Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 204 Collision of Two People in Beijing (9)

With a hoarse voice he said, "Little Xuxu, marry me."

Feng Xuxu’s mind went blank, and by the time she realized what had just happened, her small face was so red with embarrassment that she rubbed back and forth in Dugu Chen’s arms without looking up. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Hahaha, if Little Xuxu doesn’t speak, I’ll take it as a yes!" Seeing Little Xuxu’s shy face, afraid to lift her head, pleased him even more.

Feng Xuxu glared at the instigator upon hearing this and pouted, "Don’t want."

Dugu Chen’s lips curled into a smile as he whispered in Feng Xuxu’s ear, "My lady, you are mine, forever and always."

Feng Xuxu shrugged her shoulders, covered her ears with her hands, and looked at Dugu Chen with a plaintive gaze, as it tickled her ears so.

"I belong to myself."

"Good, then I belong to you," Dugu Chen said, taking her cold hand and walking toward the inner chamber, then lifting Feng Xuxu onto the concubine’s chair.

"Little Xuxu, the Capital City is a complicated place. You must be careful in everything, always keep your eyes open, and if there’s anything you don’t understand, just come and ask me," Dugu Chen said, deeply worried about Feng Xuxu; although his woman was too smart, he still feared others might plot against her in secret.

"Mmh, I will be careful. Don’t worry," she said, feeling warm inside seeing Dugu Chen’s worried face.

Feng Xuxu shifted uncomfortably and immediately provoked a sensitive response from Dugu Chen, "Don’t move, or I won’t be able to stop myself from devouring you," he said, breathing heavy.

"Mmh," with her face flushed and head lowered, she obediently snuggled in Dugu Chen’s arms, inhaling the pleasant scent of ambergris, and soon, she fell asleep. Dugu Chen smiled wryly and soon hugged Feng Xuxu in his clothes and fell asleep as well.

Before daybreak the next day, Yingsu and Baihe came to the young lady’s room, where they saw pieces of broken wood on the floor. Upon closer inspection, the screen was gone. They exchanged glances, each thinking the same thing—surely the couple hadn’t fought and parted ways, had they?

They tiptoed to the bedroom and saw the young lady deeply sleeping in bed. After scanning the room and noticing no other changes, they quietly retreated, thinking that this time they wouldn’t have to pack up and move back to the mansion.

Once outside the room, Baihe whispered to Yingsu, "It’s the first time I’ve ever seen the young lady lose her temper."

"Mmh, yesterday I stupidly asked her if we should pack up her clothes. Now, just thinking about it makes my legs tremble," Yingsu admitted, still frightened.

"Mmh, you really were brave yesterday," Baihe said, recalling last night’s scenario and pointing at Yingsu, bursting into laughter and commending her courage.

"Look at you, daring to laugh at me. I’ll get you for that," Yingsu said with cheeks flushed as she chased Baihe around the yard.

"Come on, try to catch me. You won’t be able to," Baihe teased, looking back and laughing as she ran.

Seeing Young Master Jueqing’s guard enter the yard, Yingsu purposefully chased Baihe toward the Moon Gate. Baihe, laughing heartily, didn’t see Xuefei who had just entered the yard. She crashed head-on into Xuefei’s embrace, and with a thud, was bounced back, falling to the ground. Xuefei, also staggered by the impact, rubbed his chest and, ever the gentleman, reached to pull Baihe up. Baihe, momentarily dazed, snapped to and pointed at Xuefei, the instigator, "How do you walk, so silently? Could you afford it if you knocked me silly?" she berated him, rubbing her forehead and glaring with almond eyes, puffing her cheeks.

"...It was you who bumped into me. How is that my fault? Besides, do you have eyes on the back of your head? Is that how you walk? What are those two big holes in the front of your face for?" Xuefei retorted, not expecting to be unjustly accused upon delivering the screen so early in the morning, and he fought back indignantly.

"...Your two big eyes are just for show, huh? Humph, you just want to take advantage of me," Baihe grumbled, puffing up her small chest indignantly.

"Who’s taking advantage of you?"

Hearing her maid accused someone of taking advantage of her, Feng Xuxu immediately became unsettled upon waking up and, wanting to see who dared so much, walked towards the Moon Gate.
