Chapter 720: With You (Part 20)
Indeed, it was Yan who failed to protect everyone properly, as everyone’s attention was focused on Xia Yinian at that time, and he had never considered Xia Chuxue.If something happened to Xia Chuxue, Grandpa would not be able to handle it either.
Xia Chuxue secretly sneered to herself, as long as Yan felt guilty towards her, she considered it half a success.
Men are like that, they have a special sympathy for vulnerable girls, and sympathy can easily turn into pity.
"You rest for a while, I’ll handle the situation."
With that, Yan was about to stand up.
"No!" With a cry, Xia Chuxue stretched out her small hand, grabbing his firmly.
She gripped very hard, even her fingers turned white, but she still increased her strength.
"Don’t go! I’m scared..." As she spoke, Xia Chuxue’s whole body was trembling.
How could Yan, who had never understood women before, possibly think this was all an act?
Seeing her pale face, he hesitated for a moment and finally sat down again.
"You rest for a while, I will leave after you fall asleep."
"Mm." Xia Chuxue pursed her lips, nodded lightly, and said, "Thank you, Brother Yan, I’m sorry, I... I really didn’t mean it, I... am scared."
"Don’t be afraid, I am here with you."
Finally, she relaxed her grip a little and closed her eyes.
Once the person on the bed quieted down a bit, Yan immediately withdrew his hand.
He didn’t leave immediately, perhaps because of the promise he had just given to Xia Chuxue.
After a while, Xia Chuxue’s breathing also became more even, she was really scared today, now she is both sleepy and tired.
But with Brother Yan here, she was reluctant to sleep.
The person on the bed seemed to struggle in her dreams, and the blanket slid down again.
The sleep dress was too thin, with the blanket slipping, the skin of her shoulders and chest clearly exposed.
However, Xia Chuxue, eyes closed, didn’t know what expression Yan had now.
Of course, she also didn’t see that Yan didn’t even glance at her body.
Yan casually pulled the blanket up, stood up, turned around, and left.
This time, he didn’t look back.
Xia Chuxue was reluctant, but she knew that today was enough; too much would not be good.
If Brother Yan were to know she was intentionally seducing him, with what she knew about him, wanting to marry him in the future wouldn’t be so easy.
However, this man was really too oblivious; even after her performance, he really showed no sign of attachment.
In the middle of the night alone with a woman, couldn’t he think of having a romantic time?
However, at least this proves that her Brother Yan is a true gentleman, indeed, a man worthy of entrusting her life to.
Hearing the sound of the door gently closing, Xia Chuxue pouted her lips and opened her eyes.
After a while, she lifted the blanket, looked down, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Brother Yan had left, and her eyelids were slowly drooping.
Seventh Young Master dared to treat her like this, she must take revenge.
If she couldn’t take it on Seventh Young Master, taking it out on Xia Yinian would be satisfying.
Thinking about it, taking revenge on Xia Yinian would be more fun.
Just when Xia Chuxue was about to fall asleep, the door of the room was opened again.
She closed her eyes, expecting something, but an unexpected person’s voice echoed in the room.
"Stop pretending, it’s me." Feng Yifan pulled over a chair and sat down.
"What exactly happened today? Xia Yinian woke up and said she encountered an assassin."
