Chapter 482 - Worried For Helian Wei Wei (2/2)

The next day, when Helian Wei Wei woke up, she noticed how clear and innocent the face was. She was just about to move but she got pinned down by the extended arm.

“Sleep a little more.” Baili Jia Jue still had his eyes closed and his voice was a little husky from just waking up.

Helian Wei Wei glanced outside. “No, I have to get up first. I want to go take a look at the water extraction device.”

“The shadow guards are there, no one will dare to get any closer.” Baili Jia Jue knew that his little pet would sometimes be restless, so he simply held down her paws and slid his other hand into her clothes.

Helian Wei Wei went numb and fell back onto his chest. Her ears were pinkish as she bit her thin lips and said with a trembling voice, “Not here.”

After all, yamen was a place to handle cases so anyone would enter anytime. Not to mention her ident.i.ty now, someone would bound to be looking for her early in the morning.

Baili Jia Jue also knew that the location was not suitable, so he was not going to do anything to her. He pulled her back into his arms and they both went into a shallow sleep.

The two of them rested for not up to five minutes and a servant was already knocking on the door, “Lord Wei, Lord Wei!”

Helian Wei Wei slightly adjusted her clothing and opened the door after putting on a coat, “What’s wrong, what’s so urgent?”

The servant said in a hurry, “They sent someone from the provincial capital. Magistrate Liao had given the order for all county magistrates to get up early and gather at the Yan Manor.”

“Gather at the Yan Manor?” Helian Wei Wei’s fingers stopped in the middle of tying her coat and the corner of her mouth lifted. “Alright, you may leave for now.”

The servant answered “yes” with his eyes down and with that, he vaguely saw the figure of Private Advisor Long in the room. He muttered without hesitation, “Lord Wei, your relations.h.i.+p with Private Advisor Long looks pretty good. He is already here waiting in your room so early in the morning.”

Baili Jia Jue listened to everything with ease, then he extended his arms from the back and took over the b.u.t.toning task from Helian Wei Wei. “As a recognized private advisor, I should be the one doing this kind of work.”

Both of them were facing the bronze mirror and his breaths were just beside her ear. Helian Wei Wei felt numb everywhere. She did not want to move around because if she did and touched anything, she would be late.

It took quite a while for His Highness to finish b.u.t.toning her clothes up. There was a sneer on his thin lips. “Your expression right there, definitely means that you’re annoyed because we did not continue on.”

Helian Wei Wei was rendered speechless.

When did she get annoyed?

His Highness must be imagining things again; they were not on the same frequency since the beginning!

“I’ll compensate for everything once we’re back to the palace.” Baili Jia Jue bent a little to kiss her ear and the tip of his tongue slightly brushed her skin.

Helian Wei Wei shuddered and fell into his arms as if she was electrocuted like a prawn.

Baili Jia Jue grinned naughtily, “Are you going to come onto me by yourself?”

Helian Wei Wei’s heart skipped as she looked at his sly smile. The feeling of blissfulness rose, she guessed that was how it felt like to be fond of someone more and more. Although this person was so unreasonable until an almost unbelievable level, she would be grinning along as she saw those smiling eyes.

After breakfast, the officials from the provincial capital entered the Yan Manor alongside the county magistrates.

As if wanting to boast about his social network, Magistrate Liao was talking and laughing with the officials from the provincial capital along the way. This event led the commoners who were fixing the roads to have hope, and therefore they started to discuss it with each other.

Liu Yin and Old Man Liu were eavesdropping while their eyes were on Helian Wei Wei. They could not help but worry…
