Xie Muqing's entire body tensed up instantly!
He closed his eyes timidly.
I was afraid to see the deep loathing in those bright eyes.
Her hands, which were hanging at her sides, clenched tightly involuntarily, and her breathing became almost inaudible.
He was like a criminal sentenced to death!
My heart is ashen.
To Xie Muqing's surprise...
Instead of the expected curses, he was met with a small, cool hand gently stroking his cheek.
Xie Muqing's body trembled violently!
His tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
It was as if the fog that had lingered for days had finally been lifted, allowing us to glimpse the light of day once more.
Because everything outside was covered in white.
Xie Muqing noticed the confused look on Lin Yan's face.
It is obvious.
She didn't wake up...
Although her eyes were looking at him, there was no focus in them.
Xie Muqing didn't know whether to feel fortunate or disappointed.
It was completely unexpected.
Lin Yan stretched out her two slender, white arms and hooked them around Xie Muqing's neck, whispering in his ear:
"My little beauty, you're so beautiful! How about becoming my eighteenth concubine? I promise I'll dote on you exclusively, and you won't be left alone in an empty room..."
In a short while.
After saying that, she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
Xie Muqing's face suddenly turned ashen!
He was so angry he gritted his teeth!
My back molars are almost crushed!
"Eighteen concubines? Good! Very good! Excellent! Eighteen, you really dare to dream! Aren't you afraid of working yourself to death!"
The romantic feelings that Xie Muqing had been having vanished instantly.
He closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath and then exhaled forcefully, but even so, the frustration in his heart did not lessen at all!
But the carefree woman on the bed was fast asleep!
Xie Muqing immediately felt displeased.
He gently pressed Lin Yan's pressure point to put her to sleep, then took off his coat and got into bed, holding her tightly in his arms.
He was trying to vent his anger...
The third quarter of the hour of Mao (5:45 AM).
The woman in his arms was still fast asleep. Xie Muqing quickly dressed, got up, and carefully jumped out of the window to leave.
Back at the inn, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt!
He really does seem like a concubine.
wrong!
He's not even as good as a concubine; he's clearly more like a mistress who can't be seen in public!
...
Chen Shi (7-9 AM).
A ray of morning sunlight shone on the windowsill.
Lin Yan slowly woke up from her deep sleep, and touched the corner of her lips in a daze.
She seemed to dream about an extremely handsome man last night...
That can't be true!
Is she that desperate for a man?
When Lin Yan finished washing up and came downstairs, she found that the snow was still falling heavily outside, and the snow was already more than halfway up her calves.
Peach Blossom's younger sister, Yang Xiaoya, is very sensible and gets up early to help with the chores.
Because the snow was too deep, it was inconvenient for people to go out, so even when the sun was high in the sky, there were not many customers coming into the hot pot restaurant.
Seeing this situation.
Lin Yan then gave all the girls a day off and treated all the employees to a hot pot meal.
Although the weather is cold, the hot pot is cooked over charcoal, so the doors and windows of the restaurant are always wide open.
Having drunk a little wine, Lin Yan felt hot all over, her face glazed as she admired the snow scene outside the window.
Just then.
A familiar figure flashed past her eyes.
A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.
Just as she was considering whether to chase after them to find out what was going on, Peach Blossom and the little girl suddenly knelt down in front of her with a "thump".
Lin Yan sobered up instantly and quickly helped the two of them up.
"Peach Blossom, what are you doing? Get up quickly!"
“Young lady, my sister and I have no way to repay your great kindness. We only hope that we can serve you as your servants for the rest of our lives, working like cattle and horses to repay you.”
The little girl is young.
But because she had such parents, she understood everything she needed to, and echoed them in her childish voice:
"This little girl is willing to serve her older sister for the rest of her life!"
Looking at the two similar yet stubborn little faces in front of her, Lin Yan could only sigh helplessly.
Clearly, the two girls were terrified by their ruthless parents and feared being stolen and sold again.
“Your parents are so heartless. Even if you were to sell yourself to me, they could still tie you up and secretly transport you to another place to sell.”
Looking at the two small faces that had suddenly turned deathly pale, Lin Yan felt a pang of pity and gently comforted them:
"Don't worry, at least they can't get into this hot pot restaurant. During the day, when you go out to play, don't go to secluded places. They wouldn't kidnap people in the city in broad daylight."
Of course, these are only temporary.
In fact, Lin Yan had already come up with a plan last night, but it was inconvenient due to the heavy snow, so it was not implemented yet...
After hearing her words, the Peach Blossom sisters finally felt much more at ease and sat back down in their seats.
Because of this little incident.
The other girls seemed to open up as well, and, fueled by alcohol, began to recount their pitiful pasts.
The dozen or so girls were basically sold by their own families.
Lin Yan listened silently from the side.
Suddenly, Pear Blossom's words caught her attention, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at her.
"I must have been kidnapped. I remember my family had a maid and a cook! The cook often made osmanthus cake for me, but I was too young then and can't even remember my parents' names. I guess I'll never have the chance to see them again in this lifetime..."
The entire hall suddenly fell silent; no one knew how to comfort her.
After all, falling from a wealthy heiress to prostitution is far more unacceptable than being sold into a brothel by one's family.
