With Shen Xiu 'er by her side, Ye Zhen's days on the road were a little more enjoyable. At least she could tolerate Murong Ke appearing beside her from time to time. Along the way, they did not encounter any danger. It seemed that Bai Ziqi would not come to catch her. As for Qian Luocha, who Ye Zhen had been worried about, she did not even see his shadow. Maybe he did not recognize her.
After walking for a few days, it suddenly snowed heavily, blocking them in an inconspicuous small village. There wasn't even an inn in the village, so they could only borrow two houses from a farmer. One house had a kang bed to keep them warm, while the other house not only didn't have a kang bed, but it also looked very simple and crude.
"You and Xiong 'er can stay in this house." Murong Ke left the house with the kang bed to Ye Zhen. "We may have to stay here for two days. The snow is so heavy that it's not easy to travel. If we can't enter the city within one day, it will be difficult for us to find a place to stay on the way."
"Stay for two days?" Ye Zhen frowned slightly. She still thought that after tonight, they would be able to set off tomorrow.
Murong Ke looked at her eyes. These few days, she often wore a curtain hat, so he could only see half of her face. But because of this, her eyes looked even brighter and more moving. There were even a few times when he looked at her eyes and couldn't come back to his senses.
If he hadn't seen her before, just looking at such a pair of eyes, he would think that she was a great beauty.
"Unless you want to spend the night in a snowy place halfway." Murong Ke whispered, looking at her with bright eyes. "It's not easy to travel in such heavy snow."
Ye Zhen pursed her lips. Although she felt that what he said was reasonable, she just didn't want to stay with him in this strange place for two days.
Murong Ke looked at the unwillingness in her eyes and his mouth slightly tilted. "What's wrong? Are you afraid? "
"What am I afraid of?" Ye Zhen glanced at him. "I'm going back to the house."
"Are you afraid of me?" Murong Ke reached out and grabbed her arm. "Zhenzhen, you have been avoiding me for the past two days."
Ye Zhen resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She avoided him because she didn't want him to see that she was in disguise. It had nothing to do with being afraid of him. She struggled to break free from his hand. "Master Murong, don't think too much."
Murong Ke's long arm pressed against the wall behind her, trapping her in his arms. "If you're not afraid of me, why don't you dare to look at me?"
"Murong Ke!" Ye Zhen looked up at him coldly, "Any woman will be afraid of a man who flirts with her from time to time. If you continue to be like this, we will part ways tomorrow. I will not go to the capital with you." Ye Zhen looked up at him coldly.
"Lu Zhenzhen …" Murong Ke's heart welled up with a feeling he had never felt before. It was as if there were all sorts of ups and downs. His heart was palpitating with excitement. He liked to see her vivid expression when she was angry. How could it be so easy to put a person in his heart? In his twenty-eight years, he had never cared about anyone. This was the first time.
Ye Zhen frowned and looked at him coldly, reaching out to push him away. "Murong Ke, go away."
"What will you do if you can't find your family in the capital?" Her strength was nothing to him. He stood there without moving, still trapping her in his arms.
"It's none of your business!" Ye Zhen glared at him angrily. "Murong Ke, what the hell do you want to do?"
Murong Ke chuckled, his long and narrow eyes flashed with a dark light. When she was unguarded, he bowed his head and pecked her lips. Although it was separated by a veil, he could still feel her soft lips. His heart moved, he just wanted to taste more of her sweetness.
Ye Zhen's cheeks flushed with anger. She raised her hand and slapped him hard. "Bastard!"
"Well, I just want to be a bastard to you." Murong Ke grabbed her wrist and took off her curtain hat. Seeing her panting with anger, his eyes sank. "Zhenzhen, are you in disguise?"
Her disguise was actually very clever. He had never seen it before, but … She was so angry that even her eyes were red, but her cheeks were not red. And her appearance … seemed to have changed a little from when she was on the ship. He, who was also proficient in disguise, could quickly discover the difference.
Murong Ke's eyes flashed with a brilliant light. He reached out to remove the thin layer of disguise on her face.
"Don't touch me!" Ye Zhen shouted. For the first time, she showed panic in front of Murong Ke.
"Why?" Murong Ke's hand stopped beside her temple. He looked down at her with burning eyes.
Ye Zhen secretly decided that she must leave by herself tomorrow. She must never be with this man again.
"Everyone has their own reasons. You and I are just meeting on a narrow road. Why should I tell you my own affairs?" Ye Zhen looked at him coldly and asked.
"Meeting on a narrow road?" Murong Ke chuckled. "Meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins. Have you ever heard of this saying?"
Ye Zhen took a deep breath. "Murong Ke, I already have an engagement."
Murong Ke's face suddenly turned cold. He looked down at her with deep eyes.
"Little Seven!" Ye Zhen took advantage of his absent-mindedness and called out to Little Seven. Because the farmer couple were afraid that Little Seven would eat their sheep and chickens, they could only let Little Seven sleep in the carriage tonight and not let it come to the house.
"Awooo …" Little Seven let out a howl when he heard Ye Zhen's call.
Murong Ke's eyes were cold as he let go of her. "Even if you have an engagement, even if you are married, I don't care."
Little Seven had already come to Ye Zhen's side. His sharp golden eyes stared at Murong Ke.
Ye Zhen glared at him angrily. "You … madman!"
"Zhenzhen, who are you looking for in Dongqing? Looking for your fiancé? "Murong Ke's voice was cold, completely different from his previous gentleness.
"Yes!" Ye Zhen nodded without thinking. She only hoped that she could make Murong Ke retreat. In fact, she didn't feel that he treated her differently on the ship. It was only on the road that she became aware of it.
Murong Ke smiled. "That's even better. I want to go to the capital with you and see your fiancé with my own eyes. You are an orphan girl. I'm afraid that you will be bullied."
Before Ye Zhen could say anything to refuse, Hong Ying's cry suddenly came from the room. "Miss, miss …"
"Little Seven, it's all right. You can go back." Ye Zhen touched Little Seven's head and hurried into the room.
"Miss, what happened to Little Seven?" Hong Ying helplessly pressed Shen Jin 'er's shoulder. Shen Jin' er's whole body was twitching on the kang bed, and her eyes had turned white.
Ye Zhen was shocked. "How did this happen?"
Hong Ying said, "This servant doesn't know. Little Seven wanted to go out to find you, but she became like this when she stood up."
