Good Pregnancy Quick Transmigration: The Overly Charming CEO with No Heirs
Chapter 418 Hiding a "Beloved" in a Golden House 18
To evade capture, the group traveled for a day and a night, finally stopping to rest in front of an abandoned wooden cabin deep in the mountains on the evening of the second day.
An Yi instructed the others to keep watch around the area, while Xiao Mei automatically avoided them, preparing to go and see if there were any wild vegetables nearby.
Xi Yao dismounted from the horse, her toes barely touching the ground when her legs suddenly went weak.
Han Yunzhao quickly grabbed her arm: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, my legs are just numb." Xi Yao sighed softly. "Sigh, riding a horse really isn't a comfortable thing."
She felt like her bones were about to shatter.
Han Yunzhao paused slightly, hesitated for a moment, then bent down and picked her up horizontally.
Xi Yao let out a soft "Ah," and subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck.
"you……"
"I'll take you inside to rest first," Han Yunzhao said casually.
Of course, that's assuming you ignore his reddish earrings.
Xi Yao smiled, pursing her lips, without exposing his lie.
The wooden house is small, just one room, barely enough to keep out the wind.
An Yi brought in some dry grass from outside, spread it out, and then silently withdrew.
Han Yunzhao placed Xiyao on the dry grass, then turned around and dismantled the broken door to use as firewood.
Xi Yao sat there, watching him squat down and start a fire with a tinderbox.
"Han Yunzhao," she suddenly said.
"Hmm?" He didn't turn around, focusing intently on wrestling with the unruly pile of firewood.
Why did you insist on going back to find me?
Han Yunzhao's hand stopped.
The fire finally lit up, its warm orange light casting a flickering glow on his profile.
"There's no reason why, I just want to go back to you."
Xi Yao raised an eyebrow at him: "There has to be a reason, right?"
Han Yunzhao stood up and turned around, his gaze falling on her face for a moment.
"Do you really have to listen?"
"Yes, listen."
He remained silent for a moment, as if considering his words.
"Because you're there." His voice was low. "I want you to be well, I want to take you away from the capital, and I want you to live a happy and joyful life."
Instead of staying in that cage-like mansion, where there was no respect and no one cared about him.
Xi Yao blinked. "That's all?"
Han Yunzhao didn't answer, but turned around and took out a dry biscuit from his bundle, handing it to her:
"Eat something to tide us over, An Yi and the others will be back from hunting."
Xi Yao took the dry biscuit, took a bite, chewed it a couple of times, and then suddenly chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?" Han Yunzhao asked.
"Some people are really cowardly; they clearly have other reasons, but they just don't dare to say them."
Han Yunzhao's ears turned completely red.
With his back to Xi Yao, he said in a muffled voice, "I...I didn't."
"Nothing? Nothing you're afraid to say? Or is there no other reason?"
The firewood in the bonfire crackled and popped, as if echoing her words.
Han Yunzhao took a deep breath and turned around.
He walked over, looking down at Xi Yao with a serious expression in his eyes.
"Yaoyao, I just didn't want to be abrupt with you, and I didn't want to scare you."
We haven't known each other for long. If I were to tell you directly that it's because I like you—no, I love you—and want to marry you for all eternity, you definitely wouldn't believe me. But…”
"I believe you." Xi Yao interrupted him. "Han Yunzhao, I believe you. Have you forgotten that I told you from the very beginning that I had my eye on you, which is why I saved you?"
Han Yunzhao thought of what she had said when they first met, and the redness from her earrings spread across her entire cheek.
He didn't speak, then turned and walked away in silence.
"Why are you running?" Xi Yao grabbed his hand, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Why are you always so easily embarrassed, you big man?"
"Yaoyao..."
"I've already divorced Xue Pingzhi, so you don't have any reservations now, right?"
Han Yunzhao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms.
The movements were somewhat hasty, even appearing a bit clumsy.
"I had no reservations, it's just..."
But in that situation, he was afraid that she would be gossiped about behind her back.
He would rather suffer himself than let her suffer any injustice.
Han Yunzhao lowered his head, his forehead touching hers, his breathing slightly erratic.
"Yao Yao." His voice was a little hoarse.
"Um."
Do you like me too?
Xi Yao smiled and said, "Yes, I fell in love with you at first sight. Do you believe me?"
"I believe you!"
Han Yunzhao hugged her even tighter.
At that moment, he felt that everything was perfect.
The person he loved also loved him.
What could be better than this?
The firelight outside the window cast two overlapping shadows on the two people.
……
The journey then took a different turn.
Anyone with eyes can see that the relationship between the two has changed.
After Xiaomei discovered this, she stopped going near her master.
After all, someone else does everything for her; if she goes there, wouldn't that just be a disturbance?
Half a month later, they arrived near the border town.
The people chasing after them were long gone.
Han Yunzhao and his men checked into an inn.
night.
Xi Yao lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
"996, are you there?"
[Yes, host. 996 is at your service.]
Xi Yao ignored its mischievousness and asked instead, "Is your boss asleep?"
The two slept separately at the inn.
Unlike before when they were traveling through the mountains and forests, she was always held in Han Yunzhao's arms when they rested at night.
Separating suddenly at this time is a bit unsettling, and I can't sleep at all.
[No, host. Just like you, I'm staring at the ceiling with my eyes open.]
996 flapped its little wings and circled around, then suggested:
[Host, the big boss's room window isn't locked. You can climb through the window to find him and have a baby soon.]
Xi Yao put her hands under her head and snorted, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who climbs through windows?"
996 stared at her speechlessly.
Don't you have any self-awareness?
After a while.
Xi Yao suddenly sat up in bed.
[Host, what are you doing?]
"I'll go check if Yun Zhao is asleep. We have to travel tomorrow, and what if he can't sleep and won't have the energy to ride?"
996: ...
It watched its host's practiced window-climbing movements, and code raced through its electronic eyes.
Those who say they can't climb through windows are more skilled than anyone else.
"Who?!"
Just as Han Yunzhao was about to close his eyes to rest, he heard the noise and suddenly sat up, his eyes sharply fixed on the window.
His eyes widened instantly when he saw the person who jumped in:
"Yaoyao, why are you here?"
Xi Yao closed the window, turned around to brush the dust off her hands, and said as she walked to the bed:
"I'm a little scared to sleep alone, Yunzhao, can I sleep with you?"
996: ...
[Host, could you come up with a better reason? Didn't you sleep alone when you were at the Marquis of Wuxin's residence?]
"How can that be the same?" Xi Yao forced the 996 work culture out of her head. "This is an inn. What if it's a shady establishment? It's too dangerous for a beautiful woman like me to sleep alone!"
【…】
996 broke free from the clutches and locked himself in a dark room.
The host is too shameless; it can't stand it anymore.
