Chapter 249 - Rendezvous, Another Rendezvous (1/2)

Mo Xuetong slightly knitted her brows. “Who is he?” In her memory, the Empress Dowager didn’t seem to have such a man worthy of that much of effort. She even killed her royal descendants for him. One and another names popped into her mind, he was…

A familiar voice rang below, slightly quivering with excitement. “Brother Zhen, you’re finally back.”

Mo Xuetong’s body wavered, which instantly made her come to her senses. She gently pushed Feng Yuran, but only saw his bright eyes s.h.i.+ning, like the stars in the sky. He drew his slender fingers to his lips to shush her. She immediately understood him, leaned on the rooftop, and looked through the place where he lifted a tile.

As expected, they were w.a.n.g Xiuxiu and a man Mo Xuetong had never seen before. Though clad in normal brocade clothes, the man looked tall and handsome.

w.a.n.g Xiuxiu wanted to secretly meet someone so she used Mo Xuetong to attract people’s attention? However, who was this man? Mo Xuetong had never seen him in the capital!

Shouldn’t she stay quiet before a rendezvous? How did she dare to make such a fuss? Of course, the fuss might have been out of her control. Nevertheless, Mo Xuetong could see that w.a.n.g Xiuxiu’s meeting this time was different than those usual ones. w.a.n.g Xiuxiu didn’t fear that her secret meeting would be exposed. Instead, she first found someone who could prove that she was in the tea concession stand at that time.

Mo Xuetong was the accidental woman in w.a.n.g Xiuxiu’s plan. She raised her lips in a cold smile.

The man’s eyes were full of tenderness, as if they were slim willow branches swaying in the spring breeze, carrying enormous feelings and affection.

w.a.n.g Xiuxiu’s face blushed and affection filled her eyes. He fixed her eyes on the man and seemed unable to take them off him.

The man gently held her in his arms. “When can I have you forever and not have to leave you?” Her voice carried a kind of melancholy and sadness hard to describe. Lifting his hand, he lightly stroked w.a.n.g Xiuxiu’s hair and patted her shoulder with a slightly sorrowful face. “It must be hard for you.”

w.a.n.g Xiuxiu looked up and tenderness filled her eyes. In tears, she repeated it again and again. “Brother Zhen, it’s not, it’s not hard for me at all. As long as you can come back and be with me forever, it’s not hard at all.” All those previous hards.h.i.+ps and faltering all melted before the man’s affection.

At that time, she felt she was even willing to pay him back with her life.

The man’s handsome face looked in a dilemma and his voice sounded slightly sad. His caring eyes fell on her face warmly as if she were the thing he treasured the most. “Xiuxiu, when I come back, I’ll marry you and share my glory with you. You’re a girl and should attend to my affairs. I’m so weak and useless that I couldn’t give you the best.”

w.a.n.g Xiuxiu was moved to tears, held the man’s waist, and placed her head against his chest. “No, Brother Zhen, you’re the best. I believe you’ll come back soon and be with me. I’m willing to even if I have to die for it.”

Only the two on the rooftop noticed the man’s eyes flashed with a trace of smugness.

The man should not be serious with w.a.n.g Xiuxiu! Mo Xuetong looked up at Feng Yuran in surprise, only to find him smiling lazily and attractively. He raised his brows at her and blinked toward the two below, seeming to tell her to keep watching and he’d tell her the inside story later.

Mo Xuetong rolled her eyes at him and turned back to keep watching the two below.

With her shrewdness, w.a.n.g Xiuxiu should have been tricked. The man’s acting skill was perfect.

Because she had been moved to tears, after a long while, w.a.n.g Xiuxiu finally snuffled and said, her voice husky but somewhat vicious. “Brother Zhen, I used your shadow guard just now. Has anyone found out?”

A trace of anger flashed across the man’s eyes, but he still managed to lower his voice and gently said, “Who’s that woman? Didn’t you say you only needed a witness? How come you caused such a fuss and even lit up the concession stand? What if you’re hurt?”

w.a.n.g Xiuxiu felt even more touched, thinking that she would do anything for this man, and she only wanted to be with him in her lifetime. However, she knew now it was no time for confessing her love. Thus, holding his waist, she looked serious and said, “That woman is the newly-elected lord mayor’s daughter. I wanted her to be my witness. If someone asks, I’ll say that I was with her and separated because of a disagreement.”

w.a.n.g Xiuxiu calmly a.n.a.lyzed. “But I didn’t know she was so smart. She should doubt my intention. If she tells her father about this later, you might be exposed. You secretly entered the capital and you can’t get into any danger. So I made your shadow guard a.s.sa.s.sinate her. Anyway, it was in a mess and a fire. No one would notice even if she died there, and they wouldn’t relate it to you at all.”

On top of the rooftop, Mo Xuetong had nervous sweat hearing this. “w.a.n.g Xiuxiu should think about a.s.sa.s.sinating me in such a short time. She’s even crueler than a man.”

Maybe feeling Mo Xuetong’s scare, Feng Yuran slightly tightened his grip on her hands. Then, Mo Xuetong realized Feng Yuran was still holding her hands without manners. However, under such circ.u.mstances, she couldn’t make a sound to argue. She had more important matters to attend to. She started to realize the ident.i.ty of the man below.

She had to hear more so she glared at Feng Yuran and directly averted her eyes from his smile which looked like he had run into a gold ingot. She really didn’t know why he felt happy and his lips had been raised all the time since him sitting on the rooftop.

Feng Yuran felt wronged because of the stare. He was just trying to comfort her, but why did she glare at him? Luckily, her warm and soft hands were still there, which made the corner of his lips raise in a smile again. However, when he turned around to look down, the smile carried more grimness and chilliness.

The man didn’t seem to have guessed Mo Xuetong’s ident.i.ty and asked in surprise, “The daughter of Mo Huawen and the first miss of Fu General?”
