C619 Face her bravery head-on

Liu Tian Xin nodded her head, facing his "innocent" smile, she was unable to resist, it was hard for her to imagine that this person, who could smile so innocently, would actually sew up the mouths of two servants and send them into a brothel just a quarter of an hour ago.

Yan Jue's mood today was incomparably good, as though the entire world had warmed up along with him.

It was only the first day of the first month, and the weather in Jin City was still cold, but Yan Jue felt that his entire body was warm.

"Xiao Tian Xin."

Liu Tian Xin subconsciously raised her head to look at, only to see him looking at him with a faint smile, as if she had succeeded.

He reached out and gently patted her head, and said proudly: "You still dare to say that you're not Xiao Tian Xin."

"…"

Childish!

She stood up in front of Yan Jue, gestured to him, and looked at him again. This time, Yan Jue understood and nodded, saying: "Yes, I ate my fill."

Liu Tian Xin started to clean up the plate. Yan Jue got up and stood beside her to clean it up. His hand either intentionally or unintentionally touched her icy cold fingertips.

He grinned at her in a good mood and helped her pack.

After packing, Liu Tian Xin carried the food and walked out. Yan Jue followed behind her and walked out side by side with her.

After the two of them walked for a distance, Yan Jue suddenly stopped her. Under her astonished gaze, he took the food box from her hands and passed it to a servant. He casually grabbed her hand and walked in another direction.

Unexpectedly, Liu Tian Xin's hand was grabbed by him, causing him to feel anxious. She wanted to take it back, but she was grabbed tightly.

Yan Jue's cold and detached voice sounded beside his ear: "If I don't force you to admit that you're Xiao Tian Xin, don't force me to let go, okay?"

He used a begging tone to discuss with her, but Liu Tian Xin's struggling movements suddenly stopped. She looked up at the helplessness in his eyes and her heart ached.

Yan Jue smiled with satisfaction, the curve of his lips slowly spread outwards, holding onto Liu Tian Xin's hand, making it heavier, as though holding onto it like this, he really did not plan to let go of it for the rest of his life.

said in a bland voice. "My hands are a little cold, wear more tomorrow."

It was still not over yet, and there was still some time before curfew time, so the servants were still busy. When they saw how casually Yan Jue was holding onto Liu Tian Xin's hand and flaunting his presence in the garden, all of them raised their eyebrows, staring at him with widened eyes.

Heavens, what did they see? His Royal Highness was leading the mute sister around the garden! Is Your Highness trying to find a woman because Princess Tian Xin's death was affected?

Many people muttered in their hearts, looking at Yan Jue in disbelief, but no one dared to speak out the words in their hearts. They didn't forget the two maidservants that were stitched up and sent to the brothel.

When they thought about it, their bodies couldn't help but tremble twice. Their necks slightly shrank back, and the coldness that they had struggled to withdraw from the bottom of their hearts began to surface once again.

It was not that Liu Tian Xin did not notice the gazes of those servants, but it was also because she did not notice the strange looks that they were giving him, causing him to feel a dull pain in her heart.

She could understand what those people were thinking. Even if it was an ordinary person, they would not like an ugly mute, much less this handsome, beautiful, noble, and benevolent prince in front of them.

Although he understood in his heart, it did not mean that he would be happy. Thinking that holding his hand would one day lead another woman by the hand, Liu Tian Xin's heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife.

She quietly looked at Yan Jue's profile and didn't say a word.

Unknowingly, she had already been brought into the main courtyard by Yan Jue. Liu Tian Xin abruptly regained his senses and looked towards Yan Jue.

"You have something to say to me?"

Liu Tian Xin nodded, and pointed to the courtyard, after making a few gestures, Yan Jue understood the gist of the meaning, but purposefully made a wrong guess: "You said you want to stay here?"

Liu Tian Xin's actions paused for a moment. Looking at Yan Jue's light smile, she couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart.

How could she tell him that she wanted to live here?

She wanted the pen to come over and show him, but didn't she just slap herself in the mouth? He had previously said that he didn't know how to read.

She could only shake her head at Yan Jue and tried to make some gestures with her hands.

She wanted to say why did he bring her here!

How could he not understand such an obvious action?

She pointed at him, then pointed at herself, then pointed at the building in front of her, and looked at Yan Jue with an inquiring gaze.

Yan Jue held back the smile in his eyes and looked at her seriously. Then he asked: "Are you saying that you want to sleep here with me?"

"…"

Liu Tian Xin was so anxious that her face was flushed red. However, she couldn't say it, and couldn't write either, so she could only randomly gesture in front of Yan Jue.

After all, she had only learned sign language for a year and was not very proficient in it.

Seeing her flustered look, Yan Jue lightly coughed to the side with an empty fist, but he couldn't help but let out two soft laughs: "Sorry, this duke really doesn't understand what you're saying. I think this duke should teach you the word personally, coincidentally this duke is very free these days."

He took a step forward and stood next to Liu Tian Xin, "When you can read it, it'll be much easier for us to communicate."

Liu Tian Xin's face darkened, but because it was already late in the night, she did not see it very clearly.

Feeling Yan Jue approaching him intentionally or unintentionally, Liu Tian Xin felt as if he had lifted a rock and smashed it against his own foot.

If he had known earlier, he would have said that he knew how to read and write. In any case, Yan Jue had never seen her handwriting, so what was there for her to be afraid of?

At that time, he had originally wanted to stay as far away from Yan Jue as possible, because he couldn't understand what she had said. Naturally, he wouldn't let her sway in front of him. He would immediately confirm that she was Liu Tian Xin!

Or could it be that he treated her as "she" just because her figure was similar to Liu Tian Xin?

After all, "she" had already died in that great fire, and the entire xieqing knew of the matter. Easternum had long since received the news, so how could she have come out of nowhere?

Right now, he might have just treated "her" as a substitute for the dead Liu Tian Xin.

She walked backwards, distanced herself from Yan Jue, shook her head, rejected Yan Jue's good intentions, then quickly escaped the main yard in front of Yan Jue.

Yan Jue stood in the courtyard and did not give chase, the smile on his face slowly faded and turned bitter.

The girl he loved was right in front of him, but he didn't even have the courage to take off her veil and face her directly.
