The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 264

"A gentleman like Lan." She rolled her lips and smiled, speaking calmly.

His eyes flashed, and he continued to wipe another emerald green leaf, his movements revealing extreme caution. "Maybe she thinks I'm a gentleman, but sometimes I'm more like a villain. Because I have hurt other people for that woman, so I can't be called a gentleman."

She was stunned, and could hear the remorse in his tone, but she didn't think much, and after a short silence, she asked softly.

"That's the woman you love."

"Correct."

He finally put down the pot of orchids, stood up, and walked out of the courtyard. After a while, Aunt Zhu brought in the breakfast, leaned into the woman's ear, and asked softly.

"Ma'am, what do you want to eat for lunch today, I will go to the market to buy it later."

The woman raised her eyebrows, her expression was more vivid than before, and she was no longer so lifeless. "No, we're leaving today."

"Go? Where are you going?" Aunt Zhu felt strange and asked.

She laughed, but said nothing.

Aunt Zhu guessed: "Oh, I see, let's go home."

She looked at the man who was still standing in the courtyard, then looked away, lowered her voice, and comforted him. "The young couple left their hometowns, and now Madam is in much better health, so it's time to go home and have a look."

"This room is for you." A cold voice came from outside the door. The man stood by the door, paused for a while, and said so.

Aunt Zhu's eyes lit up, and she turned around abruptly, with a look of joy on her face. "What, son, are you serious? Will you give me all the house?"

"And everything in the house is yours. We won't come back anyway." The man added that he came to live in this village that day because the residents here are simple and honest, so he wouldn't cause trouble.

In her heart, she became more certain that he knew her, so he would not take her to an unpleasant place.

Aunt Zhu smiled and said, "This is so embarrassing."

The woman stood up, looked straight into the other's eyes, and instructed. "You can accept it, Aunt Zhu, but I want you to take care of something."

"Please speak, ma'am."

"This pot of orchids is my son's favorite. I wonder if Aunt Zhu can come and take care of it in her spare time." The woman explained this sentence, not noticing the man's eyes, a strange emotion flashed.

"Of course, with so many benefits, I still need to help with this small matter."

"Aunt Zhu, you go out first."

The man walked into the room, passed her body, and locked his eyes on the woman.

After waiting to send Aunt Zhu away, he took out a brand new men's suit and a package from the closet.

"Let's change into another suit, it will be more convenient on the road." He handed her the robe, his voice low.He knew that that man had been looking for her this year. "Don't be afraid of this, someone covets your appearance."

However, he felt that keeping her away from that man was the best way.

"You're really thoughtful." She smiled, not knowing his real intentions.

After waiting for the woman to change into men's clothes, she opened the door and walked out.

Aunt Zhu, who was still waiting for them in the courtyard, thanked them repeatedly, until she sent the two of them out of the courtyard, got into the hired carriage, and gradually disappeared into the distance.

Los Angeles.

She got out of the carriage, and the spring sun made her warm. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the two words on the city gate.

I read it silently three times in my heart, and if it is really familiar, it should be right here.

"Follow the road I wrote in the kit, you will go home soon, and I should go too, so let's say goodbye."

The man lifted the curtain of the carriage, smiled lightly, and said it lightly.

"What's your name, can't you tell me?" She was in a hurry, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she asked anxiously.

He shook his head and said nothing, the smile on the corner of his mouth was still there, it was a kind of excessive quietness, the quietness made people feel chest tight, as if he couldn't breathe.

Where is he going?Why does it always make her feel uneasy?

She explained with clear eyes: "I always think of repaying your kindness in the future."

He refused to tell her again, and handed her the bundle with a gentle expression. "No."

Anyway, in this life, they will never see each other again, and he owes her this love, and she has no need to repay it.

She watched the carriage gradually go away in her line of sight. Although there was a trace of inexplicable loss in her heart, she didn't show it on her face.

Slowly, slowly, she raised her arms to embrace the spring sun, with a bright smile and a relaxed body.

She said to herself that she was finally home.

It's just that she just walked into the city gate, but she saw a group of officers and soldiers escorting more than ten people, blocking the way she was going to go. Like other ordinary people, she stepped aside and quietly observed those who were drawn by iron chains. There are many faces.

"What crime did they commit?"

She turned her head and asked a question.The old man beside him smiled and said, "These are all corrupt officials who have eaten the fat of the people. Thanks to the emperor's wisdom, they don't dare to be arrogant anymore. We also have a good life."

She just listened quietly, and was about to leave when she passed one of the middle-aged strange men beside her. His eyes suddenly sank, and he stuffed the paper ball into her hand.

She was terrified. The leader of the officers and soldiers saw that the young man who looked like a scholar was also a gangster, and suddenly shouted: "Arrest him too!"

Seeing that something was wrong, she suddenly clenched the ball of paper in her hand and rushed out of the crowd unconsciously. Although she didn't know much about the outside world, like ordinary people, she had unknown fear of the government.

The faster the footsteps and the louder the roar, the more she dared not stop. Turning a corner, she suddenly saw an inn in front of her, walked into the door, and hurried upstairs.

"Go in and search for me!"

Those officers and soldiers actually stopped at the entrance of the inn, searched for a while but failed, then entered the inn, and questioned the guests one by one downstairs.

She didn't dare to breathe, she hid her body in a corner, and saw Xiao Er coming out of a room, she saw that he hadn't locked the door, she walked in lightly, hid herself in the closet, and stabilized her body breathe.

It's been too long, too long, she hasn't run so violently.

It's okay not to dare, her heart is beating very fast, but she is sure that she will not die because of it.On the contrary, feel more carefree.

This strange feeling seems to be able to remind myself more truly that she is still alive!

It has been a year and a half like a living dead, but she can still walk and run, which is great!

She gradually calmed down and listened with her ears up, as if the officers and soldiers had gone to other places to look for them if they didn't find them downstairs. She finally let out a long breath, and was about to push open the cabinet door, but suddenly heard someone pushing the door and walking in. .

She panicked, and suddenly covered her mouth and nose with her hands, preventing her from breathing, revealing her whereabouts.

Time was passing by, and although the huge closet was completely dark, it gave her a great sense of security, and... she actually fell asleep just like that...

When she woke up leisurely, she gently opened a crack and looked at the whole room.

Strangely enough, it was also completely dark.She actually slept in the cabinet of the inn for two hours!She laughed at herself and blamed herself for being too reckless.

She rubbed her eyes and looked again, only to find that there was no candlelight!
Is the owner of the room already asleep because of the night?

It seems wrong, there is the sound of water.She pressed her ear to the door of the cupboard, her brows were slightly frowned, not knowing the source of the sound of water.

Could it be that the other party is taking a bath?
She looked away suddenly, her mind went blank, it seemed that she could only wait for the owner of the house to rest and fall asleep, then it would be better for her to sneak away and go downstairs.

It's a pity, it seems that I woke up early.

She simply relaxed, closed her eyes again, curled up, a yawn inadvertently ran out of her mouth, she suddenly covered her mouth to prevent herself from being too presumptuous.

Pulling herself together, she heard footsteps, as if the master had finished washing and was about to go to rest.

Again, a long silence.

The closet was too far away from the bed, even if she pricked her ears up, she still couldn't hear the master's snoring in the air.

After waiting patiently for a long time, a small white hand gently protruded out of the cabinet door, and then, a door was gently pushed open, and she straightened one leg, and managed to stand firm, pushing her whole body All get out.

Breaking away from the stuffy closet, she felt as if she had left the prison and gained freedom. She let out a long sigh of relief in her heart, tiptoed, and tried to escape in the darkness.

It's a pity that she was in the dark, and it was really hard to tell the direction. Before she could take the fourth step, she bumped into the corner of the table suddenly. She gritted her teeth in pain, but she didn't dare to shout, for fear of waking up the sleeping master and making a fuss. unnecessary trouble.

However, after walking three more steps, she bumped into something again!

She stretched out her hand, as if trying to support the table that she had knocked down, and carefully stuck it on. She never thought that what she touched was warm.

Uh, it seems to be a human body, is it a man's chest!
She was terrified, and suddenly withdrew her hand. Suddenly, a huge force came from her hand, which pushed her down suddenly. She fell to the cold ground in pain, but she didn't dare to speak.

In the boundless darkness, she couldn't see the other person's face clearly, she could only vaguely see that he was tall, and he didn't seem like a person to be provoked.

"The thief in Los Angeles is really arrogant. It's not easy to wait for a long time."

The indifferent and mocking voice came suddenly, and she couldn't help shaking her thin and slender body.

sky!As soon as he entered the door, he had already noticed her presence, and he was still calm and composed. He took a bath when he should take a bath, slept when he should sleep, and even acted for her, just to catch the action!
