Chapter 20 – Fairy Tales Are All Lies (20)
In Xiuyin’s azure eyes, a turbid light flickered, then quickly faded. His hands gently lifted and quietly embraced Yan Luo’s waist, gradually tightening, and his head rested completely on her neck.
His breath pressed down, like an aggrieved child seeking refuge.
Feeling Xiuyin’s body pressing close, Yan Luo couldn’t help but feel a bit distressed.
Xiuyin’s previously hostile aura had completely disappeared, turning him into a mere fifteen or sixteen-year-old child.
“Is it okay now?” His young and clear voice echoed in her ears, gently landing on her earlobe, carrying a hint of questioning and a bit of itchiness.
Yan Luo tilted her head slightly, and the fine golden strands brushed lightly over her neck, carrying the unique scent of the boy.
Then she nodded heavily, patting the boy’s back one by one. “Hmm, it’s okay now.”
Xiuyin’s eyelids drooped slightly, and the corner of his lips twitched slightly. Warmth… was this the feeling of warmth?
Was it something that he could so easily touch… something that he could obtain?
A sound of something breaking came from the side, startling Yan Luo. However, Xiuyin’s grip did not loosen.
“Your Higness Yan Luo, Your Highness the Third Prince, what are you doing?”
This voice caused a slight contraction of Yan Luo’s pupils, but because she was tightly embraced by Xiuyin, she could only reluctantly turn her head to look.
Unsurprisingly, she saw a maid with a pale face.
It was the maid she had encountered before, the one who used to be Andre’s etiquette teacher. Due to the inheritance rule, almost everyone around Andre treated Yan Luo as Andre’s fiancée, thinking that it was already a settled matter.
At this moment, seeing Yan Luo and Xiuyin embracing like this, that attitude was indeed appropriate.
Sensing Yan Luo’s body stiffening slightly, Xiuyin’s smile deepened at the corner of his lips. Then, he loosened his grip slightly. Huh? Scared again?
Since she was scared… why did she provoke someone she shouldn’t have provoked?
But this time, Yan Luo was not really scared, just startled.
What a joke, she had almost guessed the situation when she was found out that she ran away. It just happened faster than she had imagined.
Little Pink : [ I didn’t expect Dear Host to have thought so far?”
Yan Luo : “Of course, of course (￣︶￣)↗“
Little Pink : [ …]
Yan Luo pushed Xiuyin away slightly and turned around decisively.
“I think my freedom shouldn’t be restricted by you. After all, I am residing here as a guest of your country. Although my country is small, it is rich in land and abundant in resources, closely connected with your empire. Is this how Prince Andre treats a guest like me?”
As she finished speaking, the system’s prompt rang in her mind.
[ *Ding*—Xiuyin Ailsrank’s Blackening Value +15, Current Value : (66/100). ]
Yan Luo was slightly stunned, subconsciously turned her head, and happened to see those azure eyes looking at her with a hint of surprise.
The azure was glowing, like a gem, emitting a soft and comfortable light.
[ *Ding*—Xiuyin Ailsrank’s Blackening Value -20, Current Value : (46/100). ]
[ *Ding*—Xiuyin Ailsrank’s Blackening Value -5, Current Value : (41/100). ]
It was evident that the person did not expect Yan Luo, who had always been gentle and docile, to say such words and was also stunned.
Xiuyin came back to his senses, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
