Xie Limo gazed at Xiajun Yanwu's smile, expressionless. He raised a brow and said blandly, “It's pouring so heavily. How did you get here, Your Highness?”
Xiajun Yanwu was caught by surprise to hear this question.
Xie Limo smiled. “Since Your Highness was able to come, then I'll most certainly be able to leave. I believe it's doable with this minor rain.”
Seeing Xie Limo's smile, Xiajun Yanwu felt stunned by his captivating smile, causing her heart to throb.
This smile was way too charming, making one unable to ignore it.
Xie Limo had no idea that his smile had made an imprint upon Xiajun Yanwu's heart, like the plum blossoms in a snow mountain.
There's this kind of person who, even if he did nothing, would captivate others' gazes and make a mark upon one's heart.
And Xie Limo was such a person, the kind you can't ignore the minute you saw him.
It had such an effect on Xiajun Yanwu.
No matter how hard she tried to remain calm, she fell into a trance upon seeing him smile, and her heart got all jumbled up at hearing his voice.
Xiajun Yanwu said a blank look on her face, “I came here in a helicopter, so the heavy rain didn't affect me at all.”
Xiajun Yanwu then nearly bit her own tongue. Still, she had to feign calmness on the surface.
Xie Limo said warmly, “Then, Your Highness, can I borrow your helicopter?”
“Where are you going? I will send you over there.”
Xie Limo replied calmly, “Going home. With such a heavy rain, I'm worried about my wife. So I want to go home and take a look.”
Xie Limo never bothered to hide how much he doted on and loved his wife. People in the Ministry for State Affairs knew about this—Deputy Xie loved his wife dearly and often mentioned her.
If he could help it, he wouldn't attend dinner functions and would rush back to take care of his wife instead.
The female colleagues in the ministry were particularly envious. They say a man who takes care of his family and loves his wife is a man who has a good sense of responsibility.
So as time went by, all employees in the ministry, be it male or female, felt a sense of respect towards Deputy Xie.
As Xiajun Yanwu listened to Xie Limo's words, her heart felt a sour sensation. Was Yun Bixue truly so wonderful? So wonderful that he was willing to do anything for her?
Xiajun Yanwu refused to believe it. She always felt that love had its conditions. As long as he was presented with sufficient interests, seduction, or even threats, Xie Limo would be able to see her.
But now, she could only suppress the sour sensation in her heart as she said warmly, “I'll get the helicopter over. You can get into it, and they will take you to where you live.”
“Many thanks, Your Highness.”
Xiajun Yanwu replied amiably, “No need to stand on ceremony with me. As the princess, it is only right that I do something for everyone.”
Xie Limo's gaze wavered. He hadn't given Xiajun Yanwu's words deep thought at all as his mind was filled with Yun Bixue at this moment.
He was thinking, “How would she feel now that she had seen the normal An Yexuan?”
With such a heavy rain, how was she feeling at home right now?
She would certainly worry about him. Hence, if he returned home to accompany her, she would feel better.
Finally, despite Xiajun Yanwu's unwillingness, Xie Limo got into the helicopter and went home.
Wu Yin, who had been watching the princess's expression by the side, urged, “Don't worry Princess, as time goes by, Deputy Xie will see the good in you.”
Xiajun Yanwu sighed. “Wu Yin, I can't hide my thoughts from you. But actually, I don't wish to hurt Yun Bixue.”
“Your Highness, someone's bound to get hurt in love. You can fight for it in a sincere and straightforward manner.”
