Chapter 205: Questions, explaining
Lin Chujiu didnât hear things clearly, so she stayed motionless. Seeing this, Xiao Tianyao repeated his words patiently: âSit down.â
Gently words with majestic tone can really make a person hard to refuse. But, Lin Chujiuâs face became pale and her body trembled a bit. Lin Chujiu shook her head and stubbornly said: âIâm going out.â
She doesnât want to be influenced by Xiao Tianyao again. She doesnât want to have feelings for this person anymore. She doesnât want to be deceived by his gentle eyes.
âYes, but not now,â Xiao Tianyao stood in front of Lin Chujiu, and didnât give her an opportunity to leave: âBenw.a.n.g has something to say about Doctor Wuâs proposal.â He came to talk about his business, so how can he let her go out?
âSay it.â Lin Chujiu took a deep breath and tried hard to make herself look calm.
âSit down first.â Xiao Tianyao pushed away his wheelchair and no longer blocked Lin Chujiuâs path. He believed Lin Chujiu would not be so stupid to try running away in front of him.
Of course, Lin Chujiu was not so foolish to do that. Xiao Tianyao was not an ordinary person. As long he disagrees, she can never go out from this place.
Lin Chujiu sat down honestly and waited for Xiao Tianyao to speak. But after a long while, Xiao Tianyao still didnât open his mouth. Lin Chujiu turned her head and saw Xiao Tianyao took a towel and walked close to wipe her hair.
Lin Chujiuâs eyes widen in horror, she busily said while trying to take the towel from his hand: âw.a.n.gye, I can do it myself.â She couldnât afford his service.
Xiao Tianyao avoided Lin Chujiuâs hand and leaned over: âSit down, benw.a.n.g can help you wipe it.â When his words fell, whether she agrees or not, Xiao Tianyao directly wiped Lin Chujiuâs hair.
âNo, I really can.â Lin Chujiu tried to escape, but she was held down by Xiao Tianyao, âSit properly, donât let benw.a.n.g repeat himself for the fifth time.â
An invisible force was put over to Lin Chujiuâs shoulder. This force made Lin Chujiuâs feet unable to move, but will not harm her.
With this, Lin Chujiu could only sit properly and watch Xiao Tianyaoâs movement through the bronze mirror. Xiao Tianyaoâs long slender fingers move back and forth to her hair.
She grew up this old, but it was the first time she saw someone so concerned because she didnât dry up her hair.
She grew up this old, but it was the first time someone volunteered to wipe dry her hair.
She grew up this old, but it was the first time someone stood behind her for a long time⦠â¦
She would be lying if she said she was not moved, but why is that someone was Xiao Tianyao?
Lin Chujiu doesnât know why her heart was moved. But, the more she felt moved the more she felt sad. There was no noise inside the room, so in order to calm down herself, Lin Chujiu took the initiative to break the silence: âw.a.n.gye, didnât you said you want to talk about Doctor Wuâs business?â Isnât this gentle and considerate actions of yours were for the front line soldiers?
If so, just tell me the truth. I beg you to stop torturing me with this tenderness.
Tears started acc.u.mulating in Lin Chujiuâs eyes. But, because she was afraid Xiao Tianyao would see her weak, she blinked and blinked her eyes, hoping for her tears to turn back.
But who is Xiao Tianyao? His strength was not inferior to a Martial G.o.d, so could it be possible for Lin Chujiuâs movement missed his eyes? Lin Chujiuâs hair dried up in the next second. But⦠⦠Lin Chujiu hasnât found out.
âBefore we talk about that, letâs talk about Zhou Si.â Xiao Tianyao knew that Lin Chujiu cares about this matter more than anything else. He originally thought Lin Chujiu would ask him about it, but he was wrong.
She keeps it inside her heart, making herself all cranky and simply stayed⦠⦠angry at him!
âZhou Si?â As she heard this name, Lin Chujiuâs heart become sore. But, she stayed calm in front of Xiao Tianyao, as if it has nothing do with her: âIsnât he dead? What else is there to say?â
âYouâre thinking of it too much.â Instead of asking, Xiao Tianyao simply stated. Lin Chujiu didnât speak.
Xiao Tianyao keeps wiping her hair and said: âZhou Si received a money to take away benw.a.n.g and your life.â
âSomeone wants my life?â Lin Chujiu was very surprised. After all, she couldnât think of a person that would waste their money to take her life.
Before she married Xiao Tianyao, she didnât seem offended anyone. But of course, that was aside from to the Crown Prince, the Empress, and Lin Furen. These people want her life, but not to the point to hire an a.s.sa.s.sin.
âYes, someone paid a price for your life and Zhou Si took it. He has been secretly wanting to take your life. To solve this trouble, benw.a.n.g hired the best a.s.sa.s.sin, Jing Chi, to kill him. Benw.a.n.g was hoping he can solve him. But itâs a pity, Zhou Si received a news in advance and hideaway. He hides in a mountain that Jing Chi couldnât find him.â Xiao Tianyao couldnât help but reveal a few real events.
âZhou Si has a habit, he wouldnât take a new task as long as he hasnât completed his current task. Zhou Siâs skill is not bad, but benw.a.n.g is not afraid of him. And even if benw.a.n.gâs legs were useless, he canât kill benw.a.n.g easily. But, you are different⦠â¦â
âYou mean to say he choose to kill me, right?â Lin Chujiu understand, but she still couldnât help but complain.
âThe fact that you are much easier to kill than benw.a.n.g wonât change. As long as benw.a.n.g left Xiao w.a.n.gfu, or as long as you leave, Zhou Si will make a move.â Additionally, he will soon leave Xiao w.a.n.gfu, so he didnât hesitate to use her as a bait, to kill Zhou Si.
If he wonât solve Zhou Si, when he goes to the battlefield, Lin Chujiu will be left alone in danger.
âSo youâre telling me that you didnât use me as a bait. Zhou Si has been watching me, so as soon as I get out from Xiao w.a.n.gfu, I automatically become a bait, right?â Lin Chujiu began mocking herself.
What a magnificent reasoning, Xiao Tianyao can really be deceiving.
âThatâs the undeniable fact.â Xiao Tianyaoâs nodded his head naturally.
âYou mean to say that you did all these things to eradicate the potential danger that is coming for me, right?â Lin Chujiu asked again and again. Xiao Tianyao firmly nodded and said: âYes.â
âSo, w.a.n.gye, are you explaining to me?â For the sake of 300,000 soldiers in the front line, you opened your n.o.ble mouth?
âNo, benw.a.n.g doesnât need to explain. Benw.a.n.g just wanted you to think about it less.â Continuing to drill in this awkward and emotional event was really annoying.
âOh, thank you very much for opening up these things to me, despite your awfully busy schedule.â Lin Chujiu turned around and grabbed her hair from Xiao Tianyaoâs hands. Then, said: âw.a.n.gye, donât you dare deny it, you used me as a bait, right?â
Xiao Tianyao frowned his eyebrows in displeasure: âLin Chujiu, when are you going to stop over thinking about this?â His patience was limited.
âIâm not overthinking. I only want to know if you used me as a bait that time?â If it was an accident, she wonât blame Xiao Tianyao. But, it wasnât an accident.
âYes.â
âSure you did⦠â¦â Lin Chujiu already know this, but when she confirmed it from Xiao Tianyaoâs mouth, her heart felt an extreme pain. She stepped back and hit the dresser. The pain Lin Chujiu felt from her waist made her mind sober. After taking a deep breath, Lin Chujiu asked: âHave you ever thought that I will die under Zhou Siâs arrow?â
Tears from her eyes silently fall down⦠â¦
