Queen in modern times

Chapter 166 Xiao Xiao's Comb (3)

***
Xiao had no choice but to take his comb that took a lot of time to build, but the result was unsatisfactory, and stand behind Su Hen.

Su Hen's hair was black and soft, hanging straight down to his waist, like a waterfall, just looking at it, there was an infinite charm.

This is the first time that Xiao is so close to Su Hen.

In the past, he was always neither far nor near, just within five steps of her.

Now, it's so close that he can smell the fragrance in her hair, so close that he can touch her.

In Dayong, many women, especially women with certain power, prefer all kinds of men, and there are a lot of men in the family.

But Su Hen never got close to any men, nor accepted any men's favorites. Even the emperor wanted her to get married as soon as possible, but she refused, publicly saying that she didn't like men.

Therefore, she was considered by the people in the court to have a habit of cutting off a sleeve, and thought that she only fell in love with Liancheng Xiaofei, whose life and death were unknown.

Su Hen didn't refute the rumors, he acquiesced at the time.

Only Xiao, who has been guarding her personally for more than ten years, knows that it's not that she doesn't like men, it's just that she doesn't want to have feelings for anyone.

He is one of the people who knows about her grand plan, one is her teacher, and the other is him.

During one drinking session, she said to him, "Actually, I really want to find a partner so that we can live together and not be so lonely. But, I can't. My future behavior will inevitably mean bloodshed. I can't let me The people I care about will die under the knife because of me. Before I have enough ability to protect the people I love, I will not fall in love with anyone, and I don’t want anyone to fall in love with me, no matter how lonely I am Also endure."

When she said this, his heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to blurt out, "I'm not afraid of any bleeding to death, and I don't need protection."

However, he did not say this in the end.

She is a prince of noble blood, while he is just a bodyguard.

All he has to do is to guard her by her side and give her the greatest safety.

He also doesn't want to be a burden for her to flex her muscles in the future.

As long as he can accomplish her, he can become her abandoned son.

"comb!"

Su Hen ordered.

The comb in Xiao's hand began to slide along her hairline.

The hair is soft and smooth, and can be combed from the crown to the bottom with just a light movement.

As the strands of hair rose, the wafting fragrance only infiltrated his nostrils and made his heart fluctuate slightly.

Su Hen's heart was not very calm at this time.

Usually, the servants combed her hair, and she was numb and felt nothing.

Now, seeing Xiao in the mirror holding a comb and combing it clumsily, as if combing it into her heart all at once, she had an impulse to reach out and grab his hand holding the comb, "Be my man's favorite!" , how are you?"

Xiao's hands trembled slightly, and the comb fell to the ground.

The air froze for a moment...

Seeing the blush quickly rising on his face, Su Hen suddenly chuckled, and let go of the hand on the back of his hand, "It's just a joke, haha."

Xiao's taut heart relaxed slightly, but a sense of loss flashed across his eyes.

He bowed his head, picked up the comb on the ground again, and combed her hair again silently.

Su Hen also stopped talking, closed his eyes, and let himself calm down a little.

Only she knew that she wasn't joking just now.

It's just that she can't.

Now, she can still use her young age to reject her mother's marriage proposal.

In a few years, it will be impossible to refuse.

What's more, in order to complete her plan, she must marry the son of a powerful minister in the court, and strive for strong cooperation to achieve great things together.

She didn't want to wrong Xiao Xiao, and didn't want to ruin his life.

It is enough for him to be her bodyguard and her friend, and when she finds a good partner, she will propose a marriage for him, let him live a happy married life, and withdraw from her great career .

She doesn't want anyone she cares about to fall prey to her politics/conspiracies.
