It seemed that there was some truth to Gu Bailu’s words.
If that was the case, Mo Qian’er couldn’t let Xiao Xiao misunderstand anything.
She was already a withered flower. There was no way she could give him a reply. Even if she was free, it was impossible for her to have anything to do with him.
“Mr. Xiao, I’m the crown prince’s woman. I’ve served him since I was ten, and I’m pregnant with his baby. The beauty in Mr. Xiao’s eyes is just a withered flower. There’s no need for you to lose your reputation over such a person.”
Mo Qian’er sat up again and got off the bed. She pulled on his sleeve and said, “Please go, Mr. Xiao!”
Looking at her frail figure in her white robe, Xiao Xiao didn’t dare continue.
He was afraid that Mo Qian’er would avoid him in the future, which was the last thing he wanted.
Xiao Xiao stood up. “Alright, I’ll go. Go back to bed. You’re the one who’s sick.”
Mo Qian’er let go of him. “Thank you.”
She bowed to him. Thank you for being willing to do this for me. Thank you for allowing me to meet someone like you.
Xiao Xiao picked up the medical box and gave her a profound look before he walked out.
After the door closed, Mo Qian’er legs buckled and she fell to the ground.
Rejecting such a beautiful and gentle person required courage.
How could she not want to be treated so gently, like treasure in someone’s hand?
She was full of envy every time Feng Qingtian gave Gu Bailu a helpless yet doting look.
But however envious she was, she knew that she couldn’t have something like that.
Lu Fenying was her nightmare. Even if someone was willing to give her all their love, she wouldn’t be able to bear it.
Lu Fenying wouldn’t let her go, and she couldn’t break free either. Lu Fenying’s mark on her was too deep, and engraved into her bones.
The door suddenly opened again; Xiao Xiao had come back. Seeing her collapsed on the ground, he rushed over and picked her up. “I knew you would be like this.”
Mo Qian’er was stunned. “Why are you back?”
Xiao Xiao closed the door. “I saw the crown prince coming this way before I left the yard. Even if I go back now, I’ll run into him. There will still be a misunderstanding.”
Mo Qian’er trembled when she heard that Lu Fenying was here.
What should she do? If he found out that Xiao Xiao was with her so late at night, he definitely wouldn’t let Xiao Xiao go.
She grabbed Xiao Xiao’s clothes nervously. “Why… Why don’t you hide first…”
Xiao Xiao said in amusement, “That would only make it even more like an affair.”
Mo Qian’er blushed.
She only wanted him to avoid Lu Fenying for now so that he wouldn’t get hurt. What was he thinking?
At that moment, the door was kicked open and a cold wind blew in. Mo Qian’er shivered and subconsciously huddled in Xiao Xiao’s arms.
“Mo Qian’er!” Lu Fenying’s ruthless voice rang out, and Mo Qian’er’s face turned pale.
“Your… Your Highness, why are you here…”
It was impossible to explain now.
“Xiao Xiao, so you dare?” Lu Fenying rushed over to kick Xiao Xiao.
Knowing that Lu Fenying would fly into a rage, Xiao Xiao certainly wouldn’t let him beat him up. He dodged and stepped back. “Your Highness, let me explain.”
But in fact, Xiao Xiao didn’t want to explain at all.
He had come back because he saw Lu Fenying headed this way. The truth was that he knew that Lu Fenying had seen him.
Since that was the case, he would go all out.
He had always liked Miss Qian’er, and wasn’t afraid of anyone knowing about it.
