C122 Transient Tranquility

The next day, Yan Qianxu rented a carriage from the town and brought Ji Shuangshuang and to the capital city. Originally, his bodyguards wanted to drive, but Yan Qianxu knew his own business. He and Ji Shuangshuang could be considered to be fake married, but this matter was only known to Ji Shuangshuang and him, and the others were not clear of it.

But because of the fake marriage, it would be a little awkward if he sat in the horse carriage with Ji Shuangshuang and her sister. Therefore, he refused the kindness of the guards and drove his own car, allowing the guards to follow him.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you come in." My sister just got married to you, and you aren't even coming in to accompany her? " Just as Yan Qianxu was sitting on the carriage, Ji Xiaoqiu stuck her head out from behind the curtain and laughed as she stared at him.

Ever since she had left the Ji Family, Ji Xiaoqiu had become much more lively.

Although Yan Qianxu was happy in his heart, he knew that he and her would still be together in the future, and there was no need to be hasty about it. Therefore, just as he was about to shake his head and reject, Ji Xiaoqiu was suddenly pulled in.

"Xiaoqiu, don't disturb Big Brother Yan!" Then, Yan Qianxu, who had good hearing, heard a soft and embarrassed voice.

"But what I said was the truth! You and Brother-in-law just got married, so of course you have to cultivate your relationship together. That's what I read in books! " Ji Xiaoqiu said seriously.

The corner of Ji Shuangshuang's mouth twitched, and she could not help but ask: "What kind of books did you read in the end?"

"I only took a glance at it when I flipped through it." In any case, the book said that when a man and a woman get married, they must develop their relationship! " Ji Xiaoqiu said with a serious face.

Hearing Ji Xiaoqiu's words, Ji Shuangshuang suddenly felt that it was all her fault for showing too little concern for Xiaoqiu, as he never cared about her reading any sort of book. A book between a man and a woman was not what Xiaoqiu should have read at all.

"Don't read those random books in the future." Regarding this, Ji Shuangshuang directly said it.

"I didn't read those books." Xiaoqiu said seriously: "I just happened to flip through it casually, I only took a glance. I didn't mean to. "

Hearing the voice coming from the carriage, Yan Qianxu could not help but want to laugh.

This day could still be considered calm and peaceful, as he did not run into any assassins, causing Yan Qianxu to faintly heave a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart. Before he reached Wang Jing, he didn't want to tell Ji Shuangshuang his real identity.

It was not because he was worried, but because he did not want Ji Shuangshuang to feel too much psychological pressure. Before that, he wanted her to be happy.

"We won't be able to find an inn today. We have to sleep out in the wild. You two stay in the carriage for the night, and I'll be on guard tonight. " The carriage finally stopped after walking for a day, Yan Qianxu said.

"Why don't we switch to keeping watch?" Ji Shuangshuang suggested. She looked at the horse carriage that Yan Qianxu had been driving for the whole day and felt that it was hard for him.

Yan Qianxu rejected it: "Do you want me to sleep inside the carriage?"

The air suddenly became silent, only then did Ji Shuangshuang, who brought up this topic, feel that something was amiss. What she said just now was purely because she felt that Yan Qianxu had worked too hard.

"Cough cough, Yan Qianxu!" Ji Shuangshuang was purely angry from embarrassment.

Yan Qianxu did not reply, he only looked at her, then ordered his men to hunt. After eating rations in the horse carriage for an entire day, he wanted to eat something hot. Soon, a fire was lit and the few of them sat in front of it. After dinner, Ji Xiaoqiu got on the carriage.

"If you hear anything tonight, don't come out. Stay inside." Yan Qianxu only left Ji Shuangshuang behind just to give her a few words of advice.

He knew that the journey back would not be peaceful. If something were to really happen tonight, he did not want Ji Shuangshuang to run out.

"Why?" Ji Shuangshuang looked at Yan Qianxu and asked puzzledly. However, she was thinking in her heart: Could it be that those people who assassinated Yan Qianxu still refused to hand him over? When she thought of this, she also frowned. If that was the case, then it definitely wouldn't be peaceful following him.

"What is it? Are you regretting your decision to stay with me? " Seeing her frowning, Yan Qianxu couldn't help but ask.

Ji Shuangshuang stared at him and said: "What do you think of me? Am I that kind of person? Furthermore, if not for you, who in the village would be willing to let my Lady Wang go? "

She knew very well that the only reason Lady Wang was able to agree to marry Yan Qianxu was all because of Yan Qianxu's betrothal gift. If it was someone else, who would be willing to give so many gifts? She did not want to stay in the Ji Family for her entire life. As for her bringing Ji Xiaoqiu and sneakily leaving the Ji Family, it was also impossible.

If Lady Wang and the rest made a big fuss about the matter of them secretly running away from home, it would be a huge crisis. At that time, even if she brought Xiaoqiu and left, her reputation would not be too good either.

She did not care about reputation, but she could not help but care about Xiaoqiu's reputation.

"You." Yan Qianxu sighed, "I know the road might not be peaceful, but I still insist on bringing you guys along. You must have confidence in me."

Ji Shuangshuang nodded: "I understand what you are saying." She suddenly understood that in such a situation, Yan Qianxu had brought the two sisters out of the Spirit Sage Village and delayed them for a few days, just what pressure was he bearing.

If it wasn't for them, Yan Qianxu's journey back to the capital would definitely be much easier than taking the two of them with him.

"Thank you." She shouldn't have said thank you, but she did. There was a tacit understanding between them, and they had helped each other before. Of course, most of the time, she had been helped.

"We're husband and wife, what's there to thank me for?" Yan Qianxu said in a low voice, "Alright, you rest early."

Hearing his words, Ji Shuangshuang felt that her heart was no longer at peace. After getting on the carriage, she started to blame herself: it was clearly a business deal, why would you blush when it was a fake marriage?

Yan Qianxu's attitude made her a little worried for his future. However, he had already placed his and Xiaoqiu's trust in Yan Qianxu into his hands, what was there to worry about?

With that in mind, Ji Shuangshuang fell asleep.

Yan Qianxu, however, was completely awake. He stared at the pitch-black night sky, without even a few stars in his eyes. He had a bad premonition in his heart. But he didn't know when this feeling would come.

He leaned on the tree trunk and waited for the night to pass. When travelling, it was actually taboo to sleep out in the open. When you're outside at night, you're prone to sudden incidents. Of course, to him, he was worried that those people would come and assassinate him during the night. He was not afraid of assassinations, but assassinations were more troublesome.

He could only hope that he would be able to pass this day peacefully. However, there was a saying that was called "the heavens do not fulfil the wishes of others". His plans might not come true.
