stern wife

Chapter 238 Thoughtful
As soon as he raised his head, he was facing a pair of bright and sharp eyes illuminated by the oil lamp. How could there be any trace of sleepiness in those eyes?
The opponent's fists and slaps were not tasty. Facing the little hedgehog with an unfriendly expression, Baili Lieyuan put away her wolf claws wisely and said without panic:
"This king wants to say goodbye to you."

"Oh?"

Pei Xiaoran sat up cross-legged, his eyes were still fixed on him, and his tone was full of suspicion:

"Say goodbye to such a serious thing, don't you need to sneak into other people's rooms in the middle of the night to do it?"

Tsk, it's still cuter when it's asleep, but when it's awake, it's a little hedgehog covered in spikes.

Baili Lieyuan said with a full face of grievance:
"Do you think this king likes to sneak into other people's rooms like a thief? Do you know how much effort this king has spent trying to get rid of Nian'er's entanglement? Of course, this king wants to say goodbye to you in broad daylight, but it's a pity , Some people are afraid that they will not let this king fulfill his wish."

Pei Xiaoran sneered and said:
"There are people who are helpless even His Royal Highness Li Wang? It seems that His Highness Li Wang treats that person differently from others..."

Seeing that this little thing misunderstood, Baili Lieyuan immediately clarified:

"This king didn't act because of my sister. If my sister didn't rely on that person so much, this king would have cleaned it up long ago. Why would I keep it until now?"

After the explanation was over, Baili Lieyuan realized why he was in such a hurry to explain to this little kid? !
Pei Xiaoran shrugged indifferently, not caring at all how Baili Lieyuan treated 'that person'.

Anyway, she's leaving tomorrow, and she probably won't come to this place again in the future. What does 'that person' go or stay have to do with her?

Covering his mouth and yawning, Pei Xiaoran unceremoniously issued the order to chase away the guests:

"Farewell, I'm done. Xiao Ran still wants to leave early tomorrow. If His Highness has nothing else to do, please go back to rest earlier, and walk slowly."

As he said that, his small body tilted, and he wanted to fall back on the pillow and continue to sleep.

Baili Lieyuan didn't mind her ordering her to chase away guests, but she narrowed her eyes and said slowly:
"Don't you always want to know who is behind the sneak attack on us?"

Pei Xiaoran, whose head was already stained with the pillow, immediately sat up straight, grabbed his sleeve and asked:
"who is it?!"

Baili Lieyuan smiled and said:
"I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you."

"How do you know I won't believe it if your Highness doesn't tell me?"

Baili Lieyuan hooked her fingers at her.

Pei Xiaoran curled his lips, but in order to get the truth, he moved his butt in the direction of Baili Lieyuan, leaned forward and brought his ears closer.

Baili Lieyuan grabbed that little ear, parted her thin lips lightly, and uttered four words.

Pei Xiaoran opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Baili Lieyuan took advantage of the opportunity to pinch that soft face to get used to it, then let her go, and asked with a smile:

"How? Do you not believe what the king said?"

Pei Xiaoran was shocked and didn't care that the other party took advantage of her, but subconsciously replied:

"It's really unexpected, but... Your Highness once told me before that living comfortably is not necessarily a good thing, it's just someone who wants to destroy a person in another way, so I still believe this answer."

"But—" She changed the subject, looked at Baili Lieyuan, and asked:
"Since His Highness already knew who the murderer was, why didn't he tell me until now?"

Baili Lieyuan just smiled and said nothing.

Pei Xiaoran thought for a while, and was a little unsure, but he still said:
"The reason why His Highness is willing to tell me before I leave, is it... that he is afraid that I will take revenge?"

That murderer was very powerful, if she really wanted to avenge Suzaku's soldiers, she was afraid that before the revenge was done, she would have already been sent to the west.

So, His Royal Highness Li Wang is... thinking of her?
Baili Lieyuan coughed lightly, neither admitted nor denied, just stood up and said:
"It's getting late, you should go to bed early, it's time for me to go back."

Pei Xiaoran looked at his back as he was walking towards the door, touched his chin thoughtfully.

Before dawn on the second day, Pei Xiaoran had already gotten up, washed up and prepared to go down the mountain with the small baggage that he had packed long ago.

Unexpectedly, Baili Lieyuan also got up early and sent someone over to invite her to have breakfast together.

Probably because Pei Xiaoran was leaving soon, and he could no longer pester her brother anymore, so this time Baili Yunian did not stop her brother from meeting Pei Xiaoran.

Of course, the more important reason is that Her Royal Highness, who always loves to sleep late, hasn't had time to get up yet.

The breakfast is quite rich, and the taste is light, it is most suitable for eating in the morning when you have no appetite.

Pei Xiaoran sat down at the table, looked at the table full of delicacies, and knew that the daily breakfast in the palace was not ready now, probably Baili Lieyuan specially ordered the kitchen staff to prepare it earlier.

Although because of the events in his previous life, he has never had a good impression of this person, but in some matters, Pei Xiaoran has to admit that this His Royal Highness Li Wang is very good at touching people's hearts.

Seeing Pei Xiaoran take a seat, the maidservant at the side immediately served Pei Xiaoran a bowl of sweet almond and white fungus soup, and put a wish roll on a jade plate in front of her, and then stepped aside with her hands down.

Pei Xiaoran looked left and right, and seeing that Doctor Tao was not there, he couldn't help but have a better appetite. He picked up the wishful roll and took a bite, then scooped up a spoonful of white fungus soup and stuffed it into his mouth, and began to eat happily.

Baili Lieyuan likes to watch her eat the most. The kind of heartfelt happiness and enjoyment always makes people think that what she is eating is some kind of rare delicacy in the world, and her appetite is aroused unconsciously.

His Royal Highness Li Wang, who originally didn't want to eat anything because he got up too early, also picked up the silver chopsticks and started eating breakfast slowly.

It was rare for the two of them to have a quiet breakfast, and as soon as they put down their chopsticks, Doctor Tao appeared at the door.

Doctor Tao felt that he had woken up early enough, but he didn't expect the two of them to wake up earlier, and even finished their breakfast together, so his expression darkened.

Pei Xiaoran was glad that he had finished eating, otherwise, seeing this person, no matter how good his appetite was, he might lose his appetite.

She touched her full stomach and stood up, and greeted the people with a smile:
"Good morning, Doctor Tao~"

With Baili Lieyuan around, Doctor Tao couldn't make a bad face, so he just nodded to her reluctantly, which was regarded as a greeting.

Baili Lieyuan didn't even look at Doctor Tao, but said to Pei Xiaoran:

"Let's go, I will take you down the mountain."

Pei Xiaoran didn't refuse either, and the two walked towards the door one after the other.

Seeing this, Doctor Tao gritted his teeth secretly, and quickly followed.

The way down the mountain was a bit long, but Baili Lieyuan didn't take the carriage, but walked slowly down the mountain with Pei Xiaoran.

Parting is imminent, even though I know that I will definitely see this little thing again in the future, I feel some reluctance and melancholy in my heart for no reason.

So try to stay with her as long as possible.
