"If you keep dodging..."
A hint of sensuality tinged Rong Xun's eyes, which were already reddened by desire. His extremely aggressive gaze made her heart race.
In the end, she was conquered in that blazing passion that left one out of control.
After a night of tender intimacy, Tang Youyou woke up with her head resting on the arm of the person beside her. When she reached out and touched his burning chest, she quickly withdrew her hand in fright.
"What's wrong?" Rong Xun slowly opened his eyes, grabbed her withdrawn hand and placed it back on his chest. "At this point, there's no need to be so polite with me."
Tang Youyou blushed at the tips of her ears and tried to pull her hand back, but he held it tightly.
"I'm not being polite. I need to get up. Let go of me quickly."
Tang Youyou was yanked into his arms by this man. She heard him say, "I was very careful last night. Sleep a little longer."
Although she blushed, she still couldn't resist teasing him. "Oh, really? Are you already too tired to go on?"
As soon as she said this, she immediately regretted it. She had shot herself in the foot.
It was not until the sun was high in the sky that Tang Youyou finally emerged from the room.
She rejected Rong Xun's suggestion to have breakfast in the room. If she did, he would surely never let her off.
"Ahem."
When Tie Shou saw her coming downstairs, followed by the pavilion master with an amused look on his face, he immediately pretended to have a sore throat to remind Ye Yue beside him.
"What's wrong?" Ye Yue was a person who didn't understand the subtleties. When he saw Tang Youyou coming down, as if it had become a habit, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "What would you like to eat, Miss Tang?"
Tie Shou slapped his forehead. This guy was truly hopeless.
He had wanted to remind Ye Yue to disappear with him, but unexpectedly, this guy not only failed to understand his intention but even stepped forward. He was really oblivious.
Tang Youyou saw that they were also having breakfast, so she said, "Just order the same as yours."
She didn't look for another table but sat down with Tie Shou and the others.
Seeing the pavilion master sitting down beside her, Tie Shou felt extremely embarrassed and quickly finished the rice in his bowl.
"I'm done eating. You two enjoy your meal slowly. I have some business to attend to. See you later."
Tie Shou didn't want to intrude on their private time. He wasn't as thick - skinned as Ye Yue.
As he went out, he dragged Ye Yue out with him.
After the two of them left the inn, Tie Shou slapped Ye Yue in frustration.
"You! How on earth did you manage to catch the pavilion master's eye? Can't you be more observant? Why did you get involved when the couple was there?"
Ye Yue was scolded by him and finally understood.
"Oh, that's why. I was wondering why it felt so awkward. So where are we going now?"
Although Tie Shou had a young - looking face, he was taller than Ye Yue. He put his hand on Ye Yue's shoulder.
"I didn't come here for a vacation. Come on, go with me to gather intelligence."
Although Ye Yue admired Tie Shou a bit, after all, he was the master's first subordinate, he was still not used to being treated so affectionately. He felt very uncomfortable all the way.
Tang Youyou's complexion had improved a lot, and her appetite was also very good. Maybe because she had expended some energy, she ate much more than before.
Rong Xun watched her eating in small mouthfuls. She looked just like a squirrel with puffed - out cheeks. He didn't forget to pour tea for her.
"Be careful. Don't choke."
Just as Tang Youyou was about to put the last piece of meat into her mouth, a large group of people swaggered in from outside.
The leader was the local bully who had molested a woman in the street before. There was also a decent - looking man beside him, and a group of servants behind them.
"That's her!"
The local bully spotted Tang Youyou and immediately pointed at her, shouting, "Arrest her for me!"
Rong Xun's eyes darkened. His knife - like gaze seemed to tear people to pieces, making the group of people afraid to approach easily.
"Charge at them! What are you waiting for!"
Although the local bully was also frightened by that look, he still had a bit of courage.
The decent - looking young man beside him advised him, "This person seems to be no ordinary person. Maybe we'd better not act rashly."
The local bully, who was fearless due to his ignorance, sneered and said carelessly, "What are you afraid of? I don't believe that with so many of us, we can't deal with him!"
"All of you, charge! Whoever can tie up these two for me will get a hundred taels of silver from me!"
As soon as he said this, the servants were suddenly filled with courage. Everyone was motivated by the promise of a hundred taels of silver.
Rong Xun wanted to get up to deal with them, but Tang Youyou grabbed his wrist.
She slowly shook her head. She knew that if this man started to fight, there would surely be bloodshed. She didn't want the unborn child to be tainted with the smell of blood.
Rong Xun knew what she was worried about and gently patted the back of her hand to reassure her.
Rong Xun used his shadow - evading technique. He moved so fast that no one could see when he made his move. The servants who had been full of energy and eager to earn the hundred taels of silver just now were all lying on the ground, unable to get up.
Everyone present was stunned, and even Tang Youyou was lost in thought.
This martial art is really amazing, Tang Youyou thought. It seems to have improved a lot compared to before.
Before, she had thought that if he and Lin Sheng got along well, she would fight them with a sword. Now, thinking about it, it was really an unrealistic idea.
The local bully and the steward were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped. They didn't know how to react.
The steward immediately regained his composure and said, "Let's leave first."
Then the inn returned to its previous tranquility, but Rong Xun couldn't sit still.
"What feud do you have with that man?"
Tang Youyou was picking up vegetables. "It's nothing. I just stood up for justice when I saw something wrong."
Rong Xun immediately understood, but this kind of thing was still a bit dangerous.
"Don't do it yourself in the future. Just let Ye Yue handle it."
When Tang Youyou heard this, she was immediately annoyed, but then she thought that she shouldn't cause trouble for herself. If Rong Xun and Ye Yue weren't here today, her situation would really be a bit dangerous.
"Okay."
She answered obediently and then remembered the woman who had sold herself to bury her father. She wondered how she was now.
Actually, she never understood why one had to sell oneself to bury one's father.
But thinking that this was a world in a novel, it was reasonable enough.
"Do you want me to take care of that fat - headed guy?"
Tang Youyou was a bit surprised when she heard this. If it had been before, this man would surely have killed the local bully without hesitation.
But now he even asked for her opinion in advance. He had really changed a lot.
"No. If he never appears in front of me again, there's no need."
Tang Youyou had no patience at all for ugly people, let alone someone who looked like a pig. She didn't even want to have any contact with him.
"Okay."
Rong Xun readily agreed, which made Tang Youyou very satisfied.
