Xiao Yao was held in He Yu's arms, her face burning red. Upon hearing his words, she immediately struggled and said, "There's no need to trouble the prince. I can walk by myself."
However, this did not make He Yu loosen his grip; instead, he held her even tighter and chuckled, "It's fine, you're quite light."
At this remark, Xiao Yao felt even more embarrassed. Meanwhile, Xiao Mo Yi could no longer tolerate it and stepped forward, coldly saying, "Your Highness, please show some restraint. As the saying goes, men and women should not have physical contact. If this continues, my sister's reputation may be at stake. If she reaches marriageable age and is still unmarried, it would surely fall back on you, Your Highness. That would not be worth it."
Exactly! Xiao Yao nodded vigorously while internally screaming, hurry up and put me down! You scoundrel!
But He Yu was still He Yu; the title of the First Non-Surname King of the Capital was not given lightly. Hearing this, He Yu looked down at Xiao Yao, whose face was already crimson with embarrassment, and let out a short laugh. "If that's the case, I suppose I should hold you even tighter."
What?! Xiao Yao felt as if a thousand wild horses were galloping through her mind, with various loud noises ringing in her ears. At that moment, one thought kept circling in her head: Is he confessing? Really?
Xiao Yao was already stunned by the prince's shocking words. Xiao Mo Yi's face had turned completely dark; his hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists. He didn't know how much restraint it took to stop himself from punching He Yu in the face. "Your Highness, this matter requires careful consideration. Everything is still uncertain; your conclusion seems rather hasty!"
"Of course!" He Yu seemed completely oblivious to Xiao Mo Yi's meaning. He glanced at the girl in his arms and caught her gaze. He Yu smiled at her, his eyes filled with such tenderness that it nearly drowned Xiao Yao in emotion. She was momentarily stunned; could those deep eyes be for her benefit? Her mind was a complete mess.
And yet the instigator continued to provoke the already petrified siblings. "In times like this, one must be decisive. Otherwise, wouldn't someone else have taken her away already?" After saying this, He Yu simply turned around and carried Xiao Yao out of the private room.
He paid no mind to the bustling crowd outside among the Common People of Nanping.
Indeed, just as He Yu stepped out and came into view of the Common People of Nanping, the entire Shan Mei Ge instantly fell silent.
...
Xiao Yao estimated that by morning, all of Nanping City would know that she had been carried onto a carriage by Xuanping Wang He Yu! Thinking about this made Xiao Yao unable to help but let out a silent scream in her heart as she buried her head into He Yu's embrace. He Yu was taken aback by her sudden action but soon wore a helpless smile as he tightened his hold on her.
Thus, under everyone's watchful eyes, He Yu steadily carried Xiao Yao out of Shan Mei Ge and carefully placed her into a luxurious carriage that ordinary people would never see. After settling Xiao Yao inside, he looked up at the upper floor but saw that Xiao Mo Yi had yet to come down. Frowning slightly, he called over a guard and whispered a few instructions.
The guard agreed and quickly ran upstairs.
Xiao Yao poked her head out of the carriage window, her cheeks still flushed. "Has Elder Brother not come down yet?"
"Yes, I sent someone up to ask him. You don't need to worry," He Yu said, turning back from outside the carriage and comforting Xiao Yao in a gentle voice.
Elder Brother must be furious right now... Xiao Yao lowered the curtain and buried her face in her palms, her heart desperately blaming herself. How could you let a stranger carry you away?! Xiao Yao, where is your modern-day dignity?! Ah, Elder Brother must be livid.
Moreover, just thinking about how her parents and older brother would find out about this when they got home...
She wished she could just disappear; she couldn't face her family!
However, deep down, there was an undeniable feeling that she couldn't ignore. She felt completely unable to refuse this man. For some reason, his every smile and gesture carried an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
That familiar feeling was so strong that she couldn't overlook it, which was also why she had been unable to refuse He Yu just now. What was this all about?
She clearly had never met him before! Not in this life, nor in her past life had she encountered this man.
Could he be the destined one from her three lifetimes? This thought flashed through Xiao Yao's mind, and she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. How could she even think of such a cliché plot? Had she really watched too many brainless dramas?
Just as Xiao Yao was rolling around in the carriage, tangled in her thoughts, the guard came down from upstairs and whispered a few words into He Yu's ear. He Yu glanced at Shan Mei Ge's upper floor and nodded. "Alright, let someone inform the Shopkeeper; we’ll leave first."
"Understood."
Xiao Yao vaguely heard someone returning outside and peeked out to look around, but did not see Xiao Mo Yi's figure. "Is my Elder Brother not back yet?"
"Your Elder Brother ran into a few old acquaintances and will be delayed for a while. Let's go first," He Yu said with a smile.
"..." Xiao Yao looked at He Yu speechlessly. Does the prince really have to use such a poor excuse?
He Yu felt a bit embarrassed under Xiao Yao's gaze, cleared his throat awkwardly, and smiled as he patted her head. "Alright, I have someone keeping an eye out. Your Elder Brother will be back soon. Let's head back first, okay?"
Well, this time he couldn't even be bothered to find an excuse.
Xiao Yao was also exasperated but obediently pulled her head back in.
He Yu smiled and walked to the front of the carriage, waving his hand to signal the driver to move aside. He then got on the carriage and slowly drove away.
The driver watched helplessly as the carriage was taken away by He Yu, his face turning green. A guard walking up from behind could only pat his shoulder sympathetically before hurriedly following after.
After a while, once everyone had left, Xiao Mo Yi slowly emerged from Shan Mei Ge, staring intently in the direction where the carriage had just departed, frowning deeply. Then he let out a heavy sigh, "What a calamity..."
