Yu Qinghuan's ears felt hot. She moved away from him, returned to her original seat, and clung tightly to the carriage window. She said softly, "I know..."
Xie Zhili smiled and rubbed his palms with his fingertips, as if he was still savoring the taste just now. It was worth it that he changed into this small carriage today.
Although she looked shy, Yu Qinghuan was secretly worried in her heart, about the narrow carriage and the bumpy road. Her brother's trick was the same, and her brother's trick was the same. Nothing was new... so boring.
The curfew in the capital was abolished not long ago. In order to promote the livelihood of the people, the entire main street is filled with night markets, restaurants are brightly lit with candles, and there is singing and dancing.
As soon as Yu Qinghuan got off the carriage, she was attracted by the scene in front of her. In the past, people were not allowed to pass through the carriage after 3 o'clock. She had never seen the capital city at night so prosperous.
She wanted to look again, but her vision was blocked by white gauze and became blurry.
Xie Zhili put the veil hat on her head, then wrapped it around her body, lowered his eyes and tied the belt for her.
He explained, "It's not appropriate to show up at night because there are so many people around."
Yu Qinghuan thought that he was probably afraid of running into old acquaintances or colleagues, where it would be difficult to explain himself, and the bad reputation that would spread would hinder his career.
In fact, Xie Zhili wanted to take Yu Qinghuan out to get some fresh air and relax, but the curfew in the capital had just been lifted, and he was also worried that some bad guys would take the opportunity to do something bad. Yu Qinghuan's appearance was too attractive, and he was afraid that she would attract attention, so it was better to cover her up.
After fastening the belt, he naturally reached out and held Yu Qinghuan's hand, "There are so many people at the night market, we might get separated. Follow me closely."
"You are careful and thoughtful."
With a veil barely covering her face, Yu Qinghuan didn't even bother to hide her expression. She flattered Xie Zhili with her mouth, but her face showed disgust.
It's true that even the way Xie Zhili holds hands, like his elder brother who died early, is exactly the same as his older brother. But this hand...
She lowered her eyes and looked carefully at the hand holding hers. The blue veins on the cold white back of the hand were faintly visible, and the well-proportioned fingers were clasping hers, which was instantly warm.
Yu Qinghuan couldn't help but think of that night when Xie Zhili used this hand, causing her to almost wet the quilt. It can be seen that this hand is not only beautiful... but also easy to use.
A sugar man passed through the white gauze in front of her and came to her.
Xie Zhili looked at the distracted Yu Qinghuan through the gap, followed her line of sight to his hands, and asked with a playful smile on his lips:
"You keep staring at my hands, what are you thinking about?"
