Jun Yeyan lifted the hand of Bai Aoxue, only to see that her original white tender hand now was grazed with blood seeping.
It turned out that Bai Aoxue's hand got injured when she hit the Mongolian wolf, while Bai Aoxue did not think that Jun Yeyan would observe so carefully.
Once her hand was like this or worse than this, no one cared about it. Bai Aoxue has long been used to it, while Jun Yeyan still made her flipped today.
"It's none of your business!" Bai Aoxue hurriedly pulled back her hand and quickly lowered her head.
Despite this, Jun Yeyan still saw Bai Aoxue's rosy cheeks.
The Mongolian wolf tamed by Bai Aoxue has already walked to her side and gently rubbed her leg with his head.
Bai Aoxue gently stroked the head of the Mongolian wolf with her hand: "You don't have a name yet, right? I will call you Chidian."
It seemed that Chidian understood her. He circled Bai Aoxue excitedly.
Nalan Youhong looked flattering Chidian and thought: Animals were the same as people. They also knew that a wise man submitted to fate.
Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue who ignored him. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Well..." when Nalan Youhong, who felt the changing atmosphere, just wanted to say something to enliven it, Wenxi and Hongxiu came back with a basket of raw beef.
"Miss, will this beef be enough? If it's not enough, we'll take some more." Hongxiu put the beef some distance away from Bai Aoxue.
Bai Aoxue looked at the beef first, and then looked at Chidian: "Go to eat your lunch. It is your compensation."
At this time, Wenxi and Hongxiu noticed that the fierce wild wolf had been as smooth as a sheep and was crouching at the foot of Bai Aoxue.
This kind of rapid change made the two people frightened. They were thinking about how Bai Aoxue did it.
They weren't long gone, but Bai Aoxue tamed a wild beast in such a short time.
And this beast that was originally feared by everyone was now obedient like a tiger that has been pulled out a tooth.
This was something they couldn't accept in such a short time anyway.
Hearing the words of Bai Aoxue, Chidian looked at the beef in the distance with green lights flashed in his eyes. He could not wait to climb up and then limped to the beef.
At this time, all the people knew why Bai Aoxue would say that it was compensation.
Looking at Chidian who was hobbling, Nalan Youhong's mouth was shivering: "Only you can be so fierce. He was no longer as cruel as he had been when he was caught by us in Mobei."
Wenxi and Hongxiu looked at Chidian that was getting closer and closer to them. Although there were no extra expressions on their faces, they were still scared. This was a wolf and it could probably pounce on them at any time.
Although they were afraid, they did not dare to act rashly since Bai Aoxue did not let them leave.
How could Bai Aoxue not see the anxiety of the two people? She faintly said: "Don't be afraid. Chidian is very obedient now and he won't hurt people. I think he must have suffered a lot."
Chidian, who was taking tough steps towards beef, slipped his limbs and almost fell after listening to Bai Aoxue's words.
Bai Aoxue turned her head to look at Nalan Youhong who have been watching the show: "Young Master Nanlan, are you happy to see this play today?"
Nalan Youhong didn't react for a while. He said cheerfully before he knew her meaning: "I'm happy and satisfied. Hhh!"
After laughing, Nalan Youhong realized that his words were a little bit inappropriate.
"Well... Miss Bai, please don't mind. I'm just joking. Right, it's a joke!" Nalan Youhong said awkwardly. After then, he even affirmed self-deceivingly.
Bai Aoxue burst out laughing: "Hh, I'm Bai Aoxue. Not anyone can see my show. Young Master Nalan, don't you feel your explanation being too late?"
"You see me, a young girl, fighting with a beast, while no one has come forward to help. Now what is the use of sophistry since the whole thing is over?" Bai Aoxue paused, looking at Nalan Youhong with her eyebrows raising up.
Nalan Youhong did not expect that Bai Aoxue would say this. When she was fighting with Chidian, her violence and fierce were even more terrible than a man!
Who would treat such a person as a young lady? Bai Aoxue really dared to say!
Of course, Nalan Youhong also dared to think about these words in his mind. A fine wolf was beaten by her like that who was also afraid of fists.
Thinking about this, Nalan Youhong looked at Jun Yeyan for help, but saw that Jun Yeyan seemed to be immersed in his own world. He even did not look at him.
Nalan Youhong released a resigned smile: "Miss Bai is reasonable. I'm wrong today. I don't know that if Miss Bai can forgive me."
Looking at Nalan Youhong, Bai Aoxue slightly frowned as if she was in a dilemma.
Nalan Youhong only felt that one day was like a year. He believed that Bai Aoxue wouldn't be easy on people. After a few days, he deeply understood that Bai Aoxue was the type of people who wouldn't let you gain a tiny bit extra advantage.
Just when Nalan Youhong couldn't stand and planned to speak first, Bai Aoxue slowly said: "I heard that Young Master Nalan was going to purchase an antique store?"
When Nalan Youhong listened to Bai Aoxue, he understood it in an instant like being brightened.
He immediately nodded: "Miss Bai is right. And that store belongs to your family. I wonder if Miss Bai wants to teach me something."
Bai Aoxue was waiting for those words of Nalan Youhong. She smiled lightly: "Young Master Nalan only knows that the store is belonging to Prime Minister, but you don't know that the store was left by my mother when she was alive. I don't want to give unnecessary details, but I only hope that Young Master Nalan could do me a favor."
Bai Aoxue's words still let Nalan Youhong accidentally raise up his eyebrows. At first, he wanted to buy that store only thought it was fun, so he didn't check it carefully. He didn't realize there were stories behind.
Nalan Youhong turned his eyes to Jun Yeyan. Then he saw Jun Yeyan nodding secretly.
Jun Yeyan's move was very secret, probably could only noticed by Nalan Youhong who has followed him since childhood.
"Since Miss Bai said so, I will not let Miss Bai disappoint. I will help you with anything!" Nalan Youhong said straightforwardly.
Seeing Nalan Youhong promise so fast, Bai Aoxue couldn't help doubting in her heart. Her split sight turned to Jun Yeyan but saw Jun Yeyan who didn't seem to care. The suspiciousness in her heart was slowly dimming.
She really didn't want to owe Jun Yeyan too much. If she owed him, she would care about him when she left, while she didn't need such a feeling in her life since it would weaken her mind, which was a huge threat to her.
"So, thank you in advance, Young Master Nalan." Bai Aoxue smiled with her lips picking up.
Nalan Youhong saw the appearance of Bai Aoxue, and he also wanted to ease her relationship with Jun Yeyan. He smiled: "Miss Bai, you don't need to. I can't bear your gratitude. If you want to thank me, you could invite us to have a meal in your home!"
Bai Aoxue agreed after listening to Nalan Youhong. When she just wanted to invite, she saw Jun Yeyan looking at her indifferently. This kind of gaze made her uncomfortable. She even forgot what she planned to say.
"Forget about the dinner. There are still things waiting for us today. Let's go." As if Jun Yeyan's indifferent gaze didn't appear at the beginning. He suddenly became calm like an ancient well.
When the words fall, he quickly turned and left.
Nalan Youhong looked at the back of Jun Yeyan and sighed slightly: "So I won't bother Miss Bai. Goodbye!" Then he quickly caught up with Jun Yeyan.
Bai Aoxue looked at the burning red robe of Jun Yeyan disappeared in the courtyard together with the peaceful atmosphere in there.
Looking at Chidian who was still eating meat, Bai Aoxue turned around expressionless.
"Wenxi, you record those things and then carry them into an empty room." Bai Aoxue faintly commanded.
"Yes, Miss." Wenxi and Hongxiu replied in one voice.
Bai Aoxue quickly entered the room, and only saw Mumian looking at her at the door. Her eyes had some emotions that Bai Aoxue did not understand.
"Miss, you..." Mumian looked at Bai Aoxue as if she was going to say something but stopped.
In fact, she saw everything in the room just now. She probably was the happiest one to see Bai Aoxue's changes, while she was also the one who was worried about her most.
Although Bai Aoxue used to be weak, but she was emotional. However, Bai Aoxue was strong, indifferent and even was emotionless now. These were all Mumian didn't want to see.
She hoped that Bai Aoxue could live like a common person who would have emotions and be happy. Although Bai Aoxue was powerful now, she didn't understand the emotions of normal people anymore.
Even an onlooker like her knew that 5th prince was concerned about Miss, but the practice of her was too extreme and probably hurt 5th prince.
How could Bai Aoxue not understand what Mumian wanted to say? It was just that she didn't want to try many things. Nothing more than that.
"Mumian, you can also check with Wenxi and Hongxiu. After finishing, you sprinkle this thing on every box. You need to remember. Don't touch those boxes after they are sprinkled." Bai Aoxue interrupted Mumian's thought and said faintly. Besides, she also took out a small porcelain bottle for Mumian.
Mumian took over the small bottle handed by Bai Aoxue. She was more cautious when she heard Bai Aoxue.
"Got it, Miss." Looking at Bai Aoxue, Mumian decided that she could let it go after thinking for a while.
However, Jun Yeyan who left didn't say a word. He listened to Nalan Youhong who talked to himself all the way.
"Well, are you listening to me or not?" Nalan Youhong finally could not help but yell when he saw Jun Yeyan keep being in a daze.
"Hong, do you think I am being too good for her, so she randomly squandered those good?" Jun Yeyan said faintly.
How could Nalan Youhong not know who she was? He just didn't know how to answer the question of Jun Yeyan.
In the past, he didn't think that the ruthless and unintentional Jun Yeyan would show people kindness. Jun Yeyan was destined to be born in the darkness and die in the darkness. He seemed to be lonely for a lifetime.
He was too strong and powerful to make people feel that no one in the world could match him. However, Bai Aoxue always let him see the shadow of Jun Yeyan.
People like them were destined to live in the dark. They were equally fierce and brutal, while equally emotional and delicate and too sensitive and fragile.
In fact, Jun Yeyan didn't understand why he wanted to be good for Bai Aoxue. At the first place, it was because that pair of dazzling eyes attracted him at the first sight.
Now it was because Bai Aoxue's character was always indifferent and brutal when she broke out. Bai Aoxue was also interesting and had a lot of secrets, which made him interested.
That was probably all of it. Jun Yeyan slowly closed his eyes and thought like this.
When he opened his eyes again, the boredom in them disappeared, only leaving ridicule. His straight eyebrows and his gleaming eyes were attractive. He was still Jun Yeyan that he used to be.
He didn't care about good or bad, good or evil, and love or hate. There was only a powerful ambition that was about to overflow!
