He Yunxiao kept telling himself not to feel awkward.
As long as they themselves aren't embarrassed, the ones who are embarrassed are the female protagonists who are suspicious of each other!
With a major battle imminent, He Yunxiao, adopting a perfectly appropriate, unsmiling expression, lifted the carriage curtain.
The moment the carriage curtain was lifted, three sharp gazes from Fan Ziruo, Jiang Wuyou, and Chu Xiaoxiao pierced He Yunxiao's face.
serious.
He Yunxiao felt incredibly embarrassed, but his face remained unusually serious.
The only empty seat in the carriage was next to Fan Ziruo. He Yunxiao sat down without saying a word after entering the carriage.
The female characters had different expressions.
Sister Jiang looked at He Yunxiao with a half-smile. Ruobao, on the other hand, showed no particular expression. Xiaoxiao, being less experienced, glanced at Jiang Wuyou and Fan Ziruo, then stared at He Yunxiao with a hint of resentment.
He Yunxiao remained serious.
The introductions had already been made when they got on the bus, so He Yunxiao went straight to the point: "Xiaoxiao, you have some martial arts skills, so you should be careful to protect the safety of the two older sisters."
Xiao Xiao pouted, feeling resentful that she had to protect the bad women, but since He Yunxiao had told her beforehand, she couldn't refuse.
He could only reluctantly say, "I understand."
He Yunxiao breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Xiaoxiao would throw a tantrum and cause a scene in front of Ruobao. If that happened, he wouldn't know whether to coax her or not, which would be the most difficult dilemma.
"Wuyou, Ziruo is weak, please take good care of her." In order to let Sister Jiang and Ruobao spend more time together, He Yunxiao didn't even bring Ruobao's maid Hongshe.
Jiang Wuyou nodded and said with a kind smile, "Okay."
Fan Ziru frowned. Her husband seemed quite intimate with these two girls.
Seeing Ruobao's brows furrow slightly, He Yunxiao had some doubts in his heart. He decisively took Ruobao's hand in front of Sister Jiang and Xiaoxiao.
"Madam, please be extra careful on your journey."
Fan Ziruo's mind went blank at He Yunxiao's sudden remark. They had only ever used the title "Madam" in private; they had never been so intimate in front of a third party. Most importantly, they had no official status whatsoever; even their previously agreed engagement had been postponed due to the Chu family army incident.
It is very improper to address someone as "Madam" without any reason.
However, whether it was against the rules or not, Fan Ziruo understood He Yunxiao's intentions completely.
One is named "Xiaoxiao," the other "Wuyou," and only she is the "wife." Her husband still loves Ziruo the most.
He Yunxiao wasn't worried about Sister Jiang; she was one of his own. His only concern was Xiaoxiao.
Sure enough, when Xiao Xiao heard He Yunxiao call Fan Ziruo "Madam," she was so angry that she bared her teeth and her voice became restless.
He Yunxiao quickly sent a telepathic message to calm her down: Xiaoxiao, calm down!
Xiao Xiao: This wicked woman looks so refined, who would have thought she's such a shameless vixen! One day I'll definitely kill her!
He Yunxiao: Xiaoxiao, don't talk nonsense!
Xiao Xiao: She must be flattering you! Otherwise, Brother Xiao wouldn't call her that.
He Yunxiao took a deep breath and coaxed Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, I'll explain this to you later. For now, calm down and maintain your image as Chu Fan's sister. When we get to the Chu family army's camp, I'll take you on horseback to patrol the mountains."
Xiao Xiao: I...
He Yunxiao sighed and said: Let's ride together on one horse.
Xiao Xiao licked her lips, but being a young lady, she was too shy to ask: "Do you want anything else..."
He Yunxiao: What?
Xiaoxiao: Um...
He Yunxiao: Which one?
Xiaoxiao: That's right, that one.
He Yunxiao tentatively asked: "Kiss?"
Xiao Xiao didn't say anything, so it seems she guessed correctly.
After reaching an agreement with Xiaoxiao, He Yunxiao sighed inwardly at how times had changed.
Normally, he's the one who lusts after the heroines, but with Xiaoxiao, it's the other way around—Xiaoxiao lusts after him. Besides Xiaoxiao, Mengbao sometimes craves it too; after all, she's been through a lot, even on high platforms, so it's normal for her to have developed a taste for it.
He Yunxiao saw that the time was about right. Talking about the "Madam" topic at this point would easily backfire. He decided to sacrifice Chu Fan to give the female protagonists a common topic of gossip to talk about.
People get to know each other very quickly if they share a common language, and gossip is human nature, especially for women.
He Yunxiao lifted the car curtain as if to let in some fresh air, then exclaimed in exaggerated surprise, "Hey, isn't that Brother Chu? Who's the woman next to Brother Chu? Oh, it seems to be Han Lingshuang, the daughter of the former prime minister and one of the four beauties of Yinjing!"
Chu Fan is familiar with all the female leads, and Han Ling Shuang's status as one of the "Four Beauties of Yin Jing" is even more renowned. Not to mention, Mr. Fan, who is beside He Yunxiao, is one of the "Four Beauties."
He Yunxiao immediately whetted the appetites of all the female leads, and their eyes followed his lead as they looked outside.
As expected, Chu Fan was being affectionate with a woman dressed in unusual clothes; to be precise, the woman was slightly more proactive.
Before Xiaoxiao disliked He Yunxiao, she would force him to help her deal with Chu Fan's unwanted romantic advances. But ever since she fell for He Yunxiao, she desperately wants her brother to attract more attention from undesirable women, hoping they'll all stay away from him. (M.cascoo.net)
She was happy to see her brother and Han Linshuang get together. However, in Xiaoxiao's opinion, what her brother did didn't really matter; what mattered was how she managed to get close to He Yunxiao among a group of wicked women. Watching He Yunxiao be intimate with those bad women while she had to play the "good sister" was infuriating!
"Brother?" Xiao Xiao exclaimed in surprise, then took the opportunity to squeeze between He Yunxiao and Fan Ziruo, pressed her face against the window and pretended to look out, but actually snuggled up to He Yunxiao in his arms.
Seeing Xiaoxiao's intimate behavior, He Yunxiao immediately looked at Ruobao and asked for her opinion.
The fact that He Yunxiao was "his wife" and that he was "in the first place" at this moment greatly satisfied Fan Ziruo's "only love." She truly felt the respect He Yunxiao gave her and his "number one" love.
Fan Ziruo never objected to He Yunxiao taking a concubine or having contact with other women; all she ever wanted was for He Yunxiao to "like her the most."
This is also why He Yunxiao dared to let Ruobao, Sister Jiang, and Xiaoxiao sit in the same car.
However, when it comes to letting Ruobao, Chuchu, and Mengbao sit in the same car, He Yunxiao is already prepared to offer incense for himself.
With her position as the "official wife" secure, Fan Ziruo displayed the grace expected of one. A hint of amusement mixed with helplessness crossed her face as she shook her head at He Yunxiao, signaling him to go with Xiaoxiao and not disturb her while she was concerned about her brother.
Seeing that Ruobao agreed, He Yunxiao "had no choice" but to "sadly" agree to let Xiaoxiao stick to him. He even seemed to blame Ruobao for not doing her job.
Fan Ziruo winked playfully at He Yunxiao. The gist of her message was: "My husband, enjoy the beauty's favor yourself."
He Yunxiao smiled "helplessly." Inwardly, however, he was secretly delighted; his plan had worked! Ruobao was in a very good mood; these three probably wouldn't fight. Next, all he needed to do was keep Ruobao away from Chuchu!
