Nie Shuangcheng and the guards were spread out to guard the entrance. Master would not eat, so they didn't dare to walk around carelessly. On the other hand, Yu Yan, who had waited for two hours and was extremely hungry, pushed open the door and went to ask for food from the shopkeeper.
"We've already ordered, but the waiter didn't say anything about serving the food, so we didn't dare to go in."
The shopkeeper explained to Yu Yan with an obsequious smile. The entire second floor of the small building was reserved, and there were also people guarding downstairs. No one was allowed to go up. One could tell with a single glance that he was no ordinary character. For some reason, he chose to discuss matters within his store. Even though he was scared witless, he didn't dare to leave the counter.
Yu Yan got him to cook a bowl of noodles and carried it up to him.
They had just left when she entered the room, and as they passed in front of her, they all clasped their hands together, but didn't make a sound, just striding down the stairs.
"Jin Cheng is already at the west gate. As long as this place that leads to Yuan City is set up as an ambush, he will definitely not be able to escape."
Yu Yan's heart sank, she put down the noodles and turned to look at the room.
Yulixiao's back was facing the door, but he just happened to turn his head, and saw her looking in, so he smiled and said something to Yulixiao. Yulixiao then turned his head, and his gaze stopped at her face.
She forced a smile, sat down at the table, and ate the noodles slowly.
"Sister-in-law, do you like that gift?" When Jin Cheng came out, he asked with a grin on his face.
"Jin Cheng!" Yulixiao's low voice sounded out right after.
Jin Cheng was still giggling and sniffing again, patting his own stomach, saying, "I'm really hungry."
"I don't have anything for you to eat, hurry up and go." Yulixiao walked out slowly and chased him away.
"Big brother is so stingy." Jin Cheng gave An Hong a look, and the two of them sat down on the side of the table, and stared at him while laughing.
"There are words on my face?" Yu Yan immediately covered her birthmark, her heart thumping.
"Not at all. This time, our brothers have gotten something good. Sister-in-law will definitely like it." Jin Cheng said as he took out a small box.
Yu Yan immediately thought of the gift that the brothers gave back to him. Her face immediately flushed red, she spat at them, then took the noodles and left.
"Sister-in-law, this is great stuff." Jin Cheng opened the box and shouted to her.
Yu Yan did not want to see it!
"Hurry up and leave." Yulixiao caught one of them with each hand and threw it away.
When the two of them reached the door, Jin Cheng turned and said, "Big brother, about the hope for the mountain stronghold, Big brother cannot take the risk himself. Let's talk after I find the way in."
"Let's go." Yulixiao gently waved his hand.
The two brothers bade farewell to Yu Yan, and then went down the stairs one in front and one behind. Everyone was eating downstairs. Yu Yan glanced at the table, the food was very simple, it was full.
"What about you?" She brought the noodles back to the table and said softly, "You can go down and eat. I'll eat this."
"I'm feeling wronged. Let me accompany you. Men, bring me a bowl of noodles." After giving his instructions, he sat back down at the table. His gaze fell on the exquisite and narrow lacquered box. He opened his long fingers and smiled as he looked at the exquisite ivory comb.
"What kind of rubbish is this?" Yu Yan could not help but blush and stealthily glanced at it.
"Good stuff." He handed her the comb and brushed it again on her sea.
"Why are the two of them so attentive?" Yu Yan then smiled and took the comb and looked at it.
Be careful, this bone comb is a weapon. Push it aside and you'll see a knife." he whispered, showing her. This was a chaotic world, it was a good thing to have this protective equipment.
Yu Yan looked at the exquisite bone comb that had suddenly turned into a sharp knife and whispered, "What if I don't have a heart to cut my own forehead?"
"Then turn into an ugly woman." He rolled his eyes and put the bone comb in her hair.
Yu Yan caressed it, laughed, and said softly: "Isn't that letting you off easy?"
"Why did the ugly girl let me off?" Yulixiao looked at her in shock.
"One is beautiful while the other is ugly. Even if you have two of me, aren't you taking advantage of me?" Yu Yan smiled as she looked at him. Finally, she took the initiative to raise her chopsticks and place it next to his mouth. She said softly, "Then, thank you for your bone comb."
Yulixiao's pupils contracted. He opened his mouth, took a mouthful of the noodles, and bit down on it with his chopsticks. Then, he lifted his hand to hold her wrist and squeezed lightly.
Yu Yan was still smiling, but under the pressure of his sharp eyes, she slowly stopped smiling.
"Your eyes have always been calm when it comes to other people's matters. When you hear about them, you become flustered uncontrollably. The way you feed me noodles is too stiff. He let go of her hand, ate the noodles, and said lightly.
Yu Yan looked at him and put down his chopsticks. She was silent for a while before she said: "I was trying to curry favor with him, but … Green Plum Bamboo Horse, two little guesses, is not love word, also have feelings. If you want me to watch the two of you tear each other apart, you might as well kill me. "
"Bastard!" Yulixiao was immediately furious, he slammed his palm on the table and roared at her.
"Listen to me first …" Yu Yan trembled in fear and quickly said: "I will cultivate a letter. You send someone to send it over, and I will advise him to go back and live with Princess Jing Ge, okay?"
"Impossible, the Yun Family won't accept it, but it's my fault after all. You're too merciful, so don't bring up this matter again." With a cold expression, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Yulixiao..."
"Don't forget what you want from me, and what I give you from me! If you dare to have any thoughts, I will strangle you with my own hands!" He strode away with no room for manoeuvre.
"I will take your heart, and give you my heart as well. But don't forget, you still have Chen Yao and Mingyue, I just want to advise our loved ones to stay away from the flames of war …" Yu Yan stood up, and said loudly to his back: "I will definitely write the letter, and will definitely get someone to send it to me. If you are worried, you can open it and look at it."
"If you don't want a finger, then just write."
"If you have the heart, then do it."
After Yu Yan shut her mouth, he suddenly turned around, her sharp eyes stared straight at Yu Yan, causing him to immediately retreat.
"What I want is a woman who is of one heart and one heart with me. Yu Yan, when you first entered my Duke's Palace, I told you everything clearly, and I forgot that your childhood sweetheart and I had no other ideas about her. Unless he submitted to me, as long as he follows Yu Tianqi, he will become my enemy and I will eliminate him."
"Can't he just go back?" Yu Yan hurriedly said.
"I let him go once, but he still came! Do you want to see them unite to deal with me? This is reality. You can only choose between Yun Qin and I, and the only outcome would be his death. Yu Yan, no matter how much I love you, there's still a limit.
The colder Yulixiao's eyes were, the colder Yu Yan's heart felt. Yulixiao pampered her, but on one condition, she could only rely on him and only listen to him. No matter the reason, no matter who it was, as long as they blocked Yulixiao's path, none of them would be able to. If Yu Yan dared to block her, Yulixiao would not give way.
"You clearly know …" Yu Yan was frustrated, she turned her head and looked to the side.
He clearly knew her relationship with the Yun Family, and he clearly knew what the Yun Family meant to her. He wasn't even willing to lie to her …
But how could Yulixiao be the type of person to use such a thing to deceive his woman? He didn't even bother to lie to her. What he wanted to do was the right thing to do. Yu Yan was his wife so she shouldn't be worried about the life and death of other men in the first place, nor should she argue with him about something like this.
He went downstairs.
Yu Yan pushed the noodles away and pulled it back. She poked it with her chopsticks a few times, like she was poking into his cold eyes.
"Princess, Prince told me to bring it up." Nie Shuangcheng brought out a plate of steaming hot steamed buns and a small bowl of porridge.
After all, Yulixiao still loved her.
Yu Yan picked up the steamed bun and gently nibbled at it. Inside, it was stuffed with tofu and vegetables. But her appetite had already been blocked by Yun Qin's matter. Yulixiao's arrangement had reached perfection, how could Yun Qin be his opponent? Yu Tianqi pulling him out to split Yulixiao's line of sight was too obvious. But the Yun Family had been loyal for generations, so even if they knew Yu Tianqi's goal, they would not reject his decree. Furthermore, with Yu Yan here, Yun Qin would probably wish that he could grow a pair of wings and fly over.
It wasn't like they had been together for three to five days. They had grown up holding hands since they were young, almost becoming husband and wife … If it wasn't for the unforeseen event, the husband and wife of this life would have been set in stone!
When Yu Yan saw that the steamed buns and the porridge had turned cold, she felt even more wronged and impatient.
Pushing open the door, Yulixiao had already finished eating and returned. Seeing that she had not eaten anything, his expression became heavy, and he could not help but berate: "What, do you really have to act so infatuated?"
