Chapter 416: Guarding for One Night
Only Ruan Jue knew her nickname, and he had never called her by anyone else. How did Fu Ling know it?
With her interruption, the wonderful atmosphere of the confession was gone.
But at the same time, Fu Ling's nervousness about being rejected by her also disappeared.
The two bodies were very close to each other.
Their breaths entangled together, the atmosphere heated up, Fu Ling lowered his eyes and looked at her, an imperceptible curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his Adam's apple rolled.
"Then you must first promise me that you will not go with him tomorrow."
Ruan Xihe heard this and did not ask any more questions.
He actually learned to negotiate conditions with her. Did he understand clearly that he was confessing his love to her now and the decision was in her hands!
Ruan Xihe withdrew his hand, crossed his arms, and glanced at him, "Fu Ling, I'm going to tell you a secret, do you want to hear it?"
"You said."
"Actually, I seemed to have fallen in love with you some time ago, but you denied it again and again, which hurt my heart and made me dare not like you anymore."
Fu Ling was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
He looked as if struck by thunder. His sword-like eyebrows, as thick as ink, trembled slightly and he looked at Ruan Xihe silently.
He opened his mouth, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"Then tomorrow..."
"Hmph." Ruan Xihe retracted his gaze, "Let me think about it."
After saying that, Ruan Xihe slammed the door shut.
Fu Ling was left alone outside the door, doubting his life. He was thinking about what she meant.
Could it be that she really has fallen in love with me a long time ago?
He was reflecting, feeling regretful, and blaming himself.
If I could have discovered her feelings earlier, or expressed my inner thoughts earlier, would the current situation be different...
......
The next day.
Ruan Xihe slept until he woke up naturally.
She felt very happy. After getting up and opening the door, she saw a person sitting in the yard. The stone table in her yard was full of food...
"woke up?"
When Fu Ling heard the door open, he turned around to look.
After seeing Ruan Xihe coming out, he took the empty porcelain bowl beside him and started to serve porridge for her.
Ruan Xihe suspected that he had seen it wrong.
She rubbed her eyes, made sure she was not hallucinating, then walked over and sat down.
"Fu Ling, you won't stay in my yard all night, will you?"
Fu Ling's hand holding the porridge paused for a moment.
He was indeed afraid that she would leave with Huayu, so he stayed in the yard all night until dawn, and then asked Wuying in Juxian Tower to bring breakfast...
He placed the porridge next to her hand and said, "Don't talk while eating."
"eat first."
Ruan Xihe shook his head and pushed the porridge forward, "I don't want to eat it."
“Skipping breakfast is bad for your health…”
"Fu Ling, why are you suddenly as long-winded as my father?" Ruan Xihe looked at him with a smile, "Besides, I haven't finished what I want to say."
"I just don't want to eat porridge, but I didn't say I don't want to eat anything else."
Fu Ling: “…”
Careless.
After she had almost finished eating, Fu Ling said, "So what will you do today..."
"Are you still going to Lingyue Country?"
Ruan Xihe did not answer his question directly, but asked: "Where is Ruan Yi?"
"He is in Juxian Tower, with Wuying."
"Fu Ling, I dreamed about my father and grandfather last night. Maybe they missed me, so I thought I should go home today... Hey? What are you doing..."
Before Ruan Xihe could finish her words, Fu Ling grabbed her waist and carried her into the air.
The two of them instantly reached a high altitude, and her yard gradually turned into a small dot. Ruan Xihe subconsciously grabbed his clothes.
"Didn't you say you were going home?" Fu Ling explained without a trace of guilt.
Naturally, the faster he acts, the better.
What if he was slow and the so-called Huayu came to find her, and she changed her mind at the last minute?
Not long after they left, Jing Lian came to find Ruan Xihe.
He knocked on the door, but no one answered.
I can only give up.
...
Fu Ling brought Ruan Xihe to Juxian Tower and met Ruan Yi.
Although Ruan Yi didn't talk much, he naturally had a lot to say since they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
But due to Fu Ling's close gaze, Ruan Yi forced himself to suppress his excitement.
After a brief chat, Fu Ling asked Wuqing to wait here.
With a simple stroke of his finger, a crack appeared out of thin air. After he and the two stepped into the crack, the crack slowly closed.
at the same time.
Purple Sorrow Country.
Ruan Mansion and He Garden.
The figure in the dark robe was holding a red figure on his side, while his other hand was holding another black figure.
Three figures appeared out of nowhere in a room, alerting the secret guards in the dark.
But when these secret guards quietly approached them, they realized that it was the aura of their own emperor, so they quickly retreated in secret.
But these actions naturally did not escape Ruan Xihe's perception.
After landing, she withdrew from Fu Ling's arms without leaving a trace, "Have you arranged some personnel in the mansion?"
"Yeah." Fu Ling curled his fingers, as if he didn't want the warmth left on her fingertips to flow away. "It's just to protect the safety of the people in the mansion. There's no other meaning."
"Of course, if you don't like it..."
"I don't dislike it." Ruan Xihe shook his head, looked at him, and said word by word, "Fu Ling, thank you."
She was afraid that the Ruan family would be implicated because of her.
She was afraid that the Ruan Mansion would become a means for others to threaten her.
That's why she set up a simple formation in her mansion when she left home to deal with other people's surprise attacks.
But how could one stay in the mansion all his life?
There are always people in the mansion who are out and she can't take care of them, so she asked Mr. Xu from the black market to help her look after them.
But she didn't expect that Fu Ling secretly sent someone to protect her family.
"No need to thank me." Fu Ling's eyes moved slightly, and he spoke seriously, as if all this was his responsibility.
He paused, turned his face away, and a blush crept up on the tips of his ears.
He opened his lips slightly, "If you really want to thank me, then consider what I said. You can try to like it..."
"Cough cough!"
Ruan Xihe coughed twice, interrupting his unfinished words.
"Your Majesty, you didn't drink any alcohol this morning, so why are you talking nonsense?" She glared at Fu Ling and signaled to him with her eyes that Ruan Yi was here.
Ruan Yi scratched his head awkwardly.
He grew up in a slavery, so reading people's expressions and acting accordingly was an essential skill for him.
So even if he was slow-witted, he could still sense that there was something subtle about the relationship between Ruan Xihe and Fu Ling.
"Well, sister, Emperor, I'll go find the silver ring first..." While speaking, he took small steps to retreat.
"Wait." Ruan Xihe walked over, touched Ruan Yi's head, and took his hand, "Let's go together."
