son, don't mess around

"Who?!"

In the cold and silent room, a man's voice suddenly rang out.

Zhao Xi, who was originally sitting in front of the bronze mirror with a gloomy look in his eyes, suddenly raised his eyes with an alert expression.

The Zhao Mansion was heavily guarded, with guards guarding both inside and outside, not to mention that the courtyard where she was was also guarded by many personal maids. Without her order, it was impossible for anyone to get close.

Not even her father.

Therefore, this sudden sound made Zhao Xi's hair stand on end.

But in the next second, my mind seemed to suddenly catch something... Why does this voice sound a little familiar?

wrong!

It sounds very familiar!

It sounded so familiar that Zhao Xi was a little dazed.

For a moment, I couldn't even remember whose voice it was.
Her eyes looked through the bronze mirror of her eyes towards the room behind her.

The lights flickered, illuminating the room. The window sill not far away was slightly open, and the cold wind at night rushed in from the window sill, bringing a little chill to the room. The leaves outside the window rustled, and occasionally the shadows of the trees fell, blowing up the veil of the door curtain in the room.

The scene in the room at this moment seems a little weird.

nobody!
There is nothing behind me.

At this moment, Zhao Xi even thought he was hallucinating.

Did you hear wrongly?

How could I hear a man's voice so late at night?

And that man’s voice is so similar to... that bastard and unfaithful guy?
Was it because she missed him so much that she had auditory hallucinations?

Zhao Xi was in a trance. She thought she was hallucinating...but why did this hallucination seem so real?

It didn’t sound like hallucination at all, but…

"what?"

As if noticing that Zhao Xi did not respond, a surprised voice was heard again in the room.

And this sound was clear and distinct.

It’s very clear!

Not an auditory hallucination!

Zhao Xi, who was in a trance, suddenly turned back.

Not far away, the cool night breeze was still pouring in from the window sill, blowing on her black hair. The hair that had not yet been completely wiped dry was emitting a hint of coolness, and it penetrated through the loose lapels of her clothes, sticking to her skin, exuding a chill.

But Zhao Xi didn't care about all that; she stared straight ahead.

As the light flickered, a silent figure appeared in the room. He was leaning against the door curtain, his hands folded across his chest, his head slightly tilted, and he was leaning against the wall pillar, looking at her.

When I saw this familiar face and familiar smile that I had been thinking about day and night suddenly appear before my eyes.

Zhao Xi looked even more dazed!

For a moment, she wondered if she was seeing things!
So she blinked hard, again and again, trying to see more clearly.

However, after blinking, the scene in front of me was not clearer, but instead had some blurry double images.

It was as if suddenly something blocked my vision.

However, this familiar face is very close...extremely clear!
You are not seeing things!
It’s not an illusion, it’s real!
Is it really... him?

"Ms. Zhao, long time no see?!"

The lights in the room were bright. Lin Jiangnian leaned against the wall, looking at the woman in front of him with a casual but amazed look, who had not been seen for a long time and whose face and temperament became more mature and outstanding.

After meeting Xu Zhongshan, Lin Jiangnian rushed to Zhao's house without stopping.

It has been more than half a year since I last left the capital. It was just the beginning of spring when I left. Now it is already the end of autumn in the blink of an eye.

Winter is almost here again!

When returning to the capital this time, Lin Jiangnian naturally did not forget that there was a woman in the Zhao Mansion in the capital whom he was thinking about day and night.

Having not seen her for more than half a year, he missed Miss Zhao's charming temperament and her charming long legs so much.

At this moment, Lin Jiangnian was looking at the beauty in front of him, who was sitting quietly in front of the dressing table, also staring at him.

Zhao Xi in sight was still as stunning as ever, with an elegant and refined temperament. She had just taken a bath, and her skin was white and tender, with a faint hint of heat coming out of it. Under her slightly wet hair, her delicate face was as natural as ever, still stunningly beautiful.

She was wearing a light-colored loose long skirt, her graceful figure was vaguely visible under the long skirt. She just sat quietly in front of the dressing table and looked at him.

Not a word.

All around, it suddenly became quiet.

Lin Jiangnian did not receive any response.

I thought we hadn't seen each other for half a year, but his sudden appearance at Zhao's house tonight could give Zhao Xi a big surprise.

She might be pleasantly surprised and moved to tears, or she might grit her teeth, angrily accuse him of being a heartless scum and throw a tantrum.

However, neither.

When she saw Lin Jiangnian appear, there was indeed some daze and surprise in her eyes.

However, after confirming that the figure in the room was Lin Jiangnian, she suddenly became much calmer, and did not react as Lin Jiangnian had imagined.

This woman...what's going on?
Could it be that after not seeing each other for half a year, this woman has fallen in love with someone else?
"Miss Zhao?"

Lin Jiangnian stared at her carefully for a few seconds, trying to see why she didn't react.

Or is he trying to suppress his emotions?

However, Lin Jiangnian was soon disappointed.

When he spoke again, finally, Zhao Xi's voice was heard in the room.

A mocking sneer appeared on her face, and she looked at Lin Jiangnian: "Hey, who is this?"

"So it's our Crown Prince? What a rare guest?"

"What wind blew our prince back to the capital?"

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

You know what, this sarcastic tone is really unpleasant to listen to.

"I haven't seen you for so long. I missed you so much. So I came back to see you."

Lin Jiangnian's face was full of smiles.

"is it?"

Zhao Xi sneered: "Maybe not?"

"Your Highness is such a person, busy with all kinds of affairs, how could he think of a little girl like me who was thrown into a corner and no one cared about me?"

"You're starting to play the victim, aren't you?"

Lin Jiangnian walked towards Zhao Xi with a smile on his face.

The light fragrance in the air, the scent of bath mixed with the body odor of the woman, smells very pleasant.

Zhao Xi's delicate and fair face became clearer and clearer in my sight. This delicate face, which now showed a mocking expression, was so kind and nostalgic.

Zhao Xi tilted her head slightly, looking at Lin Jiangnian who was gradually appearing before her, and said calmly, "I wonder what brings you here uninvited so late at night, Your Highness?"

"Tsk, you're still pretending, huh?"

Looking at the beautiful face in front of him, Lin Jiangnian said, "Weren't you hiding in the room and scolding me just now?"

"Are you turning your back on me now?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Xi's delicate face seemed to turn red, and then she sneered: "Your Highness may be overly sentimental. Why would I scold Your Highness?"

"Who did Miss Zhao just scold?"

"A pig!"

"Why would Miss Zhao insult a pig?"

"He deserves to be scolded!"

Lin Jiangnian stared into her eyes: "If I remember correctly, Miss Zhao just said that she was abandoned... Could it be that Miss Zhao was abandoned by a pig?"

Zhao Xi: "..."

"That's right!" Zhao Xi gritted his teeth and said.

"Oh~"

Lin Jiangnian said in a long tone: "Then Miss Zhao is quite miserable?!"

Zhao Xi bit her lower lip lightly, a hint of shame and anger flashing in her eyes.

"I have another question for Miss Zhao?"

Lin Jiangnian suddenly spoke again. He stared at the beautiful face in front of him, which was white and rosy, and suddenly moved closer. As he bent down slightly, the distance between them was instantly shortened.

Zhao Xi's beautiful eyes widened slightly. She was instinctively a little flustered and subconsciously wanted to lean back.

"Miss Zhao cursed that pig behind his back for no reason... Are you still thinking about that pig?"

Lin Jiangnian looked into her eyes.

Zhao Xi's eyes were filled with panic and anger. She gritted her teeth and leaned back: "No."

"Really not?"

"Really not!"

Zhao Xi saw that Lin Jiangnian seemed to be getting a little close to him: "Your Highness, please respect yourself!"

"We have differences between men and women!"

She spoke coldly, but in Lin Jiangnian's eyes, there was no deterrent effect at all. Instead, she seemed more adorable.

A shy and angry woman is the most attractive!
Lin Jiangnian looked at the blushing and embarrassed face in front of him. The curved willow-shaped eyebrows, bright almond eyes, small and straight nose, and the moist and red full lips with shallow marks left by the pearly teeth were extremely tempting.

The faint fragrance lingers in the nostrils.

At this moment, Lin Jiangnian recalled many distant memories.

Thinking back on every moment he spent with the young lady from the Zhao family, although the time was not long, Lin Jiangnian had a deep and unforgettable memory of it.

"But I miss Miss Zhao very much."

Lin Jiangnian looked at her and said softly, "More than half a year has passed since we parted on New Year's Day. During this period of time, I have missed Miss Zhao very much."

The voice was soft and full of tenderness.

However, when Zhao Xi heard this, he sneered: "Oh, maybe not?"

"Your Highness is addicted to the pleasures of life, surrounded by beautiful women. I'm afraid he has been partying every day for the past six months. How could he still remember me?"

"You are wrong. Miss Zhao is not only beautiful, but also as elegant as a fairy. She is also gentle and kind. She is a rare and beautiful woman in the world. How could I forget Miss Zhao?"

Lin Jiangnian said seriously.

Zhao Xi listened in a daze, and after a while he realized, "You are talking nonsense even more than before."

"What nonsense! These are all true words, and they all come from my heart!"

Lin Jiangnian vowed to do so.

"Ah!"

However, Zhao Xi still responded with a sneer.

"Your Highness, you'd better save these words to coax other girls. They won't work on me."

However, having said that, when she looked at the familiar face in front of her again, there was a hint of trance in her eyes.

"It may be a lie to others, but it is absolutely true to Miss Zhao. There is absolutely no falsehood."

Lin Jiang smiled young.

He could already confirm that after not seeing her for more than half a year, Zhao Xi in front of him was still the same person she was before.

Still no change.

Of course, that's the surface.

As for what's inside...that remains to be verified.

Seeing that Zhao Xi still had a look of contempt and sneer on his face, and still didn't believe his lies, Lin Jiangnian suddenly bent down and moved closer.

This time, it was almost close to Zhao Xi's eyes.

The tips of their noses were almost touching, and they could smell each other's breath.

Such a close distance frightened Zhao Xi. She said angrily, "You, what are you doing?!"

At this moment, she suddenly realized that the guy in front of her was pressing forward step by step, and had broken through her layers of defense without her knowing when, and was almost sticking to her? !

Zhao Xi's face flushed, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "You, get out of here!"

As she said that, she reached out and pushed, trying to push Lin Jiangnian away.

However, to no avail.

When her hands touched Lin Jiangnian's chest, she felt it was hot and hard, as immovable as a city wall.

Try to use force and be still.

This bastard is too tough!

Just when Zhao Xi was getting angry, he suddenly felt his hands being grabbed.

"you……"

Zhao Xi opened his eyes wide, he dared to do it? !
"You loosen up...ah..."

Before Zhao Xi could finish the word "open", she felt a strong force coming from her arms. Then, she was pulled up from the dressing table and thrown into a hot and hard embrace.

Then, the pair of hot and burning hands appeared on her waist, hugged her tightly, all in one go!
By the time Zhao Xi reacted, he was already being hugged, unable to move. He looked up and saw a smiling face.

Zhao Xi blushed and said angrily: "You, you let me go?!"

"what are you doing?!"

She was still angry, how dare he touch her?

However, Lin Jiangnian didn't care. Although the woman's reaction tonight was beyond his expectations, from her expression and words, he could still tell that the woman was still stubborn as always.

Even though she concealed it very well, Lin Jiangnian still saw the flash of surprise in her eyes when she saw him.

That's enough!

"Nothing, I just want to hug you."

Lin Jiangnian hugged the soft body of the woman in his arms, put his nose close to her snow-white neck, and smelled the familiar and pleasant fragrance. He felt relaxed and happy, and a little obsessed.

I don't care about this woman's stubbornness and nonsense. I'm used to it anyway. She is just using this method to hide her true emotions.

"It's been almost a year since we last met. Even if you don't believe me, I still have to say... I really miss you. I've always missed you."

"The thing I regretted most at the beginning of the year was not taking you with me."

"But it's okay, I'm back."

"This time, I will definitely take you with me."

"No one can stop it!"

"..."

Zhao Xi, who was originally being forcibly embraced by Lin Jiangnian, was struggling with a face full of shame and anger, when she suddenly heard Lin Jiangnian's sudden words.

She stood there in a daze, seeming to have forgotten to struggle. Her eyes were blank, and she let Lin Jiangnian hold her in a trance.

Lin Jiangnian's words seemed to make her feel emotional and recalled the past six months.

Then, at some point, those bright and clear eyes suddenly began to blur and turn red, as if something crystal was brewing and rolling.

"asshole!"

Zhao Xi reached out and punched him hard on the back twice.

superficial.

"Who told you to abandon me... and why haven't you replied to my letter for so long..."

"Who's going with you?"

“You wish!!”

The gentle tone was a little choked up.
