Chapter 79 The Sudden Search Frightens Ning Xueyan (1/2)

Of course, Ning Xueyan also knew that Prince Yi had never been reasonable.

”Just this one.” Seeing Ning Xueyan going out, Ao Chenyi hummed softly and knocked on the tea table while speaking.

”Your Highness, I've used it!” Ning Xueyan was speechless. She turned around and spoke with a very sincere attitude.

”I don't care!” Ao Chenyi said lazily. Looking at her delicate face and slightly depressed look, Ao Chenyi narrowed his eyes slightly and felt somewhat comfortable, his depression fading away.

”But I care!” It was a pity that Ning Xueyan could only say that in her mind. Ao Chenyi would not listen to her words.

Being stared at by him, Ning Xueyan could not say ”no”.

After pausing, Ning Xueyan turned, went over to the table, and poured some water into the cup. Then, she put down the teapot, pushed the tea to Ao Chenyi, and watched him stretch out his slender hand with elegance and laziness as he picked up the cup, drank the tea, and laid down the cup leisurely.

Suddenly, there was the sound of quick footsteps outside the door, followed by Lanning's voice. ”Young Lady, Young Lady!”

”What's going on?” Ning Xueyan asked calmly.

”Madam Dowager's several stewardesses, together with some guards, are coming in at the door. They said they are looking for a burglar. Young Lady, do you need to prepare for it?” Lanning asked carefully

Lanning was clever. Only when Ning Xueyan suddenly let them go out did Lanning know something was bound to happen. So as soon as she found the stewardesses coming, she left Qingyu there to deal with them and returned to report it to Ning Xueyan immediately.

”They are looking for a burglar?” Ning Xueyan looked back, her gaze falling on Ao Chenyi.

”They're looking for me? Or I'll go out to meet them now!” Prince Yi seemed to be in a good mood and asked lazily while raising his eyebrows.

”You wanna go out now? What a shameless thing to say!” Ning Xueyan thought in her mind while gritting her teeth. He could leave Ning Xueyan's room naturally and confidently, but Ning Xueyan's reputation would be ruined after that!

”Lanning, will they check every room?” Ning Xueyan asked Lanning calmly.

”Yes, they said that it was Madam Dowager's order. All of us, including the Young Ladies, must be checked because it's of great importance. They're afraid that the thief is hiding in the house now and will leave at night,” Lanning answered. Although she had just come in a hurry, she still heard what the stewardesses had said to Qingyu.

”Prince Yi, can you go back first?” Ning Xueyan felt embarrassed while looking at Ao Chenyi, who still was lying on Ning Xueyan's bed.

”I can't go out now. What if someone comes in and finds me lying on your bed?” Ao Chenyi said with interest in his eyes, which had always been cold. It seemed that he was very willing to give it a try here.

”In order to please Honored Consort Ya and the Third Prince, Ning Zu'an and Madam Dowager might murder me under the pretext of some special reasons,” Ning Xueyan thought.

If Ao Chenyi was not strong enough to kill her at will, Ning Xueyan would like to kick him out directly. She raised her bright watery eyes, just looking into Ao Chenyi's cold eyes.

It seemed like it had been a long time. Ning Xueyan stepped forward, pushed Ao Chenyi onto the bed, and wrapped him up in the quilt. Then she put down the bed-curtain. After that, she went to the dressing table and pulled out the hairpin on her head at random, her dark hair scattering in an instant.

At this time, Ning Xueyan could not hesitate. Since she could not reason with Ao Chenyi, she could only save herself.

”Lanning, go back and tell those stewardesses that I've been in discomfort since I got back from Madam Dowager's place and I'm resting in bed. Tell them that they can come in, but the guards are not allowed to come in. Otherwise, I'll commit suicide if my reputation is ruined. At that time, they'll also get into trouble.”

After doing all that, Ning Xueyan resolutely got into bed. After thinking for a moment, she took off her coat and threw it on the screen, then she sat down on the bed and lay down.

No matter what Ao Chenyi did in Lord Protector's Manor, he could not be found here at this time. Otherwise, Ning Xueyan's reputation would be completely destroyed.
