Chapter 746 Abducted on the Way
At the moment, only Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu were left in the carriage.
Seeing that the nuisances had left, Long Tianyu looked relaxed.
Nevertheless, noticing that Lin Mengya seemed to be very concerned about this, he asked jealously, “You have little interest in meddling in others’ business, don’t you?”
Hearing his question, Lin Mengya said with a sweet smile, “Of course I have little interest in meddling in others’ business. But since we and Hou Yuetian are on the same boat, I’m afraid it’s too late to distance ourselves from him now.”
Then she picked up the milk tea which Long Tianyu specially made for her and contained a lot of milk and syrup.
Since Long Tianyu discovered that her taste was declining, he and Qinghu had tried every means to nourish her.
Sometimes, she was grateful to the poison that had been afflicting her. Otherwise, she would have been fattened up.
“You’re quite sharp-eyed. You noticed that too?” Long Tianyu asked.
Seeing Lin Mengya nod helplessly, Long Tianyu felt his heart skipped a beat.
After all, he and Qinghu had hidden plenty of things from Lin Mengya.
However, seeing that Lin Mengya did not intend to question him, he pretended as if nothing had happened with the worried look in his eyes gone.
“I just found we have been stalked by some spies. They do a bad job and should at least make more efforts to disguise themselves. Speaking of which, they are even less professional than the spies sent by your father,” Lin Mengya said.
Long Tianyu agreed with her. Only excellent spies or secret agents, who had received special training, could hide themselves without being discovered.
Every aristocratic family might have hired a few spies or secret agents.
But there were only a limited number of such talents even in the army.
A large-scale monitoring operation required a lot of spies, and they would inevitably show some flaws.
Not to mention Lin Mengya, any member of their caravan with normal vision would be able to tell that something was amiss after looking carefully.
She didn’t know whether the spies, whose operation was poorly-conceived, came to watch Lin Mengya’s caravan or to give themselves away.
“If you find them annoying, I’ll get rid of them all,” Long Tianyu said.
He, who had never taken anyone other than Lin Mengya seriously, spoke casually as if talking about killing flies.
Shaking her head, Lin Mengya drank the cup of calorie-laden milk tea and said with a smile, “Let it be. We’d better be good in a foreign country so as not to cause Mr. Hou trouble. Why hasn’t Qinghu come back yet? I would like to know what kind of ravishing woman could make Mr. Hou lose his composure!”
Long Tianyu was fascinated by Lin Mengya’s interested look.
He gently adjusted her long hair with his hand, thinking since they returned to the Capital City from the Nation of Lintian, he seemed to have rarely seen her so lively and playful.
After all, she was still a woman less than 20 years old.
But her life became heavy as she stepped into his life.
As he thought, he took her cool and tender hand and held it tightly, wanting to exert all his strength but afraid that she would be hurt.
Their fingers were interlaced like their connected hearts.
She was all he could see with his deep eyes.
“Ya’er, in fact, I want to live a carefree life with you,” he said.
Taken aback for a moment, she said with a smile, “Don’t be silly. Could it be possible for us to live an idle life in seclusion like those hermits?”
Lin Mengya tilted her head, thinking that Long Tianyu was joking with her.
But Long Tianyu stared at her seriously and seemed to mean it.
He said, “If you like it, why not?”
Her heart trembled slightly. In fact, this had also been her dream.
However…
She lowered her head and saw their fingers were interlaced unconsciously.
Ever since she married into Prince Yu’s Mansion, their fates had entangled with each other
If she were just an ordinary woman, she could give up everything and live in seclusion with him even at the cost of bearing the name femme fatale.
Unfortunately, she was not.
She said, “I know you dote on me, but this is our fate. Long Tianyu, you don’t need to give up so many things for me. As a couple, we should go through thick and thin together. If I let you give up everything for my pleasure, I will be too selfish, won’t I?”
Lin Mengya took his hand, nestled in his arms, and smelled the scent of medicine he got from her as she continued saying, “I love you, but it does not mean that I want you to give up everything for me. I know you are willing to do that, so why can’t I go through everything with you? You’re born to be a prince, while I’ve been following in my mother’s footsteps since I was born. Since our fates are sealed, let’s face them. As long as I’m with you, I shall not live in vain even if I have to die.”
Holding her tightly and resting face down on Lin Mengya’s shoulder, Long Tianyu felt that she had totally won his heart.
Why could she always say such touching words to him?
Nevertheless, Lin Mengya had never indulged in empty talk and had made elaborate schemes for him without thinking about herself.
He wished that he could grow old with her right now and never be apart from her.
