Chapter 57 Sleep Together
Yun Xi looked away with a guilty conscience: "Let's go outside to investigate again. If we stay hidden, we might be lucky enough to get some clues."
Qin Mufeng was a little surprised: "Didn't I agree to take you to see the snow?"
"We are all going out, but... we are going back to the same destination?"
"I didn't expect Miss Yun to like snow so much."
Long Jiu's unintentional sigh reminded Yun Xi that the original owner didn't seem to like snowy days very much.
She lowered her head and narrowed her eyes in annoyance, and took a guilty sip of tea.
"It's okay, I didn't like it very much before. Haha..."
"Xi'er, are you okay?" Qin Mufeng looked at her blushing cheeks with worry.
"Ah? I'm fine. Why do you ask so suddenly?"
"You...drank my wine."
"!!!"
Yun Xi glanced at the large wine glass at hand and said why her face felt a little hot.
"It seems that Miss Yun gets on her face easily when she drinks."
I don't know if it was because of a guilty conscience, but Yun Xi always felt that Long Jiu's words meant something.
She raised her hands to cover her face, trying to cool down the temperature on her face quickly.
Qin Mufeng, who didn't understand why, became anxious: "Xi'er, let me help you go back to your room to rest for a while."
"You guys eat slowly, I'll just go back by myself." Yun Xi ran away as if running away.
Qin Mufeng felt relieved when he saw that although she walked fast, every step was steady.
For some reason, at this moment, he suddenly thought of the reception banquet hosted by the Holy One for Bai Chen.
I remember that Mu Bai came to toast on purpose, and he thought he was right in blocking it for her. I don’t know what she was thinking at that time.
Qin Mufeng suddenly laughed as he thought about it.
Long Jiu was a little curious: "Master Qin has thought of something interesting, and he is smiling so...happily."
The smile on Qin Mufeng's face froze for a moment and then opened wider.
"Master Qin, aren't you tired of wearing the mask every day?"
"..."
"Crack!"
The wine glass in Qin Mufeng's hand shattered, and the wine that had just been filled flowed all over the table.
"Look, it would be nice to be more real like this."
Long Jiu seemed to not understand the coldness in his eyes and said with a smile.
Qin Mufeng saw through his emotions and simply stopped pretending.
He wiped the drink on his hand gracefully and looked into the other person's eyes sharply.
"Master Long, making friends requires sincerity."
Long Jiu spread his hands and expressed no comment on his words.
"What I care about is Yun Xi, it doesn't matter whether I make friends with you or not."
A bottomless storm blew up in Qin Mufeng's eyes, and the words he spoke seemed as cold as ice.
"What is your purpose in approaching my wife?"
Long Jiu laughed mockingly when he heard his deliberate declaration of sovereignty.
"Your wife? Mr. Qin may have some misunderstanding about the word wife. This is the first time that Mr. Long has seen a couple sleeping in separate rooms."
To Qin Mufeng, Long Jiu's words were like a snake being hit seven inches, and his heart stung.
He wanted to say something to refute the other party, but after organizing the conversation for a long time, he couldn't find a suitable word.
"Mr. Qin, was Mr. Long poking a painful spot?"
Long Jiu pressed forward step by step, and Qin Mufeng finally couldn't help but get angry.
"I'm warning you, stay away from her, otherwise I won't mind using some means..."
Qin Mufeng didn't say clearly what he said. He believed that the other party could understand.
Long Jiu stared at Qin Mufeng for a while with a half-smiling smile: "My fair lady, a gentleman is so bold."
After saying that, he stood up and walked to the guest room upstairs.
Qin Mufeng looked at his back, his face gloomy and ugly.
There are very few people in this world whom Qin Mufeng cannot see through. Yun Xi is one, and Long Jiu is also one.
He knew that Long Jiu didn't really have any thoughts about Yun Xi, but this insistent attitude made him even more annoyed.
He knew that the other party would not approach without any reason, and he could not tell whether he was an enemy or a friend.
He had to guard against people who even the Dark Dragon couldn't find their origins.
However, what the other party said, "How can a couple sleep in separate rooms when they go out?" was quite right, and he agreed very much.
Thinking of this, Qin Mufeng smiled happily, asked the waiter for a bowl of hangover soup, and carried it upstairs himself...
Yun Xi sat by the window and watched the falling snow, her mood getting better little by little.
The hands that stretched out the window to catch the snow were frozen and stiff, but they didn't care.
Speaking of which, this was the first time in her two lives that she had seen such heavy snow.
There was a knock on the door, and she quickly closed the window.
"Xi'er, I asked someone to make sobering soup for you."
"Hiss—why is it so cold in your room?"
Yun Xi stretched out her hand, which was a little stiff from the cold, and took the hangover soup from his hand.
"Oh, I just opened the window for a while to get some air."
Qin Mufeng nodded, adhering to the principle of seeing things through without telling them.
"Then wear more clothes, be careful of the cold wind coming in and catching you."
Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Yun Xi turned to let him in.
"Thank you for the hangover soup," even though I didn't need it.
Qin Mufeng was a little worried when he saw that Yun Xi's face was still very red.
"Are you really okay? Are you dizzy?"
Seeing that he kept looking at her, Yun Xi lowered her head and took a sip of the hangover soup.
"It's okay, I just get angry when I drink. In fact, I have a pretty good drinking capacity."
Qin Mufeng had only heard of this kind of person before and had never seen him before.
"That's it..."
"Are you looking for something to do with me?"
"It's nothing, I just want to move over and sleep with you at night."
"puff--"
Yun Xi spat out a mouthful of hangover soup and looked at him in disbelief: "You, what did you say?"
Qin Mufeng felt a touch of bitterness in his heart when he saw her reacting so strongly.
He tried hard to control his emotions, took out a blue handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, wiped her mouth naturally, and explained with a smile: "It's my fault that I didn't explain clearly and scared you.
"
Yun Xi reacted and hid back: "I can do it myself."
The atmosphere was a little awkward, Qin Mufeng calmly took back the hand holding the handkerchief and squeezed it tightly.
"Something is wrong in Xuzhou. I did this because I didn't want to attract unnecessary attention from others."
Yun Xi gave him a half-understanding look: "You mean, from now on we will be shown as husband and wife?"
"Yunxi, we are husband and wife, it's legal and legitimate."
Qin Mufeng said it seriously, but Yun Xi rolled her eyes after hearing it.
"I know." There's still another month and a half. I hope we'll have finished our work and returned to Lijing by then.
Qin Mufeng felt a little regretful, but at least his goal was achieved.
"While the snow hasn't stopped, let's go out for a walk?"
Qin Mufeng tentatively suggested.
Yun Xi's eyes lit up instantly.
"OK."
With that said, she put down the hangover soup, got up, put on her cloak and headed out.
Qin Mufeng smiled helplessly and pulled her, taking the scarf hanging by the door and wrapping it around her.
"It's windy outside."
"Ouch."
The blushing Yun Xi felt a little uncomfortable, her voice was muffled, and her face seemed to be redder than before.
