Transmigrated into a vicious female supporting role, reborn as a hostage to the paranoid male protag

When Chu Xingchen saw her come back, the ice in his heart and eyes slowly began to melt.

Indeed, she is back.

She was not knocked unconscious by Zhaoying and carried back, she came back on her own.

Thinking of this, a faint curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if her appearance was like the warm sun in winter, lighting up his dark clothes.

"Sister, you're back." Chu Xingchen put down the book in his hand, stood up and hugged her in his arms.

The servant outside the door was tactful enough to close the open bedroom door, leaving only a brightly lit inner room and two figures, one black and one white, hugging each other.

"Why don't you hold an umbrella?" Chu Xingchen looked at the snow flakes on her head. Her cheek had just accidentally touched his earlobe, and it was very cold.

Her beautiful jet-black hair was tied into a bun and covered with dense snow-like dots.

Chu Xingchen's eyes gradually became gentle. Although he had never seen it, he could imagine in his mind the scene of her Poppy getting off the carriage and jogging towards him in the snow.

It was beautiful, and every snowflake represented her care for him.

In that instant, Chu Xingchen suddenly felt relieved. Even if she had the shadow of the merchant's son in her heart, she was not him, so she ran back to him.

"Sister," Chu Xingchen suddenly lowered his head to look at her, and held her whole body in his arms, with her back against the wooden door. At the moment when her head was about to touch the door, his hand quickly moved behind her head for fear that she would bump into him.

"Chu...Chu Xingchen..."

Su Yingxue was a little nervous when an iron arm suddenly appeared and trapped her between the door and him.

She felt he was too close to her and wanted to push him away.

Chu Xingchen pulled her resisting hand away and whispered softly into her earlobe, "Sister, just like this, stay with Xingchen for the rest of your life, okay?"

"Sister, Xingchen can protect you for your whole life."

"Sister, please stop looking at others, okay?"

He stretched out his slender fingers, covered her eyes with his hands, and whispered into her earlobe, "Xingchen, I don't want to see anyone else in your eyes in this life."

"Chu Xingchen, it's getting late and the winter nights are very cold. Why don't you go back to your room and get some rest?"

Su Yingxue's eyes were covered by him, and it was pitch black. She could only see the faint light leaking through his fingers.

His voice whispered in her ear, begging, but he didn't see that she was very insecure. She didn't like this feeling, this feeling of being controlled.

"Okay." Chu Xingchen let her go, carefully and gently patted the snow particles on her head, and then took off the fox fur coat that was stained with snow particles.

Ziyan Ziyun came into the house with hot water, and Chu Xingchen personally helped her wash up. Su Yingxue felt very uncomfortable, but she couldn't resist him in the end.

The night was as dark as water, the candlelight was dim, and Chu Xingchen put his arm around her waist, holding her lovingly, like a harmless Hakimi.

"Sister," Chu Xing lowered his chin to her forehead and asked softly, "Sister, why do you care so much about the palace banquet?"

Su Yingxue was suddenly speechless.

After spending so much time together, she gradually lost her initial resistance to Chu Xingchen. After all, despite being a bit domineering and strong, he did do a lot for her.

After all, people can't do it. Someone keeps being nice to you, taking care of you, and caring about you, and keeps doing this all the time, but you remain indifferent to his kindness.

Su Yingxue couldn't do it. People are made of flesh and blood. She couldn't remain indifferent to the sacrifices made by the people around her.

Although sometimes his ways didn't please her, she knew she was slowly accepting him.

Su Yingxue was actually very conflicted right now, because she felt her heart was wavering.

The night was long, and he held her in his arms as he fell asleep. The wind and snow outside were raging, and the coldness of the warm tent inside the house became warmer because they slept in each other's arms.

······

Private room on the top floor of Phoenix Building.

The place is magnificent and the elegant seats are filled with delicious food and cups.

Su Liyue looked at the man in white who sat in front of her in a well-behaved manner and whispered, "Master Mo, I have some clues about the matter you asked me to investigate."

Su Liyue looked at Mo Yunsheng in front of her. He was polite and courteous. He sat on the other side of the private room without moving his chopsticks. He just sat there quietly with a calm expression, as if he was an immortal banished to earth.

But when he heard that there was some clue, his calm eyes suddenly became like a stone dropped into a deep pool, and ripples appeared.

That ripple seemed to betray his heart.

Su Liyue didn't miss that ripple either.

"Is the Qin Xue you asked me to investigate this person?"

Su Liyue handed Mo Yunsheng a portrait. They had made a deal a few days ago. She would track down someone for him, and he would do something for her in the future.

For Su Liyue, this was simply a matter of finding someone. This deal was a win-win for her.

Mo Yunsheng took the scroll with trembling fingers. He opened it carefully, but saw a completely different face.

Mo Yunsheng was a little surprised. He looked up at Su Liyue, and even his voice trembled with nervousness.

"This is not, this is not Qin Xue."

"This is not it, Sister Xue."

Mo Yunsheng's beautiful face was filled with shock and loss. He couldn't believe that this Qin Xue was clearly not the same person as the Ah Xue he had met.

"Mr. Mo," Su Liyue said calmly, "Do you know that Liyue is Princess Changle and has the support of the Xuanyuan family? Although it may be difficult to find a mere person, digging her out is not that difficult."

Su Liyue said calmly, "This is indeed Qin Xue. Someone has been hiding her whereabouts. The people in this palace went to great lengths to search her ancestral home and finally found this small portrait."

Su Liyue is a member of a royal family and has a stunningly beautiful face. Her light tone of voice is very consistent with her role as the heroine.

"There's something else quite interesting." Su Liyue chuckled faintly, "Not only is Qin Xue not the Qin Xue you know, but even Qin Dong is not the Qin Dong you know."

"During our investigation, our people discovered that someone was deliberately concealing the true identity of the two siblings," Su Liyue said calmly. "After carefully unraveling the mystery, our people discovered that all the clues point to one person."

"Her Royal Highness the current Princess, Su Yingxue."

"The real Qin Dong and Qin Xue both changed their identities according to her arrangement."

"But, Mr. Mo," Su Liyue suddenly smiled. She was already noble and elegant, and at this moment, she was even more cunning and smart.

"Tell me, Your Highness, the Princess, why did you go to so much trouble to hide these two people?"

Su Liyue felt that it was becoming more and more interesting. Qin Xue and Qin Dong with fake identities, and the unpredictable Su Yingxue, were these the hidden plots of the novel?

Su Liyue handed over another small portrait and said softly, "Perhaps, Mr. Mo would like to see the portrait of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
