Zhao Cheyu mistook her for Xu Ruyu, who was showing off her power. At this moment, she was wrapped around Chen Xiao's waist and had not let go.
Chen Xiao could feel his warm breath on her neck, making her face slightly flushed.
Chen Xiao knew that Ye Yu and Chao Yuan wouldn't look this way, and the people inside the car couldn't see them either, but she still felt embarrassed.
She hesitated for a moment, then reached out and gently placed her hand on Xu Ruyu's hand, before slowly removing those hands from her waist.
Xu Ruyu immediately looked dejected, like a pitiful puppy abandoned by its owner.
Looking at him like this, Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment before taking his hand.
Their tightly clasped hands were hidden by their wide sleeves, and from a distance, they just looked like they were standing close together, with nothing unusual about them.
The look of disappointment on Xu Ruyu's face finally disappeared. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she gazed at Chen Xiao with a smile in her eyes. Her gaze seemed to have warmth, as if she wanted to melt Chen Xiao.
Her initiative and indulgence were like a precious gift to Xu Ruyu, filling him with joy.
Chen Xiao was somewhat overwhelmed by his intense gaze, so she tilted her head slightly to avoid his eyes and instead looked at the cloak in his hand.
"Young Master Yu, what is this?" Chen Xiao asked, a faint smile playing on his lips, feigning ignorance.
Xu Ruyu originally wanted to put a cloak on Chen Xiao, but Chen Xiao held his hand tightly, so he had to give up the idea for the time being and take the cloak in his own hands.
Seeing Chen Xiao's deliberate act, Xu Ruyu played along, feigning distress as she said, "My beloved woman is going on a long journey with another man, and I am really worried. But she refuses to take me with her, so I had no choice but to come after her."
His voice was deep and pleasant, with a hint of grievance.
Chen Xiao found it amusing to see him, with such a handsome and extraordinary demeanor, acting so aggrieved. She went along with his words and said, "That woman is too heartless. How could she not bring her beloved but bring someone else?"
When Xu Ruyu heard the words "beloved," he was first stunned, then realized what was happening, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. The next moment, he actually let go of Chen Xiao's hand.
Just as Chen Xiao was wondering what was going on, Xu Ruyu pulled him into her arms.
That warm and familiar aura instantly enveloped her, and she could even clearly feel Xu Ruyu's strong and powerful heartbeat, one beat after another, like drumbeats striking her heart.
This caused Chen Xiao's heart to race. Her cheek pressed against Xu Ruyu's chest, and she could hear the deep laughter coming from his chest.
"You..." Chen Xiao was about to speak when Xu Ruyu interrupted him.
"You say that woman is heartless, but I find her incredibly adorable." Xu Ruyu loosened her embrace slightly, looked down at Chen Xiao, her eyes filled with love.
Chen Xiao blushed and said, "You're so good at talking."
"I'd do anything for you," Xu Ruyu said, gently stroking Chen Xiao's hair.
Chen Xiao looked up and met his gaze: "Then aren't you afraid that I might really fall in love with someone else?"
"I'm afraid," Xu Ruyu said decisively and honestly.
He gripped Chen Xiao's shoulders tightly and buried his head in Chen Xiao's shoulder, "But you are the emperor."
Chen Xiao could understand the true meaning behind his words, and she could also sense a hint of grievance. She had no idea that Xu Ruyu's true nature was like this.
She smiled and said deliberately, "I can only promise you that I only like you for now, but what will happen in the future is hard to say."
Xu Ruyu was neither surprised nor saddened, because his current relationship with Chen Xiao was already wonderful, and he dared not ask for too much.
He raised his head and stared straight at Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao knew they couldn't linger too long, so he broke free from Xu Ruyu's embrace, took the cloak from his hand, and said, "Put this on for me, it's getting a bit windy."
Xu Ruyu naturally understood as well. He smiled and took the cloak, carefully draped it over Chen Xiao's shoulders, tied the straps, and then took her hand again: "No matter how strong the wind is, I will be by your side."
Chen Xiao was overwhelmed by Xu Ruyu's torrent of sweet words.
She never expected that the aloof and noble young master she had always thought of was a flower on a high mountain would turn out to be a master of sweet talk, and a clingy big dog that she couldn't shake off.
However, this was exactly what she wanted.
With a smile playing on her lips, she suddenly lifted her cloak, the large cloak instantly obscuring both of their faces.
As if summoning immense courage, Chen Xiao tiptoed and, with lightning speed, placed a gentle kiss on Xu Ruyu's cheek.
The kiss was fleeting, like a dragonfly skimming the water, yet it left a huge stone in Xu Ruyu's heart.
Xu Ruyu's eyes widened in astonishment. Her usual calm and composed demeanor vanished completely, and she lost her composure for the first time.
He stood there blankly, like a wooden statue.
His appearance greatly pleased Chen Xiao. Like a child who had just won a prank, she stood on tiptoe, reached out and patted his head with a smile, her eyes full of affection, and whispered, "Wait for me to come back."
After saying that, he resolutely turned and walked toward the carriage.
The cloak fluttered wildly in the wind, as if cheering for Chen Xiao's joyful mood.
It took Xu Ruyu a while to come to his senses. He just watched quietly as Chen Xiao got into the carriage.
At this moment, Ye Yu and Chao Yuan turned around and looked at him, saying with slightly unnatural expressions, "Young Master Yu, goodbye."
Why are they acting so unnaturally?
Although they had turned away from the two's intimacy, they were both martial artists with excellent hearing, and the two's conversation had entered their ears like the wind, without missing a single detail.
