Where would anyone still care about her and protect her?
All she has are people who need her protection.
Soaked to the bone and heartbroken, he looked like an abandoned little animal, adrift and helpless in the torrential rain.
Lu Xingjian watched quietly as she cowered and slumped before him.
"Come back with me."
Su Wanwan ignored him and continued walking into the distance where the rain was pouring down.
She wanted to see him off one more time.
With wind and rain as companions, the journey won't feel too lonely.
Lu Xingjian pursed his lips, his cool eyes churning with inexplicable emotions, and stood motionless, holding his umbrella.
Sudden.
He tossed aside the umbrella in his hand, took a long stride, picked up the slender woman around the waist, and turned to walk towards the inn.
Su Wanwan's struggles were like those of a newborn kitten, utterly intimidating.
Hot water for bathing has been prepared in the upper room.
Lu Xingjian carried her into the bathroom and said to Yan Rong and He Ying, "Take good care of her."
He intended to put her down, but Su Wanwan clung to his clothes and refused to let go: "Guard Xiao."
Her eyes were tightly closed, and she nestled her head in his arms, nuzzling him affectionately.
Yan Rong was so frightened that her face changed drastically, and she quickly stepped forward to take Su Wanwan's hand:
"The girl is drunk and talking nonsense."
Lu Xingjian frowned and looked down at her for a long time before finally saying, "Get out."
The words were spoken to Yan Rong and He Ying.
After they were left alone in the bathroom, Lu Xingjian held her and sat her down on a chair.
He lifted her chin, lowered his head close to her face, and whispered:
"who I am?"
Su Wanwan was already quite drunk, the alcohol had taken effect.
She opened her dazed eyes blankly, not knowing where she was.
I thought I was dreaming.
It took him a while to close his eyes, his voice filled with disappointment: "Your Highness..."
No matter how hard I try, I can't dream about Guard Xiao; instead, I dream about that bastard Lu Xingjian.
Lu Xingjian remained silent for a long time before whispering, "Don't demean yourself like that in the future, understand?"
Su Wanwan felt extremely uncomfortable, soaking wet all over. She closed her eyes and curled up.
"It's so cold."
He coaxed her with a touch of indulgence, "Take off your wet clothes, you won't be cold after you take a shower."
Su Wanwan frowned and said stubbornly, "No."
He sneezed right after he finished speaking.
Lu Xingjian was very patient. "Listen to me, I'll call your maid in."
That's what they said, but they didn't move or call for help.
Su Wanwan could no longer distinguish between reality and dreams.
It seems that Guard Xiao has returned.
Her expression was gentle, her voice was coquettish, and she clung tightly to his collar, refusing to let go.
"Don't go."
Lu Xingjian enjoyed her coquettishness, gently rubbing his chin against her wet hair.
His tone was gentle, like coaxing a child.
"You need to take a shower and change your clothes quickly, or you'll get sick."
Su Wanwan closed her eyes and shook her head.
"No."
"Don't leave."
Lu Xingjian's lips curled into a sneer.
Fifteen minutes later.
Su Wanwan, dressed in clean undergarments, was carried out of the bathroom by Lu Xingjian, who was wrapped in a bathrobe.
Yan Rong and He Ying were stunned and stood there in place.
No way?
The Emperor bathed our Lady?!
Shared bathing?!
Their faces were a mixture of fear and disbelief.
Oh My God.
If this gets out, won't our lady's reputation be completely ruined?!
But would they dare to drive the emperor out?
