son, don't mess around

Chapter 758 Sudden Hug

Lin Jiangnian slowed down his pace and looked quietly at the two women under the eaves in the courtyard.

In the sight, there are two stunningly beautiful figures.

Zhi Yuan, dressed in a green dress with a white ribbon, has skin as white as cream, eyebrows like emerald feathers, and is as elegant as water. Her expression is cold and indifferent, like water.

Her temperament was as cold and silent as ever, but when she looked at her aunt, she was more obedient and docile.

Jiang Yuxiang, who was standing next to her, had a completely different temperament from Zhiyuan.

In terms of age, Jiang Yuxiang was much older than Zhiyuan, but when the two stood together, it was hard to tell.

It seems that the two are more like twins with very different personalities.

Jiang Yuxiang was wearing a light red and green satin skirt, which was brightly colored and showed off her unconventional temperament. The two peaks wrapped in the green dress on her upper body were towering, and her neckline was slightly open, revealing some of her skin, which was flawless and white, like white jade, which made her temperament even more beautiful.

Compared to Zhiyuan's immature and cold appearance, Jiang Yuxiang is more mature and gorgeous. It seems that after being nourished and shed her youthfulness, her every move reveals the temperament of a mature woman.

At this moment, under the eaves, Jiang Yuxiang was holding a kite and instructing others about something, and she was completely unaware of Lin Jiangnian's appearance.

Until Zhiyuan, who was quietly listening to her aunt's instructions, raised her eyes and her gaze fell on Lin Jiangnian not far away.

Jiang Yuxiang seemed to realize something at this moment, and looked up, and saw Lin Jiangnian approaching in his sight.

She showed a trace of panic at first, and then a displeased look appeared on her beautiful face: "What are you doing here?!"

Hearing that deliberate tone, Lin Jiangnian smiled and said, "What are you talking about?"

As he spoke, he walked closer and looked at the two girls in front of him. Looking at the well-behaved Zhiyuan, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As expected of growing up together, Zhiyuan only shows such a well-behaved side in front of her aunt.

Sure enough, one thing comes down to another.

"What does it have to do with you?"

Jiang Yuxiang glanced at Lin Jiangnian, and then warned: "This time when we go to the capital, you are not allowed to bully Zhiyuan, do you hear me?!"

"Aunt, what are you talking about? When have I ever bullied Zhiyuan?"

Lin Jiangnian spread his hands.

"Ah!"

Jiang Yuxiang didn't listen to his excuses at all, and turned to look at Zhiyuan: "Has he ever bullied you?"

Facing Lin Jiangnian's burning gaze, Zhiyuan remained calm and nodded indifferently.

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

"Zhiyuan, you have become a bad person!"

Lin Jiangnian was about to reprimand him, but was interrupted by Jiang Yuxiang, who said viciously, "If you dare to bully Zhiyuan again, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

As she spoke, Jiang Yuxiang pulled Zhiyuan and said angrily, "Zhiyuan, you have to be smart and don't let this brat bully you to death. If he dares to bully you again next time, you will teach him a lesson, no need to be polite... From now on, you represent my will, you are his elder, if he dares to mess around, you must not let him go..."

Jiang Yuxiang gritted her teeth and spoke angrily, not knowing whether she was really worried that Zhiyuan would be bullied. Or was she seeking revenge and venting some kind of emotion...

Zhiyuan listened quietly, without saying anything, just nodded, without refutation. In those smart and cold eyes, there seemed to be a flash of joy, and she glanced at Lin Jiangnian.

Lin Jiangnian stood aside and did not refute, just watched the scene quietly.

After the two girls finished whispering, he finally spoke: "Aunt, are you really not going with us?"

Lin Jiangnian did not bring many people with him on this trip to the capital. However, he did want to make an exception and bring his aunt along.

Firstly, my aunt has a very close relationship with the current empress dowager, so she might be able to help by going to Beijing this time.

Secondly, Lin Jiangnian naturally had some thoughts of repairing his relationship with his aunt.

Of course, it’s mainly for the second one!

However, after thinking and hesitating, Jiang Yuxiang flatly refused: "No!"

"Since you are going to the capital for business, why should I follow you?"

Jiang Yuxiang said unhappily: "I'm old now, so I won't join you in the fun."

"Who said that? Auntie, you are still very young."

Lin Jiangnian smiled playfully, but was glared at by Jiang Yuxiang again, and his expression became a little unnatural.

"How are the preparations going?"

She changed the subject and didn't look at him.

"almost."

Lin Jiangnian nodded: "We can get going now."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuxiang finally fell silent. A hint of sadness and reluctance was revealed in her eyes.

"You must be careful and stay safe when you go to the capital this time."

Jiang Yuxiang held the kite and said earnestly and worriedly, "No matter what happens, I hope you can come back safely."

Perhaps the assassination of Lin Jiangnian had cast a heavy shadow on her.

Jiang Yuxiang is always uneasy now. She feels like an old mother who is about to watch her child go far away, and she keeps mumbling.

Zhiyuan didn't say anything, but just held her aunt's hand slightly tightly and nodded.

"Don't worry, we will pay attention to safety and bring the kite back to you safely."

Lin Jiangnian interjected at an inappropriate time.

Jiang Yuxiang glared at him again: "Shut up!"

"I am talking about you!"

Why was she worried about the kite?
She had watched Zhiyuan grow up since she was a child, how could she not know what kind of personality Zhiyuan had? Zhiyuan had always been a mature and sensible girl, never messing around, and never acting recklessly. Jiang Yuxiang was not too worried about Zhiyuan's safety.

But this brat...

He still has the nerve to say that?
He is the one most likely to cause trouble.

This time when he went to the capital, he did not bring many of the prince's personal guards with him. If something like this happened again, the consequences would be disastrous.

The more Jiang Yuxiang thought about it, the angrier she became. The more she saw Lin Jiangnian's playful look, the angrier she became!

I couldn't help but want to reach out and pinch this brat's ears and teach him a lesson.

"Hey, auntie, please speak nicely and don't use force!"

Lin Jiangnian dodged and took a step back.

"You little brat, you must take good care of Zhiyuan on your way to the capital this time. If anything goes wrong with Zhiyuan, I will hold you accountable!"

"Don't worry, Auntie. I will definitely bring the kite back to you safely, right?"

Lin Jiangnian said this and looked at the kite.

But Zhiyuan slightly turned his eyes away, rolled his eyes and ignored him.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuxiang sighed again. As if hesitating about something, Yu Ran slowed down a little. She turned her head and looked at Zhiyuan next to her: "Zhiyuan, you go first, I have something to tell this brat."

Hearing this, Zhiyuan looked up at her aunt, then at Lin Jiangnian, said nothing, nodded, and left the courtyard first.

After Zhiyuan left, Jiang Yuxiang and Lin Jiangnian were left under the eaves in the courtyard.

"Auntie..."

Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised. He didn't know why she left him alone. When he was about to say something, he saw Jiang Yuxiang's serious expression.

"Don't be so frivolous!"

Jiang Yuxiang stared at him with a serious face, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what you are going to do in Beijing this time, and I don't want to ask. But you have to know that this trip to Beijing will definitely be very dangerous..."

"With the war in the north, the court has no time to take care of your Linwang Mansion. But this does not mean that you will not be plotted against by those with ulterior motives. The capital is now in crisis. You will definitely encounter various dangers when you go to the capital this time... It is a matter of life and death. I don't want anything to happen to you..." When she said this, she suddenly couldn't continue. There was an indescribable complex emotion in her tone.

Then, she took a deep breath and looked up at the familiar handsome face in front of her.

How familiar!

In a trance, I seemed to see some of my sister's shadow.

This brat has inherited his sister's good looks.

"You and Zhiyuan must return safely together, nothing can happen..."

When Jiang Yuxiang said this, her voice became very heavy. There was no warning or accusation in her tone, but instead there was a hint of request.

When Lin Jiangnian looked into his aunt's eyes, he realized that she was full of worry.

Lin Jiang sighed: "Aunt, you don't have to worry so much... You're acting like it's a life-and-death separation. I'm just going to the capital to do some work, not to die."

"Also, Auntie, I'm really not used to you being like this. You act like an old elder."

"Stop smiling!"

Jiang Yuxiang glared at him angrily and reiterated, "I am your elder!"

"It's really not a smirk."

Lin Jiangnian said, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely with Zhiyuan. I'm still young and don't want to die."

Seeing his aunt's gloomy face, Lin Jiangnian subconsciously added: "If I die, won't they have to remain widows?"

"Just for this reason, I have to come back no matter what!"

Jiang Yuxiang, who originally had a sullen face and was in a somewhat depressed mood, burst into laughter when she heard this.

This brat, is he still thinking about these things at this time?

"Can't you think of something normal?!"

“To me, this is normal stuff.”

Lin Jiangnian looked at her calmly and chuckled, "They are the most important people to me. For them, I will definitely come back."

"Of course, and you, Auntie."

"I?"

Jiang Yuxiang was caught off guard. He didn't expect Lin Jiangnian to suddenly mention him.

"Correct!"

Lin Jiangnian looked at her quietly and said seriously: "Aunt, you are also the most important person to me!"

Facing Lin Jiangnian's serious expression, Jiang Yuxiang suddenly panicked. She instinctively felt ashamed and wanted to escape. She felt very uneasy and a little panicked.

"you……"

She subconsciously looked away, her heartbeat began to speed up, the sudden tension enveloped her, and her face became extremely unnatural.

Why, why did this brat suddenly say this?
What does he want to do? !
Just when Jiang Yuxiang's mind was a little confused, she suddenly heard Lin Jiangnian's voice become soft and light: "Aunt."

"Ok?"

Jiang Yuxiang responded subconsciously.

"Can I hug you?"

Lin Jiangnian's voice came again.

This sentence made Jiang Yuxiang suddenly stunned.

Hug, hug?
A feeling of embarrassment instantly appeared on her face, and she stood there in shock. Before she could react, Lin Jiangnian suddenly stepped forward and hugged her in his arms.

When Jiang Yuxiang realized that she was wrapped in a warm embrace, her mind went completely blank. Her whole body was violently stimulated and became stiff and tense.

For a moment, I stood there in a daze.

I was totally unprepared for this sudden scene and had no idea how to react.

She just stood there in a daze, and Lin Jiangnian hugged her tightly.

When she finally reacted, Jiang Yuxiang's eyes widened in shock, and her face turned visibly red.

"you you……"

She panicked!
I never thought this brat would be so bold. How dare he... Wasn't my warning enough? !
How dare he lay hands on me?!

How audacious! He...

Jiang Yuxiang, who was shocked, ashamed and angry, instinctively felt that something was wrong and wanted to struggle and resist, but when this thought came to her mind and she looked up and saw Lin Jiangnian's face, she didn't know why her body seemed to be out of control and couldn't move.

She just stood there blankly, letting Lin Jiangnian hold her, letting the familiar breath wrap around her body and linger.

Jiang Yuxiang was panicking at the moment. She bit her red lips tightly, completely losing the calm temperament of an elder she had just had.

But after realizing that Lin Jiangnian didn't do anything other than hug her, didn't take advantage of her, and didn't touch her, Jiang Yuxiang felt relieved.

Then, a strange feeling emerged in my heart.

At this moment, she was in a trance for a moment, and also fell for a moment...

Suddenly, I really hope time will stop at this moment.

How nice it would be to stay at this moment forever...

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Jiang Yuxiang woke up from her dream and struggled to break free from Lin Jiangnian's arms.

Taking a step back, Jiang Yuxiang nervously and hurriedly tidied up her clothes, which were not messy at all. Her face was red with shame, she gasped for breath, and looked up at him: "You, what are you doing?!"

Lin Jiangnian quietly looked at the blushing face in front of him, who looked fierce but was actually weak and forced to remain calm, and said softly, "I just wanted to hug you because we are about to separate again."

"You better be like this!"

Jiang Yuxiang's heart trembled, and she warned with gritted teeth.

She was very confused and didn't know what to do or how to react. All her thoughts were disrupted by Lin Jiangnian's sudden hug.

How could this brat be so courageous?
How dare he hug his own?
Could it be that he was thinking...

At this moment, Jiang Yuxiang could only use an angry reaction to hide her panic.

She didn't dare to think about it!

"It's just a simple hug. You are not allowed to have any other thoughts. Do you hear me?!"

Jiang Yuxiang stared at him and warned him with gritted teeth!

"Uh-huh."

Lin Jiangnian nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, I definitely don't have any other ideas."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuxiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether it was self-deception or covering one's ears and stealing the bell, at least this answer preserved her dignity!

"That……"

At this time, Lin Jiangnian glanced at Jiang Yuxiang, whose face was flushed, and his heart moved. He immediately took advantage of the situation and asked cautiously, "Can I hug you again?"

"Just... a simple hug!"

"..."

"Get out of here!!"

"..."
