Chapter 120: I Wanted to Be Cared
Bai Aoxue opened her eyes weakly. She did not want to give herself away in front of Jun Yeyan, and she did not speak because the b.l.o.o.d.y smell in her mouth was so strong. She had no time to deal with it.
Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue’s pale face and frowned slightly. When she went out in the morning, she was still active, and her cheeks were rosy. How could she be so pale and powerless only after a moment?
“Xue? Do you feel uncomfortable?” When Jun Yeyan approached Bai Aoxue, the smell of rust and decay in the air slightly pa.s.sed into Jun Yeyan’s nose. His pupils suddenly contracted sharply.
Observing Bai Aoxue carefully again, he found that there was a crack in the clothes on Bai Aoxue’s shoulder, which was cut by a sharp weapon!
Bai Aoxue looked at Jun Yeyan and smiled bitterly. She knew she could not hide it. It was her mistake that she didn’t expect Jun Yeyan to come so early.
“Are you injured?” Storms suddenly surged to Jun Yeyan’s dark phoenix-like eyes. The fire of anger was wandering and raging.
Bai Aoxue stopped looking at Jun Yeyan, while she answered him in silence.
“You broke your promise! Do you still remember what you promised?” Jun Yeyan clenched his fists and looked at Bai Aoxue, trying to resist his anger.
Bai Aoxue knew that Jun Yeyan was angry and that his anger was about to burn her.
Remaining silent, Bai Aoxue did not want to explain. Since she had already been injured, she didn’t want to deny.
Jun Yeyan was somewhat angry about Bai Aoxue’s silence. Jun Yeyan was really angry and distressed since Bai Aoxue didn’t cherish herself.
But he was angrier with himself.
He was angry that he hadn’t been more willful. If he had left with her, he could have protected her when she was in danger.
Thinking of this, Jun Yeyan clenched his fist tightly and suppressed the anger in his heart. He asked in hoa.r.s.e voice: “Who did this?”
After Bai Aoxue listened to Jun Yeyan’s words, she was paused but still did not look up or spoke.
Jun Yeyan did not speak, either. He quietly waited for Bai Aoxue’s reply.
For a time, an embarra.s.sment atmosphere surrounded this room. They were just deadlocked like this.
In fact, Bai Aoxue had already regretted her decision. If she had known that Jun Yeyan would come, she must have changed her clothes early. Now Jun Yeyan discovered this truth, which was not out of her will.
But she wouldn’t explain the reason to Jun Yeyan. She had never thrown weight around. She could solve her own problems by herself.
Jun Yeyan waited for a long time, but Bai Aoxue still did not speak. It seemed that half a century had pa.s.sed.
He wasn’t patient. Except for the only thing he had been planning, he acted immediately and resolutely.
He had always been fierce and ruthless towards his opponents, but now he found that his only patience was probably spent on a stubborn young woman who remained silence in front of him now.
“Forget it. Although she is reluctant to say it now, there will be a day when she wants to say it.” Jun Yeyan helplessly comforted himself in mind.
He wanted to yield. When he was about to speak, he heard Bai Aoxue’s voice which was as still as water but with her inherent coldness.
“Jun Yeyan, don’t interfere in my personal affairs too much.” Her seemingly unintentional words irritated Jun Yeyan. The fire of anger rose again!
“What did you say? Say it again!” Jun Yeyan narrowed his charming and cold phoenix-like eyes. If he hadn’t had a murderous expression on his face, he would have been more attractive.
Although his words were indifferent, but if Zhao had been present, he would have been afraid.
This was the sign before Jun Yeyan got angry!
How could Bai Aoxue not feel Jun Yeyan’s murderous intention? But, she wasn’t afraid. Sighing slightly, Bai Aoxue looked up at Jun Yeyan.
“I am neither a flower in a greenhouse nor a baby eagle that needs your protection. I will do things properly. Even if I get hurt, I won’t cry for pain, let alone cry, because I don’t need anybody’s pity or sympathy. I have my own persistence. I don’t like to owe anybody.” In her phoenix-like eyes, there was persistence that no one could shake. It was burning and dazzling, but it made people reluctant to move their eyes.
Bai Aoxue was destined to be dazzling and magnificent.
It seemed that all the light gathered around her, surrounded her and believed in her!
After hearing Bai Aoxue’s words, Jun Yeyan was startled. How could he not know that his Xue was not a baby eagle or a flower in a greenhouse?
But when she was hurt, she would not cry, but it was him who was distressed.
“Forget about it… Have a good rest.” Jun Yeyan gazed deeply at Bai Aoxue for a second. Thousands of words were choked.
After that, Jun Yeyan went away before Bai Aoxue said anything. The speed was so fast that Bai Aoxue was caught by surprise.
Looking at the direction that Jun Yeyan left, Bai Aoxue smiled sarcastically.
We didn’t know whether she was laughing at her own ignorance or dishonest.
“I wanted to be cared…”
“I just… I don’t want to owe you too much. I can’t repay your love.”
She sighed with unspeakable sadness.
In fact, Jun Yeyan immediately regretted his decision after he left. At this moment, Xue must be very helpless. In fact, they were the same kind of people who were lonely for too long. Now they had each other. They must feel insecure.
His Xue seemed to be strong. However, she was just a woman!
But now, if he went back, he would lose face. Jun Yeyan stood on the wall outside of Bai Aoxue’s courtyard, gazing deeply at that pet.i.te and lovely figure through the window.
“Zhao.”
A dark figure appeared in front of Jun Yeyan in an instant.
“King, what’s your order?” He was humble and respectful.
“Ask Zhuifeng and others to guard here carefully. Even a fly is not allowed to come in. Pay attention to those people that Princess makes contact with. Don’t forget to send people to protect those maidservants secretly.” Jun Yeyan said coldly. A trace of decisiveness flashed across his eyes.
After hearing the words of Jun Yeyan, Zhao looked at him in surprise. “What happened to him today? Didn’t he want to stick to Princess in the early morning? Why does he send someone to protect her now?”
Although Zhao had doubts, he still quickly did his bit.
“When will Hong come back?” Jun Yeyan put his hands at his back. If someone had seen him, probably they would be shocked.
“Ten days at least. Fifteen days at most.” He dared not to hesitate. If he hadn’t noticed that his master was angry, his career as a shadow guard for so many years was worthless.
“Well, you can drink with me today.” Jun Yeyan sighed slightly.
When Zhao heard his words, he was immediately horrified! What happened to master and Princess? He even was going to drown his sorrow in wine!!
“As you wish.” Answered Zhao carefully. He dared not say more.
Maybe master would feel more at ease after drinking.
“I’m in Tianxiang Restaurant.” Jun Yeyan glanced at Zhao sideways. After he disappeared, his words were still lingering.
Watching Jun Yeyan left, Zhao called out those shadow guards in the dark and gave them detailed instructions.
“Zhuifeng, secretly protected Princess. Master may return later today. Pay attention to all the movements in mansion.” Looking at the young face in front of him, Zhao said earnestly.
The young man named Zhuifeng nodded seriously and said: “Don’t worry, Lord Zhao! I will protect Princess!”
There were inviolable affirmation and perseverance in his tone!
Zhao nodded satisfactorily. He a.s.signed tasks carefully and then left for Tianxiang Restaurant a.s.sured.
Just like him, after fighting with Bai Aoxue, Liushuang, who lost, also left for Tianxiang Restaurant.
After taking the antidote given by Bai Aoxue, Liushuang rested for a while and found that the severe pain all over his whole body had disappeared. Moreover, the whole body was much freer, and he became more energetic.
That antidote must be good. Liushuang felt it necessary to ask Bai Aoxue for more next time.
After flirting with a lady on the way and deceiving a child’s candied howls, Liushuang came to Tianxiang Restaurant in sway leisurely.
He had no complaints about Bai Aoxue at all. On the contrary, he appreciated Bai Aoxue very much. Besides, he was very interested in Bai Aoxue’s close combat, and he intended to have a chance to ask for some advices.
In addition, he was more interested in Bai Aoxue’s amazing skills in poisoning and gambling.
So, Liushuang didn’t think that Bai Aoxue’s request went too far. In the casino, he could gamble and also learn skills. Why not give it a try?
But Liushuang didn’t know that his attractive face had made many women jealous and won many admirers. He also let many men beat their b.r.e.a.s.t.s and stamp their feet, sighing that such a beautiful person was a man!
When he arrived at the private room that he already ordered, Liushuang saw a woman in the cloak. She was accompanied by two strong men.
Liushuang blinked his beautiful slant-eyes, looking at the three people in the room with his head tilted, and he still held the candied howls that was tricked from a runny child.
“I don’t remember that I asked you to come in.” Liushuang smiled and looked at them. That peerless appearance stunned those people present.
Liushuang picked up his mouth and sneered, looking at those people who were like clowns.
That woman seemed to notice Liushuang’s gaze and felt suffocated. She pretended to be calm and said: “Excuse me, your excellency. We came here just to ask if Bai Aoxue died.”
This woman did not know that Liushuang was handsome like G.o.ds. After seeing him, a storm was set off in her heart!
Liushuang looked at that woman and said calmly: “No.”
When this woman, who was still immersed in Liushuang’s beauty, heard his reply, she looked at Liushuang incredibly and said: “Why?! When you took over the task, you said you would kill Bai Aoxue!!!”
There was some unreasonable anger in her tone.
Liushuang listened to her question. He said disdainfully: “How dare you to judge me? Are you complaining about me?”
Although his tone was mild, that woman was terrified in an instant. She even didn’t have enough energy to speak.
“You… you misunderstood me… but since you took our money, how could you not finish the task? I just can’t figure it out.” She pretended to be calm. Looking at the two strong men around her, she regained some confidence.
“Don’t you know that I only do things according to my mood? I just don’t want to kill her. Do I need you to command me?” Liushuang glanced at that woman. Although that woman wore a veil, Liushuang had no interest in her appearance.
“Behave yourself! My master talks to you because she thinks highly of you! Don’t treat yourself as a garbage!” A strong man beside that woman pointed at Liushuang and said angrily. He was indeed angry because Liushuang was overbearing.
After listening to that man’s words, Liushuang smiled evilly and said: “It seems that before you came to me, you didn’t find out the news about me. Now, let me tell you one thing. I don’t like bullying dogs. I don’t like dogs that throw weight around. What’s more, I don’t like dogs that puff themselves up. Obviously their master is not powerful enough.”
