The appearance of Prince Xu and the princess was just a small episode tonight.
On New Year’s Eve, the New Year is approaching.
A drizzle drifted across the sky, and a cold wind blew fiercely. Lights burned brightly throughout the bustling streets of the capital.
In the distance, thousands of families are reunited with lights on, and joyful laughter can be heard from the houses from time to time, celebrating the arrival of the New Year reunion.
Lin Jiangnian and Zhiyuan returned to the Jiang Mansion with Xiaozhu, who was still reluctant to leave.
The little maidservant was almost bored staying at home on weekdays, so she went out tonight and saw the prosperous New Year scene in the capital, which was very novel.
It's a pity that the weather is bad and it's raining, so the atmosphere lacks a bit of the fireworks.
Occasionally, fireworks not far away explode in the dark night sky, bringing the excitement of the New Year.
"Where have you been?"
Just as they returned to Jiang's house, a voice came from the front.
Looking up, he saw Jiang Yuxiang leaning against the eaves in the courtyard, with his arms folded across his chest, looking at Lin Jiangnian and the others.
"Where did you guys go just now?"
Jiang Yuxiang looked at the few people, and it was obvious that they had just returned from outside.
"You guys, are you out?"
"right!"
Lin Jiangnian nodded and explained, "We went out for a walk!"
"Alright, you're going out for a walk without calling me?!"
When Jiang Yuxiang heard this, her eyes widened slightly: "You forgot you have an aunt, right?!"
Hearing his aunt's sudden accusation, Lin Jiangnian was stunned for a moment and coughed lightly: "Aunt..."
"Don't call me aunt, I'm not your aunt!"
Jiang Yuxiang rolled her eyes and said in a gloomy tone, "You two are so lucky. You went out to have fun on New Year's Eve, leaving me alone in this empty room..."
Hearing this pitiful and faint voice, those who didn't know would really think that Lin Jiangnian had done something unfaithful.
When Zhiyuan heard what her aunt said, her cold face flushed slightly. She walked to her aunt's side, lowered her head, and spoke softly: "Aunt..."
"You've forgotten your aunt because you have a lover, right?"
Jiang Yuxiang glanced at her sideways and said, "Have you forgotten who raised you since you were a child?"
"Have you forgotten who fed you mouthful by mouthful?"
Lin Jiangnian, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask, "Aunt, how old were you then..."
"What's wrong with age?!"
Jiang Yuxiang glared: "Zhiyuan was only two or three years old at that time. I was five or six years older than her. Wasn't it me who took care of her?"
Jiang Yuxiang turned her head and looked at Zhiyuan: "Zhiyuan, tell me, was it your aunt who raised you?"
Faced with her aunt's request for credit, Zhiyuan pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed, but still nodded.
Indeed, as far as she could remember, her aunt had always been by her side.
Her aunt, who is only five or six years older than her and is obviously still a little girl, always acts like an elder in front of her!
However, from childhood to adulthood, it was indeed her aunt who always played the role of an elder and grew up with her.
"See, I was right, wasn't I?"
Jiang Yuxiang rolled her eyes and glared at Lin Jiangnian.
Seeing that his aunt seemed dissatisfied, Lin Jiangnian was tactful and did not continue to talk back.
He was thinking about taking Zhiyuan and Xiaozhu out for a walk, but he forgot about his aunt! Lin Jiangnian always subconsciously regarded his aunt as an elder, but ignored the fact that her age was not much different from Lin Jiangnian.
Tonight was New Year's Eve, and the Jiang residence was deserted. Lin Jiangnian took Zhiyuan and Xiaozhu away, leaving his aunt alone in the residence.
No wonder my aunt is emotional!
After comforting my aunt, she snorted softly, took Zhiyuan away, and I don't know what she was going to say in private.
Lin Jiangnian also touched Xiaozhu's head and asked her to go back to her room first.
"Your Highness, aren't you going back?" Xiao Zhu blinked in confusion.
"Your Highness has some things to do, so I'll be back later!"
Lin Jiang spoke in a young voice, comforted Xiao Zhu, then turned around and left the Jiang Mansion.
When we left Jiang Mansion, the drizzle seemed to get heavier, and the sky was gloomy and dark, as if a heavy rain was brewing.
There was a fierce cold wind between heaven and earth.
Lin Jiangnian walked through the streets and alleys holding an umbrella.
Soon, they arrived at an inn in an inconspicuous alley corner.
He glanced around, and then Lin Jiangnian hid in the darkness and climbed over the wall of the inn silently.
…
The raindrops hit the eaves, making a ticking sound.
Under the eaves, on the windowsill, a figure was sitting quietly, looking up at the occasional fireworks flashing in the distance, wondering what he was thinking.
"Saint!"
Ling'er's voice came from behind. Ling'er lifted her skirt and walked into the room cautiously, blinking her eyes: "Saint, should we go out for a walk?"
“No!”
Liu Su's voice was lazy and indifferent, and her rejection was very straightforward.
"Saint, today is New Year's Eve!"
Ling'er blinked: "It must be very lively outside. It's boring for us to stay here! Why don't we go out for a walk?"
"It's boring outside!"
Liu Su curled her lips, and there was a hint of boredom in her beautiful eyes.
For her, the New Year is not much different from any other day.
She basically spends every Chinese New Year alone!
Oh no, Ling'er is here with him.
As members of the Celestial God Sect, Ling'er, who had known her since childhood and was loyal to her, the two had basically depended on each other for these years.
Ling'er seemed to notice that her Saint Lady's character wasn't very high, so she took a closer look and said, "Saint Lady, are you unhappy?"
"No."
"Saint, it's just the two of us again on New Year's Day. How pitiful."
Ling'er felt a little emotional.
Liu Su glanced at her and said, "What's wrong? Are you lonely? Are you feeling amorous?"
"No, no!"
Ling'er blushed slightly and shook her head quickly: "It's just the two of us... It's like this every year, it's boring!"
Liu Su listened to Ling'er talking to herself, her eyes a little dazed, and she looked up and continued to look at the sky outside the yard not far away.
I don’t know what he was thinking about, but there was an indescribable emotion on his face.
Finally, a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes.
Sighed softly.
Just then, there was suddenly some movement in the yard.
The extremely perceptive Liu Su immediately noticed something and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"who?!"
This place is a stronghold of the Tianshen Sect in Beijing. It is very hidden and difficult for ordinary people to get close to it.
Who broke in quietly? !
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Liu Su's eyes, and he suddenly looked up and forward.
In the courtyard right in front of me, raindrops were falling under the cover of the dark night.
A figure holding an umbrella appeared in the yard.
When Liu Su saw this figure, he was stunned and an incredible look appeared on his face!
…
The night is thick.
Zhao Mansion, small courtyard!
The drizzle continued, covering the sky and the earth.
Under the eaves, Xiaoyue was carrying a bowl of hot soup and came to her young lady's door and knocked.
"Miss!"
"Come in."
A lazy voice came from the room.
Xiaoyue then pushed the door open and walked in.
"Miss, I've brought you some soup!"
"Leave it there."
A lazy voice came, a little weak.
Xiaoyue put the soup on the table beside her and looked towards the room.
The lights are bright in the warm and fragrant room.
The surrounding decorations are antique, and the window sills and walls are carved with exquisite patterns. The surrounding furnishings are simple, but give people a fresh and refined feeling.
A woman's quiet boudoir is refreshing.
There was a soft blanket on the ground. Walking barefoot on it, you wouldn't feel the winter cold at all.
It's soft and very comfortable.
Not far away, on the other side of the screen, a beautiful woman was lying quietly on the soft couch.
The woman lay casually, yet her carefree demeanor was fully revealed, especially the thin and delicate long dress that showed off her curvy figure.
The hem of her skirt was slightly open, revealing a pair of slender, well-proportioned, white and silky legs casually draped over the soft couch.
The owner of the beautiful legs was currently sitting quietly on the couch, holding a book in her hands and flipping through it boredly.
Xiaoyue secretly took a few more glances at her young lady's stunning beauty and couldn't help swallowing.
Miss, you are so beautiful...
Even she couldn't help but want to touch it a few times!
If the young lady always dressed like this, wouldn't the Prince of Lin be completely captivated by her?!
Kneeling down at the foot of my lady's skirt...
"Miss, drink the soup while it's hot, or it'll get cold!"
Xiaoyue came to her senses and reminded him.
"knew!"
Only then did Zhao Xi close the book in his hand, throw it aside, and slowly sit up.
Her scattered hair fell as she stood up, revealing her pretty face which was a little messy but delicate and beautiful.
The delicate facial features are perfectly outlined, yet tinged with sadness.
She glanced at Xiaoyue: "What's the situation outside now?"
Xiaoyue said, "Miss, it's very lively outside tonight... It's New Year's Eve, and many people are out having fun!"
"Miss, do you want to go out for a walk?"
"No."
Zhao Xi curled her lips. She was not a person who liked to go out.
Not very interested in the outside world.
"Okay, if you're alright, go down first."
"yes!"
Xiaoyue nodded and left the room.
Zhao Xi was left sitting there, staring out the window with her beautiful eyes, lost in thought.
After a while, he suddenly thought of something and muttered to himself, "I wonder what that guy is doing now?"
"Today is New Year's Eve. I guess he should be at the Jiang Mansion with his little maid, right?"
"What's your name? Kite?!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Xi's face suddenly showed some indescribable emotions for some reason.
A little angry!
"Unfaithful man!"
Zhao Xi gritted his teeth secretly, his eyes filled with shame and anger.
She didn't know why she felt this way, she just suddenly wanted to scold him!
"He's a heartless man, a pervert, a lecher... He's so audacious..."
Zhao Xi gritted his teeth secretly, the scene of what happened on the Nanhu cruise ship two days ago was still vivid in his mind.
Her breathing became a little faster and her face flushed slightly.
That guy is so brave!
How dare he secretly...touch his fiancée in front of her?!
What I didn’t expect was that Piaomiao had already discovered it... Why didn’t she say anything if she discovered it?
Is she just going to let herself be 'bullied' by her fiancé?
Thinking of this, Zhao Xi's face felt a little hot.
She took a deep breath and tried to suppress the images that came back to her mind.
Over the past two days, the scene at Nanhu Lake has been constantly reappearing in her mind, especially the feeling of the scorching heat falling on the soles of her feet, which has been hard to forget for a long time...
This made Zhao Xi's jade feet hidden under her skirt tense up slightly, and her delicate body trembled.
Zhao Xi, who had never had any contact with any man, experienced such excitement for the first time in her life, which was enough to make her unforgettable for the rest of her life!
So much so that she has been a little distracted these past two days!
Thinking about how much he had been taken advantage of, Zhao Xi wanted to retaliate. But as the thought came to his mind, he became increasingly confused...
Even she herself didn't know why she felt this way.
Especially tonight...
New Year’s Eve is the day of joy and reunion of the New Year.
That guy must be spending time with his 'beautiful wife', enjoying the sweetness and love, so how could he even remember her...
Thinking of this, Zhao Xi quickly reacted.
Wait, what does this have to do with her?
She has nothing to do with that guy!
The one who should be worried is Piaomiao!
Piaomiao is his fiancée. That guy didn't spend time with his fiancée during the New Year. Shouldn't Piaomiao be the one who should be angry?
Thinking of this, Zhao Xi immediately became angry and stood up for her good sister!
How could she leave that guy alone?
Did she really have no feelings for him at all?
She didn't believe it...
Zhao Xi's beautiful eyes lit up slightly as if she thought of something.
But soon, the glimmer of light gradually returned to calm. Zhao Xi sat on the soft couch, his mind full of thoughts, and after a long period of confusion.
Zhao Xi sighed softly and looked out the window. A sense of indescribable bewilderment gradually grew in her hazy vision...
Even she herself didn't know what kind of emotion this was.
…
The rain is getting heavier!
Late at night, raindrops fell into the yard, and crackling sounds were heard.
Under the eaves in the courtyard, inside the room.
The atmosphere is a little weird!
"You, why are you here?"
Liu Su was dressed in red, sitting alone and coldly, staring at the 'uninvited guest' in front of her with cold eyes.
"Can't I come?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at the familiar and cold face in front of him and spoke with a smile.
Liu Su was silent for a moment: "How did you find this place?"
She never told him where she lived, so how did he find out?
"It's really hard to find someone in the capital!"
Lin Jiangnian looked at her quietly: "However, it's not difficult to find you."
Liu Su didn't say anything and just looked at him quietly.
Lin Jiangnian continued, "You were injured a few days ago, and I guess you will definitely find a place to recuperate. There are not many places in Beijing where you can rest. From what I know about you, you are most likely in a stronghold of the Tianshen Sect..."
"And finding the Celestial God Cult's base is much easier. With a little investigation, we can find you!"
Liu Su's hiding place was not secret, so it was not difficult for Lin Jiangnian to find her.
After listening to this, Liu Su remained silent.
No words.
She hadn't been hiding from him in the first place, so it wasn't surprising that he had found her. What Liu Su hadn't expected was that Lin Jiangnian would suddenly appear before her tonight.
"What are you doing here?!"
Liu Su glanced at him and spoke expressionlessly.
Lin Jiang spoke in a young voice, his eyes soft, "I'll come and keep you company."
Today was New Year's Eve, and he knew that Liu Su had no relatives or friends in the capital. Lin Jiangnian had originally wanted to invite her to the Jiang residence to celebrate the New Year together, but given Liu Su's personality, there was no way she would agree.
But no matter what, Lin Jiangnian had to come and see her.
“No need!”
Liu Su still had a cold expression on her face and spoke lightly.
"Go with your kite!"
"I don't need it!"
“…”
