Help! The Frosty Noble's Son Is in Love With Me!-Chapter 409: The Winds Have Changed

Mrs. Li tried to persuade him, but Xiao Shiqing already stood up, ignoring everything, walking inside and shouting, "Li Hua, Li Hua, come out."

It’s rare that he remembers to call her Li Hua, instead of Li Jirou, or else Aunt would be scared badly.

Speaking of it, Aunt only occasionally visited the Li Family, so she didn’t have a deep understanding of her niece, thus hasn’t noticed anything amiss till now.

But the Xiao Family is different. Not only were they neighbors, but the two families frequently visited each other, just like being part of each other’s household.

"Prince Xiao, Prince Xiao, don’t shout, please don’t shout..." Mrs. Li followed behind anxiously, failing to stop him at all.

Xiao Shiqing not only called her name but also knocked on every door he saw, finally waking Li Hua.

Li Hua was having a nightmare, being chased again by the man whose face she couldn’t see, as she ran into a house and locked the door. The man kept pounding outside, the door seemed about to give way...

In reality, someone was knocking on the door, causing Li Hua to confuse dream and reality momentarily.

It wasn’t until Aunt’s voice of stopping reached her ears that she gradually came to her senses, then got dressed and walked out.

Seeing Xiao Shiqing, Li Hua felt extremely powerless.

Why does he always disrupt her life whenever it feels like it’s returning to peace?

"Xiao Shiqing, what are you doing?" Li Hua asked in a deep voice.

Even the gentlest temper can’t handle being disturbed in the middle of the night.

"I feel terrible." Xiao Shiqing was reeking of alcohol, pounding his chest while speaking, "It hurts here, Li Hua, you’re driving me mad."

Heh.

She finally understood the real meaning of twisting words for self-protection.

Worried he might say something more outrageous while drunk, Li Hua once again sent Aunt away, deciding to handle it herself.

Having experienced last time, Mrs. Li knew staying wouldn’t help, so she had to step outside.

She decided to check if they disturbed the neighbors, but fortunately, it was quiet, no noise at all.

Inside.

Li Hua looked at Xiao Shiqing, annoyed, "Xiao Shiqing, what exactly do you want? Breaking into my home in the middle of the night, how will I live if this gets out?"

Xiao Shiqing suddenly hugged her tight, "Jirou, let’s reconcile, or I’ll go insane."

Li Hua struggled to get free, unable to, she coldly said, "Xiao Shiqing, let go, or don’t blame me for being harsh. If my reputation is ruined, I won’t have a life either, then we’ll all perish... um..."

Before she could finish, Xiao Shiqing kissed her lips.

Li Hua felt like she was losing her mind, struggled fiercely, finally biting his lip hard, causing him to release her.

"Smack!"

The sound of a loud slap echoed in the air.

Without a doubt, Li Hua had given Xiao Shiqing a fierce slap.

She never imagined Xiao Shiqing could be so despicable.

"Xiao Shiqing, you’ve gone too far!" Li Hua stated angrily.

Xiao Shiqing seemed to wake up a little, seeing the angrily reddened corners of the woman’s eyes, regretting his earlier actions, "Jirou, I..."

"I don’t want to hear a word from you, get out!" Li Hua said through gritted teeth.

Xiao Shiqing insisted on explaining, "I lost control under the influence of alcohol, sorry."

"If you truly regret, please leave now, Xiao Shiqing. It’s the middle of the night, you barging into Aunt’s house suddenly, if anyone finds out, how will we face people? If you must act drunk, do it elsewhere, don’t disturb our rest!"

Also knowing he was at fault, Xiao Shiqing apologized again and turned to leave.

If there’s anything to discuss, it should be during daylight in a proper setting, not like this.

The man walked outside, patting his head, regretting drinking so much.

Drinking made him bewildered.

In the past, he scoffed at those causing trouble after drinking, didn’t expect he’d have such a moment.

After this ordeal, she probably won’t want to see him at all, right?

A wave of remorse passed through Xiao Shiqing’s heart again.

That’s just him being regretful, on Li Hua’s side, she was too angry to sleep anymore.

She never thought Xiao Shiqing could be so persistent, showing up at her door in the middle of the night, completely disregarding her and Aunt.

Seems like she had to move out, moving to the place the Emperor rewarded her, at least there were guards watching the place, even if Xiao Shiqing dared, he couldn’t intrude into someone else’s inner quarters, or he’d be disrespecting the Emperor.

After all, both the house and guards are the Emperor’s rewards to her, if Xiao Shiqing dared to challenge them, he’d be challenging the Emperor’s authority.

Li Hua thought of every possible way to avoid Xiao Shiqing.

Moving was just the first step.

This time, Mrs. Li didn’t insist, following her niece to the big residence.

They really had no choice. If Prince Xiao caused a few more disturbances, their reputation in that area would be ruined, affecting her daughter’s marriage wouldn’t be good.

Although her daughter is married with a nice family, if they were implicated, that would be sinful.

Considering various aspects, they moved house quickly.

When Xiao Shiqing came again to apologize, the place was already deserted.

Qu Fulan heard Aunt and Li Hua moved to the County Princess Mansion to live, she was a bit surprised, considering they had always refused to live there, now suddenly moving in, wondering what made them change their mind, perhaps only after they meet and ask can she find out.

Soon Aunt came to Pei Mansion to see her, bringing lots of food and clothes for the growing child.

"I embroidered them out of boredom, hope you don’t mind."

Qu Fulan certainly didn’t mind, after heartfelt thanks, she casually asked the reason for their moving.

Though Mrs. Li kept it hidden from others, she had no secrets from this child, but she asked the maids to leave before speaking.

After Qu Fulan listening to Aunt’s words, she was shocked for a long time.

"Xiao Shiqing caused a drunken disturbance at your home? More than once? Has he gone mad?"

The key point being, when did he get entangled with Li Hua, what happened that she didn’t know?

Mrs. Li couldn’t explain, "He suddenly started pestering Li Hua like a lunatic, even I got scared, so I moved with my niece into the mansion for a bit more safety."

In reality, it’s not entirely safe either, Xiao Shiqing had endless ways to see Li Hua if he chose, she couldn’t hide completely.

Later, there were several more incidents, of course, in Li Hua’s eyes these were disturbances, in Xiao Shiqing’s eyes they were apologies.

Li Hua felt tormented, her resentment and anger growing deeper, eventually, she considered perishing together with him.

She wanted to start anew, live well, but kept being disturbed, since she couldn’t have peace, neither should the other side.

However, after one incident, Li Hua changed her mind, making a bold decision, surprising everyone around her.

Li Hua decided to reconcile with Xiao Shiqing, even moving into Xiao Mansion, planning to fulfill the marriage contract.

Before that, she invited Xiao Shiqing for a meal.

Xiao Shiqing let down his guard, winding up drugged and unconscious.

After waking up, everything had changed.
