Su Xiaoliu was first taken aback. She wondered how he knew her name. Then she frowned. When had she ever owed him 200 taels of silver?
Chu Weixin saw the blank look on her face and said, "Only you could have ruined my bet and pulled a switcheroo."
Su Xiaoliu suddenly remembered the deal she had made with the betting peddler at the Pingshan Assembly...
But later, she didn't even get the chance to collect the silver before she had to flee with them! Thinking of this, she was filled with anger.
"Do you want to renege?" Chu Weixin watched the changing expressions on her face and felt like teasing her.
Su Xiaoliu glanced at him and said crossly, "Who wants to renege? I've got 200,000 taels of gold!" Although the gold wasn't in her hands at the moment.
Hearing this, Chu Weixin didn't care whether it was true or not. He looked at her sideways and said with a smile, "Did you earn that 200,000 taels by selling yourself?"
Unexpectedly, this remark hit Su Xiaoliu's sore spot. Instead of getting angry as Chu Weixin had expected, she just lowered her head silently and said nothing.
"Are you angry?" Chu Weixin looked down at her and probed.
Su Xiaoliu still didn't say a word. She just stared straight at the bumpy carriage floor.
Chu Weixin pursed his lips. His cold eyes fixed on her and he said, "Don't be angry. I won't ask for the 200 taels. I was just joking with you..."
Su Xiaoliu ignored him.
Seeing her so passive, Chu Weixin got a bit anxious. He scolded himself remorsefully, then reached out and gently touched her shoulder, coaxing softly, "Xiaoliu, I was just joking. Don't be angry. I'll let you punish me. Don't be angry..."
Su Xiaoliu's shoulder moved. Seeing that this worked, Chu Weixin blinked his cold eyes and quickly said with a smile, "Xiaoliu."
Suddenly, Su Xiaoliu unexpectedly grabbed his ear and tugged it hard outward. Laughing, she said, "You said you'd let me punish you!"
Chu Weixin never expected the situation to turn like this. He just stared blankly as she grabbed him. It wasn't until his long hair was tugged and he felt a sharp pain that he regained a bit of his senses.
Su Xiaoliu was extremely proud. Her almond eyes were wide open, her willow eyebrows were raised. Her small nose was as delicate and beautiful as a fruit under the sunlight. Her rosy lips were slightly pouted, glistening...
Chu Weixin stared at her for a while. Suddenly, he came to his senses. He gave her a slightly annoyed look, then curled up a naughty smile. He held her head and flipped over, pinning her down. Before Su Xiaoliu could react, Chu Weixin lowered his head.
Su Xiaoliu only noticed that charming and naughty smile. Then her lips were blocked. He forcefully pressed her body against his own, holding her head tightly as if he wished she could suffocate immediately...
If someone were to lift the curtain of the sedan chair at this moment, they would surely be shocked and faint.
Because the scene at this moment was like two beautiful women entangled with each other. An ordinary person really couldn't stand it...
It was Gu Rongxue yesterday, and now it was Chu Weixin. What was going on?
Su Xiaoliu struggled but to no avail. Frustrated, she finally closed her eyes and pushed him away with all her might. She pushed him so hard that his head hit the back of the carriage. Chu Weixin winced in pain and reached out to rub the back of his head. His brows were slightly furrowed, looking a bit pitiful.
"I told you you're crazy, and you really are!" Su Xiaoliu stood up. Unexpectedly, when she stood up, her head hit the top of the carriage. She also covered her head in pain. Chu Weixin smiled at her. Su Xiaoliu glared at him irritably and said, "You made me so angry!"
Zhong Fengyue lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked forward. The carriage in front where Su Xiaoliu was sitting swayed twice in a row. Under the white veil hat, her red lips pursed slightly and her brows frowned.
"What's going on?" Mo Xin looked up at Zhong Fengyue and asked in confusion.
Zhong Fengyue put down the curtain, looked at Mo Xin, and said politely with a smile, "I'm afraid those two are at it again."
Mo Xin smiled slightly and lowered her eyes. Suddenly, she looked up at Zhong Fengyue and asked softly, "She... still doesn't know who you are?"
Zhong Fengyue was stunned. He knew what she meant. He gave a gentle smile, shook his head, and said, "No, I can't let her know." If his identity were to be exposed, then he probably would never be able to go back.
Mo Xin looked at him, sighed softly, and said in a low voice.
"How could it have come to this..." The last word had already drifted away in the wind.
Not far ahead, suddenly came Su Xiaoliu's angry voice.
"I want to change carriages!"
The two carriages slowly stopped. Su Xiaoliu stomped out of Chu Weixin's carriage angrily and ran straight to the carriage behind where Zhong Fengyue and Mo Xin were.
Seeing Su Xiaoliu like this, Mo Xin looked up at Zhong Fengyue. Sure enough, he had guessed right.
She chuckled and said to Su Xiaoliu, "I'll swap with you. You sit with Young Master Zhong." Then she turned to Chu Weixin, who had just stepped out of the carriage behind Su Xiaoliu, and said, "Doctor, I'll sit with you."
Chu Weixin glanced at Su Xiaoliu. Su Xiaoliu didn't even look back. Inside the carriage, Zhong Fengyue stretched out a hand. Su Xiaoliu placed her hand on it. Zhong Fengyue inside gently pulled, and Su Xiaoliu got into the carriage without even looking at Chu Weixin.
Chu Weixin smiled gently. There was an unfathomable look in his cold eyes. He lowered his head and looked at Mo Xin, saying softly, "Okay, Madam Xiao, please."
After the people in the two carriages swapped, they started moving forward slowly again.
Su Xiaoliu got into Zhong Fengyue's carriage. She took a look at Zhong Fengyue and felt much better.
The numbness on her lips made Su Xiaoliu blush belatedly.
Zhong Fengyue looked up at her and asked in confusion, "Are you not feeling well?"
Su Xiaoliu quickly covered her mouth and shook her head, saying with a smile, "No, no. I just think Young Master Zhong looks much more pleasing to the eye than that effeminate doctor..." She had always been unable to hold back her words, and without realizing it, she had blurted out what was on her mind.
Zhong Fengyue was stunned for a moment, then curled up a faint smile.
Just a gentle smile was so captivating, as if the winter snow was gradually melting and the pear blossoms were just blooming.
Su Xiaoliu couldn't help but be a bit dazed. She thought to herself that if this Young Master Zhong, who was like a demon that had slipped out when the country was about to perish and all the demons were out, were to take off his veil hat, wouldn't he be more beautiful than the number one beauty in the martial arts world?
"It's been tough on you following all the way. If you want to leave, just tell me. I'll find a way to send you back," Zhong Fengyue looked up at Su Xiaoliu and said softly.
Su Xiaoliu blinked her almond eyes, looked at Zhong Fengyue, and curved her lips, saying, "It's okay. I'll just treat it as having some fun." In fact, she was already involved. It wasn't that easy to leave. If she accidentally dragged Zhong Fengyue into trouble, it would really be a pity.
Zhong Fengyue looked at her, who was trying to be brave. He felt a faint pang of heartache. He said with a smile, "There's no such thing as having fun with your life." In fact, it was his fault. In order to hide his identity, he had married her under the guise of being the poorest person. He had originally intended to make her not have any attachment to him and then quietly leave when the time for the Pingshan Assembly came. Who would have thought that he would be the one who got trapped first. Without saying anything else, he couldn't help but feel pity for her.
