It’s almost noon.
They couldn’t have skipped breakfast, could they?
Forget it.
Ye Qichi didn’t ask any further.
The three of them sat at a small dining table, enjoying a relatively appetizing al.
The inn had previously been staffed by assassins in disguise as the owner and the waiter, but now it seed a new batch of people had been brought in to cook for them and attend to their daily needs.
Wu Xufan was sowhat bored, so he wandered around the inn.
Then he saw Ye Qichi, Gu Xingchuan, and Xiang Qin dining together.
Watching Gu Xingchuan continuously pick food for Ye Qichi.
Ye Qichi and Gu Xingchuan seed quite at ease with each other, with none of that reserve usually seen between n and won.
Wu Xufan quickly turned around, planning to tip soone off.
He knocked on Xiao Jinxing’s door, and upon entering, he saw the man on the bed, his face dark as coal.
"Ye Qichi’s about to run off with soone and you can still sleep?!" Wu Xufan exaggeratedly exclaid.
Xiao Jinxing’s face darkened even more.
He had barely slept last night.
He had been keeping Xiao Wu company since he felt uneasy about him.
As dawn broke and Xiao Wu woke up seemingly fine, he left Xiao Wu’s room, and then went to Ye Qichi’s room.
Ye Qichi was sleeping soundly.
She didn’t even notice his return.
He didn’t plan to disturb her; just as he lay down intending to sleep, he saw the baby sleeping next to Ye Qichi move its little hands and feet, apparently waking up.
He hurriedly picked up the baby from the bed and took it out of the room.
After soothing her for a while, and following rice soup and a diaper change, he handed the baby off to soone else, planning to get so rest.
He had just lain down for a short while.
He was not soone who fell asleep quickly.
He finally managed to doze off.
And then Ye Qichi’s hands started roaming all over him.
Not content with the outside, they reached inside his clothes...
This woman.
Really taking advantage of his lack of attention to get close to him...
If he had not called out to her.
He couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t have been seduced.
After Ye Qichi left, he found himself unable to sleep again.
It felt like there was a fire in his heart.
Wanting to vent, yet unable to vent.
And then finally.
With great self-restraint, he managed to fall asleep.
But soone pushed the door open again.
Seeing Wu Xufan at that mont, he really had the urge to kill him!
"What are you staring at for? Ye Qichi didn’t run off with ; she’s about to run off with Gu Xingchuan. Aren’t you aware of how cozy and intimate Ye Qichi and Gu Xingchuan look together..."
"Get lost!" Xiao Jinxing roared in fury.
As if he was about to blow the roof off.
"You know..."
Wu Xufan fell silent.
Xiao Jinxing’s outburst was truly frightening.
He ant well!
Wu Xufan left dejectedly.
Xiao Jinxing’s expression remained unapproachable.
At that mont, his mind suddenly recalled the early morning when Yuan Wenkang arrived at Xiao Wu’s room. Just as Xiao Wu woke up, Yuan Wenkang and Xiao Wu persuaded him to rest, and he left. After that, because he had comforted the baby for a while, he overheard the conversation between Xiao Wu and Yuan Wenkang in the room.
"Xiao Wu, what exactly is the relationship between the Princess and Gu Xingchuan?" asked Yuan Wenkang.
"Friends, maybe?!" Xiao Wu replied, not very confidently.
"Didn’t you tell to protect Gu Xingchuan? I’ve been staying close to him, narrowly escaping the assassin’s attempts. When it seed safe, I let Gu Xingchuan wait at the inn while I went to find you. Gu Xingchuan insisted on coming with ; you know he has no martial arts skills, and might even beco a burden. Gu Xingchuan seed to realize my concerns and said if he beca a liability, he would choose to take his own life rather than burden us."
"Gu Xingchuan is too persistent."
"So I had no choice but to bring him with to find you all. Although we didn’t find you, the Bai Family army did and inford us that the Prince and Princess were safe at the inn, so we hurried back. On returning, Gu Xingchuan almost failed to stand steady when dismounting. He was very excited, the kind that’s hard to hide. Then, the mont he saw the Princess, I saw his eyes were sowhat red. When the Princess was attending to your surgery, he stood at the door for a very long ti, not leaving."
"Are you suggesting... Gu Xingchuan is fond of the Princess?" Xiao Wu boldly speculated.
Yuan Wenkang dared not confirm.
Xiao Jinxing didn’t listen any further.
He didn’t want to care.
To him, it didn’t matter who fancied Ye Qichi.
But now, hearing Wu Xufan say so, he felt inexplicably irritated.
His face grim, he called out to the doorway, "Dress !"
Any chance of sleep was now lost.
The guard hurried in to dress the Prince.
Xiao Jinxing then made his way to the main hall.
He saw Ye Qichi, Gu Xingchuan, and Xiang Qin dining together.
Laughing and talking...
Could Ye Qichi really smile at anyone?!
He approached with a cold face.
After he did so.
Everyone looked at him.
And the atmosphere noticeably cooled down.
As if.
He had disrupted their al!
