"You, you, you..."
Zhao Huiyin found herself speechless once again. Her mouth hung open in shock, her eyes wide like copper bells.
Luo Hanfei chuckled, a mischievous smile playing on his lips as he said in a voice loud enough for everyone present to hear, "Thanks to the information provided by my dear wife, my talents have been put to good use."
In an instant, all the malicious glares turned toward her. Zhao Huiyin felt as if she had been pierced by countless arrows, her insides twisted in pain... All she wanted to say before her demise was, "Why are you doing this to me?"
But before she could ask, Luo Hanfei had already taken her away, pulling her hand as they dashed through the woods.
They rode together, but not toward the capital. The horse galloped swiftly, kicking up clouds of dust.
Zhao Huiyin finally managed to voice her question, panting heavily as she shouted, "Why are you doing this?"
Luo Hanfei's answer was simple: "No matter whether you know Zhou Changyi or not, you can't go back to him now."
He still believed that Zhou Changyi and she were old acquaintances... His gaze was firm and unwavering.
"What if I insist on going back?" Zhao Huiyin asked softly, her voice trembling as she looked at Luo Hanfei's profile.
Luo Hanfei raised an eyebrow dismissively. "Do you really think you can defeat me? Truly a prince, so domineering—snatching a common girl!" The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a hint of pride.
However... Zhao Huiyin beamed with mischief and grinned slyly. "Do you like me? When did that start?" Her eyes sparkled like two twinkling stars.
"It was you who said you wanted to be my guard," Luo Hanfei replied seriously. "My guard doubles as a bed warmer and a wife; whether you want to or not, you're stuck with it."
He looked ahead with a serious expression, gripping the reins tightly in his hands.
"Can you at least say something nice in a gentler tone?" Zhao Huiyin mumbled, pouting.
"By the way, because I rejected the emperor's marriage proposal, I can't return to the royal residence," Luo Hanfei suddenly said flatly, leaving out the princess's words. If they returned now, Zhao Huiyin would indeed be implicated, and he would be forced into marriage, which certainly wouldn't allow him the freedom he had now.
Zhao Huiyin was stunned, as if struck by lightning, standing there in shock.
No wonder they had been heading away from the capital.
Suddenly waking up to reality, she exclaimed, "You have nothing left?" Her voice carried a hint of panic, her eyes wide open.
Titles, wealth... Most importantly, wealth! How could she live well without money?
Zhao Huiyin lamented inwardly. How could she have been so blind to choose such an ungrateful person? How could she have given up such a large fortune? Regret was written all over her face.
She felt like crying; her eyes were reddening, tears welling up. Could she please go back and start over... just one more chance!
"What kind of expression is that?"
"A disappointed one," Zhao Huiyin replied candidly. "I thought I was getting close to a wealthy man, but you're just too unreliable!"
Not only was he unreliable, but he had completely dashed her grand plan of becoming a wealthy woman! She angrily waved her arms.
"Huiyin."
It was the first time he called her by her name, and it felt a bit awkward. He still thought "Little Guardian" sounded better. "I took something before burning down the hideout..."
Among those items was the stolen treasure from the palace, Exquisite Water. It was said that when combined with the Jade Disc, it could lead to hidden treasures. He looked at her mysteriously.
Perhaps in the future, they could go treasure hunting when they had nothing else to do.
"So you are still quite wealthy?" Zhao Huiyin's eyes lit up, as if she had seen a glimmer of hope.
"If I were broke, would you still follow me?"
"No, if you're broke, I'll support you!" Zhao Huiyin said boldly, patting her chest. "From now on, I'll be the heroine, and you'll be my Lackey!"
This combination sounded good... She laughed excitedly, as if she could already see a bright future ahead.
Luo Hanfei was pleased with her response. "Alright, let's be a pair of Wild Ducks, Wandering the Jianghu!" A happy smile spread across his face as he tightly held Zhao Huiyin's hand.
Zhao Huiyin pinched him at the waist. "Hey, you called me your wife in front of them! You can't deny it! What Wild Ducks? That sounds terrible! I warn you, no other women from now on!"
She pretended to look fierce at him, but her eyes betrayed a sweetness.
