Lu Jiuyuan froze, and a haze crossed his eyebrows.

With his long arms, he pressed the girl's soft body into his arms.

Tao Yao was suddenly taken into his arms, and he didn't care about it at first.

After all, he wasn't the first to hug her.

But when the shadow fell, she finally panicked in her heart.

Her curly eyelashes flickered a few times, and just as she wanted to retreat, the man's big hand suddenly pinched the back of her neck.

She was forced to tilt her face up.

The next moment, the man's somewhat cool lips covered hers.

She was stunned, her eyelashes fluttering a few times.

When she came back to her senses, she stared at the man's magnified handsome face with wide eyes.

Lu Jiuyuan actually kissed her......

Lu Jiuyuan was also stunned.

The girl's lips were softer than he had ever imagined, seducing him and making him ......

But looking at the girl's stunned look, he was finally afraid of scaring her, so he narrowed his eyes, suppressed the surging Gu Yaose, and let go of her.

Under the cover of the night, his handsome face was crimson, I don't know if it was because of the wine or other reasons.

"Let's go." He finished in a hoarse voice, and then took the lead.

Tao Yao came to his senses and followed silently.

Thinking of Fang Cai's matter, her little face was also hot.

Lu Jiuyuan actually kissed her......

Her heart was still beating fast and pounding......

Because of this episode, both of them were a little silent, and neither of them spoke again.

When he returned to the banquet, Nie Dongjia was bidding farewell to everyone.

Seeing this, Tao Yao suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart, walked quickly to both sides, stepped forward and grabbed her arm, "Aunt Mulan, it's late today, why don't you rest in the mansion and go back tomorrow." ”

Nie Dongjia also drank some wine, although he was not as drunk as Tao Qian, but he was also a little drunk at this time.

Hearing Tao Yao's title, she was stunned and looked at her fixedly for a moment.

Then, she held her hand and said with emotion: "I've really grown up." ”

Hearing this, Tao Yao was a little reluctant, and said sincerely: "In the past, I was ignorant, Aunt Mulan don't take it to heart." ”

"I know, I don't take it personally, but I'm glad to see you like this today.

But, your dad ...... I can't get into his heart. When Nie Dongjia said the latter sentence, his voice was low, and he didn't listen carefully, so he couldn't hear it clearly.

And when she finished speaking, she suddenly looked away, as if looking at the night sky.

But Tao Yao clearly saw tears flashing in her eyes.

She sighed inwardly.

Nie Dong's family has not been married for so many years, it is indeed because of her father.

For a moment, she didn't know how to comfort her.

Because judging from today's events, her father has indeed never forgotten her mother, and her mother, who should have passed away, is very likely not dead......

It's just that she doesn't understand, since her mother is not dead, why doesn't she come back?

And what does she mean by the belt she suddenly sent?

Did he deliberately arouse her father's feelings for her?

But seeing her father so uncomfortable, is she happy?

"Okay, I'm talking a little too much today, I'll go back first." Nie Dongjia cleaned up his mood and said goodbye to her.

"I'll send you." Tao Yao came back to his senses and said softly.

Nie Dongjia smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”

Tao Yao sent her all the way outside the mansion and watched her get into the carriage.

"I'm dying, I'm free to come to Jiangnan to play." Nie Dongjia poked his head out of the window and looked at her lovingly.

Tao Yao was stunned for a moment and took two steps closer, "Are you going back to Jiangnan?" ”

Nie Dongjia nodded, "There are many affairs in the clan, and I need to go back to take care of them." ”

"But you came all the way to the capital to celebrate my father's birthday, and you have only been here for a day, and you are going back? My dad ......"

"Wasn't that what I did in previous years?" Nie Dongjia interrupted her with a smile and said softly, "Take good care of your father." ”

"I will." Tao Yao nodded, "Nie Dongjia should also take care, when I am free, I will go to Jiangnan with my father to find you." ”

Nie Dongjia was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a smile, "Okay." ”

As soon as she lowered the curtains, the carriage started.

Watching the carriage gradually disappear into the night, Tao Yao felt a little unspeakable in his heart.

Nie Dong's family likes her father, and for her father, she has not been married for many years, but in her father's heart, there is only her mother, and after so many years, she still misses her mother.

Today, because of a belt, he got drunk and drunk.

Where is her mother?

Is she really alive?

When Tao Yao turned back again, only Tao Tian and Tao Jingyan father and son were left on the table to accompany Lu Jiuyuan.

A few people sat down for a while, and seeing that it was not too early, Lu Jiuyuan and Tao Yao got up to say goodbye.

When getting into the carriage, Tao Yao was suddenly stopped by Xi'er.

"What's wrong?" She asked, looking back.

Xi'er leaned in and whispered, "Miss, remember to seize the opportunity." ”

Tao Yao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what was coming.

Suddenly a little embarrassed.

This girl actually asked her to seize the opportunity to seduce Lu Jiuyuan?

Thinking of the kiss in the garden, her little face burned in an instant.

This......

"Let's go up." Lu Jiuyuan walked over from behind and said in a low voice.

Tao Yao hurriedly collected his thoughts and nodded in a panic, "Oh." ”

Because of Xi'er's reminder and the kiss in the garden, after getting into the carriage, when facing Lu Jiuyuan alone, Tao Yao felt shy and uncomfortable, and subconsciously sat farther away.

Sensing that she was deliberately far away, Lu Jiuyuan paused, pursed his lips and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

He suddenly spoke, startling the upset Tao Yao, and stammered, "What...... What's wrong? ”

Lu Jiuyuan's eyes fell on her blushing little face, and unexpectedly, he remembered the kiss just now, and he was a little uncomfortable for a moment.

He pulled down the corners of his robes and pushed open the window.

At the same time, a burst of sound suddenly came.

His complexion changed, and he quickly reached out and pulled Tao Yao, who was facing the window, over.

With a "bang", Tao Yao's head crashed directly into his arms.

Her head went blank for a moment.

But at this moment, an arrow, with a "tuk", was inserted into the wall of the car next to it.

Tao Yao turned his head to look, and when he saw the trembling arrow, his little face turned white with fright.

Just now, she almost died from this arrow.

Fortunately, Lu Jiuyuan pulled her.

Otherwise......

She couldn't imagine it.

"There are assassins, quickly protect the Duke and the Lady!"

Suddenly, Uze's voice came from outside.

Immediately after, there was the sound of a fight.

Tao Yao reacted, his eyes widening.

They were assassinated......

"Don't be afraid." Lu Jiuyuan took her into his arms, put his big hand on her back, and patted her gently.

His voice seemed to have the power to soothe people's hearts, Tao Yao snuggled in his arms, and the fear in his heart faded a lot in an instant, but the little hand subconsciously hugged his waist tightly.

The sound of fighting and screaming outside filled the silent night, but Lu Jiuyuan did not move, his hand still gently patting the frightened girl.

Occasionally, a few assassins, when they broke through the defense and killed in the carriage, they were easily solved by him.

And Tao Yao, who was protected by him in his arms, didn't even notice it.
