Chapter Twenty-Three: Tempting the Heart
Early in the morning, the little guy in the cloth village came to measure the size for me, saying that it was to make me a few clothes, I picked a few favorite colors, and by the way, I picked a few sets for Niannian, anyway, it was not my money, haha, I had to pick some good ones.
"Just these few styles, let's make a set first, and the rest will be done slowly." Fortunately, this big money owner is powerful, and he actually knows that I have no clothes to wear.
During this time, Yan Mo went out early and returned late every day, and we rarely saw each other, but today we actually came back early, which is really abnormal.
"Put on your new clothes, and I'll take you out in the evening." He commanded me! Yes, that's right, the tone is an order, not an inquiry.
"What? Anything to do? Although I was not satisfied with his attitude, I was still very excited to finally go out and relax.
"Let's go to the Drunken Immortal Building to see Huayue." He didn't say much.
"Oh, well!" I thought he was going to take me out to play, but it turned out that he was going to find Sister Huayue, and I was inevitably a little disappointed.
When I went out, he changed into a dress similar to the color of my clothes, which looked like a couple's outfit, and I thought it was a coincidence, it must be the person who made the clothes for me every day for him, so the eyes are the same.
"Wow! It's so lively outside! "It's been a long time since I've been out at night, and I knew I would sneak out every night.
"Miss, don't you know that today is the Qixi Festival? Every year, the Tanabata night can be lively. Xiao Nian said heartlessly.
"yes, if you don't say it, I'll forget!" These days are so difficult, where is the mood to think about these things.
It seems that he took me out, not just to see Huayue, he wanted to ask someone else for the holiday, so why did he call me and let me change my clothes, I dressed up in vain, and I was sulking in my heart, almost suffocating me.
"Lord Wang!" Hua Yue happily called, "I'll go and prepare your favorite tea for you." ”
"Okay, no need, you should also relax and go out for a while, I specially brought Weiwei to be your company." The prince's tone was obvious, and he usually treated me a lot better.
'Phew, why do you want to ask someone else to pull me up!' Annoying, it's annoying. Ahhhh.........h
"What's wrong? What is wrong with you? "Sister Huayue looked at my face and said with concern.
"No, no, how can I, I'm fine!" A disciple who is rare.
People come and go on the street, all kinds of small objects, very exquisite, looking at everyone looking happy, I reluctantly have to follow them on the street, the footsteps have become procrastinated, although the street is very lively, but the heart is not happy at all.
In fact, at the beginning, my small movements were seen by Yan Mo, this temper is not small, and my heart and eyes are also small. It's also a little cute, and an imperceptible smile appears at the corner of his mouth.
"Lord Wang, this is so cute, let's buy this." Hanazuki refers to this delicate little rabbit lantern.
"Okay!" Someone said yes quickly.
Yan Mo picked two casually, and when Hua Yue reached out to take it, he actually handed it to me first. Kazuki's hand stopped in mid-air, slightly embarrassed.
"Come, Niannian, here you go." I gave the lantern to Nian Nian, and I am not uncommon.
"Thank you, Miss." Nian Nian happily played with the lantern.
I was still holding my breath in my heart, where could I think so much, for me, it was better to say whether I liked it or not, so I went shopping on my own.
"Hey, Niannian, this jade pendant is good, look for him to get the money!" I have to think of a way to test his mind, and if he has no intention of me, then he can go and divorce and give me my freedom.
This jade pendant was originally whole, and it was divided into two halves, as a pair, the boss said, this is for the sweetheart.
If you're not happy, buy buy, buy, and if you make me angry, I'll spend your money, and I don't bring any money anyway. I bought a lot of small things with Niannian, and I also bought a lot of beautiful hairpins, all of which were given to Qingge, who made him always scare me with a sword before.
When I returned to the restaurant, Yan Mo and Sister Huayue talked and laughed, and they were happy to talk there, I kept a sad face, not happy at all, sitting alone by the window and watching the moon, I thought it would be a pleasant night, but I didn't expect to be half angry.
"We're leaving, you rest early."
"The prince walks slowly" Hua Yue's eyes were full of affection, and she was very reluctant to part with Yan Mo.
"Weiwei, you can often come to play with me when you have time in the future, I am much more interesting here than the palace." Kazuki is looking forward to my answer, maybe she's bored here too.
"Okay, thank you Sister Huayue, you can rest early." I replied weakly.
If I don't test it today, I may not be able to sleep, and I have to be suffocated by myself, so I have to ask clearly, if the person he likes is Hanazuki, then I will keep my distance from him, no, then I will leave here, and I will take revenge and find a way to inquire myself.
When I went back, I pulled Qingge off the carriage and insisted on riding in a carriage with him, but he didn't say anything, signaling Qingge to get off the horse and go with Niannian.
In the car behind, Nian Nian and Qingge both turned their heads, playing with the objects in their hands, and no one paid attention to anyone, like an awkward little couple.
We weren't much better in the car, he didn't speak, I looked down at the corner of my clothes, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Is there something wrong? Look you haven't talked much. Seeing me worried, he asked.
"You came here to make an appointment with Sister Huayue today, so why are you calling me, can't you go and play by yourself?" I said indignantly.
"I've never been to a place like this before." He seemed to be explaining something.
What do you mean? Didn't he make an appointment with Sister Huayue before? No matter what, I have to let it go, and success or failure is here.
"No, here's for you." I turned around and reached out to hand him the other half of the jade pendant, but I didn't dare to look at him.
He was surprised and looked at me silently.
"You put it on for me." His tone suddenly became extremely soft.
Oh my God, he actually accepted my jade pendant, and he actually asked me to put it on for him personally, what did he mean?
I reached out and tied the jade pendant around his waist, and the atmosphere became a little ambiguous, and I felt that the air froze in an instant.
"Alright." When I withdrew my hand, he grabbed mine.
"You're the most carefree girl I've ever met. I hope to protect you, and I hope you can always be happy, but in this troubled world, there are many things that we can't help ourselves. ”
I looked at him in amazement, not believing that these words were coming from his mouth. Isn't it the flower moon that he likes? Didn't he bring me out to be the companion of Kazuki?
Looking at my incredible appearance, he reached out and touched my face, and with a bang, my face turned red again.
Seeing my blushing and shy appearance, he suddenly didn't hold back and kissed himself, his soft lips covered mine, and a faint smell of agarwood hit, my eyes widened, and my head suddenly went blank.
When I reacted, I subconsciously pushed him away.
Just as the carriage had arrived at the door, I hurriedly ran out of the carriage and returned to my room, blushing.
"Miss, you wait for me." Nian Nian chased after him.
"Are you alright? What's wrong with her? Qingge wondered.
"It's okay, she may be in a hurry." Yan Mo made it up.
It could be a night where two people would lose sleep......
After returning to the room, Yan Mo couldn't sit still, for fear that what had just happened would surprise me, and he himself didn't expect that he would have such a move.
He walked over to the desk, rolled up his sleeves, took out his brush, and wrote my name on the paper many times until sleepiness hit him and he fell asleep on the table.
The morning sun shone on my face, and I woke up under the warm sunshine, thinking that I would not be able to sleep last night, but who knew that I slept extra sweetly.
When I got up, I started to dress up, and this was the first time we had met since we had shown our hearts, and I had to show my best side in front of him.
"Has she been here?" Yan Mo asked Qingge with some anxiety.
"Not yet!" Qingge had already seen it from yesterday's events.
"Prepare some food, I'll go over and have a meal with her." If it had been normal, I would have run over a long time ago, but now he is nervous.
"Miss! He's coming! Nian Nian saw Yan Mo running to tell me excitedly.
"Today's clothes are very flattering to you!" Looking at the way I was dressed up, he didn't know how to say compliments.
After eating with me greasy and crooked, he went out to do his own business.
He used to come back late every day, but now he always finds time to accompany me, teach me how to play chess, teach me how to ride a horse, take me to fly a kite, and occasionally teach me a little self-defense.
"Dress more for the night, I'll take you somewhere." Yan Mo took my hand and said softly.
"Here, get on the horse." He gently pulled me onto the horse and took me into his arms.
"Where are we going?" My heart was full of anticipation, and I was shy because I was held in his arms.
"You'll find out later!"
He took me to his favorite place, a secluded abode, surrounded by trees, flowers, and rockeries, with lots and lots of flowers in the yard, and the room was so elegantly decorated that you could see that the owner of the place was a very approachable person.
He was usually serious, but suddenly became a little sad, and he took my hand and hugged me into his arms.
"There are some things, I still want to tell you, since the mother left, I have been staying by Mo Yueli's side, when I was a child, I thought she treated me very well, she was always very strict with Yan Chen, but she spoke for me everywhere in front of my father, no matter what I did wrong, she interceded for me, and later I learned that she was selfish, she was just to make her father like his son more. She killed my mother, and I always have to settle accounts with her. There may be a lot of danger if you stay with me......"
"I'm not afraid, as long as I can stay by your side, I'm not afraid of anything." I'm the only one left at home, what can I be afraid of?
He buried his head in my neck and hugged me tighter. I know he doesn't want me to get hurt, but what's the point if I can't be with someone I like?
He hugged me for a long, long time, and I felt like I was going to run out of breath.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go back." I patted him on the shoulder, hoping he would go back and get a good night's sleep.
"Call my name!"
"Yan Mo~"
He kissed me on the forehead and took me home.
Oh, yes! This will be my home from now on.
