Chapter 43 Xie Guanlan looks very friendly
Xie Guanlan's gaze fell on the main room behind Wen Xingluo.
The young man busying around with a dagger in his hand, dressed in white and as graceful as a pine tree, was none other than his second brother, Xie Yanchen.
Xie Guanlan rubbed his eyebrows.
It would be fine if Wen Xingluo and Xie Shian just had a little quarrel, after all, they were both just kids and wouldn't cause any big trouble.
But now she is mixed up with her second brother again.
His second brother is much more dangerous than his fourth brother. Who knows what shocking things he will do with her.
He climbed the stairs.
Wen Xingluo subconsciously stepped back, and when he heard the crisp sound of metal collision, he found that Xie Guanlan had a pair of shiny iron handcuffs hanging around his waist.
Wen Xingluo clenched his handkerchief.
She knew that nothing good would happen if she followed Xie Yanchen out tonight.
Her thin back hit the lattice door, and she spoke with little confidence: "Prince...Prince..."
Xie Guanlan stood still with his hands behind his back, looking down at her: "Miss Wen, could you please explain why you appeared in this alley in the south of the city in the middle of the night?"
Wen Xingluo felt guilty.
She couldn't explain it.
Xie Guanlan glanced at the four siblings lying in the main hall. "The four Wen siblings are missing, and their families have reported them to the police. Chengdu has good security, and people leave their doors unlocked at night. There haven't been any missing persons cases in years. Miss Wen once said she wanted to be useful to someone, and what she did tonight has indeed added a significant touch to someone's political achievements—"
After a pause, he lowered his brow dangerously: "A stain."
Wen Xingluo's scalp tingled: "I didn't catch them..."
"Miss Wen, are you saying that it was my second brother who captured them?"
Wen Xingluo bit her lip.
What else?
Doesn’t he know what kind of person his second brother is?
Then again, he wouldn't be partial to Xie Yanchen and arrest only her for interrogation and forced confession, right?
Wen Xingluo had read Xie Shian's storybook, which described female prisoners living a miserable and undignified life in prison.
She was afraid of the handcuffs, so she mustered up her courage and looked up at Xie Guanlan. "Anyway, what happened tonight has nothing to do with me. I just got here. As for my second brother, maybe he just wanted to invite the four siblings over for a visit and had no other ill intentions. It would be too much of an exaggeration for the family to report the case to the police directly as a missing person. It would only make the prince make a wasted trip. Anyway, please don't arrest me, prince."
Xie Guanlan stared at her.
The little girl looks gentle and dignified during the day, especially in front of her grandmother, she pretends to be well-behaved and sensible.
But when it comes to telling lies in private, he is even better than the legal advisors in the government office.
but……
Fortunately, she did not put all the blame on his second brother.
The intention is not bad.
As Xie Guanlan was thinking, he caught a glimpse of Wen Xingluo secretly looking at the handcuffs around his waist.
Perhaps because she was young, she was a little afraid of this thing. The little girl's slender body trembled slightly, and her cyan-gold skirt rippled slightly in the light of the lantern.
Xie Guanlan raised his eyebrows and suddenly wanted to scare her.
He grabbed her hand under Wen Xingluo's horrified gaze and handcuffed one end of the handcuffs to her wrist.
He said nonchalantly, "This cunning, sharp-tongued little girl loves to lie. Instead of sleeping peacefully at home at night, she ran out to cause trouble. Shouldn't she be arrested and interrogated?"
"You—" Wen Xingluo breathed rapidly, looking at Xie Guanlan as if he were looking at a terrifying Yama. "I already said I didn't do it, why are you still arresting me?!"
Xie Guanlan ignored her, with a smile on his lips, and dragged her into the main room.
Wen Xingluo was about to struggle, but when he saw the situation in the main room, he couldn't help but gasp.
Xie Yanchen shaved the hair of the four Wen brothers and sisters—
However, he only shaved half of it.
So the four people lying here all turned into weird and ugly yin-yang hairstyles.
Funny and pitiful.
Xie Yanchen braided the hair into a square cushion and handed it to Wen Xingluo solemnly: "Sister, you saved me from the fire, and I owe you a favor. I heard from my fourth brother that yesterday was your birthday. Here, this is my birthday gift for you - a beautiful cushion. You can use it on a stool or on the bed."
Wen Xingluo: “…”
She really thanked him.
Who would dare to want this kind of cushion?
Wouldn’t it be creepy to keep it at home?
Her face turned pale and she coughed lightly: "Well, I don't need a cushion..."
Xie Yanchen's Guanyin face immediately showed heartbreak, and he choked with sobs, "Sister, you don't like the gift I gave you, right?"
Wen Xingluo: “…”
There's no way I'd like it, okay?
She was thinking about how to reject Xie Yanchen without making him sad when the handcuffs on her wrists were suddenly pulled.
She looked up, and Xie Guanlan looked at her with a smile: "Second brother gave you a gift, what should you say?"
Wen Xingluo: “…”
This guy's smile is like a seductive ghost on a spring night, but his narrow eyes are full of threats.
It seemed as if if she dared to betray Xie Yanchen's feelings, he would immediately arrest her and take her to the government office.
Wen Xingluo was inconsolable and could only reluctantly stretch out two fingers and pinch the black cushion with the tips of his fingers with disgust and difficulty.
She forced a smile and said, "Thank you, second brother..."
Xie Yanchen was happy then: "If you like it, I will weave a few more cushions for you in the future."
Wen Xingluo: “…”
She really thanked him.
It's late at night.
Xie Guanlan ordered the guards to send the four siblings of the Wen family back, and only announced to the outside world that the murderer who kidnapped them had not been caught.
Xie Guanlan took Wen Xingluo back to the palace, and they both rode in the same carriage.
Wen Xingluo said with a stern face: "Please, Master, remove the handcuffs for me."
Xie Guanlan slowly shook the key in his hand and said, "I originally thought Miss Wen was greedy for power, hypocritical and selfish. I didn't expect that you could make my two brothers treat you like a close family member in such a short time. Miss Wen's methods are indeed not to be underestimated."
Wen Xingluo stared at the key: "I treat people with sincerity, and because of this I gain their love. Isn't this also not possible?"
"Sincerely?" Xie Guanlan leaned closer to the girl, his narrow eyes slightly raised with a sneer, "Miss Wen, if you are sincere, why don't you treat me sincerely?"
The two of them were very close.
It was so close that when Wen Xingluo raised his eyelids, he could see Xie Guanlan's drooping, fine, black eyelashes.
She could even feel the warm breath of his breath on her face.
The lights in the carriage were dim.
The young man in front of him was dressed in a brocade and scarlet robe, looking as gorgeous as a demon, and his deep and noble facial features showed a charming handsomeness.
Wen Xingluo didn't dare to look him in the eye, and her gaze slowly moved down to his thin lips.
His lips are beautiful in shape, a light red in color, moist, clean and soft.
Although this person is hateful, he is really beautiful.
In Wen Xingluo's mind, Xie Shian's book "Spring Palace Fire-Preventing Picture" inexplicably emerged.
She suddenly thought—
Xie Guanlan's lips should be very kissable, right?
