Ling Xiao's expression was uneasy, his originally dark face became even darker, like a dark cloud, almost dripping water.
Jiujiu's heart skipped a beat, and she secretly cried out 'not good'.
She was only thinking about the Gong Prince's shop, and in order to strengthen their relationship, she drank and made merry with the Gong Prince, but forgot about Ling Xiao's existence.
Looking at Ling Xiao's gloomy expression, Jiujiu's mind raced, trying to find a solution.
Ling Xiao stepped towards Jiujiu.
Jiujiu subconsciously took a step back. Seeing Jiujiu take half a step back, Ling Xiao was directly angered by Jiujiu.
She still knows fear?
Ling Xiao's face was calm, looking at Jiujiu, "Still not coming."
Jiujiu shrank back, looking at Ling Xiao with a cowardly expression, muttering in a low voice, "If I go over, you're not allowed to hit me."
"When did I say I was going to hit you?"
Jiujiu curled her lips, "Your face is so ugly, how do I know if I'll hit you or not?"
She was obviously scared by him, but when she refuted, her mouth was very nimble.
She was obviously scared on the outside, but not scared on the inside.
Ling Xiao suddenly took a big step forward, like an eagle catching a little chicken, he grabbed Jiujiu's collar, and pinched Jiujiu in his hand.
Jiujiu didn't have time to react, she only felt the world spinning, and Jiujiu was sitting on the horse's back.
"Hyah ~"
The horse suddenly moved forward, Jiujiu's body leaned back, and in an instant, she bumped into Ling Xiao's broad chest.
Ling Xiao's chest was very wide, because he practiced martial arts, his chest muscles were extremely developed, even through the not very thin clothes, she could still feel the outline of his chest muscles.
Her ears were filled with the sound of the wind, and her nose was filled with the clear scent of Ling Xiao's body. It was like the suburbs in the early morning, the dew mixed with the smell of grass, very pleasant.
After Jiujiu regained her senses, she immediately asked, "Where are you taking me?"
Ling Xiao's legs clamped tightly around the horse's abdomen. The long whip made a 'piu ~' sound, and the horse sped up along with Ling Xiao's movements.
As Ling Xiao steered the horse towards the outskirts, he said, "Weren't you very bold when you talked back just now? Why are you so timid now? "
"Times have changed."
Just now, when she was on the streets, she was sure that Ling Xiao wouldn't do anything to her. But now, she was riding on Ling Xiao's horse towards an unknown place. How could she know what Ling Xiao wanted to do to her? Naturally, they would panic.
"You also know that times have changed." Ling Xiao took the time to look at Jiujiu, who was sitting on his chest.
Because of the cold wind, Jiujiu's cheeks and ears were unnaturally red. Her nose bridge was high and the tip of her nose was also bright red, making Ling Xiao think of the snowman he and his family had built when he was young.
That snowman was really beautiful.
Her body and head were made of white snow, her cheeks were bright red, her nose was made of carrots, and her eyes were made of obsidian from his grandmother's house.
Wasn't that snowman exactly the same as Jiujiu now?
"Neigh ~"
Ling Xiao let out a long whistle and tightened his grip on the reins.
Because of Ling Xiao's sudden stop, the horse's front legs were raised high.
Jiujiu was frightened by the sudden change and quickly grabbed Ling Xiao's arm.
Ling Xiao flipped off the horse and stood below it. He raised his hand and looked at Jiujiu.
Jiujiu looked at the villa in front of her and frowned. But she still put her hand in Ling Xiao's hand and flipped off the horse.
Jiujiu stood on the ground and pulled her hand out of Ling Xiao's hand.
Ling Xiao held Jiujiu's arm and the back of her hand and rubbed his fingers in his palm.
The softness of Jiujiu's hand when Ling Xiao's hand touched Jiujiu's seemed to still remain in his palm.
Jiujiu stood beside Ling Xiao and looked at the villa with the words' Green Willow Heights' written on it. She tilted her head and looked at Ling Xiao. "Where is this?"
Ling Xiao lowered his head and looked at Jiujiu.
Jiujiu's face didn't have the same cowardice as before. She looked at her villa curiously.
Jiujiu's eyes didn't have the drunken haze of a drunk person. Instead, they sparkled like the stars in the sky, bright and dazzling.
"This is my villa."
"Why did you bring me here?" Jiujiu turned to look at Ling Xiao. She didn't understand why Ling Xiao brought her to his villa.
Thinking of the reason he brought Jiujiu here, Ling Xiao clenched his hand into a fist and coughed softly. "I want to ask you to do me a small favor."
"Help you?" Jiujiu was puzzled. "General is above everyone else and is deeply favored by His Majesty. Why would he need my help? General, don't make fun of me. "
Less than half a month after Ling Xiao returned to the capital, His Majesty would reward him with countless rare treasures every day. Some time ago, there were rumors in the streets that His Majesty wanted Ling Xiao to choose one of his princesses.
Normally, when a princess got married, the princess would choose the husband. Whichever one she liked, His Majesty would bestow marriage to them.
But when it came to Ling Xiao, it became His Majesty bestow marriage to whichever princess Ling Xiao liked.
The emperor selected the women from the commoners, but Ling Xiao chose the one he liked from the princesses. This honor was unprecedented and would not be repeated in the future.
Hearing Jiujiu say that he was deeply favored by His Majesty, Ling Xiao was a little speechless.
He really was deeply trusted by His Majesty, but this trust was too heavy.
Because His Majesty didn't see His Majesty's father for the last time when he passed away, His Majesty poured all of His Majesty's affection for Ling Xiao.
Especially when Ling Xiao hadn't settled down yet at the age of thirty, His Majesty was even more worried.
A few days ago, His Majesty only asked Ling Xiao to choose one of his princesses. Yesterday, His Majesty directly took out a stack of portraits of the young ladies of the prime minister's family.
Slim and plump, charming and delicate, everything was there.
His Majesty stroked Ling Xiao's beard and said to Ling Xiao, "Ling Xiao ah, these were all drawn by the most famous artists of the current dynasty. Secretly, do you see any that you like?"
Ling Xiao almost braced himself and thanked His Majesty for His Majesty's good intentions.
At that time, His Majesty didn't get angry, but Ling Xiao felt that even though His Majesty didn't get angry, it was obvious that His Majesty didn't give up. He was afraid that His Majesty would find other ways to matchmake him in the future.
Ling Xiao was already 'old'. No matter who he married, he would delay the other party's life.
No matter if he was a widow or a living widow, he didn't want to delay the other party.
Looking at His Majesty's appearance, it was obvious that His Majesty would find other ways to get him married. Rather than letting His Majesty continue like this, it was better for him to take the initiative and make His Majesty give up.
Ling Xiao looked at Jiujiu and told her what he was thinking.
Hearing Ling Xiao ask her to pretend to be his sweetheart, Jiujiu was dumbfounded.
Even though she wanted to be with Ling Xiao, pretending to be his sweetheart to deceive His Majesty was clearly not her original intention.
Moreover, if she really agreed to Ling Xiao's proposal and he gave her compensation, the two of them would have a clear relationship in the future. It would be difficult for her to make any progress with Ling Xiao.
Jiujiu rejected Ling Xiao without hesitation and then said, "The compensation that General gives is really tempting, but Lin Wan is only a commoner. I really don't have the guts to deceive His Majesty. General should find someone else."
