A red apricot is about to cheat on you

Yi Duoer felt guilty. She walked towards him with light and slow steps, raised her slender and fair hand slightly, and patted his shoulder gently, again and again.

At the same time, she opened her red lips slightly: "That's not what I meant."

Chu Jingchen turned his body quickly and agilely, holding Yi Duoer tightly in his arms.

Those arms seemed to be made of the strongest steel, tightly wrapping around Yi Duoer.

He buried his face deeply in Yi Duo'er's cascading hair, his nostrils twitching slightly and rapidly, each breath filled with endless affection and longing.

Yi Duoer was so startled by the sudden warm hug that her body stiffened suddenly. Her two crescent-shaped eyebrows were tightly furrowed together in an instant, and the alarm bells in her heart rang loudly.

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind like lightning, and she was secretly alert: The behavior of this woman in front of her was so abrupt, could it be that she was secretly instructed by someone with ill intentions, and deliberately disguised herself as such a pitiful appearance, with the purpose of relaxing her vigilance like a taut bowstring, and then killing her when she was off guard?

Thinking of this, her hand quietly slid to her waist.

There, an exquisite and sharp dagger was cleverly hidden. As long as the opponent made the slightest suspicious move, she would draw the knife without hesitation and strike first as quickly as possible.

However, time passed quietly, and Chu Jingchen just hugged her quietly, without any trace of danger in his embrace.

Yi Duo'er's tense nerves gradually showed signs of relaxation, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Chu Jingchen clearly felt that her body was so thin that it was distressing.

After a long time, Chu Jingchen was still immersed in the joy and sadness of reunion, with no intention of loosening his arms.

Yi Duoer gradually felt her breathing become rapid, and her chest seemed to be pressed down by an extremely heavy rock, almost suffocating her.

She raised her arms with all her strength and, with a hint of determination, struggled to break free from his embrace.

Then, she stared at Chu Jingchen with her bright and puzzled eyes, with inquiry and confusion in her eyes.

Chu Jingchen was a little overwhelmed by her direct and passionate gaze, and could only explain in a sad tone:

"Everyone in this world avoids me like the plague. Only you, the girl, don't despise me. I was just deeply touched by your kindness and gentleness, and I couldn't help myself, so I lost my composure and did something so offensive to the girl," he said.

He slowly raised his slightly trembling hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes that seemed like they would burst out at any moment.

Seeing him like this, Yi Duoer was surprised. She took the initiative to stretch out her hand as white as mutton-fat jade and gently held Chu Jingchen's rough hand.

Inadvertently, she noticed that his hands were extremely rough and covered with thick calluses, which seemed like deep marks left by time.

However, she did not think too much about it. She just thought that he came from a poor family and had to work hard under the pressure of life since childhood. It would be unreasonable if he did not have these calluses.

"Were you really assigned here?" Yi Duoer tilted her head slightly, looking like a cute little kitten, with a hint of barely perceptible doubt in her tone.

Chu Jingchen nodded without hesitation and gave her an affirmative answer.

"Okay! What's your name?" Yi Duoer asked softly. Chu Jingchen lowered his head slightly, thinking for a moment, and then, as if mustering up great courage, blurted out: "My name is A Jing!"

Yi Duoer shook her head slightly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a charming smile like a blooming spring flower, and said:

"You don't have to call me a slave. In fact, I am also a slave here." As she spoke, her smile became brighter.

This smile was like an extremely sharp sword, piercing straight into Chu Jingchen's heart and making him feel heartbroken.

Then, rage surged in his heart like a surging tide. His daughter, Duo'er, had been captured and enslaved. He secretly vowed to quickly destroy the tyrannical and ambitious Dongli Kingdom and make those who had hurt her pay a heavy price.

Seeing him lost in thought, Yi Duoer raised her hand and waved it gently in front of his eyes. Chu Jingchen instantly came back to his senses, and his eyes were full of tenderness when he looked at her, as if all the tenderness in the world was gathered here.

At this moment, a burst of orderly and heavy footsteps came from a distance, and several guards hurried over, escorting Xie Xingchen.

Xie Xingchen's eyes were full of worry, and his gaze was like a burning flame, fixed on Yi Duoer.

He walked quickly, like a gust of wind, and quickly came to Yi Duoer.

He subconsciously wanted to raise his hands to hold Yi Duoer's shoulders, his hands trembling slightly in the air, with a hint of anxiety and panic.

But Yi Duo'er was like a frightened deer, her body instinctively dodged backwards, and she hid behind Chu Jingchen involuntarily.

Chu Jingchen sensed Yi Duoer's fear. He raised his head slightly and glanced at Xie Xingchen coldly. His eyes were like cold stars, flashing with strong murderous intent.

Xie Xingchen's gaze was completely on Yi Duoer. His voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, gently brushing past Yi Duoer's ears:

"Duo'er, it's cold here. I'll take you back." Yi Duo'er rolled her eyes at him. Her eyes were filled with indifference and alienation, like the ice in winter. She turned her head to the side and said coldly, "This is not Dongli Kingdom, and I am from Qi Dynasty. Your orders have no effect on me. I can be wherever I want. It's none of your business!"

Xie Xingchen had never felt such a cold and distant attitude from her. He felt a sharp pain in his heart and felt extremely uncomfortable, but he still endured the pain in his heart and said patiently:

"Don't treat me like this, you know I will be sad and upset! I will never lie to you again. Be obedient and come back with me!" After saying that, he wanted to go forward and hold Yi Duoer, and his hands slowly stretched out again, with a hint of pleading and unwillingness.

However, Chu Jingchen quickly stretched out his hand to separate them. Chu Jingchen's voice was as cold as a biting cold wind, whistling past:

"My girl said she won't go with you. If you keep pestering me, don't blame me for being rude!" Xie Xingchen was stunned at first, his eyes full of surprise and anger, and then he felt that this woman was courting death and dared to contradict him like this.

Immediately, his face darkened and he shouted angrily: "Come here, take this woman away!" Seeing this, Yi Duoer immediately stood in front of Chu Jingchen without hesitation. Her eyes were as firm as a rock, and she thought to herself:

How could she let them take her away directly? However, she couldn't help but feel that Chu Jingchen was indeed bold, daring to openly contradict Xie Xingchen. But she also thought that Chu Jingchen did this for her, so a ripple appeared in her heart.

She looked at Xie Xingchen coldly and said, "She has just been assigned to Aunt Jiang's tent. You know how much the Heavenly Khan values ​​her. If you dare to touch her people, I believe you will not be able to explain yourself. But it's just right. I'm tired too. I can go back by myself, so there's no need for the Crown Prince of Dongli to see me off. Ah Jing, let's go..."

After Yi Duoer finished speaking, she held Chu Jingchen's hand tightly and left. Her steps were hurried, as if there was a flood or a beast chasing her from behind.

She was afraid that if she delayed even a second, Xie Xingchen would really punish A Jing. At this moment, she knew that she had no ability to compete with them, and she couldn't even protect herself. So she could only be obedient for the time being and avoid the limelight.

Xie Xingchen looked solemn as he watched the two people leaving. He felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his heart, making him very uncomfortable.

He tilted his head slightly, facing the guard beside him, and said in a low and majestic voice: "Go check the background of this new maid!"

"Yes!" Nifeng responded in a deep voice, with a hint of awe and loyalty in his voice.

When Yi Duoer was about to return to the tent, she had her own little plan in mind.

She thought that she planned to bring Chu Jingchen directly to the tent to see Jiang Wange's reaction, so that she could know whether she was a new maid.

But when Yi Duoer just walked into the tent, Han Bai was about to get something for his master's mother.

Jiang Wange didn't want him to work so hard, but Han Bo wanted to show his courtesy to his master, so he would not miss any opportunity.

Just then, Yi Duoer walked in, and what caught her eye was Han Bo's creepy face.

His face was like a rough stone, sculpted by the knife of time. His features were hard and fierce, and his thick beard grew like weeds, almost covering most of his face. Furthermore, the dim candlelight made the cypress trees look even more eerie!

When Yi Duoer saw this, her mind went blank for a moment, as if all her thoughts had stopped functioning at that moment.

She let go of Chu Jingchen's hand in horror, and her body reacted quickly like a spring. She raised her hand reflexively and punched Han Bo in the right eye.

Only a dull groan was heard, Han Bo covered his eyes and squatted down in pain.

"Oh my god... ghost... there's a ghost!" Yi Duoer shouted subconsciously, her voice full of fear and panic.

The shout alarmed the soldiers guarding outside the tent, and they quickly came in as if they were facing a great enemy.

Seeing this, Jiang Wange hurried over with a trace of anxiety and helplessness on her face. She repeatedly explained to the soldiers that it was a misunderstanding and that the two maids were new.

After hearing this, the soldiers snorted coldly, with a hint of displeasure, and walked out again.

Yi Duo'er gradually recovered from her shock. She looked at Jiang Wange with an extremely intriguing expression on her face, her brows furrowed tightly. That expression seemed to silently say: Are they really new maids? Why are the people shoved into their tents so ugly?

Jiang Wange couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Yi Duoer's expression. Her smile was like the spring sun, warm and kind.

She reached out and took Yi Duoer's hands, which were soft yet strong. She led Yi Duoer to sit at the table and repeatedly told her not to be afraid or angry. Yi Duoer smiled lightly, with a hint of embarrassment and relief in her smile. How could she still be afraid? She didn't even know where to start being angry.

Then, Chu Jingchen glared at Han Bo fiercely, and his eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire.

He thought to himself that Han Bo had actually scared his Duo'er. If anything bad happened to him, he would definitely not let him off easily.

Han Bo looked aggrieved; he just wanted to appear better in front of his boss. Yi Duo'er might be a petite woman, but her strength was astonishing. The punch sent stars through his eyes, and he was now clutching his right eye, groaning in pain, his eyes filled with raw pain.

Yi Duoer looked up at Han Bo with an apologetic look on her face, but when she saw Han Bo's vulgar face and his beard as thick as a jungle again, she couldn't help but shiver.

She pulled a face and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, the light was too dim and I couldn't see clearly. I thought..." Yi Duoer paused. She was conflicted and didn't know how to put it. If she said that he looked like a ghost, wouldn't it be too hurtful to his self-esteem?

"I'll get some medicine to wipe your wound!" After saying that, she stood up and walked to the corner of the tent. After rummaging through a pile of items for a while, she finally found a bottle of ointment. Then she slowly walked towards Han Bo, wanting to wipe his wound.
