Bu Jinghua, who was usually calm and collected, was greatly surprised by this turn of events. He instinctively closed his frightened eyes, but even when he felt himself thrown out of the carriage, he did not feel any pain. He slightly opened his watery eyes and what met them was a pair of patient and caring eyes.
"My beloved concubine, are you alright!?" Long Yan was currently hugging Bu Jinghua tightly. His huge body tightly wrapped around Bu Jinghua's fat body like a protective shell, preventing her from receiving even the slightest bit of damage.
This man didn't forget to act dumb even at a time like this. He didn't forget to call her his beloved concubine. She truly admired his control.
This man clearly had the ability to pull her back. He clearly had the ability to prevent two people from falling off the carriage. However, in front of Long Meng, he still chose to fall.
However, there was still a hint of gratitude in Bu Jinghua's heart. No matter the reason, this man actually used his body to protect her … She was not one of those ungrateful people. On the contrary, she was a gentleman who "threw Li and peach" into her heart. She had remembered everything that had happened today.
Bu Jinghua felt that this hug was very unnatural. He slightly shook her off as she wanted to escape from the warm embrace.
"Fourth Prince, Fourth Prince, and Imperial Consort, are you alright?!" At this moment, Long Meng, who had calmed the frightened horse, hurried over and looked at the two men on the ground with concern.
"Ugh …" "I'm fine …" Bu Jinghua embarrassedly averted his eyes. She hated being hugged like this. She hated this … Ambiguous! And Long Meng's inspection made her feel even more embarrassed … Embarrassment. Heavens, even I, who was usually indifferent to everything, would feel such embarrassment. Was it a red rain?
Why did she feel that she was becoming more and more unlike herself? Damn it … It was all because of this fool. Bu Jinghua cursed in his heart.
"Long Meng, what are you doing? You can't even drive a carriage properly, do you know that my beloved concubine was almost killed by you? Damn it, I'm going to tell royal father and mother to punish you well!" Bu Jinghua did not get angry. He was cursing loudly and threatening viciously. Oh god, she did not know that this man was ferocious.
She had thought that he was only pretending to be Number 1's silly smile and Number 2's pouting expression of grievance. She hadn't thought that Number 3's expression would appear again — maliciously cursing.
"This... "I'm sorry, Fourth Prince, but there really are too many stones on this path. I …" Long Meng felt a bit awkward after being scolded. He had indeed been careless just now. He had been too focused on listening to these two people's flirting that he had forgotten to take a look.
"I'm sorry, hmph, the one you're feeling sorry for is not me, but my beloved concubine. If anything happens to her, I'll definitely not forgive you!" Long Yan didn't seem to appreciate the kindness. He loudly cursed again, "Hurry up and apologize to your beloved concubine!" That childish voice was actually filled with killing intent. As expected of someone from the imperial family … Idiot!
He actually wanted Long Yan to apologize to Bu Jinghua. This guy, he actually defended her like that? Even though she clearly knew that this was fake, she couldn't help but feel slightly touched in her heart.
"Ugh …" Of course, Long Meng was also frightened by Long Yan's words. These philosophical words did not seem like they could be said by a fool, but the tone in his voice was also that of a fool. It was true that this brat really liked that little girl too much, which was why he said such "mature" words.
Long Yan speculated in his heart as he looked at Bu Jinghua. He cupped his fists and slightly bowed, "Fourth Prince's consort, you've been scared. I'm sorry, please forgive me!" Even if Long Meng belonged to the empress and was the butler of the fourth prince's residence, he was still secretly controlling Long Yan's every word and deed, but he was a reasonable person and this was indeed his own mistake. Even if he apologized to a little brat, he still felt that it was only right, not to mention the fact that he admired Bu Jinghua a little from the bottom of his heart.
"Ugh …" Actually, Bu Jinghua felt that this matter was entirely due to his carelessness. If it wasn't because he was too busy pulling the distance between Long Yan and himself, he wouldn't have been thrown out of the car.
"Uncle Meng, I'm fine!" She could only reply gently and once again slightly break free from his embrace. However, she discovered that her body was being held tighter by him on purpose. Damn it, this guy, just how long was he going to hold her for like that?
His left hand was wrapped around her waist while his right hand was protecting her head. He even forced her head into his broad chest, and his steady and powerful heartbeat was beating regularly beside her ears. Hearing that sound, her face was unexpectedly slightly hot, and an indescribable feeling surged up within her heart.
Bu Jinghua, what the heck are you thinking about? Why did he become so unambitious? Protection? Hmph, did you f * cking forget that only you can protect yourself? Long Yan had a purpose in doing so, and you know that very well, don't you? He actually wanted his eternal protection … Wake up.
Realizing that he had gone out of his way to think about it, Bu Jinghua immediately cursed himself in his heart. He withdrew his slightly out of tune state of mind and once again let himself become cold and indifferent.
She raised her head, wanting to order someone to let go of her. Coincidentally, she met a pair of starry eyes that contained a hint of a smile. Those bright eyes flashed with an enchanting smile, making her look extremely beautiful.
"You …" Bu Jinghua pulled his consciousness back and was about to give the order coldly.
"Long Meng, what are you still standing there for? "Hurry up and pull us up …" When he said yes, he actually tactfully let go of Bu Jinghua and commanded Long Meng.
"Yes sir!" Only then did Long Meng recover his senses and immediately pulled Bu Jinghua up. Then, he pulled up Long Yan, who was pressed down by Bu Jinghua, up.
"Ouch!" Long Meng pulled Long Yan's right hand, but didn't expect someone to wail miserably. He turned his hand and shockingly saw that his right elbow was already covered in blood, and the torn part of his clothes was still dripping with bright red blood.
"Fourth Prince, you're injured!" Long Meng cried out in alarm, his heart filled with worry as he looked at the wound.
"…" Bu Jinghua also saw the wound. Although she felt that it would be very painful, she was already used to being cold and indifferent, so she didn't know what to say. Even if the other person was injured because of her.
Bu Jinghua's cold expression slightly fluctuated as he looked at the wound.
"I'm fine!" It's fine for me to love my wife, it's fine for me to ache a little, it's just that … "It really hurts …" He bit his lips, his body trembling as he silently endured. His eyes had already become moist from the pain, but he still forced himself not to cry.
Wasn't such a childish and conceited act just like a tough little kid pretending to be strong? This guy, a dignified seven foot man, could actually deduce the identity of a child so vividly. It must have been because he had given a certain amount of "preparation" that he was able to be so vivid and lifelike.
Bu Jinghua thought to himself: In order to play the role of "fool", he must have suffered a lot.
"But …" Long Meng wanted to say something, but in the end he could only sigh lightly. "Fourth Prince, don't be afraid. Once I give you some medicine, you'll be fine!" Long Meng comforted her.
"En!" Long Yan nodded his head heavily. He did not seem to have the heart to look at his own seriously injured hand.
Pain was something that was unavoidable, but this little bit of pain was only a small matter to Long Yan. No matter how painful the injury was, he would endure it, let alone this little bit of pain. Staring at Bu Jinghua at the side, he saw that the girl was blankly staring at him. Although she wouldn't shed tears of gratitude because he saved her, Long Yan could tell from Bu Jinghua's dazed expression that she was secretly concerned about his injuries.
He looked down at the ground. There was actually a large stone there, and its surface was dyed red with blood. What his right hand had been protecting was her head. If it weren't for his right hand protecting her, then it was likely that her head would be the one that crashed into that rock, and the one bleeding would be her head. Heavens, if that was really the case, then she would be the one who turned into a fool.
With a slight shock in his heart, Bu Jinghua felt even more grateful towards Long Yan.
Seeing those slightly flickering eyes, Long Yan's mood improved greatly. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and even his pair of starry eyes revealed a smile.
"Ugh …" Bu Jinghua was slightly astonished when he saw those smiling eyes. When he thought of the reason, his entire face immediately turned cold. His pair of watery eyes furiously glared at Long Yan with a hint of contempt.
"Since your injuries are not light, I think we should head back! "It's such a hot day, there's nothing fun to be had. Let's go!" Bu Jinghua really wished that he could go back to his residence to sleep and cultivate. Now that it was like this, he believed that she would be able to explain everything. With this thought in mind, Bu Jinghua was in a good mood. He patted his messy clothes and jumped onto the carriage.
"No, I'm already here. How can I go back?" Hearing Bu Jinghua's words, Long Yan immediately retorted, "My beloved concubine, Imperial Father and Mother often instruct me to never give up halfway, so I will definitely bring you out to play for the day. You can rest assured. My hand is not too painful, so I can still play well! " Long Yan insisted.
"…" She wasn't worried at all, as she was almost smashed in the head when she didn't even reach the destination. She didn't know if he was doing it on purpose or not, but how could she know if something even more terrifying was about to happen?
"No, your hand is still bleeding, you have to apply the medicine properly and rest properly, only then can it be quick, if you accidentally fall down and even scratch your wound while playing, you will get infected, so, you have to go home and have a good rest!" Bu Jinghua felt disgusted at the bottom of his heart because those words were clearly not from her heart. She just wanted to go back. If she could go back now and say something against her will, she didn't mind. She was now facing a 'little brat', so she could only use this tone to communicate better.
Even if he faked it, she would do it too!
