A strange smile appeared on Old Master Jing's face as he destroyed the chess board. He squinted his eyes and sighed, "Since the ancient times, when a hero was sad, no one has bothered about it. It seems like Xuan brat is like this too."

Hearing this, Jing Moxuan's face slightly changed, and immediately denied, "No!"

Old Master Jing's eyes revealed a little, his eyes became sharp, "Really? Even though grandfather is old, that doesn't mean he can't see anything. "

He lowered his head slightly. In his hand was a white chess piece. Due to using too much strength, his fingers began to whiten. He took a deep breath to admit, "Yes, so what?"

A look of understanding appeared on Old Master Jing's face, he took the cigar the butler handed to him and took a drag. "Then it'll be fun."

Jing Moxuan frowned, his face revealing a look of worry, he knew his grandfather's methods, if this was a game, how would he protect Li Ruo?

Back in her room, she was sleeping soundly, her small mouth pouting slightly. Her complexion was rosy and moist, giving off a somewhat cute appearance.

He walked over quietly and made her sleep more comfortably. She seemed to be woken up from her sleep, and she groaned a little with her brows furrowed. Then, she hugged her blanket and fell asleep again.

Jing Moxuan found it funny as he squatted by the side and watched her. He felt warm in his heart because this woman would always accidentally touch his strings, the cute little girl.

He gently reached out his hand, but who would have thought that she would slap him directly onto the back of his head?

He mumbled, "So annoying."

Jing Moxuan was speechless. He stood up slowly and walked to the balcony, closing the window before letting out a sigh of relief. He couldn't afford to offend this woman.

Sitting on the chair, he looked at the drizzling rain, his expression gradually becoming complicated. He had to take Li Ruo away as soon as possible, he really didn't have confidence in being able to deal with Cheng Yichen.

She did not have the confidence that Li Ruo would not be moved by him, so the only thing he could do was to leave this place as soon as possible, and it would be best if she could not let the two of them have any interactions in her life.

The next day, Li Ruo woke up naturally and stretched lazily. When she sat up and saw Jing Moxuan sitting on the sofa opposite of her, she was startled and asked softly: "Xuan, what are you doing here, did you see me for an entire night?"

She felt a little embarrassed in her heart. What kind of hobby was he exactly, to sit here and watch over her? It was strange to think about it.

Seeing her stunned face, Jing Moxuan did not seem to mind and opened his mouth, "I can't sleep, just sit for a while."

"Eh." She speechlessly pursed her lips. Even so, he shouldn't be sitting in front of her right? The scene was truly strange.

Li Ruo laughed dryly, pointed to the bathroom and muttered, "Then I'll go wash up."

"Alright."

She had worn her pajamas after taking a bath yesterday, which meant that it was completely empty inside. Now that he was staring at her, he was really afraid of being seen through.

His mood was too subtle! She listened to his movements as she walked inside. She was completely relieved when she entered the bathroom.

After washing up, he walked out and stole a glance at the man sitting on the sofa. He let out a dry laugh. "Xuan, I want to change clothes."

"Alright." He indifferently put out the cigarette, stood up and walked out.

Li Ruo quickly changed her clothes and heaved a sigh of relief. Her face had a look of depression, and her mood suddenly became slightly uncomfortable. Especially when she was with Jing Moxuan, she felt that it was weird.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, "Li Ruo, are you done?"

"Come in."

Jing Moxuan walked in with large strides, narrowed his eyes and glanced at her, then said with a very calm tone, "I'll go eat later."

She nodded seriously, her eyelids drooping slightly. "I'm a little afraid."

He very naturally sat beside her, holding her hand and asking in a low voice, "What are you afraid of?"

She lifted her head and bumped into his pair of calm eyes, revealing a somewhat dejected expression. "I'm a little afraid of uncle, so I didn't dare to come into contact with him."

The corner of Jing Moxuan's mouth raised into a mocking smile. In the end, wasn't the reason why he was afraid of Jing Zhen even though she had saved him? He said coldly, "What is there to be afraid of? "With me here, you'll be fine."

She sighed dejectedly and whispered, "That's true."

"So there's no need to worry about these things. Let's find a good time tomorrow and leave." Jing Moxuan said resolutely, his tone completely unquestionable.

From the beginning till the end, Jing Moxuan was her guide, and she would never disobey him, so this time was the same.

Just when she was in a daze, she suddenly felt him approach her. A scorching heat spread around her neck, and she instantly tensed up, resisting and dodging for a bit.

Jing Moxuan's face darkened because of his actions, he pulled her fiercely into his embrace and questioned her coldly, "Where are you hiding?"

"I, I only dodged because of a conditioned reflex, I'm still not used to it." She explained while trembling with fear. Her big eyes were filled with tears. She had truly been scared by him.

Jing Moxuan's face darkened, he forced her to sit on the sofa and leaned his body forward, staring at him up close. She was so scared that her eyebrows were knitted tightly, he closed his eyes, and his breathing became longer and longer.

However, from his point of view, her actions were akin to resisting him. Annoyed, she sat up and said coldly, "You make me feel like you're being forced!"

The atmosphere became especially awkward. Li Ruo opened her eyes and revealed a little panic as she explained uneasily, "You should have given me time. I need time to accept you."

"So you haven't accepted me yet?" He asked with a sneer, with a helpless look on his face, "Then what do you want me to do? We are getting engaged. "

Li Ruo gloomily lowered her head, tugging at his clothes, and muttered: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that.

She really did it out of reflex just now. She really didn't want to reject him, but she didn't know how to accept it. So right now, she was very troubled and her heart was hurt.

Especially in the face of Jing Moxuan's cold talk and violence, she could not resist. The only thing he could do was endure, as she was actually a little afraid of Jing Moxuan.

"I'll give you time, how much time will I give you? One or two days? Or is it a month and a year? " He mockingly lit up a cigarette. "You can't even do the most basic of things. What kind of couple are we?"

Li Ruo's small face slightly changed, she forcefully pulled at the corner of her mouth and tugged on his clothes, "Sorry."

"Do you love me?" he asked in a low voice.

Li Ruo's mind resounded with a few words. He was her fiancee, and she loved him very much. Right, she loved him.

He lifted her chin and whispered, "Seriously?"

Li Ruo nodded her head with certainty, and held his hand behind his back, while staring at him with a worried gaze, she said carefully, "So, don't suspect me anymore, okay?"

Jing Moxuan did not directly answer, but instead reached out his hand and touched his lips. His meaning was clear, his cheeks were slightly red, and he took a deep breath to cheer himself up. They were a couple, and she loved him, so there was nothing that she could not do.

He stood on his tiptoes and pecked his lips. Immediately, his face looked like a rosy May morning. He looked so embarrassed that he didn't know where to look.

Jing Moxuan embraced her waist, and nodded happily, "I'm very happy."

Hearing this, her mood improved a bit. At least she wouldn't be trembling in fear when facing him. She was really afraid of his anger. His bad temper made her want to escape.

The two of them went downstairs one after the other, but to their astonishment, they found Cheng Yichen and Jing Zhen sitting on the sofa and chatting about something. There was nothing wrong with the two of them expression, they even laughed from time to time.

Li Ruo looked at this scene in shock, then looked at Jing Moxuan, he remained calm as though nothing had happened, this group of people were truly the best, everyone's faces were covered with masks.

And what kind of feeling did Cheng Yichen have to face Jing Zhen? Jing Zhen wanted to kill him, wasn't he too calm? He was so calm that it was difficult for her to calm down.

Hearing the footsteps, Cheng Yichen raised his head and looked at her, then frowned: "It's cold outside, you should wear more."

Her expression stiffened slightly and she subconsciously looked towards Jing Moxuan. His expression was indeed not as pale as before, but he quickly took off his jacket and draped it over her body, before dragging her down the stairs.

"Are we going out to eat?"

"Grandpa prepared a bonfire." Jing Moxuan replied indifferently. In the dark sky, there was only the bonfire outside that was blazing brightly. Beside the bonfire, there was a long table with beautiful flowers.

"Let's go out." Jing Moxuan held her hand and walked out.

While Li Ruo's attention was completely focused on the bonfire, she didn't even have time to react. She subconsciously gave chase, but in the end, she still accidentally stumbled and fell forward.

But very quickly, a pair of hands appeared out of nowhere on her waist, and with a slight tug, she pulled her up. Li Ruo's footsteps staggered, and fell into his embrace.

Raising his head to meet Cheng Yichen's eyes, his heart seemed to stop beating for a moment. He stared at Cheng Yichen's eyes in a daze without saying anything, as if even time had stopped.

Cheng Yichen smiled, and tapped his forehead in a daze, and said with a low voice, "You have to be careful walking around."

At this moment, a gloomy voice sounded out. "Come here."

Li Ruo seemed to have awoken from her stupor, her small face changed slightly, his hands twisted around, and she walked to Jing Moxuan's side. Holding his hands, his eyes became as sharp as a knife, scaring her to the point that she sucked in a breath of cold air.

"You're really careless!"

These words were completely filled with anger. She shivered for a moment before lowering her head like a primary school student. "I will pay attention."

"It's best if it's like this!" He fiercely swept a glance at Cheng Yichen, and pulled her hand as he walked outside.

Cheng Yichen clenched his fist, a look of anger on his face. Jing Moxuan didn't deserve to treat Little Qing like that! He wanted to find a chance to teach him a lesson! When he thought of this, his face turned much better and he went outside as well.

He very naturally sat across Li Ruo. She sat there alone with her head lowered, staring at the plate in front of her. It was unknown what she was thinking, but she looked very pitiful.

The bottom of Cheng Yichen's heart felt worse. He really wanted to pull her into his embrace to comfort her, that she shouldn't be treated like this! Was she still that beautiful when she smiled?

By Jing Moxuan's side, he only saw her compromise, her helplessness!
