"No way, that little fox has taken advantage of me, so you must compensate me properly!"
Simu Han pouted, looking like an angry little boy, refusing to back down. However, there was only amusement in Phoenix Eyes, with no trace of anger.
As he spoke, Simu Han reached out and snatched the little fox from Le Yao Yao's arms. He leaned toward her, intent on giving her a kiss.
Seeing his childlike jealousy, Le Yao Yao found it both amusing and exasperating.
Of course, she wouldn't let him kiss her, so she giggled and ran ahead, with Simu Han hot on her heels.
In this beautiful world blanketed in silver, where plum blossoms scented the air and the snow lay pristine, a girl and a boy chased each other joyfully. It was a scene of pure beauty.
However, it also stung someone’s eyes!
After Le Yao Yao and Simu Han left, a Crimson Enchantress emerged slowly from behind a large tree in the forest. She was a seductive woman.
This woman was incredibly beautiful, with striking features and in her prime. The blood-red dress she wore accentuated her enchanting allure even more.
Yet at this moment, her charming eyes were filled with fierce anger and malice, like a venomous snake closely following Le Yao Yao's figure, as if she wanted to peel off her skin and devour her whole…
Suddenly, while playing with Simu Han, he felt a chill run through him, and his feet came to an abrupt stop.
"What's wrong? Xiner?"
Noticing something unusual about Le Yao Yao, Simu Han asked worriedly.
His handsome face was filled with concern.
Facing the man before her, who cared for her so deeply, his exquisite face radiated genuine concern.
However, Le Yao Yao suppressed the sudden unease in her heart and shook her head at him.
"I'm fine."
"Are you really okay? Look at your pale face. No, I’ll have Azure Wind fetch a doctor right away."
As he spoke, Simu Han turned to find someone, but in the end, Le Yao Yao stopped him.
"Look at you; I'm not some delicate person. I'm fine; I'm just a bit hungry."
In order to ease Simu Han's worries, Le Yao Yao had no choice but to speak up.
In truth, what she said wasn't a lie; she was genuinely hungry.
After all, as a pregnant woman, her appetite was large—one body nourishing two people naturally made her more prone to hunger!
Upon hearing this, Simu Han let out a heavy sigh of relief.
The frown that had been tightly knit began to relax, and he smiled brightly, his beauty captivating.
"Haha, I see! My little baby must be hungry too. Let me go get something to eat right away."
Simu Han laughed heartily, his expression filled with happiness and joy.
Watching the man before her laugh so openly, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but think.
What if she had never met Leng Junyu? Would she have fallen in love with this man?
Of course, there is no answer to that.
...
Upon returning to Mu Xin Pavilion, Simu Han had already instructed the servants to prepare a lavish feast.
Moreover, today’s spread featured a variety of dishes that hadn’t been repeated from previous meals.
What greeted them was a hot pot.
And not just any hot pot, but one with a very spicy and numbing broth.
The large pot was filled with a vibrant red chili soup, and the fragrant, spicy aroma wafting through the air was enough to make anyone's mouth water.
On the table lay an array of freshly sliced thin cuts of beef, pork, fish fillets, shrimp, crabs, and various fresh vegetables.
Looking at the bountiful spread before her, Le Yao Yao felt her appetite awaken, her eyes wide with delight at the colorful display.
It had certainly stirred the cravings within her.
Unable to resist the temptation any longer, Le Yao Yao swallowed hard and took a seat without hesitation.
“Xiner, let’s eat! These are all your favorites; you might enjoy the spiciness,” she encouraged.
“Hehe, yes, I do love spicy food,” Xiner replied.
Le Yao Yao spoke honestly, then unceremoniously picked up the Jade Chopsticks and grabbed a piece of fatty beef to place into the constantly boiling pot, which was emitting light steam.
After pausing for three seconds, Le Yao Yao immediately lifted the piece of beef, dipped it in some chili vinegar, and began to eat.
"Mm, this tastes really good."
Feeling the fragrant, spicy, and tender meat in her mouth made Le Yao Yao involuntarily squint her eyes and let out a sigh of admiration.
Simu Han watched her eat happily, smiling joyfully beside her.
It seemed that just watching her eat was the happiest thing in the world.
She had noticed the deep affection and indulgence in Simu Han's eyes, but Le Yao Yao knew she could not reciprocate his love.
Because she was not his Xiner, nor did she want to be the heart of his deceased beloved.
So, Le Yao Yao focused on eating hot pot, never lifting her gaze to look at Simu Han's face or saying much.
The meal ended with Le Yao Yao devouring food while Simu Han gazed at her intently.
Once the servants cleared away the leftover dishes and replaced them with exquisite fruit tea, Simu Han finally spoke to Le Yao Yao. His tone was casual.
"Xiner, I want to show you something."
"Oh? What is it?"
Upon hearing Simu Han's words, Le Yao Yao curiously asked while taking out a warm, damp towel to wipe her hands and small mouth.
Simu Han heard this but smiled without speaking. Suddenly, he clapped his small hands, and with the crisp sound of applause, several people walked in from outside.
Because those people had their backs to the light, Le Yao Yao couldn't see who they were at first.
She only noticed that two men were escorting someone inside.
Once they entered, the two men loosened their grip and pushed the person they were holding down to the ground.
"Reporting to the Master, we have brought the person you wanted."
"Good."
Simu Han nodded in satisfaction.
At that moment, Le Yao Yao, who was sitting there, couldn't help but focus her gaze on the person who had fallen to the ground and was unable to stand up.
When she finally saw the person's face clearly, her beautiful eyes widened in shock.
The person on the ground was wearing a fox fur vest and a silk skirt made of fine satin.
However, at that moment, she was dirty all over, her hair was disheveled, her makeup was smudged, and her face was frighteningly pale. Nevertheless, Le Yao Yao recognized the woman immediately.
"It's you, Nian Sulan!?"
Indeed, the woman on the ground in such a sorry state was none other than Nian Sulan!
At this moment, with Le Yao Yao's exclamation, the woman who had fallen to the ground trembled all over and slowly raised her eyes filled with confusion.
After seeing Le Yao Yao sitting there perfectly fine, Nian Sulan could hardly believe her eyes.
"It’s you!? How are you still alive!?"
"Uh..."
Upon encountering the unexpected Nian Sulan, Le Yao Yao was momentarily at a loss for words, but the next statement from Nian Sulan left her speechless.
"Why would I die?"
After a long pause, Le Yao Yao finally asked in confusion.
It had been quite some time since she last saw Nian Sulan. The last time they met, Nian Sulan had boldly drugged Sour Plum Soup, which unfortunately was consumed by Nangong Junxi, leading to an incident with Tong Yaar. Following that, Leng Junyu had ordered that Nian Sulan be barred from entering the residence.
Thus, it had been a while since she had seen Nian Sulan.
Unexpectedly, their reunion would occur under such circumstances.
While Le Yao Yao was still in shock and confusion, on the ground, Nian Sulan, perhaps feeling too embarrassed in her current state, struggled to get up.
Proud as she was, she didn’t want to appear so disheveled in front of others, especially not in front of her rival.
After some effort, Nian Sulan finally managed to rise from the ground.
Although she was now dirty and disheveled, with her hair in disarray, the look in her eyes as she glared at Le Yao Yao was filled with undisguised malice and disdain.
Especially after seeing the man sitting next to Le Yao Yao, her eyes flickered for a moment before she spoke with disgust towards Le Yao Yao.
"You shameless woman, it's truly sickening! Since you have Cousin Yu, how can you still flirt with other men? You're nothing but a fickle woman!"
Hearing Nian Sulan's harsh words, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but furrow her beautiful dark eyebrows, knowing that she was misunderstood and wanting to explain.
However, before she could say anything, Simu Han, who was sitting beside her, frowned.
The man in black standing to the lower left of Nian Sulan rushed forward at lightning speed and slapped Nian Sulan hard across the face.
With a loud 'smack,' Nian Sulan's face was immediately turned to the side, and her frail body fell to the ground once again.
Fortunately, the ground was covered with soft white wool, so falling on it wouldn't hurt at all.
Nevertheless, the sound of that resounding slap still made Le Yao Yao's heart tremble.
After all, although she didn't like Nian Sulan, seeing her being treated this way softened her heart a little. She immediately frowned and turned to look at Simu Han.
"You..."
"Xiner, are you trying to plead for her?"
Before Le Yao Yao could finish her sentence, Simu Han had already anticipated her thoughts and voiced them.
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Le Yao Yao nodded immediately.
"I don't know why you brought her here, but please let her go, okay?"
Le Yao Yao turned to Simu Han and pleaded.
After all, she didn't like Nian Sulan, but now that she had fallen into the hands of the Evil One Sect, those people were ruthless. If she didn't plead for her, Nian Sulan would likely be tortured severely.
Moreover, asking Simu Han to let Nian Sulan go was also a selfish move on her part.
Because if Nian Sulan was released, she might tell Leng Junyu that she had been captured by the Evil One Sect.
Although the possibility of that happening was very slim.
But having hope was certainly better than having none, right!?
